hemigeno's Daytona restoration - a few more tweaks... again!

[pettybird]

Really Three of these damn boats this year ,  why couldnt they all be cuda's ?

ditto.  dumb wing cars.

[Ghoste]

Not that long ago they were all Cuda's.    (or it sure seemed like it)

In that pic that John posted, what are those 2 black squares on the valence panel? 
I don't recall seeing those before.  Or is that a OE Gold thing that I wouldn't ever know about

Are you refering to the air intakes in the nose?

[hemigeno]

Thanks again, everyone.

Genes thinking "Oh no I just remembered that we forgot to fix the stripe we put on backwards and to put the steering column back to left hand drive"! ( See above picture with Huggies sign photoshopped on ).

 Yeah, I saw that when Old Moparz posted it up, and I'm sure there's a reason.  If I call him out on it, he'll do something far worse...  

forget the car. i want to see the before and after photos of his hair color.

... back when I HAD hair...

I seen that picture just a second ago those are the cooling intakes under the nose Ive seen those vary in size due mostly random workmanship

[WINGIN IT]

Do all Daytonas have them?
I don't recall ever seeing them before.Guess I never had the where with all to look ...

[nascarxx29]

Daytonas did have them for air intake it was those 2 holes and front grille.Superbirds didnt have those holes the air intake was through the honey comb center grille.
Everytime I see a different car. I see something. I can learn about it.Ive seen daytona front spoilers either color or black.The little extension bracket coming off the K frame where valance is notched.Ive seen it black .But maybe due to conversion paint got on it

[Ghoste]

Surrounded by classic cars as part of my job and I learn something new every single day and stuff I think I know, I rarely do.  Sadly, I seem to forget it all but each day is an auto history adventure.

[hemigeno]

Thank you, Chris & Jimbo...

Jim, maybe now you won't cringe as much when you see you have a PM or email from this American nutjob who thinks you have nothing better to do than crawl around in your garage with a flashlight & camera.   

[Mytur Binsdirti]

You guys all didn't get the same score, so let's hear where each of you lost points.

Yeh, did anyone have to argue their case or prove to them certain things? I know I have never seen those kind of hub caps on John's daytona before but was corrected when John and I were talking.

With the Nats judging - you will be lucky to find out until almost a year later.

My Charger was originally coded for those caps as well (W11)...I have a spare set in the garage when I want to get OE Judged....

doesnt Mopar John's blue daytona have them on it  

[hemigeno]

There were some B&W advertising photos floating around back then too of a Daytona with the W11 "Deluxe" wheel covers.  Ignore the '70 high-back seats in the bottom photo, as I don't think we ever came to a conclusion about whether this was a mock-up or retouched photograph.

[resq302]

John's Y2 daytona does / did have them but when the car was orange, it had different hub caps on them.  I think they were the simulated mag wheel hub cap.  I'll have to look at his old signature pic again.

They take their time mailing the cerificate and the score sheet re-cap....up to a year.
