I’ve drove by this car a hundred times and said i need to stop in and buy that but I’d figured they’d never sell it so i drove on.... guess i should of stopped. Also love the south east gassers it’s an awesome group of people doing awesome things
I’ve learned that lesson the hard way myself.............several times over the years! Even if they say no the first 5 times, îts still best to stop In and check on it every 6 months or so especially if the cad is just sitting there Nd not actively being built You never know when someone’s circumstances or plans happen to change and you wanna be the one to be there to “help” them when those plans do change!
Back in 66-67 My neighbor had a "J" Bonneville racer with Allison Airplane engine..6-7 race plaques on dash and a long monster arm down the sides holding an eyeball..ILLOVED THIS CAR as a kid...often wondered what happened to it..
When it rains, it pours! Rat Rod Bob recently got a 51 Henry J and is starting his build also. I love those things and it’s a shame they rust so bad cause no telling how much history we’ve lost thrust the years just due to rust! I’m glad you were able to snag this one and it should prove to be a fun project!! Can’t wait to see the progression!!
Nice cars. There is 3 of them within 5 miles from my house here in Maryville Tenn. Not sure if there for sale but looks like there in good shape. Thanks for the videos !!!!
Keep on keepin' on!! About two or so years ago, the missus and i stopped by the GGB vista point en route to see family. On the way out, a truck and trailer went by with a Henry J 'project' in tow. Blew me away.
Drove by that car almost every day, nice to learn a little about it. I can remember a couple Henry j's your dad had years ago. I've always had a thing for them myself.
I sure wish I could get my dad's old Henry J back. He had it in the '70s and '80s. It was called Dr. Feelgood at first, but then he made it a street car and painted it white. He traded it to Buddy Sinclair for another Henry J. Buddy still has my dad's old car. Neat piece for sure...it's been in his garage for lots of years.
@@HotRodHoarder I remember the white one, had a flame job on it. I think he had one that was orange after that. I used to hang around his shop and drool over the cars.
I just commented on your other project and am pleased to see you are on a J. That is the first car I built for the strip before I went off to the Navy and eventually Vietnam also. Have fun with it and I'm sure you will do it justice!
do you have any more videos on the henry j yet ,,i have bought a 50 chevy coupe thinking about building an old gaser with it,got every thing but the front axle,,,
That’s gonna be an awesome gasser build!! Your very passionate about your cars! I can appreciate that! I built several Henry J model cars as a kid but I’ve never had the opportunity to have my hands on one for real..... maybe one day lol
It was definitely a cool build. I ended up selling it though...too many projects and not enough space to keep them all. I didn't want it to continue getting rustier out in the weather.
Hot Rod Hoarder Yeah sometimes it is better just to move the project along I’ve had to do that a few times in my life it sucks but maybe the next guy will get a chance to wrench on it 👍🏻
I see the Hurst verti-gate shifter. In high school my town had a big long main street - 3 miles, maybe? At the south end you would loop around a fountain and at the north end you would hang a right into the parking lot of the drive-in restaurant and loop back to head back down main street. One saturday night my buddy managed to borrow the hottest car in town - 67-ish Mopar, maybe a Belvedere. It had a 4 speed with the verti-gate shifter. My buddy gets up into 3rd gear and can't figure out how to get BACK TO 2nd/1st gears! So, he spent saturday night slipping the clutch like a mad man at both ends of main street! Good times.
Mopar 8 3/4 hopefully it has the 489 case “last digits in the casting #” but no matter what case it is they’re a good rear end if it’s out of an old A body they can be pretty valuable
Thanks Cody! Unfortunately, I sold this car to fund another project. We have another Henry J project in the works though...stay tuned for a video about that one.
I’ve always loved gassers. I grew up in the 60’s when they were popular. I’m anxious to see what you do with it. How about digging up a 409. Now that would be really cool.
an okd friend of mine had one of these in the 80s with a 427 blown hemi in it, the engine sat partially in the car with a plexiglass cover for it so u could still see it it was very fast n very cool!
Nice to see another Henry J enthusiast. I hope to start a '51 HJ street rod in the spring. Narrowed 9", 327 SBC with 65cc heads and a nice Howard's cam in front of a 700R4. Just going to be a nice cruiser/grocery-getter. Looking for 370-400 horse. Good luck!
