As the Machine Sit Today!

All the F500 machine I looked at on the net where highly modified with modern hoods lighter materials and they all looked great!! I decided to go that route. Here is a picture of my machine as it sits today still in the build stage after thousands spent (still no racing under my belt)

I decided at this point that goal was to race being competitive will come later I changed my mind set at went back to the basics. I kept an eye out for Indy 500 rolling chassis and one came up on the buy and sells. It was an 1990 model. I picked it up for $200.00 the motor was blown but the clutches where all there and the hood and belly pan where in great shape. I plan on taking all the race items off the 89 and installing them on the 90. Remember don't fall into the trap I did and spend all your time and money building, get out there and race the rest will come. This is where I will start the transformation of the 90 into my race sled.
