Thanks for the compliment and yes it gets a lot of looks but I just get tired of the rat rod comments lol not to mention the candy lace panel paint job that is planned would really bring it to the next level of awesome

I guess I should post some pics of my gasser I've had several still have some of them lol. The current one is a 1940 Willys pickup it has a 311 cubic inch small block Chevy 4-71 blower and a 4-speed frankland quickchange it has quarter leaf rear suspension and Chevy truck ladder bars all of it is straight outta 1963 granted it's not the prettiest thing as of yet but in due time it will be painted and done but for now it's tea and tune lol anyway here are a few pics







And one last one where I was running the hairy hauler a well know gasser from the 60's

There are no converter shops near me and I called b&m talked with don spar he chuckled said they don't do that anymore and haven't for nearly 40 years however he did send me some very necessary literature and answered some questions I had so if you have a converter shop you use I am open to sending it off just need some contact info   Thanks

Cool just need a chain drive blower!

Thanks  I would like to have one but haven't found an affordable one that was all there lol I actually looked at one about a month ago it was on a olds engine and it could not be bought plus I just couldn't bring myself to separate the setup then cut it up to make it fit the caddy however I was able to see all the internals and it wouldn't be hard to build one I just don't have time
