    Man... I don't recognize it off hand, but holy hell it looks well made. So much so, that someone has to know it's history - right?

    I saw that as well! TONS of different shapes going on there. Someone really knew what they were doing, or did by the time it was done.

    It reminds me a little of the wicked track nose Zac Suhr built in that it’s wide at the bottom and covers the frame rails etc. more like an Indy car than a local dirt car. But I don’t think I’ve ever seen this actual set up before.

    Really cool piece!

    Agreed on the nose looking quite familiar though I can't place it either. The flow of the grille into the fairing and hoodline is spot on. Hopefully we will see rolling down the road soon.

    Maybe the remnants of the script lettering on top of the nose is a good clue?

    ‘Saylor’?
    Depending on who bought it, it may end up on the street, but my gut tells me that it was originally made for a race car.

    I have no input, other than that I love these things, always wanted to be the guy that built them.
