Racing 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!

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?

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!
