NMNA Nash Metropolitan $1250

Booky Face

Would love to see someone build a gasser version for the challenge. I'm not terribly far away from it. 

There only a 2in difference in wheelbase between a Metropolitan and an NA Miata. Just saying.

And only 4 inches in width. I never would imagined that!

Yea. Ida guessed closer to 10!

My wife would murder both of us, if she found out!

I've been under the bonnet of one, and no way my K75 or K1100 would fit. But I have an evil plan for where the passenger seat USED to be!

I guess, despite the size, it's still a hood, but I digress...

Weld it all together .  Tilt nose, gasser style.

Note that the front and rear windows are flat, so slicing down the middle to fit the Miata track is not is not impossible. That cute little scoop on the bonnet can be augmented to help hide the scar.

I'm gonna link this here ..

The wheel wells on the stock Nash are really fugly, but when you look at them as a blank canvas...

Yea, I caught the gasser style suggestion, when Apex mentioned it in his original post. 

In reply to Apexcarver :

Oh, my! That looks better than any modern sports car  (not including the exotic, and some of them!) I've seen! Love the way they meshed the body lines. 

I mean I started thinking like this

But that one changed my vision. Wide 5 round round parts, sla front suspension, quick change rear, dog box on a high rev v8, track day machine... All for the corners

This one raced at Goodwood with an enlarged MGB engine...

In reply to NOHOME :

F-dat. Fender flares.

In reply to Apexcarver :

I've got a panther chassis to shorten, but the box flairs would be wider than the Nash
