There are 2 bodies - a '70 Mustang and a '70 Cuda. The bodies are listed as about 9" wide, so that should made them between 225-230mm wide. Anyone have a measurement of the width of the Parma VTA bodies or the Pegasus VTA bodies?

Here is a link on McAllister's website for the bodies

I think these bodies were originally designed for the older wide pan cars (Any one remember the Bolink Super Sport or the Eliminator 10?) Those were a 235mm track width. While they would fit a TC chassis, the tires would just be swallowed by the extra width.
