Hey, welcome from another New Yorker.Do you belong to the Gasser Gang by any chance?MIKE By the way, the Stude is fucki''n wicked!!
thanks for the welcome guys. mike,no i dont,but we go to that show/race every year and im friends with most of the gasser gang guys. scotty
Is this a newly done car or has it been a gasser forever? There was one these at the local track where I grew up in western Pa. that was around in the mid 60s. They didn't run it very much, and it dissappeared after a couple of years.
unfortunately is a recreation,i wasnt even a thought in the 60's yet . i tried to model it after some originals,one which of where from pennsylvania,these look familiar? scotty
Welcome aboard! Glad to see more gasser guys on here. If you have been watching the gasser posts on here, you may have seen the Falcon wagon I'm building. Won't be done for Lancaster '05, but will be there in '06! By the way, how many guys in the Gasser Gang ? How many cars? Are they all Willys & Anglia's? - F.F.
ff, i'd say theres about 50 guys,plus their families,if you want i can get you their contact info,theres all types of cars. some pics arent showing up for me,can you post your falcon,i dig falcons. scotty
Great pics of the other cars, but neither one ids the car I am talking about. Too bad I don't have any pics of it. Recreation or not, that is a cool car you have.
Saw your Stude up close and personal like, when the Home Run was still in Collins's front yard. Ya, remember what year that was Scott? Anyway we talked Gassers for a while. Later I remember seeing a your Stude featured in Gasser Wars Magazine. Very Cool! Any way, welcome from another New Yorker.
