I just had to Share this, My dad was a member of one of the top Sprint car / Silver Crown teams in the country.
He finished this ground up, hand built Indy Replica and just got it street legal. So if any of you in West central Indiana see it zipping down the road, give him a honk and a wave.

 

Very nice looking.

 

hey, I'm not west central but that looks great....does he live in the Terre Haute area....silver crown territory...

 

hello
He is west a bit of Crawfordsville

 

The replica looks pretty cool. Sure would like to read more info about it.
What type of engine?
Where's the head lights, turn signals, brake lights?
A nice set of "Halibrand" replica wheels would really finish it off, IMO.
Thanks for posting.

 

I really dont know all the specifics,
The motor is a 4 cyl from a Nissan Truck, some engine that had 2 plugs per cyl. He had his engine shop in Indy do a mild performance build on it. Balanced, blueprinted, ported , etc. Its really smooth. He has the headlights
hidden behind the grill and the turn sigs are small motorcycle units mounted on top of the shock towers, 3rd brake light behind the roll bar.

 

Thanks Wilson, I had a Nissan 200SX that had the same engine back in the early 80's.
I just thought maybe he had a "twin-cam" Mazda Miata in it, to pay homage to the "OFFY".
