You build is inspiring. Great job!

 

Thanks man!

 

Do you have any idea what drums this axle have? Year?

 

more closeup pic on the drum

 

Made this distans today, for the coupler should fix the gap

 

With some more Machine jobb, it fits perfect! Feels better now

 

While waiting on the oilsealing for coupler, Im preparing the gaugepanel for two SW.

 

Just some polish work on the panel and butterfly. And the temp gauge need to be rebuildt, missing the liqour-ether?

 

Maybe order a chassis research butterfly from obrien truckers, and put the old one on the wall.

 

There is some fun stuff going on, on this FED Project !

Im going to cast my own valve covers, and doing the mold now, with help of a guy that knows how to do it ;-)

 

What a great build, cant wait to see the finished product. Keep up the great work. Lee

 

Thanks dude!!
Ill do my best, building and driving this Moon Rocket dragster ;-)

 

Fantastic project. Very nice work.

 

Thanks man!
Im looking forward to boil some rubber when takeoff

 

Some grinding to fit a chassi tube at the Panel, well now it works.

 

and now its finnished, fits realy good

 

the butterfly ended up in white colour, I think it looked better to the rest.

 

Looks nice bet you will have fun squeezing the sap out of that when you hit the loud peddle.

 

Mohaha! Yes, I Will squeeze it to its just a Little Diamond back left :-D

 

Looking good man! I have that same set up.
