i finally own a wing car

[69_500]

Or you can be like a gentleman I know, who hung his nose by himself in his garage, and that is also taking into consideration that he is in his upper 70's age wise too. Surely it doesn't take 3 young gentleman to do what 1 elderly man can do on his own?

If you can hold it up and view side of car by yourself , your a bad dude !! I made a Cradle so all you need is a floor jack I don't know it all , but when it comes to making a Stinger nose fit perfect , been their done that !!!

Rene, Did your body man install the trunk hinges? 
Seeing your car at this stage makes me want to get back on mine. Maybe after getting my 70 Z28 back on the road.

hey
we test fitted them. just tacked them in but we had a problem with the left one . it was a little off. so we applied heat  to bend it and clamped it to the correct one . this should correct the problem and hopefully they'll be in by the end of next week . Rene

Rene, are those real daytona hinges? 
I ended up with a set of Larry's hinges for my clone.
Howie and I have done so much trading back and forth that I can't even remember how I ended up with them. I have to put everyone's names on their parts just to keep them straight.
I think I have various parts for at least four different Daytona clones.

hey hotrod

i got them from Larry , or blimpy , or cuppy same cat . they just needed a little tweaking. they seem like there gonna work out great .

I've been ordering the materials I'll need to finish the daytona and paint the engine bay , interior  and trunk on the challenger. i have a budget every month for my cars . like that i can stretch out the material costs .check it out. Rene

When it comes to paint , stick with one system!!! Leave the cheap shit for painting a shed !!!!!

Sounds like a plan my friend. 
I spent most of the day installing my exhaust for my paint booth. Was on top of the shop enjoying the 70 degree day. Wanted to take my cuda out for a spin but just didn't have time. Sandra worked on the fenders for the Z28. I think she's as anxious to get that car back on the road as I am. She's like me. She's halfway afraid to get out on the road in her Cuda. Way too much traffic around here nowadays. We won't be as worried driving the Cammer. They're dispensible.
She's still bugging me to put that 5.7 hemi setup in a mopar for her. I thought about sticking it in that rust free 74 Charger and painting it limelight. Se wants another green car to drive and I refuse to paint the Z28 green. It's going Hugger Orange.

So, just what was the final decision on the color for the winger?

after  i build my dream garage i will paint  the daytona .white with a red tail stripe , magnums with red line tires. for now flat black  with draglite wheels. a fun vehicle. just to drive and have fun with and  not worry about scratching the paint .

  i like those   70's body style  camaro . with the spoiler in front and on the decklid . cool cars Rene

Howdy

  looks like my daytona's coming home at the end of next week . the package tray rear support is in and we where installing the rear window today. i really like the way that vega window sits in there. it has a nice contour to it that matches the lines of the back of the daytona .  all the new  window moulding clips are installed and ready to go . here is a pic of the rear window in before gluing. i don't know if you can see what i mean about the contour. i thought the rear window was flat.

[hotrod98]

Looks very good to me. 
Two cars coming home in the same week?

Where did you find those funky white plastic back glass molding clips? I know a guy that's going to need some real soon.

I'm getting my wing back but the front is still a 69 charger    .

the backyard bodyshop  is open and operating . i just finished doing my dually. after 15 yrs  in the city  ,it had rust and dents all over it. fix them all and painted the panels that needed it. came out great. next is the roadrunner . take care of some of the small stuff on it . it has way to much rust repair to tackle this year.

  then it's daytona time. mount the  front fenders and nose . I'm sending the fenders and hood  out tomorrow to get sand blasted  . hopefully I'll have it in black primer by the summer. it's to hot out there to work in the summer sun. Rene
