Gassers? You want Gassers? Link to gallery of every Gasser model I've ever built....
13 different gassers....157 studio-type photos...yes its the Tim Boyd history of Gasser models.

Every gasser has photos of each of the major assemblies, including closeups of those front and rear Gasser suspensions, and at least one of my favorite low-angle shots emphasizing the sometimes exagerated stance of these vehicles.
The album includes street gassers, classic drag gassers (Willys, Anglias), and the modern-bodied gassers with of the late 1960's/early 1970's.
The models were built over a period of 1966 to 2010. Yes, there are two unrestored gasser models dating from 1966. Another was started 1970 with an MPC '70 Challenger Annual Kit combined with an MPC Ohio George '69 Mustang kit, and finished around 1987. Several were built in the last five years.
I'll try to feature a single photo of each car over the next few days, for those that do not want to go to the album.
Let's start with this mashup of the Revell '57 Chevy Black Widow, AMT '55 Nomad, and Monogram '55 Chevy "BadMan" kits. This was a recent Scale Auto cover article.
Thanks for looking and enjoy.....TIM BOYD
