Just found and just finished reading this epic saga! I too saw the car at COTM and wished I'd seen this thread before!! Saw the beast parked out the front of Hogsbreath on the Friday night and of course at the show too. It looks amazing, was a highlight of the show as you don't see any of them about, much like that awesome A12 Superbee that was there also....oh hang on, that was me!

Pity you're so far away but will catch you at COTM 2015 for spotlight on US Muscle?

[Mopar Nut]

Awesome!   

[Laxy]

Awesome to see this in the flesh Tim and great to meet you, top weekend at COTM! Our convoy home was a pretty epic selection of Mopar's finest, bit of a flip out seeing this in the rear view mirror alongside a VJ Charger down the freeway.

Great Story and Great Work  , good to see it driving and being enjoyed once again  .

Hey Craig how did you go on the way home, did you sort the car running rich ??

[Tim L]

Again, thank you for the comments, not a bad weekend of driving after getting the car driving for the first time on Wednesday afternoon and leaving on a 1000km (600mile) round trip on the Friday morning!

Cheers, Tim.

[nascarxx29]

G'day mate, no drama's on the way home other than it running like a pig. We had an aussie Charger in our convoy that blew a tyre on the way to COTM and sure enough he blew another on the way home, fortunaely no damage like I suffered.!

The Bee is in the panel shop now, comes out tomorrow all fixed and then probably Saturday to my mechanic mate to have the carbs looked at. What idiot thought having 3 carbies was a good idea! lolz

Dave ,
I have known you for 35 years and you truly have a gift ! You could have a decent small info business on wing cars ! Make no mistake everyone likes free help however we dealing with high end cars and you should be compensated for extreme depth of knowledge in the research department .

Been a couple of months and the Daytona has been out on a few trips around the country side. After the Daytona was at Chryslers on the Murray it appeared in a couple of magazines one of which is apparently going to do a full feature on it in the near future.. Last week we were invited to attend the Gasoline Muscle Car Expo here in Melbourne. The show ran over a three day period and show cased around 140 cars both Australian and American. Here's a few photos that I've come across in the last week..
