Sorry, that's just the name of the file : "RonF" = Ron Fleming (among whose photos it was...); "501" = Number of the scan; "LR" = Low Resolution!Keep guessing... ;D Title: Re: So, whose Gasser did this become… Post by: guillaume on March 21, 2008, 01:44:42 am I would say "Tuff E Nuff" as the ragtop cut seems to be quite the same and it has the same kind of rollcage.
But what do you think of "1 Ned Bug" ? ??? but the ragtop cut seems to be a little smaller. Title: Re: So, whose Gasser did this become… Post by: j-f on March 21, 2008, 08:26:16 am Lighting bug? ???

Title: Re: So, whose Gasser did this become… Post by: dirk zeyen on March 21, 2008, 13:10:43 pm the man could be greg aronson, and the car is tar babe in the work, dechromed, the same cage and rear decklied...

Title: Re: So, whose Gasser did this become… Post by: Black Sheep on March 21, 2008, 23:09:16 pm Having looked at all the evidence presented , I personally believe its the Anderson Bros. , if you take a very close look at the rear corner of the drivers side rear window it has a funny quirk in it almost straight section where it was cut and chopped , the Anderson car seams to have the same abnormality .

Title: Re: So, whose Gasser did this become… Post by: deano on March 24, 2008, 16:03:25 pm I would say Lightning Bug. Probably not. If you look at the photo closely, you will notice the guy with the long hair has his arm leaning against the car, usually a sign that this is HIS car. Now, the Schley bros, NEVER had that much hair, even if you took hair from both of them together! Also, this car came out in this early form with stock wheels on the back, and chromies on the front. None of the big name brand guys with a chop top would have done this. They all started with a stock roof, and then went to a chop. And by then, they had the light weight wheels (DDS or BRMS, etc). Hard to say who this is/was..... Title: Re: So, whose Gasser did this become… Post by: Lids on March 24, 2008, 16:10:03 pm goofy grape?
Title: Re: So, whose Gasser did this become… Post by: deano on March 24, 2008, 16:26:08 pm Here is my vote.... Notice the shape of the rear window, and sides. Also, look at the decklid year. I also think the number on both cars is a clue (6094 and 264)... 1964? And...... look at the rear apron... The center cut-out for the stinger!!!!
Title: Re: So, whose Gasser did this become… Post by: Fastbrit on March 24, 2008, 23:30:24 pm No, I don't think so...look at the outer edges of the rear window. The mystery machine has straight sides to the window, whereas $umFun has very curved sides. ;D

Title: Re: So, whose Gasser did this become… Post by: Rick Meredith on March 25, 2008, 19:10:16 pm Looks like the sunroof is larger on the mystery gasser though. Look at the distance between the end of the sunroof and the windshield.

Metric Mouse seems to be near the car on pics but it's not sure... So now, question is : who really knows which car is it ?
