Gassers are very cool, but I never really understood what their purpose was...<br>Does it help weight transfer to have the front jacked up like that, or is it purely a style thing?
gassers are it very cool pics<br>murray<img src="http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/tongue.gif" alt="image">
you guessed it Adam... helps the weight distribution and since the front end lifts on takeoff... they figured why not eliminate that additional step... rarelysee gassers doing wheelstands!

>>>Does it help weight transfer to have the front jacked up like that, or is it purely a style thing? >>><br><br>Actually gasser classes were based on weight per cubic inch, and the single I-beam front ends were done to reduce front end weight, and aid re-entry after awheelstand.<br><br>Jerry
Here's a VERY cool thread on the H.A.M.B. about building a '55 Gasser.<br><a target="_blank" href="http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=225171">http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=225171</a><br>Brian
Thanks Brian. That is cool.<br><br>There is so much stuff on the HAMB, that you miss different posts.<br><br>That was a good find.<br><br>Jerry
I know what you mean Jerry, step away from your computer for an hour or two and the thread you were reading is now on page 6. <img height="20" src="http://www.ezboard.com/image/posticons/pi_shocked.gif" width="20" alt="image"> If I find something I like, I save it as a favorite so I don't lose it.It's a busy board!!
WOW, that 55 is just plain wicked!
Being a fan of nostalgic drag racing I can honestly say thats the first time I had seen a 64 Impala set up that way......very cool and unique.<br>

I like those models, pretty sweet. Did anyone ever get a chance to check out that last link I posted up?
Wow, great collection, Doc Olds! Really good information too, guys. I was wondering how the gasser class was determined.
nice 55's... that oranch one is siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick!
Stumanfu55 & all thanks, I did ck out that link then links from that link there were some awesome gasser photos posted. Did you see that 60's Dodgewagon gasser simply awesome talk about unusual. Got it saved to my favorites so I can go back to look at it. I have some old Johan Dodge wagon kits might betime to turn one of those into a Gasser just too KOOOOL.

I took this picture at the annual Pumkin Run in Owensville, Ohio. I took lots of pictures that day. I used a 35mm so a lot of work would be involved in postingall the pics so I just pic and choose as the subject comes up.
