[3--Daytona]

    Doug,,,,,,Sorry to be so slow in replying.   Delma and want to thank you again for the Joe Ward AWARD. We were most certainly shocked and surprized. And very very grateful.

   I never met Joe Ward in person,,It is very possable that our path's have cross, It's not that far to Little Rock from here. I showed the red car in a indoor show there a few year ago.

                   THANKS     AGAIN...............jim mccauley    ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,3-daytona

You and Delma make a hell of a pair--I feel honored to know you both, and I know I'm not alone in that sentiment.

Did Joe's car have original paint?

What I'm really curious about is whether the factory blacked out the radiator support with wing cars?

Sorry 'bout Joe, sounds like a heck of a guy.  I worked with a Joe Ward back in western Kansas.

Thanks all for the "Pat on the back"! But I'm just here to help and share the restorations projects that I've done over the years on the wing cars. That's how Joe and I became friends.
Doug, You and I have talked about creating this Award since the day Joe passed. VERY NICE JOB!!!..........Congrats to Jim on the Award !!!
I sent this link to Joe's sister last week so she could see the Award and follow the updates.
Here's what she wrote back ..........
Wow Thanks for that it was great even if I did cry all the way through it. I can't wait to see the car in person.
The car is up and running on it's own power. Will update with pictures soon    Ken

There's still a whole lot more to learn, but I do find some of the differences between the Daytona and Superbird interesting.  I'd have bet money they blacked out the 'Bird core support, just from how they did everything before them.

The Monster Mopar show is where I actually met and talked with Joe Ward several times over the last couple of years, mostly trying to stay cool in the shade of my truck.  I think he would have liked how this year's event turned out a whole lot.

He was a good guy and is missed.

Hi All,  Finshed all the final hook ups,and started the fresh rebuilt motor and broke in the MR 6 pack cam (man I love this cam) yesterday.


So today I was able to drive the car out of the shop for a little wash job.
