Some of you will poo-poo the wing, but between the 21 numbered cars and it being throw back thursday, here's my Dad in about 1978 at Warsaw Speedway. I made the wing myself at 14 years of age and, and believe it or not, I have this car in my shop right now.

That's pretty cool Tom! Are you restoring your dad's old car? Oh and that's a pretty neat wing design too.

Yes, I am. It's a 1968 Nance car with a Buick Nailhead motor. LaVerne Nance told me it was one of the first true sprint cars he built. If you look close, it has a bolt on roll cage. My dad sold it in the early 80's and about 10 years later my brother found it in a junk yard south of here. I've been trying to find the correct parts ever since. Dad was a Frankland rear end dealer back in the late 60's and the real challange has been been finding the correct rear end.
This is the first race car I really got to work on (more then just chase tools) and in honor of my dad, I want it to be right. Right engine, right brakes, right wheels and of course the right rear end. I've got almost everything except the rear end and the injection for the Buick.
