Hot Rods The "KOSMIKART" 60's inspired Show car

I would think a '41 frame would be a little too big.

 

This is gonna be awesome Joe, should I get out the saw and we can make a matched set?

 

Oh yeah, I am gonna enjoy this one! I like the idea of the imperial headlights for taillights! Count me in as subscribed

 

The frame is going to be trimmed here and there but as far as being to wide it isn't because I am trying to get some more room in the ****pit area.

 

I always seem to catch these posts months after they started. I'm glad I saw this today and I can enjoy the build from the beginning and not try to play catch up with 20 pages in one day. Go man go and I hope the KosmiKart sticks.

 

Thanks Triggerman, and I think "Kosmikart" is staying with it being we googled it and it does not appear to be being used.

 

Love the concept and mock up. Have you looked at a 1960 Buick front fenders to form the front nose cone?

 

Oh yeah anyone have any tail light suggestions I am thinking about using 60 Buick's

 

JimmyB that is funny we posted the same time........lol........about that same car but different ends

 

It sure is being used,
By some Guy building a 60s inspired show rod on something called the H.AM.B.
Whatever the hell that is. Haha good luck on your build

Here's another suggestion on the name too Joe, why not go with Kosmic-Art? Just like all of your sculptures,it's bound to be art in it's own right too! Crazy body lines to do a wild fogged panel paint job too, bet Norwell could vision up a few crazy ideas for you as well.....

 

Well here's a thought, how about '58-'60 Thunderbird tailights? There are six to choose from.

 

Your first sketch made me think of '59 Caddy front bumper marker lights stood on end for head lights. are you going to be able to put you and your son under that bubble?

 

Actually the car is going to be a little bit wider than I had first thought about it. The bubble opening will be 54" it should have plent of room in it if things go as planned.

 

1959 Impala, vertically, like tear drops

 

We're going to need regular updates on this one.............you know........as in DAILY!!! Have you got Plowboy on staff yet?

Frank

 

Yeah Buddy, I thought about them but I am in need of something round that will fit in the 61 Imperial headlight housings being I plan to use them as my taillights now

 

You think he will know what I am doing

 

I will do my best to update you guys and as for Plowboy I have picked at his brain a few times but I am not sure if he has seen this thread yet,,,,,,,,,,

 

haha, yeah great minds think alike, '60 Buicks are cool cars and have some great design elements. Those '60 Buick tail lights look awesome

Another alternative are Australian Ford Falcons '60-67, there are few different designs and they are smaller diameter to the Thunderbird lights

formed lexan tail lights?


i like where this is going so far... look forward to updates on this

 

will keep an eye on this one.

 

This is gonna be a great build, i love the concept.

 

Ok this is where I am at thinking of course.......I want this car to be semi cmfy so I am thinking of not narrowing it rather I will lay it over the rear allowing for more interior room and allowing to have a skirted effect over the top of the rear wheels. In the pick I have a 40 Ford rear with 10" wide tires and this is where the Caddy deck lid is as far as width on the rear.

The Sketch that I have here is a thought of using the 61 Imperial lights mounted in the cowl area . I have to see how wide they are when they are sitting side by side. Anyway thought are always welcome and appreciated..........Oh yeah the 41 in the pic is available if any one needs one

 

here's a grille that might work with the 60 Buick front fenders...
62 New Yorker

 

I would suggest you find someone that can make the bubble, Roth spent a lot of time
just making a mold so a gl*** company could form the gl***. Instead of the supercharger go with 6 strombergs with the new "injector" tops and 6" stacks.
