New front half

[Mrs Esterhouse]

Looks good, I am currently rebuilding the front half of my car also, and funny enough my dad and brother (brother also the driver) were here to help this weekend.  I love em, but I get more done by myself.

We actually work well together!

Gentlemen you are so blessed to have family involvement. My Dad and 4 brothers have noticed very little of my drag racing projects over the years (40+). George

if you get along while working then congradualtoin's.Been working with my father for 32 years and its been 31 years of debating and arguing.Has gotten better as he has gotten older and realized out of 3 kids I'm only one that takes care of anyone in family with problem. Or maybe he has just figured xxxx he is going to do it his way any how,might as well not argue with him.Him being me of coarse.LOL

My engine bay is a little different than most as my car is a little narrow with the drysump pump mounted low so this is what I ended up doing.

Hello Paul:
Did you purchase the front axle or make it?
I'm looking for one that's less than 39" that's on my FED.
Thanks: Matt

Well I contacted the Chassis Shop for a front axle.
They are not in production at this time and none in the near future.
Mark Williams and S&W race cars only sell wide ones.
I really like the look of the narrow front end but am wondering who to call now.
If anybody knows who to call let me know.
My needs are pretty common. 6" drop with SPE spindles.

Matt – one more suggestion, here’s internet links to new 4130 CM 0.120 wall, 1.50” outside dia. axles, 36” or 39” wide, 6” drop with SPE bosses, priced at $178.99. Years ago for my dragster, I selected a MW Enterprises, Inc. axle and it was top quality.  No experience with Pro-Werks front axle but I have bought from Pro-Werks before and was pleased with item.  Alan
