O.K. Maybee my 2 years turned into more like 4 or 6 since my memory came back. I started in `95 ::) and I made my final pickup christmas of  02 when I drove down to houston. I`ll remember that cause my son wasn`t even a year old. Glad he slept a lot. And that was in December :icon_smile_question:  Weather check!

I think I would wait for quality part.And not the quality line of parts .Where you have to abandon useage of supplied parts like the headlight buckets and z brackets and no mounting hardware scoops

We admit it...we're impatient sob's. I hate waiting for anything. I hated waiting 6 months for my crate hemi to get here and then took a year to install it. As long as I'm in control...it's okay. But when others make me wait...I hate it. I think most people are like that really.

As I have said before though, I do understand that this wing car parts business is a sideline for most and that it won't be run like a regular full time company. I don't think anyone could make a living from solely selling daytona parts. These guys have regular day jobs.   
After all...a guy has to eat...and buy mopar stuff. ;D

looks like you are doing an awesome job, i'd like to tackle something like that someday as the real cars are unafforadable. (is that a word?) I'm sure it will pay off and you will feel better about it when you are roasting the tires.

I do not believe that is enough of a market,for anyone to do just repro wingcar parts as a full time job,but there is more interest in the cars now,than there has ever been in the past. I think Mike is right,about Ted not saying,no,I'm sorry I can't make that right now! I would have rather heard that,than to be strung along for years.I think he would be better off to do what Mike does,and take orders for parts,and when there is enough to justify doing a run of a certain part,then make them,and ship them,then you can fill the odd parts during the lag times!

HEY DAVE , CORRECTION , I USED THE BUCKETS NOT THE PIVOTS  AND MADE STEEL Z BRACKETS . I WILL ASSURE YOU THAT I DIDN'T USE A STORM DOOR CYLINDER BRACKET ON MY CLONE TO MAKE THE HEADLIGHTS WORK LIKE YOU DID !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just havent had it necessary in my field ever to fiberglass in the headlight buckets. Where there had been a lack of mounting tabs on any jobs Ive done.Im glad to see its working out for you .I had reservations after seeing the kit .And it not being what I was used to seeing and working with.But you know what you were getting into.On this your 1st owned charger and daytona conversion .And have been able to make the needed corrections and make the needed parts .Inplace of using what was furnished.For me its a lot of reworking not my cup of tea sorry .I only had to sand and bolt together and make appearance adjustments.But I did choose not to trust a fiberglass headlight acuator to pivot bracket connection point.And did my own thing a came up  with the storm cylinder bracket..And to this day served my needs very well and undectible .And no long term troubles have come up.Along the sameline were you chose to retro fit pontiac GTO vac actuators.I didnt comdem you for that.You had a better idea..But I had no longterm fiberglass parts waiting .I had here at the house 2 fiberglass noses 1 of which went to Wet Feet Rick on this board also building a daytona ..You probably missed some of Mike G funny stuff writing you as call it as you joined this board later .That I had told you about aswell as furnishing the vega window plug and access to a real daytona and furnished extra parts from my stock to examine a real daytona.And got to ride for the first time in my customers real daytona.And the leed to the 70 charger itself your currently converting.I guess thats the kind of thanks I can expect for going out of my way to help friends out .But I have many to post saved on a cd .And will print out for you .I will bring all these compiled rants to any and all mopar events I will be attending .To further share with the mopar media and all.The following of which will be posted as there are so many sort through with and share

I LOOK AT IT THIS WAY , UNLESS A PERSON HAS BUILT A CLONE , SIT BACK AND LISTEN

Troy

Ok, try to keep it on topic this time...

Troy
Sarcasm detector, that's a real good invention.

genlee1970

So.....some of the major players have been taken out of the game.....how are they supposed to keep it on topic if they can't log on. Is NASCARXX on the bench as well? If so, is this only a "benching" or an all out ban?  Thanks.      Al

NOBODY IS BANNED , I THINK THEY ALL WENT TO SEE BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN !

Larry,
With such a small grille opening, why didn't dodge leave an opening in the valance area? Seems like the fan could pull more air in through there than through the grille especially at idle. To prevent air from being pulled out while moving, a small spoiler at the bottom of the core support could direct air up into the opening. Emphasis on small spoiler.

Not to through your topic of course, but my question for you is. Do factory daytonas or is it easier to use 69' dart front marker turn signal light for the set up. I found a pair of them and thtottught I would ask you beofre I mod a set up for my clone.
Thanks for any help/addvice. BTW, keep the photos coming and great work also, thanks.
