Oh, check this 1920 Briggs-Stratton Cyclecar I spied in a friend's auto show guide today; anybody seen one o' these babies before? Anybody up for making a replica?

my father owned a few of these cars and the rights to the company, blueprints, and molds for parts. they are street legal and a lot of fun

tomcatfranks;
Like you, I was intrigued when I discovered these cyclecars, so when I found a website (www.aosmith.com, I think) that had made available the original blueprints for the vehicle, I was determined to build a replica. I used the exact original dimensions, and used a bike motor to drive the 5th wheel. I did a lot of research and found that the original engine is the grandfather of all subsequent B&S small engines! If you google "Smith motorwheel" or "Briggs motorwheel" you will find a lot of information. I wrote two entries for Wikipedia on the motorwheel. I am attaching some photos of my replica.
