This cone has hours upon hours in it - to reinforce (instead of a unibody this is a unicone) the cone so that it supports itself. In these pics only one bolt is holding this cone on and look at the fit. My design will use only four bolts to hold it on – and in 5 minutes I can have the whole cone off the car. I used Z brackets once, and never again. With all due respect to those that use them, I think they are a joke of engineering.
The fitment is a modern fit idea with as little of a seam as possible. All I will need to do is go over it with a fine tooth comb for detail –then I move on to the hood, doors, trunk, quarters, then rear window. Should be done by early spring.
To be continued...

Wow! That thing fits like a glove! Very cool! Can we see mounting system?
Is it metal?
Wow, great job. :cheers:
wow....about all I can say at this time
That looks great! Thanks for posting. Yes, let's see some more!!!
:popcrn:
The mounting system is so simple you will all laugh. The trick is reinforcing the nose. I re-glass most of the inside - with ribs and some stringers. The weakest part of the glass nose is under the top mounting ridge (it will sag and crack if it is not reinforced) - I re-glass up to a half an inch so it can support 25% of the stress/weight. Then you all know the ridge that the 70 front fenders have right under the rubber bumper seal. I build up the cone (top fender sides and down the side of the cone-inside) so it literally fits like a glove and rests secure (75% of the load) on that 70 fender front ridge. This also keeps the nose from shifting to the right or the left.
I add glass under and above the front grill so I can sink the grill down so the grill surface is flush (after you add the metal screen. This also makes the nose that much more stout.
Keep in mind not having the weight of the Z brackets and I-beam rail helps too. My nose will weigh about 35 lbs including my aluminum headlight flip up door system. My front end is at least 150 lbs lighter than a 70 Charger (no I beam frame bracket). When I am done I have to torque my front end down because it sits higher because it weighs that much less. As they say - every 100 lbs lighter = adds 10 HP.
The bottom is like any other Daytona nose and fastens to the lower valance - that is reinforced from the top L (iron) bracket that the top of the nose is bolted to. The L mounting bracket is bolted to the top fenders on each side in front of the hood adjustment. This bracket also adds strength to the front fenders and keeps them from flexing in the front past the radiator support.
Like I said, 4 bolts and the nose is off the car. This has been tested at speeds in excess of 120 MPH including hitting a dear head on.

Dane, another wing car for you in the works, congrats! I sure the build I had started years ago, oh well...maybe someday again I'll have another. If we drive down next summer, hopefully we can meet up as well, I'd love to see your cars/projects.

looks good Dane could we see the mounting system?
Most of the body work is done. The last thing I do before the plug is the trunk. This car is amazing, hardly any rust. The trunck was slightly pitted and came out great. After I shoot this blue the plug goes in. I finish the trunk completely because after the plug is in there is no way to paint it unless you have super loooong arms. :yesnod:
I can't wait to start on the plug. Shooting for the end of Oct. By Nov. the car should be ready to shoot blue.

I wish - I was 20 years old, never even owned a camera. Never thought of pulling out my phone from my pocket and taking a picture :)
Mounting the nose - for a clone to me - need not be so complicated as the Z brackets are (and sloppy to boot). If it was engineered today - that would never be done. So, if mine is a clone, I'm doing it a better way. 4 Bolts and my nose of off. My car is much lighter now too.
Dane
not 120 mph but here are a couple deer hit steel cones
Dane -
I was wondering if you might have some more info on how you built up the nose to get it to fit so well. I have a Superbird nose - no Z-braces yet, and would love a better, nicer way of attaching it. Would this system work with fibreglass fenders? Would I have to be some sort of rocket scientist to make it work?
Any chance you could PM me your emaill address? I tried to PM you, but your inbox is full...you're obviously a popular guy.
I am still YEARS away from completion, so I thought I'd start picking your brain now...I hope you don't mind.
Thanks!

I did not know my mail box was full - I thought no buddy liked me :)
I would say off the top of my head, that FG fenders will not work the way I do my nose. I need the strength of the actual fender that is tied to the Radiator support for rigidity. Then down the side and bottom for the same reason. The only option is if you used a steel reinforced fender flange from the radiator support to the front of your fender.
Thanks! I thought there might be a hitch with fibreglass fenders. Of course, I still don't have fenders of ANY type, :shruggy: so I'll keep this in mind.
There has to be some 70 fenders out there for you. Even on this board.

A must before you install the rear window - the headliner grippers -

Thank everyone - I do things one day a week, so it took me a couple of weeks - working here and there. It is not easy - you really have to have an eye and feel for it - a lot of adapting as you go. It is not like they made the Vega hatch for the Charger rear plug :)
They say they have a Vega in Sherwood Or but they will not tell me if the hatch is still there - U- Pull it rinky dink outfit.

:coolgleamA: looking good :yesnod: :popcrn:
For all you guys that have done them. I just picked up the Vega rear window hatch for mine. Does anyone have dimensions or a schematic on how you located where to center the rear window to be correct?
Beat the tunnel out and shove it up as his as you can get it (after you cut the back reinforcing of the hatch off) - then your good. You get it too far up (that seems impossible) the top of the hatch will be too high and you will not be able to match your roof line with the metal piece that you use to fill in the gap at the top. You want 11.5 inches from the bottom of the window to the trunk lid.
Thanks Daytona Guy this helps.
Very very nice work.I sure do know the hours this kind of detail can take! :2thumbs:
I guess now I just need to get the 71-74 Charger Dutchman panel, an original decklid, or the dimensions to modify my decklid or find a deck lid already done.
You should call yourself "DANECLONA" :icon_smile_big: :yesnod: :scratchchin:

Dane, Thanks for bumping this up since I am doing a more Nascar inspired Daytona I like the way that nose is flush to the fenders looks TONS better than the rubber grommet. :2thumbs:

Looks awesome Dane it appears that since you have built a few of these cars its getting easier for you Im getting ready to start tearing into my Daytona project and i may have many questions for you luckily for me and not you i still have your cell number.My question to you is have you ever thought about making a manual or video of you build with pics and drawings so that novices like me know where to round the parts up and actually are able to put that kit together to make a daytona.I know it has taken a few years of searching and lurking on this site to figure the puzzle out and buy the right parts to make the right kit and if it was easy everyone would be doing it. I know several people would like to do a build of this calibre but its very costly just for the parts i would buy your book or video it would help with the questions that many on this forum would like to know i may be private messaging you with questions soon.Cant wait to see your finished product i love the nose and have been studying the very same possibilities for a slick fittment on my nose cone. it looks like you have it figured out and the color combo you are doing was one of the colors i chose in the beginning looking forward to updates.
Dane what color combo are you going with a white stripe and white interior
With wing and light tan intirior - like my Yellow one has. White is to stark for me, plus a white intirior is more of a black and white intirior. Too much work for a video.

If making a video is too much work you can always pitch it to a TV station for a reality show & call it "Wing Wars" & get sandwiched somewhere in between Storage Wars, Shipping Wars, Cake Wars, & Whatever Wars.
By the way, can't wait to see the finished car. :cheers:

There is no name - just a Dupont code BS916 Blue or Spectramaster Blue. Those two fender pics do not look like the blue it is at all. It is two shades darker than Grabber Blue, and a shade darker than the 73 Challenger solid blue.

Even this pic does not look the same. My Iphone changes the color. The bed looks like the true color. It is not near a neon as some of these pics make it out to be.

By that, does it mean the Indy blocks don't give you the option of choosing wedge style engine mounts?
wedge ears on a Hemi Block , IMO not a good idea !! thought about getting one of these blocks when mopar first started casting them, thinking good idea !! saves all the hassle , Mancini or could or been another were offereing a deal on these blocks too sometime ago ( guess they wernt selling when the world block came out ) , trouble with the hemi head number one exhaust port ! the primary header tube has to bend forward & drop down under the stock Kframe , cause the wedge motor mounts in the way on driver side
:popcrn:
The problem with the schumaker mounts is that they set the engine too high from what I'm told. I used a repro HEMI k crime mega parts . Everything bolted together perfectly like its supposed to.

