moparstuart superbird clone

[hotrod98]

The 70 Charger front clips are more rare than the 70 Coronet clips. At least with the Coronet clip, they were avalable on every model made including the
four door and the wagon. I've been urging my customers to go ahead and buy a 70 charger to begin with to make the build go a little quicker...and cheaper too.
I've seen several coronet fenders and hoods at swap meets lately for less than a grand in some cases. That's a bargain for a part that will never be reproduced.

well i have real daytona fenders for my build and think i have located a real daytona hood !!!! cross your fingers may take some song and dance to get the hood

Are your daytona fenders repairable? I thought I remembered seeing them. The ones that I saw were definitely not salvagable in my opinion.
A fender doesn't have to be very bad to be unusable. They tend to twist and stretch when they get bent very badly. I was just barely able to save the left fender on my clone and it looked pretty good before I stripped it. I spent two days heat shrinking it and beating on it and even then I figure that I have close to half a gallon of polyester filler in it. I probably have close to 24 hours in that fender altogether. When you calculate 24 hours even at $40 and hour, that's $960 in labor to save a $500 fender.
If I had to do it all over again, I would buy a better fender. :angry3:

Must be something about wives and Superbirds. Back when I had mine, my (then) wife would take it out on occasion while I was at work. So I bought her a Plum Crazy 71 Challenger.

and yeah....that's when I sold my bird
