The classic Gasser look is accomplished by the sky-high posture of the 'rails and body. In '60s drag cars, the radically raised position and soft suspension helped transfer weight to the rear, even if it didn't do much for aerodynamics. Jimmy Shine nailed the nose-in-the-air attitude. Even after the grille-less 150 body is back on this chassis, the Moon tank and front suspension will still be easy to see. A spindle-mounted 12-spoke with no front brakes would've looked cool, but since Todd is planning on driving the car in traffic-where brakes come in handy-Jimmy added Wilwood disc brakes. He finished the rotors in black with a chrome mounting plate, and machined the hubs to match the profile of the wheels. The E-T Gasser aluminum 10-spokes are five-lug bolt-ons with a full flange to accommodate the brakes. The front tires are 560-15 Pro-Tracs. View Related Article
