Prepping the MG Midget


First we build a special " picture frame" on which to place the modified midget body.



picture frame

This is build in a sequence of seven steps.
Once the picture frame is complete and the front of the Midget removed,
the body is placed on the top of the frame.
This will keep the Midget body square and true.

The rear fins are cut off and the back rounded to obtain the "Gatsby" look.

Special body mounts are made and will later be bolted on the rear of the Midget,
where the rear wheels use to be mounted,
to secure the body to the donor car frame.
After the body work is done, it's off to the painter.
