Complete Daytona Nose Kit

[dillon14]

As I have now started my Daytona clone project, I was wondering if anyone sold a complete nose assembly? To clarify, I have the hood and fenders but need everything else to convert the front of my 69 Charger to a Daytona.

Is it cheaper to buy piece meal or everything as a kit?

Thanks,

The only guy out there that can get you absolutely everything that you need to assemble a nose is Mike G. at Dayclona. And, his stuff is the best by far.
Everyone else just claims to have a complete kit. At this time there are no actual complete kits available anywhere.

I became a Dayclona fan the day I received my first shipment of parts. It's kind of nice having good parts around here for a change.
If I had it to do all over again, I would use all Dayclona parts on both cars.
You should see the superbird nose that he sent me a couple of weeks ago.
It's the nicest fiberglass nose that I've seen yet.

i'm still holding out hope to get a steel nose for my  dayclona   pipe dreams i guess

[hotrod98]

The biggest problem I see with a steel nose is if it was damaged, it would difficult if not impossible to repair.
The fiberglass version could be in multiple pieces and still be repaired.

well my superbird nose was demolished at one time and bondo'ed up when i got it , then when we restored it was hammered out and looks great now !

   steel is the way to go it was/is good enought for the original cars , it's good enought for my clone !       IMHO   but to each his own

This is my first time seeing that photo. I am sorry if that belongs to someone here, but I chuckled a lot. Like one of those laugh so it hurts less chuckles.

That SUCKS.

i  have seen worse fixed    not easy but a hammer and a dollie do work . Saw a race clone on the first power tour ever and they had pictures of the completely flattened and rusted real daytona nose they hammered out and it looked great.     

   If you want to toss it away i'll take it     one mans junk is my treasure , I am forever the optimist

If you want a complete kit and I mean with EVERYTHING then Mike G. at Dayclona is the truly the man... trust me on this. 

[dillon14]

Thanks for the replies.

Does anyone here know if Dayclona does discounted package deals?

Thanks

[moparstuart]

 you can always call and ask but it sounds like he stay busy as hell making stuff at his current prices ( so why discount it )  but it never hurts to ask if you are placing a large order !

Daytona Deck Lid Modification
Description: 1969 Dodge Daytona Deck Lid Modification - Your Deck Lid
Price: $2200.00

wow! thats expensive

[hotrod98]

Jack is one of the best wingcar fab guys bar none, but I don't think that he provides every part necessary to build a complete clone.
I could be wrong and my apologies to Jack if that has changed.
Mike G. and Jack M. are the only two guys that I know of that could possibly ship you a complete ready to bolt on nose assembly. For a price of course.
Someone like myself could do that but with the double shipping costs (parts to me and then to end user), I would think that it would be more cost effective to buy from the source.

I know Gean personally. He does build several nice parts. In fact, I own many of his parts. Some of his parts he purchases from other vendors, marks them up and re-sells them. I try to go directly to the source if possible. Seems like he was buying his headlamp buckets and z-braces from Ron Knifley. spelling?

dont know about his bird nose , but wayne perkins daytona nose fits like crap 

[70Sbird]

WOW
I think Jack M, may be able to repair that wrecked nose, but it will likely require a new top panel.
I just hope they saved the dice painted on the headlight doors.
It would be a shame to lose such a valuable part of that cars personality!

I knew Dean back in the mid 1980s, but did not know that he has been restoring wing cars...

I went to a couple of his MMCI Regional Meets in Centralia, and have pictures somewhere in the archives of an orange (?) Superbird that was still owned by a dealership IIRC with very low miles.  I believe the dealership was in Nebraska...

my first look said "i could use that."

then I read your post, looked back and laughed, too.

[hotrod98]

The guy that owned the car with the wasted nose had even more serious problems.
And yes, this is the same car.

[Drache]

What happened?! 

Looks like it was hit on the ass end which bashed it into a telephone pole!