I know your son was on one of these posts a bit back. He said you were on Hiatus for a bit while you continue to work on your newest creation. Will you be making more of the wings? And will this also be one of the things you will be offering soon? I spoke with Larry the other day, and he said you were the man to go to if looking to build a clone. It sure looks a heck of allot easier then the real Daytona I am helping to work on right now. I think your on track with the weight issue, as those dang "Z" brackets do add a whole lot of weight to the front of this car. Have to say: "that looks bad A@@." You are truly creating a work of art and a grand high standard that only the best will be able to compete with! :cheers:
Dang forgot to ask this too :brickwall:. If the black gasket between the nose and fenders is no longer needed, how will it hold up to the twists and turns of the car? Will it absorb the vibration and movement without cracking? Is that what the reinforcement of the upper corners are for? Just asking because I remember reading somewhere that Chrysler added this gasket for the very reason and since you have done extensive testing (even taking out a deer :2thumbs:) were there any signs of splitting or cracking in this area? Don't know enough about the aero dynamics and the vibration issues enough not to ask this question :brickwall:.
I am going to mount my nose flush with the fenders with no gasket (looks better imo). It's not gonna move I made steel Z brackets and bought the Z bracket mounts from Larry.

Quote from: Gary42 on September 26, 2012, 09:16:58 AM
Dang forgot to ask this too :brickwall:. If the black gasket between the nose and fenders is no longer needed, how will it hold up to the twists and turns of the car? Will it absorb the vibration and movement without cracking? Is that what the reinforcement of the upper corners are for? Just asking because I remember reading somewhere that Chrysler added this gasket for the very reason and since you have done extensive testing (even taking out a deer :2thumbs:) were there any signs of splitting or cracking in this area? Don't know enough about the aero dynamics and the vibration issues enough not to ask this question :brickwall:.
If I do I will put a thin fiber pad where it can't be seen as a lubricator. I have never had a nose crack where they meet the fender. All cars now use a butt joint just like the lower valance is joined to the fender and it doesn't seem to be a problem.

I know your son was on one of these posts a bit back. He said you were on Hiatus for a bit while you continue to work on your newest creation. Will you be making more of the wings? And will this also be one of the things you will be offering soon? I spoke with Larry the other day, and he said you were the man to go to if looking to build a clone. It sure looks a heck of allot easier then the real Daytona I am helping to work on right now. I think your on track with the weight issue, as those dang "Z" brackets do add a whole lot of weight to the front of this car. Have to say: "that looks bad A@@." You are truly creating a work of art and a grand high standard that only the best will be able to compete with! :cheers:
Yah, I'm not too worried about mounting things just like original, after all it is a clone. An acquaintance in Salem here who restored his original Daytona hated mounting the nose. I think the mounting of the Daytona nose is a joke of engineering. 4 bolts and my nose if off the car. I can pick up my nose, with fully functional lights (cast aluminum) with one hand. They, Ma Mopar, had to do what they did to some extent because of the steel nose, that has no self-support - like the hood it requires reinforcement. Fiberglass is pound for pound stronger than steel and has no need for reinforcements – it can stand alone, in fact it is better if it is allowed to flex if it has to, as when I hit that Deer :) Also, with my headlight design, with changing the pivot point, one screw (that acts as an inner pivot) if loosened, I can take the whole headlight out of the nose in 5 minutes.
Dane
Breaklines in - stainless is so nice.
Also, does anyone know why the HEMI engine harness is way more in cost.

they are different the starter wiring set up is totally different on a hemi
You will need the hemi harnesses. Do you have a positive cable yet? I have an extra one that I can give you a deal on. Are you going auto or manual transmission?
Sorry for my ignorance, but why is it different? If I wire it up like my 440 and it works who cares, right? wrong? Does the electrical know there are HEMI heads on this block??? Someone please explain.
Dane
The Hemi harness will have the extra wiring shown as the dotted line just below the battery ( Hemi Head Only ) I believe
.Hey did you pull it - That was interesting. I did not mean to moch it at all - that is helpful for someone to read that know what they are looking at.
Yeah, the red lines on 2nd version made it exceed the 200kb barrier so it would'nt load, then I had to go do domestic duties :D
Can someone tell me why? With the MSD system I am using - and the starter is just using a simple relay from the ignition. The only thing I can think of would be something to do with the distributer. But that makes no sense either. A HEMI is not from another planet. Bigger beefier wires - bigger gauge? I just need a logical reason, and not just that it is.
That schematic is like reading Japanizes :) Is that an egg roll I see :) Can someone point out the differences from that?

Yes, using an auto - what do you want for the positive cable? Is that the one with the smaller red wire that runs with it down to the starter that is molded together at the end? Is this any different than a 440 ?

Indy Cylinder Head Hemi
Any collection of sentences purporting to be a crate engine buyer's guide would be remiss without a Gen II Chrysler Hemi. Arguably the gold standard of horsepower since the '60s, old-school Hemis have been stomping their Detroit rivals for decades, and the Indy Cylinder Head 572 certainly lives up to the Hemi's fabled reputation. Packing 572 cubes and 770 hp, this pump-gas Elephant has all the right stuff, including a World Products block, forged rotating assembly, Indy S/R aluminum heads, and Indy dual-quad intake manifold. The Hemi's manly 272/280-at-.050 solid-roller cam is reason enough to buy this motor, and we'd argue that its prodigious displacement could easily tame another 20 degrees of duration. The Indy 572 comes with a Milodon oil pan, dual Edelbrock 750-cfm carbs, MSD billet distributor, and plugs and wires.

Isn't the difference between the starter and it's wiring?
Dane , I'm with you about the harness , it's not rocket science !! So what if you have to add another wire or modify .
Could you please post some pics of your nose mounting system and really love your work ! Also what does an engine like that list for ?
Larry
You could get the 440 one to work. No doubt. But, th Hemi one is longer and just plain differant. I for one do not like to creat any hassle with these cars . They will creat enuf on there own......
PS Dane. The batter cable I have is the correct style repop, but its for a 4 speed so it wont work without mods, so again Id just get the right one.
What do you guys think of this. I will paint it black so it doesn't jump out - but for 350.00 with fans?

I have one in my car , and i sell then . THe Raditors cool good but fit you have to massage everything .
Besides the fact that every vendor who sells a Hemi-only part sees you coming a mile away ::) , the Hemi engine harness needs to be longer if you're going to route the wiring in its original location (a few inches below the spark plug wires on the passenger's side valve cover). You'd have to route a B/RB harness across the top valve cover nuts/studs to make the shorter length work - but that's more a matter of personal preference.
Another reason it costs more is the additional connector over the passenger's side valve cover below plug #6. The only purpose for that (which I can see anyway) is to be able to disconnect it and keep the engine harness out of the way when pulling the valve cover for rocker lash adjustment. That awesome-looking 572 is a solid-tappet cam, so using the "right" harness will make that task marginally easier. Since I think you're running power brakes, it's not going to be much fun to set the valve lash anyway, so keeping a B/RB harness out of the way is (comparatively-speaking) a minor inconvenience.

Good to hear from you Hemigeno - you are always so helpful and practical. I am thinking of running the wiring where the 440 put it - along the intake and valve cover ridge. I would like to keep the VC clean looking.
I am getting that engine with a hydrologic rollers and rocker set up, stock HEMI oil pan and stock wrinkle paint VC's - so hopefully will be a better user friendly engine. I know I'm getting less HP, but really, that is OK :) This will look mostly stock because I like the contrasting simple look. Too much color and texture contrasts makes for a too busy engine bay. I like things clean and simple. HEMI orange engine (including intake) and wrinkle paint valve covers, with the wreck tangle HEMI orange air cleaner, custom 572 HEMI wording aloft, I think will give this a clean beefy look. I'm going to be making a custom fuel line - to get the plumbing out of the way from in front of the air cleaner. The fuel line with follow more of a 440 path and will split for the 2x4.

