Gasser styled....sort of. No straight axle but high all around.No front bumper and old school Cragars. Big block,4 speed and Ford 9 inch with 4.11's. Single 4 barrel tunnelram in the spring.I like to keep the car relatively drivable.

That's gonna be a cool gasser wagon. I can see parallel leafs and straight axel under there! Keep up the good work!

I would be up for that if theres enough Ed

latest project. 41 willys gasser with a 454 4speed

I will try to find out an idea of dates from the Armdrop guys and maybe we can make it happen. Ed

I've got one...




 It's got a stroked 409 W motor and it's best 1/4 mile time is 10.10 @ 128 mph.

I posted a message on there site hopefully they respond soon if they have any confermed dates. Ed

I started on one a few years ago, but got side tracked....again. Too many irons in the fire, I guess. I should sell some irons and get back to it!

Still having fun collecting parts and pieces though!

Those Fords make really cool gassers . I would love to see one with a blown 460. That would move it down the trac in a hurry!

I agree, the Fords make cool looking gassers. I'm always surprised that there aren't more of them.

 Oh-oh. You guys weren't trying to inspire me were you? 'Cause now I feel a little....well...inspired!

 Maybe they were hopin you'd unload it for cheap.

I'm not missing much for really, I do get out and about in some of the other rides on the farm. ....but it would be nice to 'Gitter dun'!

It's a '58 Ford 300 - the most basic of the base model. I'm just a few items short of a full build. It's getting the drivetrain from my '71 Ranchero. 429/C-6 and I'd like to get a 'Gear Vender OD' for it too, you know, so I can take it places.

Doesn't have a straight axle, but does have the "look"  358 SBC & tremec TK 500. sitting o

I'm building one for a client right now. A "bit" different though. '65 Jag E, glass front end we had shipped over from the UK, 292 GMC, 3 speed, converting it to right hand drive, monoque (sp)unibody/frame out, 2x3" frame in, custom dash made from a sheet of steel and a Fargo/Dodge cluster, 8 3/4 diff on custom made ladder bars,  straight axle of course.

It's been christened "Gas E". I'll see if I can post a couple shots later.

your client might be wise to look into insurance regulations regarding right hand drive vehicles.  i have heard (meaning i do not know this as fact) that regular insurance companies put such cars in their 'facility' group (read that as being expensive).  this might not apply to classic car insurance though (if it applies at all).  might be worth looking into.  the car i heard about this relating to is a japanese model that isnt overly old (i think it was a skyline).

 Thanks for the heads up on this one.

I had actually heard some similar rumours so I passed the info along a few months ago when we were planning the build. He spoke to his agent who looked into that concern. He was informed that wouldn't be a problem what so ever BUT you never know what other companies will say about the same question OR when they may change the guidelines. I recommended airing on the side of caution and staying left side drive but the owners felt it was part of their vision and worth the gamble & expense to have.

 

That 57 Ford is cool. I would love to see more 50s gassers,both cars & trucks. I think you can still get a front end lift kit for tri 5s.I think its a ball joint spacer and longer springs-don't know how it will handle though. A Jag gasser? That's cool-It needs a blown Hemi!
