trunk lid

daytonalo · February 11, 2008, 06:47:34 PM

Did you make the lower plug channel to support the package tray and also the ledge to install lower window int trim ? That took me a while to figure out . I posted pics of it a while ago

Looks great. I love it when a plan comes together.

no not yet. I'm still in shock that he got something done . he had a real daytona there to copy the curves from . he also has a real daytona trunk lid there , that he used to figure out the hinge mounting positions on the trunk lid. he said he wants to sell that trunk lid.
it's been a weird day . i caught a virus in this computer . took me a long time to get it up and running. then i go out there ready to be disappointed and surprise .

I LUV IT WHEN A PLAN COMES TOGETHER!

thats funny you remember, thats one of my fav saying . yea it's gonna be a busy backyard bodyshop this year . I've been running around today gathering all the daytona parts. starting to get them in order to install . I've been smiling a lot more now that the plug is in and I'm gonna get the car back soon. i can't seem to find the rear window trim . here's another pic. Rene

hotrod98 · February 13, 2008, 08:27:15 PM

I'll be glad when I'm to that point on Howie's car. After I installed the plug, he took it to have the Nascar style rollcage installed. May get back on it this summer. Should start on Stuart's back glass in a week or so.
I know you gotta be grinnin' a little now.

daytonalo · February 13, 2008, 08:50:03 PM

nice , you might want to install glass and trim like I did to check that glass and trim fit properly . I now do resto work full time , problem is I don't want to work on my hunk of shit !!

BigBlockSam · February 13, 2008, 11:08:42 PM

Quoteyou might want to install glass and trim like I did to check that glass and trim fit properly

I'm installing the glass for good it ain't coming out again. I'll figure out a way of installing the package tray , when i get to it .

yes i am grinning from ear to ear . i remember when i started learning about building a replica . that was about 4 yrs ago .
and to finally see something accomplished, brings a tear to my eye

Larry, I have the opposite problem. Now that I have a shop full of resto work, I want to work on all of my own car projects at the same time.
I've even thought about getting my 77 Trans Am SE Smokey and the Bandit car out of storage when what I really need to do is just get the new engine and tranny in the Runner first.
Too many projects, not enough time, money or energy.

daytonalo · February 13, 2008, 11:48:17 PM

The package tray shelf must be done without glass installed and at the same time you must make area for window int trim to push on . If you don't do it now , you will have super big problem down the road .

you where the first person that answered some of my questions, THANK YOu.

i seen your car and i knew i wanted to build one. that was on the old board too . Rene

QuoteThe package tray shelf must be done without glass installed

yep i was out there today. i printed up some pics of daytonalo's shelf and sent him the thread about it . he's gonna instal it before he puts the glass in . i found the trim for the glass and bought the trim clips from napa. you need two bags to do the whole window . Rene

daytonalo · February 14, 2008, 04:48:34 PM

Must have been someone else , maybe Dane , I was never on the old board . I have been kicked off the new board a few times , but now that I'm on Medication , I'm almost normal !!!

Larry

69_500 · February 14, 2008, 05:13:43 PM

Its a good thing you threw in that "almost" normal.

Then again who amongst us actually normal? Then again if everyone is "off their rocker" wouldn't that become the norm?

BigBlockSam · February 17, 2008, 04:06:51 PM

PocketThunder · February 19, 2008, 01:51:07 PM

Maybe now is the time to ask.... how do you pronounce Rene? Reh-knee? or Rean? (like bean) just something i've always wondered about in the last 5 years.

my buisness partner is names Renee but she's a she

69_500 · February 19, 2008, 03:51:51 PM

You mean you won't answer to "HEY YOU"?

I wondered the same thing a few months back when I first saw your name in a post. I remember getting an email from you about 2 years ago, and it took me forever to figure out who the email was from. RENE known as BigBlockSam. Took a while to put 2 and 2 together. Maybe Im just slow. Heck I didn't even get to ride the short bus to school, had to walk.

BigBlockSam · February 19, 2008, 07:06:17 PM

hi
usually Renee is for girls . my nick name is SAM or big Sam . since I've allways ran big blocks . they started calling me big block SAM at the track and it kinda stuck .
I'll answer to almost anything just don't call me late for dinner.

A383Wing · February 19, 2008, 09:15:01 PM

BigBlockSam · February 22, 2008, 01:57:36 PM

I'm using the templates i got from performance graphics to get it in the correct position. oh well I've waited this long another week won't kill me. here's a pic of my wing ready to install. Rene
