Here is the picture Looks like Kent Fuller built it for Tony Nancy It is called a 'Drag Racing Roadster Chassis

Hi Actually disregard. Just got off the phone with them and they are dealing with it themselves. Sorry about that. We did not give details to avoid making it a 'For Sale' post. We were trying to help them. Really hit it off with one person there but whatever. They will survive...
