Gilmer midgets

[bobjeffreson]

Thanks oldschooler,
Looks like I'll just have to work out the time difference and give Mr Gilmer a call.....
You said....."These midgets are like potato chips, you just can't have one."
I'd just like to see one up close, to start with.......LOL

two more in the shop. Again, not mine, but very cool machines. The black one houses a custom conley engine that was cut in half to make it a 4 cyl. The red one is actually the first gilmer car ever produced. It was their prototype!!! Very, Very cool piece to have at the house. Julie is going to sleep on the floor tonight just so these have a warm place to stay.

the red one runs and is quite impressive. My favorite so far is the black and then the yellow one.

[Mike Casey]

we are scheduled to do a video on sunday on these. Wish us luck!! Saturday is reserved for RCX!!!

[Mike Casey]

Might need to be 2 or 3 parts. I think its gonna be a long one.

[Mike Casey]

Two more hit the dock today. Red one is a full runner and the yellow one is a 4cyl with QC rear mock up.

NO, these are not mine and YES i am the kinda guy to "borrow" cars for a photo shoot!!!!

More to come later... maybe a group shot too if you guys are good!

[Mike Casey]

Here are some "official" shots. These two are another set of works of art, just like the rest. Included are a couple group shots! WHOAAAA, Man, what a rare shot! So many in one place at one time. Pretty neat deal. Although we cant eat dinner anymore...

Mike: Er, are these cars real .... or are you just good at photoshop?

Kevin

[Mike Casey]

Yea, they are real!!!!

Funky, you dont know it, but yours is slowing rolling this way. Better put some wheel blocks under it. Before the sanctuary magnet gets a strong hold onto it!!!

Mike,
What a sight....6 Gilmers in the one place at the one time. Beautiful!!!!! Keep up the great work on these amazing cars.
BTW....A big Hi from the Katerina City Hotel Moscow, Russia.

[Mike Casey]

Yea, heard you were there... What the hell are you doing? Sounds like you have been doing a ton of traveling lately.

Anyway, my friend is anxious to get these back. So its time to send them on their way. I could use the space anyway LOL!!

Dan,

I'm sure there is another thread somewhere!!

[Mike Casey]

that is a mean car!

would love to see that one in person...

[bobjeffreson]

Well finally here is my Gilmer Midget finished. Wasn't sure where to post it, as it's not truly a Jan Gilmer car. I fabricated a lot of the parts.....dogbox, radiator, steering set-up, so I will never claim this to be a Gilmer. I class it as my tribute to Jan and his wonderful midgets
I would like to thank Jan publically here and now, for his assistance in getting my midget to this standard. I will only place 2 photos here. The rest will be in the "projects in progress" thread that I started in relation to this car.

[Bobby Dodger]

Bob, I just now saw these photos of the finished car - well done mate. I am presently angling for a GMP Offy to put in one of mine

Cheers
