Technical Gassers

Sky Six -

Yeah, like I mentioned a coupla months back...PAY ATTENTION folks, to what's already there. Especially when this new ....have to post picture...was previously posted ON THAT SAME PAGE, or maybe one or two pages back..!
I don't understand, people that don't read, or look at photos a page or two previous to last one on THAT date !

Oh well...I guess it's just me, or a few of us that tries to look and least a few pages back, if I've missed them when directed to the most current page.

An olds with chain driven blower and twin 4 jet rottenchesters. Bitchin!!! And check out the valvecovers! And nowadays the naysayers will say..... your fuel line is too small!!! Bahhhhhaa. Lippy

 

Too small, Too Long

 

Two things that really stand out in that photo are the homebrewed crimp style fuel shutoff/regulator and the adel clamped fuel line, bet that put some bubbles in the fuel!

 

And one windsheild wiper!

 

YEAH.............I like it!

Ladder bars, lift bars , whatever you want to call them were a part of the package, with the thinking of the day being that the longer the bars, the more lift was generated on the front of the car, planting the rear . There was an article on this inHot Rod Magazine, I want to say in 1962, but I don't remember. Buy and watch the Jackson Brothers "Gasser Files" video. You won't be disappointed . Lots of Nor Cal History.

Love that^^^^^cast finish on the 4-port and blower....

 

Great photo. I assume the young lady is Mrs.Stott?

 

Colson & Wood Studebaker. It's currently being restored to it's early 1960's configuration. When it's done, it'll be back on the strip where it belongs.

 

Touchy subject...... Quains latest partner passed away not to long ago I don't know if that is her or not.

 

Oops, my bad. My apologies and condolences to his family.

 

With how many of these original gas-class cars were cobbled together, I'm partly convinced that some of the stances were "how it worked out" rather than all that much planning, math, or stressing details.

I say that as a someone who stresses details and peaks under every original hot rod I can.

I have seen a few iconic gas era cars, first hand, and they were crude by today's standards. Some others were downright scary and had to be an absolute handful to drive... but they had that iconic stance.
