DAYCLONA 07-29-2008, 11:16 PM Don't know if all of you guys had been following "Mr Angry", Mike Musto's build of his latest ride "Angrier".......although the car came out awesome,.....a few "gremlins" reard their heads during Mike's run, during the Bullrun II race.........mainly tire/ rim failure, and some ignition maladies, the fuel cell Mike had made for the car had to be replaced early on due to leaks.....he kept on truckin in the daytona, until the rims failed!.....stopping any hopes of seeing the Daytona finish the race........I had the privilage of fabricating the aerodynamic Daytona parts and installing them on his 69 Charger......Mike and others finished his "vision" of what he wanted in a modern "G"-machine.........I believe Mikes next plan of attack is Bonneville salt flats.........looking to join the 200 MPH club!..........here's a few pics of the build........Mike Musto also has a new site up and running, www.mrangryinc.com ........below pic is the starting point, a stroked 471 cid, 4 bbl, 5 spd Keisler equipped .64 OD TKO, 3.91 geared 8 3/4

charger70 07-29-2008, 11:40 PM I watched the Bull Run show only because of Mikes Charger. I giggled like a little girl when he beat the Lotus on the bus challange. Sorry to hear he didnt finish the run this year.
What kind of wheels? and what went wrong with them?
GTXperience 07-29-2008, 11:41 PM Just how large is that fuel cell?

The rims in question were custom built for Mikes car, they were of a 3 pc design.........although the rim faliure seemed due in part to the fastners bolting the rims together,.....the jury is still out on the cause?,,,,,,,until the wheel mfg has chance to look them over?

DAYCLONA 07-29-2008, 11:47 PM Just how large is that fuel cell?
Total capacity is 44 gallons!........Mikes plan was to eliminate gas stops, and aim for 500 mile runs between fueling................although I think he was better off going with this idea!
DAYCLONA 07-29-2008, 11:51 PM heres Mike Musto exhausted after 27 hrs of driving just to get to Calgary Canada, the starting point!
DAYCLONA 07-29-2008, 11:53 PM :) roof shot....................... be sure to check out Mike's site www.mrangryinc.com you'll be seeing more of this car in future media events!
charger70 07-29-2008, 11:56 PM This one does look "angrier"! Nice job.
I like your other work too. My favorite is the 71 Superbird.
charger70 07-30-2008, 12:03 AM Hey, I'm actually a pilot. I might be able to help him with that refueling thing if he needs a copilot next time:grin:

Nice job on the nose and wing. Nice donor car you had for the project. That must make your job alittle easier.

5wndwcpe 07-30-2008, 08:32 AM Man, that car is sinister looking.
moparstuart 07-30-2008, 01:09 PM Mike can you tell us what parts you made on angrier? What material is each part is made of ? I'm building a daytona clone and my buddy larry roper raves about your parts .

Was that the cell that Mike made or the replacement? If it wasn't the second cell, was the replacement the same capacity? If not, why was that? Man, am I inquisitive today? :D

the replacement was just a stock factory tank he could find ,stuck out in the middle of no where montana !
oh and speak of the devil and larry pipes in LOL

Stuart........as I tell most people the parts that I make are as original in appearance and constructed of the same materials as original, with 2 exception,......the nosecone being fiberglass instead of steel, and the rear wing being hollow steel instead of aluminum as original ( some of the superbird parts have been transfered to fiberglass to lower there cost,.....example: the rear window plug on a bird can be fiberglass without having the same issuses that it would on a daytona,.....bonding/ blending issuses)
but I can fabricate any part in any medium that the customer desires........
Mikes Musto's (Mr Angry) 69 Charger came to the shop only wearing 70 Charger front fenders and hood........the only Daytona piece Mike supplied was the OEM Daytona rear window glass ........all the parts required to transform the Charger into a Daytona took approx 90 day to fabricate, the installation took 8 Days......
Good to see some of the DC.com guys made it over here!....

larry cant make up his mind what color he wants , he's as bad as a woman changes his mind all the time. :tongueflap::tongueflap::frog:
charger70 07-31-2008, 08:16 PM I read Mike Mustos recount of Bullrun on Mr Angry.com. He said he got pulled over in Canada for doin 95:fit:(i assume mph). He didnt elaborate, How did the Mounties react, and what did it cost him?
hotrod98 07-31-2008, 10:06 PM larry cant make up his mind what color he wants , he's as bad as a woman changes his mind all the time. :tongueflap::tongueflap::frog:
You got that right. Since painting some of the panels red, I've just about decided to go back to black. The red just doesn't scream "mean".
A good friend of mine sold me the car...cheap. He had owned it since the early 80's. He wasn't too happy with me to begin with for making a Daytona out of a real triple black R/T SE and when he saw the red, he was even more upset.
It wouldn't be a big deal, but he owns one of the nicest vit c 69 runners that you've ever seen (I painted it...:grin:) and he plans to sell it to me in just a few months when his new Challenger arrives. I don't want to give him any reason to change his mind. Sounds trivial, I know, but I really want that runner and I keep thinking that a real black charger probably should stay black. Keeping him happy could make me happier.
moparstuart 07-31-2008, 10:12 PM man i hope you love all your customers that much:tongueflap::banana::clap::devil1::devil1:
hotrod98 07-31-2008, 10:51 PM Mike, Looks like I'm going to need that set of louvers and a set of those new wheels that Mike M. is having built. I have a whole new plan for that other 71 Cuda sitting in the front shop. :grin:
abodyjoe 08-01-2008, 11:24 AM car is awesome looking until you get to that ugly ass gas tank. bet it looks 100% better with a stock tank. yea i know it was set up to go 500 miles but its just ugly and ruins the good looks of the car.

