Re: M151 MUTT replica kit
If their bodies were made of steel, cutting them in half wouldn't
have been a problem, they'd just weld the ends back together as most
Japanese ricers are salvaged.

Well, Citroens, at least D-series models, didn't. They had hydraulic
spheres that acted as spring and damper ('shock absorber'). Rolls Royce
used them as well but only as a "helper" in addition to conventional
springs. A Rolls weighs almost three times what a Citroen does.
A few Brit cars used a poor-man's version called Hydrolastic. One Indy
car in '64 or '65 or thereabouts used it and was called the MG Liquid
Suspension Special. It had an Offenheuser for power.

Re: M151 MUTT replica kit
Umm, welding them back togeather *is* what they do, as per our
previous missives mentioning my wife's second cousin's husband's (you
remember him, Right??) project.
Here's some documentary evidence by way of a MUTT I found sitting in a
parking lot one day,
http://www.tantel.ca/Images/M151%20MUTT%20PICS/
I'd like to bring to your attention pics 3 & 4 in particular, those
funny looking verticle bumps on the rockers is where it was cut into
*Three* sections (like in this link from the last message
http://www.sphynx.com/mitymite/m151half.html: )
& welded back togeather.
And, yes, although it doesn't show in the pics it was quite definately
Rusty.
Waiting Patiently,
H.
