Oh my...

I hope everyone is OK!

He wasn't drivin it & it rolled?

Where'd you get those hood vents? Is the rest of the roof tweaked or just the windshield area? I'm all for a chop job

JUNK DRIVER · 04-01-08, 09:27 AM

Yes, He let Chris Lawsons girlfriend Trish drive. It was this past Saturday night @ Shoe Creek. They were just messing around on a little hillclimb shortly after you come in and She got in to a bad postion and they new it was going over but had no time to correct. Trish, Chris and another girl were in the car when it flipped. It ended up on its top for about an hour before they could get it back over. No winch!!

Luckily everyone was alright. Chris suffered a scrape on his face. And Trish had a bruised knee. The girl in the back seat escaped without injury.

Keep you eyes open for a replacement body or complete 55 for Chris.

Glad no one was seriously hurt.

Nice to see the A pillars held the weight of the 55.

Brother Burl has a 55 that could be a donor.

bkfj40 · 04-02-08, 02:08 PM

do you need to be shirtless when you drive it?

This is the short steep hill right next to the camping area at Shoe Creek I bet. That stupid hill has flipped so many trucks over the years. Not enough red clay on the 55 to have flipped on the other one. Bummer. Time to chop the top and make it a convertible. Glad to hear everyone is OK and that Lawson is wheeling again.
