I just uploaded to my gallery a pic called stuff 2 that shows the driver area of our front engine dragster--in it you can see how confined it is around the rear end and where your legs go over the housing. The pic shows a Mopar 8 3/4 rear which was common in the 60=70 era. The ford is bigger and more offset than the Chrysler

Fords were popular in funny cars and rear engine dragsters where there wasn't a premium on space

Hope your leg isn't removable like the one pictured!!!
