Dirt Late Model Chassis by decade.........

[HoosierDirtFan]

After reading the "Mark Richards Copied Bullit Chassis" thread It made me think a bit of how many different chassis have there been over the years since the early - mid 1970's and decide to try and make a list by decade as to when each chassis came into existence and each builder(s).

Who was the very first late model Chassis fabricator ? Seems like I heard years ago it might have been Boscoe Lowe??

GM, Chrysler, Ford and a few other were the first.

Nathan, add these to your list.

Howe
Bopp
Jig-a-lo
Southwest Speed
Tri-City Buggy
Larry Phillips Race Cars

All from the late 70’s early 80’s and all made dirt cars at that timeframe.

American Made Racecars - 1989 I think.

That is if we are taking about the same one (Joplin Mo.) brothers Denny and Danny Felker. Dad had a salvage yard. Denny was working for Larry Phillips in 1988 and Danny started building chassis in 1989 if my memory is correct.

GM, Chrysler, Ford and a few other were the first.

Mopar did have Volare full tube frame kit car specifically for oval racing in the late 70’s.
