Ok Darkside, I'll give you that the Cougar is just another Mustang coupe.
So back to my original request that I made in May 2011...

Does anybody on this forum know somebody who works for HPI Racing? I want to ship this 1972 Pontiac Trans Am Firebird to HPI Racing so that they can make a Lexan body of this car for VTA enthusiasts all over the world.

If you look into what the cougar is you will find that it is a very different car from the mustang. Sure it shared parts just like any manufacturer would do but it was its own car. You will find that it was actually a better built car and had much better fit and finish than the mustang because the production lines were not nearly as rushed to get the cars to market. And I'm in no way bashing the mustang. I own a 1969 fastback and I love it.

okay...I was just saying that the Coupe would have made a great Cougar, something different....its a fresh mold and would have been easier or not, to make us a Cougar...
I will never complain about the bodies...its 18 on the legal list, and Ive used most of those...but plenty to still try...
chill, buddy...its great in my US VTA world....Im a very happy racer....oh shoot...smiley face

I can still put my old Nikko '72 Trans Am body on my VTA, but it weighs 5 times as much as a PolyCarb body.

Here is one that I did for a local racer. He and his father saw this car in person. His father has passed so this is very special memory for him.
He is also a fan of Gabriel Iglesias so I added a few "fuffy" touches.
The painting is done with custom masks. The decals were done with custom cut vinyl done by me, stock HPI decals, and some VTA decals furnished by him.
I think it turned out pretty good. Enjoy it Adam!
