Hey Joe, I got a few pics for you from the Lone Star show yesterday that might help you out with some details.

 

[jodaddy1]

Yo GoMo thanks for the pics but remember I'm not staying true the original daytona, staying true to clone or kind of.



Well even though I'm selling I've told all prospective buyers the nose will be done so.............

Got a little hammer and dolly work to do on the side but sides and bottom finished.
