Moparstuart's Daytona clone project

I miss that car. I knew that I would. It seems strange for it to not be sitting in my shop next to the B5 runner.
After I bought them, I started bringing the runner back to life and went through pretty much the same thing that you're going through with the Bee. The guy that I bought them from hadn't driven them in several years. He would start them up occasionally, but that's not enough to keep them roadworthy. Now when I drive the runner very far in the heat, it wants to vapor lock. It started that in Branson a couple of weeks ago.
And, I still need to install the new tranny and convertor in the runner and add disc brakes. It's always something.
I'll bet you money that I go through this with the Daytona clone once it's finished.

Stuart,
The wing looks real nice. how is the weight compared to the real one?

HotRod,
I thought the Daytona was already sold? or were you talking about painting a different Daytona? I gotta stay in the loop better.
wingless now, but still around.

i have not weighed it but it must be very similar to the oringinal . The solid one was much heavier .
