Car has been dissembled down to a rolling shell, the nose has been removed and handed off to the body shop, its being evaluated as to what can be saved. The brackets etc., are all solid and can be restored, but the outer sheet metal is rough, we have not yet decided the plan with that, been talking to wingedwarrior about options, but we got time because the car itself will not be going to the body shop until around December. We want them to first finish the 71 Charger R/T,... make us happy with that and then they get the Daytona. They have done good work in the past for Paul, but not taking it for granted. Besides, the R/T is on the rotisserie that will be needed for the Daytona. Engine has been torn down, it was frozen solid due to a head gasket blown a long time ago and it rusted cyl #1 rings to the wall...many years ago. From the condition of the cratered piston top it must have happened a long way from home and driven anyway. The rest of the cylinders were real close to spec, very little wear, no more then .002-.003 over. It took some time but I finally got #1 piston out, the wall was not too badly damaged, prob +.030 will clean it all up. Already purchased all new sheet metal pieces for the trunk floor, main floor, LH inner fender and tail light panel. And that's about it for now, thanks for asking! RJ

Wow! Just read through all of this.

Maybe it's time to make a for sale ad. :)

A complete numbers matching B5/B5/White/440 auto with broadcast sheet and fender tag aught to be worth a decent amount of cash in today's market compaired to the car that started this thread.

Well didn't get the Texas mess I started discussing here in April, but I did fullfill my dream and bought this one November 1. Had to sell my 6 year restoration AAR and putting my baby 65 Cuda total resto up for sale over Christmas, put off retirement a few more years but its worth it. Here is a tease picture unloading it at the shop. Numbers match 4 speed Y2.
