    I would guess it has what I think they call "saddle tanks". A pair of them. They fit between the drive shaft and the frame rails.

    Those poor drag slicks are in for a beating.

    I do remember this car in the magazines, or one like it, in a Tex Smith book maybe?

    Just as well left the shocks off that one, huh?

    Someone explain to me the rod(?) on the left side. Is that what locates the rearend laterally?