Sounds like a plan! Going with hydraulic roller tappets is not a bad thing at all - you can increase the ramp speeds of the lobe to make up a bit for the tappet difference. That's what we did with the 440 in my car now. You'll be hamstrung as much by using stock manifolds (if that's what you do) as any other single factor in your engine build, but there's still some really decent power to be made with that combo. There's still no replacement for displacement.
:cheers:
Very nice build Dane! :2thumbs:
Amazing Dane - can't wait to see this beast!
Thanks everyone for the encouragement - And a shout out to Mark (Kent WA) for helping me on my chrome window trim. A very generous guy. (I modified this - it was Mark - not Mike - sorry)
Need some help: Looking for and engine bay front headlight harness, but do not want to buy a new one because I cut it all up for the modifications I do for the Daytona (my style). All I need is a ratty one that maybe someone wants to chuck - as long as it is not all melted at the bulk head.
Unrelated pic, but I painted the drip rail molding bracket satin black instead of stainless - this way it lets the chrome drip rail stand-alone - seems more balanced aesthetically.
Also, on the drawing board are custom door panels. 1500.00 for door pads and everything is crazy. They will incorporate the look of the outer door scoops and be raised more like the newer cars. I should not post this because it is sooooo much of a rough draft - but it give the idea I am looking for.

Dane,
I was reading up on drive shaft lengths because I need the one in my Scamp shortened due to a rear end swap & found the following info. One thing I didn't save was a comment that mentioned you should physically measure your own car to be sure since there may be slight differences in vehicles from accidents, flex, etc. I'm not sure how much that would vary but it made sense.
There was also a link to a good chart that had info for all cars, engine combinations & years, so I printed it out. Here is a scan since I don't have a link handy.......
First page of 4.
Second.
Third.
Fourth.
Thank you so much - Old Moparz !!!!!!
Dane
Well that was timely, I just found a driveshaft in my garage and wondered what it was from.
Hopefully I can measure to see what it fits.
Thanks for posting Bob. :2thumbs:
HI Dane, sorry, no info on the driveshaft, just wanted to say the project is impressive, color is great. If the timing/weather works out, maybe I can see it next time I'm up in Oregon. Your car will be a killer with that motor in it! You don't by chance have any contact info for Mopar performance do you?

Does anyone who what the bolt pattern is for our Chargers. They use these funky numbers - I have no clue. 5x114.3 to 5x120 - screw their dumb metric crap :)
Dane
Chargers are 5x4.5" which is the same as 5x114.3cm
Metric>Imperial :icon_smile_wink: :stirthepot:
Now I get to add my touches to it. Don't like aluminum after a while - just begins to look bad - so it is going HEMI orange (and not the block orange - yuk).
I got the MSD with a rev limiter -
Here are the Numbers from the Dyno - 713 HP @ 5600. What I love is the 600 HP @ 4300 and 735 TRQ at the same. All with a Hydraulic roller lifters and roller rockers - Someone look at the specs - and see if there are any concerns????
Did some measurements - I have from the top deck (where the stamping pad is) 11" to the hood. I will have to modify my air cleaner. It is a good thing I can work with glass because I'm going to be changing things :) Stinger makes the HEMI base - if I knew that I would have called them myself and saved a lot of money.

A little personalizing. They have "MODMAN" on the intake raised and "INDY" on the other side. I like the "Make in the USA" emblem. So I took that idea and will make my own badging.

With this ModMan intake higher rise - I had to drop the aircleaner down almost an inch - by cutting out for the carbs high places and linkages to rest the base right on the carbs. Looks rough now, but will clean up good.
This is what I have to work with... 5.5" to 6" from the center of crank shaft to the top of the K frame, 10.5" from crank to the deck pad, and 11" to the hood. Trying to keep it at 26.6 inches from the K frame to the top of the air cleaner.

I discovered something. These new World blocks are built extra beefy - so much so that the stock fuel pump does not fit just right. The casting build up requires some grinding for the pump to fit. I had to grind a little bit more to get my pump to fit.

Yes, but they were more expensive - Jegs beat them plus Jegs had free shipping. I'm looking at 2.94 gears for driving long disturbances. Not concerned with quarter times :). Plus with 700 HP it should get up and go either way. I'm also open to people's input on my gears. nitro caries a new ring and pinion at this size.
And thanks Indy.
Dane
We build and re-gear axles almost on a daily basis. Spend the extra few bucks and buy the Yukon gears. Also, look for a Powr-Lok , not a Track-Lok. Much better choice. You might also look at their Chromoly axles and tapered bearing kits too.

Thanks man !!
My two cents...(which isn't worth that)... you won't need anything deeper than 3.55 gears for that engine, and those carbs don't like anything over 5 psi of fuel pressure. I'd put in the off road needles and seats to stop the dreaded stumble/bog on quick stops and tight corners and then put a fuel pressure regulator in after the pump. I run twin 800cfm thunder series on my 572 so been there, got the t-shirt.
When both bowls are open - what will the pressure drop to? This is an 8 psi HEMI pump. I'm running 2 - 750's. It looks like i'm going to try out the 2.94's. Will be 2800-3300 @ 55-75 respectively.
What Cam are you running? Duration (@ 50)? Lift? Tire size?
Dane
You'll never see a pressure drop of more than 1 psi or so as the needles won't ever be wide open. Mine made 735 on the local dyno on pump gas. It could make a bunch more with some decent heads. Currently has early MP aluminum heads that I ported. I run 5 psi to the carbs and spray a 300 shot of nitrous and the pump feeds both the engine and the spray. I'm running a 274/280 solid roller with .685/.622 lift (that's the limit on this one due to P2V clearance). Tire is a 275 drag radial. 28" diameter. What do you plan on doing with this car?
My FHO hemi came with the pump and a regulator set at 5 psi . Works awesome.

Give me some pics of your car and engine - wow
Then why do I need the HEMI pump??? Can't I get that PSI out od a 440 stock pump?
THis is just a show car, to sound freaking good - 3" straight through muffs - and go fast - to smoke the tires - Pop the hood jaw drop - and to have the HEMI badge on the door :) Will not race this car - cruise well on the freeway.
My actual fear is that when I punch it the car will go sideways - I want it safe.

If I recall, hemi had 3/8 fuel line, 383 and 440 had 5/16 fuel line. Hemi also flows at 80gph. 440 flows somewhere between 40 and 50 gph.

You need the volume, just not the pressure. Like I said, put in the off road needle and seat assemblies, it'll prevent a lot of problems later. 3" exhaust is fine on a show car, but if you race this, it's a bunch of backpressure. The 3-1/2" collector on the tti headers is also fine for show duty, but with nearly 600 cubes, it needs a 4" to not hurt performance. I live with the 3-1/2 collector but run cutouts right after the header to help as much as possible. When you punch it, it WILL go sideways.

Doesn't look like a high 9 second car, does it? Run's mid 10's on motor all with 3.73 rear gears.

If I recall, hemi had 3/8 fuel line, 383 and 440 had 5/16 fuel line. Hemi also flows at 80gph. 440 flows somewhere between 40 and 50 gph.
And keep in mind that 5/16 fuel line fed 375hp and the 3/8 line fed 425hp. With 700hp at the flywheel, it's a different situation. I run 1/2" aluminum line.
was that your advertised duration?
Duration at .050 lift. Engine is 12:1 CR. Cylinder heads are crap compared with what's available today. Pistons are MP wiseco shelf pistons. The 526 that I have going together now will make a bunch more hp than this thing did, but once you open the bottle and hit the WOT switch, it gives me plenty of hang on factor.
I'm running 3/8's line - tank to carb. What make is your cam? My cam @50 is .235/.249 but they don't give me the advertised numbers it may be 272/280. How streatable is your cam? What does it idle at?
Nice ride -Dane
Cam is an old straightline, scott brown grind. Idle is normally at 900rpm in park. We drive the car constantly in nice weather. I drove it two hours to the strip and ripped off mid tens on motor and drove home. Doesn't have a radio, though so it's a little boring on the drive. I have an all aluminum 540 twin turbo hemi going together that should be even more streetable. It will be in a drag radial superbird clone. Cam in it will most likely be in the .260 at .050 range. Don't sweat the duration numbers, it's the valve events that are important.
If this is not too inconvenient, what is this height - from the top deck to the bottom of the carb? This ModMan intake might be a little taller than most. I'm a using the oval air cleaner. What air cleaner do you use? What Mounts did you use?
Dane

I'll measure that tonight. I used the stageV intake. I have an alterKtion aftermarket coil over front with the hemi engine mounts. Air cleaners are a problem. I modified a fiberglass base to fit. It barely fit with the air grabber.

