Dragster frames........picture thread.

There is a whole 440 line and there is alot of interchange,,the frame I posted could be a transitional frame as you can see the Eelco/CR frame mounting plates and no scatter shield

 

ain't history fun!!!!!!!?????

 

actually looking it over never seen this cage the 2 lower hoops in the back and the side rails actually come outside of the cage and curve back in,,,hmmmmmmm

ok what the storying in this lil fella

 

So its interesting that all these old frames were gas welded,,I wouldnot have thought gas welds to be strong enough

 

oh shit! I can't believe you went there again.

 

Whats the wall thickness on the bottom rails of the K-88?

 

Can I have some specs to

 

big tubes should be .120 -.125

 

Hey little wing, do you got any of the specs on that k-88 of yours? The bottom rail length, wheelbase?? I really wana build my own k88, so bad ass. Thanks for any info you can give man. Im really greatful

 

This a K-88 or TE-448 ?? Was'nt the K the same just Eelco made it and it had different mounting plates?

 

Wow, for under $500 you could have a roller chassis, just add welding and rear tires/wheels. Awesome.

 

yep they were'nt that bad though that may have been alot back then..

 

Thought you guys would dig these ......

 

anyone have close up pix of a side mount lever shock set up ?

 

Sorry to break away from the Chassis Research stuff but here are a couple of current pics that Hellraiser took at Nosurf's HAMB-B-Q. Greezy was trying it on for size.

 

Dammm that is looking awesome Kerry.

Anyone know HOW MANY different versions of the TE-440 were made,, I know of 3 ,,the front end change and at least 2 different roll cages

 

Weren't you going to build a Chassis Research digger? Show us your progress.
