There is no way I would try to run this, I know the chassis is well used and too old, some of the joints were brazed and the old coat hanger welding. I will just do the restore and Crackel/car show stuff and have fun.  Thanks for your concern !!!!

Hi Alan

 Yes any history is great to know and helps understand the restoring process, The trailer is going to be restored also , its rough but cool, as for a 392, I have the motor and one of the landspeed team members has donated rods, pistons, cam, and a few other items for the build, so why not 392.  I think it was a jr fueler not sure . One nice thing is it has an original mickey Thompson 3rd member

 Hello All

My name is Don from-- DRY --California.

 I have been involved in a Land speed race team for the last 6 years and 3 Years ago I purchased a 130" FED from Salt Lake City, The gentleman I purchased it from has no history on it, and I do not think it is of any historical importance but I would like to see if anyone knows anything about this car. My plan is to restore it and have fun with it. I am building a Blown 392 for it.
