Mate going to sound crazy but go buy yourself some plastic model kits. Must be some guys at Hidden Valley tgat can help you. Also contact Danial Hodgins in Alice Springs. He ran a Holden FED before moving on to other things and has built several altered chassis for other guys.

Just sent Danial a message now. Hopefully I can get some help. All the other boys are big or moved their cars south to race. Sadly looks like our season might be a little messed up ATM. From what I hear a lack of volunteers and late organisation.

 volunteers loose interest or get burn't out it always the same ones that do the work and often they are not recognized for it.
how you decided on a wheel base?

Not yet. Was thinking of 170" or 180". Not sure if my height comes into effect (5'11 and 100kg). Engine we estimate is pushing 300hp NA plus the 150 shot of NOS.

Its hard for volunteers agree! I commit my time to another sport with my son but would otherwise offer my time this year.

retroboy:
To our American brothers. The Holden inline six dragster in Australia was like your junior fuel car. A guy could have a home built car and have good cheap and fun. It seems there were  hundreds of them in the nineteen sixties and early seventies.
