gasser !

I love that car. My 56would be that much cooler if it had the Plymouth frontend. It's a Plymouth in the back and a Dodge in the front...it's a Plodge!

---

56, wow! You got more pictures? What motor, trans, and rearend are you running? That's killer.

---

Thanks! (Cool Valiant, BTW). I'm running the original Poly Super Red Ram 315, but I added a D-500 intake & carb. Trans is a Powerflite pushbutton, and it is the one thing i would like to update. I'll post a few pics...

How did the term "Gasser" originate anyways?

---

Quote:

---

So, any idea what caused the prevalence of straight axles in "Gasser" classed cars? Usually it's that straight axle that makes us think "gasser" but according to that article (which was very good and appreciated, BTW) it was more a weight:CID street car class, or classes, of racing...Am I right, or did I miss something?

---

Well, think it was a case of Monkey see / monkey do?

Back then it was hard to find anything that would work as a drag tire ..Plus, gears, clutches, etc

They believed that the nosebleed stance transfered the weights better that way ..

Back in the day you were encouraged to think out of the box

What this string needs is some good looking early plymouth coupes !!!! This '34 purple one used to be mine....it's powered by a 440!

---

Thats sweet! Glad to see one thats not powered by chevy

Here is 500 of the 1,500 photos I took two months ago. Because GM and pre-War Ford is pre-filtered out to other places, many are early Mopars.

Flipper, what car did you have there?

---

I was there in a rusty chevy truck. My dodge project is nothing more than a pile of parts right now, but I'm getting ready to dig in. My tires showed up this week. 215/50/17 front 285/60/18 rear. It should have a decent rubber rake.

Quote:

---

I remember seeing that truck, wild wheel / tire combination .

---

You should see the wheels now. I actually broke down and polished them. I didn't realize how much they had oxidized in the two years that I have had them. They are mirrors now

I've been toying with the idea of selling my Dart(now that it's finally done) and buying a rod or rod project. After seeing all these pics, I think you guys pushed me over the edge. Thanks alot!! The wife's gonna shoot me

why does the grill on this dodge look different?

Hey great pics guys thought I'd add my 2 cents worth here's my 34 Plymouth with a 340-6pk set up

---

Very nice car there Joe, I love the 6 pack engine.

is that a coach and chassis body????
looks like a fun car. Ron....

Quote:

---

Thanks Ron it is a coach & chassis body - have the typical glass body issues but it's a blast to ride around in

---

way back in the day I came real close to buying one of those but went with a 41 willys convert instead, what a "BIG" mistake that was. the willys body was junk and I had to do all kinds of work to it to make it into something you could drive....
anyway I wish I would have bought the coach and chassis cabriolet instead. your looks great Ron....

I caught that in the first picture

I agree, they screwed it up.

Getting streetrodded with a SBC is way better than getting crushed or stripped down to just a cab and ratrodded (even it is mopar powered).

Conversion to a mopar engine and transmission is just the fabrication of 3 mounts, an exhaust system and a driveshaft. Be happy that somebody saved another one.

---

Richard while I agree that its good that the saved it from being crushed, I still believe that a mopar deserves a mopar in it and Yes the engine and trans could be changed fairly easy.
chevy people feel that chevys belong in everything and I just don't agree with that.

I bought a 34 chevy outlaw body years ago and when a chevy streetrod buddy of mine(he runs a streetrod shop) asked me why I bought it I told him that I had a garage full of 440s and was going to put one in it, and he went nuts saying why would you ruin a nice car like that by putting a mopar motor in it
so I said to him why is it OK to put a chevy in a mopar but I ruin a chevy by putting a mopar in it.
he said that chevys are acceptable in everything.
so I told him acceptable to chevy guys not mopar guys

that is a double standard,
chevy ok in a mopar but a mopar in a chevy is ruining the car

I put a chevy in it and sold the car, I only bought it as a money maker car

I just wish that when these guys find these mopar projects that they would at least think about putting a MOPAR in it.
I mean the mopar guys should be the ones that like seeing a mopar rod and not get turned off seeing a chevy in it.
well that my opinion. Ron.....

the 40 dodge on eBay doesn't even need mounts fab'd. it's good to go...item 390031312847 i wonder if the seller is a member of this forum.

---

the way you edited that quote looks like I said that


In no way would I "EVER" put a chevy in a mopar.
chevy in a chevy yes, chevy in a mopar, NEVER!!!!!!! Ron....



OK now some more mopar pics...