Might have looked better if it had been painted black. My understanding is that he didn't want to give up the trunk space that he would have lost by placing the tank in that area. Plus the fact that it would not be good having that much fuel inside the car. I guarantee you that I would have done the same thing.

like i said, i totally understand all that. but it doesn't change the fact that its ugly as hell and in my opinion ruins the looks of the car from that angle. your eyes have no choice but to focus right on that thing.

Hey hotrod, perhaps something like this '70 with the front & rear effects added on?
hotrod98 08-01-2008, 02:22 PM That's a sweet car.
I also have a 70 that we plan to restore using the updated AAR type scheme. AAR hood painted to match, front spoiler, side exhaust, small rear spoiler, 6.1, 5-speed and leather interior. Sort of like sickfish only not quite so sick.
I'm so tired of doing the same old restos for my customers that I'm ready to go on to something wilder. However, I want them to be truly drivable. That sort of leaves out the 24" wheels, 1000+ hp engines, etc. Our superbird clone will have a 5.7 hemi 5-speed auto in it. We may change out the intake system to the 6.1 style for better looks and performance. The Daytona clone will be my last stock driveline type car for me for a while.
DAYCLONA 08-01-2008, 04:16 PM I've just about decided to go back to black. The red just doesn't scream "mean".
I knew it!.....Larry, once you go black,......you can't go back
I know you didn't ask yet?....But I vote Black, with Black interior, and red stripe/ wing.....maybe some magnums with redline tires,.......seeing it a clone?.........red 1970 year 440 engine call outs, on the hood?......maybe?
or......., how about all Black, with body color wing, add 70 style door R/T side scoops, and 70 Charger red upper and lower body pinstripes, redline tires on Magnums, red 440 callouts on hood?.......or.......or......or.....I could go on all day.......like we discussed earlier about Black car care, Larry,.....it sucks,......but O'Man....Black is so "sweet" lookin'..........you check out the post on Moparts.com....."show me your black on black cars"?......one look,...and your "hooked"
Back "N" Black.....Huh Larry?........:yes:
hotrod98 08-01-2008, 08:34 PM Heck, I'm even thinking about black on the other 71 cuda now.
Did I mention that it was 104 here today. Don't lean against the black car unless you want to end up in the burn unit.
charger70 08-02-2008, 02:09 PM Hotrod98
Sombody needs to make this thing a reality.
I think the front on the RTS Cuda would look great.
Maybe more Aero tho, with 63 Stingray type flip up lights.
snapshots came from www.stevenjuliano.com
bigblocksam 08-02-2008, 02:36 PM very cool pics
hotrod98 08-02-2008, 02:54 PM Personally, I think that the 71 cuda grille was the absolute nicest grille ever made. It consists of 21 pieces not including the retainers and screws. It would be sacrilege to not use it. I have mixed emotions about the wing. But, since I have a couple of extra repros lying around, I just might go with the wing.
That cuda funny car reminds me of my 69 Camaro funny car that I owned back in the 70's. It was Dick Harrell's world championship car.
charger70 08-02-2008, 03:10 PM The 71 is my favorite too, so I couldn't use one of those. + too high in value, so a 72-74 would be have to be used.
After seein Musto's Angrier, and then your Cuda rendition it just hit me how cool an Aero nose Supercuda would be.
moparstuart 08-04-2008, 12:31 PM I like the car red larry
black will be so hot too brother just got back from kentucky in a black car 100 degree's wow too hot
hotrod98 08-04-2008, 03:07 PM At this very moment it's 104 in the shade here in western Arkansas. I really need to go out and remove the carb from my Trans Am. My brother wants to drive it to Branson and it's idling a little rough. Anyway, it's just too hot. Even the fan that I have set up is blowing hot air like a heater.
Do you seriously think that anyone in their right mind would drive a non a/c black car with black interior on a day like this? It would be suicide.
I like red too, but it's just so complicated. Makes me wish that I had waited on the resto and then bought Craig's car. I'll make the final final decision when we get back from Branson. Then it's only a month until St. Louis.
moparstuart 08-04-2008, 08:20 PM get it ready for st louis , you need to drive it on the track !!!!!!!
bigblocksam 08-04-2008, 10:18 PM get it ready for st louis , you need to drive iton the track !!!!!!!
