Dale Earnhardt's 2000 GOODWRENCH Monte Carlo - Rockingham winner

Quote from Chris:
"The interior of the car features a full wiring harness,a steering wheel radio "com" cable, working racing harness and a working window net. The inside also features MSD ingition boxes with coils,and a handmade "Earnhardt bar". It also has fully detailed dashboard, and the metal line that houses the fuel line was also added to the passenger side of the chassis.

The body features included are the opening roof flaps, and the decklid has been cut out from the body and a resin trunk structure was used on the underside of the trunk lid. The car also has photo etched hood pins, handmade spoiler rods on the rear of the decklid. The hood and deckid hinges are fully operational so the hood and decklid can be in either the up or down positon. The front grills were cut out and replaced with detail master screen.The body also has added support rods throughout the entire car.

The trunk details include a fully detailed fuel cell with a fuel filter, the overflow tube and the metal filler tube. The rear end of the car is fully plumbed, with an actual belt on the rear end pulley. The car has rear braided brake lines to each wheel and the rotor hub assemblies were hand made except for the Detail Master drilled brake disc that were used. The rear end suspension on this car works, including the rear shocks and springs.

The front of the car also features real front springs and working front shocks also. The engine compartment has all braided detail master water, oil and fuel lines and the appropiate fittings for each line. Each pulley has an actual belt, the pulleys are from the kit with the kit belts removed and sanded round.The distributor was removed and replaced with a pre wired disbutor and the plug wires were ran to the correct plugs. The carberator has the throttle linkage added,and the bowls have been drilled out. The oil cooler was handmade from parts found in my junk box. The wheels had the lugs and studs removed as well as the hubs and then they were simply drilled out. "