I'm using Schumacher hemi mounts, they claim to sit the engine at stock level. I too have altered the base as I posted. I can gain a .5" if I take the point off the oval lid :)
Dane
That distance is 5" on my stageV intake. It's uncut. I usually mill 1/4" off of them when hood clearance is an issue. I've also done some fuel injection stuff to these.... This intake got milled around .200" shortly after this photo..
(http://i701.photobucket.com/albums/ww16/CRE2004/My%20Hemi%20Pics/Pic327.jpg)
Mine is 6" - so I have some fitmeant issues to face - I can't believe they are an inch different - they do not look it at all. Did you see my aircleaner base and how I modified it? Do you have the oval air cleaner lid - mine has the point or crown in the middle that is .5" that I am going to shave down and make it level with the rim - this gets me .5". My 440 - in my Yellow D is 10.5" from the top deck to the air cleaner lid. I remeasured and it is a 5.75" manifold - that leaves me 4.75" inches left to work with :( I may cut the hood under support out just over the aircleaner.
Dane
I was wondering about that modman intake. I've never used one but thought about it on my turbo project. I saw your aircleaner base and mine looks very similar although probably more of a hack job but I'm a drag racer first, show guy last. I have the oval lid. Mine hit the airbox from the center back but I also have the advantage of the airgrabber hood and the center hood bulge giving me additional room.

My FHO hemi came with the pump and a regulator set at 5 psi . Works awesome.
Recomendations for the inline regulator?
Dane
I use one of these, but any 5psi inline regulator should get the job done.
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/aei-13201/overview/ (http://www.summitracing.com/parts/aei-13201/overview/)
Why do I need to regulate it? When the valve opens - fuel comes in. Are we worried that it is come in to fast and wont let the valve close? How does it act if there is not one?
Dane
Around 6 or 7 psi and you start pushing the needle off the seat. You start to over power the weight of the float against it. A regulator will solve this problem. The "offroad" needle and seat assemblies will help combat the opposite problem caused by fuel slosh in the bowls. The ultimate combo is the offroad needle/seat assemblies with a regulator at about 5psi.
They did not come this way - and with these pumps - what gives. I'm sure these engineers had to figure this in right? Or let me put it this way, did the original HEMI's come with regulators? If not, did they have problems with too much pressure?
Dane
I was negative two years old when the first hemi hit the streets so, I have no idea if they had issues back then. I can tell you that they were not equiped with regulators from the factory. I'm unsure as to how the original vapor seperator affected the fuel pressure. Of the 20 or so that I've dyno'd with stock or edelbrock carbs, they've all had issues with the dyno's pumps putting out 7-8psi and now we routinely back the regs down to 5 on the dyno anytime it's not a holley carb. You don't have to listen to me. Hook it up and run it without a regulator and let your experience be your guide :2thumbs:
Thank for that answer - it was just the way my brain works. :) :o
Got some questions anyone ...
Can I bolt these new exhaust manifolds right up to these new aluminum heads without a gasket like the factory does?
Also, the ends where the pipes connect, they seem rough, do I need to sand that smooth for it not to flutter or leak?

I am breathing easier – looks like everything will fit. The myth that the Schumacher motor mounts lifting the engine .5 to 1 inch is just that, a myth. It is exact stock height if not a little lower that a 440. The Modman intake is taller – but the mods I made to the air cleaner base – and if need be – the hood reinforcement removal over the carbs, will make this a good for show.
Now I get to put it all together one piece at a time.
Will post picks as I go...

Not sure you need this much current - or how it makes it from 12volts - but hey. Went to the blue to keep things subtle. When the car the engine are already loud - you only need to be subtle. Bright Red - just too much. I'm sure MSD may not like me ;D

Just make sure to lose that ballast resistor :2thumbs:
I have no idea what I am doing yet because I have always used stock stuff. Does it use 12v and should I wire it stright across or does it not use that wiring at all?
Dane
The "start" and "run" switched 12v wires coming from the ignition switch and going to the ballast resistor just get joined and run to the small red wire on the MSD ignition. You can bypass the ballast resistor while still leaving it in place by removing the resistor guts and jumping it by soldering in a brass pin to connect the two terminals and make it "look factory" while delivering a full 12v to the ignition box. The heavy red wire goes directly to battery positive and the heavy black wire goes directly to battery negative. These two connections are critical on an MSD to eliminate issues. You can easily wire these ignitions up with hidden wiring and still keep the factory wiring intact but unused to give the stock look.
Thank you - Very helpful
I'm in big trouble. I thought I had a complete dash – so when I pulled my box out this is all I found. For the life of me I can't figure out what I had done, of if I never had a complete dash. Not sure all that I need but I need to put it out there to see if anyone may have the parts needed for me to complete my dash. I will post this under a different heading hopefully I can get someone's attention.

Yep, I think my recollection was wrong. I'm looking all over to find something now. I think I have most of the switches - that I really don't use - but the dash lights and the dimmer.
Dane
Did you ship your guages out to get the faces done? If you did, my guess would be that you done some playing when you got them back. After you admired your new stuff, I bet you left the other parts in the original box you had them in, but put these parts in the box with the guages.
No such luck - I'm on ebag and finding somethings - but I hate using ebag - I use someone else to buy my stuff from them.
Dane
I think the white base will be your problem. Yearone has the silicon board for $125. That might be the way to go to make sure you have a good electrical connection. I haven't seen the base reproduced yet. Best of luck. Maybe, you'll find it when you aren't looking for it.
Also, looking for the bulkhead - outer headlight harness connector - have the wires - just need the connector.

So true - At this point the base is the missing part that will hold me back - the rest i can get. there is a 68 complete - for 220.00 on ebag. The funny part is - I have 3 40 year old clocks that all work - go figgure - Will be calling in the morn.

I feel like I'm back in the 80's – I have this perfect stock radio face plate, and no radio, and need to cut it up to put a retro cassette deck in it (with a 1/8 jack for ipod), but I find it hard to cut up this perfect 70 face. What to do? They only cost 45.00 for after market. Is there a demand for stock face plates vs aftermarket? I would trade if someone wants this.
Also, I did not realize that Chrysler's boards are dry socket and no solder. That makes them corrode and come loose. I soldered my pins for extra strength. This board also had some alterations that I had to clean up and fix. Now it is ready to last.

Awesome project!
Dane, do you have a 2 or 3speed wiper? You have one molded plug that goes to the wiper that's obvious. If you have a 3 speed wiper, the switch has, if I recall correctly, has two extra brown wires. If you have one brown wire terminal connector with a slot (which I see now in your picture, you do, it is one of the extra 3speed switch wires. This wire goes to the switch spade that has a raised tip on the side. The slotted side of the plug goes on the side of the switch spade with the tip on the side. As mentioned, you have two wires that go to the 2-prong washer switch. If you let the wires lay naturally, typically those two are the ones closest to the washer switch. Then, by elimination, you can figure the other one that goes to the wiper ( if you have a 3speed switch ).
Hope I didn't confuse you......

I have not checked that...did the oval air cleaner come with a 2 speed wiper? First thing in the morning I will be checking. Thanks for the heads up.

as far as i know , the factory only put 3 speed wipers , on a second generation HEMI Charger , due to wiper motor -to OEM air cleaner clearnece problems ,
1970 charger r/t stock hemi engine compartment
1970 hemi charger (holleys)
of course the holleys are not stock but the picture may give you an idea on how much more clearence you have when using a 3 speed motor, i made a differant air cleaner for this car when using the holleys, differant spacing, larger ventury opening, fuel inlet differant, these are blueprinted custom built 750 holleys

Off the topic - What are the TQ specs for the flex plate bolts for the HEMI?

