DAYTONA UPDATE , PILLARS , INSTALLED AND POLISHED

[nascarxx29]

It was 1 of the only 2 cars Ted Built cars early on By his own hand and parts .He finished a yellow one first from a 69 RT .And I picked up the orange car 70 318 AC car that was pretty much there .And traded a superbird body for the orange one  .Just needing tweaking in some areas like trunk hinges headlight openings and trunk braces .And mechanicals.It had a white stripe no daytona letter cut out.Later got letters made.Applied and painted wing black.We thought the nose seals looked good with color on them .

I offered this one totally free to the guy who got my car with the smooth hood.And he left it behind .

I'll take it off your hands.

[daytonalo]

I don't think it was jacked up high enough ! Now that you no longer own a daytona , cant wait to see your progress on your daytona clone with a plug of any type . Welcome to the low class !!!!!!!!!!!!

Larry do you ever get tired of condemning everything and everyone? I seem to remember a time not to long ago you relied on Dave to answer all of your questions. You used his cars for measurements. We went with you in the middle of winter to cut a roof off of a car. May I add that Dave told you about this yard? Sit back and think for a few minutes. Dave found you the car, helped you find parts, allowed you to use his car for accurate information. And yet all you can do is put him down. He may not have his Daytona now, but he has had several real wingcars and a clone. You're too talented to be wasting your time and energy condemning the rest of the world. We all have our cars. We all love our cars. It isn't necessary for you to constantly look for arguments with everyone. Does it make you feel like more of man? Because all it really does is make you sound like a spoiled, jealous child. Grow up. Finish your car. Enjoy your car. And stop berating everyone else.

I love correcting the so called experts when a guy like me just gets into the hobby !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just for giggles, can you sum up what you have found to be true and what the experts were wrong about? Just curious.

[daytonalo]

If anyone out there has a superbird could you simply give me the measurements on the screw holes on the windshield pillars , it would be greatly appreciated  ? Thank You ,LARRY

[nascarxx29]

Didnt take any measurements.This might reference where the screws go

[nascarxx29]

Or ask Eric

[daytonalo]

Thank you ,

This topic is going and going, but doesn't stay on one subject.

Just curious, but why nit pick other people's work all the time? Do you think your the greatest or something? Don't get me wrong your progress so far does look good, but there is also a time and a place for pointing out imperfections on others cars. Some people know their parts aren't right, but are comfortable with that due to the amount they were willing to spend to do a clone.

Others have deep pockets, or they have talents to do their own work. Not everyone is blessed like that.

[daytonalo]

Since when can a person make a comment when a nose is the wrong shape or a wing is dimensionally wrong ,is this board run by Nazi's , no this is a place to discuss issues!!!!!!!!!!!! I have never pointed out a a particular part and said that individual has no talent . I am aware that some people are clueless , and if someone post a car why in the hell cant we as wing car lovers voice our opinion's ? Just because you think the world is a friendly place paved with daisy's and lilacs that mean we all agree , no , trust me there are no free rides for anything nice , its just hard work and determination ! Last but not least ,always CALL IT AS YOU SEE IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That said do you need a hug , poopy ?  The only reason I share me knowledge is not to belittle anyone ! I do this to hopefully show people that they can do themselves and maybe see a method or technique they never thought of !!!!! Now get of the couch and start a daytona  clone and help a brother out !!!!!!!!!!

[Ghoste]

Get off the couch?  Geez man, Danny already owns a legit 500 and probably knows as much or more about those cars than anyone else I can think of.  Further to that, he freely helps people all the time.  Throw rocks at me if you want, I'm just a post whoring freeloader but give the guys who deserve it, credit.

[daytonalo]

I was not blessed withdeep pockets or a trust fund !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 THE ONE AND ONLY WAY I WILL OWN A HEMI DAYTONA IS TO BUILD A REPLICA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!i I WILL GIVE NO CREDIT TO A GUY WHO HAS ADVICE OR COMMENTS ON WHERE , HOW OR WHEN THINGS SHOULD BE DONE WHEN MOST GUYS OUST STROKE A CHECK OR GET DADDY TO BUY THEM A CAR !!!!!!!!! WE NEED ANOTHER SECTION FOR GUYS WHO OWN ORIG DAYTONA,AND NEVER DID A FULL RESTO OF ANY TYPE , AND ANOTHER SECTION FOR THE LESS FORTUNATE LIKE MOST OF US WHO PUT IN THE LONG HOURS , AND  KNOW WHAT IT TAKES TO BUILD A CAR FROM THE GROUND UP , NOT SOME CAR COLLECTOR WHO KNOWS HOW TO TURN A KEY AND MAYBE CHANGE THE OIL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!This is directed at anyone in particular , I like all you guys even the guys who know what Vin# a daytona should be with a column shift ,and the guy who blessed with an orig car who bought it years ago and does nothing with it because they cant restsore because of lack of ability or money , I'm not one pf those , I'm a guy who has built many of cars , trucks and raceboats from scratch form a pile of poop !!!!!!!!!!!

[Ghoste]

Larry, you're gonna give yourself a stroke before you ever get to enjoy that car.  Relax more, be angry less.

[daytonalo]

Yea , your probably right , I'm pretty intense , substandard is not in my vocabulary ! I want to make a statement , I will always go out of my way for friends and strangers and if I have rubbed anyone the wrong way please forgive me . That said I will not deny that I like to mix it up once in a while . Thanks to all for in this section who make this site what it is , GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!!! If I take a stroke will someone please give my car a good home !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[daytonalo]

Hey Annie/Dave , on that 318 clone , is that the car with the plywood trunk hinges , I remember something about that ?

[Ghoste]

Larry, I will give your car a FANTASTIC home.  But I'd much rather see see you finish it and drive it to some meet where we can each enjoy a beer and debate in person.

[nascarxx29]

Those where some of the areas I said improved upon .I said earlier Ted lendt me his original daytonas trunk hinge.To get those makeshift combo wood and fiberglass ones out.I was all over doing my details .Only detail I didnt address was the a-pillars.As I sold this car for $7500.00 .Which was the $ to buy daytona and parts in the mid 80-s

[nascarxx29]

Not my car But my time labor and energies and several other friends.Went into building it with all real superbird parts. I had or located.The owner my friend is happy how it turned out.Its a clone to be picked apart if you like .Buts its a original FM3 panther pink 70 Satellite convertible 318 car .Now has a 440& Dana 60 rallye dash 15x7 rallyes

I find it hard to believe that daytonaloo has time to do anything but belittle members on this site let alone fabricate parts.  For no apparent reason he has mocked, name called etc no less than 3 members in this thread alone....stranger thing is after all that, out of the blue he asks a question about Superbird parts like a normal person and gets a normal answer
Not enough meds?  Too many meds?
Your "holier than thou" attitude is getting real old..........
