Daytona's Without Noses?

For a while now, I have been looking for pics of Daytona's without a nose cone. The idea of building one with a stock style front Charger grille keeps growing on me, especially after seeing this pic of Brock's Charger. :drool5:



The '69 Charger grille is my favorite grille ever put on a muscle car, and the idea of covering one up keeps losing its value. :scratchchin:
I know there is Duketona, but that is all I have been able to find...and it doesn't have a plug. :icon_smile_big:

So, anybody have pics, or opinions?

I almost built my car like this.

YES!! :drool5:

Except, besides the nose, it would be all Daytona. A-Pillar trim, plug, wing, jack, etc.
Not sure about fender scoops though... :scratchchin:.

Add some Magnum 500's, paint it blue, add a white stripe, and that is my dream car. :icon_smile_big:

Hhhmmm...I don't know. :scratchchin:

Oh, I forgot about the side pipes. Can't forget the side pipes. :icon_smile_big:

Not having a nose would keep the engine cooler too. :yesnod:

Go all the way or don't do it at all. :slap:

Doing a Daytona without a nose is like getting half a sex change... :brickwall:

If you don't do the nose, scoops and plug, then it's just a Charger with a Daytona wing.
That's sort of the conclusion that I came to when deciding on my build. That and it didn't look good for a guy that's building wingcars to not build his own wingcar correctly. I love the front end of the 69 Charger and psychologically it wasn't easy removing it and storing it away.

no offense HotRod but I just dont see the appeal of a wing without the nose.  :shruggy:

the high wing is really complimented by the down sloping nose. Of course this is just my opinion.  :yesnod:
wingless now, but still around.

But, people remember the wing long after they've forgotten about the nose.
The wings, to me, are works of art while the nose cones are bulky looking and just don't compliment the car. The wings flow with the body lines and appear to have been designed by an artist/aerodynamic engineer but the nose looks like it's an afterthought built by a sheet metal shop the day before the car was to go into production.
No offense intended to anyone.  ;D
