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

What happens here

With exterior panels removed, the focus shifts to the car's interior. The old oil tank is drained using an adjustable wrench and then removed. The oil tank is dated 'OT 129 1876,' indicating it was originally from Bobby Labonte's #18 car, chassis #76. The electronics panel, containing MSD ignition boxes labeled '2051,' is unbolted and carefully removed. The battery is also removed, revealing it was installed in June 2007. The crew takes out the rear heat exchanger, and the entire interior is vacuumed to remove dirt and debris, with a goal of preparing it for a thorough wash.

Goal: Remove interior components and clean the cockpit.

they are clean those off now we can get to these top Parts here we'll get this Wiggins clamp off get this cover off and then go in from the bottom the oil tank is just kind of held in with these cushioned bands here there shouldn't be any oil in here but just in case there is we are going to use a drain [Music] pan just notice something here the lower shock mount on this truck arm is broken off see what it's supposed to look like over there and considering the forensic evidence of that side of the car being new and some Tire flapping around banging around inside the fender I would say that uh some type of impact happened over here before this so we'll add that to the list to fix it but this is ready to come out so this oil tank lived in a different car at one point you see 1876 that would mean car number 18 chassis 76 just like this car is 1958 it looks like somebody already marked that so when you take these two halves apart they don't get disoriented but we're going to add our own marks anyway after we wipe it off cut the battery door off and I see they got the this real fancy hole down in here to hold the battery down just they uh well I guess it works pretty I guess it works pretty good cuz I can't even get it out without two hands but it's just a piece of roll bar foam just kind of taped together at the right height to keep it from bouncing that's kind of funny whenever Jeff said he just put their engine transmission in it painted orange and ran it he meant it cuz I just pulled this battery out this is new 619 2007 that means Joey Lano was racing with this battery in the car and a relatively underwhelming yet critical job is taking the stickers off the side that is not new because we're going to have to sand all of this taking off the lame stickers first so you can practice preserving them yeah so I can like save the cool ones I will take the rear end cooler out so we can have that cleaned too not going as smoothly as it should be do it carefully let's see if I can just leave the three yes we rigged up a battery to see if it'll still light up and stuff y it does cool noticed something neat taking these tabs off bottom one said RB and I thought hm that probably means right bottom top one yep it says RT right top so you don't get them mixed up because I was thinking I was going to have to label these don't have to they already do that the forensic evidence of Joey lano's car lies under here where there is still orange vinyl under these tabs because Jeff…
