Re: Project Goldilocks, '66 C10 SWB BBW Build
I've been following that Gasser thread on the HAMB!
Quain Stott is doing the resto work, right? I am a vintage drag race fanatic, and I have a special place in my heart for Gassers. My uncles used to campaign a D/Gas '55 Chevy back in the day, and that car got me hooked on racing. I'm looking for the car, but have turned up nothing.

Re: Project Goldilocks, '66 C10 SWB BBW Build
Ditto for me, been watching the restoration on the willys as well, I used to have a million hard pics of gassers, they were at my parents place until a wild fire took they`re home, we had a 48 anglia for about 6 years, then I sold it, started having kids....

Re: Project Goldilocks, '66 C10 SWB BBW Build
Sweet! ...thanks for sharing.
I've always wanted a Willy's. When I was a kid I had a knack for staying home sick on days when cool old car movies were on(we didn't have cable TV where I lived). One time I saw a movie where a guy wrecked his dragcar(I think it was some kind of Hemi Mopar)in the middle of a big race weekend. Anyways, he puts the drivetrain in an old Willys and continues the race. I think he wins the whole thing? I was about 8 when I saw it so I might be a little off on the details. I would love to see it again! (Sorry to highjack your highjack)... Posted via Mobile Device |

The gasser is in paint so I'll be slowing down on it, might can find time for Goldilocks now! I need to build a couple jigs for my A arms next and buy a pair of spindles and hubs. I'm planning on using factory 14.5" CTS-V rotors and six piston calipers (made by Brembo for Caddy) up front so standard spindles with cast-in caliper mounts won't work. More affordable replacement 14.5" rotors have become available so I'll be able to use those instead of 14" C6 rotors- the full pad height will be used compared to C6 rotors. McGaughy's spindles with custom caliper brackets may work too, I'll look into those and will pick either CPP or McGaughy's based on weight. If anyone is interested in going, the "Moonlighter" will be unveiled at the Greer Dragway Gassers race on May 25th.

Re: Project Goldilocks, '66 C10 SWB BBW Build
I got sucked into Gene and Quain's "Moonlighter" thread on the HAMB last night,couldn't stop once I started was up until after 1 last night went through all 58 pages, amazing build, and story. Also incredible how they managed to find, and in some cases re-acquire original parts. Can't wait to see that one completed!
