'78 Midget of
Joe Rogucki
this is an excerpt from the
articles appearing in the Octagon
The September 2010 issue's Queen B is the '78 Midget of Joe
Rogucki. Here is his story:
Here is my 1978 Midget, I found it languishing in a friends yard
with lots of work to do. It had well over 100,000 miles on it and all the
underpinnings needed updated or replaced. It was painted red, and had lots of
body work due to an accident. I bought her 5 years ago, started to work on her
myself, after fixing the breaks and suspension. I replaced the 4 speed
transmission with a 5 speed ford T9 kit, added a Weber downdraft carb and
headers. I found a body shop willing to take on the
 project,
they returned her to her original "brooklands green" and the Union Jack on the
back was added on a whim. The engine was re-built by Medina Motorsports in
Medina, Oh. I added new wheels, and interior, and steering wheel. It is a "daily
driver' when the weathers good and it's so much fun to drive I have a hard time
sitting around at shows. Enjoy the photos; red before, green after.
