daytona clone f6 green

[unrulyprocuda]

Hey guys im builing a 69 daytona clone from a 70 charger 500 i bought i have been reading alot of chats on here and alot of great info has been talked about what i want to know is why none of you have written a book or dvd on the building process of a clone and a parts list and possible suppliers for people like me just starting out i think it would help others wanting to build a daytona and you could also make some money along the way i know its taken me several months to compile a list of what i need and where i can buy it from to get the best looking clone daytona i can afford luckily my friends are restoring three original daytonas so i have great references to look at im torn though fiberglass or steel i definately want one of danes wings if he will make me one.

[moparstuart]

the motor is huge and it have one of those keisler OD GM automatics  in it

[unrulyprocuda]

you just had to go and remind us that there is a gm part involved didnt ya unfortunately its the only way to cruise the highway and still have burnout gears

[FJMG]

 Actually there is another way. There was an article in one of the mopar mags. about a shop that cuts the bellh'g off a A518 (or 46re/h) and welds on a bellh'g from a BB727 thus allowing you to bolt up a new gen 727 (w o/d) to an old BB. I thought they were in the midwest?  Maybe Stuart knows?

there are a few different ways to go ,  Passion does manual ? ,  also gear vendor OD's are popular also and not as much banging on the tranny tunnel  , I know ed's tranny tunnel is heavily modified to fit the gm trans

[unrulyprocuda]

Bowler is the company that you are thinking of its more for the bowler than the kiesler aod that i have already purchased the gear vendors shaft makes the trans to long and to much modification the bowler uses a 700r4 with mopar bellhousing but cost about 1500.00 more than the kiesler with all the bells and whistles nobody has an all mopar solution just yet.that i know of i guess its like japanese parts on a harley even though its wrong its still cool

what i want to know is why none of you have written a book or dvd on the building process of a clone and a parts list and possible suppliers for people like me just starting out

We have.


You're lookin' at it.

[hotrod98]

I've been asked a couple of times to either write a book or make a video. I don't feel that I have enough experience yet to do so.
One of the things that I keep thinking about is that the parts availability will always be changing. What's available and who provides it seems to change quite often. Some parts become unavailable when a vendor decides to stop making them and then sometimes new and improved parts become available. For example, I've been told that the nose to fender seals that are available through The Paddock (and only Paddock for now) are new designed parts and are now correct and fit very nice.
To make writing a book even more difficult is the fact that the procedures to install fiberglass products may ,and usually do, differ from steel products.
I would love to see someone like Mike Goyette with Dayclona write a book about building wingcar clones. He both produces the parts and builds the cars. He's familiar with every part in detail that is needed for the build.
I have many pages of notes on building wingcars based on info provided by Mike.
