Old Coyote Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Here's one built a few years ago ..... a phantom "legs under" fueler powered by a big block Chevrolet engine ... MPC Ramchargers kit, big block Chevy engine from the AMT '37 Chevy kit, Comp Resins injector and scoop, MCW black lacquer, Slixx decals ... ... the Chevy "bowtie" and "Taz" just had to make an appearance on the cowl of this Aussie themed rig ...

Old Coyote Posted August 29, 2020 Author Share Posted August 29, 2020 (edited) These "legs under" fuelers actually did exist back in the '60's ... you could easily identify them by their extreme nose down attitude of the engines ... this was caused by the elevated rear end position to allow the driver's legs to go under the rear axle ... these cars were extremely quick but were not popular with the drivers because it placed the rear end directly in front of their crotch ... below are pictures of "Terrible Ted" Gotelli's gorgeous legs under rig along with a picture of the car under construction showing the unique driver's position and the modified steering position Edited August 29, 2020 by Old Coyote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
