SOUTHEAST GASSER 50 CHEVY WHEEL STANDER PROJECT
Published on 3/5/2020
Every winter I try to do something to improve the 11 Southeast Gasser Association races. One of the major problems that all elimination style races have is down time between the quarter finals.
So we need something to act as a filler while the cars still in competition cool down for the next round. Problem is we are trying to keep the fans at every SEGA race in a 1967 atmosphere. So what ever we use for a filler has to fit the 1967 era. This project is the start of my idea of what a 1967 wheel stander would have been like back then. Our last idea of a filler was the Super Stock class but it got so popular we had to make it a class in 2019. Could the same thing happen to the wheel stander, I guess time will tell.This is going to go a little slow it's in real time.
This body was so rusty the chassis right behind the cab had rusted into and broke when we was loading it. Talk about saving one that was on it's way to the crusher.
First step was to get it all apart and cut out what was left of the old floor that we wasn't going to need anyway. My right hand man Tom White handling that.
There is more to this story......coming soon!
