My mentor in craziness built a full size '60's era Thames van, with an L88 427, and B&M hydro, back in the day. His next project was a bug eye sprite with the same drivetrain. After a couple of test drives in the van, ( I only went on one) the sprite project got scrapped. The last time I was at his shop the sprite was still sitting in a pile in the corner, on its tube frame, with the front end off. Short wheelbase, and big horsepower, are not a good combination. I always wanted to build a model of that sprite, but never found a kit.
