Nice Daytona mate

Post by xbrit »

Last W/E entered my Challenger in a local car show and Pete arrived with his Daytona replica. He owns a body shop in Kirkland and this is his shops demonstrator that he built to show what his body and paint shop can do.
He also has a replica he has build but not as a daily driver.
It was really impressive, obviously not a stock color, but the fit and finish were just too good to be factory. Personally not sure on the 20" rears.
Cheers

To me it looks all wrong, neither one thing or the other. The guy clearly has talent and a good body shop.

Lovely car but I can see what you mean about the wheels, the difference in size looks a bit odd. Larger rims needed on the front or smaller on the back would even it out a bit but still a cracking motor. :thumbright:

Yeah, the body is lovely, not my personal choice of colour, but its the wheels that kill it. I just don't like big rims on old cars, its the sort of thing Elo would do, and those are just about the worst I've seen. Put a set of Torque Thrusts or period ARE's on it and it would look great imo

I'm in Don's camp on this one, the body is a cracking job, but the cartoon wheels ruin it for me.

But if we all liked exactly the same thing it'd be a boring old world...

Looks great, pity you can't mix tyre size on the same axle as you could have something classic on one side and the current fad on the other.
