Title: Help Needed: Create a 3D CAD Model of a Vintage Virage Kart
Hello GrabCAD community,
I’m part of a nonprofit called Racing Dreamz, and we’re trying to rebuild the Virage go-kart chassis for motor-sport therapy programs. We have old photos, specs, ads, but no CAD model or physical chassis to scan right now.
We’re seeking someone who could take our photos + spec sheet and create a 3D CAD model (e.g. STEP or IGES) so that we can generate fabrication drawings and eventually build replacement chassis that are lighter, with a 300cc engine.
If anyone is interested in volunteering, contracting, or collaborating, your help would mean a lot. I’ll happily credit your work.
Thanks,
Ben (Racing Dreamz)

Happy to help, I'm an old geezer with many years of wisdom. I designed a gyrocopter for a guy a few years back from some sketch diagrams and pictures.
I am happy to help you, i also do daily design work(3D Modeling on Solidworks) as much complex as i can do. you can mail me if intrested.
hanks, Deepak — really appreciate your offer. Another designer is looking at one of our projects, but we have a second chassis (called the Extreme Mountain Kart, or EMK) that we’d like CAD modeled. Please email me at ben [at] racingdreamz [dot] org and I’ll send you images, specs, and details for that project.
It's greatfull to get your responce. Ok i am going to mail you for this. Thanks!
Hello Ben,
I am very interested in collaborating with Racing Dreamz to create the 3D CAD model of the vintage Virage kart chassis. With 21 years of experience as a design draftsman in Morocco, I have the skills to transform your photos and specifications into detailed CAD models (STEP or IGES) suitable for manufacturing.
I will email you shortly to discuss the project details and how we can work together, whether through volunteering or a formal contract. Looking forward to helping bring this meaningful project to life.
Best regards,
Na karma
Thank you, Mike. We've already covered these areas. They are exact replica's by any means. Our own designs. Both chassis, body and engine. The Virage is a 'guiding' point. We appreciate the concern, sir. :)
I am very interested. I have previously modeled engineering equipment using images. I think this is a very challenging project. If you need any assistance, please contact me at 1553487041@qq.com or liuhubao905@outlook.com.
I'd be happy to help you with this or future projects, check out my portfolio...the firetruck panel that is shown, was completely created from 1 image...so having specs and drawings would be a blessing.
Thanks.
