Building a.... Dodge Daytona!

[Minicharger]

Hi there, my name i Tobias. 18 years old, and live in Denmark, in Copenhagen.

Firstly, i would like to say, that my passion for cars is massive, but my head engagement is in old cars, mostly Mopars, and mostly Dodge! My dad had introduced me, to this massive car maniac world, from first step. My dad, is an Mopar tech guru, and own 2x Dodge Charger's from 68'. Driving one of the Chargers as 10 year old, started my dream.... Off course, building an Charger some day, would be the s***!

Back to the topic. A guy from the american car environment, here in Denmark, was giving us a call.. He had an old 70' Charger, that had been sitting, for nearly 8 years, on an field, with cows, and pounds of shit We took a look at it, and thinking it through, there was no doubt.. We got on it!

The project: The Charger, is an extremely beautiful, masculine muscle car. But.... The top, the first car passin 200 mph, the Daytona. And thats what, we are on, building the beast!

You have my attention.

First day with the Daytona. Or let us just call it a Charger, until it gets the front+Wing on.

Starting with the most important issue.. The rusty frame's... (What frame's???)






Off with the differentials, springs and other!



Here is an picture, off the new Frame's. The old ones, was (from the wheel, to the end) so rusty, that there was no other option, than cutting them off, and buy some materials, for building 2 new ones, as you see on the picture

Btw, i forgot to say. The goal is, getting rolling, summer 14'.. We got, Engine, trans, differentials, wheels, everything, but still, is it going to be.. Hmm, creative

Here is an picture, of the Charger my dad created.. It was nearly as damaged as this one, and took about 5 years off creating.. 355 mm rear wheel tires, and an 360" small block six pack engine. Real good fun!

I can tell this will be good!

This is going to be good! Mopar guy here as well, definitely subbed for this one!

[axelillo_PR]

Yes please

[Minicharger]

Thank you so much! I'm looking forward to your constructive critic!

All you see from when we was picking up the car, to know, is one weekend's work. We're proud! Here is an little test.







One of the thing special with the Daytona, is that they took the rear window, and pulled it, a bit out, for making it more aerodynamic. Here is an test with a plexiglass rear windows.

You got a lot of work ahead, keep on keeping on

I have a very good feeling about this

[Minicharger]

We really appreciate your comments, it means a lot! We have a custom shop, so we have the perfect opportunity for creating and costuming, when we feel for it, actually every day!

At first I clicked on the link thinking it was one of the 90's Daytonas, like this-


...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.
