I have been seeing tidbits about gassers here and there. We have had this one on the road for 4 years. We have won nummerous awards at the local car shows plus some at the Mopars At the Strip. The car was given to me by my wife for my birthday but it sat for many years due to other thing having priorty but when I finally decided the look I wanted it only took about a year to get it finished. I used a front end kit from Speedway & have been very happy with the results.

I have not had any problem with the u-joints. Have more problems getting the big bias-ply Pro-Trac tires properly balanced. I always get asked how it handles & it is no worse than the averge pick-up.

I'm glad Gassers are making a comback. The picture below yours, of the yellow Conquest that my neighbor is building, unfortunately dosn't include a shot of his Dodge Dart that he's also morphing into the Gasser look.  How are your U'joints holding up to the pinion angle?

Gassers gave the artistic seed for the future Monster Truck look (not to be confused with the statement; gassers are the reason we have monster trucks)!  Nitro-Nicky
