damop6v8 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Look forward to seeing the Roaring Rat updates! Seen it run loads at the Hot Rod Drags at Shakey, great car as are all the gassers in the gasser circus. I'm hoping to start a replica of this 59 Impala, belongs to friend here in the UK, awesome car, running blown BB Chevy, I have the monogram 1/25 kit & even a set identical wheels complete with slicks, just gotta get a Big Block motor & blower to use, thinking the Revell/Monogram 70 3-1 chevell as it has the right scoop intake. Some more gasser pics from Shakespear County raceway here in the UK, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Myers Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 WOW! I have to say you chaps certainly have the Gasser thing figured out and tuned to a fine degree. Anyone would be hard pressed to say which side of the pond they came from. Thanks for sharing those inspirational photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
