Front Engine Dragsters / New to the web site and new to racing a FED

« on: July 23, 2013, 02:33:28 PM »

It all started about a year ago when I came across an old timer wanting to sell me his old blown nitro 392 hemi! I found out it has a complete Donovan bottom end and Webster heads. From there we found Brian Fox at King Chassis and got started. Brian built me a 180 inch wheel base chassis, we found some original 16x11 Halibrand magnesium Speedway wheels, and after Brian finished the chassis and installed the engine and drivetrain, we got the complete roller back in the shop. At this point we contacted Matt Tomb to build the beautiful aluminum body in conjunction with one of Brian's chute packer body.  Brian had the chassis NHRA tagged for 7.50 class.
So this is where we are at so far, next I think we are going to tear the engine down, and have a local engine shop spec it out.  Still got all the plumbing to do, and, of course, paint.
Me and my crew are very thankful you guys have this site up because we have thousands of questions to ask, as we are new to FED racing.  Attached are some photos of how the car looks currently.
By the way, the name of the car is Black Sheep because I am the black sheep of my family. 
I want to post photos, how do I do it?
