With the exeption of the tach, the car is a twin to the one that showed up at Shakopee last summer.
Hemigeno, the axle bumper mystery continues!?

We got a real good look at that car @ Carlisle this year.  Very nice car overall, but the term over-restored is definitely applicable.  As nice as that car is, I would not hold that car up as an absolute example of factory-correctness.  Hard to say what the axle bumpers were originally - although it's definitely possible they were the smaller triangle-shaped kind rather than the typical Dana-style.   :scope:

Just curious but does anyone have some of the paperwork he is listing in the acution?

•     Copy of 44 page Painting and Materials procedures which includes painting and masking techniques, trim, preparation, cleaning, drips,  flaws, stripes, interior, polishes and STANDARDS for the assembly line workers.

•     Copy of 5 page Daytona parts lists with blowup photos and detailed part descriptions and numbers specific to Daytona, dated 11-69

•     Copy of a 40 page study on Aerodynamic Development of the Daytona for Stock Car Competition.
   
•     115 page Copy of engineering drawings, plans and sheets. MORE OR LESS THE CORPORATION'S "DAYTONA BUILD BIBLE."

Interested in paperwork as well.I would to get a copy of that blank charger order form.

I noticed that they failed to post a picture of the front wheel trim though? So I thought I'd post a picture of it.

69_500

Hmm, now that I shrunk that down to 20% of its size its hard to see that its a modified 70 piece though and not the daytona wheel trim. Also looks like they painted one of the screws on the fender tag since Carlisle as well. Both screws were bare metal at Carlisle.

Here is a shot of it at Carlisle.

Now it makes me wonder if this car had anything wrote on the top of the tail light's before its restoration. I see in one my pictures of the car that it has the trunk light bracket, which all of the cars with the "Yes" wrote on the tail lights had as well.

UFO

Just spotted something missing--the "charger" C pillar emblem.Or Just not attached at the time pics were taken.I guess they are using the barrel nuts now that headliner is in.

69_500

I don't even see where the holes are to mount the "Charger" script. Looks like they filled them in. No evidence of a hole even when I enlarge the pictures I took up to a 30"x48".

UFO

Maybe a vinyl top was installed long ago and emblems not used after?
Or one of those whoops forgot to drill the holes.

I have a copy of that one... someplace.  I have heard of the aerodynamic study and seen copies of portions of it.  The other two I've never even heard of.  It would be nice to see them all assembled in one cohesive package for the world to read.

I have the SAE Paper "The Aerodynamic Development of the Daytona for Stock Car Competition"
My scanner is broken though.
Paper 700036 presented at the Automotive Engioneering Congress, Detroit, January 1970
It was printed as an 11 page document in 1978 as SAE/PT-78/16/$02.50
Copyright 1978 Society of Automotive Engineers, Inc.

I found it in the University of Texas at Arlington Library in 1982.  Not sure which volume it is in - but it starts on page 87


I'd be interested in finding all these documents myself - or at least good copies!

I have the SAE report mentioned earlier as well as two wind tunnel reports (the E-Series & F-Series reports, IIRC).  As with a lot of my paperwork, the reports are lost somewhere in the archive pile... :icon_smile_blackeye:  Several years ago I had started to scan in one of the reports for Ken N. (one he did not already have) to add to his website & sent him about 8-10 pages, but I never finished the project.  Another long overdue task...  :P

I was asking because I've seen part of the 40 page aero papers he is talking about but I'm really intersted in the 44 page, and the 115 page packages. Those really pique my interests if you know what I mean.

Ghoste

Those two seem to be the ones that have piqued everyones interests.  Has anyone else ever seen either of these documents?

UFO

I have seen the 115 page deal.Its like an instruction sheet on how creative was "supposed" to build the cars.
