Royal Sierra Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 I can't wait to see the finished product. I love gassers and 520/521s and never thought what it might be like to put the two together. Awesome build man 1 Quote Link to comment

spdcrazy Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 cool spring sliders! never thought about setting them up that way. should look clean, not that the attention will be there with that 400 under the hood and giant slicks! 2 Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 hey guys, probably thought i gave up or died I was begining to wonder. Glad to see some progress. 1 Quote Link to comment
520 gasser Posted April 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 The sliders came into play only because I could not get the ride hight I wanted on the truck. I whent spring under with long shackles and still sat to low, so i whent spring over and it sat about 4 inches to high. Now im spring over with the sliders at the rear but they also help on hard take offs because the spring can't flex to the side like it can with a shackle 1 Quote Link to comment

thisismatt Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 Very nice welds! Curious what wire/gas? Looks like good penetration without too much heat... 1 Quote Link to comment
mcordero8 Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 That thing is going to be so freaking ridiculous when its done. Can't wait to see it done. 1 Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 I haven't seen one of those shifters in a long time. Pretty tuff to miss a shift with those. :thumbup: 1 Quote Link to comment
520 gasser Posted March 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 I have wanted that shifter for so long. The wlder was a lincoln 100 with .025 wire and 75% argon 25% co2 gas mix. Should be fun I have been pushing it around the shop and it won't trun just pushes the front tires at full lock and they are about 4 inchs wider than the ones I got for it 1 Quote Link to comment
520 gasser Posted May 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 Hey guys still working on this thing even if it's not 100% right and I have to remember do part of it. So what I have been doing is making the ladder bars and brackets on the axle. And checking that the axles will slide into the new center section after straightening the axle Hey guys still working on this thing even if it's not 100% right and I have to redo part of it.

520 gasser Posted May 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2022 It's been a while since I was last on been working on the gasser. A lot has gone on over the year. Pulled the body back off and reworked the frame. Changed the 400 small block chevy out for a lq4 6 litter ls motor. Have plenty of parts save up over ther years and now am working on getting this thing back on the road. Will work on getting some pictures up soon 2 Quote Link to comment

520 gasser Posted May 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2022 (edited) It's a snug fit in the front working on getting the radiator fitted. Once I can fit a fan and rad it should Stat moving pretty fast. Have the fule cell I converted to in tank pump made and waiting to go in and a holley terminator x harness all the fule and brake lines. Pretty much everything to make it start up. Sorry for the pics being dubbled tried editing it to get rid of 1 dubble post and it just keeps adding them Edited May 26, 2022 by 520 gasser 1 Quote Link to comment
