Title: Prefect Gasser Post by: customFC on February 29, 2004, 01:26:41 PM Here's a little Prefect I did. For those that don't know, a Prefect is an Anglia sedan (4 doors). The most famous of the Prefect Gassers was campaigned by Ohio George, "Hurst's Gasser Passer". Anyway, here's my take on a 60's style gasser.

Chassis: HW Morris Minor. Interior: HW Morris Minor. Engine: HW Way2Fast Wheels: JL w/ MB Rubber on rear. I'm not 100% happy yet, may do some parts over.

i never managed to cross that bridge into "scale rodding". and am always impressed how kits/parts can be mixed/matched to make something that looks exactly like it should be. nice one. Cheers Ed Title: Re: Prefect Gasser Post by: HARKO on September 30, 2004, 09:19:57 PM Christ you must be a man with patience Alex, Im totaly amazed at what you acheive with such tiny cars.
When Hadfeild had that sign made up for his wall I wonder if he had these in mind. The man with the most cars/toys wins. Did you see that EK model on ebay ? I won it ,and its about the only toy Ive ever bought that I was just going to pay whatever it cost - the type of ebayer that every seller loves hehe. A mate reckons these have metal wheels and bars Youd be more clued in than me ? And how do ya reckon youd go replicating my Ute ?

That is a cool model. Reports say that the shape is not 100% exact, but cool all the same. The scale is a bit big for my tastes, I have been working in 1/64 scale like the Prefect above. As a matter of interest, I have pulled the prefect apart to alter the chassis. I want the side pipes to be a bit shorter. (knowing me it may never go back together :D) Always working on something.....just drilled a GTO apart to try something different. I will post pics when gone. Gotta finish a T model that has me bogged down first. Regards Alex Title: Re: Prefect Gasser Post by: golden_lion on December 29, 2005, 10:56:42 AM i really like the way that car looks, almost reminds me f a willies gasser. Youve done a great job.
