Thread: Help with 69 FED

Tweet

my son and i have what we think is a 69 woody gilmore fed ..and we are trying to find out whose car it was,,i'll give you the info and see if it rings a bell with any one....from looking at the chassis and the full chute-pack body ...this was built for a pro/high dollar team...196"/wb. started as a clutch car hand brake -push to stop..torsion bar front end chrome 8 3/4 and wheelie bars [leaf spring] and push bar...it is now a sb/chev. but i had to make the plates and tabs ..the car came with a bb/chev but i don't know if a hemi is the same size as a 427...when we got it the paint on the cowl said --Blast From The Past-- we could see another painted logo under and started sanding...we found [of all things] a hand airbrushed painting of -Hank Williams Sr. imposed over a horse shoe with his name lettered on the shoe ...this was over silver metal flake...the way it looks right now--- we think the car started out black with gold leaf stripping---------then was painted dark red metal flake...and the last two times was blue ...the painting is signed with an artists logo that looks like J F or J T F and is copyrighted and dated 76 ..if any body remembers this thing in any of its forms please let us know.......one other thing we got the car from Kansas but believe it came from Tennessee ....Thanks...Dave

We just took some pictures, but we can't figure out how or where to post them, any help?

no it's not the end of the world but it's such a neat package we think it started as a pro set-up .. and knowing would add to the bragging rights at the local track..and old pictures of the car on the shop walls -instead of the girls --would sadden my 19 yr. old son....but make my wife very happy.....and when mama ain't happy!!!!!....................and then there is Hank ...this next pic is what we found under the last paint job...hand airbrushed and dated 76.....which leads us down another path of trying to find out about the art also.....it gives me something to think about besides Death + Taxes.....later................Dave

Dave, there's an old (aren't we all) FED shoe named Don Ewald who runs a great FED site called www.wediditforlove.com. You might go there, send him an email with the pics and either he or another of the site members can recall the car. That would be your highest odds of success.
