modelfink Posted October 7, 2016 Author 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 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?
modelfink Posted October 17, 2016 Author Posted October 17, 2016 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
426-Hemi Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 Travis,Just enough room behind the grille to add the Moon tank! THATS awesome!!!!! So far so good! looks GREAT!
Lizard Racing Posted October 18, 2016 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 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.

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.
Dogfish_7 Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 Really like how you pulled this one off and you gave me encouragement to start mine. Thank you.
426-Hemi Posted October 21, 2016 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!
426-Hemi Posted October 21, 2016 Posted October 21, 2016 Travis, ya did a fine job on this one!!!! So then, whats next on the bench for you?
grayghost Posted October 23, 2016 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.
David G. Posted October 23, 2016 Posted October 23, 2016 That came out really nice. I've always liked Gassers. I have yet to build one, but I've always liked their rawness.David G.
modelfink Posted October 24, 2016 Author Posted October 24, 2016 (edited) Travis, ya did a fine job on this one!!!! So then, whats next on the bench for you?Next up is a 32 Ford 5 window gasser. My first attempt at a polished paint job. Wish me luck! lolYou can see the build process so far here:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVoU7nzEBSxvHvXYIjRgp8g Edited October 24, 2016 by modelfink
