Will Our 1969 King Midget Microcar Drive 300 MILES to the Beach? (4th of July Special!)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 лип 2023
- 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!

As soon as we wrapped the episode it started down pouring and the rear tire blew😳
Glad yall made it there safe. Happy independence day guys 🇺🇸
please turbo this thing
Fun
Lucky you got there ok 👌 👍
Tyres can be replaced
Turbo it
Petition for putting a turbo in it
Love that John is trying to say the Jeremy Clarkson “terrible disappointment” line, meanwhile Charles is just trying to blow shit up.
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.
He seemed like a great man, may he rest in peace 🙏
I feel your pain. Both of my parents are now gone. I miss them greatly.
I love you Americans. All the swag, excitement and crazy ideas that happen towards the Fourth of July is just so great! 😃
Come on over we'd be glad to have more people that are actually proud to be here
Yanky Enginuity!
@@RobertDickens2002agreed. I witnessed an insane amount of complaining about fireworks this year. It's sad.
@@goosenotmaverick1156
Ditto. It’s depressing for a guy who grew up being able to ride motorcycles without a helmet. Ride in pickup beds even on the freeways. Cruise 1st St USA back when ‘cruising’ was not illegal. Ahhhh the good ole days. Precious memories.
@@HotAsHellSeedCo that's cause scraping brains off the pavement is a little bad for cops and firemen etc. It's getting old.
"Hey man, you trying to light one up?" "WHAT??" That killed me
Then immediately after with the cheech n chong reference, “hows my driving?” “I think we’re parked man” 😂
Glad to see friends having a good time together. That's what life is all about.
friends? more like war buddies.
These guys never fail to impress me, their creativity is insane, they need to do a collab with Cboys or someone 🔥
yes
No collab there doing just fine
They got together with junkyard digs
There's definitely more improvement to be made lol
100 percent should do a collab with cboys.
Oh man, what a great episode. I'm still smiling. It was also great to see a bit of Charles' origin story. You guys are awesome. Thanks again and Happy (belated) 4th!
Yes. We need origin stories for all 3.
These episodes and ideas are great. Love this channel, it's like the original top gear but with mini bikes and gocarts and in America! 😎
Ike's face has a look of equal parts determination and fear .
Kudos to Isaac for taking the chance of driving the midget all the way and Chuck making a cameo appearance in the video. Charles is such a comedian when he's Chuck. Nice job Isaac and Charles.
That poor opel cries every time it sees you work on a project other than it 😂
Thank you guys for inspiring me I’ve been watching you for over a year now and I found a go kart for cheap and got it running keep up the amazing work.
9:20 Dale Jr documented the history of that NASCAR track in "Lost Speedways".
Flathead Briggs ! Most reliable lawn and garden implement motor ever made !
That sound from the twin 670 is so awesome with the look of this cart
Guy's should take this to power tour next year
the thumbnail is EPIC!! 'MURICA!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I like that when Ike hits the brakes the turn indicators light up.
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.
On a side note, Charle's "catch all" collection was awesome. I would love to have all those Briggs parts.
Almost like your mini-trail adventure. I'm still chuckling at your flight off the bridge. I think Ike truly enjoyed driving that go-kart 300 miles.
"Just because you can- doesn't mean you should!" Hmmm. That sounds like a new Cn'C motto!
The true underrated vehicle of the c&c fleet is the avalanche. it's been behind the scenes forever. It needs some custom awesomeness.
John’s Dad here. I bought the Avalanch in 2002. Searched for one for months before they were made available. I refer to it as the Alpha-lance as it was the first model produced. A few years a I found a 2013 Black Diamond edition. Because it was the last year of production, I call it the Omega- launch. Lots of good memories driving John’s around. Thank you for recognizing it’s value.
Wow, a historic speedway! Added to the places id like to visit 👍
dude i loved yall when it was just you and Ike..... but now you could not have a better 3rd person on the crew then ole Charles !!!!!! he just completes the channel
Owen Wilson is such a great dad. And a good asset to the team!!
Straight outta my November 1962 Popular Science magazine (page 203). Awesome!
Nice to see the OG C&C place again. Love the show guys, nice one 👏👍
That was awesome guys. Try to get chuck to join the team! Loved getting to know so much about Charles and his beautiful family
I respect Charles aka chuck. Seeing him with his son is real. That’s a true ass father. God bless Charles.
