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

Here is my straight axle fiat with a nose high stance.

 

This car is a killer ride, and it runs damb good too.

 

Yup, '62 to be exact...

Got them from a Kid who spent HOURS with a hole saw & then decided he needed HYDRO's on his truck. That Poor truck will never see the road again.

Made some progress on the headers, They are Pretty Fuckin Wild !!

 

raced in southern ohio 1968-1973,

 

Love it ! Very, very nice !

 

55 chevy 2 dr HandyMan Wagon Slow goin cuz the money aint flowin

 

thank you. I had it made buy a guy out in PA. he made it out of chromemoly. Speedway springs, mr. roadster spindles, disc brake kit from spdwy. Too bad you cant see the sun catching the metal flke paint . Sports a ford 9" rear with coilovers.

 

Nice 55 wagon. I got one of those handy mans wgn too, all stock 150. Cant get myself to make it into a gasser.

 

Here one from Thompson that was neat

 

Owned many, heres a couple I've had..

 

I am building a 57 chevy gasser now. I need to post pics. It is a 4 dr sedan converted to 2 door. I have radiused the rear quarters to fit some big pie crust cheater slicks and it sits on a 57 truck front axle and a 12 bolt rear. I am tring to make as much stuff as possible rather than buying any "kits". Tim

 

Love the 57 150. Lookin for one to build into a jr stocker. Seen nutin but rust.

 

Went to track last nite with 56 gasser, new fastest ET- 10.39 @ 127 mph. Still no fast enuff!

 

Is there such a thing as "Fast enough" ? lol..

 

Well uh.. nope! That car at that speed is a real handful! No such thing as straight wen it goes thru the traps. Like to eventully go 10.0 and thats it, I promise.

 

Oh come on,9.80's...you can do it....lol

 

got a 69 chevelle 300 tube car for that. 8.seccond ride, with a 598 incher. Love my gasser more.

 

Damn right!!

 

Sounds Like Fun!

 

Here is mine. Worn out 350 with a weiand 142 super charger. Its nothing special, but I sure have fun with it.

 

Looks Pretty Bad Ass to me!

 

I currently own this '57 150. I've raased the front end 4", put a pair of 15"x3.5" Fenton Gyro slots w/ 7.75 15 tires on the front and changed the 4.56 rear gears to 4.11s.

I drive the hell out of it and race it at nostalgia drags every chance I get. I drove it from Phoenix to Bakersfield and won the Nostalgia Gasser class at Dragfest with it in 2008.

 

Thats so Awesome! I have Owned that car twice in my Life and I have the Steering Wheel that was in that car since the 70's hanging on my garage wall.I regret selling that car.I have lots of stories..I'm so glad its in good hands..I sent you a PM. And oh the that line from Sam Cookes Twistin the Night Away is "He's Dancin with the chick in Slacks" LOL

 

1960 vette, old drag car from Il.,ran at Union Grove in mid-late 60's,.as a D/gas car.Ran under the name of "DAMNASTY". I just bought it and drive it most every day.It dont get much better than this for me.Sure is good to see all the pics of the gassers of yesterday.thanks to everyone,Larry

 

Cool as# Vega, ditch the scoop though

 

Its all about the fun in owning/driving these cars. This is becoming a growing type of car art and history. I want to build another one and hopefully when Im gone the car will be around for a long time like the originals are today.

 

Looks awsome! 56s are really gettin more popular these days.

 

oh yeah.but they've been #1 in my book for a long time............. but then I was also born in 56 the same month my chevy was
