Looking like my old one.....Nice!  Will you be putting undercoat in the wheel wells? Looks like a lot of white in there.

It will definitely be getting undercoated in the wheel wells,but not until its aligned. I would black out the wheel wells even if the car was black.

Great milestone and congrats on a lot of hard work.

Two questions...are you keeping the R/T emblem and is your car drum brakes all round??

I got the firm feel Mettalic shoes for the drum brakes.....curious to see how they work.

The R/T emblem,supposedly there were a few real Daytonas that had the R/T emblem and not only that,but this is the first real R/T car (non-clone) Ive ever had so I just wanted the R/T emblem to be there.

I'm planning on doing the same with the drums on my car. Keen to hear what you think of them, and if they are no good, I will put a SSBC kit up front.
