[Charger-Bodie]

Got some more stuff done..... Installed the IAS shocks. installed the new b/u lamps. brakes are adjusted and bled out real nice. everything electrical is working properly and done. hood pin lanyards on. freshly re-detailed retro licence frame installed ( came on my cousins 69 charger,I talked him out of it. Its been on 4 of my cars now) . Also installed my Dayclona modified (I sent them to Mike) W/O moldings....Thanks Mike.

Oh yeah, I was able to drive it to the shop to do this stuff....That was fun!


The last picture is by far my favorite one......... I didnt stage that or anything either. I just set him in the seat, and he did the rest.

That last pic is priceless. 
Last week when we went to look at a 71 Cuda drag car. My son took a pic of my grandson trying to shift the car. He got to sit in it before I did. I bought the car so I guess that means he has dibs on it.

Brian, about those IAS shocks.....can you install them with the boot on top & have you driven a car with them in yet?   Hows the ride?  harsh?

The front one have to be installed boot down,the rears can go either way but for uniformity I put them the same. I actually kinda like em that way,they blend in better under there.

As far as ride,I don't have much input from this car. I did have them on my Black car though,and they were not as harsh as the kybs. If you already have kybs I don't think its worth switching,but if you have none its worth the difference.

I got rid of my KYB's because on NYC streets they sucked!   Put in regular Monroe Gas-Matics....was looking for more of a dampning effect without the harshness....

They would probably be a good choice then.

DO YOU EVER SLEEP?? 

If that was mine I wouldn't be sleeping either. 

Amazing Brian... just flat-out AMAZING!  You have an ultimate dream machine there... soon you will be able to enjoy your new toy while knowing that you built it your way!.

Keep it up!

Just an FYI----read a post on Moparts about this same topic.  member called the Eddy Tech Line & the shocks must be mounted with the boot in the downward position....due to an inertia valve that is in the piston (covered with the boot)
For the sake of looks Ill have to pass myself

Been a while...... The headliner is in and the rear glass and 1/4 glass.

I probably will, but I wanted to wait to see where the carpet ends first because I dont want the deadener to show past the edge.

Your Daytona will be one of the best done. WOW. I'm impressed!

It brings back memories of my #6 Daytona - but yours out does it by far.

Thanks alot guys!! I really do appreciate the compliments. Sometimes just thinking about the fact that this is my car just makes me smile right out of the blue.  It truly is my dream car and I feel very lucky to have it.
