Re: Project 69 Blown Gasser!
So glad I found this build, I've been tossing the idea of doing a gasser build with my 68, but hadn't seen anyone try it yet. I love it and I think you just sold me on the idea.

Re: Project 69 Blown Gasser!
Glad you like it. I tossed around the idea of going with a straight axle front but didn't.

Re: Project 69 Blown Gasser!
I have both a factory ifs front end and a straight axle out of a mid 40s Chevy truck. My truck was originally a 4x4 K20 so the straight axle will be pretty easy to do and I believe that is the route I'm heading in, but I'm sure the ifs would be a lot nicer to drive.

Re: Project 69 Blown Gasser!
Cut the door bottoms and had them sand blasted. Plan to spray some epoxy primer in the next few days.

Re: Project 69 Blown Gasser!
Getting a little closer to being done. Covered the inside door panels with copies from old drag racing magazines to match the headliner.

Re: Project 69 Blown Gasser!
Your truck is looking really good. What size front tire are you running. And how does the blown big block sound?

Re: Project 69 Blown Gasser!
I noticed you did some header work after you painted them, around the steering. Do you have any pictures of that.

Re: Project 69 Blown Gasser!
Sorry, I don't have any pictures of the header mods. I started with a set of BBC fenderwell headers for a 55 Chevy. I had to cut them at the head flange and raise them and then cut and angle both collectors. Probably would have been better off to start from scratch.

Re: Project 69 Blown Gasser!
Got the OEM bedsides sandblasted on the inside and ready for epoxy primer. Also put a finish on the bed wood awhile ago.

Re: Project 69 Blown Gasser!
Any chance you posted pictures or a how to anywhere on the web about how you did your tach and gauge panel with the stars and stripes? Tach looks like a Garlits version. I have a couple of old tachs and would love to try that paint job out myself.
Thought you might like a picture of one part of my shop. Pic from back when I first did it. I put the covers on sort of like a craft person does Mod Podge. I used water thinned Elmers Glue. Shops a huge mess now
