    Moon tank in the grill....maybe a scoop opening above the grill,...skinny race wheels on the front,.... drop the front end for a slight rake.....and lose the air horn.

    If you want a gasser look, 5-6 inch tread width.

    nothin says gasser better than "straight axle" with a set of big sticky mickys on the back
