Great work on your Monte Chris, this is what most of us want to see an in progress build. I have a question the floor board you cut out had the oil lines on them what are the 2 square items the oil lines run into, if they are coolers what will you use to replace them.

I have yet to see the oil coolers like those on the pics i found. I,ll just use strait lines with out the cooler and instead have a underhod cooler.

Killer start, great idea on cutting out the molded in oil lines. Much easier than sanding them down. Which is what I have done in the past, very time consuming.

Chris, I live right in the middle of NASCARville which is probably why I've allways hated NASCAR. No slight towards you though, cause you build some beautiful cars. Your attention to detail makes your cars awsome. I'll stick to hot rods and drag cars but I'm picking up some good pointers from looking at you stock cars.

Nice work Chris! That shovelnose came out smooth! I like the bar extention you did to fill it too.
Now, that last pic, is that cigarette pack silver foil paper I see?
Someone else did that too. I think it was cb1000r. Check out some of his builds. You and he oughta get together and go bowling because you do such awesome NASCAR builds.
Right on, man!
