Very cool car. Gassers are real popular right now or more accurately, the "gasser look" along with 70's "Street Freaks" style cars.

I'm building a 63.5 Galaxie Z code car, 390, 4 speed and will be more like an NHRA Jr Stocker as I don't want to run a straight axle. I am very tempted to turn it into a street freak though because I'm a big 70's guy. This one is pretty cool:

Have fun with it!

I am in the middle of doing a 52 Chevy coupe that I chopped the top dropped the sysp 4" added a 350hp 350 700R4 trans, hope to be drive'n it this summer. Also doing a resto on a 37 Plymouth pick up that's very close to being done and my next project is a 65 Malibu SS vert. It will be a pro touring resto mod with all new updated sys & LS3 6spd. Wish I could post some pics but I can't.
Glad to see a car thread on here finally.

Up here in the northeast, there's still a lot of stuff tucked away in barns. Not uncommon to find barns full of cool stuff like this. Horders of all things cool.

Hey guys any of you remember the car from American Graffiti?
My dad and I have the honor to work on this for the owner. This is fully signed by cast and crew. Doing a few changes that the owner prefers but it's legit. Very cool!
