1970 Car Craft Mini Dragster Mickey Thompson Creation
I got a bunch of old car craft and hot rod mags from 1968-74 at a flea market a few years ago and found this mini dragster made by the great Mickey Thompson for $395 back in the day. I was thinking about making one very soon. It had a 3hp Techumseh on it with a top speed of 20 or so mph. Who's up for easy build? Slap a modded engine on this one for a wild ride.

Looks pretty cool. I think if you put my engine on it you'd end up killing yourself.

You wouldnt be scared on that with my dragster motor in it? Well for one it would just blow a cent clutch to peices the second you layed your foot into the pedel. Then we'd have red hot flying clutch peices right towards your well.....
