I've chopped mine but not into a tray.

If you want to do CCDA comps then remember the vehicle must retain the original number of body mounts!

As far as legalities i'd be talking to an engineer in your territory if it bothers you for it to be legal.
G_Loomis has chopped his into a tray back and appears to be a good job.

Oh... and by the way.. The Golden rule is if you chop a 60 into a ute you MUST paint it yellow..

Gq's are all good, they came out as a ute. The reason i guess is to stop extreme radical mods and buggies from taking over in events that weren't designed for them. The rule affected me yet i think the rule is good. You need guidelines and rules to follow.

The outback is run under CCDA rules and regulations...then how do guys like Todd Robards, Normy Walters and Nik Mannell compete...these trucks have all been chopped and therefor WOULD NOT be using the original amount of body mounts...

Not attacking you either Ruff, just trying to get a better understanding of the rules.

could always just add 4 extra mounts, totally un-needed and totally useless but wouldnt really be that hard to add them.

Sorry i should of clarified that a little better earlier. Trophy and challenge class vehicles must retain the same number of body mounts and supports.
Open class is... well..... er... open!

What i was getting at was you don't want to go and build a mild car and find your lumped into a class full of chopped, V8 utes with 39's just because your 60 with 35's is a trayback.
