Octan Nostalgia Gasser race team featuring the all new modular gasser chassis

            New for 2017, Octan unveils its long-awaited nostalgia racing team featuring its all-new modular gasser chassis. While the cars carry no "offical" Octan logos or other branding, the paint scheme leaves no doubt who is unofficially sponsoring this team of young engineers and builders who concidentally all work together at said company. The fleet consists of the original pilot car, a 1955 Chevy; a mid-sixties compact Station Wagon of undetermined make, and a late-forties Ford coupe. The 55 and wagon feature flip-up front ends while the Ford simply needs nothing more than the hood removed. While these cars are not street legal in their race trim, there have been unconfirmed sightings of them at the late-night street races that absolutely never take place on Bricksburg's industrial West Side neighborhood on the first and third tuesdays of every month.
------------------------------------

I'd like to introduce the new modular gasser chassis that is the second in line with the modular hot rod chassis I debuted this time last year. The new gasser chassis features great flexibility to accomodate many different body styles as seen here. Wheelbase and ride height are adjustable in several ways yet they all share common mounting points. As with the hot rod chassis, wheels and engines are easily changed. The front frame clip can easily accomodate either fixed or flip-up front ends.The chassis is low enough that bodies can easily be configured to fit minifigs as these models all do. As a final note, the 55 Chevy is an update of a former build. Can you spot all the changes?
Thanks for looking, I hope you enjoy these as much as I did building them.
