I edited one of my posts above to put up the Scribner car.........quintessential in my mind, but then, that's because we both ran at San Fernando, and they rocked!!!
There's a couple pages on Byrons site of just tri-five gassers.
Man, you guys put up a lot of stuff while I was huntin' pics.....

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Glad to hear this Dave. Man this will be way cool drop me a note on its first Race Day and I'll be there---Anywhere---to watch her run down the track.
Besides it seems like I remember a feller telling me once that something like this would be better than watching Soap Operas, wonder who that was?????
Here's a few pictures to get the blood to pumping.....

".......once ya get it, ya can't stand to sell it!!!!! Bet I'm not the only one who has that problem!!......"
Remember me, I building a "parts car"
Very cool Dave. I'm just a couple years younger, so I remember the ladder bars, big blocks, tunnel rams and steel tilt front ends mostly (it was the bucks up guys running the fiberglass and blowers).
Can't wait to see this come together (whatever direction)!!!!!!!I've NEVER seen a car come from the factory that couldn't be improved.....

Now you have me with gasser fever, Dave. Man, I love those things. They are just so animated, noisy, rude, and cooooooooool.
Here are a couple of trifive Chevy gasser videos to stoke the fire.

Oh, BTW, Sun is now reproducing the Sun tachs from that era. I just bought one for my 27 and it is exactly like the ones from the 60's.
This thread has all the makings of a winner..........toss in a couple of dog or cat pictures, and a few of Bobs cuties, and you will have something here. LOLLast edited by Itoldyouso; 10-25-2010 at 08:47 PM.

HRP, Shake, Rattle, and Run looks to have a bunch of engine set back---any idea what year the picture was taken? The drag racer in me sez the engine set back has got to help a bunch with the launch on a tall old gasser. and the ladder bars look like they come dang near to the front of the door?
Now, if I just knew an artist type painter that could put the side trim on in paint and not chrome pieces!!!!!!
