I'm pretty sure its not a Dawson car unless he changed a lot of things for this car. My dad had 2 Dawson cars around that time they were quite a bit different. Especially the front axle set up.
Does anyone know how I can get in touch with Icetoe?? I've sent a couple of PM's and no response. BTW...I know the story about running this FED on the street.
Thanks for connecting me with Icetoe! I found a few pictures of Charlie Crowe and a few of his cars from way back in the day before the FED. Unfortunately none of them are of the FED. I'll post as soon as I get a chance. I've located some of his family but nobody has responded yet. Hopefully I can get some old pictures of the FED. Dave
I got two super cool pictures of Charlies dragster from PARIS DRG STRIP, PARIS, TEXAS and year is 1978. Here is propably the latest version of Charlies FED. Engine is smallblock Chevy with Leo Lyons hemi heads Joe Hunt magneto and Hilborn injection. On the other picture is Charlie with his pitman (who?). Thanks Ralph for the pictures!!!
Subscribed West coast guy here and not familiar with that car but I have always wanted to do a restoration of a FED Good luck! Half the fun will be the people and the stories you will hear
I am Charlie Crowes daughter. Thank you for posting the photos of the rail.. It was like seeing a ghost. Dad has been gone over 30 years. Would love to keep up with your project. I have loads of pictures..
