Now thats an idea!

I've got an old wide-body Cossie shell myself - used to race converted buggies at the old Southend track, which was ideal. Mine was an Optima Mid under the shell.

The problem with widebodies was that they had, well wide bodies. The cars dimensions were distorted to fit a buggy width chassis.

BUT

Short Course trucks are much closer to the right dimensions. Someone needs to make rally shells for short course trucks, maybe slightly lower shock towers for a better fit on the shell and a bit lower to the ground.
OK the result would be a BIG car, but one with much better suspension travel than a converted tourer so more capable of running on some of the less extreme buggy tracks
