Daryl Romain Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Started this build in 1985, when it was a new kit. It was to be my entry in a club pro street buildoff, and everybody quit. Mpc Dodge Daytona. It went back in the box, and has been there until last week. I think the chassis came from a Dyno Don Pinto, but I can't remember. Ongoing plans include working on the stance a bit, swapping the Lenco for a Torqueflite, and deciding on an obnoxiously loud multi color paint scheme. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larman Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Looks like it held up pretty well for 37 years! Nice job! The Daytona body looks good as a Pro Street car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang1989 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I really like where you're going with this one Daryl. I've still got my Snap-Tite Pro Streeted out Daytona that I threw together as a kid. Now ya gotta keep in mind.... I was around 14 or so when I built this. LOL. I really outta dig this one back out and do this up right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daryl Romain Posted August 13, 2022 Author Share Posted August 13, 2022 (edited) Thank you, and yours looks darn good, especially for a 14 year olds' work. Sometimes, but rarely do I rebuild kits. As a senior citizen, an unchanged build from days gone by provides a look into where my head was at the time of the build. I do refresh and repair old builds, but try not to to change the flavor.

ea0863 Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 I never thought of the Dodge Daytona as a prospect for pro street, but it's a good look! Looking forward to seeing the refresh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
