  • 69 Chevelle - Something not quite right about this Gasser

    I really like the Gasser look
    and Chevelles are my fav car but somethings not quite right about this
    Too new body style?? or just too clean ???

    First of all he got the axle widths wrong......need wider in the front & some narrowing in the back, second loose the front bumper it would look better and third get rid of the cowl hood get a stock hood cut an opening in it to have high rise coming through.
    That steely eyed look I had behind the wheel was me trying see..........

          Body style doesn't suit the look IMO.

            barf.....this think looks like it should be in East LA with hydralics and metal flake paint. Not a real SS either has a 136 vin not 138

              In my opinion, I think it's more of a "street freak" look than necessarily a gasser. Straight axle doesn't necessarily translate into "gasser." There were a lot of straight axle cars that didn't run Gas class.

              One can get away with only so many violations on a straight axle car before it gets to be gaudy. At the very least, this one needs bias ply tires, and to lose some of the '90s looking parts under the hood.

              If I were a betting man, I'd bet that this thing doesn't even run the numbers. If a typical non-gasser body style car is going to look like that, I think it should at least be well into the 11s. I'd be surprised if this thing is cracking high-12s. In my mind, certain "looks" on certain cars are only justified by the performance.

                  If you squint, it looks like a chevelle landed on a trike.

                  Hey, at least its got a big-block.

                    Big block, 4 spd, super clean. I'd go back to stock front suspension and lower the back to a reasonable level.
