1969 Bobby Allison Daytona Charger

[jjsipes]

Started with a Revell ProModeler 1969 Daytona Charger kit. Some plastic tubing for rollcage and "K" member, PPP wheels and tires, Tamiya spray paints, Powerslide Decals and alot of work. Some things I would do alittle differently bit, overall happy with the results. I have included some pictures with my stock Daytona Charger for comparison.  This is Bobby's 1979 Daytona 500 car that he finished 3rd on I believe.

Wonderful fabulous build sir. Impeccable detailing and finishing. The 1/1 came in third but the 1/25 is a winner!

p.s. I love the hood...?

Bobby's car looks fantastic as does the factory version.  Not that I'm an expert on Bobby (tho was a big fan of all the Bobby and Davey) but I did not know he drove a winged car.

Great work Jason.

Awesome build, Jason. Super clean build, paint and attention to detail. Sits perfectly too. That gold is really impressive.

Killer work Jason!?

[Dave Van]

Nice  neat clean work!!

[TooOld]

Beautiful work Jason , those colors are gorgeous together !  I can appreciate that you'd do some things different but we're all our own worst critics , it really turned out great .

I don't know what I could say that hasn't already been said. Great build ??

Sweet looking Charger! Excellent work with the decals.

The blue Charger is nice too.

Beautiful replica of Bobby's Dodge. You nailed the look. The gold on the decals has the proper reflectivity, which is a nice touch. The comparison with the road car shows just how radical these 'stock' cars were. Nicely done.

[Street Rod]

This is a great looking Charger, ready for the track! Love those wing cars.

I used the chassis from the Revell Daytona Charger kit with modifications for the front suspension. See the attached build thread.

Two thumbs up!!

I've said it before, this is one of the best models of a NASCAR Dodge Daytona I've seen and I really enjoyed the buildup back when you did it Jason.
I just noticed one thing I did not see before...I see you used the Dana 60 rear end on your build, the NASCAR Mopar's had the 8 3/4 inch rear end even on the Hemi cars with manual trans, it's lighter and it's easier and a lot faster to swap gears in than the Dana so that's why they used it.
To swap gears in the Dana you have to do it in the axle itself through the rear cover and that takes a lot of time, the 8 3/4 inch you can have different 3rd members/gear carriers with different gear ratios ready to go and you just pull out the drive shafts and swap the complete 3rd member as it's bolted to the front of the axle.

One of the sharpest tall wingers of all. You did a great job on it!

[ChrisR]

Looks great!

[WillyBilly]

Superb builds for sure. 

[satterwhite78]

Wheww! Mopar's guided missle with that stance! Just hated for the tires with all that downforce the wing is applying...
