The LRP in the chassis number is for Laughin Racing Products, the company most teams ordered their chassis from before they started building their own. The 03 and 98 is the date the chassis was built, March 1998. 0341 is the chassis number.
It is possible the PR026 number stamped above the manufacturer's chassis number on the cross bar could indicate this was originally a Phoenix Racing chassis built for James Finch. He fielded 110" wheelbase cars for both Cup and ARCA drivers throughout the 1990s. He also ran some Busch races in the late 90s with Jeff Purvis in a #4 car, though that would have been a 105" car. But it is hard to say what all those little 4's written all over the parts represented, or who put them there.
In my experience on the number 4, When you have a shop with multiple cars , you will tend to number the parts that came off that specific car, even though they look the same some stuff fits different for aero reasons and or fabrication reasons. So more than likely that could have been chassis #4 in their shop if that makes sense. Definitely a very nice car though.
Looks like Cheez-It sponsored Buckshot at Michigan, Indy and Daytona for Cup in 1999. So that may be where the red came from. I’d also say the WC4 is Winston Cup chassis 4.
The "4" could be [chassis #4] of possibly 6, 7, 8 etc. chassis' for that purchase group. (If not being it's race number) As a former race-chassis builder, that's what I would guess... all the related parts would be numbered per each ordered roller.

The sticker on the right front wheel looks like the James Finch Phoenix Racing logo with the white eagle.
I'm going to pull the wheel off soon to see.
Quite awesome. Can't wait to see the progress on the hot wheels car.
Keep the aerocoupe and turn it into a Tim Richmond Folgers car 😉
That would be cool

just found your channel, nice collection! been gettin into nascar again recently and your channel is for sure somethin i'll enjoy watchin!
Awesome! Thanks!
I love it. All you need now is a mid-2000s Dodge with the vacuum cleaner nose to complete the Kyle Petty set😄
Morgan McClure ran a Pontiac in 2003 I believe
I was thinking the same thing
Congrats on the new purchase. Interested in the Monte if you decide to sell it.
love these videos, id love to own a vintage cup car!...i miss them days
You should! They aren't as expensive as you might think.
i have a street stock car i race weekly...i can barely afford that lol
1999 #00 Cheez-it car?
Total guess…
Buckshot ran both Cup and Busch. I’d guess the WC is Winston Cup and #4 would indicate it was chassis #4 in their fleet.

I've been looking for a Skoal Bandit car
Alot of work ahead of you Scott, but when you apply the Hot Wheels decals it's going to be Badass....

Hey! That’s Eric’s old Monte! That’s cool!!
Maybe winston cup chassis 4?
Buckshot did run a cheez-it 00 in 99
The Hot Wheels car is such a good looking car. Good choice.
