Yes, yes,yes,yes,yes!

[gasser59]

Yes, yes,yes,yes,yes!

yes, Yes, YES!!!

[vintagedragfan]

sounds like a couple of you might be interested in that project lol, yea he wants some old school fender well headers hangin out straight down behind the wheels

[Ognib]

_{As a gasser style car, is it going to get the tube axle?}

[vintagedragfan]

all ready has it Ray, the front end suspension is all new, its 1' 2" taller than stock LOL, he found the body in a fence row next to 2 cars that were burnt to the ground, thats why the right side looks the way it does, still a nice body though really for sitting in a fence row for years, he does beautiful restoration for a living, said he was tired of shiny and might leave it like it is and enjoy driving it, he has put the interior in it, will be a 440, 4 speed, tunnel ram with a slobbering cam

[gasser59]

Oh yeah, now that's nice. Its even a bit higher than I expected it to be. Love that stance.

[Ognib]

It's got the look, fer sure!

Got any header build pics?

No doubt your detail in 1:1 is as fine as what you do in scale.

[vintagedragfan]

Brad, Ray, thanks for the interest, I've got the right side pretty well ready to weld up, these are 3" collectors, we have some 3 1/2" on the way, they just look to skinny I think, going to run the exhaust out of the side of the collector and cap them off with wing nuts

[Ognib]

Nice!

3" tubes through the mufflers?

[Mooneyzs]

Bill... love the Gasser and header work. It looks awesome!!

[Dragfreak]

wow those headers look great!!

[TFchronos]

That looks awesome!

[Randy D]

Hey Bill, Just realized I missed an update !!! That was a nice treat , the cage work looks great Bill. Now if you will quit playing with the big stuff and get back to work The headers look sweet buddy.

Randy

[vintagedragfan]

hi Ray, yea 3" all the way

thanks Chris, all way's enjoy a challenge, I can't wait to hear them!

thanks Jason, having a little fun with it

thanks Jonathan, I appreciate it

hey Randy, little change of pace, will be back on the Cuda when I get this project done, Thanks so much my friend

[FASTBACK340]

Wow.... that is soooooo F'in cool. I know guys in the Mopar community that would have seizures seeing that car modified like that but I think it's awesome!

You certainly know how to surround yourself with interesting projects!

hi John, all of the Mopar guys can relax, we aren't hurting it at all doing this, bolt another K member under the front and weld the pieces back in I cut out for the headers and no one would ever know it was like this, it needs inner fenders on the front any way due to some rust, if you notice we didn't even cut the upper control arm shock mounts, WHICH WOULD HAVE MADE THIS A LOT EASIER!! LOL thanks for the interest John

forgot to mention it is an old drag car, it was gutted inside with a terrible roll cage, and it had (Big Smoke) lettered in big letters down each door that you can see if you get the light just right

Great work on those headers Bill they look awsome . Only if we could have as many cars as we have in the hobby room and wild projects life would be great and about 6 Pro Mods of course keep up the great work mate.

[thom hoos]

I hope this build is not stalled for to long really looking forward to seeing it done

[gasser59]

Ditto that. There's just too much good stuff here not to see it completed.

[FASTBACK340]

I know personally I build in the fall/winter because I can't enjoy the 1:1 car. Cut Bill some slack.... he'll be back. Just like Randy's wrecker. That will be back too.

Right guys?!?

[A.R.C.]

This is absolutely amazing! The chassis is absolutely impressive even if you used a styrene motor, and then when you throw in the motor that you have created............just beyond belief!! Cant wait to see it finished.

[vintagedragfan]

thanks so much for the interest guy's, just about to finish up the header's for the GTX, then I will be able to get back to the bench and make some progress! thanks again!!
