On this one I took a Carousel 1 Kurtis Kraft, disassembled & stripped it. This particular Kurtis Kraft had modified body work and looked nothing like the others running in the event. The nose cone and hoods were one piece on this car so that is what I had to recreate. I removed the hood hinge and bonded the hoods to the nose. Then lots of filler. I relocated the fuel filler from the tail piece hump onto the flat portion of the tail and scratch built the exhaust. All the decals are mine except for the contingency decals from Indycals.
In the 1955 race, Pat Flaherty finished a respectable 10th place at the Indy 500 but would later finish 1st in the Milwaukee race in this car.
