My name is jeff leeke sr and i have been thinking of building ne of these fd cars for a while.i run a flatbotton 18ft vdrive boat with a ford fe in it and we just went blown/alky/injected with a new engine package..bought one of worms xmas drawing tickets and bingo!! i won the chassis..he is buildin me a 200" deal,tacked,rearend housing and engine plate for my fe deal..will have rooman do me a body and someother work as needed and will finish this car over the next yr..then out of the boat and into the rail with my fe.will ask lots of questions and try to make it to several show's this seson as i need to learn alot and would like to make fewer mistakes by asking and seeing what truly seems to work in these cars..cant afford to build it 2 or 3 times so please bear with me and some of my stupid questions!!lol already got a set of hayden fronts with tires rady to install and just picked up a alum center and spool and lightened ring &pinion set for the rear with the strange coupler/yoke ..seems one of my biggest ticket items will be the trans and bellhousing setup to get it to the fe..next will be rear tires and wheels so when i get the car to my shop we should be able to get her roll'n in no time.mr john up at slingshot told me mid march for the chassis so no pics of her yet but here is on of my ford fe we will run..thanks for having us and hope to meet several of you soon..jeff leeke sr