Service manual says 55 ftlbs for the flexplate to crankshaft bolts on a 383/440. I'd say the hemi should be the same. It wasn't listed

no way a 3 speed wiper motor looks great way better than a 2 speed
a correctly finished 3 speed wiper motor lends class to an engine compartment the lay down style look very good clean neat functional also note they use diffearnt linkage arms( under dash) than a 2 speed motor and a differant angled pivot assembly( mounted to the motor where the arms attach) and they plug directly into the main bulhead and use a diffearnt switch

Great - I have the dash in and do not have the other arms (it still has air). I thought they were the same. I have a 3 speed motor but it is very ugly. I like how it lays down, but the smeared red stuff is a blob of ugly even on the nice restored ones, sorry. But I have a 3 speed dash, and I installed the 2 speed motor and it worked fine. What gives?

the dash is the same, the switch is differant and the arms underthe dash( the linkage) is diffearnt on a 3 speed system IIRC as is the small angled part that goes on the motor itself, a 2 speed motor will work with a 3 speed switch just not the other way, i can not rememeber exactly what the differance is in the linkage arms but they are marked 2 speed and 3 speed IIRC, you might be able to get it to work with the 3 speed motor and 2 speed switch and the 2 speed arms? i just have never tried that combo but you might be able to get it done, a/c should not have any thing to do with the linnkage those are not hard parts to come by the small angled arm for the 3 speed wiper is getting hard to find sometimes they are on the motors sometime not, also you could make a small round aluminum insulated cover for the "red smear area" it could be mounted so as not to touch the wires and provide air gap between the back of the insulated cover and the wires, polish it up and put your daytona logo on it! might look good

I meant that the AC crap is in the way to get to the motor arms under the dash. There is NO WAY you can get to the motor arms without going through the dash - if not removing the radio - and even then it is next to impossible to reach the Motor. Anyway - I have to replace the motor - so who is the guy I need to reach? Is there any better contact info for "Julius"?
There may be a diff - but they will both function - because my car is a 3 speed (stock) wire harness - and has the 3 speed arms. I put on and ran a 2 speed motor. They may use a shorter (short) arm for faster speeds (stronger motor) with three speed arms. So both speeds on my car (with a two speed motor) would be really fast and would most likely shorten the life of the motor?
So is this a good deal 225.00? for this one through P4M?

Need some help...
OK got my tranny, rear end and exhaust installed - I have to get the parts for the tranny linage. I'm not going with a console, because I have had one in every Daytona I have owned. I'm getting tired of them. I loved the one of the Chargers I had that had a buddy seat. This allows my hottie wife to sit next to me.
The problem is, I am missing everything from the column arm to the tranny shifter, and cannot even remember what the z-bar and other parts look like and where they go. Need some help with pics - and if anyone has the parts or where to find them...
Thanks.

Jules is a GREAT guy!
A few years ago I was rebuilding a convertible top motor, and I contacted him about some brushes, he had some but he wasn't sure if they would work so he sent them to me for free, AND they worked and he still wouldn't take anything for it
:2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs:
Got my new Drive Shaft - in putting it in I find that the u-joint straps seem to small - Are they supposed to stretch to butt up? Or do I need bigger straps. 7260 strap and a 7290 strap - I'm guessing the 7290 strap - for a 8.75 rear end. Any knowledge would help.
Dane
I know this is not a good pic but this shows the little gab. If this is not right what strap do I need?

I'm not understanding - sorry for my ignorance - Is my strap OK? About the u-joint installed wrong - what do you mean?

I painted the back on insides to make it more like the 500.

pull the drive s out & measure to see which joint you have & get the correct straps,also make sure the c clips are on the cap.

So they are saying with the grease sert - you want it in the crush position instead of the stretch position? I have never cared about that in 35 years of building - but I have also never raced having all things lock in to launch either. Thanks I will look into it.
The clips were on - WHat do I measure? The caps?
Dane
Dane, Let me look my car was a column shift but I have switched it to a floor, I will see if I still have the linkage.

yes measure the caps!!! also this engine of yours makes some serious torque if it EVER HOOKS UP THE TIRES it could break U JOINT, I too learned about this the hard way,i now use non greasable solid ujoints on high torque applications

DENNY'S HEAVY DUTY is our MOST POPULAR driveshaft assembly. We have more of our HEAVY DUTY driveshafts out there in more types of cars and trucks than all the other versions combined.
The main reason is that you get the strength and reliability you need at a price you can afford. Smooth vibration free performance is what you can expect throughout your full rpm range.
With our HEAVY DUTY line we can connect just about any transmission to just about any rear end. And best of all, it is capable of handling the punishment of high performance street use and drag race applications.
In most cases we can connect this shaft to your existing transmission slip yoke and rear end pinion yoke or we can provide you with the entire package for a quick and inexpensive upgrade to your light duty OEM driveshaft. A perfect choice for most applications.
Comes with Spicer solid body non greaseable maintenance free u-joints. These are the best choice over a greaseable joint when strength is a consideration. Ideal for STREET RODS where the messy grease splatter from a greaseable type u-joint is not desirable. These joints deliver high mileage with virtually no maintenance.
i would NOT use that small diameter pos driveshaft in a car like yours :Twocents:

This thing is built heavy - I thought too heavy - they build shafts for everything - even huge machinery (Federal government military vehicles) - I asked them about that- They said no matter what, I could not twist this or brake it if I tried. They stand behind it for life. Believe me – I'm not worried :) But thanks - more eyes on what I do is very important to me.
MR DANE i dont think you realize the beast you have built,that car will be WICKED FAST

Not going to do that - yet. My budget is maxed - The way I built this - it will hold. I'm not planning on launching this - the tires will spin before anything else gives way. In fact - I want the tires to spin, I don't want to torque or stress the car as a whole, or put a load on the rear window. These tires are not going to do anything but smoke :)

Am I under the wrong impression? I have read story after story about how the 8.75 compares well against the FORD 9". Even my builder was impressed with the 8.75 – and said it would do me well. I know people who race their 8.75 at PIR and Woodburn and beat the mud out of theirs. Grant it, it's not the Dana – I know.
Dane
Oh yeah don't get me wrong 8 3/4" Chrysler axle is great and handles abuse alot better than other X brand rear axles, But that is one heck of a elephant you have in that Daytona and I don't think the ol' 8 3/4 will last long under that elephant! :icon_smile_big:
Yes - I've been looking at Dana 60's for 3500.00 - new. This one cost me 1200.00 from drum to drum. This one will be more of a cruzer show off car than anything. I'm going to be easy on this - who wants to tear up 20K of an engine? Not me.
I'm getting really close - Can't wait to put the fenders and nose on it - and start on my wing. Have to repaint the hood - did not like how it turned out - distortions in the base - looking at getting a new gun. I will put it together, then in the spring pull the hood and paint it. If I don't get the bug before.

Looks awesome. :cheers: :drool5:
Looking sexy. Why the 500 badge?
More because I like the offset style - and the fact of homologation rules requires 500 Daytonas to be made. Also that the Daytona was the next step after the 69 500 - a tribute to the progress. Plus it will be kind of fun to see some people think I used a 500 to build the Daytona. It is fun to hear all the theories people have when they look at your car. But the bottom line is I love the offset Badge. Glad you noticed :)

Looking good Dane!! I take it those are HEMI badges off a new Charger! :icon_smile_big: I gotta get a couple for my Daytona as well!!

I see what you are getting at. The on the floor shifting requires some different linkage to lock the stearing so the car can't move from the P. On column shift cars - there is no need - the linkage stays to same and is different from the floor shift and 4 speeds.

I have some of this stuff. Use the picture in this post and tell me what you do have and what your missing. Most of the small block stuff is differant. An example is the small block cross shaft is longer because the transmission is narrower. Most of the rods are differant lengths also! Contact me at moparjohn@frontier.com .

i have never seen one quite like that what is the additional unit on top of the gear housing? looks good polished up, for a show car will look good
I didn't like the red blob on it so I had "Kim" put the 72 cap on top. That gold coating buffs right off to a not a very good chrome - but to me - better than the flat annadize gold (for a custom resto).
Dane
lookin good
More progress - with silly little details I enjoy, like the door dome light switch. Glass beaded it, then buffed it. The new ones are not what I want – The package try is not the final (glass not in yet), but a rough test fit. I have it well insulated all over and under.
I am wondering if I should sound deaden my trunk. I like to show the detail of the paint and the finished trunk, but I also like to deaden the sound???? what shoud I do???

