My Comet Gasser Project...........pics for Sodbuster, Zeke

oh, my. yes.

Neal, you're a genius.

 

Thanks Dan.....Look forward to see you in Austin for the Round UP!

 

Your Comet has a good look to it. If that rear and ubolts are going to survive over the axle, you better put some ladder bars on it. I wouldn't narrow the rear if I were you but I'd narrow the rear wheels a couple of inches to have a more authentic racer look. Right now it looks more like an old show car.

But I still love it. Comets and Falcons rock.

You can't beat the stance of Chrisman's 427 Ford Powered Comet g***er show here at the 1964 NHRA Championship Drags. (Sorry for the ****py quality of the photo, it's from a small photo in a Hot Rod Yearbook).

 

Cougdan...I've been going over and over in my head what a set of long ladder bars should look like......they have to be over three feet and be particular to the sixties era.... or maybe early seventies........and chrome...for that show car look..

 

Rad, you gotta use square tubing. Spend an afternoon checking out the G***ermadness site for ideas. By the way, I grew up in Roswell and live in Lubbock now.

Zeke, I was also thinking "StewedTamater" haha I love Falcon/Comet g***ers,I have a 67 Falcon I was thinking g***er, but it has a new front end and handles too good right now. Here a good pic of a 67.....

 

"StewedTamater"??Ha ha that's a good one I'm leaning towards Blue Plate Special. Blue body and a flaked midnite blue roof

 

Cool stuff! I hope to get my "Nashty Habit" '63 Rambler American 440H g***er done this year, but I just heard that I'll be looking for work in March... company is moving from Oxnard, CA 100 miles South to seepest, darkest Santa Ana.

That's the pic my dad took. I love the rear engine in it.

 

Purple, Wow thats cool! Must have been cooler to see it run.

 

WOW....are we getting a G***er group started on here? This is very cool, and your G***er is *****'n. Just so you know, I just got my G***er running....street G***er that is.
I'm really glad to see another guy building one.

Neal- that thing is just plain BAD!

 

Chrisman's car was no g***er. It was the world's first fuel funny car. Before the name funny car was even invented. Changed the car to a '65 the next year, and set the engine back under the cowl. The whole exhibition/match race stocker deal sort of took off from there.....

 

heres the first or 3
