WOW!! Man... I really have to thank everyone on this list for all the support that you've shown me over the years. From Bullrun and the Charger, to helping me out and providing guidance during the entire Daytona build. This really is an amazing place to be and everyone has helped take me on the wonderful ride I've had in both these cars. I agree, some of the comments on the Hemmings board are uncalled for, but I knew that was going to happen when we starting building the Daytona. The matte paint, wheels, and overall style of the car is definitely not everyone's cup of tea, for me though, I'm thrilled with the way everything finally turned out.

Hemmings really took a chance on the Daytona as it's such a departure from their usual pieces, I suppose they just wanted to stir the pot a bit and see what would happen.

Again, guys - thanks for all the support! Now I just have to think about what to build next!

I had to add my  :Twocents: after reading the cry babies comments'''

"Who are these nambie pambie cry babies?.. The hobbie has evolved way beyond the trailer queen scene, Mr. Mike Musto is the real deal, An enthusiast and automotive writer, a real racer and a GREAT Guy!
His persona Of Mr. Angry is a Joke people... You couldn't meet a nicer more even tempered guy,.. He pours his heart and soul into this hobby and his endeavors. Even Hollywood recognizes and pays tribute (though badly). Who wouldn't want to build a old school muscle machine into it's ultimate modern iteration?..
Go take a Q-tip to your ashtray"...

Mike:  Congratulations.  I love that you're out there doing what you do.  I knew people were going to go bug-fuck over this recognition.  Sad – yet still pretty funny too.  You should consider the "middle-finger" effect you wanted well achieved.  As to what's next...?  I also like the 3rd gen idea.  (Or maybe a General Lee.  :stirthepot:  ) 

BTW, Brock - I think your comments are 100% on point.

One of my favourite comments.....sort of puts it up the purists a bit too

"Oh Please! Does not anyone respect good honest work anymore, whether it is a hot rod or a restored Packard? Do some people not realize the word "restored" is not a part of the title of Hemmings Muscle Machines? The key word is "muscle"! These cars were never meant to be pampered, they were meant to run! They were sold so that the average joe could have a straight from the factory hot rod and the parts department made (and the aftermarket) made sure the parts were there for the serious speed guy!
I bet there were a bunch of "classics" that are revered now that were highly modified by their owners to their taste back then with little regard to the "correctness" of it!
Actually, with the current thinking of "it-has-to-restored-to-factory-specs" thinking that has taken over the muscle car hobby, all those "classics" with custom hand-built bodies that never came from the "factory" that way should be crushed, they are not "correct"!
Jeez, people, get over it! Times are changing! Either we go with the changes and accept things or the hobby will die!
These comments come from a very close minded person...I can't stand imported cars and don't like anything that doesn't have an American nameplate on it. But that doesn't mean I can't respect the work and the interest that someone has in a car I wouldn't have for my own.
Ok I'm stepping down from the soapbox, I need to go get another beer anyways!"
Make it idiot proof, and somebody will make a better idiot!
