One of the initiators for Formula Vee racing in Europe was Porsche ...
Formula Vee racing is still the biggest racing class in the USA today. In september 2010 I got a chassis plan from a friend. George Jeffrey racing cars (GB) sold a chassisplan for a Formula Vee in the sixties. I got the plans from him but they were not complete.
So I build a replica JX Formula Vee 1300 single carburettor according the European 1966 regulations and iit is nearly finished. Meet my RJ-JX 065-001:

Wow that is awesome! Do you have any shots of the spaceframe? Would be interested to look over the design!

First demo sessions, events and trackdays to test it.
After that maybe Historic Formula Vee races.

Can I ask where you got hold of the plans? Is the body off a Jeffrey too, or adapted from something else?

My pal has a Jeffrey J4 (Lotus 7 style car)

I only had a not complete nearly not readible plan of the top view of the chassis. Made everything myself including the body.
Old style "one off" body building. Made an wooden frame glued thin wooden hardboard strokes on it, plastered it, painted it, an put the glassfiber on it. After that cut the bodyparts and removed the inner mould.

Nice work! here's how I tackled the body of a previous project:

Would have offered you a 'plans swap' for a set for a late '60s / early '70s gearbox Kart for your next project!
