1st Annual Franken Gassser Fright-Fest
She probably ain't the prettiest. She certainly ain't the fastest. But she's ready to race!
- Love it!!! Nice work... — CraigsterSr
- YO HO HO and a bottle of rum... love the ghostly pirate theme! — Sunshine_City_Garage
- Thanks! Might lower the skeleton to be more flush to the hull, but it's pretty much done — StrayDog
On dark cloudy nights, deep in the pine and palmettoes of Central Florida that line Mulberry Lane you can hear a low rumble of an engine approaching. Those brave - or foolish- enough to walk the road on such a night have claimed to have seen The Spectre Hearse, the ghostly gasser. Eerie blue green light illuminates the gloomy landscape as the Spectre crests over Spook Hill, racing from who knows where back to the finish line at the entrance to the netherworld. As it passes you snarling and roaring with the fury of Hell itself, you may catch a glimpse of the casket of the last hitchiker careless enough to accept a ride from a stranger...
- Sweet! Love the casket! — StrayDog
- Awesome back story and Spooky Ride... Well Done! — CraigsterSr
- Absolutely wild! — Moparius
- Dude, what in the hell was that before you started doing all the wild modifications? — SpyDude
- Spydude, before it crossed over to the netherworld it was a hot wheels Ghostbusters ecto-1. The spirits were quite happy to get their hands on it... — Sunshine_City_Garage
- Looks so cool and spooky! — Joyful_Noise_Racing
- That's a work of art! Major props!! — Zamak_Speed_Shop
- If there’s a best in show, this has my vote — RLoRacing
- Holy Hell-shit. — AbbyNormal
- Thanks for all the great compliments everyone! — Sunshine_City_Garage
Would like to join in on the fun, my entry isn't spooky but's a Gas-ser! Here's a couple of pics with a non modded version next to it. Hopefully it can make it in time.
- Heck Yea! Looks GREAT! — CraigsterSr
- That looks great! Is it the Volvo gasser base? — Moparius
- Yes sir, it sure is the volvo gasser base. The rivet mounts lined up perfectly. The "engine" is from the Nova Wagon gasser. — Joyful_Noise_Racing
- CraigsterSr, thank you kindly for the compliments. However, it will be arriving with some chips and road rash. Unavoidable consequence of testing after it was painted, instead of before, lol — Joyful_Noise_Racing
- Nice! — StrayDog
Unfortunately life got in the way and I was unable to complete my build, so I'll be sitting this one out.
Good to luck to all who enter. I've seen some great looking builds so far!
-Z-
I'm so sad I missed this. The car I built was too fragile to send and broke as I was wrapping it up. This was going to be named the Franken Mini.
Frankly I can't believe this has come together so well at least in my opinion. Next step is to ensure it goes fast and straight if possible. It's just about ready to bolt together and hit the track. Fully weighted. There have been some close calls along the way, but hopefully I can finish it by Friday evening.