I can't believe you have that car and that it's a Gasser. Being that my last name is Kaiser, I've always had a thing for those cars, as well as for any Gasser. Like you know there weren't too many Kaisers that survived. I may be wrong but I don't think there were as many sold here in California as other parts of the country. Ever since I was about four or five years old, I remember looking through Hot Rod magazine and any other car (and Playboy etc...) that my Dad had or friends dads or older brothers had and would even go to the library and find books and magazines of hot prodding and racing. The open wheel Indy or GT cars of the 1960s, and the dragsters and funnycars, Big Daddy Don Garlits and Don the Snake Prudhomme were the Snake and Mongoose and the big deal. But I always loved the Gassers and the econorails. They just threw caution and convention to the wind or so it seemed when you're in 1st and 2nd grade. Your videos stir up some great memories from my childhood and my teenage and my 20s years when cars and motorcycles were a big part of my life. Growing up in L.A. was awesome for cars. My mom knew the Iskendarians and the shop is still there today about 2 miles from my parents house, with everything inside and the sign outside but has been closed a long time. One of the best custom header maker for Hedman, Bob McGuy is older than I but my sister's friend and his mom and my mom were friends when we were all growing up I think she baby sat me and my brother a few times, the Paisano Bros racing, one of the brothers lived a couple of blocks away from me and their daughter is friends of my sisters and we also grew up with and are still friends with Cindy Halibrand, her father is the racing wheel King as you well know. My dad's best friend for many years is one of the old school off-road racers that raced the Baja and Parker Dam, Ensenada, MexiCali way back in the late 60s early 70s and Parnelli Jones, James Rockford Files Gardner, and other big names were racing and they had no prerunners or helicopter chase teams with spare parts and mechanics. We would go to the races and camp out at the start/finish line area and we'd ride our trail 50s or yz 80 and xr 75s waiting for the the first of the cars to start crossing the finish line or who was broken down and didn't make it to a certain checkpoint. Our moms would make us clean out our closets of toys we didn't play with and any old clothes before every race so that they could visit a couple of families that helped our friend's car when it broke down in the middle of nowhere. That's who your team was. The poor, locals who lived in the middle of the desert that the course went past their land or through it and they would be out there helping racers out with whatever tools and parts they may have. So to pay them back with a little money, we weren't rich by any means, some clothes, toys, some canned food, because these people were dirt farmers, poor. So that's just naming a few people and things I was raised around. There's more but too much written already
Awesome fined guy. Those tail lights bring back memories. They are 51' Buick, I had those on my 29 ford cabriolet on 32' rails. Miss that car. Sold it to move with my gf at the time to NYC. Big mistake lol. Anyways live and learn.
Love your vids. Yes south east gassers is cool organization. They use the rules from 1967 rule book. Great group of people. In texas we have shra ( south west heritage racing ) and jr fuel. We run a 1969 front engine digger " big show" it's a car run built on a woody Gilmore chassis. Ran In top fuel in the day. We also have a thing called funny car chaos. Lots of guys are going back to nostalgia. Best cars ever built were couple guys on a budget. And family backing. Not big sponsors and tv money. My partner in crime sent me to your channel. Ty
Gotta love Henry J's! I unfortunately sold this car to fund another project. But I do have another Henry J that I'll be shooting a video on soon. It's a pretty wild one.
Thanks for watching Charles...this Henry J went to a new owner, but we still have another J in our collection...I hope to put a video together about that car soon.
Looks like it has dirt track rear tires poss off a Sprint car or late model col ass car tho enjoy the build I subscribed to your channel thanks for sharing with us brother..Les
Thanks Les! Yeah, the rear tires were from a dirt track car...they filled out the wheel openings nicely, but a regular drag racing slick would've been more appropriate.
My Mom had a 1951 Henry J in the 1950's. It was all original and it was a maroon color. Later, my Dad bought her a 1951 T-Bird and he sold the Henry J to a kid in town who promptly crashed it and rolled it. He was OK but the J was crumpled. Dad got a new car every 2 years because he was a salesman for AGWAY, and drove a lot. I wish he had kept the Henry J for me and I was in my early teens.
I don't know were you live but there are 3 junk yards in California that have all the parts to build a Henry J Gasser. I'll let you find them all I can say is there all in driving range of LA and they are a Gasser paradise all three are on my must buy from list before I die . No they don't have web pages the owners are old guys
It's,a mopar 83/4" rear end and good for about 450 maybe 500 hi but if your running 4speed with a high winding sbc with dumping the clutch at 7k on up if your getting any traction at all now w 819 case and some Mark Williams axles they hold decent I tell ya it has changed so much and I just love the thoughts of these gasers coming back around I have all kinds of the old stuff I have hung onto for my some thing like all the cast iron #186 #491 #291 and #292 and I have a set of ole 041x heads that I,angle plugged them that I have been gonna get rid of but guys like myself are gonna need em again cuz I am gonna build my daddy a gasser he's 77 and has tge fever you know he does when he's wanting to remaking my high 5 low 4 second corvair that has a tube chassis all the electronics and has we had just been grudge racing it I said woah there pops will will have you a gasser built fast but don't even scratch that car! He's excited about the southeast gasers I wish you all the best of luck in the world and if ya get thread of it please let me know I would love to have if for my daddy!! God bless and good luck ill be watching!!
