The attached pic was posted earlier on by someone. That's at least 1 of the worst blown TFs I've seen and wonder how the driver ever escaped injury. Were they using any type of protection at all with the automatics back then such as a plate on the floor or a blanket of some sort? I've seen a few old pics of blown gassers circa 69-70 that appear to have trans blankets hanging down. I've seen a few TFs with chunks of the sides out or bellhousings split and case with top removed but that pic really takes the cake. Wonder someone didn't lose a leg on that one. Looks like most blew downward but surely there had to be some penetration of the floorboard with a blowup like that.
