Li'l Gasser

Flyin' Fickle Fuler of Fresno

Original year: 1970, Designer: John Bogosian

No fuelin'

Lil' Gasser is designed to light your fire!

It's a show 'N' go octane machine loaded with fun features!

F'rinstance:

- Authentic "oily American" styling

- "pumphouse" cab

- big "pollution solution" tank

- "fuels rush in" filler caps

- brute boots up front joined by a dropped tube axle

- four-track superwide slicks in back for a boss bite

- super "nitro nibbler" Ford overhead cam engine, muscled up by an "emission impossible" blower/injector combo and "flameout" exhaust headers

This is my version.

While starting and painted, it spent a few years in the box, because missing parts blocked the assembly.

The mods: Front lowered, aluminum mesh in the cooler, wired motor, windshield bracing made from 1mm chrome steel wire, modified wheels from LEGO, red LEDs as back lights.

Hope, you like it.
