Hey man, Womps are FUN! Short ovals or big 8 lane road courses, they've always been a inexpensive way to get people involved or for some easy home and/or club racing. Once racers learn to master that little "shortie" chassis, hardbody and scale racing is usually the next step. It doesn't always have to be about "Flexi Kar" and wing car racing (and I've run plenty of those,too).
PARMA has a mold for a Womp Pinto pavement type modified (also an AMC Gremlin). They were two of the earliest Womp bodies available back in the 1970's, when a complete Womp kit cost less than ten bucks! I don't think either body style is currently offered in the Parma catalog. Perhaps you can find an old one hangin' on a peg in a raceway somewhere, at a swap meet or internet site. You could take a shot at modifying one of those.
When I had my commercial raceway (many years ago), I was able to order them from PARMA, but at a minimum 50 pieces of each. Of course, at that time I was able to sell them off easily because that's what we were running in our local "Mini Modified" series, along with a lexan Womp Chevy Cavalier modified body that was made for us by one of our local racers. No promises, but if I come across one of the above, I'll let ya know!
I hope this info is of some use to you. Enjoy that "Petite Pony" racer you've created!

Thanks ernie for the info yeah the womp is my favorite chassis
Be it in stock form or modified as far as the bodys go
I get a lot of satisfaction carving my own bucks out and running
Them on my track i also have an offset modified that fits on riggen
And womp chassis as well.

I'll bet ya that's a Rhino lexan "Cobra II" body you've got there. It kinda looks like a Pinto/Mustang II modified, right?
Forgot about that one, it was one of my favorites, too, 'cause it's a FORD !!
Enjoy... Ernie
