modelfink Posted October 7, 2016 Author Share Posted October 7, 2016 She's done. Some detail painting on the underside and it will be completely finished. ( I glued the interior tub to the frame before painting the bottom of it. GRRRR.) I'm putting it up under glass and start on my next build.

johnnyg Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 this looks awesome. I'm building a gasser, using the same kit. What motor did you use, and from what kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lizard Racing Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Great work!I am doing a '37 Chevy Stovebolt and also made a tube rear bumper. The tube fills a dual purpose of push bar and can be filled with lead for ballast.What did you use for rear tires? My Stovebolt wouldn't need the wide slicks used for a blown V8.

TarheelRick Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Mighty fine looking Gasser. Back from the day when almost any style body could be built into a competitive drag car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rear slicks are Good Year Blue Streaks that came out of the AMT 51 Chevy kit.The bumpers were threaded so they could add and remove weight to run in more than one class as well.

426-Hemi Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Really like how you pulled this one off and you gave me encouragement to start mine. Thank you. Bruce, its doing the same for me too! HEY, I KNOW you -From another forum! Anyway, I'm gaining encouragement as well as inspiration to the one I am planning. (I have NEVER built a "Gasser" to date), not once! SO this will be a first for me, a Fictional one however, but a Gasser no less, from a '41 Plymouth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grayghost Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Was it this one?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUQWLKpcg0wThe Car in the beginning of the thread belongs to Tony Turner. He runs it with the Southeast Gassers. If you can catch one of their races you totally should. Old school straight axle gassers. The name of the movie is Hot Rod and another version is called Rebel Road.But bought are the same movie.Great build you killed this one.
