New front engine dragster chassis

We started this project because we could not find an old looking car that would tech. Most old chassis needed so much updating it was not worth the work. The newer chassis out there are a mix between modern A-arm, canard, slab sided cars with an engine stuffed up front so they can call it an FED. Not busting on them, just not our cup of Nitro.
Our chassis is new with the look of a traditional rail from the 60s. The chassis is built with all SFI specs to tech to 7.50 and up. All chassis kits come tacked together ready for finish welding. Any options that are purchased come with brackets tacked in place with option installed. We wanted to make a simple old school chassis that you can add a motor and tranny, get it finish welded, and go racing. No buying a "kit" of tubes that is supposed to be bent and fishmouthed correctly, only to find that without a jig, it is near impossible to build it straight and true. We spent months developing the chassis to be easy to finish for the true home builder. You don't need to be a fab shop to work on our dragster, we did the hard work for you.

OUR GOAL WAS SIMPLE:We wanted to bring back the glory days of drag racing when front engine dragsters were KING and you didn't need a house mortgage to race. We were sick and tired of seeing $30,000-$50,000 cars being built that only the few could afford. My personal car pictured here has a Small Block Ford (yeah we love Fords) Powerglide, 9 inch rear with 35 spline axles and spool, drum brakes, spoke laced front wheels and Slotted window rear wheels. No electrical, bare water, on alcohol. My budget is $15,000.00 with all NEW parts except motor/trans rebuilt. We just ran the car for the first time and the chassis works flawlessly. Third run with no tune was 10.37.
Our show schedule for displaying the chassis kits is the following:
