My first front engine dragster--need history

(1/3) > >>

novacain:
Got my first front engine dragster and am trying to find some history on it. Car is 168" wb . 8 3/4 Chrysler rear, center steer with the bell crank on the outside of the left tube, torsion bar behind the axle. Car is mild steel, was told the car was built in the early 70's and I've traced it back to Michigan. Trying to figure out who built it.  Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

Congrats with your FED:) Have you talked to your local FED supplier? Brian Fox, KING chassis?

First you need more pictures concentrating on different areas, overall picture of a car painted black  tells nothing.

Any major chassie builder of that time would never build a frame with mild steel. What is the width inside the shoulder hoop??

novacain:
Haven't talked to anyone local yet, figured i'd try here first. From what I've read so far, I think I've got a homebuilt copy of someone else's design. The guy I got the car from said he bought it from a guy in Michigan, doesn't remember his name, too many years ago. Car was supposedly built in the early 70's.

Bet you wish there was no snow on the ground!
