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 07:47 PM.

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.....Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
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.....

Looks like "Honky Tonkin" has the spindle mount look bolt on 10 spoke wheels with front brakes???? Kewl, keeps the look plus has brakes on the front, not a bad idea....Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

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!!!!!!Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

In my humble opinion, 57's look best with the 150 Series chrome like in the second video that Don linked. When I was 16, I worked at Liberal Super Market with a guy who had a yellow '57 150. I've been in love with that look ever since.

Dave, if you like spokes, these gasser types being reproduced by ET would be perfect on that 57. They bolt on so you can run disc or drum brakes.

A guy I went to school with, Charlie Carter, wrenched on Beswick's car in the mid 60's!!!! Short little dude with one eye, you guys ever run across him out there??? After working with Beswick, Charlie came home and wrenched for the late Arnie Toftland who ran a Firebird convertible in SS!!!!Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
