From custom fabrication, restoration, partial to full builds on hot rods, classic cars, vintage exotics, pro-touring, and classic trucks, the goal at Legacy Motorsports is to provide our customers with their dream ride and build experience.

Our roots

Legacy Motorsports was founded by Bobby Williams, who grew up on the west side of Indianapolis with the Indy 500 as a family tradition. Bobby saw a gap in Hendricks County for shops willing and able to work on vintage cars, and he built Legacy to fill it. Among his first hires was David Brandgard, a fellow car enthusiast with a background Bobby knew would be a perfect fit for the shop.

Today, Bobby’s connection to Legacy is as the owner of the shop’s building. He isn’t involved in daily operations.

David Brandgard, Owner

David joined the Army while still in high school, planning to make it a career. He served as a helicopter engine mechanic, earned his A&P Aviation Maintenance Technology certification, and retired from the Army in 2012. After his service, he attended Lincoln Tech for both automotive maintenance technology and auto collision repair.

David then worked with Raymond’s Alignment and Raymond’s Performance, where he gained hands-on experience with performance upgrades and converting street cars into race and track cars. He went on to start his own detailing business and began taking on restoration and replica builds.

When Bobby asked David to come help at Legacy for two weeks in May 2020, he never left. Six years later, David is now the owner of Legacy Motorsports.

Our team

Riley, Shop Foreman — Riley has been with Legacy since the early days and now leads the shop floor.

Christy Brandgard — Christy is David’s wife and handles the shop’s administrative work. She runs the day-to-day business — as David puts it, he may be the owner, but she’s the boss.

What we do

David has combined his previous businesses with Legacy’s established reputation, and the shop now offers a wider range of services than ever. Legacy still does what it has always been known for: restoration, hot rods, and replica builds. All client vehicles are stored indoors, and the team is proficient with carburetors and fuel-injected carburetor installations, skills that have become hard to find.

Under David’s ownership, Legacy has expanded into performance work on newer vehicles and is building out the shop’s capability for maintaining and building customer track cars.

Legacy maintains a strong relationship with Raymond’s Alignment, where all alignment work is handled by the team that has supported Legacy’s builds for years.
