It wasn't until 1965 that FX cars could relocate their axles, and then, it was limited to only 2% of the stock wheelbase. Meaning, if the stock wheelbase on the car was 118", the axles could be relocated only 2.3".
The altered wheelbase cars (of all makes) usually bypassed NHRA events and raced in "run whatcha brung" type events or went match racing...

Thank you for laying it on the line about what really happened in FX. Everyone needs to know those drastically altered wheelbase cars were not legal FX cars.
