Yes,they narrow up one side,so the center section is offset to the right.

I looked at going that way for a while with the lakester, but abandoned the idea due to the few rearend ratios that would be good for B'ville.  They do have one kind of super speedway type gear made special for them that is about a 2.50.  That would have been pretty good, but the next gear was about a 3.20 something if I remember right, so there wasn't anything in between.

Here are  some links to parts and such:

Also search for dwarf cars, micro and mini sprints for options:

What are you working on now?  The Crosley for b'ville :D  :D ??
