The initial build plan was to go with a Pro Street motif, that was until owner Mark Giles got a job at a stock car chassis shop and his aspirations shifted. His boss tried to convince him to build a three-link with coilovers, but Mark wanted to make it like a Cup car. He started working on the frame in the living room of his apartment until he moved to Virginia, where he could really get to work. There he built the cage, fabricated the inner tin work, and started the bodywork. He took a factory nose and created an air dam and gutted a hood to clear his air cleaner. A flat hood would have worked if he stuck to his big-block Chevy with no carburetor spacer plan, but after seeing what a 2-inch spacer did to his dyno numbers, he made the sacrifice. He swapped out the original front and back glass for Lexan pieces from Pro-Glass, but kept the stock door glass. Consumed with the race aspects of the build, Mark ran the door bars right where the window crank needed to be. Instead of moving the bars, he found a set of electric window motors as the solution and ended up being the only piece of luxury in this race car. Mark tricked out the rest of the car with oval exhaust tubing, pinion-mounted parking brake, and a dry-sump oiling system.
