The racing special was given a tubular frame and fitted with the drivetain of the Austin Healey. Modifications were made by Huffaker to the engine making it better suited for the competitive D-Modified class in which it would race until 1958. The rear suspension was a deDion setup with modifications by Huffaker. There were inboard drum brakes used to keep the car in the drivers control. The car was then clothed in a lightweight and hand-formed aluminum body with an overall weight of just 1800 pounds. The project took just five months to complete.
Huffaker would continue building and preparing racing cars for a number of racing series including Trans-Am, Sports-Racing, Indy Racers, and even formula cars.
