On this episode of HOT ROD Unlimited, we take you behind the scenes of the buildup of the car that was named America's Most Beautiful Roadster for 2012 at the Grand National Roadster Show. The Indy Speedster is an amazingly detailed, hand fabricated track roadster that was a project of Jackie Howerton's for well over a decade before he sold it to Bill Lindig who had the car finished by So-Cal Speed Shop. In the video, we get the inside view from So-Cal's Pete Chapouris and Jimmy Shine.

My great grandfather is Bill Niekamp(first winner of this award) and I grew up hearing stories of this roadster being build in his garage, and seeing pictures of it, and to see a roadster like this built really takes me back to my childhood. Beautiful roadster.