You need to put a lift kit on this King Midget!
And put
some mudders on it! 😉👍
part of that torque steering is do to it being one wheel drive instead of both rear tires speeding you up or slowing you down its one causing the whole car to shift on and off throttle
I'm thinking a 4 link suspension in the back and a rack and pinion up front, probably a live axle instead of the "One Wheel Peel" setup currently in use. Either way the Midget is a sweet little ride!
Y’all are dedicated there is no way in hell I would drive that thing that far. Whatever Isaac makes . It isn’t enough.
C90 and CarsAndCameras would make some HILARIOUS content!!
We just happened to be in Beaufort this week for vacation from Ohio! Caught the tail end of the parade and must have missed you guys. Disappointment of a lifetime haha!
Appreciate what y’all do, thanks for all the fun and entertainment over the years.
beautiful baby boy Charles, glad yall had a safe fun trip with your families. happy 4th.!
1:40 in, listen to that chop!...1:45 wait.. maybe it's not supposed to have that chop! .. "that one boot scoot and boogie"... lol
Lol what a road trip boys! Happy 4th!
The hitchhiking scene was epic! The old CaC HQ brings back memories of the $50 go kart! With John hitting kids in the face with candy and hoping the car was okay, Chuck hitchhiking and Ike eating the candy that fell in the seat, lots of laughs were ensured to come. Stay awesome!
Would love to see it with some performance mods in the engine
When they turbocharged the Predator 670 for their dragster, didn't they say they had another turbo kit? Sounds like just the thing! If I found a King Midget like that, not only would I turbo Predator 670 swap it, I'd update the lights, including a third brake light, not to mention the suspension and brakes with modern go-kart pieces!
Happy 4th of July guys! Thanks for another awesome adventure!
Same to you!
@@CarsandCameras CHANGE THAT REAR SPROCKET FOR HIGHER TOP END. NEVER GOING TO GET GOOD MILEAGE AT 3,800RPM!
Large quantities of chuckles, glad y'all stayed safe! Thanx l
For the ones like me who wandered what that race car was, the number 72 one is a 1955 Dodge La Femme. Which is super cool to see one as a race car because there wasn’t a lot of them they where only made for two years (55 & 56) and where also spasticity made for women, very cool to see exactly as a race car
Just from watching the video , I can tell yall drove past my neck of the woods 😊 Love the video's. Keep up the hard work .
Amazing how far you’ve came in this channel. Been watching you for 5 years plus.
Another great video Guys ❤️. This Old Man from Washington NC bets a lot of rest time needed afterwards 😅. Isaac love your socks 😍. Love you Guys 🛵🧔💝💝💝
That SHAKE and bake Tee-shirt sure does seem fitting when driving that rock tumbler down the road at speed! =)
EPIC Roadtrip! That's what a Roadtrip oughtta be!
This was a great video loved every second keep up the great job guys i bet yall had a good time after the vid was done.
I love the lil muscle sound on this thing
That ending was the perfect opportunity for some Joe Dirt firework references.
I can see a few mods would make that car so much more enjoyable, shocks, some louvers for cooling you and the engine for starters. 👍👍❤
Steering upgrades too
@@emiliopro700 For Sure! That thing was all over the road, scary.
Love these road trip episodes guys and loved seeing that old racetrack and the OG shop again...keep up the great work and content 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
I commute 80 miles a day to work and back. Gimme. Additionally, very very cool to feature the Occoneechee Speedway. I hope people never forget that track.
I hope you preserve such a classic American car. There are those who love these little cars. They are part of the International King Midget Owners Club.
Great video
Looks like a fun little car
You could add a steering stabilizer and make the front end a little less scary. 👍
i love it, keep up the good work guys
Haven’t watched for a while, your videos are way better! Good job guys!
This is by far my favorite video
Love the vids guys keep it up❤
See if you guys could add a 5 speed trans out of a dirtbike with that thing so you could get some better mpg and upgrade the suspension with some adjustable shocks
1. Proper tires
2. Rebuild the main drive. At least new seals but a good look over can't hurt.
3. Re do the steering to something not trying to kill you.
4. Replace/Upgrade the suspension so it again isn't trying to kill you.
5. Engine mods to give it more power
6. Larger sprocket on the main drive for a higher top speed so you can go proper highway speeds.
7. Find a way to better vent the engine compartment so it can keep things cool. Maybe it needs a fan somewhere to draw air in.
