The cost to make a 1969 Daytona clone

[Howie]

stu, Haven`t gotten my nose yet. Craig is looking for a giant box to put it in and ship it. The only fiberglass I will have is the doors and yes it will look and work like the originals. I have the  electric vacuum switch I got from Bryan and vacuum pods that I will be using.

$4,200 for the car in 1982, I would venture to say it was a pretty decent driver car back then for that price. Just guessing that is, because my dad sold his 6 pac bird for $5,500 in 1984 and it was a very solid driver, actually pretty darn nice car.

Actually,it looked like this.

Nice archives pictures Bill thanks for sharing

No kidding.  They would want to rip you a new one.

There are some vintage paint scheme's that should just go away.
This is coming from a fan of old school paint jobs. Stripes that enhance a cars lines,lace paint fogged in a slightly different shade are all very cool in my books.

I bought a fiberglass superbird nose from Mike G. at Dayclona and I think that it's by far the best f/g nose that I've seen. Much nicer than any of the Janak noses that I've had. 

Thanks for the info.
Im not gonna do a perfect clone of a Daytona, but its gonna have the right lines.And probably do more and more on the way(if i know myself) and in the end have no fiberglass all, but first deside to dot it or not
May buy those molds on Ebay and make the parts

So from what I can tell in the pictures it was a pretty darn nice driver car in 1982. I mean there were a ton of the custom paint jobs on cars back then, and this one would have fit right in.

Don't waste your money on those molds.
The nose mold wasn't made correctly and you'll need much more than a mold to make a sturdy wing.
You need to decide how much you're willing to spend on this project and then see which parts fit into the budget.
The more money, the nicer the parts...usually. PM me and I'll give you my suggestions. It's been posted here many times in the past.
