Build story

Nostalgia Gasser built entirely at home. When I pulled in the driveway with the shell on my trailer, my wife said it looked like a clown car and the name stuck. Took 6 years to build due to 2 major constraints: time and money! I told myself I would not retire until I finished the car. I finally realized that if I didn't retire, I would never get it done. Now that it is finished, it is a great source of pride and accomplishment. Car is easy to drive and runs straight. Best time is 10.28 @128 in the 1/4 mile. car weighs 2570 pounds less driver.