CVT's are nice but they require the motor to rev high where as when your cruising you want low RPM thus killing your MPG's maybe a new driveline is in order.
Great series I'd like to see more.
Absolutely loved every second of that- Thank you. That's some kind of fashion trend that Ike's trying to start! LOL! 😜🤪
Charles is more funny when he's not trying to be funny.
Charles is my spirit animal lol
Hope you got all your tools sorted dude,
Happy 4th from Southend on sea UK, one day might try and do a mini mayhem lol
You need some air scoops or vents to help keep the engine cool.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing 😊
No matter how things go, these three guys, John, Charles and Ike always make the best of it and have a great time!!!!!!!!!
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.
You guys and that King Midget are rocking..😁
The Top gear ending reference was well done.
Im very glad Charles was yalls savior that one time...cuz hes just as much one of the CnC crew as John now lol. Ike is the OG, no one compares.
Living yer best life!!!!; Just finished my chopper,stage 1 predictor!!! Stupid fast!!!!! I meant to build a cruiser and built a drag chop..... absolute death trap😂
“Just because you can doesn’t mean you should”. But you should definitely try 🤙.
I've been watching you guys since I was 12 years old. I'm now 20 and still dream of reaching your level of coolness
Charls brings more fun and happiness into the chanel. Keep the smile rolling 😂😋🤞🏼
Great video ,glad you all had fun.
And glad the little midget made it as well.
It literally ended on a bombshell. Missed opportunity.
Great episode though, entertaining as always.
There was a local young lady who drove a King to school daily. A crowd of young lads would gather at a collection of potholes at the entrance, and appreciate the lack of shocks while studying the effects on anatomy.
Moterbike Mike here, Dude the look on John's face was priceless when he started driving. Lol
That was awesome!! Cant imagine driving that little car 300 miles. However y'all did get robbed on them fireworks!!
Chuck stole the show! 😂😂😂
🤣I was watching with interest till 14; 00. I busted out laughing see you cruising on a busy roadway with full-sized cars and hearing the industrial exhaust made me think of the circus. It's way cool but that moment in time,..... was funny.
Was cool to see the OG headquarters been a minute since Ive seen that. That trip was Epic just like the Tail 70 Trips you guys have made soo cool!
yall should all get microcars and supe them up and take them to something similar to tail of the dragon. would be a super fun special to watch!
Here's a challenge for you guys, build a Cars and Camera next generation version of the King Midget
I'm actually quite impressed that the 670 made the trip pretty good from what I've noticed!
The intro played and I pictured Ike with his foot to the floor fighting to keep it on the road and Charles holding on for dear life yelling " help me!!" , parts fallin off, Ike casually says "when we find a good spot we should check it out....".LoL😅😂❤
Next mod: airbags? For the suspension, not your safety! 🤣
Too much to comment on, just awesome. This one goes into into my top 10 favorite episodes.
I saw y’all that day, wasn’t able to stop and say hello but it was awesome to see!
The look on ikes faces when they starts priceless 😂😂😂
.............."CHARLES".... LOL. Happy fourth of july boys, from down under!... top vid.
Y'all should've done a hot lap around your parent's place for old times' sake. Great job on this one!
I was thinking the same! I think it would make a lap time.
Thats got to be one of my favorite episodes! Good job boys!
It would be cool to put new suspension bushings and airbags on it. Make it comfy and being able to air down at a show would be baller.
Isaac you are my hero. The world needs more cars like this. Commuter cars that when pushed can be road tripped. I don’t understand why nobody has revived these absolute beauties.
Btw love the ragtop look, definitely a sweet touch. Honestly, I wish I had a micro car.
PS. Thanks for showing us around your child hood work space, one of the thing I have always liked and respected about this channel is your down to earth, home grown content that is wholesome and family friendly.
18:28 that up in smoke reference 😂
Loved it \all, my favorite was the straight line winds and fireworks shooting two feet in the air!!!
Wow, sustained 55 MPH. They old guys that built them would be amazed!
What an awesome video. Loved it all, makes me want to go to the US for fourth of July before you use all that freedom up. Thanks so much for taking us on your epic road trip and welcoming us into your lives and this special celebration. 🏁
