  I can ask somefriends that cut window plugs out of superbirds that got parted.To see if they have or will sell Maybe a wanted ad in both wingcar newsletters might turn one up if repos arent available yet

[DAY CLONA]

I only offer the Daytona plugs in steel, the Superbirds plugs I offer are in fiberglass....reason being, the Superbird plug is finished in a more superficial look with the diamond plates and vinyl roof covering the seams,  where as the Daytona is molded into the body,...if your considering a fiberglass plug drop me a PM here on DC.com

thanks guys.  Stu...  email sent to D Currie

Doug, I don't know if ill have a lot of time to run a ad, GYC sent me a email asking if I wanted to try to find a metal one or have them order a glass one.
(looks like they about ready to weld / glass one in.}
Used from a donor car would be fine too. Id Just prefer a metal plug...but if I cant find one...glass will work.

My name is John, I sent a message asking for pricing on the window plug.   What else do you make for the wing cars? Nose, wing, latch tray, z bars? I am putting together an upcoming Daytona project and am getting part together now.  When can you deliver?  I am sure other members would like to know these things, so if you answer them you can avoid needless emails sent.  Looking forward to knowing these things.  Thanks.

 I looked and asked around for a original plug. I had a spare window plug less glass and chrome .Leftover from our FM3 Conv superbird build .Guy I sold it never got back to me .Dave Patik or Doug might have a N.O.S one 

[nascarxx29]

 If one turns up anywhere will post it here

John, many top quality parts available for the Daytona from the guys here...Larry R, Dane, others. Up to a year for a metal Daytona/bird nose cone from me as it's standing now. I can do the bird plug in about 6 weeks as it's pretty straightforward and other small parts as quick but not the nosecones.

[bigdogdublin]

I have a steel plug

Hi Don. I am in the market for a rear window plug for Superbird myself. PM sent


And a question for Gymratt. What happened to the white bird? Why is it back at GYC and why the need for a new plug? Inquiring minds want to know.

There is a guy that took over Jacks business,he is in Commerce Ga.I will find out his name.

Daytona and Superbird Steel Components

Hello Fellow Mopar Fans,

Allow me the opportunity to introduce myself: My name is James Davis. I just joined  this forum and want to take this opportunity to announce specific wing car components  we hand-craft at my facility here in the peach state: Georgia.  

Jack McCaughey (JMI/wingcarfab.com) was a close and talented friend who manufactured steel noses, steel rear window plugs and various other wing car specific parts for fellow enthusiasts.  Although Jack has passed, a tradition of producing these components will now continue as a tribute to my departed friend.
Although it has taken much time, effort, determination, and patience, success in fabricating these components has been achieved.  All equipment, tooling, templating,and a host of original parts Jack utilized in his operation has been relocated into a 1940's era dealership I call home. My background includes engineering and machining working in the aerospace industry.
Current reproduction rear glass and trim offered for sale for all three aero cars was patterned from original components I supplied to the major manufacturer. This greatly reduced the possibility of a bad fit of the reproduction glass into our rear plug for either a 500, Daytona, or Superbird.
The steel noses for either car are fabricated, assembled (held together with sheet-metal screws), crated and shipped in an un-welded state. However, for absolute best fitment, I prefer a "tailor-built" approach to a particular car due to the many factors that influence overall nose fitment.

If there is interest, I will respond with images and information-just ask.

Looking forward to hearing from some of you soon.

James
