Hey Tim. Basically, pre-1980 body style is the general rule. It is actually a one of the last '93-'96 Candies & Hughes' Ford Probe GT Motorcraft bodies that Mark Oswald drove. The body was given to us, so the price was right. We ran it on about 10% nitro as a fuel altered, but will now run 30% nitro with the body on it.

I'll keep you posted on when my '63 C-10 gets to the point for paint...I have some custom lettering, pinstriping, etc. planned.
