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

My coupe in progress.

 

Look'n Sweet Violet!

 

Awesome!!!!!

 

my project is slowly coming along...gotta get another hood scoop at some point!

 

Perfect stance! What drivetrain are you running?

 

lookin good it even looks better in real life.....

 

Thanks, I'm going to do a build thread on it in the future.

 

It's looking very cool !

 

I think the scoop is cool, you just need to shorten the back an move the scoop back towards the windshield.

 

I got the hood for 200.00 at a swap meet and it fits perfectly...but the scoop is too far forward. Luckily it's put on pretty badly so it'll be no problem taking off. I need to got to the fotki website and look through a couple hundred pics to find the hood scoop I like! today though i need to start fabricating the bell crank and arms for the 4 speed!

 

can you share some info on the ladder bars? I was thinking of getting some caltracs but I like the old school ladder bar look

 

Bought this ol bone to restore and been collecting parts, we'll be at the Meltdown Drags next year.

 

...... And more pics would be cool also.. How about some of the front suspension??? Thanks in advance!!

 

There are ladder bars all over Fleabay, or you can fab some up from 1"-1.25" box tubing.
Most look like these:

...but i wouldn't buy those from that seller, there was a thread on here about these. chk his other bars, muffler clamps!

 

Here is some pictures of my dad's coupe. 1937 Chrysler Royal, all Mopar powered. 440, 727, 8 3/4.

 

Wasn't reccommending his ladder bars was I? Simply showing how they look. And the ones I linked didn't have muffler clamps, they were weld on.

 

love that look takes me way back

 

I'll post some pics of the ladder bars tomorrow for you.

 

here is a 53 willys aero i ran in 09 and sold , was a great little hot rod...

 

thanks! I'd like to make my own (to get it "just right") but I'm thinking that without a jig to hold it all in place I'd have some warping from the welding. I dont want to hijack this thread, I better start a new one.

 

Here's my 63 Comet

 

My ladders bars are made from 1" x 1/8 wall square tubing. Where the rod ends screw in it is made from 1" x 1" x 2" mild steel that I drilled and tapped 3/4 NF. The ladder bar also has a adjustable link on the back so I can adjust the pinion angle and IC with out binding the rod ends, I don"t know how well this will work, I'll find when I get the car on the track. I used a piece of 6" channel to keep the flat while I tack welded them together.

 

Man, I really dig the real race cars, we nned more pictures!!
