AFC designed Vette body's all feature removable deck lids. Lack of access to the rear area of the body (trunk) was a major draw back of the 63-2003 Vette bodies. For many years Vettes were not used in many classes because of the many draw backs, such as no deck lids, short wheel base, lack driver room, no room for good 4 link geometry, etc. AFC remedied all the draw backs when they designed the new line of 63-67 Vette bodies. They feature raised quarters, rear axle center line moved back, enlarged wheel openings, longer doors, an extended cowl, more windshield angle, and recontoured nose grill, etc. As well as the standard features described in the beginning of the text that all AFC bodies have.

AFC also produces many older body styles that are a component design. This means the quarter panels are designed to Dzus on and off for tire changing and do not have integral rocker panels or 360° ceiling flanges that the one piece rear clip bodies have. This is done to keep smaller rear wheel openings and to keep the look of older body styles. These body styles 53 Studebaker, 57 'Mega Ford', and the well known 58 "Christine" Plymouth. Some body styles that are supplied from other sources (such as 5 Star, Cavalier, and Grand AM "Pro Stock" Bodies) are also component designed, except the quarter panels and window channels are designed to bond to the roof panels and not to designed to be removable.

Ask any of these builders that have used A.F.C. bodies ADVANCED, ART, BEVIS, BICKEL, BRC, CHASSIS ENGINEERING, DAKOTA, GEBHARDT, HARRAH, KENNEDY, LODER, MONDEN, MULLIS, PEYTON, PROSTART, RJ, RACE TECH, ROBINSON, SAMPSON, SARAMENTO, SPITZER, S&W, STOUPE, SUNCOAST, TALIAFERRO, WORTHY, UNDERCOVER AND YANCER (JUST TO NAME A FEW) ANDY ROBINSON (ENGLAND) AND TORSTEN KATH (GERMANY)

AFC 'Doorslammer' doors feature inverted door panel design (this is where the inner door panel turns back in, to bond to the outer door skin) creating a very strong lightweight door design. The front of the doors a designed for easy hinge installation as well as added strength in the hinge area. All late model doors are designed to accept factory handles, latches etc, most AFC doors have integral window frames with recesses for easy Lexan installation and last but not least an 1" wide recessed flange on the door flange that goes behind, adding support ceiling abilities to the rear of the fenders.
