Ah man I love Gassers. A family member has an original Henry J (as well as some Hillman's and other weirdo stuff) on the east coast I hope to pick up some day soon. I've loved them since I was a kid.

my dad thought of doing his like that, with the mono leaf. but he's just gonna do parallel leafs. he's debating now if he was a straight or drop axle. trying to figure out how high he wants it.

pretty much my whole life. all i've ever done is work on cars. my dad has done it his entire life too, so i've been around it since day 1.
Gassers are cool and all, but are HenryJs getting harder to come by these days? Lot of them were gassed' BITD (apparently now too ). I did an image search and found quite a few cool pics of resto-mod styled J's. That would be more my taste, but hey, its your and/or your dad's car, not mine.
We set the engine in last week. It made me think of chris farley's fat guy in a little coat routine in the movie tommy boy. pics don't do the size of that engine justice sitting in a henry j engine compartment.
Came to find out it was gonna have be set back a few inches so it was centered over they front axle. Moved the axle ahead an inch as well so the engine set back wasn't huge. The recess panel isn't finished yet. My dad needs to grt the bellhousing and adapter plate to mount a muncie 4sp to the hemi. Then he can fabricating a new trans/driveshaft tunnel
I've been doing this a long time, and surprisingly, this is my first B2. Did a little trading with Eddie and got this one to mess around with. There's a good chance this may become my VONATS car for this year, but we'll see.

I will dig through my stuff and see if there is anything you might want. :mrgreen:
Seems there is a dark side to Scr8p's madness. :lol:

I like it, looks well done , aside of that grate-board it looks like a bought conversion rather than home-made. But before you PM me: I have absolutely no use for a sprint car and more ultima projects than I can digest already.
Just wanted to let you all know what's going on. So, as some/most of you know I restore cars with my dad at his house. Been doing that as my only job for the last 13 years or so. Well, the last few years has been rough with having quality...

Yes, it is a shame to see so many people impacted by this mess. I made a joke to lighten the mood, but I am certain that things will return to some kind of normal for you soon. Maybe better! 8)
Where is a good place to find new RC10 parts? (other than eBay)
I see Tower Hobbies has a lot of RC10 stuff listed including a few things I see occasionally on ebay. :roll: Are there any other retailers that have a good selection?
I don't see any rust!
