[BigBlockSam]

i'm sorry you have to sell it . it always makes me sad to see a project not get finished . Rene

[PocketThunder]

That sucks Joe!  I hope the Daytona project wasnt the reason for divorce.   

[jodaddy1]

PocT- No not the reason

BBSam- I just hope that one of the prospective buyers will complete it as it was.

I've told all the possible buyers that the nose would be done so.............update of a steel nose still got some hammer and dolly work to do but sides are covered and one bottom done.

[jodaddy1]

   Well I like posting updates but hate posting since its not gona be mine anymore.....  all thats left is the top center panel and nose is ready for final body work.  All seams filled with fiberglass mat and tiger hair.   Anyways heres todays work.

[skeets 66]

i wish i could sell my 67 today,,,,i'd be down to get it 

[PocketThunder]

Damn Joe that is pretty cool.  You could still stay connected with Daytonas and start making nose cones to sell.    or is she getting the welder?

[jodaddy1]

Thanks PT -- No she isn't getting the welder just all the money I can come up with and 1.00 more.  I'd consider building them for some of the members here but not on a full time basis.  Let me know I might just do it.

When did you get this car from Hans?  Did Hans and Company make the nose that was on it?

[moparstuart]

  put me down for a nose   , wow that wing is tall  ??

[jodaddy1]

When did you get this car from Hans?  Did Hans and Company make the nose that was on it?

PT- Yes it did pass through the dredded Hlpag- a friend of mine in Chicago checked it out for me before I bought it.  No they didn't make the nose or the wing those were built by ACE auto body and paint in Florida in the mid 80's when the car was done.  Paneling and fiberglass for the nose and plywood and alimunum rod for the wing. I wanted a 68 charger and the price was right on this I had no idea what it was till I got it home and started finding
the Drake Motors Sales lettering under cheep spray paint.

MStuart-  Got you down for 1 let me know when.  We'll need to talk about what I need to make it fit right and the parts you need to send me.

By the way its still for sale as NONE of the people who said they wanted it have come through with even a down payment.

[BigBlockSam]

thanks for the pics. yea i remember that car.

wow wasnt that car a bill board for the dealership ?

[jodaddy1]

yes it was.

http://wwnboa.org/dpdb.htm

it IS this car...if you look carefully at the side pic you can just make out the drake part of lettering.

[moparstuart]

  thats cool   , i remember reading about that car a couple times

[Ghoste]

Wasn't it also mentioned in one of the Mopar mags not all that long ago?

[jodaddy1]

I believe it as in Collectors guide.  They said something like it may be the first "clone" built.

[jodaddy1]

for those who have asked I got sick and was unable to finish as planned so now its done and basically installed-- working on the z bars....... but installed enough to shoot a video of it on and working lights ---- click the link and watch

[moparstuart]

   do you have a full on from the front picture of that nose ?

[jodaddy1]

   do you have a full on from the front picture of that nose ?

no sorry I don't not enough room in front /Im too fat to make it work   I noticed that when I shot that video I did not open the lights all the way,  only had it hooked up to a battery to make it work.

[jodaddy1]

Well since I got the repreve from the x and job is going good.  Nobody bought it so thank gosh I'm moving ahead.  Z-Bars and side nose pics

[PocketThunder]

Keep up the good work Jodaddy..        

[moparstuart]

 Once you get the nose perfected give me a call !

[BigBlockSam]

i'm glad your gonna finish it. 

[hotrod98]

Great to see a different approach to a daytona clone build. 

I'm waiting to see who will be the first one to use the new headlamp setup from Stinger.

so do they  have manually removeable hlp doors or no doors at all ?

[BigBlockSam]

i believe it's  no doors . see how good the contours of the nose match there fiberglass daytona  fenders . covers would be easy enough to make .

That what you use the rubber garden hose for 

[hotrod98]

If a guy didn't want to have to engineer everything and wanted a simple wing car, he could just use the nose, these headlamps, the fender scoops and a wing assembly and there you go...a simple wing car. No doors, no actuators, no vacuum harness, no plug, no trunk modification, no interior moldings, package tray or headliner to mess with. Heck... I may just build another car like that just for fun.
Did anyone notice that I used simple and wingcar in the same sentence?
I almost never do that. 

[BigBlockSam]

simple and wingcar in the same sentence?

there you go again , dreaming.  i'm trying to get my plan together. aint easy..
