Default 73-77 Nascar rear spoiler

Hi everybody, I am getting ready to restore a '75 monte, and this one I want to clone into a NASCAR look-alike. I am aiming for the Hawaiian Tropic theme that you see on the Laguna/Monte Carlo in The Cannonball Run.
These cars had a tiny rear spoiler. Does anyone know where to get one or have dimensions so I can make my own?

Sounds like a fun project. I don't have any contacts about how or where to get such a spoiler. Maybe some of the guy's on here can help you. It may have to be custom fabricated. I would love to see some pictures of your project. It is nice to see some of the older Monte's on here.

Thanks, I always thought the Laguna they shoot into the pool, in Cannonball Run looked really cool with the stickers, bars on the rear window, the spoiler etc. Always wanted to clone it :-)
Now I got a hold of two 75 Monte Carlo's and they come with a Cadilla 472 engine. Toruque monster! Had a 1974 and a 1977 in the past. Love them.
It's time for red paint and stickers :-)
I realize I may have to do something custom to get a rear spoiler put on. It will propably be next to impossible to find a genuine one from an old Nascar vehicle.
I have looked to the spoiler on a 3rd gen Camaro og 2nd gen Trans Am. The center piece on the trunk could be customized to fit nicely on the trunk lid of the Monte.

time to go to work.
