Here's a link to the Petty "kit car" option http://www.allpar.com/model/aspen.html the specific data is about 2/3 down the page.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Re: I Think it Was Direct Connection
I believe that the kit was used to race the car as a dirt track. If I remember correctly, the car came with a disassembled roll cage that needed to be welded together, and a sheetmetal body kit. The car used small block engines (usually either 340 or 360) and 4 speed manual (owner supplied). I can't remember if the rear end was included or not. It was sold thru Direct Connection.Originally posted by Girl@The Wheel

on small cars yes. but fat fender cars are pretty much the same in size and weight as the donor car. i found s10 brakes work great on fat fender and pickups. a deuce will just need manual brakes...
Time for brakes
