Thirdgen-Bodied Stock Cars, NASCAR, and Oval Racing Picture Thread

We know about the IROC series cars, but apparently there were a lot of thirdgen-bodied oval track cars back in the day. I randomly came across all of these and figured why not start a picture thread for them.

Post what you have!

You can build a nice car on a budget, why not keep us updated with a build thread?
Norris Racing Products in Ramona just east of San Diego makes a nice 3rd gen body.
This is the owners car. "Black Betty"

Guys,

i am sure you realize all these cars are tube framed with skinned bodies. I did this for 20 years. They were beautiful but nothing other than a stock looking body.

Yeah im pretty sure most know they're tube chassis since they are race cars. The last car is more of an actual car compared to the others as it actually started out from a 3rd gen carcass. Quarters roof and floor all original. Everything else is tube and fiberglass.
