The "at liberty" I was going to take was a white vinyl top as opposed to a black one it originally came with. With original white interior, it's almost a sin to put a black top on such a color combination.





Amen to that. Looking at that car and the current "fade", white is pretty much the ONLY choice for that top!

Been working on the heater box today... Made some progress.. Here's the front with the stamp I had made that duplicates the original part number.. Think it came out pretty good......... I'm waiting on the back fan impeler to dry and then I'll have the back together and finished...

PS: Anyone know of a source for the rubber hose between the heater core body and the fan blower motor? Mine could use replacement. It's usable, but would prefer a better one....

RT specialties has the hose I think. Looking good! Did you restamp your HB cover, or is it original? If so, where did you get the stamp?

Nope, I did it myself.. I repainted the front cover and had a stamp made her locally. All of $15. The added detail has a much greater impact.

Well, she's gone and thus, closes this chapter in my Mopar-life.... I traded it for this.

If the new owner sends you some pics of the Charger when it's done...post them here. I'd like to see it completed.

That was quick! I just don't know what to say! I'm assuming the Daytona is a 440 car? Got some more info for us???

At least it's still a Charger! Too bad it's not a 68...

The Daytona is an all-original sheetmetal 440 console auto high performance axle package (4:10 Dana) car.

CONGRATS on the Daytona, its beautiful! I wish you could have kept the Hemi car though since I have so much trouble seeing any of them go. Did you sell the 500 as well? Again congrats and enjoy that Daytona you deserve it.
