Art & Inspiration F-N-G Gasser Fantasy

Howza All-

So I read and gauked at Chopo's recent post about the yard he found and was intrigued by the Gremiln in the shots.

GREMLIN??!!??

REALLY?!

Well, yeah and call it the F-N-G.

****i-N-Gremlin

Consider this.

They are light weight and accessible.

The engine bays are wide enough for most SBC's/SBF's or a really righteous American Motors Mill.

Imagine a Econo straight axle up front and a 9" Ford shackled rear axle.

Nosebleed stance or neo-Modern 70's era Highboy. I can see this blazing yellow with Mooneyes logos on it, or painted to look like Mark Donahue's NASCAR ride of the early 70's.

Am I "SPOOKY" or does anyone else see the possibilities.

It would be more out there than a V8 Pinto or Vega.

Plus if ya want to get that 70's vibe, hand letter that the driver of this little beast as "Harry Reems" or "Johnny Wad" or even "Ron Jeremy".

 

you have a lot of time on your hands don't you...................

 

"Can't sleep, the Clowns will eat me"

 

Back in the day...
The Gremlin's had what it took to be street performers when equiped with a healthy V8, but they never gained widespread acceptance as serious race machines because the wheelbase was too short for any kind of stability, and there wasn't enough weight over the rear-end to get any traction.

That's the way I remember it.

 

my brother ate mushrooms once and saw Gremlins.....

 

Yeah, I know this is kinda F'ed up beyond all that is driven by sanity, but I thought WTF?!?...

This board is filled with creative minds and this really could be a overthe top.

 

Most ironic car name ever...Gremlin.

 

This won't last long before the "it's too new and doesn't belong on the HAMB" *****er's start squeeling.

 

I thought all the gremlins got used up in open wheeled modified stock cars in the 70's ...lol

 

wally booth thought that they hooked real good

 

**** 'em, I think it is a cool idea! ( and yes the clowns will eat you, its really true!)

 

consider this
non hamb friendly car
sorrry, but to use your acronym
****i-n- gay
just cause you own one doesnt automatically make it cool
just my 2 cents

 

Nah. I don't own one.

Just was looking at an old issue of CARToons magazine and saw a drawing in the "letters" column and it started me to think.

I know it is not HAMB "friendly".

It is not from a desired era of iron.

Hell, I don't even like them, but I'd like to see what someone could build one if they were to get one for a song.

 

you were scarin me for a second.

 

how can you call this unstable?

Berts Gremlin after the Chilly Willy Willys was sold

 

Nope, it's just ****ing gay.

 

Similar size and shape, but this is stable too, until its demise

LMFAO!!!!!

 

Wind tunnel tests in the 70s showed they would be faster if going backwards.

 

i had a gremlin once. thought i would do something a little different with it. ya, i know it is a little wierd but, it drives like a car and is fast as all get out. it even has a stick in it.

 

all i can say is i am definatley with you on this issue. let the others laugh... it may be off topic but it is still pretty bad***.

 

I like this Gremlin fantasy.

Kinda Fast Times aT Ridgemont High-ish....

Jesus, I am old..

 

Good GOD do I miss the 70's...
