Hot Rods Pix of '55-'57 Ford Gassers - the "other" Tri-Fives

My brother Scott's 55' Ford Gasser. SBF 302, I like the look of the Mickey Thompson Intake, even tho it may not flow all that well, it still like how it makes the engine bay!

More of my 57 Ford Pics

 

That's cooll, STRAXLE! Details on the build? When will it be on the street? I dig the dual quads...

 

Sweet!

 

Thanks Gents for the nice words. Realistically i should have on the road summer of 2016. There is tons to do on the car, but i plan on getting alot done this summer.

 

I found a couple of pictures that was years ago when I was mocking up parts on the engine, crazy headers.

How about a group pic of "the other tri-fives" at this years meltdown...

 

Here is the FE powered one I was talking about....now if only Robert Pond would get the lead out on the rest of his parts.

 

A SOHC powered gasser. Wicked Cool. (In my best SNL Bostonian accent.)

I often wonder how Pond stays in business as often as you hear customers of his complaining about delivery times.

Keep up the good work.

 

Bttt ...let's see more 55-57 Fords.

 

Bump! This showed up on the Drag Cars in Motion thread.

 

SWEET!

 

Now that's cool, Kev. Where was it? What was the asking price?

 

That was at the Antique Nationals at Fontana. Don't remember the exact price but I think somewhere between 3 and 4 grand. I would have loved to take it home.

 

Kev, do you know if it sold? And do you have the contact info? If so can you PM it to me... Thanks John

 

I know this getting old but keep them comeing,good stuff.Subscribed,have plans on building a 55' Meteor with a 60s built 12/1 312.

 

Here it is all put together

Man, that is beautiful! I'd really like to build a model of that!

 

Thanks is love to see a model of it that would be awesome. The entire build is on here with tons of pics of the car just search border bandits it should come up. Or just go to my posts.

I'll check my kits and see if I have the necessary parts. It would be a Killer Gasser, just like your car and fit right in at the TRaK forum.

 

Heres a pretty cool lookin roller project for 4k
