What I do like about the new bodies is how cool would it be to have a race series dedicated to the new shells. I mean serious level stuff . I love our Touring Car Masters series, but the vintage metal getting used up is a bit of a shame, I cringe every time one gets bent. Maybe Dynacorn should sponsor the series? Licence to print money making new shells! Last edited by XByoot; 21-04-2018 at 11:37 AM. |

![]() That Gulf scheme amazing, tell someone to put those colours together and they would think your crazy, but man, it worked ![]() Sorry for the rant mate... I’m off now to dream about fitting a turbo Barra in a 2017 eco boost Mustang! Ford missed the boat with that one, if they sold that in the US the tuner crowd would have obliterated the LS boys!

Looks like another alloy block candidate.

Awesome that they make new shells. The build quality on the new shells are proababy better with new technology. Panel fit and finish on 60s and 70s fords is shocking factory.

As far as I know the cars would have to comply with our ADR's, so would need full emissions compliance etc. So I would say no. But i'm no expert on this.

i know the guys looking into getting the hardtops built had already sorted that problem out, but it was the numbers that put the brakes on the venture, not the legalities of rego......

my thoughts were surely the Americans have similar ADR's there must be some loophole. similarly to Kit cars being registered as Hotrods. I know form some of the shows I watch California have very strict and complicated regulations, a lot of older cars don't meet emission's standards so cannot be driven there.

Plus an engine that passes emissions from the year of construction? Pretty sure the kit cars need engineer approval at various points of the build too. All sorts of things a rusty old shell doesn't require. |

There were some new bodies ( I think they were 67’s) being built up here some time ago. I’d say some would be done but now. As to exactly how I’m not sure but there’s more than one way to skin a cat.
