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

My 55

 

And my future build... 40 Dodge coupe gasser

 

I have never actually seen one gjpl. Very cool.

 

Renault gasser, 292 Inline Chevy six

 

A run at Eagle Field.

 

My 37 Chevy drag car and my 1940 all steel willys pick-up. Willys will be gasser style but will be street driven. 427 chevy small block in the 37 and a 331 hemi in the willys.

 

Gassing up on our way to the drags last June.

Roof is old school lace

 

500hp 350 Muncie 4spd Olds Pontiac rear end

 

Heres a little update on mine.

 

I picked up this '48 Austin a year or so ago, a work in progress....At least it's licensed, runs and drives now. Still a long way to go.
How it looked when I got it. Anyone recognize it?? I'd love to know the history.
After sanding off the nasty red primer - still a 350 w/4bbl
As it is now with a blown 355" SBC

 

Do these tires make my butt look fat? I am Butch/56sedandelivery.

 

Starting to get there

Hi, I 'm glad you are still here , as the author of this thread. I'd like to ask you a few questions.
Your title kind of leaves the door open fairly wide, as to what you were expecting to see.
So now, about 14 years down the road, are you okay with what is now a significant part of the gasser "fad" ?
By that I mean the exxagerated , cartoon like cars with excessively jacked up front ends, incorrect and inaccurate class designation lettering, modern supposedly retro wheels, that weren't even being made yet when you started this thread, billet components, induction systems that are not at all retro or traditional? In other words , Facebook "gassers".
Or were you expecting to see cars what one might have seen in 1965, which most know, is the cut off point for this site?
Just curious. No right or wrong answers, and no apologies needed..At least not for me.
Thanks,
Mark

 

Hey Mark,
To answer your question, '60's style/period-ish Gasser cars. It is best that we stick to this as not doing so would shut down the thread, and I would hate to see that happen after 14 years.
Let's leave the "I installed a tube axle under anything and I call it a gasser" to the facebook universe.
Thank you for your question,
Glenn Hayes
Yes, I'm on Facebook too !
