Doug Scott is our kind of guy. After totaling his '69 Chevelle back in the 1980s, he was determined to someday recreate the spirit of that car while simultaneously incorporating his love of classic NASCAR. And with that, we introduce to you the monster of a muscle car you see above.

With a goal of creating a street-legal car that could also be a "road race track-day car," Scott took a beat-up Chevelle body and mated it to the chassis of a retired late-1990s Chevy Monte Carlo Cup car that had ended its life in NASCAR's ARCA series. As you'd expect, such an undertaking is far more in-depth than lining up a few body mounts. Surprisingly, when asked about his auto repair background, Scott said he was "just a hot rodder with decent metal skills."

To keep the final product looking as stock as possible, he stripped the race car chassis down to its roll cage and floorpan and cut up the body of the Chevelle so that it was basically just a sheet-metal shell. For power, he's using a 434 cid Chevy small-block, which he hopes will produce somewhere in the neighborhood of 700 hp. With all the custom fabrication going on, Scott didn't hesitate when asked what the toughest thing has been about this project.

"The most challenging part of this build is that every single thing is custom," he said. "I'm always having to think three or four steps ahead to make sure the part I'm installing now won't get in the way down the road."

Looking like the lead car in a Death Proof sequel, Scott says the car is still a few months away from being driven, as he has to tackle the complete wiring of the car as well as exorcise some demons lurking in the rear brakes. When all is said and done, he aims to have the car out on the track to play with his Corvette- and Porsche-driving friends.
