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

Well it has been a long time coming and I have parts for it all over the place so I thought being my 4 boy's have been driving me nuts about it and the eldest of the four came up with the name I had better get busy and take a shot at building this damn thing.
I only hope that I do not let them down and that I create a truly bad ass 60,s inspired Show Rod that many will enjoy.

I present the makings of the "KOSMIKART" brought to you here on the HAMB first.

This is the rough sketch that started it all for me. So being it is on paper nothing is set in stone yet I am sure it will be a learn as you go process. Any help or info would be wonderful

 

Wasn't that name used already?

 

Do I see a cease and desist order in Italian in your future? : - )

 

Is it gonna be a go-kart?

Well I do not want any leagal issues so I can loose the K and call it the "Cosmic Cart"

 

Only a toy store, and in England, but they got there first:

Ok I searched the Web some more and well "Kosmikart" maybe available but if not then I will worry about a name later.

 

Kosmonaut Kart is close and not taken as far as I can find.

 

Who CARES what it's called? BUILD IT! I wanna see steel (or glass or ... )!!

 

I am going to build it and the mock up will begin when I get back home today . The name is important to me because my of son. He is 10 yrs old and is developing a passion for this stuff and if I can use the name he suggested than I wouyld love to. The nice thing about the HAMB is the knowledge and helping hand that many offer to each other. So I am trying to full fill this for my son more than anyone else. I think from researching some the we will be safe with "KOSMIKART" I hope for his sake.........lol....anyway it is not that serious and I will post the mock up stage later stay tuned.

 

Is it later yet?

I want to see the mockup!

 

Well it is not fancy yet but here is an idea.......41 Ford frame......61 Cadillac quarters

 

subscribing to this one!

 

Joe, I love this concept!

What are you going with for the mill? I vote for early Caddy, Nailhead, or Y-Block, with lakester exhaust!

 

Well I would love an early Caddy but at the moment I have a 283 with a powerglide out of a 1964 Nova. The plan is to have a 671 on it if I go with that set up

 

This is gonna be fun!

 

That would be cool too!

Can't wait to see this unfold......

 

Looking forward to see this one come along!

 

Here we GO!

Very Joe Cruce Which is GOOD!, been wanting to build like this for while, Gonna keep watching for this

 

Looks like a cool start, looking forward to seeing it come together.

 

Keep going.

 

Thanks evryone I cut down an original 61 Cad grille I think I may use it but not sure how I like it yet. Anyway we will see the i61 Imperial lights I have are bigger than I remembered ........ugh

 

Can´t wait to see this!

Ok I have been thinking of how I really want this thing to look. I have decided to let the quarter panels over hang the tires pretty much like the Road Agent and the Futurian do. Although I I sketched up an idea for the side profile and I will post pics later

 

Well some more rough sketch ideas. Being I have them I thought I should utilize my Imperial Headlights and turn them into tail lights

 

I think there are a lot of possibilities for using the Imperial headlights as headlights! That car wants its headlights in places you don't expect. Have you had any ideas?

 

Really cool idea. Sub'd.
