I was backtracking through the archives and found an early Kurtis chassis, and though it isn't quite a LoCost, it is interesting. Years ago, when I first thought of building a car, The Kurtis Kraft roadster was what caught my eye. I believe the Locost to be a derivative of that look and feel, albeit parallel evolution.. What Colin Chapman was doing in England was being done by hotrodders on the west coast.. either way, interesting to peruse.
