AMC NASCAR Matador

I have an AMC '70 Rebel "The Machine" - I searched out AMC and NASCAR and found the Matadors that were raced, Penske and Donohue is what came up and a number 16 car.

Upon examining the structure of the "The Machine" kit all the chassis stuff is molded in, and of course it was a unitized construction; the last AMT NASCAR Matador kit shows a different frame work that is all all together not of the unitized type structure, but much like that of the Chevelle. So what was the frame work like in the earlier NASCAR Matador's, was it sub frame in the front, or was it built around a perimeter frame. If it does work out this '70 Rebel "The Machine" might make a good dirt track stocker.

I need a few more frame details before I take to the idea of turning this '70 Rebel "the Machine" into a NASCAR project.
