Graveyard carz Daytona ***NEW PICTURES ADDED*** 4 UNCLE FESTER

[moparstuart]

It was odd not watching it.  I was watching the last episode with Mark, the guys and his wife at a pizza place last week, but I really didn't get in to it since i was thinking of a millon other things. To bad some people don't lighten, Mark and his family are great people, despite what they may see on the show.

Dont let the haters get you down tom  .

Lookin good Tom, can't wait to see some paint ( bet you can't wait either)

That IS a magical moment for sure. I remember when my username's namesake got its 1st shot of LL1 Turquoise, it was so cool..........

quick question , see green arrow in the picture below ,  whats that hole for / doing there   cant remember seeing it on any other  69  

also , i don't mean any offence & i'm not picking on / undermining anyones work ,
the spare hold down bracket looks a little too far to the left ,  will that matter , ie spare tire hitting  filler tube   

have a look in the second  picture

?repo trunk hole wrong spot for tank sender wire .Or a gas vent tube

[r4daytona]

Don't know what that hole is for, probably something from the repro trunk floor as pointed out.  I will ask Mark to double check that Since he has another AMD trunk floor in one of the storage pods.  Thanks

Def alittle to far to the left,and the hole ?? The sending unit wire goes thru the lower trunk floor to the right of the bracket.Good place to put the air shock valve !!!!LOL

[69 OUR/TEA]

Wooops,as seen in the pic of the yellow  orig trunk floor.

If you look at the location of the bracket in the "yellow floor" pic and then the new floor pic you can see the bracket was welded too far to the left.  It looks to me like the hole in question would wind up under the top of the bracket if the bracket were welded on in the correct spot.

 The hole reminds me of the 68-70 B body Ply long gas vent tube hole.

I'm sure that true, I can't wait either.  I think the more magical moment (for me anyway) is going to be when it actually sinks in that I'm driving a real daytona. Just wondering how paranoid I'm going to be about other drivers -- always looking in my rear view mirror!

Ha, yeah I'm with you Tom.  So while you're driving you newly restored limited edition 69 Dodge Daytona simply repeat the phrase ,  " It's just a car, it's just a car, it's just a car"   

[held1823]

drive it like you stole it.

(or snuck it out of the garage, in my case from days gone by)

 Here's the video I promised.  Yes you can all laugh at my chipped tooth!  Broke it years ago and of course on ym second day the piece broke off.  My girlfriends son did the tech conversion stuff so as they say... it is what it is.  I'm sure someone will find something to complain about though.    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynSIr9hut58&feature=youtu.be

It did hang him up there for a second didn't it.     I replayed it a few times & couldn't figure out what he said (under his breath) after that.

[r4daytona]

He is a great sport and a really nice guy.  If some of the haters met him they might change their mind.

[thehemikid]

...no hate here...just

Surely. 

Some may think I have been a bit of a hater on GYC.  I have been going by what I saw on TV - which Mark put there.  I haven't been Facebook friends or been to the shop so I haven't been going on anything but the TV show.  Early on I knew it was 'dramatized', that's easy to see - but how much?  Couldn't tell until I got to know the show and crew a little.

Over time I've parsed out some of the behind the scenes dynamics of the show.  I've also seen some just plain poor behavior on the show, beyond just 'garage humor' imho.  I'm sure behind the camera Mark is a great fellow and all, but in front of the camera I'm not so sure even now.  If the drama absolutely must still be there it would be cool seeing the guys trying to 'one-up' instead of put-down'.  In general I do love the show for the Mopars but would definitely like to see less ego involved and more actual car work.
