Duke Cook ran a Nance like this but it was prior to 1982.Now i'm thinking this frame could be from Missouri or Illinois in addition to Indiana even though it was picked up in southern indiana.So I'm hoping someone from the different states may see this post and recognize the frame. I appreciate everyones responses and input. Sometime you never do establish the origin of a car but I can't quit yet...
Thinking back to guys who ran with Thurman in 1982, the Springfield guys such as Tommy Scott had a Nance with those bars on the cage, Rick Standridge and Rick Pennel also ran Nances during the early 1980's. I would look into that circle of racers for clues.
