Mighty Mite Pics

Hi Gents,

Here are pictures of my two Mighty Mites, & my M416 trailer.

Post up your pics!

Looking sharp. Just curious, did you build them up/restore them yourself?

Is that M416 trailer a genuine M416B1, with the Mighty-Mite rims and the lifting tabs on the corners?

The one on the left is a frame off restoration. When we picked it up it was partially restored, my buddy cbvet and I worked on it part time for a year, then we took it to Russ Jones in Hallsville Ohio to finish. The one on the right all we had to do was carb work and paint.

The 416 is not a "B"model,no lifting hooks,has m-38-a1 rims I think,700/16 tires. Got the trailer free with one of the mites and have over $800 in parts,tires, paint, and canvas, but it came out pretty good.

All parties involved did a great job on the restored one, and you got lucky on the second one. It never ceases to amaze me the talent and dedication of some of the people out there. One of these days when I get the money and a better place to keep it I hope to get a Mighty Mite as nice as yours, or restore one as nice as yours.

Thank you for your positive comments. There were many 1-3 am times when cbvet wanted to punch me for my "great idea"

I've been there with the late night/early morning brilliant ideas... and I've been kicked in the shin at least once for it. But you definitely have a set to be proud of.

I never wanted to punch you. I did contemplate murder a time or two though.................
