Wow, lotsa Willies showin' up here! The bumble bee car is called the Pollinator Special, after a nickname I incurred in high school with all the fertile young lasses. Draw yer own conclusions.
It started out as a rolling 1919-1925-1926 chassis. I Z lowered the frame in the back 5" and mounted an auxilliary front crossmember lowering the front 5" as well. The steering column is lowered and has a homemade body with 21" Model T wire wheels. The motor is a fresh rebuild with aluminum pistons only.
The front axle is stock with 26-7 lowered spindles, but I changed the wishbone to a pair of "T" bones (like old school "A" bones) due to the extended front crossmember. All the custom front end stuff was fabbed by MOI.
The best part is its all a 12 volt system with a good strong Magneto. Starter, alternator, and sealed beam headlamps. Ive probably got a walloping $2000 invested in this one and that includes a rebuilt trans and differential. The wheels and tires not included. Those were a trade.
The red chassis is how I got it and the finished product (semi finished) can be seen in the thred here called "All 12 volts all the time" with lotsa pics. ws
