A while ago I posted a question on a project as to costs and if I shot myself in the foot or not. The consensus was yes. Well I took it on anyhow. A little history on why. First my grandfather was a clay modeler at Creative Industries through out the 60. He did the mock up for the first gen Charger and the Daytona. Oddly the majority of pictures I have of him working there are when they did a full scale for the Queen of England's new limo. Back then that was the great honor and big deal job at the time. So there is a tie in there personally as I was real close to him and to do a car that he helped create and was there when it was built means something to me. Second the owner was introduced to me by a very close mutual friend who was lost 4 years ago and I feel the need to do this on that account. So before you all call me nuts for taking this on refer to the aforementioned. Without further ado some pictures.

Now, can anybody tell me how in the blazes I can just directly insert a photo from Photobucket w/o having yo do the link thing? The originals are large so I put them in my PB account to resize them.

Just open your pic in photobucket, then right click on the pic.click properties, then highlight the whole address and right click it and copy it. Then come to your post here and hit reply in your thread and add whatever description you want of the pic.I then hit enter a few times to get a few spaces between the text and the pic I'm about to add.To add the pic type [img]right click/paste address here,then type [/img] No spaces between anything. Then scroll down and hit continue and your pic should be in the post reply. Takes some getting used to, but you'll get the hang of it. Good luck, and thanks for sharing a great project.

Wow!!! I like seeing them like that.
You guys probably remember this one.
Showed up to but a ramcharger and this was in the backyard.
This must be one of the four you know of Dave.
Believe this was the flood one of something to that extent.
Can wait to watch this post, great car.
Actually, Tom P's old Daytona isn't the flood car. It is often confused as such though. He sold it a few years ago and it is now in Australia getting restored. There is a long post on it over on the Charger website.
