Nothing new.... Gassers from old were like this all the time.... I looks like a full cage is in there.... Would make a cool old school budget dragster I reckon.... Even if it's rough.... Someone needs a gasser project surely?

FUCH your early!

Yeah Col looked at it. As Pagey said, really rough, cage useless, if it was made from galvanised fence post bent over a rock it may be better, chop rough and car too. Lots of work to do anything with it.
