Life isn't Father Knows Best anymore, it's a kick in the face on a saturday night with a steel toed grip kodiak work boot and a trip to the hospital all bloodied and bashed.....for reconstructive surgery. But, what doesn't kill us, makes us stronger, right?

NICE! just did it... lemme' what questions you have.  :2thumbs:

Mike, did you use a steel nose or glass and what did you use for the plug? I love the look of angrier and would love that combo with the satin finish but would think I was being a copy cat!

I have had things happen to me in my life which necessitate a cage. My vision is a caged Daytona with a twin turbo 440 with a 4 speed with the Passon gear set. I want to build a true 200 mph beast which can be daily driven.

Congrats on the picking up another car Brian. Looking forward to seeing the work you will do with it.

Please let us know what the plans are for the driveline in the car, or did I miss that part already? See what all happens when I take a vacation for a week.

Driveline plans on this car will be 440 (likely a very mild stroker) 727 auto, and a 3.55 8 3/4.

Thanks for the congrats Danny.

PS If you get a chance ,please check out my other thred looking for detail pics.....you likely have all the pics I could need.

Any questions?  Just ask.  Check out the Winged Warriors 09 meet thread and you see my clone, (the red one).  Built using Janak's stuff, 'glass hatch.  Headlights are electrically operated.  Mine started life as a 69 R/T also, stripe delete, which tends to confuse some.  Good luck!

QuoteMike, did you use a steel nose or glass and what did you use for the plug?.

All my parts were done by Mike Goyette of Dayclona in Massachusetts. The nose is fiberglass and the rear plug and wing are all steel. His number is 508-977-0680 and is a GREAT source of reference. He made EVERYTHING, even converted the headlights to electric for me.... the man knows his stuff.  :cheers:

Quotemy parts were done by Mike Goyette of Dayclona in Massachusetts.

Mike is one of the best and his parts are first rate . if you have unlimited cash do what nycmile did and just give mike your car . you'll get a beautiful daytona back . there was no way that i could afford his parts or services  .

Dane's wing is better then his too .

if your like most of us you'll be swearing and busting your knuckles on the car till its done . it did give me a great feeling of satisfaction . knowing that it was a hard road to complete my car .money wise and work wise .
i got r done .  by far the most satisfing car project i have ever done and i have done over 20 cars in my life .

you got nothing to worry about with info or help . now all you need is cash for parts . Rene
