If you are getting serious about this Daytona clone build, PM me and I can give you details of what I did, and I still have all of the reference measurements/pics of Daytonas I used to do mine. Including how I got the pop up lights to work.
One thing to consider is how far you want to go in making it a Daytona "clone." Planning to just do the nose and wing, or the rear window too. I built one using all of Janak's parts, and found a Charger 500 back glass. If you do the "fastback" rear window you will need either a fiberglass plug...
I would look at the issue date on the title. If it confirms he's had the car for 20 years, why sell it after having all if that work done? (Did he find something more wrong? Or money/health issues?). If the issue date on the title does not confirm the 20 year claim, I would walk away.
A "Mold Master." It heated up a plastic then you pushed own a plunger forcing the plastic into a mold which made military vehicles, figures, and a lot of other things depending on the mold selected. Best toy in the world for someone whose Old Man worked in a foundry.
What you can see on the underbody concerns me also. There appears to be some repair panels in place that look to be the standard EDP coating, there are a couple of places where you can see the spray on undercoating (what's hiding under that?). And in a couple of pics you can see rust under...
Seeing the question on neutral safety switches made me think (a bad habit for me). Anyone doing restorations on the relay that operates the headlight doors on 70/71 Chargers?
I liked "Fantomworks<" they tended to show more "real world" things that happen in the shop. Not just 30 minutes of jokes, "expert" commentary, and presto the car is finished. Particularly liked the show when Ed Miller built a Hem for them.
Not being a fan of the can of fix-a-flat spare in the newer cars, looking at putting a full size spare in one. Question is, would putting a spare complete with a TPS sensor in the spare screw up the vehicle's tire pressure monitoring system?
If so am I correct in assuming a spare without a TPS...
Greetins' all,
Looking for a wheel so I can have a 'real" spare in the Challenger. This wheel carries a 245/45ZR20 tire, factory wheel for a 21 Scat Pack with the 392. The closer to Central Va, the better.
Thanks FBBO
I have a factory go wing on a 71 R/T. The decklids on the 70/71 cars had "cut-outs" in the decklid braces which located the support plates for the wing pedestals. Bolt the support plates to the braces and that gives you a template to locate the holes for the wing pedestals. The OP's pics do...
