Ernie Adams grew up near a dump in a small town. He started bolting motors on bicycles when he was 11 and never stopped salvaging and building things his own way. He started recycling junk from the dump and turning them into his own fully functional driving dwarf cars. Most are around 46″ high and Ernie even makes his own dies and machining tools to make the tiny cars. The 6 cars Ernie has build are now housed in their own museum in Maricopa, Arizona.
