I really like the new paint scheme. When the name "Executioner" gets painted back on, I think it would look cool with the "X" being two crossed...
My wife was a big fan of the Boogie Man build, and asked me to get on the forum and give her an update. Chris had it well on the way to being a...
Any new news on the Boogie Man? --- Steve ---
That's a pretty cool video. It seems someone would have restored that 58 Impala by now, considering it's famous former owner. Kind of a shame it...
Well, I wonder whatever happened to the cars these guys drove? That would steer the thread on topic.
I remember when that crash happened. It was big news and my parents and classmates were all talking about it. Those guys songs were on the radio...
Was playing around with a calculator, and realized an automobile made before 1940 is closer in time to 1865 Civil War Iron than current 2014 Iron....
Sounds like a really cool project. I'll be waiting for results on this one. Subscribed. --- Steve ---
Firsthand experience here. My dad dealer ordered a 1964 Mercury Comet with a 260 V8 and 3 speed Automatic Transmission. The car was handed down to...
This is the best Greer Gasser Video I have seen, and the footage of Gene, the Moonlighter, and the pretty Gasser Girls make it just that much...
High and Mighty seemed pretty close to a gasser to me with a full body and all. If you pused the rear wheels back a few inches after they put rear...
Quain ... You are so full of talent, good will, and work ethic ... I'm sure things will work out great for 'ya in the long run, whatever that may...
Here's wishing the Cromer family and all the fine folks who helped rebuild the Moonlighter A Merry Christmas & Happy New Year.:) --- Steve ---
A milestone for this thread today. One year since Gene's first post. It's simply amazing what all has transpired since that time. Wake up...
Cool, when I'm at a cruise-in or car show, I have to check out the 60's compact cars to see if I can spot some cool 4 lug wheels on them. Guess...
When I was a young fella, guys kept them covered with hub caps or wheel covers because four lugs on the wheels was a dead giveaway to something...
So Chris keeps Gene's 427 tall deck block. Oh well, we certainly won't have to worry about Quain coming up with enough engine for the Boggie...
I really hope this build thread continues on to the finished product. It would also be fitting and cool if the car retains the "Boogie Man" name...
Let's see a 600ci 5500rpm chipped 2 speed powerglide car throttle stopped to 5.90 go smoothly down the track. Then let's see an 8000rpm car clutch...
A 4.30 is more of a dragstrip gear than a highway gear. I would run the tallest tires that fit the car if it was me. With an overdrive of .70 to...
Wow, great Quain interview. Hat's off to Competition Plus.:) Can't wait till they get Gene's interview video posted up! --- Steve ---
This news is hard to hear. :mad::( Maybe it's about time for the "real gasser" show to get a name that conveys the period correct theme to...
Who were the winners and runner up's ?
Know what you mean Quain. All us old 4 speed drivers back in the 60's and 70's just had our eye's, feet, shifter hands & brain to keep the RPM's...
Some period perspective is in order. Gene's car is built back to 1967 spec's wih old period spare engine parts and injection. Quain added about...
Put wide rubber bands around the tabs. Bent the tabs out so far you couldn't get the cover on, then knocked them on with a rubber mallet.
Man, Shannon's '55 is about as period correct looking mid 60's gasser as it gets. Gorgeous looking and built by the master Quain to boot. I'll...
Really thirsty for some updates. Guess I'll just have to rely on the cans of root beer in the fridge for the meantime. :D --- Steve ---
Same thing I was going to say. Can't wait for the results! There better be great pic and video coverage, since we have a hall of fame legend...
Thanks for posting this story Danny. That's a great thing you did for Brenda. I'm sure it was a lot of hard work, but a labor of love for your...
