I won't be wronged, I wont be Insulted and I wont be laid a hand on. I don't do these things to others, and I require the same from them.

I love the wheels, sorry I do not like smaill rim FAT tire..... Although I respect that some people have that preference.  I like 17-19 inch wheels on a Charger.... again my preference.

Although my 70 may be running drag tires.... soo I will have one of each.

No - I wish. Just redid my yellow one. That one will be next in line. I have to deside what color scheme.

hotrod98

Selecting the color can be the most difficult part. I'm going through that right now with my daytona clone project. The car is a real triple black R/T SE. I've always wanted a red daytona, but somehow it doesn't feel right changing the color and not going back black. The worst thing is that living in the south makes black a bad choice due to the oppressive heat in late summer. The heat is so bad that you probably wouldn't even be able to drive the car if it were black. This is a moral dilemma for me. The plug and deck lid are completed and I'm working on the nose assembly now, so the car is only a couple of weeks away from going into the booth.  :scratchchin:

Red may not make that much diff - it gets hot too. I was thinking of Sassy Grass Green - ??? not sure... I might just go Red again. I do not like white, Petty blue, faded yellow, any metallic's so what am I left with??? - Not much. I might do a Hemi Orange one. Not sure on that because I think that looks like a faded oxidized red.

If I went with a Sassy Grass Green I would keep the green wing (do not like black wings and a white wing I question on that color) and paint the stripe over the green in a custom Sassy Grass Green Pearl. It would be subtle. All with a light doeskin interior - All thoughts.

Dane, with all of the daytonas that you've built, I can see where it would be getting difficult to decide on a color. Since this is my first one, I really wanted to stay with a color that was available on a 69 Daytona. Or at least a close facsimile of an original color. We've decided to paint my wife's superbird clone tor-red (hemi orange) instead of limelight. We already have one limelight car. So that leaves out hemi orange for the daytona. We had a challenger convert that was vitamin c orange and I didn't care for that color much.
Since you've gone the red route at least a couple of times, I would think that you would want something different just so that people don't think that it's the same old car that you always had.
If I didn't go red or black, hemi orange would be my third choice. I've been experimenting with the hemi orange color by leaving the metallic out and I like the way that it looks. Now that I think of it, I kind of wished that I hadn't talked my wife into switching from limelight to hemi orange on her bird.  :scratchchin:

Stuart, when I removed the back glass to reseal it, I couldn't help myself. Having all of the daytona parts lying near the car didn't help either. I decided right then and there to go ahead with the conversion. I tend to make decisions that way. I plan to have the car at Branson. That's why I was hoping that you would have the motor replaced in the bird by then.  ;D

What the secret to a happy marriage.?? 

When i was engaged to be married seven years ago sitting in the lunchroom at work, the oldest guy in the company at work looked me straight in the eye and said, "The secret to a happy marriage is two TV's, one upstairs, and one downstairs".   

After being married for 3 months i realized what he meant..  :brickwall:
"Liberalism is a disease that attacks one's ability to understand logic. Extreme manifestations include the willingness to continue down a path of self destruction, based solely on a delusional belief in a failed ideology."
