Well Barrie has had the "New Gen" car for several years now... Thayne's car is one, and so is the car I work on.
It's fabricated using "W" body GM, Chrysler Intrepid platform and the four door Ford Taurus among others. It's a bit of work but it costs substantially less than $2000 and there aren't any fibreglass parts. You can use the standard late model nose and tail cones, which are available for the LLM. I think the cars look great. The 5 Star '88 Monte is nice too, but there is nothing like getting into the 2000's... the fans love it. Guys, a Lumina / MC / GP, Intrepid, Taurus can be had for very low $$$ these days as a donor, and the fab skills will never hurt to have. It's your time and material. JCrash I don't know how they could accomodate the Camaro leaf car... I don't know the measurements for the later cars... all our cars are Metric. I'd rather stay away from 'glass if possible, unless you have CASCAR budget to replace stuff all the time...
When I was running street stock I had always hoped they would stay as far away from the stuff barrie was doing with the new gens as possible, those things are the worst looking race cars in North America. I haven't been a fan of the way the Delaware cars have been going (probably why I never finished the last car I was putting together 😉 ) but hey, whatever, maybe that's why some of us have moved onto other things.
if u saw my car this year, you wouldn't think so.....

1 nice car doesn't make it a good change
I never really had any trouble working with glass, and the results were pretty darn good. Tears are easy to mend and nothing wrinkles!
