    I thought I had the video, but I looked and I have American Graffiti instead. Not sure if it is out in general distribution. I will have to ask my one Son, as he seems to find these things and has a lot of them.

    As for cutting up your Chevy, you sort of have to do that to build a gasser. I know some were sort of stock looking with maybe slicks and headers, but when I hear "gasser" and ' '55 Chevy", certain elements come to mind............high stance, hood scoop or blower peaking through hood, tube axle front end, ladder bars, stripped out for light weight, and fenderwell headers. Granted, that is sort of profiling and generalizing, but fits my description. Evidently, you have some idea of what you want, what will yours look like?
