Hey guys! I finally got around to making a Daytona build video, this shows what I have done to the car so far and is part 1 of many to completely restore this car. Let me know if you have any questions about the build! The car started as a 69 charger that had been sitting since the 80s. Overall it was in decent shape with a few rust spots and hail damage. Initially I started to restore it to factory specs with a 383 but then after digging into the rear window rust repair and stumbling on a rear patch panel my plans changed and I decided to build a dream car of mine which I normally could not afford. So far I have been able to find a rear wing and have done most of the rear window filler modification but have a ton more work to go! I'll keep you posted with progress photos and videos!

You are making great progress on your Daytona clone. I have two of them in the works myself. Check out my Daytona stock car thread in the Daytona/Superbird section.

Nice. Old blue eyes must be crooning in the background singing " I did it my way".