Looking good Dane! :2thumbs: I would run that Dynamat, you can a knockoff brand for a lot less though, I saw a 68 Stang that was done with it and they even did the underside of the roof, floorpans, trunk, firewall and the noise difference was amazing.
my :Twocents: leave the trunk floor and sides stock , and just put a ton of sound deadener between the
back seat and trunk divider .

Did that - but the whole car becomes a "speaker" cone - and any place you dampen it - keeps the sound from traveling through the body and panels - I am using a membrane. What I did not like about dynoMatt was that it has an aluminum backing (that helps retain its form - and not for heat - aluminum is the worst at retaining heat), and if anyone knows, aluminum does not like to stick to anything or anything to it. So, tacking carpet to it is a pain - I didn't like using it. This Grace stuff has a rubber backing that glue loves to stick to it - me liky :)

^ I use that stuff all the time for exterior flashing, didnt know it did sound deadening too. :scratchchin:
I prefer the foil bubble wrap myself..
Getting close, love the car.
OK, got the linkage in and all hooked up (thanks to mopar John) . Now I notice that the column flops forward and backward. There must be some spring to loaded it back to keep it from going from natural into R and P. Even when is it back - it still shifts - Help :)
Also, what kind of fine thread nut - holds the steering wheel on? Are they to be really thin?

Auto Custom Carpets - is the best carpet I have ever used - rubber coating on back - super thick 20 ounce cut pile. Well molded. Very hard to install but well worth it. This will deaden sound way better than any carpet I have used. I have a factory undercoated car, sound deadening membrane, rubber coated carpet, padding, and thick dense carpet. I can't get it any quieter than this. With 3" pipes - and 700 HP - I want it quiet inside but loud out the back with straight through muffs.
Package tray is .5' plywood, .5 dense fiber insolation under it, and 2' insolation behind the seat, and under the seat in the back.
I love this carpet - will never go anywhere else for carpet.

Me likey too. The wheel with the magnum 500 cap that is.
Spent the day assembling the headlights, mounting fenders, and mounted the nose. After 6 months the nose still fits as it was tested. Headlight motor works awesome. After the nose is complete - the wing is the last thing - and the car will be done.

You really need to explain what you are doing with this.

My guess would be a tunnel ram setup like on the fuel injected crate engine chevies.
It's a 16 injector dual fuel setup for an all aluminum 540 cube twin turbo hemi. One set of injectors will feed pump gas and will handle street driving up to a limit of 10psi boost. The other set will handle race duty with 110 octane and whatever boost the 76mm billet wheel turbos can produce. The turbos will each feed an air to water intercooler and then into a stock LS style throttle body which will be mounted on the front of this intake.

LOL not even close to being done.... no crank, rods or pistons in that thing..... It is going in a superbird clone though :2thumbs:
What will that motor weigh? Hood scoop? Who's Valve covers? I feel all my HP being sucked out of the air - and all going into that engine. Ha ha
Dane
Valve covers are Indy cylinder head units for extra clearance at the shock tower even though I'm cutting out the factory shock towers since I run a coil over converted front end. The block saves 150lbs off the nose. I have a flat fiberglass bird hood so I'm hoping for no scoop. With the motor plate I should be able to set the engine lower if I need to in order to clear. I'm building my own aluminum dry sump pan so it will be very low profile and eliminate ground clearance issues. The plan is a full belly pan to just behind the engine to hold a diaper. The whole car will be slammed with the chin spoiler on the nose about 3"-4" off the pavement. Everyone I talk with says it should lay down nearly 1800hp at the flywheel and around 1600 to the tire in race trim. With the OD and eventual 3.55 gears, we think it'll go a high 7 low 8 at 160mph in the 1/4 mile at and then be able to hit 200 in the standing mile. Did I mention I want to be able to drive cross country and then do this with about an hour prep time after the drive?? I also have a trailer to tow behind it that will look like the back end of a bird, wing and all. The only thing I'm missing now are $$ sponsors.... lots of $$ sponsors.... lol :smilielol: :smilielol:
For those who are building a Vega rear window Daytona – this is very important to do – that is - by adding this black trim, as new cars use, helps to hide the inside trim and black rope that will look really ugly from the outside. This step cleans it up really good.

That looks very nice. I like the package tray as well. The typical black tray gets old.

Yep :yesnod: been on my list of things to do . is that painted on? :cheers:
Electrical tape... Just kidding. It is tape - body striping.

The lid was the wrong kind of HEMI orange plus it was a terrible paid job. Now it is the same HEMI orange as the engine and is a sheet of glass - ready for the 572 HEMI decal. Hood install and air filter base fitment - next.

Nicely done! Great job. :2thumbs:
Thank guy for the comps...
It is always hard to drill 4 holes in a perfectly good quarter panel :)
I, for the first time lost it with a parts supplier. I ordered my interior door panels from one company that were defective and it took me two months to get my money back. I ordered from a different company that went through Legendary, that then sent me upper door pads from them. I just lost it. I want my car done. I get really tired of complete incompetence. Now, I went through Classic and they don't have the front panels, but do have the rear. Where to now? Got to get the front door panels – they are the 70 Deluxe door panels. Will I have to stoop and lower myself and bend over and order from Year One?
Missed a spot on the center piece of the wing - will be bolted up tomorrow.
I polished the Allen bolts – this will make the wing even more aerodynamic and slip through the air.

When should we expect the first drive? :popcrn: :popcrn: :popcrn:
In the next month. I still have to cut half the car - so a lot of little detail yet to do.
Dane
Dane, the use of the flash on the camera really changes the color of the car. The color is closer to Petty Blue correct?
Also what is the material you used behind the door panels as the vapor barrier I assume?

The flash washes the color out. I'm not a fan of Petty Blue - so I went out of my way for it not to be that color. This is 3 steps darker - next to grabber blue this is yet that much darker. In the sun though it will wash out any blue so who knows. Kinda like Ralley Red - in the sun can appear orange.
That matireal is very cool. I found it a Loues - made out of the same matireal as dynomat - without the aluminum backing.
Looks great Dane!!! I have a question though, why no wing upright gaskets?

Thanks man - I don't like'm. To me, they don't look clean with a black gasket there - it breaks up the clean color flow. That's just me. Black wings are not as noticeable. Also, not finished - the quarters will suck up and seal very nice - My gaskets are there - but they are not noticeable.

So, why no console? Installing a buddy seat or just leaving the space empty?
I apologize if this was mentioned before - what's with the 500 emblem on the tailpanel?
BTW - the car is absolutely gorgeous.

More because I like the offset style - and the fact of homologation rules requires 500 Daytonas to be made. Also that the Daytona was the next step after the 69 500 - a tribute to the progress. Plus it will be kind of fun to see some people think I used a 500 to build the Daytona. It is fun to hear all the theories people have when they look at your car. But the bottom line is I love the offset Badge. Glad you noticed :)

Out of the 11 Daytonas I have done, my first had the buddy seat. I really missed it. I am always looking to do something different. Kind of got tired of the flimsy console, and wanting some openness up front.
As to the 500 - I kind of like the thing there. They made 500 Daytonas (homologation), so it does fit the build. Keep in mind I'm not trying to fool anyone here, as to this being a real Daytona. To me it just represents the 500 Daytonas made (not that mine is one of them). Thanks for asking.
Dane
These are premature pics – the car is not completed or detailed. It is dirty and dusty and not cut yet. Aa lot of little detail yet to do. Windshield will be put in on Monday. Still a month away from completion.

