Worm-food or food, I wasn't certain if we were counting hyphenated words as one or two words?

I didn't mean to hijack this thread. I know that building a historically correct "gasser" didn't mean the same as current "gasser style" which seems to be closer related to the earlier "street freak" style than early gassers. I am excited about the possibility of this without ANT's molded in exhaust and the possibility of the scribed rear wheel wells to help things along. It has a lot of potential and I'm glad to see it returning.

I did, then removed the wrong firewall and used one from a 29 Ford (Revell pickup?) That a member sent me.

Thanks for the link. I'm pretty stoked to see this back. Oddly, in what research I've done reading Larry Davis' and Don Montgomery's books on gassers the 409 wasn't a common swap for gassers in the 60s. I am excited to see the cal custom scoop back. So, straight axle, wheel well headers and a bit of finaggling you'll get a period gasser...

After seeing posts about ads, I'm happy with mine...

2 years later I got back to this build and got the correct firewall.

This is beautiful.

I don't know much about the Revell version of the 55 Chevy, I believe the exhaust is separate from the chassis as opposed to the AMT version? Which would be nice. I also think it's cool that it includes the proper scoop for earlier gasser versions finally. Though I find it interesting that a straight axle doesn't seem to be available. I also find it interesting in the display model that the side trim is not aligned between the door and body.

For some reason I read this as "excluded family" and not "extended family", go figure?

I went through this with my pug last November, my prayers go out to you. I hope your resolution is better than mine was.

What Bill said! Congrats!!!

Flies of the Lord are not the same as Lord of The Flies, I don't think?

Bump. Kinda interesting topic. 😁

A 36 ford suspension? Spring behind the axle?

One saying that I've heard, though it's been awhile and I definitely am neither whipper or very snapper.

Well, when MapleLeaf comes back online...they had a great quick-change with the proper cross brace and I think springs?

I wish I had RH 418 personally, I've begged but Norm has no interest in casting it again...

No longer available 😢 This last one also no longer available by itself...

RMoM used to do a traditional 32 chassis but it's no longer available. Atlantis used to offer just a repop of c-1132 by itself but no longer. P-118 is still available from Norm for the front suspension pieces too. As well as his rear suspension and possibly Columbia as well as quick change rearend.

Dayum. I'm always amazed by your work.

Mine died in 1980, I think of him every day... I was just getting to know him as a person and not just a force of God. I'm now significantly older than he ever was and yet I still feel like a child when I think of him.
