Actually, there are a lot of great paintjobs that have been posted showing wonderful creativity and skill BUT also staying within the rules. A 70 Cuda body or a 68 Camaro body isn't a VTA body until it's painted to reflect the style of a Vintage Trans Am car.
Your paint work, although clearly a nice job, simply doesn't qualify as a VTA body. Now, slam that body on a chassis with some drift or VIP style wheels and tires and you've got something different that would easily compete against a similar Honda, Mazda , etc. Kinda like that early Mustang drifter in "F&F Tokyo Drift"
