Decision time

[xx29440charger]

Attention fellow wingcar owners!  I need help deciding to either get a fiberglass valance from Janak or a metal one from Erik Nelson. I am building a clone from a 70 Charger. I am going to use a glass nose from Janak with .o48 thickness metal Z-Brackets from Nelson. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

the glass parts I got from Janak needed a lot of work and massaging to fit and look right

hi

i would luv to have a metal nose on my replica but $5000 compared to $600 dollars for my stinger nose is a big deference and if your gonna have operating headlights you can put the saved money to those parts . if it was a factory daytona i would only put a metal nose on it but for a replica fiberglass is fine . i'm very happy with my stinger nose and it did need some body working but not too bad  .

Thanks...the search continues for the vega hatchback...almost 1 year...I want to drive out and see what I am buying..drove to see one  and it was completely rusted....anyone else with any recommendations 4 a nose and valance would be appreciated!

Janak stuff isn't all that bad...I said at the time it wasn't easy and it wasn't...but now that I look back at it I don't think anything will transform a 40+ year old car with out a lot of effort and fitting.Especially with a Bird where your using a different front clip.And I think my wreck with mine speaks for the strength of his wings.I was able to fix mine after it went through a block building backwards.Like was already said here...if it were a true wing car..metal...but for a tribute car ...fiberglass is cheaper and if you get the right ones you cant tell the difference.Janak wings wont bow in the middle.
