Man that is one nasty modified.  IIRC I read a story on that one as being one of the last modifieds that ran the Daytona Modifieds during Speedweeks several years ago.  I also seem to remember it was cars such as this which made NASCAR decide to quit running modifieds: they were way fast, hard to handle at speed, and much too expensive except for the best sponsored race teams.  Of course I could be wrong about that. No matter I am going to watch this one.

Wow, what a transformation. Looking forward to the finished build. I actually owned a 1975 monza, bought brand new from the dealership I worked for. It had a small v8 in it . cant remember the displacement. Good car but the a.c. kept going out on it.
