Cleanest Design Produced for the Class
In his 1970 book on VW hotrodding, Bill Fisher looked at the then new D-13 and proclaimed it “the cleanest design yet produced for the FV class”. Fifty years later Ed Womer has produced the cleanest design for the FST class. Actually, the body and frame was done in 2010 but they have been hung on the wall of Ed’s storage building until recently. Ed bought a donor car with good parts from a fellow FST competitor in the Mid West for a pittance and merged it with his new body and frame and ended up with a stunning result. A few pics are included below.
Ed is someone not constrained by conventional wisdom and is known to think outside the box. Look at the lower cooling air scoops and of course you don’t see the upward swept exhaust. (What does hot air do?). Ed is great craftsman who would rather build a dry sump tank than buy one. The frame is got maybe the best side protection I’ve seen recently.
You can see this car make its competition debut at the FRP PIRC weekend. Weather is looking decent.
