if i cut a clam shell chassis , so that it is no longer a clam shell 
and glue the lower body parts to the upper body 
but still retain the original non podded chassis 
would this still be considered as a 'modified standard car ' ?
or would it have to go in a different class ?

thinking of another entry

I cannot see an issue with this, as long as the body & chassis is of a hard plastic ( not vac formed) and that the motor & motor pod are non-adjustable, so that the car effectively offers no added performance advantage over a comparable Modified Standard car.
