Very Kool......It lives...!!!! Kinda sounds like it could use the timing advanced to me.......But KOOL anyways ...!!!!!

Nice job.....glad it's going. Unless you're going to run it with open headers I would wait to get the exhaust on to do any major tuning. The backpressure may help it even out somewhat.

Thats why he called it a "GASSER INFLUENCED" and not a Gasser. Why you don't get that is simply amazing to me. you can paint a painting like a Picaso but it won't be a Picaso But it might have very simular characteristics and you might say " that guy must have been "INFLUENCED" by Picaso, yet it still is not a picaso, but you can see the "INFLUENCE" that picaso had on the new artists painting just as you can see many characteristics from a "GASSER" in HARDWAAs truck. In fact if it had a straight axle it would in fact "BE' a "GASSER" and not simply be "GASSER INFLUENCED" I could continue to give you many more examples of what being "INFLUENCED" means or even give you the Websters deffinition but that might become cumbersom bordering on being redundant, and I would never want to do that .

well, influenced would hafta mean that when people look at it they would hafta think of a gasser. that is more of a lowrider/rat rod influenced truck. like i said, it's cool and you did a good job just not what i (or most everybody else it seems) was expecting from the title.

nope! not a even close to a nostalgic gasser. has the exact opposite stance of a gasser. has totally different suspension than a gasser. only thing in common are a few period specific traits that were used on far more cars than gassers

you're right. i wasn't even thinkin of it having a smallblock. ok, it's a mouserod . i still love the whitewalls on the old trucks. if our 66 was mine and not my kids. this is very much the stance/look it would have. ofcourse he don't like the wide whites.
