Show Off Your Gasser!!

Here is my project since 2002. 64 Merc Comet. 5.0 EFI, 5 speed, 9 inch rear 4.57's.

 

Almost done 4 years of work.......

will be doing shake downs in June and then first races on July 23rd 2011 at the Meltdown Drags in Byron Illinois.....

 

Here's mine. Should have the straight axle done for Spring.

 

Some I used to Own:

 

I am going to have to build a gasser. I want a 56 Chevy

 

I owned this Heap Twice in my Lifetime.

 

That's my favorite model of '57 Chevy! The 150 series in a 2dr post are very cool!

 

This was even more rare, it was the Utility Sedan, no back seat,rear 1/4 windows were fixed in place.Someone had made a tonneau cover for the cargo space years ago,barely visible in Mike's pic above.

 

Wow! I was told by Chevy that that the untilty version ended in 1955. I had a '55 version, and dealership told me they made 500 in what was supoposed to be that last year.

Who is going to beaver springs for the gasser reunion!

 

mine currently

 

Damm Robert that bad boy is lookin great..........

 

Thank you for saying so Butch. It's been painted for awhile but the economy has put a halt on progress. So it rests in my garage, for now. Once I sell enough junk I'll continue.

 

Almost there!

 

Some great old and new photos here!

 

That car sat around the corner from me in a garage in Vallejo for years. Last time I saw it was about 1984, I remember it having Keystone mags back then.

 

Man that is one nice '57! Got any more pics?

 

+1! Wow!

 

The '57 in #347 looks great! Would like to see some more pics of it! And the Chevy II above as well! Looking good!

 

Finally got free from work. Here are some pics and a video from last year of my 50 sedan gasser.

awesome photo!!!!!:d

 

Robert....the new colour looks right on...nice!

 

" HEY I SEE ELVIS, ELVIS IS IN THE BUILDING "

Thx Elvis, I just wish that I could finish it. Economy is preventing anything from selling so no money.

 

I can never get enough gassers.

 

gassers is a disease, with no known cure

 

Hey Robert,the 55 is looking great,love the paint,so what if it takes another year or two to finish, it's progressed heaps since the misshap.Hang in there buddy it'll be worth it.My 55's not quite finished but im still having fun when i take it out.

 

Mild??!!

 

Been there brother...but economies do swing back.....still diggin your Chevy in that new shade......well done.
