Ted Stephens Daytona Wreck Under the Knife

[djcarguy]

So AMD is holding whats left of the daytona hostage?

[69HemiBee]

They just want it as a showcase tool.  AMD mounts all the sheet metal they have for the Daytona/Charger to the Stephens Daytona, and then roll it around everywhere showing it off.

They could have done that with the one I did.

Clock is ticking for SEMA.     Looks like the car is getting close.

So AMD is making a plug and trunklid for the aero cars ? Glass wing ? steel nose ? Wonder what they did for fenders/hood. Are they all supposed to be AMD parts ?

[charger chris]

Hey I see an original trunk hing. LOL

I think it looks pretty damn good. And yes I wonder if it is a steel nose cone. Sure looks like it.

  I just got off the phone with AMD, The man told me that they were not making any Daytona parts that are not listed on there web sight. I also informed them that there rear window trim is WAY off. WTF. (Wingman).    Jay.

So a repro metal place is showcasing their daytona restoration, but forget to mention they do not actually offer daytona specific parts like fenders/hood/plug/nose/wing ect ? Convenient that all the parts are in the same black ecoat, so one would assume all AMD.
I wonder who actually made the plug/nose ect

[Stevearino]

So the wing is not theirs. The plug is not theirs.The nose is not theirs. There are no reverse fender scoops available  for purchase. Oh and by the way. Where did they get the 70 fenders and hood? What exactly are they trying to get me to buy with this show case of things you can't buy?

you are deciphering this wrong. what it really wants YOU to do, is make me a nose cone assembly

Maybe I'll be able to sell my original set of Daytona/500 rear window trim now that folks know the repops are WAY off...

I can confirm the fit issue, as I got a set from them last November. My car is in the body shop for paint, and test fitted the trim before it went for paint and the fit was way off mainly the two upper pieces. I ended up using their set and my original set and made what I needed. I also talked to Roger Gibson about this issue and he told them that it didn't fit and needed to be refined, and this was before I get my set.  Just a FYI

No surprise, I've had many fitment issues with after market &/or reproduction in the past.  LEON.

Are the 2 small lower pieces of back window chrome trim the same parts as on a regular 1969 Charger ?

[Mopar John]

YES! The 2 lower corners are the same as a 69 Charger but they are flipped side to side.
In addition the long straight lower piece can be used but it's about 1 1/2" shorter and barely fits under the corners.

...and it's arched...

Bottom line: the 3 main parts are unique to the 500 & Daytona.
