 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

it cant really be achieved on anything that isnt aircooled volkswagen based - unless of course done to another car with a torsion beam - cos chopping the beam is how its done

tuck - when you narrow the beam on a beetle to make the wheels tuck into the arches.
please see the above pictures.
can it work on other cars, or is it cos the beetles have big swoopy arches that makes it look so cool.

Rear wheels on pro street racers have a 'tucked' look to them |

yeah, thats due to the combination of the tubbed arches, ultra narrow back axle and massive wheels ;D

^^^ Is that the one with the Volvo B20 engine? ;D That's the bad boy, although not strictly tucked... More stock and slammed. I think a front end tuck could work well on loads of motors, would mean narrowing the front clip on a lot of them... But imagine a 240 wagon, tucked under, spindle mounted skinnies, Kidney bean rears, bare metal and alloy bumpers... On the ground. Oooh. In fact apply that combo to any estate.... ;D |

That Commer rocks my world! coolness 100%
A lot of full fendered street rods have narrowed front axles to allow the wheels to actually turn when they are slammed.

That Commer is sweet isn't it? One of the best 'cars' that Retrocars never featured! Where you around when I originally posted it? B20 Volvo engine, LPG and bespoke made panels and badges. Very cool... And to sort of illustrate Mr K's point, front wheel spats for the win... If they're factory all the better  |
