I'm finally building my 38 Chevy Gasser. With a LOT of help from my friends Andy and Steve, this is what we did in 3 hours on Christmas. Sorry for not fully documenting. The frame rails were just tortured on this thing. PS-THANKS, "Termites Ate My Chevy" for the rails! HACK attempt at an axle install New rails on floor(I'll post below for the rest)
Reminds me of one weekend in Albequerque! Nice work. No question on replacing the front frame rails! jerry
Wow, that's gonna be a nice little car. Those rails were pretty trashed but a little bondo reinforced with screen door wire and the'd be good as new
I Like the gasser look on the 38. Had one in colorado in 83, same color exactly. When I saw yours about fell out of my chair. mine was Mostly a stock conversion with original motor. I'll try to send a pic if i can find one. If yours is out of colorado I have some early pics of when I drug it out of a field in 1974 south of denver for $400.00 thanks ...ghost
Any chance the car had a Pontiac engine? Looks a lot like the gasser that the owner of Titan Engineering used to run.
You are a damn lucky man to have friends like that ! The car looks great . Keep use posted with pictures !
