Well, I cannot believe that I started this build thread and then kind of let it go. I guess life gets in the way sometimes.
Let's start from the beginning. The car was originally my grandfather's, and he started the gasser build on it. Here is a picture of the car back in the early '70's IIRC.
The car was his daily driver and he took it to several shows. In the early '70's he had it in the tri-state auto show in Denver, CO and driving the car home he blew the engine. The car sat for about 30 years before I started in on it. He came home one day and I was tearing into the car with parts everywhere. I'm pretty sure he was in shock, and didn't know what to say. I was 16 at the time.
I rebuilt the motor, and got it going by the time I was 18. He told me that if I got the car running again, I could have it. Well, I got it running shortly after turning 18, and it was given to me as a high school graduation present.
Here is a picture of the engine:
The car has 56,000 original miles on it.
