noname Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I wanted to finish a "shelf queen" I had started a while back but take it in a new direction. I was in the mood for a Gasser. I remember a Chevy II (62-65) when I was a kid painted white with fat tires sticking out past the fenders. It was rough but cool all the same. First I had to redo the molding I shaved off before realizing it was suppose to be there weather the chrome was still there or not. Then I cut off the front end. And rebuilt a new one. Here it is in primer. Will adds the extras after paint. I have a question. Does anybody know when they started using the MT Sportsman street tires? That is what I am using here. Thanks for looking.

Shardik Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Nice work on the functional steering, but the steering knuckles look strange to me. Kind of like it's got two kingpins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skip Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 The threaded M/T Sportsman tires came into popularity with the Pro-Street look, so say mid 80's early 90's with narrowed rear ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrKerry Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I'm liking this one!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noname Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share Posted October 18, 2013 Thanks everyone. I used the spindle from the kit to save a little time. Maybe that is why it looks odd. But painted with tires on etc. I don't think you'll notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noname Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share Posted October 27, 2013 Did some work to the chassis. Added shackles, shocks and the kit traction bars. Painted the front end Alclad steel and made a pair of shocks. Rims out back are finished. That's it for now. I've been opening up the rear wheel openings but for some reason photo bucket will not let me post these pictures. Anyway, lots to do. Thanks for looking.

kobuzz Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 The front suspension looks very good. Where did the rear wheels come from? I'd like to get a few sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noname Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share Posted October 27, 2013 Thanks guys. I think the tires came from the 41 Willys Street Rod kit. The rims were the steelies that come with tons of kits. I just had to widen them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
