If you have the SRT chassis with the tab on each side, you have many options. Just start trying all the Aurora AFX and Auto World X Traction bodies that you may have on hand. Many will fit, some will be just a bit too shallow since they were designed for the pancake motor chassis. Others may require modification on the lower front portion to clear the pickup shoe hangers. I run many SRT chassis in club races, they run as fast as the Super G+ chassis and have Neodymium traction magnets to boot. One of my favorite handling sports car bodies is the AFX Can Am type Porsche. Most of the AFX NASCAR stockers fit as well as street machines like the Trans Am Camaros and Firebirds, '55 Chevy, '57 Nomad, and the A/P Corvette. As I said earlier, just start trying different bodies to see what fits and what doesn't.
Also look at the rear axle assembly. There are 25T and 23T replacements available, and they will snap right in with the stock 7T pinon gear. Cars came with one or the other from the factory, but most all of the standard chassis had the 25T type, with the 23T supplied in the Indy/F1 style chassis. (More on those later).
As mentioned in an earlier reply, Jag Hobbies has a good inventory of bodies to choose from, as well as large suppliers like Slot Car Central in Syracuse. NY <slotcarcentral.com>
Perhaps you live in an area that has hobby shows within a few hours drive. Bring one of the chassis with you so you can test fit bodies while you're shopping. Attend those if you can, you never know what you may find there, plus you might make some new friends in the hobby... face to face! PM me and I may be able to help you with some show locations, I've been a vendor since the late 1970s.
If you have the SRT chassis with the slot in each side, they were designed for the Indy/F1 type bodies specifically made for that chassis. Don't be afraid to experiment and customize as you like - that's the FUN of car modeling, whether it be slot cars or static shelf models.
Hope this information helps you out, and remember... Enjoy! -- Ernie :>)
