Who has a Gasser style car ? Stand up and be counted !

My brother and I found our dads old B/Gas '56 chevy on ebay in '04
We're in the process of retoring it back to its heyday configuration from '66-'67. The black & white photo is the '63 Smokers Meet in
Bakersfield as a C/Gasser against Hugh Tuckers roadster during eliminations for"Little Eliminator". The color photo is from the ebay add when we found it in Celeste, Tx. We have one other photo from San Fernando approx '65-'67. I'll post it as soon as I figure how too.
Any pics would be greatly appreciated. Ric.

 

Perfect!!!!!!!!, great find!

 

My buddy Bill's '55 X-Lions record holder gasser - got a great writeup in the latest Hot Rod Deluxe mag!!!

 

They were raised for weight transfer, 24" from the ground to the center of the crankshaft was the maximum allowed....

new here and i would have to say that this is a great place. i have never been on a site with so many people that have so many old race cars. heres mine

 

BE sure and keep us posted on your progress!

 

You got it!

 

I altered the front wheel base on my Comet thought I'd post shots.

 

Me got one toooooo........

 

This one rocks!!!!!!

 

That Blair's '55 is one of my all-time favorite 55s and it has Lions track time too.

 

Here's my neighbor's car from the late '60's early '70's. Mike Daly, who still owns & runs Daly's machine in Omaha, Ne. That car has Great stance & ran pretty good too.

 

My neighbor's '55 from long, long ago inspired me to build a Gasser so here's the start. I'm 3 months in from having nothing, to this. I hope to have it done by spring '09

 

here`s a pic of eddie flora`s prefect locomotion.

 

car is from texas, here's another...

 

namesake, that is one sweet '55!

 

YEAH!!!!!! NICE Comet, and the 2 '55s on this page are beautiful...

 

That is just bad....Can't wait to see it done!

 

Here's mine form one of the first passes at Irwindale late 69 i think. Didn't even have glass yet. But the Hilborn Injected BBC and 4 speed were a Handful! The car later held the B/Gas record at Irwindale. Getting ready to run the car again, will post pics when it's ready to roll out. Shown the pic elsewhere but what the heck

 

Just got mine able to run down the street and back. Can't wait to get it strip worthy!

They look killer

 

Neither of these cars were raced, both were street cars.
The one on the left is a Hillman station wagon, 427" Ford/ C6 auto.
The Anglia had a small block Dodge, Torqueflite
I bought the Anglia for $15 from a lady who had it stored in her garage. I spotted it on my paper route one day. Bob Hines built it up as a street gasser.
Dale Giese built the Hillman.
Both looked awesome going down the freeway together.
I took this photo in Newport Beach, CA., June 1968

 

Jim Adcocks 376 cubic inch Chevelle. Needless to say this was a losing run. Great shot though

 

That Hillman wagon had to be scary-fast!!

 

Here's two more of the Anglia pictured on post #891...

 

Maybe one of you Gasser Guys can help me out ? I have been searching for a old picture of my car. It was raced in B/Gas back in the late 60's from what I have heard. Here is the oldest picture I have of it. This picture is from the early 80's im guessing????

 

And just to show you Im a team player, I will add a gasser picture I got from my buddy Steve. Its from Sioux City Dragway.

 

I'm close to having one.

 

this didn't become mark weiss's (header guy) car did it...? not too many running around with 18" 12 spokes.... brandon
