Who has a Gasser style car ? Stand up and be counted !

Oops just remembered this one I think its an old Irish saying and could be carved on my tombstone " You can.t educate pork!"

 

actually , a guy i know had a anglia with a 498" keith black hemi with a blower and a bird catcher....outher than the hat ...it all fit under the hood....without even the slightest hint of hemi power visible.....i will have to look for the pics....also have a pic of a thames with a dual plug hemi with stack injection ....neat looking piece as well......brandon

 

Here's my buddy Brads 55.

 

kool, thats ole Brad Barries ride........

 

I built my 39 chev gasser style in the early 90's when it was far from in style . With a 327 and try power It really turned some heads . Later ran a LS7 here is a pic and link to some track action if anyone is interested

hope you enjoy loud!!!!

 

Thanks very wild !!!

 

Bus-ter, your '39 Chevy really gets with the program! LS-7's are awesome, it's a shame you can't buy them anymore. How fast did that car go?

 

Bloody limey.s What do they know.................What a beauty!!!!!!!

 

I took these at the HAMB Drags 2007 .

 

That orange/bronze coupe is so bitchin'. It was my second favorite car at the HAMB Drags, behind Danny's blue Stude. We gave it our "Kontinentals Pick".

The car was built in the early 60's by some guys his Dad knew. His Dad bought it in the early 70's and kept it until 2 years ago. That's when the son (current owner) bought it from his Dad. Cool story and super cool car.

 

Todd, I know we have exchanged mails but I have to say this again, your car is just the best. I love it!

What a great thread!

Hey Paul,
Thanks again for kind words. I just had in Michigan for the woodward dream cruise. made a bunch of laps up and down woodward. Had a great time..
Thanks,
Todd

 

Not sure if I would call it a gasser but it has the early race look

 

Posted this on other threads, but here it is again. Still a work in progress.

Hi Glenn,

You are missed as a member of the Mid America Willys Club!

Headed to our 2nd GASSER Nationals at Thompson Raceway Park, Thompson, Ohio, this weekend (Sept. 8-9). Looks like we may have clear skies for a change. Love it!

Some great looking cars here! Here is my "Project Gasser". If all goes well, I'll be up and running this coming spring.

 

Here is a pic of my '49 gasser, blown 350, street cruiser!!

 

...future gasser...

 

1951 Henry J, starting to go together gasser style (finally). Too far apart for pics at this point but I have a 500inch 6-71 blown Caddy and Olds rear for it. Nothing polished or plated.

 

Damn this thread is very good. I like gassers would love to build one one day. But i cant do that to my cadillac. I also have a question where do you get all the suspension parts for these????

 

GREAT THREAD!
I am about to tear apart my '56 Poncho.
anyone know anybody near Omaha with a gasser I could get a good look at/bother about their car? I am learning as I go on this one since there seems to be none around and I am way to young to have seen any of the originals back in the day.
oh yeah, sorry I havent been around much (like anyone missed me) but it's summer and I'm not gonna waste the only good weather we get!
thanks
Joe

 

I'm partial to Olds, so here's one from a HOTROD feature a lil' ways back....

 

Back to being a "Roller".

 

Update! (as if you haven't seen it done already...

 

Sam-u-are, excellent !
Exactly how I have built a 55 in my head (a couple hundred times)
I like the "street fighter "look .
What happened to the yellow front end?

 

I'm leaning towards it...pointing upwards I mean

 

sweet as pie !

 

I see a lot of my old pics are gone so I will repost in order of build- I got them in more or less the right order w a few mix ups but you get the idea , there were many more but pics were lost in a house fire in 87
the blue 40 is a photoshop and I just reaquired it to do just that to it. the 39 53 were projects that got sold for one reason or another , the 57 2dr, 56 SD, Austin and A PU were original gas cars , the Nova was a drag car in SS/A, the 57 4dr was a S/A drag car returned to the street.The 37 was gasser in Ariz., then a street racer In CA, later a semi custom (and VERY POOR one at that) I returned it to a semi stock look body)

 

and todays car it is low going and will be even slower soon but it will have all the power of the old days w a few modern additions for my old ass. An old sixties rod that has seen strip duty, but never a full time drag car. Yah, I'm a photo freak , I want one last car w a LOT of power B4 we cannot afford to drive them like that anymore.
