I know it my be impossible to find most U2l bodies. Rj speed has some bomber bodies and I think McAllister may have some 40's and 50''s bodies . Not sure what is out there yet.were open to different era cars too

Flaming is basically people shooting down your idea or strongly disagreeing with it

McAllister's Hot Rod GT, which can be viewed on their site, looks really cool in VTA dressing.

you guys are getting out of control....

the idea is/was that back in the day, during the real Trans-am, there were other cars (other than mustangs and Camaros) that ran side by side, but in a Under 2 Liter category...

all this hot rod bolink gt is just nonsense

I'm fine either way and no agenda, but I am curious why not? Would be cool to have some options and many like European makes. I can't see how it would really affect my racing if I had an Alfa body instead of a Trans AM, it's not an aerodynamic class.

It's always your fault...and Rob K too!

Non illegitimus carborundum. USVTA is good the way it is.

Lone Drifter spoke about something they had going on their local area specifically. Either you didn't read that post or somehow didn't connect the dots but either way, I am not suggesting that the Hot Rod body be included on the official VTA body list.

Please note - he stated his group is open to different body ideas, even earlier era models
