Good resources to learn about vintage Modifieds?

[OldNYJim]

I’m gearing up to start working on an MPC Rat Trap Chevy Vega modified here, and whilst I’ve worked on and raced some of the lower classes round the short ovals I’ve never really messed with the cooler (and older) stuff...

Here’s what I’m working on:

I spent a couple of afternoons doing some research but I never really found much in the way of detailed pics of this exactly style of car - lots of stuff way older or way newer but not much in between.  Lots of old race photos and trackside stuff but less really useful references for exactly what I’m trying to build.

Anyone got any good resources or hints and tips on building a pavement modified like this?  Want to learn some stuff!

I admittedly don't know much about this kind of racing, but it's been my impression over the years that the guts of the cars haven't changed that much for decades.

Assuming that, these books might be of some value to you:

Ohh, those all look invaluable!  To the library!  Thanks Bill!
