Mold making isn't my problem it's finding a local who will pull a small amount of bodies for a reasonable price. I'm actually working on a 5th scale budy right now so I can possible race GT this year and I need to find someone to pull them for me.

For those of you trying to find other bodies that would work in the class, here is a lits of the REAL cars that raced in the SCCA series from 1966 through 1972 (and Corvettes are not on the list ):

American Motors Javelin
Chevrolet Camaro
Dodge Challenger
Dodge Dart
Ford Falcon
Ford Mustang
Mercury Cougar
Plymouth Barracuda
Pontiac Firebird
Pontiac Tempest


Hopefully, HPI steps up soon and gives us a little more to choose from for this class.
Wasn't the Chevelle used? It's an A body as is the Tempest... Bolink makes a 68 and I'm partial to the 68 (not just cause there's a real one in my garage )

I have a 67 Vette too, unpainted...

I'd love to see a Dodge Dart, I've always loved that car...

This class run locally would probably get me back into 10th scale TC...
