By the looks of that garage they worked out of, the owner doesn't look very broke, unless it was someone else' garage? It is very cool to see a Daytona still with it's original family..after 51 years....hopefully it will get the respect it deserves, and get a full resto sooner than later.

I enjoy the show, but this one was too heavy on the testimonials and tears, too light on the repair work. All they did was replace the brakes and a valve job on the heads, and the interior. The car owner never did anything except watch his kid remove a few screws. I guess he was too broke or lazy to do the minor repairs for 25 years. Also Joe reinstalled the Daytona lower grill with black zipties. You shouldn't start off the show saying it is too valuable to do any custom work on it and then do something half-ass. Full brake system rebuild, full interior refresh, floor patching, engine rebuild, rear end R&R, transmission service. If you want to see more behind the scenes working, here ya go. https://www.flickr.com/photos/hemipwr70/albums/72157716390512021And unveiling day https://www.flickr.com/photos/hemipwr70/albums/72157716441831033By the looks of that garage they worked out of, the owner doesn't look very broke, unless it was someone else' garage?

The owners don't have a nice garage to work out of, so they brought it somewhere else.

They took it down to a short block. The pan was off the transmission, etc...
