RoketRdr;
Shorty version"look as good as" is going to be a pretty tall order. Those GT1 chassis have got some pretty funky proportions - so far from being anywhere near scale it's kinda scary.
Scale-wise.....GT1's are as wide as a school bus, with the wheelbase of a Volkswagen Beetle and the tire diameter of a Top Fuel Dragster slick.
About the only thing I can promise is that I'll try my very best.

But they sure perform better on the "in-field". Hoping yours turns out decent.

sheesh this is the best looking gt body out. I wish they would do a viper gt3 body for the short wheelbase.

The GT1 version of the C7R mold has been finished for a month and a half. The licensing agency that handles GM's account seems to have only dimwits on staff. Their actual "job" is to protect their clients, and to find ways of generating cash flow for themselves, and the other two parties involved. (in this case GM and Protoform) But alas, they are seemingly pre-occupied with other things. Meaningless things. Just sorting though the pettiest thing - like the color of a tiny Chevy bowtie on a decal sheet can take weeks. They'll suddenly just stop communicating by phone or e-mail for weeks at a time. Then, when the "bowtie issue" is finally sorted out, they'll find some other idiotic reason to drag out the process, like the lettering font on the packaging header card.
It's almost like a "make work" program going on in those offices. Most of them are lawyers who couldn't get real jobs. That explains a lot right there......
Seriously......it's just retarded.

I wish you guys came out with a all new in house design. I have a few but getting them made is another thing. I still would love gt1 vette body wonder what a gt 3 viper body would look on these short chassis.

Dale, I think that is what they are calling "job security".... and so they can charge more $$$. Sad...
