after building Steves camaro, John Rice built an all 'glass 55 chevy to compete in Top Sportsman. he built this car for specifically one purpose. to beat Rob Vandergriff in the '57 chevy Thundercraft.............John was into everything from an alcohol dragster to a '55 chevy 9 sec. street car to turbo nitroused bikes. he died tragically in a street race on his motorcycle.

here are some of his toys......

alcohol dragster



turbo/n2o drag bike



this is Steve taking apart the motor we bought for my 57. John also is the one who narrowed the 57........
