Run 8 inch tires, lose the spoiler and open up the nose and we would have a lot less dust and rutted up race tracks.

That company makes a Mustang nose too. I think it's called AR Bodies. Look on the muscle cars link on their website. It shows asphalt cars but the noses are impact resistant plastic. They make tail sections too.

Looks great! Unfortunately it is almost 3x the cost of a Performance Body. If anyone wants to sponser the cost of the body I will be more than happy to put it on and even have Ed stripe it up like a factory paint scheme.

AR Bodies plastic camaro nose is $75/side, thats cheaper than an MD3. The roof is fiberglass, but the rest of it looks like aluminum and poly to me. It's just really well done. Here's a budget version for you. Attached File  Bodies_and_Accessories.jpg   68.91KB   222 downloads

That looks very cool, but for a limited car it's an awful lot like a late model.

I did a little research on this car.

The nose and tail are AR Bodies plastic pieces and the roof is fiberglass. The rest was hand built out of sheet aluminum by Keith (probably not a big deal for a custom car builder).
