mcandela Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Talking about bugs...did anyone read in the new issu of Hot Rod the reconstruction of the original lightning bug? interesting. I grew up watching the former lightning bug racing in Puerto Rico under Diego Febles care. Good memories of that classic gasser. http://blogs.hotrod....gend-14699.html Vaya, Here's the link to the article in HotVW's magazine. Came out december 2010. http://www.hotvws.com/images/Back%20Issues/2010%20Back%20Issues/Contents/pages/12%20Dec_2010%20Contents.htm Saludos.

High octane Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Besides watching the gassers run back in the mid-60's, it's books and mags like these that fuel my passion for building these cars in scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Sumner Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Just for those fellas who may not be all that into gassers, just want to clarify 2 of the cars in Len's post above... The Rollin Stoned Camaro and the Revell Jungle Jim car are not Gassers! And the gorgeous blond? Well I sincerely HOPE she's not a "Gasser!" LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Sumner Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Cool car indeed, but not a Gasser....it's an Altered. Not being picky...it's just that this thread is supposed to be about Gasser Inspiration and I just wanted to make sure someone who might build this car doesn't make the mistake of calling it a Gasser... ) Heres a link to one of my favorites.

Terry Sumner Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 (edited) If you wanna see some cool old true gassers actually running for some inspiration...look at these youtube videos! A few of the cars are from my old track where I worked...Connecticut Dragway! And BTW...the above car, The High and Mighty, is shown running at 4:14 in the video timeline! And the second...another excellent video! Edited December 21, 2011 by Terry Sumner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willys36 Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Here are shots of my daily driver. Bought the car in 1964 for $75 finally got it on the road in 1995! Has 354 hemi, '54 4-speed Hydro, '56 Olds rear end, all the old parts. I did all the work except chrome plating and upholstery. Oh and I made a fiberglass front end from the original sheet metal.
