220" FED build
« on: May 12, 2013, 11:49:54 AM »
been a long time coming , but i have been putting my dragster together over the past few weeks , i 1st started bending tubing on april 26th  i pick at it here and there not in a real hurry to get it done , but id like to hit the track maybe in july . who knows . when its done its done ! .... but i do have the majority of the stuff to get it done or atleast into a rolling chassis . since im usually busy with work i typically hoard alot of parts before i even start a project this way i dont need to wait to get parts but i think the big parts needed are transmission , center chunk , fire extinguishers , and a few little odd ball parts.....

  220" wheel base , kind pissed i cut the tubing short wanted to go 225 to keep my screen name correct , but the heck with it..... {i did have a 225" RED , and the owner before me had "digger" painted on the side of the car hence the 225digger}

heres some pics ..... any suggestions please let me know....and please remember im not a chassis builder , so dont beat me up to bad

sat may 11th i started the front end .  the drop axle is from SW race cars , heavy duty 1-5/8 .120w  i DO NOT want to use radius rods , i will beef up the axle mount with either a plate or some sort of tube diagonal brace .  any comments on how you would do this area is highly appreciated .  if its unclear , the lower rails are 1-1/4 i notched the rails so the axle would fit into the rails , this also gave me the correct spindle hieght .
