The builder did a really good job.
These are 70's era gassers w/out tube or beam axles. There's a Vega behind the flag poles.

I can't help you with Crower parts, but I do have a complete set of nos Schiefer roller tappets. They fit all early Hemi engines.
The black '55 Chevy is another incarnation of Jim Zakias car.
