Thats right I have finally found a 69 to build a Daytona clone frome. Its a 3x green stripe delete R/T (kinda wish it were a 318 for clone sake,but) It has some rust issues and all , but I feel I got a decent deal on it so here we go!!

I will post pics of it in a couple days when it gets droped off. 

Anyone have a vega hatch they want to sell?

Well, to make you feel better, the real ones start off as R/T's anyways..... So, you're making it more authentic...  :icon_smile_big:

Good luck and look forward to the progress..........

Sweet!   :2thumbs:

Will the Daytona be green Brian?

Im actually leaning towards White with red stripe and black interior.....That is subject to change though cause this project will be far more spread out than my 68 was.

Nice project! Congratulations! So, to recap, you now have a black '68, and soon a white '69, and I'm guessing down the road (sorry about the upcoming pun) a red-all-over '70?  :icon_smile_wink:

I plan to use the steel one.....which is one of the reasons that this will be a longer term project 

More money= more wait and save time.

want to drive to Fargo...... :shruggy:

Actually I just scored a decent hatch at the local yard for 40.00, but I would be interested in a rear window and trim cause the are absent.

Very cool Brian. I am starting to round up parts to do one as well but will likely go with a glass nose in case it gets damaged. Our roads up here in northern BC leave a bit to be desired!

Hey if you com across any other hatches let me know as I am having troubles finding one!

I am looking forward to following your progress!

metal is the way to go. the better the nose is from the beginning , will make it easier when your mounting it later on .

I was just thinking fiberglass is easier to repair when somebody who does not care (most people) back into your car at the mall! Agreed steel would be better than glass!
