{xtypo_dropcap}W{/xtypo_dropcap}hat happens when the brightest minds in the alternative fuel vehicle industry join with the brightest minds in the hot rod and custom industry? You end up with the single most advanced hot rod on the planet being built - that's what! The '33 Ford CNG Hot Rod dubbed 'The Gasser' is being built by WJ Daytech Automotive in Fairfield Ca. and CNG Retrofit kit manufacturer AFVTech Inc. in Phoenix AZ. using the best parts available to the automotive world.
The rod is in the build up stage and promises to be one of the most (if not the most) high tech rods on the planet!
Specs:
Just a couple of build specs for this rod are:
- Body and chassis by Factory Five Racing
