A lot of used parts, Cheap as possible?  Huh?  That was way back.

n efficient inter-cooled Axial flow compressor, i.e. KB or Whipple works wonders for big time grunt. 

Sure have a lot of time effort parts and skill into "Daisy"

You know, 2nd Gen Chargers clean up real well.

Ever think about sealing up the body & rattle can flat black till you finally decide she should be pretty?


If you think this build is being done "cheap as possible" then you must live a wonderful life.  This car may not win car shows, but he has spent quite a large amount of money on drive train.  When you count labor (because he could have been making money working on customer's cars) then he has really got a large investment in this car.  If it were mine, I definitely wouldn't call it cheap.    :Twocents:

I don't believe you understood I was joking.  There is an awful lot of cash, fine planning and craftsmanship that went into Daisy.

I'm sure the OP never dreamed he would take it this far.

I am a smart ass and a smart aleck....I get misunderstood a whole lot online. I rarely go on the attack against anyone but my sarcasm is often hard to convey. I guess it is more common than I thought!
Those emoticons above do help...a laugh, the head slap, eye roll... they do come in handy to soften the blow of the joke- insults.

Pretty much dead one, I didn't plan on this car. It just morphed into what it is now. A lot of things I wanna do different but instead of back tracking I'll just finish it how it is. I'll improve on "daisy 2.0" lol. Learned a lot on this one

I was looking for you guys, but someone said you took off in a hurry.    :shruggy:

Took off in a hurry? I didn't spend a lot of time with the car. Was busy looking at what there was to see at the show

You did good, any plans on paint?

Lotta work done since last post, fuel system, ice box for intercooler, and started making the stainless headers out of a used set of NASCAR headers I've cut up and re shaped. Best headers being tri-y's and fab work is best for the NASCAR stuff. Just a pain welding .025" thick thin wall stainless
