Hi Glenn, Terry Lachapelle here, (slofomoco on the forum).

Here are some pix of my 69 200" moly FED as it was when I purchased it. The seller had done lots of work before I came along, he had plans to do more upgrades, some of which I liked. The FED is now on a rotisserie, mostly disassembled, Dan replaced the 6 bar mild steel cage with a moly 5 bar, it looks much better. I have pix of the progress.

 I would like to start a build thread, I was wondering if you would post the pix in there for me. Hopefully someone may recognize the car. Dan has a little info which I will post. Maybe one of these pix will make a good avatar?  thanx

Terry

#1 first thing that should be done is to get NHRA out there (or bring it to them) for tubing inspection. At that point they will give you a sheet of the required updates (if)needed and or if the tubing thickness is to thin. Its been a long time since that chassie has been run at any track or event that requires a chassie cert. There may be a reason, First indication is the lack of uprites between the foward seat uprite and the rear seat uprite, that spec has been in place for over 12 years now for dragsters

Other than that, looks nice

I appreciate the advice, will follow up on that. I know nothing about a FED, I have much to learn.
I met Glenn at Empire, he told me about this forum. Looks good!
