Well, welcome to the site,.. and I must say looking at those before and after shots, you and your car should be an inspiration to anyone dealing with a dream and a basketcase...
I love the choice of TTs and the stance and the color that makes the nose seal nearly dissapear,.. What did you end up useing for the rubber band anyhow?.. Any interior pics?..
                                                                                          :popcrn:
Looks like the windhield deletors are AWOL, any plans for those?.. Larry one of our resident metal shaping perfectionists has made several sets for sale... I don't know if any are still avail. I do know a whole mess of folks here have undertaken DAYTONA clones in the past year or so.
In anycase great to have you aboard,.. And I'd love to see some pics of the A-Body...  :yesnod:

Thanks for the kind words.
I have since added the A-piller air deflectors from Erik Nelson, rear window trim from DAYCLONA as well as an original rear glass.  The nose seal has disappeared. I just closed the gap to that of a normal fender or door gap.  No problems, but then I try not to run to things.  I'll get more pix when the weather breaks--we got 8" snow last night.

Here's the dart. Yes, I like TT's

Back when I was planning to run a traditional color stipe, I was going to go with white. Stands out. Too bad your school colors aren't black and white Allen.  ;D

I actually found a die-cast black/white stripe to help me decide. I thought about the red too. Bought one of each, set them side by side to decide. White stripe car hag a bonus 1:64 scale car with it. Bought some 1:18 scale TT's to go on it also.

Hi Daytona1!  Welcome to this site!

I love the looks of both of your cars!  Thanks so much for posting those pics of them!

Would you mind sharing some wheel/tire specific information pertaining to your Daytona?  I have a triple black 69 Charger R/T that is in need of some new wheels and tires.  I am currently sporting 14" steel wheels with hubcaps.  Would love to get something different.  I just love the way your Daytona looks!  Very "mean" and "aggressive" without being too over-the-top!  Nice work!

First of all, Thanks to everyone for the nice comments and making us welcome.  A lot more friendly than the other forums I visit.
As for the condition of the cars when I got them, around here you take em as is where is--if you find them at all. Nobody wants to part with them until they are almost ruined.
The front tires are P235/70R15 on 6.5X15 rims. Rears are P255/70R15 on 8.5X15 rims.  New Mopar Performance HD rear springs and stock small block torsion bars.

Very nice clone Bert. That tire/rim combo is stellar. That Dart is one sweet lookin machine too. Does the dart ever hit the track?
I'd rather die than go to heaven.

No--Dart has never seen the track, would probably be fun though. Just weekend cruises for now.
