    I am in the process of purchasing what I am being told it is a 27 tbucket. The tub is black in color as I have seen on California Customs website. Also the steering box is located back toward the tub not lile I have seen on Speedway Motors. I have post a few pictures to help with my dilemma.

    I recognize that car; it used to belong to one of our members who lived in Houston and passed away not long ago. I believe the body and frame came from our sponsor, RPM (see top of page). Check this out . . .

    That pretty much covers it! Talk about documentation!

    Looks like a 1915 body with the rear as high past the sides.

    I believe that is Dahlia !

    That was a CCR body and one of our frames, and rear suspension. The front suspension came from Speedway.

    Does anyone know of anyone that can supply a turtle deck or 20" bed that will fit a CCR tub? CCR has lost its fiberglass supplier and is in the process of getting molds made and finding another supplier. Kinda at a standstill until I can get a bed put on to finish some wiring. Any help would be most appreciated.

    Take a look at spiritcars.com. They make both. Not sure if they will fit your bucket, but worth a shot.

    You can make any thing with fiberglass. Try it you might be surprised.
