Does anyone know which HPI and Protoform bodies are 1 piece moulds that are suitable for VTA class?

Rear wing doesn't matter if separate.

So far only found the Protoform 1971 Chev Camaro Z28.

Pretty certain that all the offerings from McAllister are one piece.

The protoform Javelin body is one piece. As are most of the HPI bodies. Only one I'm not sure about is the 69 Camaro. The 68 Camaro is one piece, except for the spoiler.

The J71 is two pieces... They actually give you a spare front clip. Shoe goo and the little screws and man it lasts.

My Fav when I ran Vta for a bit

I've had the HPI Dodge Challenger previously and done the shoo goo trick just gotten lazier these days. Paint and go is my style now days

The only HPI body for VTA that is one piece (that I recall) is the 1968 Camaro. The 69 has a separate rear bumper and taillight panel. It's been so long since I've been able to get my hands on other HPI bodies for VTA that I can't recall others.

The spoiler on the HPI 68 Camaro has to be attached but otherwise it is one peace.

Please PM me if you are interested.
Thanks for all the interest. But all the VTA tires/wheels have found a new home. No more VTA for me. My last VTA car is now a permanent shelf queen
