Well...I've checked everything this morning and all parts are touching where they should and the wheel still needs to go up 3/16" It's got me baffled. I've spent two days on this and it's trying my patience so I'm putting this one back in the box for a later date.

Great looking mods Roger. This build is coming along nicely. Baking pan aluminum ?
-
Thanks for the link Dale. I sent some pics off that site as a reference to have my decals made.
-
Thanks Maurice. Yeah, I normally paint the transmissions a flat aluminum but thought I'd leave this one the same color as the block.

I'll check this out this morning. The top of firewall is stopping the body from going down any further. I pulled the firewall back out and it dropped down a little but it still has a pretty good way to go.

Haha....not a Gasser. Haven't figured this one out yet.

I got this 1957 Ford Sedan Gasser kit from a good friend of mine Roger S. I saw this pic of the GALPIN GASSER III and really liked what I saw. I've already ordered the decals and I picked up a can of Tamiya TS-92 Metallic Orange at the local hobby shop. The pic of the GALPIN GASSER III seems to have Bigger slicks than what comes in the kit so I found these wheels & tires in the parts box. I pulled this blown engine out of the 1929 Model A Roadster and I pretty much have it finished. First order of business was to delete the chrome trim from the rear quarter panels.

Well....I did a trail fit this morning and something is not right. The front end is way to high. My first thoughts were I used the wrong front suspension. Checking the instruction sheet once again and it's the correct part. I pulled the firewall back out and it lowered the front end a little but not enough. I'm thinking now that the whole suspension is warped from front to back. You can see the gap between the firewall and the inner fender. I'm thinking I can put some glue between the two and clamp it in place to pull the front end up. If that doesn't work I don't know what.

Thanks David. Much appreciated.
