I found this body on marketplace awhile back. There's no tags or plates and I can't seem to find any info on it. Maybe someone here knows.

No Kevin, it will look stupid. It is supposed to be elegant. Auburns were elegant, luxurious and fast! Even that body has the beautiful lines!

They are in my top 5 of favorite cars. Plan to build as close to scale and accurately as possible. This is only the second one that I know of and have never seen another one. Might have to make a mold.

please please make a mold. You would do the entire kart community a favor. Definitely not something I'd cut up, even though I like Morgans.

That is the perfect body to create a mini car from. What are the dimensions? I cannot tell how big or small it is.

Hey man, Morgans are elegant but I need to clobber F-A over the head for even suggesting removing the fenders...

I have been lurking talking trash and having fun here. You accepted me (if not.....be nice....and be quiet) :p 1st off, I write like the great icon spoke "Capt. KIRK":thumbsup: Enjoy this tale that may take a couple years I asked earlier "What is a go-kart?" Noone knew how to answer, that...

Hey Hellion,
I was just sharing (1) of the "visions" that pop-ed up, in my head :cheers2:

So, (before any clobbering) just for a minute imagine that beautiful body, without them rear fenders (or that big 'ol ICE hole)
...just a "flyin'" down the road :auto:

IMO it would be uniquely BAD AZZ :banana:

* Hmmm how would someone go about making a mold of something like that? :unsure:

It's all good. No real clobbering was intended or invoked... 😉

But was Denny right and you were talking about those 3-wheel Morgan trikes?
And, I like no fenders on cars that originally had fenders too, especially something like a late model T or a 1930s model A roadster turned into a "gow job".
