Graveyard carz Daytona ***NEW PICTURES ADDED*** 4 UNCLE FESTER

[Mopar Nut]

Damn Stuart, you're more up to date on pics than I am !  Then again, I forget to look.  I promise I will take LOTS of pics of all the cars when I'm there and post them in Aero and the Car guys discussion.  He got the fit on the doors pretty good.  I hope it's not too much work to re-do when he gets the new z braces from Rick Fairless. Mark didn;t mind that he kind of has to check the fit again -- somewhat.  If anybody ever has questions about the car or show feel free to call (716)549-1756 I live on the east coast so If you can try to make it before 10pm eastern.

Too bad we can't be tied into the new security cameras. We could help watch the shop and watch the progress on the cars ourself.

GREAT NEWS FOR US FANS OF THE SHOW AND WING CARS


           GREAT NEWS!!! With the wild success of GYC season II, Velocity channel has officially licensed Graveyard Carz for Season III or G-3 I call it. We are in full production as we speak. We don't know when it will begin to air but when we know, you will know. Thank you to everyone that has helped me keep our Mopar dreams alive! ~Mark

Dj (david)  I was glad you stopped by, just felt bad I couldn't show you more and that Mark wasn't there at that time.  It was a VERY busy but fun week.  Wish i could have stayed another week to help more with assembling stuff.

This will be redundant to some but this is what i posted in the car guys forum;
Well, just got back from a week at Marks shop.  It was a blast.  Once I get my pictures resized I will post them.  I also took my video camera and had Mark do a small personal video message to all on this site.  THAT I will have to have a friend figure out and post to youtube.  Once I do, I will provide the link.  To all the guys in that area, I apologize for not contacting you bit it was really busy.  Next time I'm up should be a bit more relaxing.

I think most of you have the general idea about the show.  Yes he is a small guy doing this on his own with his own money for very little profit.  So yes of course you see sponsors that help in various ways.  IF you were in his shoes, you ALL would do the same to get the help needed to produce the show.  If you say you wouldn't you're lying to yourself.  One of the first things I asked Mark when I got there last thursday was "what the heck was up with last weeks episode"?  He chuckled and laughed and agreed that is wasn't that great but due to his agreement with Velocity and the fact that the parts he needed didn't get delivered on time he had to provide something.  But it was true, Daren was pissed.  SO instead of bitching, consider yourself a bit privileged on that bit of inside info.

My car looks great and will probably be painted in a week.  I did alot of grunt work ie: grinding welds, using the DA to sand the inside of my lower valance so when It's painted the inside will look smooth like steel. Went thru my pod of stuff to help with the inventory and lots of other stuff.  Also helped him with drywalling a building he needs to make for the whole editing part. 

As far a the owner being upset of those "incorrect" daytona wheels being impacted on and off the cuda,  I'm not.  First, the trims rings are safely tucked away along with the center caps and I realized (correct me if I'm wrong) the the very lip should appear black once the trim rings are on. I believe I'm correct because the rim should be painted black steel?  I think thats it anyway.  Second, here's why I'm not upset ... Mark didn't get them, I did, in fact here's the best part  Coker Tire gave them to me for FREE.  Tires, rims, valve stems, center caps and air.  All mounted and balanced and sent to Mark.  I made the contact, I made the promise to give them a plug so I"M not going to complain.  I couldn't be Happier.

You guys are correct that he does have two guys helping with the bodywork and he said he is going to show them more.  Mark and his guys (derrick and Lucky) were great with me because they had my nose fit perfect to the Z-braces that came with the car but I changed it and ordered a set from Rick Fairless. They re-fit the nose with the new braces and didn't complain once.

That's great you were able to work on the Daytona a bit, it is rather fullfilling to know you had a hand in it and can reflect on your time making it better. Nice to know the car will be painted soon. Outstanding situation that Coker gave you the tire/wheel combination and all you have to do is put a plug in for them......

, but I'm sure Larry wouldn't mind me comin' down to AR and putting my pink skin to work ! 
And I'm a bit jeleous on the deal you got from Coker , I just bought  a whole set up from them ( rims, tires, center caps), and I'll I got was  a DC discount...    . Not that I'm complaining, of course, but free would be better 

[r4daytona]

I may have gotten a deal from Coker, but it seems like you have a much better Daytona than i do.  I'd rather have the better Daytona!  Coker was great to deal with.  OK, I'll try posting some pics but I keep getting an error about already posting them?  These are also from the car guys forum.  Just a general question ... should I post the same thing in two different forums or does that waste your guys time?  Just wondering.

[71ChallengeHer]

You have to change the name of the picture to post it here and the aero section. 

[Budnicks]

Looks like decent progress, good to see it's coming along nicely... paint in a week that's great....

[Daytona Guy]

Keep posting here - I'm not on that site.

i hope you continue to post them here. some of us are aero snobs, and don't venture to the other pages.

[r4daytona]

None of us are snobs ! lol   Here's a few more  First is the frame rail they had to replace. They still have to finish grinding the welds and getting it to look as factory as possible,  Second shows a couple other cars in the shop but also my deck lid, fenders,  Third just a nose shot and fourth the underside.  If it wasn't for the XX in the vin, this car would have been scrap.

Looking good Tom  

Felt weird not having another episode of GYC's on TV last night.........

[r4daytona]

It was odd not watching it.  I was watching the last episode with Mark, the guys and his wife at a pizza place last week, but I really didn't get in to it since i was thinking of a millon other things. To bad some people don't lighten, Mark and his family are great people, despite what they may see on the show.

[WINGIN IT]

Lookin good Tom, can't wait to see some paint ( bet you can't wait either)
