Building a.... Dodge Daytona!

[FunfGang]

This will be good.

[white out]

At first I clicked on the link thinking it was one of the 90's Daytonas...thinking "Huh, this should be pretty interesting."

Then I found out it was one of the old Charger Daytonas. Now I really want to see this.

My thoughts exactly.

I'm in for this build.

I'm in for this also.

I come from a Mopar background in which my dad owned 28 (yes 28) cars.

I currently have my 68' Coronet 500 convert on my lift at my shop and just debating what i wanna do haha It did look pretty damn badass with my CCW's on the back when i had multiple barrels and lips laying around! 18x12.5" rear lol

Thank you so much!

Yeah, as a Mopar man, i must confess, that the 90' Daytona is.. Let's just call it special Also, it's cool to hear, that i'm not the only Mopar man here.

AK_S2K, its sounds nice, we have about 5-7 Coronet 500 68's here in Denmark, and no Daytona's! Feel free to post a picture!

Also, we are big fans of the Hot Rod Magazine show call'd "Roadkill"! We are really crazy with their style, of putting process on YouTube, in fact that much, that we are going to do it ourself! Every second week (Friday's) Are we going to put an update on youtube. More of that later.

Here is an picture of the 440" V8, that's gonna give the Daytona the true Mopar Soul. We got all the parts ready, just needing the time to assembling. In fact, you can also see, an 512" in the background

Allright, this is gonna be a short one, because i'm so god damn tired!

Good day today! We did for about 4 hours of working on the car. I got the differentials done, ready for painting, and assembling. I did move the leaf spring brackets, so we can move the leaf springs, and build some new wheel cases, for some serious tires! Here's what i did strip off the car: Most of the front end, the dashboard, steering wheel, the crack'et front window, and some other small stuff.

My dad got the new frame's for the backend ready, so its gonna be weld on next time. He also got the plate, that goes after the rear window to the trunk ready, so we can move the rear window out. Here's some pictures, goodnight!







Here is the new frame's for the back end!

this is gonna be an awesome build ! I love how you guys over there Love to restore these old american cars just as much as the people here do !

[Minicharger]

Yeah, its a bit funny. Actually, there is pretty many people, driving old american cars, here i Denmark, if you think about that we only are 5,5 million people. We have some okay summer meetings, believe it or not!

Btw, are we a bit different,my dad and i. I would like to make this Daytona, as in a real good condition technical, and underneath, but making it rat rod to look at (Maybe mat army green). My old man wants it, a bit more nice, to look at. Maybe paint it a decent color, and put the chrome list on. What do you guys think?

Awesome to see another young guy working on muscle cars, definately subbed!

I'd say nice clean paint and maybe blacked out trim. With a nice set of modern mesh wheels with deep lips.

Looks great! Keep this updated!
