Garbage or damaged Daytona nose?

This may seem like an odd request, but I'm looking to see if anyone has any "bad" Dayclona parts they might want to sell. I have a Post-Apocalyptic "daytona" (Janak wing) and I've been toying around with changing the front end to look more "factory" but it'd fit the aesthetic if it was damaged already. Think Mad Max but not in Australia.

Obviously I'm not going to spend a ton of money on a nice nose and destroy it but maybe someone has one already wrecked that's just sitting there. Bent, cracked, chunks missing... it's all good to me. I've attached pics of my car for reference.

Actually yeah... although being metal it's probably way outside my price range (if it were really for sale). The prices people are demanding for rusted shells these days absolutely hurts my soul.

Still, if that's really yours and you want to throw a number at me, feel free to PM.  :cheers:


Thanks,

Your car is f-ing bad ass! If I had that car I would totally make it into a road warrior car! For me it needs some flat black! I would have to watch The Road warrior a couple of times to get some ideas..

Offhand, the least expensive nose cone I can think of is made by a fiberglass parts company out of Canada called "Showcars Parts Unlimited" in Toronto. From what others posted in the past it's not the greatest for fit & finish. Doesn't matter, with an apocalyptical Daytona, you can just pretend that nuclear fallout altered it.  :lol:

Cool car you have.  :cheers:

Cool car!
Check out performance bodies https://www.performancebodies.com/ With some creative graphic decals there dirt late model dirt car noses and fenders could be made to look like a warrior Daytona.
Even the dirt Modified narrow wedge might fit the look.  If that look fits check out the local dirt tracks in you area there should be some racer with an old nose laying around that you could pick
up for little or nothing.
My first Charger was a Stock Car.

One of the reasons I left it yellow is to stand out against all of the flat black cars at Wasteland Weekend. I think I have the only yellow car at the event and because the paint is only on the back half, faded and beat up, it fits right in.

I had seen their ads, the complaints about them, and had the same idea...

Interesting idea - I hadn't thought about chasing down dirt track parts... any kind of wedge nose gives the basic idea. My friend had a spare Mad Max 1 nose lying around so I set it on the front of the Daytona and even it looked pretty awesome. Somewhere I had a picture but now I can't find it.
