Title: Gasser?
Post by: black93lx on February 27, 2007, 11:08:51 PM
Just wondering if I'm the only one that thinks it be cool to make a 86tc into a gasser. For those who are not familiar witha gasser I'll show you a mopar one. I'm tempted to do it on the 86 I just picked up. Its a stripped car for drag racing any ways so why not.

I'm picking the car up tomorrow. For now I'll run a 5.0 and c4 and some nitrous when I some extra money. But once I get my other project done I think I'll make it a gasser. Might be awhile since my other project, 69 satellite, still needs the qtrs put on and then paint. But once thats done the tc is going to be a gasser. I need to start taking some measurements so I can find the right axle for the front.

My dad was once talking about doing up a fox mustang with an altered wheelbase and a straight axle in the front, all old school style. One of those kinda cool to see things, but kinda pointless at the same time.

I think any "aero" car would look kinda odd as a gasser, but I suppose I could be wrong :dunno:

You gonna build a new front subframe for it so you can run a straight axle with leaf springs? :hick:

Well first of all, that's not a gasser.  It's an A/FX car with an altered wheelbase.

Here is some info on what made up a "gasser" by year.
http://www.radicaldecals.com/gasser_classes.html

What are you thinking about doing it?  Altered wheelbase?  Jacked up stance?  That's not going to be easy to do.  The old gas-class cars would use straight axles for height, simplicity, and light weight.  I think that's gonna look a little odd on an aero car since by the time they debuted, stink-bug stance and straight axles were ancient history.  But whatever blows up your skirt..

i'm no photoshop guru so its kinda crude. I pictured it looking cooler. maybe I'll just keep it low in the front like it currently is. leave well enough alone.

Your girl has a great butt.  Nice!

Hey here's a Tbird "gasser".  I didn't stretch the wheelbase because it would be nearly impossible to do with a car that has that many compound curves.  The old straight bodies of the '60s made that surgery much easier.

Knock yourself out...
