Picked up my new project over the weekend. new link - 06/10/13 11:58 PM

Took a couple of vacation days this past weekend for a little road trip. Left the house at 7:40AM and arrived in Cincinnati at 9:30PM. I went after this. https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/upload2/7691250-DaytonaFS.jpg
I already have a complete 90 model that is was going to build a car out of. This puts me years ahead of schedule.

I want to thank Doug Cook for his willingness to work with me to make this a reality. Hope to have it going by late fall or spring of 2014. Jim

Wow! Keep us tuned in on the progress - and a little engine / drive train info would be nice.

John, the drive train will either be my current 416 W2 and 727 or a SB W9. Depending on whether I sell my Dart rolling or T/K. I would kind of prefer to sell it rolling. But I have all the big pieces for the W9 already. This new car is so lite I'm pretty sure the old W2 motor would put it solidly in the 9's. Jim
