I figured I would post this, because I have never seen one built...this Jorgenson body was bought on line, and included wheels, tires, and rudimentary suspension...also, the engine bay was open...a 10+ year build...
The beginning: had to figure out the nose...
engine...

As it appeared in early May 1946...
And the engine installed...
On race morning, it appeared with all this tape...I guess it was to make the car easy to pick out in a crowd...
Robson would lose his life in September of '46 at a dirt race in Georgia that also took the life of George Barringer...
This shows the unusual offset to the rear suspension...
It fought me all the way...no drawings ...but I finished another unusual Indy winner...the last SUPERcharged car to win (now they use turbocharging)...
Comments, questions welcome...
