6. "Cars must have cowl or body and proper floor boards/belly pan to prevent driver’s legs from exiting vehicle in event of a crash" While looking on youtube at videos of HA/GR's I noticed one from downunder that had a T body on it.I have an glass 27' body and turtle deck rotting away in the weeds and was wondering if yall would consider it "in the spirit of the Bug".if mounted on a typical hamb dragster chassis?

You mean like this? http://flatheaddrag.com/08hamb/images/0808_1479.jpg Well, maybe not exactly like this, but using an existing body has been done in the US. Maybe not in fiberglass, though.

I've been wondering the same thing. Just the bucket though. The HAMBster guys I've talked with don't have a problem with it but I want to stay within the lines. Damn lines!

What say the rule makers?

As long as it's proper, use whatever body you want. Don't think you would want to use anything from the '40s or newer, but otherwise, don't let anything but weight hold ya back.:D

being innovative, creative and unique is in the spirit of the bug.
