I am sooooo tempted in posting a SRT-4 with that big spoiler on it

[Daytona Guy]

The Chrysler design department has my pics. I was flattered that they would even look at them. I was accepted at Art Center College of Design, and I know some designers. They said they wanted to know what people really are wanting and concepts do influence overall designs. Here is the Charger version.

I have to admit that that car as a whole would be a difficult task. The car is a brick. The NASCAR Charger shape is more like a funny car rendition. I do not like the lines of that car at all for a Daytona Areo car. Do not bame you. I would be sectioning and cutting like crazy.

Rene,
What's that under the grille on the 70?  Headlights?

[Brock Samson]

there are two square holes under the daytona nose...

Hey Dane, that's a pretty good one!
It's a little long in the snout (if you don't mind some constructive criticism), but overall, it looks great!!

[BigBlockSam]

hey Larry
those are two holes where the air is directed from the front spoiler

[Daytona Guy]

Not a problem, without criticism nothing improves. I prefer to call it evaluation. Thanks for the comp.

[hotrod98]

With the right baffling, I can see where those extra holes could improve cooling. With that small grille, it's amazing that a big block car could idle in traffic at all. I will certainly be working on the cooling aspect so that it's not a problem. I'm thinking aluminum radiator, factory fan, electric pusher fans, baffling and extra holes. Maybe a remote tranny cooler with a fan as well. Oh yeah, and a 100 amp alternator.

[A383Wing]

I put an electric pusher fan in front of my radiator.....helps in traffic.

A383Wing,
Did you hook it up thermostatically or manually with a switch?  Just curious.

When I installed the 5.9 liter 360 in my wife's 73 cuda, I eliminated the fan blade (it didn't align up with the fan shroud properly) and install daul puller fans thermostatically and it works great.

new hemi,

are you trying to spend more money than me this winter   

[Daytona Guy]

Here is your car Mark. I need your address and I will ship you a shirt. It was not in the front because every year 1 of the big 3 gets the front spot because the year before a Mopar was on the front. This still fits the thread because it is a clone.

hotrod, I have a separate manual switch under the dash. Have not really needed it around here. We did use it when we went to Alabama in 99 for the Wing Car reunion. I have a 19" 7 blade fan with a non-thermal fan clutch on the car now. Pulls lots of air in the front at low speeds, then disengages when rpm's climb.

another clone, look at what it says on the fender, strange

[Brock Samson]

that sucker's sure sittin low! weird decals... i dont like em... 

[BigBlockSam]

why does it say honda trophy on the fender?

[Brock Samson]

somethings really wrong with that one,.. look where the axel is in front,.. then look at the axel in back... WTF!?..
the fender scoops look suspect and none of the decals match anything i've ever seen before... it looks to be dragging on the ground and the entire car looks genaric.. like a soviet version or sumpthin..
