Gasser Brakes

Today’s we’re doing all the plumbing of the brakes, the fuel system, the trans cooler, but we’re most excited about the 496 big block Chevy backed up by the Powerglide transmission!

To get the nose-up drag car look that we wanted for our Week to Wicked Nova project, we used one of our Gasser Axle kits. These bolt on in place of the stock front clip and instantly transform the car, making it look like it rolled right out of the 60's!

Here's another in our ongoing series featuring our customers' cars and projects. Chris's Willys coupe is the gasser that he's always wanted, and it's a knockout.

Gassers were those wild drag cars from the 60's that featured outrageously tall stances, big unruly powerplants, and huge slicks to propel them down the track. But just how did these insane creations come to be, and where did they go?

Our stock 1967 Chevy II Nova rolled into MotorTrend Group's Santa Ana Tech Center this morning and we won't sleep until it's 1960's drag strip ready!

Scott's "Nemesis" '55 is a time machine that transports everyone around it back to the glory days of drag racing.

Our Week to Wicked Nova makes some serious power. We selected a few parts that will put all that power to the ground and withstand the abuse.

We have a full day ahead of us with the radiator core support, getting all the sheet metal back on, and wiring the engine. Check out day three of our Chevy II Nova Gasser build!

This veteran of the legendary "gasser wars" of the 60s looks right at home in the Museum of American Speed.

Our Chevy II Nova Gasser is looking like a real car! Today we're jumping into more wiring, interior, steering column, and wheels and tires.
