This project requires a body design to meet the racing lines of the 60's. A search for similar existing karts found Steve Vinson in the USA and his sharknose Ferrari. I purchased a set of his plans and this kart will be based around his dimension. I recommend Steve's You Tube instructional videos and Etsy page as a great source of information. I have adopted the original BT19 ratios to suit the resulting frame dimensions.
The intention will be to use an aluminium frame internally with a minimal steel subframe, This will be for two reasons:
1) to keep weight to a minimum, and
2) my welding skills are less than adequate.
Once the chassis is complete i will add a fiberglass body over the top.
