I took these pics a while ago and just realized I never posted them.

They show the hogged-out wheel opening on the inside of the CTH/Hawaiian Funny Car body.

I thought it was done for tire clearance, but others have speculated it's the period-correct opening for the CTH, or the correct openings for the Hawaiian.

You be the judge, I'll let the pics speak for themselves.

They're speaking, but I don't know what they're saying.

The early Revell '55 and '57 Chevy's had this feature as well. The idea there was mounting a large set of slicks.
