Introduction / Overview:
This chassis has been racing at drag strips around Colorado since the early 50's. It was known as "The Bell Plumbing Roadster" in the those days.
It lost its original roadster body in the 70's & a 29 A body was substituted along the way.
As a tribute to the original car, it sports the numbers that it had for a national drag meet at Lowry AFB, in 1955. The "T" stands for it's club affiliation with the Denver Timing Association. The "RB" was the class it ran in back then (Roadster B Class).