I dont know what your original factory interior colours or trim options were Dane, but I think its pretty cool going for buddy seat and velour insert in an otherwise sea of black interiors everywhere else. Not everyones taste but definetly standing out from the crowd in a good way
Nice one, looking great :2thumbs:
awesome work !! interesting color combo :yesnod: , like the 70 seats with 69 insert clever idea :coolgleamA:
keep the pictures coming :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :cheers: :popcrn:
Thanks guys.
I did not want vinyl because all I did was slide around and is clammy and cold, plus they tend crack along the stitching (leather acts the same). Suede leather was an option, but that looks good for a while, then mats down and collects dirt. So this was my option. Looks a little more cheezy in a pic than in person, it blends in really well.
This was a factory 70 Rally Red with black interior car. Love the 70 seat, and with the insets you really stay in your seat and are very comfortable. This has the 6 way adjustable driver seat – never knew they had this option. Kind of quirky to adjust, but they do work. I can tilt back, lean forward, raise and lower, and front to back – all mechanical. Very weird, after all, they had electric adjustable 6 way seats long before this in their luxury lines. I love white interior, and I had that in a B5 blue Daytona I had, but the only thing with the white is that you had to have a black dash and carpet and package tray. Too much monochrome for me on this build. I know this looks like my Yellow Daytona's interior, but it isn't. These are two completely different colors – has a darker tone to it. I wanted to go for a more luxurious feel when I sit in the car. I have four different layers of insulation – this will be a loud car outside and relatively quiet on the inside :)
Oh, another thing, has anyone ever had this happen? I put something on my consul one time and was driving around, then I had to break and the thing (can't remember what is was) I place on my consul slid forward and knocked my car in neutral. I guess that will not happen on this car – ha ha.
I feel like this build will never end – aaaaaaaaaaa

I got the hood on and found out one of the hinges were bad - aaaaa - So waiting for the new ones to come paint and mount. Cutting the paint - next week is looking like a reality for a functional state. Can't wait for a photo session.

Legendary is not too swift - didn't cut out for armrest in the back seats - OK - don't want'em. The the snap clips are not even close. Quality control does not exist in any company any more. Sad.

I can't get over how this blue looks nothing like these pics show it as. In the sun - blue just washes out. It looks Petty Blue, but it is not even close. It's not a photogenic color I think. In person it is so much more brilliant.

This blue one is it for me for awhile, Stuart. I am getting my shoulder replaced this fall and I've tore up my body enough. I'm going to be training my son to build my wings, they are too much risk, with little reward. My son is a very talented artist, something that it needed to get the wing shaped right, and will produce a good product with my oversight. Building cars, the way I do, mostly on my own, is hard on the body, and the Wing thing is losing my interest, so, I really just want to enjoy this one. The thing about wing cars and cloning, cost wise, the guy who buys the car gets your labor for free :) probably 30k of labor. in the future I may just buy a very nice charger that is very well done and complete, like they did at Creative, and then do the cloning and repainting, or, just buy a clone.

Lookin' good Dane. I was just telling the guys' over @ that Registry about me selling you that tick toch tach for $2500.-- & you getting $3k for that grill. ;)
So...let me know when the yellow one's for sale so I can let Tom know. Now if he buys this one it'll end up with the drivetrain out of my purple car, ha. And since I only have one hot rod nowadays, the Daytona would most likely stay with me for a decade or so...wishful thinking.

nice job :drool5: :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :cheers:
Looks killer Dane!! I really like the shaved sidemarkers, much cleaner look!
Ya, well done. Just enough customization to improve on the original design but not go overboard or cheesy
Thanks guys - I have more pics but I'm on a plane and the only thing I've got is my iPhone and I can't figure out how to post a pic with my IPhone.

Went camera happy and the car is not even done yet - as you can see I don't have the exhaust tips on yet, and the HEMI badge on the R door, and the paint is not detailed - but I could not help myself.

Dane, mighty fine job sir.
Ever see that TV show "19 Kids And Counting"?
How 'bout it Dane? Start up your own reality series, "10 Daytonas' & Counting"?
So...what's easier? Raising a dozen & a half kids' or building 10, 11 or however many you've built Dane?
I know when I sold the red one I made the mistake of mentioning you had built 9 of them already & 70% of the questions I got were how to get a hold of you.
Dane, may I ask what is used on your heater core pipes coming out of the firewall.
Also the top of the water pump. Did you cap the nipples or not use them at all & run 2 plugs?
thanks in advance
472 R/T SE, ghbanked Hauler, Budnicks , Daytona R/T SE - thank guys for the encouragement - this build wore me out -
This is to document how to get a Modman, and any HEMI intake besides the stock lower profile one. I gained about 2 to 3 inches and have plenty of room under the hood. This MODMAN Indy intake is top rated, and allows for 4, 6, 8 barrels and a blower all in time.
Also, for what it is worth - taking order for wings - for summer run.

I used plug from - like the plug get you get in a kit - at and auto parts store that plugs up carb openings, I still have to get that foamy thing that covers up behind it. Also, I just plugs the water heater send and return - never use a heater - it just gets In the way. I goal was to make it a very clean uncluttered engine bay. I love engine bays - I detail everything. If you see the V-reg All you have to do is put it on a buffing wheel, and they chrome out good.

Hi Dane, how much for a wing? Thanks Terry
$1900.00 plus shipping.
This is the letter (below) to the guys who are on order now...
Wings,
I'm going to put in the order in the next two weeks for wings. If you are still interested, I will need $950.00 upfront, this is what the foundry needs as a down payment. Then within the next three months we will pop these things out. So I will be doing them in either the order that I receive down payments, or when someone contacted me first :) The total cost will be 1900.00 plus shipping that seems to vary from location from 125.00 to 165.00.
When your wing in completed I will contact you for the remaining $950.00 plus shipping, once received, the wing will ship.
If you have any questions, let me know.
Dane Gjesdal
8385 Aumville HWY SE
Salem OR 97317
What I will need from you...
1. $950.00 Down Payment (check is fine) or $850.00 with 1050.00 due on completion. (sorry)
2. Your Name and Address
you're about to shortchange yourself with those amounts.

I have a dual quad intake for a 440 that I was hoping to use with an air grabber hood & was wondering how I was going to mate the carbs up to the air box. This base looks like it will allow me to do it & for $100 it's worth a try.
Great looken' boy Joel & future Mopar Gearhead you got to love that...

Not sure, depending on the weather. My son and I want to show both Daytonas at the muscle Beach Cruise on June 15th in Seaside OR, but it always rains. this is where we will show both the blue and yellow one together before I sell the yellow one. we are trying to find a show before then to.
Dane
nice. I have attended that show/cruise for the last 3 years, but will not be there this year, due to a family wedding. But it does always rain...good luck!
I got a good laugh. My wife was joking on FB about the fact that I have 3 Mopars and one wife. I responded by saying I'm a Moparygamist :)

I want to post a thread for all Daytona Clones from this forum. Finding links to peoples car(s) is very difficult. They should have a place to go on this forum where each member, by name, can display their car(s). I did a thread awhile back, "Daytona clones from around the world", but this new thread will be just DC members.

I do like them both equally :) One guy (dumb) walks up to the cars and looks inside and says, "the yellow one is better and faster, it has a four speed". I guess he does not know the difference between an auto console, and auto on the column, daaah. If he only knew :)

Did about 70 -to 8o MPH @ 2900 RPMs. Amazing ride - I felt like I could to 100MPH and not even feel it because it was so smooth. I love manual steering - tight and in control. Don't think I will ever go back to power.

I just had an amazing Fathers Day weekend with my family. Been working on a car so that Justin and I could do a final car show with two Daytona's. I'm selling the Yellow one, so we set this weekend and this car show at Seaside OR, to be the Swan Song for the yellow car. Everything worked perfectly, great weather, Justin got off work, Jill took off work, Gab came and loved the trip over by riding with Justin, Joel had a blast; something for everyone. The only surprise was that my Yellow car won the trophy - go figure. We also got the premier show case - the middle of an intersection - parked together.
Oh, and by the way, the 572 HEMI got 14 MPG on the way over (127 miles - over half full when I got there). My 440 does not do that. My rear end, cam, combo for the 572 HEMI - is everything I was looking for, power (713hp & 736 trq), quickness, cruising speeds (70 MPH @ 2800), and now gas mileage for great cruising range. I know people did not believe me, but the proof is in actual reality and not someone's doubts :) ;)

Was you being towed? ha ha!! :icon_smile_big:
But seriously, it's always great to hear of someone's super day out. Enjoying their hobby to the fullest. I'm guessing it will be a Father's Day to remember. :2thumbs:
My boy, who went and got the trophy, said that, "this is awesome Dad", "Best Muscle Car". My favorite to win because I actually beat the Furds and Chebys in this class.
Good thing I did not bring my Yellow one :) ooops, not mine now :rotz:

I know exactly where your coming from. I got 15 mpg with my 526 stroked hemi. People I told about it looked at me like who does this guy think he is spewing such bs. I wasn't running the crap out of it but I wasn't putting around either.

