What happens here

Continuing the discussion, Thomas highlights specific construction details of his #63 car. He shows how the trunk lid retains its original factory sheet metal inner support, explaining that earlier cars used stock body panels that were then modified. He notes the car currently has a fiberglass bumper cover, a common modification by the mid-90s, replacing the earlier rubber bumpers. The engine bay features an 18-degree 358 small block V8, a period-correct setup for 1995, delivering about 720 horsepower. This powerful engine is paired with a Jerico 4-speed transmission and a 9-inch rear end, typical of Cup cars from the late 80s to late 90s.

Goal: Understand the detailed technical aspects of the #63 Lysol vintage stock car.
