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.

this looks awesome. I'm building a gasser, using the same kit. What motor did you use, and from what kit?

Thanks! The Engine is a 392 Hemi from the MPC Wild Willie Borsch Winged Express kit

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.

Thanks. 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.

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 :P -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!

Was it this one?

The 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.
