Kurtis in CT
 

New member here. Sean in Connecticut (amateur fabricator) Building a Kurtis replica of sorts. The theme is "my great uncle commissioned Frank Kurtis to build a car for the 1955 Carrera Panamericana based on the 1950s indy roadsters" It is going to look vintage but have a modern drivetrain, 2 seats and hopefully enough trunk space for 2 sets of golf clubs

I built a chassis using a pontiac solstice as a donor for the engine/trans/rear/spindles/steering rack. I added a supercharger so it should be about 250+ hp at the rear wheels.

I just brought the chassis to Wray's shop where we are going to build the body.

Hi Sean welcome to the forum

hey Sean, just joined the group and from CT as well. Going to be taking Wrays class some time this year...

Welcome to the forum, Sean.

Frank - Wrays class is excellent. Learn a lot plus meet similar minded people. Finished most of my wireform, started shaping the nose panels, plus built a hammer form for the grill opening.
