1/8 Scale Watson Indy Roadster
After a ton of research I'm now building an 1/8 scale A. J. Watson Indy roadster from 63. Here's the Offy 255 cu. in. motor and the body buck that will be covered with fiberglass.

Re: 1/8 Scale Watson Indy Roadster
Here is my 1/1 scale Watson roadster version of the same car Old Sprinter is building..... Unfortunately, unlike Old Sprinter, I couldn't afford an OFFY so I had to use an Alfa Romeo engine instead.

Re: 1/8 Scale Watson Indy Roadster
Thanks Mitch. Mac Miller knows more about these cars than anyone I know. He helped me get this project started. I think Mac could build one of these in his sleep. Thank you Mr. Miller for you help.
