I am going to build a few Kurtis Kraft midget models. Trouble is the kit only has the main frame rails. I need a couple photos showing all the rails. All help is greatly appreciated.

here's the only 1 I could find so far-when the Edelbrock car was restored (Notice the Casale 2-speed rear end)



Lots of reference pics here:

Gordon White from Virginia who has written books on Kurtis and Offenhauser may be able to supply an drawing of a Kurtis Chassis with measurements. I have seen these drawings. Another possibility is Jim Etter in Pittsburgh PA.

I gave him pictures a while ago. The frame I took pictures of is now fully restored as the Bignotti/Sweikert 7x.

Not sure if you are interested, but thought I would mention it. I have several parts from a 60's vintage Kurtis Kraft copy midget. All would be for sale.

Chris, I thought I read somewhere, oh, a couple years ago, that some relative of Frank's, was thinking about building a few, any truth to that, or are you going to supply the rest of the pcs? Bob
