Such a beautiful piece of steel.
That K member shows how with this particular AFX project, Chrysler decided to farm out piecemeal parts to companies such as Carron & Co. Thanks Xslantracer for bringing those flicks up to the surface. I never knew that this company that seems to still be in business as a precision fabricator was the fabricator of the K member. Always thought it was through Chrysler's stamping and welding. I can imagine the eye rolling and water cooler talk when Chrysler walked into their conference rooms with the blue prints and jigs for the K under hand and said, make this out of your lightest stainless steel. Then again I've been called crazier. LOL.
This Landy car besides allegedly being the first Funny car (I suspect different) was also critiqued for it's "High And Mighty" stance. Personally, I would have liked the car with a lower stock stance, but then again Landy and his team must have known something else, especially when it came to center of gravity.
No image. try again please.
Definitely something FUNNY going on there. As if the Plymouth's didn't have enough of an advantageous factory wheel base already. The Dodges had to fight and claw their way back.

Get outta Dodge. LOL.Yeah, most photos show the car from the right and at an angle, but IIRC the rear axle most always looked a bit "extra-legal"...yet the front wheels look normally positioned.
Later on, HL (or someone) altered it further, and went to injectors.
And yup, Plymouths have always been better than Dodges, haha - except for the 2nd-gen Charger...(just jokin', hold the hate mail, Dodge boys
I mean the front wheels don't have to necessarily be moved forward to achieve the CG advantages that a rear wheel forward alteration and a drivetrain set back would do. I bet that the drivetrain on this Plymouth is tricked set back somehow. Why I suspect? A certain NYC Dodge is guilty of the same sin.
I'm not sure, I'm kinda color blind. LOL.
