Trying to figure a budget...What are prices for clone parts? Wing nose etc.

[PocketThunder]

You can also find the vega type non vented hatchback doors on the Pontiac Astre.I had found daytona lo hatchback for $75.00 few years back .And they were all over And think it was 76 or 77 when that body style went away.And 72 73 used louvered lids

I have a vega hatch and glass  but I do need moldings if anyone has a nice set.?

Is 1977 the same?  If so i can get this for you this weekend as i will be driving thru Hudson.  $5

I couldn't remember if they were promised out or not.

i guess i can never know what you and howie have traded my parts off  for ,

[mauve66]

I wasn't sure what they were here for really. I couldn't remember if they were promised out or not. Howie and I tend to do a lot of borrowing, loaning and general trading back and forth. We really need to start taking notes.
Kind of like my 383 roadrunner engine that I have stored at your place that I can never seem to get away to drive up and get.
Lord knows I've tried. 

and don't forget the daytona wing your saving for me, i almost have enough for shipping just a couple more weeks now...............................

[Howie]

Yep,  One of those vega hatches is for stuart and the other 2 are spares. I may pick up your 383 larry. I have to run up to K.C. sometime and pick up a straight axle for my `34 plymouth. That is true on trading. Larry and I have traded up and down and back and forth. Oh Larry, do you need a 9 foot longboard?  I will be bringing one home with me. Surfs up! .

[hotrod98]

That boy can find stuff like you wouldn't believe. 

I told you that boy could find some stuff. He runs down to Florida for a few days and brings back a surfboard. They're aint no sunny beaches in Claremore, Oklahoma. Well maybe a few but that's a different story. 

Wait a minute. You flew down there. Can you bring that back on the plane?

he must be building a woody wagon next   

[Howie]

Nope. It is for my 32 rat rod. And it is as long as my rental car. Saw a magnum in front of ron johns that had the woodie effect and when I walked up to it it was all airbrushed. Oh by the way larry I am hooked up with a shaker hood for my cuda project. Dang its good to score parts on vacation. Now to daytona to catch a ride around the speedway.

  If you's guys are gonna keep hijacking my thread, the least you can do is offer me a set of vega rear window trim.

I would like to keep my two hatches complete... but If I do find another, they are all yours.

[Howie]

  Sorry Dude. I may have a set so I will check when I get home. What else are you needing. I have some parts that I am not going to use as I have upgraded everything I am putting on my car.

[FJMG]

  Figure a budget? Start with $$$, then add more $$$ and just before you start don't forget to add $$$. About halfway through the conversion you will need to stop and add double the amount of previously spent $$$. Then you take all the $$$ and divide by .50 cents/hr and you will come close to the req'd hrs. Your only compensation is that when you are done the total $$$ spent will be eqalled in chiropractic fees by onlookers wrenching thier neck for a second look.

   In all seriousness, many members here have/are bldg clones and they seem only to willing to help you! Good luck in your build.

[Charger-Bodie]

Dredging this thread up again. I need to know the best places to get the best parts at the lowest prices.

Im ready to start ordering stuff asap!

Thanks guys!!

900.00 for valance  , 400.00 for latch tray

nice to have bucks , i don't think  a metal valance makes a big difference in a clone. yes all moving parts should be metal . i think my valance was $125 and it fits like a glove .looks great too . latch tray would be better in metal . cause it bolts to the top of the z brackets and radiator support and adds support to the nose . a metal nose is nice , cause you can say,  it has a metal nose ,  but does it make a big difference . not to me .i've seen metal noses that looked terrible. even on original cars . it's how you make it fit  Dane makes the best wing . hands down.

Rookie question here: how does the trim and glass shape/size on the Vega hatch compare to the original trim and glass on the Daytona? Does anyone have a side-by-side comparison of an original Daytona rear window next to a Vega clone Daytona window? It just seems like a helluva coincidence that they'd be almost identical. Vegas really are good for something.
