  • Our 1969 King Midget microcar is ready for a road trip! We Predator 670 swapped our King Midget and figured to drive it 300 miles to the beach for a 4th of July Parade and to do fireworks on the beach! What we didn't consider is that just because we increased the horsepower with a Predator 670 to keep up with traffic doesn't mean that the rest of the King Midget is ready! We installed a dual master cylinder and rebuilt the steering tie rods, but the steering and brakes were not exactly up to par for this road trip!

    It was really nice to see you guys back at Johns parents house. I commented on a video quite a while back where Johns Dad rode the snowmobile in the yard. I rambled on about how that day will one day be a cool memory to look back on and how cool it was that your Dad was involved. I lost my Dad two nights ago. We were somewhat estranged but he was the man that taught me to weld with both arc and gas when I was 10 or 11. He taught me how to fix damn near anything with what was on hand and I still do the fixing of things that I have absolutely no idea about today just by taking it apart and seeing how it works. I wish now I would have made more of an effort to communicate with him as I knew he wanted to talk to me. I tried a couple of times and when I couldn't get him I thought "There I tried, nothing to feel guilty about". Anyway, enjoy as much time as you can with your parents and make as many fun memories as you can with them. Record them on video or just normal conversations on audio. It's not something we really think about until the opportunity is no longer there. This wasn't a depressing post for me so please no worries. Watching your Dad enjoy himself on that sled in the summer and seeing you all back there just got me thinking. Thanks again for all the fun content. Much love from Ontario, Canada.

    Relatively speaking the mileage isn't that bad for screaming along at 3700 rpm. With an overdrive you'd probably get close to 40 mpg. Sounds like some engine mods and gearing change are in order.

    Do you all think you could try and incorporate a radiator to maybe help keep the engine cool, or maybe try to figure out a way to cool the oil down? You could probably use a mini oil cooler that are usually mounted on cars for extra cooling. It'd also be cool to see it lifted with better wheels.
