We got an early 2000's Ellis frame kit and we had to alter the diagonal by the LF to make room for the bike motor. Depending on the chassis, you may need to cut some other pieces as well. Of course, you'll probably have to weld on tabs for different things (radiator, chain guard, etc.), but it is most definitely doable! We've got a fourteen year old chassis and a nine year old motor and still made the top ten at Montpelier a couple weeks ago. You don't need the latest and greatest; just make up for it with hard work.

Oh, also, one of the reasons we went the midget frame route was the tubing. We like having the big tubing for going to the bigger tracks. The old gal will really haul the mail and its good to not be concerned about safety in that sense. Something to keep in mind.

Hope you get something together and we'll see you at the track!
