Daytona Clone Almost Completed- Updated 7-2-09

[dillon14]

Here are a few photos of the Daytona. Hope to have it completed by July 4th. Pretty dirty in the photos and still needs to be wet sanded and buffed out, interior finished and of course the aluminum wing added. 440 stroked to a little over 500hp. 4-speed with console and buckets. Janak nose, Vega plug. Never done this before so please be easy on me.

It looks great, I love the red interior and the wheels  great job.

Looks good to me. Kind of looks like mine except for the red interior, the red stripe and the steel wheels.

Makes me wish that I had time to assemble the front end on mine.

It was a 318 car originally so it is sitting a little low in the front. Will try to adjust the torsion bars to bring it up some.

For anyone who gets bored, here is the link to the resto photos I took along the way:

I sold mine to Bill May in Indianapolis Indiana. Is Chris Colson's green? I think Galen told me mine was the only 4-speed green car and the only one of the (13) cars built that was still in its original paint.

Nope, Chris's Coronet is/was purple.
