Love that color.

One interesting part of the narrative is that Pat (the car's owner) said that 1995 Lincoln Town Car trunk hinges were close to being the right shape/size...   

Nice looking car!

[Charger1973]

What I found most interesting about the reading was that he said he got his parts from Showcars.  Thats the first time I think I have heard anyone talk good about them.

I believe that Gary Mendelows daytona.Or has one similar to that one .I landed him a 69 charger 500 parts car years ago

I thought Gary's car was B5 blue?  At any rate, the article says that the car was built by and belongs to Pat Kaniuga.

Actually Pat sold the car to someone in Alberta, but I thought it might be a tad confusing in the article.
That is the first good thing I have ever heard from Showcars too...I wouldn't buy anything from them that I hadn't seen it person first.

I hope you guys enjoyed it...I thought it was a great looking ride!!!

HEY GUYS , HERE WE GO SUPER NICE , TOO BAD HE DIDN'T BUY MY A -PILLAR TRIM FOR 399.00 A PAIR AND MY TRUNK RE-PO TRUNK HINGES . A++++++++++++++++++++++++ JOB AND COLOR CHOICE !

[Daytona Guy]

In talking with Pat and sharing stories of the process I believe that Pat's Daytona clone is one of the best clones alive. He also, as of the last time we talked, owned a S-Bird.

I should mention that the Showcars nosecone does not have any mounts for the z-brackets.If you are planning to build a daytona clone,some fabricating skills are required anyway.
