The other cars I made using this drawing are #5 (scaled down to 1/8th scale or 9" wheelbase). The larger plan is about 1/6th scale and was used to make the following cars: #2, #6, #8,#24,

#26 - each one of these is a different modification of the plans, but they all sprung from these plans.

Originally the frame was made of oak and most of the smaller detail is made of brass. I like this car so much I made a fiberglass mold for the body and nose.

I used this body to make a two-part body mold. I made another one-part mold for the nose. Some later cars use aluminum for wheels and engine parts. Go to your hobby shop and see what they have that you can use. I also get a lot of metal from the

local junk yard. I'm lucky that one of my junk yards stocks a lot of scrap metal. Sometimes they even have tires and other finds including jigs, hand tools and all kinds of neat stuff.

The Kurtzman name came from the sign company I used to paint the graphics. I recommend you find someone with this

talent. I moved several years ago and found another talented sign shop that can make vinyl graphics or can hand paint. You can also find printed dry transfer graphics and various decals, or try to hand paint what you want. I'm not that talented so I

found another way to get the job done.
