I thought this was going to be more of a retro pro stock and they’re already changing the rules
I feel sorry for you guys with money already invested what a kick in the nuts

I guess I can be thankful that the NHRA has already made this into something that no longer appeals to me....

Sounds boring already

well what i was told is that after they flush mount all the glass on the car to the NHRA rules it would be more cost effective to go fiber. Also it will help keep them uniform and help prevent the body from being altered. They are to be exact diemension of the stock body

Who would make the molds for a carbon fiber body. To expensive for the limited number they would sell.

Five Star is going to make the molds for Ford and GM they need a lighter and better car for the future of the oversized remote control electric vehicles.

Take the time to look at an Andrew Wolf's article in the Dragzine magazine, regarding the construction of the Factory X, BlackBirdX for Geoff Turk at B&B race cars.
Enjoy,

With that being said, will Five Star make stock appearing bodies or use the current Pro-stock molds?
