Features gasser austins

Getting closer to paint on my Austin! Epoxy primer went on today!

 

Nice selection of Austin gassers, I remember Oddy's and Ol Rumbleguts tearing up the track at Niagara, then running Cayuga as well. Those cars always put on a great show. That caused me to start a build on a 50 Panel delivery, little did I know when I started that the rear half of the body was aluminum, and I got in so far over my head that it got sold well before it was close.......................Great memories here.

bill that is really looking good. and fast too......

 

Wow! What a gorgeous A40! Very nicely done sir!

 

Here's mine i built most of it but had to leave it in the UK in '97 a friend of mine finished it off and i did have a chance to buy it back in '04 and drove it everywhere!

 

Winter projects

 

Two of my favorites; Austin and Anglia!

 

Looking good George. Looks like you spent some time on those front wheels.

 

thanks mickey, getting close to firing it up, brakes are done, tranny and driveshaft are in, still dreamin of march meet debut, time is running out. pretty tough to two at once. Thanks again for giving me a chance to do this neat Austin

 

Heres a Devon coupe and a Somerset fastback from the UK. I,ve had quite a few A40s, even had two Somerset convertibles at one time. Also an A70 Hereford pickup. Just about the only model i have,nt had would have to be an A90 Atlantic. Still have an A40 Countryman ( wagon ) Love 'em all but can,t keep 'em all.

 

Finished this in June of 2011. Actually officially completed at 12:30am the day of its first race, the Hunnert Car Heads Up in Union Grove, WI. Had lots of fun at the Meltdown in Byron, IL in July.

 

A legend in England,and gasser themed is Devon Cream.been off the road 35ish years

 

Where's the one racing my 32?
I LOVE these pictures!

 

Is that yours now? This is the `glass one isn´t it?

 

That,s right.Late 60's/early7o's it was all over the English magazine's and shows.Len Beech owns it now,and he is back on it;big time,neither of us are getting younger ..Pete Crane comes to mind;he either built it,or owned it in its twilight years.

 

Yes, it was red wasn´t it? Amazing that it´s still around. Keep us updated please!

 

Ha ha,I don't want to give too much away;I might be stealing Len's thunder!!!
What the H you doing in Germany,I suspect a fraulein?Hotrods are really starting to catch on over there arn't they?

 

Just here for work originally. Fraulien came later.
You do see a few around, I´ve seen a few around here, although I ain´t entirely certain how some of them manage to get registered.

 

My Austin just came out of the paint shop! Time for reassembly and lettering!

 

Looks Good

 

Decided to not go cream color on the lettering. Instead I'm going copper, with black borders. Got the sign guy lined up, but it's pouring rain in Oregon and need to wait until things get drier to drive there to have them done.
Weather break; got it finished!

 

Very Cool car came out goooood

 

Thanks!