My wife Jill...

I have the best wife ever. For my 50th, she got me into and scheduled "Hot August Nights". Staying at Circus Circus (since we are bringing Joel), and showing the car at Casino Area. Now I have to find a good trailer. I don't feel comfortable taking my family in a Daytona with no air in August. I will either rent from someone, or buy one, depending on the price.
I have never been here so any wisdom for me would be appreciated.

Who bought the yellow car?
You might contact Tom Benson. He has an open trailer he might rent you. If not, he may know of someone with an enclosed as well.

Thanks man, I am looking at a new one for 2300.00 16' and low profile. The 18' was too high - didn't like. So I know the car will overhang a foot on each end, did it before and it looked OK. I like the open trailers because I want to be a rolling car show :) If Tom has a nice one I might go that rout, but using others stuff always scares me.
Dane
PIR, Portland International Raceway - Called "Beaches", great show, I'm guessing 1000 cars, Drove my car 60 miles, hot, stop and go July 3rd traffic, temp stayed at 190 to 200, but not sure it will hold up to 90+ Hot Aug nights weather driving. Still trying to figure that out...

My fear with foose is that he would two tone a Daytona. He is a predictable two toner on most everything - or flames - that to me is just outdated no matter how hard they try to update it. They need to let the old flames die out - with big metal flake :) These cars need no fancy paint schemes - the car speaks for itself. The creativity is in subtleties, by cleaning up the cars rough edges around windows, trim, openings, with modern updates. Even adding the new challenger fuel cap I could see working; it even opens the right way. I would even like to see someone update the hood, lengthen it, and get rid of the louvers, then hiding the wipers. Most likely this is way too much work than it is worth, but I have never seen it done on these (except for the new Chargers/challengers re-skinned as a 2nd gen).

Well I hate that you don't like the two tone deal cause that's what I have in mind for mine. Anyway I have been tinkering with the idea of doing something more modern with the wiper treatment and what you suggest sounds interesting. While I think I can do the recessed cowl area which will hide the wiper arms I would need a longer custom windshield to hide the blades. I have to do something in that area to make the wiper motor serviceable anyway.
I might just have to have the cowl be removable. We'll see.
Stevearino : Dude, you do amazing work, do as you please. I'm not a two tone guy, unless it was a silver Coud Rolls :). This is what makes the MOPAR world go round. Make a killer two tone and people will laugh at me :)
Here are some amazing pics from a guy who was hanging out his window on our way to the coast, I got a pic of him doing this, thinking, I will never see the guy. I ran into him at the beach, and he just emailed me these pics - He is from Utah ... Must say these are some of the best pics of these two cars together ever...

Pixs of both awsum Daytona s on the road are great..i miss the yellow one and knowing it went so far from our great state of few wings is down right sad,boo hoo.
as far as Reno i say stay to freeway an main routes.. more services and room to pass or bee passed. been thru reno 10 times or so on vegas runs to see my brother. Reno is a dirty ,windy,dusty,,,did i say hot an dirty place.
good luck an hear it is a great show with cars an people from far an wide. :2thumbs: :cheers: :popcrn: :drool5:

One good sized excuse why they're able to ask such a reasonable price for them.
I did some research and found nothing but good things about these tires - Carlisle Sport Trail 6-Ply Boat Trailer Tire ST205/75D15, they are not cheap. I had them on my boat trailer - and lasted me 15 years, and the only reason I had to replace them was because they where old. I'm not going to replace perfectly good tires. I know they are bias ply, but heck - who cares - its not like I'm driving this this for 20-40k. If I put 2k a year on it I would be lucky. I will check the axles - they look good so far. All inspection stickers on variouse locations are checked as well as on the form. They are very detailed.
Dane
If you don't use the trailer that often, when it's parked, cover the tires with something, the sun rots tires fast. They make tire bags, like the paint shops use
Bryan
Carlisle makes a good tire, it's what I have on mine. As long as there is no "Chino-Hi miler" label on the side of the tire, or something like that, you oughta be ok. Don't want any black donut marks on that pretty blue paint, unless you're 'racin!
Ok - anybody been to HAN ? How do you manage your tie there? I know the Mopar day is Wednesday. Someone give me some ideas on what to do? Cruise at night? Go to one hotel to another????

You really did a great job blending the nose to the fenders Dane. What if anything did you use between the nose and the fender.Any sort of thin gasket material or rubber or did you just mate them up?
Amazing how much that blue changes with the light. (to me anyway)

The actual point of contact is under the nose, it is not a butt joint, I would call it an "L" joint. The contact points are just a painted surface like the joint for the front valance, but not a butt joint. I would add it is not perfect at the bottom, it is close, but at some point something has to give after you mock it up, tear it down, then put it together, fenders, doors, hood, valance, it just never goes back the same with all those gaps involved.
Yes, this blue changes with light and camera settings - It is darker than some pictures show.

Yes, it is one of the sore points with me. At some point I feel sorry for original owners of Daytona's at shows, because the average Joe thinks mine is the real one :) I still can't figure out why on the real Daytona's the lower valance does not match the same radius as the nose.

Somewhat related. It was the general fit and finish ethos of the day. Back when I restored the 74 Laguna Bobby Allison car for my friend in Florida I really had to rework all of the door seams and cut the fenders to blend the factory nose. When my friend displayed it at Amelia Island at a tribute to Bobby he had a long conversation with Junior Johnson about how hard I had to work to make the body parts blend together. His remarks were that they had the same trouble back in the day because the manufacturers used to run the stamping dies way past their useful life. Horrible fit and finish. While Chrysler had much better fit and finish than GM products by far I am sure Creative industries looked around at what was acceptable and that is what they came up with.
I love it! Way cool Dane :2thumbs:

Im mounting my nose like this since I am going with the "Grand National" version Daytona... I always hated that big black rubber gasket... looks like trash...
The Grand National guys often ditched the big rubber gaskets too - Harry Lee Hyde told the story of how the gaskets would balloon outward while the #71 was on the track, which created drag. The team filled in the gap solid (I don't remember how he said they did so), and used black tape to represent where the gap & gaskets "should" be.
Harry Lee also said they took a pickup truck full of Daytona nosecone gaskets to the dump, since they decided not to use them any more :rotz: :brickwall:
Beautiful car! I will be looking at this for motivation! I just purchased a 70 charger for a Daytona clone project...hopefully to park beside my bird clone. Trying to explain to the wife why we need two wing cars....she can have 100 pair of shoes, but as soon as I want two wing cars it turns into a discussion...

Good question - bolted across the top and bottom at the regular places. The top first then bulled pulled in at the bottom - both adjustable.

There's that salute :lol:.
4th of July parade - with my daughter. Makes for good flag placement. 90 degree day - one hour long - engine temp 200-210 fluctuates depending on rapping it out. Stock 3 core radiator, copper, with a factory 7 blade fan. 713 horses - never overheated. I did replace the clutch (fan) with one that is always locked in. Fun Fun -

713!!! :o :o :o Looks like we just found something old school to go up against that new 707 hp 2015 Challenger. :yesnod: :yesnod:
You have to appreciate 707 - in a reliable drivable tame domesticated car like that. Amazing. It has all the gears - 0-60 and beyond. WOW

Have to wait a few years and maybe get a lumped up Hellcat and build another Daytona. Only problem is if they lump it up at the speeds it is capable of there won't be much to work with. :lol:
Some summer shots - Also, now I can say MOPAR or NOCAR. All I own now are Dodge. We have 69 Daytona, 09 Challenger, 2013 Charger, and my new (for me) 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 Cummins. I upgraded and added my touch. There are before and after shots. Had a Sub 454 - hated it. Never owning a Chevy again.
