IT'S TIME! Buying Our First Former NASCAR Race Car! (Former Busch Series Monte Carlo)

What happens here

The focus returns to the primary Monte Carlo stock car. The crew begins the initial disassembly by removing the hood, which is secured by pins. The radiator is also removed. This is followed by the removal of the windshield, which Jeff noted makes cleaning much easier.

Goal: Begin disassembling the stock car for cleaning and inspection.

Tools and materials

  • Hood Pins — Securing the hood
  • Radiator — Engine cooling component
  • Screwdriver — Removing screws from the windshield frame
  • Windshield — Clear front window
