This is our newest project. The 55 is DONE!!! So we needed something to do !!

UPDATE...UPDATE. The Framework is done. The body is on the frame and its off to the body shop.

We are trying to make the 2005 Power tour so the 55 will have a friend!!

We are done with the engine. Bored .030 over, 9.5 to 1 compression, comp cam. Should make about 375HP and over 500 ft lbs of torque. Yeah...thats what i'm talking about. Can you say "I need two rear tires!!"
