    Build style looks the same and if it is one these two it shouldn't be to hard to copy. Doesn't look like there moving the rearend forward.

    Its the black one. Tom Culbertson done the chassis and suspension on both cars. The red one belongs to Tom & Doug Wise (brothers in our club), They've had it for 20+ years. After many people wanting to purchase their car, the brothers decided to build another one similar to it to sell. They sold it to a guy whom never got the car out for the past two years, thats who mom (RunaroundSue) got the car from. The brothers are some hardcore drag racers so both cars not only have got the look, but they get with the program as well. The Black car has a SBC backed with a Muncie, Line lock, NOS, 4:11's with a spool, Hurst V-Gate in line shifter and many more. Right now, I have taken the old painted lettering off from the previous owner, started sanding & buffing the car to make the paint look better, and a few more things to get it ready for Indy GoodGuys this weekend. Afterwards, there are more plans for it.
    I'm sure she will post more pics up soon.

    A couple more pics... Ironically one of them showing the '55 snuggled up to Dustin's car!

    Also somewhat ironic, a "For Sale" sign in the rear license frame...

    Thanks Bob! Glad to see a couple more pics that I haven't seen before. As far as the "for sale"...yes, that's the same time I tried to buy it the first time it was for sale. :rolleyes:

    Are you coming down for any of the GG activities?

    Above comments worthless without posted pics!!!


    Not sure if we will make GG this year. Have a couple of irons in the fire that are keeping me a little too busy.

    Will likely make the Rumble though, at least on Saturday.

    Yeah, we'll be around the Adams Mark late friday night and saturday night. Saturday night, we'll primarily be at Culbertson's Shop on Lyndhurst Drive. He has his annual open house every year... You're all welcome to come by if you're in the area.
