Now Bernie’s FC-150 like I said before, it must be seen to really appreciate all the fab work that went into this creation!  I’m a real novice when it comes to hot rods but there are so many things that just jump out at you.  I don’t know if the pictures show this well but the whole engine/ transmission and rear end are tied together on an inner frame that is air bag suspended inside the outer frame.  There is no rear driveshaft!  The rear end is directly coupled to the tail shaft of the transmission!  And the header tubes also dump directly into the inner frame rails and exit out the rear.  YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS!!!  Here are some more details.
