Projekt Cheap and Free Gasser

Norrland, that thing is really cool! I had a dumb question: In some of the sheet metal you added there are lightening holes. How is this done where get the lip around the hole? Is it some type of punch? Thanks a lot!

 

well my family is from Småland so it is swedish redneck coffee

 

Yep! Just like we planed it. Please dont tell anyone?

 

Impressive - Awesome BUild.

will the rear tires rub the wheel wells if it squats?

 

Hope not. But thats something we will find out after we testdriven it....

 

Well, I guess that's one way to make sure you have enough room between the water pump and the radiator. Should be fun to drive sitting on the rear axle!

 

Think we gone have blast with it....

 

Im sad to say ! There will now be 1 week with no time for messing with our beloved Gasser (Kimmen is i Egypt on vaccation and i have some home dutys and job hunting to do). But i hope there will be some comments activity on this tread anyway. If anything would happen u will be the first ones to know!!

 

Looks like a fun project, I'm surprised I never came across this thread before but it has been an interesting read. Little foreign cars with American power KICK ASS !

 

Thanks igorw!

Your Saab with the 348 is not to bad ether.

Tomorrow maybe there will be some updates to this Old Fart again...

 

this reminds me of one i helped work on last year. heres a couple pics for inspiration.

 

Thanks fot those inspiring pics thrasher...

 

more please , great read, vin

 

I agree, very cool! Besides if your not driving from the back seat you have too much car and not enough motor.

 

Sorry I missed this post when it first came out. I used to work with a guy that drove one of these everyday for regular transportation. I know it's not the same one, but cool to see one come back this way. Great job!

 

I just got the 2-1/2" to do a visor.

Thanks for the comments. Will have to give the Ol 41 (see pic) some nursery for a week or 2, but after that we will get to buissness with this Ol fart again!!
