Show Off Your Gasser!!

What a Killer Car!
Where was the car raced?
Keokuk?
St.Louis?
Kansas City?

 

Car ran southern Il. And St Louis Mo. Records are from Mo

 

Love this 56. Surprised it has a Saginaw in it. They use to blow up as quick and easy as the three speeds.....

 

Me to, but thats the way I got it, Maybe some one had switched it out As for now its a street car

 

I will also put a 18 gallon fuel cell with sending unit and a set of Radir cheaters on it, Do not like the looks of the cokers and the recapps have 50/50 good to bad reviews on them otherwise will just be a driver toy

 

Check out the Firestones. Good looking tires and are not recaps. Just picked up a used set for my 27 T Coupe.

 

Thats a nice looking slick. I got a lot of time to get some looks like spring will be here in july!!!!!! A buddy had the first set of radirs on his dragster and they held up for years

 

Whatever it takes to get Tom and his Bel Air to the Reunion, I'm all in!
Help drop a drivetrain in it? Tow it? Push or pull it? Wash it (NOT). Need a spare engine? If I can twist an arm or turn a wrench, I'll be available.

 

GoKart I built for the boys. It has that gasser look.

I like the stance your 56 it sets right My Radir slicks should be coming soon Just got to decide white walls in or out Its pretty much ready to drive up to melt down Need to get bigger fuel cell before that 5 gallon cell may not make the 7 mile round trip!

Cs39ford: Thanks. I'm not sure, the guy I got it from was an idiot to say the least. I'm glad I reduced it from him.

Dooley: thanks! I've had lots of fun with it. Thinking about selling it lately. Let someone else enjoy it.

Here's my 56 with new paint. No longer yellow as in my avatar, It now is sporting the paint job used for the 1969 NHRA Winternationals.
