Thinking of turning my 68 into Daytona**FC7 70 Charger** build thread

[Arigmaster]

I liked how my old 68 looked from the back... The other thing I did with the tail lights was installed the blue dots in the center. Looked really good at night.

Woohoo!!! got some parts coming not the real important stuff,but important enough!
I got my 73 charger rallye spindles
Disc brake set up Cordoba style  thanks for the adapters "NO318" and will soon be getting tail lights and Upper door pads from "Cooter" thanks in advance !

Let everyone know what Daytona parts you need. Some of us may be able to help out and keep costs down.
I have the following: Daytona wing braces, front frame brackets, valance bracket and upper nose bracket, a fiberglass latch tray and I have the blanks to make the wing washers. Hopefully, I'll have a few wing washers made real soon. I'm starting to catch up a little in the shop.

You guys could move alot faster if you only had one car to build. Allthough the main reason I am able move at a decent pace on my clone is because of selling my black 68 for good money.

You call it a decent pace, to most of us we would need an Adam Sandler time stopping remote to accomplish what you have done since last summer!
Once again, I have been following your build since the beginning and all I can say is that you Rock!
One car or six, and a platinum visa to boot, please don't sell yourself short here!
Keep your "decent " pace pictures coming
