I started building my track roadster in 2007 and joined this site in 2008. I went "gung ho" for the first couple of years and then let the project lurch to a stop when I started spending all my time building and racing Electrathon cars. Now that I'm retired and have completed the big items on a lengthy "honey-do" list, I'm ready to get back to work on the roadster. Here are a few pics of it as it came together so far. The body is one of the last bodies built by Dave Koorey. It has a 6 inch extended cowl and came with a reinforced floor & tunnel. The nose is a copy of a Speedway Motors nose with a Speedway grille and the hood is home made (steel). The louvers (52 in each hood side) were punched by Ron Ennis in Bargersville, Indiana. Ron took me for my first ride in a hotrod (a T roadster which he still owns and drives) in 1961. There has been a continuous string of hotrods and race cars in my life since then, but this is my first T-bucket.