Hey Mark, long time no see! I hope you're doing well. The Corvette is running pretty good at the moment...it was down for almost a year, but I was able to fix a lot of stuff that I had been putting off for a while.
Sounds great! We moved to SW Florida. Great weather all year. 3 dragstrips near by. There is a cruise in you can go to just about every day of the week. Also bought a house on the water. Can go boating all year.. You have some awesome videos.@@HotRodHoarder
Yes sir, most Henry J's have them. I don't know why the floors rust out on these thing so badly, compared to other cars of this generation. Must've been thinner metal or bad choice of rust preventative measures from the factory.
Rear looks like 8 3/4 Mopar - tough as nails. Will take any HP an SBC will make. Don't recognize the front axle ... Cool car and great project. Build it with a 40 over 283 and spin the bejesus out of it. You'll be period correct - SEGA here you come :D
Want those just made a few years .my gradpaw took the motor out of one of them and put it in a jeep and just took the old body and pushed it over the hill it sat there probably 20 year or longer and this one dum!!$. Took a axe and chopped it up and sold it for scrap about 10 year ago
if ya can fine parts like the rubber around the glass and things > Have to make it >Way it is now! would have to get threw the whole car body and all redo and fix BIG BIG PROJECT> i would just make a rat rod be done with it
Hate to bust your bubble but not many cars in se gasser association are period correct, because after market is cheaper than actually go find and use the correct 60s parts and i know that is the truth!
Allstate was just a re-badged Henry J. No structural differences between the two. This car is an early Henry J (built a year before Allstate was debuted) as it has no trunk.
So, you wanted something with racing history but change the front end, the rear end and the engine... seems a shame to me as most of the history will be gone and you’ll just have a bitsa (a bit of this, a bit of that....) and it becomes something it never was, or could have been at the time. Just my opinion, of course!
I’ve drove by this car a hundred times and said i need to stop in and buy that but I’d figured they’d never sell it so i drove on.... guess i should of stopped. Also love the south east gassers it’s an awesome group of people doing awesome things
I’ve learned that lesson the hard way myself.............several times over the years!

Love to see young guys,bringing us old guys cars back to life!
Back in 66-67 My neighbor had a "J" Bonneville racer with Allison Airplane engine..6-7 race plaques on dash and a long monster arm down the sides holding an eyeball..ILLOVED THIS CAR as a kid...often wondered what happened to it..
Oh wow, I bet that was wild!
@@HotRodHoarder last time I saw it, was off dewberry trail in merrietta ga. It had the largest tunnel I have ever seen in a car...
I love the look of those Henry J's they are cool cars and make bad ass gasser for sure
Im just now going thru your videos found this one of the Henry J . My uncle had one when I was a kid about 50 years ago .
I've always had a thing for Henry J's. My dad had a Henry J drag car in the '70s and seeing old pictures of that got me hooked on them.
Looks like a Mopar 8 3/4 rear end. That is an awesome little Gasser. Hope you document the build, that would be fun to watch.
That's An Awesome Henry J Gasser!!! ❤️😀
The rear End looks to be a 8 3/4 Chrysler they hold up well
I was gonna say that’s what it looks like to me, looks the same as my 8 3/4’s I’ve had
I think this Henry j is a good looking car, nice to see you building it.
When it rains, it pours! Rat Rod Bob recently got a 51 Henry J and is starting his build also. I love those things and it’s a shame they rust so bad cause no telling how much history we’ve lost thrust the years just due to rust!

Nice cars. There is 3 of them within 5 miles from my house here in Maryville Tenn. Not sure if there for sale but looks like there in good shape. Thanks for the videos !!!!

Yes, the Henry J that he got in the trade with Buddy Sinclair was orange. Not sure where that one ended up.
I would love to find a 4 speed inline shifter. My brother had one in a camaro when I was a youngan. He could really bang thru the gears.
I just commented on your other project and am pleased to see you are on a J. That is the first car I built for the strip before I went off to the Navy and eventually Vietnam also. Have fun with it and I'm sure you will do it justice!
do you have any more videos on the henry j yet ,,i have bought a 50 chevy coupe thinking about building an old gaser with it,got every thing but the front axle,,,
That used to sit down there right past Sue Ann's
51'H.j is my favorite year. That fact that it's a fast gasser is even better!.
