The car was originally raced by Dave Schultz in 2002 and 2003 as a low 11-second [[bracket car]] with a 451 and automatic. In September 2003, Dave bought the [[Texas Big Bird]] to the [[Monster Mopar Weekend]] as an exhibition -- and saw the [[Nostalgia Super Stock]] class for the first time.
 +
 +
Upon returning home -- Dave immediate sent the Coronet to [[Texas Thunder Performance]] in Frisco, TX to be rebuilt as a [[NSS]] car. For the 2 years that the car was being transformed -- Dave raced a black 65 Coronet in Nostalgia Super Stock.

Mark Artis at Texas Thunder ripped out the old cage and installed a modern Chrome Molly cage; [[back-halved]] with a coil-over Ford 9" ladder bar rear; replaced the glass with [[Lexan]]; and replaced the metal bumpers, hood, front fenders, and deck lid with fiberglass. The motor was a 540 CI [[Wedge]] built by Damon Kuhn, the transmission a [[Jerico 4-speed[[, and the [[clutch]] a [[Boninfante]]. The car was painted "Texas Thunder Red" with the Texas Thunder checkerboards.
