The Martin Indy Special is, well, special. Not only because it isn’t some bolt together simple project, but also because of the way it has been built. While the look is traditional, the spirit is something more. This is a collaboration of thoughts, technology, history, and emotion, and in the video below you’ll see the first part of this project come together with this great documentary video. I’d tell you more, but watch it yourself. It’s worth the wait.
Video Description:
In this 27-minute short documentary, we take you inside the creation of the Martin Indy Special hot rod, a build where new technology meets old-world craftsmanship. It’s a rare look at how modern tools, innovative thinking, and traditional hot rod values can coexist to create something timeless.
Spearheaded by third-generation architect David C. Martin, this project brings together a cast of skilled builders, fabricators, and creative minds, each leaving their mark on the car. What you’re watching is nearly a full year of progress, decisions, and breakthroughs, carefully condensed into a focused cinematic story.
This is Part 1 of the journey.
Part 1 sets the foundation, introduces the people behind the build, and establishes the vision for what the Martin Indy Special is becoming. It’s an intimate introduction to the process, the philosophy, and the passion driving the project forward.
If you appreciate craftsmanship, storytelling, and the evolution of hot rod culture, this film is for you. Part 2 is coming soon!
