Projects My sons FEDS

Some of Robs FEDs.....

 

Cool.

 

Very cool lineup of FEDS.

 

Ok,the dragsters are cool,I'd take any one of them.But the propane tank in the background done up like an Eelco tank,complete with brackets is too bitchin cool!

 

Wow! What are his plans?

 

That's what I was thinking! Our propane tank is hidden by shrubs.....maybe I should cut them down and make me some brackets!

 

Man, you got a herd of them!

 

Restoring for show....too old for GO!!!!

holy crap i was thinking the same thing!
id mount that on the front of one of those feds

 

Rob is my kinda guy. Show us more please.

 

Those FED's are definitely cool. I'd kill to have just one, much less all four.

 

For real, that's some hardcore shit there, that's what that is! Very cool on all fronts.

 

Those FED are bad ass, hell you got to many of them. And the eelco tank in the back is priceless.

 

I've got a 1000 gal propane tank in my back yard. That was unfortunate until now. I'm stealing your idea. Too cool.

 

Awesome! I sure do like the one in grey primer.....
Everytime I open a thread with FEDs....I get the temptation to build my own......
And that's the coolest propane tank in all the land.

 

That's some line-up. Do you know much about their history?

Do you have any info on the chassis with the Hemi? It looks a lot like the one in an original Chassis Engineering blueprint I acquired several months ago. Do you have a photo of the driver area without the body?

 

Wow....that is a great collection of FED's there. Please post more pics during updates and such.

First photo....History unkown on first two...next is a Straightaway Eng. built in Willoughby Ohio in the early 60s and raced by Goodman/Sabatos until the mid 60s...last one, don't know the history or who built it.

 

It's a Straightaway Eng. built in Willoughby Ohio in the early 60s

 

Thanks for the photo of the frame. Wow, that's a little light on the tubing at the firewall. Puts all the stress directly on the hoop....scary to be sure.

I remember Straightaway, they used to buy fiberglass from us (Ai) back in the day.

The blue print I have is a 1962 design that I bought with it's original cover letter (signed by Scotty Fenn) and envelope from Chassis Engineering. I have never seen a chassis built to the specs on the print and thought your's just might be one.

 

Here's the Chassis Engineering blueprint. Note how Scotty went with the stringers under the main rail and used a single radiuse hoop roll bar, both for the first time.

 

Heres a few original photos of the Straightway Eng, car back in the day.....
