Anyone ever built a gasser?

Hey guys, my brother and I are working on a buddies front end. We're putting in my dropped I-beam and Im just wondering if anyone done one before? The I-beam is already cut to length so we're in the process of building the new frame. Need help with mounts, spindles, steering, pretty much any advice you guys have will be great. Thanks!

Hundreds of threads dude

 

Everything you need is here at least three and four times over. Take some time with the search and you'll find some great stuff. Especially putting in a droopped and straight axle.

 

Thanks guys! sorry for being a newbie to the forums =/

 

I'd be willing to bet very few guys on here have built a g***er. I sure havent seen very many. Or did you mean a "g***er"?

 

What?

 

Must be the "satire" of which he speaks.

 

I want to see the "I beam that is cut to length...."

 

Hey Crazy Johnny,

Do you have any photographs bro? We love to to see photos of a build in different stages. G***ers rule man! There is just something about them that screams Bad ***! Best of luck to you!

 

Watch out for the g***er haters on here getting on their soap box. Dont let them beat you down.

 

What about the g***er cl*** lovers?

I hate it when I have gas.

But Three window Larry likes to poo.....dunno about gas.

I too would like to see the dropped I-beam cut to length...

 

By george, I DO believe hes got it!

 

Ed, by "g***er" I think he means a car jacked up so high you need a stepladder to get in, with "kewl" stuff like the rear springs mounted on top of the back axle, bolt-on ten-spoke faux spindle mounts, a non-functional moon tank zip-tied in the grill, a tunnel-ram with a single four bbl top, bogus speed shop lettering all over the side, a comp cams "thumpr" and WWW pie-crusts on "Radirs" on the back. Oh yea, and lets not forget the 3.55 rear gears. Now THATS a "g***er".

 

I hate it when I have gas too, but sometimes I find that IF I take a big poo it goes away. Then I feel better. So I guess you could say I dont like gas, but I do like a big poo, at least sometimes.
Three window Larry aint as dumb as he looks...

Ironic, but usually the g***er cl*** lovers are the "g***er" haters! Whoda thunk it??

Hey, look at me! After 1500 some-odd posts, I FINALLY figured out the "multi-quote" function!

 

That's what caught my eye as well.

Please, do show and tell this I-beam.

 

"Three window Larry aint as dumb as he looks..."


Yes he is....

He claims it's lumpy gas.....

 

This reminds me of an old "Peter & Ivan" joke...

 

Hey, I tried that "I ain't as dumb as I look" to a truck driver once. And he said, "yeah nobody could be that dumb"---damn he was good, heh. Haven't used that line since, LOL!

 

Just finished my second one. The first one is in the avatar, and the second one, well lets just say that I just finished a big tall can of beans

 

I'll have some of that..

 

Not me, farting is one of my favorite things to do. Other people dont seem to be too happy about it though.

 

Hey Johnny... Were you in motown last August??? I know I've seen a car like yours on Woodward Ave.. I could be wrong......

 

johnny just post your **** let's see some pics then they can comment.

 

Johnny, I have posted my 64 GTO straight axle build with pictures here in the Forums. I ***led it 64 GTO G***er ( Look it up ) But quickly found that I had guys ******* on here all up in a bunch cuz I called it a g***er. When if I would have just called the thread 64 GTO Clone Straight Axle Build, the sun would have rose in the east and set in the west without any incident. Some guys here have a lot of estrogen in their systems so be careful what you call things. However, MOST of us know what you mean and get what you're taling about. Just look around here as a bunch of us have posted pictures of our builds as we go along. Any questions you can email me at Superchargedill@yahoo.com or call my cell 918-340-2383. Happy to help you however I can, Dil

 

...and "some guys here" bristle at things being mislabeled, along with self-serving attempts to re-write hotrod history. Since the HAMB is about traditional rides, it might be worthwhile to do a bit of research on the vernacular used back in the day. Keeping our history accurate, and p***ing this history on to the younger guys is the responsibility of all HAMBers...

 

I think he means street beast. But that's Ok with me.

I have actually built a gaser or two. I have never started with an axle I usually start with an engine then build the car around it.

But yes look around here there are a few threads about how to hang a straight axle under an otherwise stock car. I think that it would be easier to just bolt a car body on a truck ch***is but I guess the car frame will also work.

 

It's kinda hard to define what a g***er was (maybe not, just look at the rule book), but it's pretty easy to define what it wasn't. It wasn't a car you would find parked on the spectator side of the drag strip, whether it had a solid axle or not.
