Back then I did not pay attention to the chassis when the second Gladiator appeared, I assumed it was the Chadderton & Okazaki car with a different body.
So, who built the second Gladiator chassis? Was it an import or did Alan make a copy of the original chassis, with possibly some updates.

Gladiator chassis?

Custom Car that
"Dave Bryant and Paul Mellon bought the ex-Chadderton & Okazaki Vega flopper and ran it as an altered with a Chevy big block between the rail" If thats correct, got any pictures?
3. seemingly little know fact, John Buttera built a total of only 16 funny car chassis, before turning his talented hands to street rods.
