Roo Man's Room / 140-160" FED Build
« on: July 23, 2020, 08:24:35 AM »
I want to build a 140-160" " nostalgic" appearing fed, and I'm not having any luck with finding blue prints, or chassis builders who are willing to discuss the short wheel base.I would like to hear from some members who have built, and drove these cars . I would like to hear the pros, and cons. Thanks, Greg

 Hi all, new to the page. I have spent 35 years building, and racing dirt track modifieds, and now that I'm retired from the sport, I'd love to build a FED! I have a Mittler Bros.
 bender, but I'm not sure if the radius would work out for 1 1/5' CM tubing ( 6''radius). I really like the early Kent Fuller built Tommy Ivo style rails, but I don't know if those are legal to run. I'm 65 years old, and retiring VERY soon so l"m looking to build something other than another dirt car. I don't know anyone in my neck of the woods who is into the FED scene, so I have LOT"s of questions! I'm guessing something around 140'' wheel base would work for me. I have TIG, and MIG welders, and 20 Plus years of machining experience, and not to mention 35 years of automotive collision repair experience. Any advice on chassis blueprints, and construction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Greg
