Didn't know you were so into the Gasser's!!!

I like real gassers. ...Not so much into the pretend-gassers (the rambler with the dual quads was a 16 second car). In my opinion, something that looks like a full-on drag car ought to run like it. ...but a guy building pseudo-gasser is better than letting an old car rot or get crushed.

They were out there enjoyong THEIR cars and that's what is important.

Love those Flacon Gassers.I bought a 1960 falcon with intent of making street gasser back in 2005.My friends talked me into restoring it instead.
Very expensive and when I got through,all I had was 6 cyl falcon, that was Very slowwwwwwww.
If I ever get lucky enough to get another falcon,it is going gasser.[

Hey, Old Iron, my 51 L130 Int'l didn't even have hinges at all. It had two levers that released the hood , and it just came off. hahahaha

The show was Cruisin' The Heartland. It's in it's 2d year. We went last year & had a great time. The organisers didn't expect it to take off like it did.