That short wheelbase is going to be a handfull at the track. Love it!
just bought a 1957 150 gasser myself. had been sitting since mid 70's. Really cool old front axle set-up that i never seen before.
That's awesome Lee! I love seeing the unique ways that people built hot rods and drag cars back then.
Got a set of Power Pack heads on it. Cool ride!
That’s gonna be an awesome gasser build!! Your very passionate about your cars! I can appreciate that! I built several Henry J model cars as a kid but I’ve never had the opportunity to have my hands on one for real..... maybe one day lol

Good deal, I'll be tuned in :)
Another cool find!
We have a local Henry j drag car that comes to our track
Holy Shit! Yeah! There's a guy here in Tyler Texas building one of these for the street. Thanks for a FUN channel!🏁🏆🤙
Thanks for watching Charles...this Henry J went to a new owner, but we still have another J in our collection...I hope to put a video together about that car soon.
Oh, that looks like a Mopar rear end.
Would love to have one in original condition. Great styling!
That ought to be bout as easy do find as baby hens teeth that fall out when their big teeth come in, lol 😂 will keep my fingers crossed for ya tho
Good luck building it
Finish it. !
Keep it up,nice henry J
im sitting here going hey , i know that car . and you said Knoxville TN . and that's it !
Wish I knew where it ended up. Sold it a while back.
Love love love it ...great vid ...new sub here ..keep up the great work brotha ....
Looks like it has dirt track rear tires poss off a Sprint car or late model col ass car tho enjoy the build I subscribed to your channel thanks for sharing with us brother..Les
Thanks Les! Yeah, the rear tires were from a dirt track car...they filled out the wheel openings nicely, but a regular drag racing slick would've been more appropriate.
What intake is that?
I remember these from the 60's love them,you have a great project going here!
I have another of those V-Gate 4-spd shifters if you.need it.
I currently have acquired this car, do you have any more history or info on it?
The front end body looks like the 51 Studebaker Jonathan W is repairing.
Sweet
awesome how's this project coming?
It isn't coming along too well. Too many other projects have jumped in front of it.
My Mom had a 1951 Henry J in the 1950's. It was all original and it was a maroon color. Later, my Dad bought her a 1951 T-Bird and he sold the Henry J to a kid in town who promptly crashed it and rolled it. He was OK but the J was crumpled. Dad got a new car every 2 years because he was a salesman for AGWAY, and drove a lot. I wish he had kept the Henry J for me and I was in my early teens.
Check out Rusty rides Garage in that 51 Henry J
I don't know were you live but there are 3 junk yards in California that have all the parts to build a Henry J Gasser. I'll let you find them all I can say is there all in driving range of LA and they are a Gasser paradise all three are on my must buy from list before I die . No they don't have web pages the owners are old guys
That patina looks sweet brotha. Them ol girls are getting really hard to find lately.
Oh yea

You turned the poor man's car into the poor man's rebel son's car. Hshs
where do you get the money for this?
Neat car! Can't wait to see it done. Hope you are doing OK! How is the Vette? Mark C.
Hey Mark, long time no see! I hope you're doing well. The Corvette is running pretty good at the moment...it was down for almost a year, but I was able to fix a lot of stuff that I had been putting off for a while.
Sounds great! We moved to SW Florida. Great weather all year. 3 dragstrips near by. There is a cruise in you can go to just about every day of the week. Also bought a house on the water. Can go boating all year.. You have some awesome videos.@@HotRodHoarder
Still have the Cobra. I also bought a new Shelby GT 350 R. Fun car.
Thanks Mark. Glad to hear you're doing well!
I see you have the "fred flintstone" edition breaks hahaha
Yes sir, most Henry J's have them. I don't know why the floors rust out on these thing so badly, compared to other cars of this generation. Must've been thinner metal or bad choice of rust preventative measures from the factory.
Yep, and that cabin fresh exhaust catch system!
Rear looks like 8 3/4 Mopar - tough as nails. Will take any HP an SBC will make. Don't recognize the front axle ... Cool car and great project. Build it with a 40 over 283 and spin the bejesus out of it. You'll be period correct - SEGA here you come :D
Check out Todd Oden's C/G 283 DelRay in the SEGA series for a stout 283. He has an A/G car too. But it's the 283 that is really impressive :D
What happened to this car I was looking forward to a follow-up
I ended up selling it to fund another project. Kicking myself...
Want those just made a few years .my gradpaw took the motor out of one of them and put it in a jeep and just took the old body and pushed it over the hill it sat there probably 20 year or longer and this one dum!!$. Took a axe and chopped it up and sold it for scrap about 10 year ago
At 00:30....That's DALE EARNHARDT SR on the Back......🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔NOT.
