He sure did take a beating, didn't he.  Glad he's getting fixed.  What's wrote on the quarters?

For a car that was jumped it sure looks good.   No body damage like quarter panel sag, doors line up and no damage I could see in another picture from under like it's bottomed out after a landing.    :scratchchin:   Must have been a very light jump.    :scratchchin: :shruggy:

If it is the car in the movie Colier and Company, then I think it was a very light jump or the landing was very light as it did not seem to take that hard of a hit like the Gen. Lee did in the series.

 :scratchchin:  Could be.   If it's the one that landed in mud and water then that would make sense.

I don't remember too much since its been a while since I saw the movie that's the only jump right? (into the water?) and I saw that car (or was there a hero car?) back when it was actually pretty at mopars at the strip parked next to bo's general lee promoting the movie

When I bought Traveler my main concern was frame damage but according to Breet Popwell that was there LUCKILY the car landed on a sand dune that doubled as a pillow but no one knew it at the time. Also John had people put in the thickest frame rails the entire length of the car so to not bend the frame and an 8 point roll cage. Ive never seen a stock never touched Charger with complete quarters. He really is in great shape. John wrote the dates and the cities Collier and Co and the car went to. And signed his name the complete drivers side front fender. It has no gas tank as they put in a fuel cell for the jump.

The Bad News. All the damage was to the font valance was twisted the sway bar bent and the drivers side front end ball joint tie rod were all twisted..I got a front valance already and we have to weld down the frame rails that pertrude threw the trunk as we got  new trunk floor through CT Body works..

Awesome. Looking forward to the progress. While I don't totally understand your position on/in the other thread, I refuse to be part of the problem and dog-pile. Good luck with your ride.

Well I got a few calls and emails today from people that actually count in the Mopar world and they all said the same thing this is the wost Dodge Charger site on the planet as the reputation is very well know and thats sad that a bunch of guys HATERS like that stupid Meth comment come from ignorant people that have no life and no ambition..I dont want this thread to turn into THAT THREAD. If your not part of the sollution your only part of the problem.

No problem. Think the worst is behind us. The Daytona is a 500 clone built by Crazy Jack Struller.. the owner Rene. Just. Got a sick new hemi to replace the 440..if you say all the mopars on set you'd freak

Rene is not a big fan of Hemi's so i doubt that.     He's putting a New 440 in it  .

Too bad the grill took some damage.  What color was the car originally?  I see B5 blue on the doors.

Blue..most of the dash glove box all blue..title says orange and you can see green under the orange primer bit no cancer thank God. I wanted to zipstrip it than blast it. Jack just shakes his head..this is to be his last restore after 40 years of doing it. I'm glad its Traveler...Jack's been my hero a long time
