[moparstuart]

Our Daytona flew for the first time in decades today. While we have a few things left on the old girl, we are almost ready to let her fly east. What a thrill to drive! I can't wait to see it on television.

Looks great !!!!!  I just noticed from one of the pictures that the hood safety latch isn't installed........... Just an observation.... 

[djcarguy]

latch is off to pervent josh from getting a head or brain injury,hahahaha.  me at 6' 2'' i remove the hood latch or stick  some of that pipe insolation on it when working on engines. few inches of pipe wrap an a zip tie can help alot.



  ALSO went by the shop to see if that awsum Daytona was still out in the rain with the window down???   it was not out or any where to bee seen at 11pm monday nite,hoped it wood bee in front showroom .

The Daytona smokin' the tires for the first time in 30 years. I love this picture!!!

[held1823]

the car is beyond nice, but majorly lacking in horsepower compared to the other vehicle in the photo.

Them pointy nose cars sure look cool!

No kidding.  1500HP>375HP.  The Daytona doesn't run on remote control, either.

Yes they do.

Tom , Car is beautiful and the guys at GCz did an excellent/professional job. We sent the exhaust up with Josh last week and hopefully you like it.

Tom, that exhaust looked and sounded great.  You guys at Accurate Exhaust did and awesome job!   You, along with many others, really helped put this project together.  I couldn't have done it without you and all the people that provided parts and guys from this site with the knowledge they have.  If something needs correction, I'll get to it, unfortunately the way some people put it, it seems like they just like to pick at my car because they like to find flaw in whats done at the shop.  It is ironic that most of the people that make the negative comments, rarely make a nice one.  GYC has done an awesome job.

Anyway, it was a great time up there this weekend.  I went up there for two reasons; to get my car at least finished enough and driveable for filming and to meet Bill Goldberg since I helped in getting him there.  I was a bit pushy I'm sure, but we got the job done!  I was a bit disappointed in not being in a shot with Bill, but I'll be fine.  I still plan on going there to help and be that "pesty" customer, but Mark knows my drive is for a good cause.

I've helped Mark alot and he has really done a tremendous job for me so hopefully when this is all done I'll still be involved.  I sure hope so since they are really nice people.   I couldn't have had a more fun group to do my car.  They've exceeded my expectations.


And yes, that was me doing that burn out!  I loved every second.

You're right.  There are still a bunch little things that need to be taken care of and/or adjusted.  The goal this past weekend was to get it done for the season so to speak.  As seen in the picture for example, it still needed the front wheel opening mouldings and I need to get the correct length lanyards.  Mark and his guys are going to take care of that stuff. 

I never would have expected in a million years what has transpired with my car.  It's been, and going to be a blast to have it.  And to think it all started with a joke I made to Kim at Passion4mopars.  They did a great job on my wiper motor, alternator and carb.
