Okay, my new home office has been completed and the computer is back up and running.  I should be back to work on Allen's Daytona this week for sure. Other than driving up to pick up my freshly rechromed bumper for my superbird, I have the schedule wide open for the first time in a while. First thing on the agenda is to prep and paint the front end for the car and start the final assembly before taking it to the trim shop to finish up the interior.
It's supposed to be in the high 60's here all week so that should work out perfect for painting.
Here's a couple of pics of the car taken a couple of days ago. I had to move it into the storage building while the guys finished installing the new compressor and air lines in the body shop. It's in good company with the wingrunner and the Black Ice bird.  ;D

One of my guys blocked the fenders, hood and nose on the clone today. I'll prime them one more time and they should be ready for final sand and paint. I can't wait to get this one finished...so I can start on getting my bird re-painted.  :icon_smile_big:
Actually, I plan to work on the bird some while the clone is at the trim shop.

Me too.
My priorities keep changing on a daily basis. This car should have been finished a year ago. They could make a movie about all of the crap that's happened to me in the last couple of years.  ;D

Hope everything's going good in your world, Rene.

Even with all of the negative stuff happening around me, I will have to admit that finally being able to buy a Superbird has made me feel a little better about life in general.
I plan to install the new clutch in the bird this weekend, bolt on the rear bumper and wing and go out for a cruise if the weather stays nice. I've only driven it around here close to the shop and have been dying to get it out on the road.

Hey Allen, we re-primed the daytona clone parts today and should have them painted before the weekend. Pics will follow.   :coolgleamA:

Thanks, I look foreward to the pics.  Rain here all week, even if I had the Daytona couldn't cruize, but the weather will turn soon , so don't be out to long in Black Ice.  All play and no work makes Allen a sad boy :'(

as far as times being tuff, thankfully health is not an issue but trying to do a rightious/worthy restoration of a sorta low mile all matching superbird while unemployed is not easy. i would call 43,000 miles low but some may not. :shruggy:

wingless now, but still around.

To make you feel better, I've been blcoking on your parts all day. I found a very small dent in the hood so I'll repair it and spot prime it tonight or tomorrow. Don't know how we missed that one.

43K is real low when a car is 40 years old.  :2thumbs:
Mine is 64k and that's low to me.  :yesnod:
This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.

Transfered insurance from the 68 to the 69 but they would only insure it for the same amount as the 68 until I can provide the car for them to take pictures of or provide an independant 3rd party appraisal.  I thought agreed value was agreed value :shruggy: I guess that means they don't agree ?

Hagerty quoted me $421 a year on the Daytona clone.  I have State Farm now with agreed value.  They are right at 1/2 of that cost a year and will only Insure it for $25k until they can see the car or have a 3rd party appraisal.  What do others do for insurance?  How do you list it?  My qoute from Hagerty was as a 69 RT/SE Modified.

$421. is a lot . it's because they put it down as modified . that makes it more expensive . my 39 cuope is listed as modified and it cost  twice as much as any of my cars to insure  .  :cheers:
