Is this a newly done car or has it been a gasser forever? There was one these at the local track where I grew up in western Pa. that was around in the mid 60s. They didn't run it very much, and it dissappeared after a couple of years.

Welcome aboard! Glad to see more gasser guys on here. If you have been watching the gasser posts on here, you may have seen the Falcon wagon I'm building. Won't be done for Lancaster '05, but will be there in '06! By the way, how many guys in the Gasser Gang ? How many cars? Are they all Willys & Anglia's? - F.F.:confused:

Great pics of the other cars, but neither one ids the car I am talking about. Too bad I don't have any pics of it. Recreation or not, that is a cool car you have.
