Your Kellison reminds me of the Devin SS. Quite a while back I had a buddy in Florida with one that was at about the same stage as yours. I don't know if he ever finished it. If I had more time I would like to build a Kellison or Devin - super light with an LS and sophisticated suspension/brakes. My brother came pretty close with his Jag, but I think the Kellison could be even lighter.

Edit: This link may have a few ideas that could help. It is a Devin that was on Bring-a-trailer a few years ago. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1958-devin-ss-bodied-racer/

I think the Kellison will weigh in at about 1800 to 1900 lbs. Im thinking of building new bodys when this body is ready for paint use it as a plug for new molds. The Jag looks great

Found this set of Halibrand style knock off wheels for the Kellison project yes there the style they use on Cobra cars but they will look great on the Kellison roadster
