Stealth Dodge Daytona

[dust collectors]

Started this one a while back and am hoping to get back to it once I wrap up my D-50. I'm trying to fit the chassis, motor and running gear of a Dodge Stealth under a Dodge Daytona and also lay It out as low as possible. So far I shortened and narrowed the chassis from the Stealth and removed some of the Daytona floor as well as gutted the Dayton engine bay. Originally I was going to run the Steelies looking wheels since they were 4 lug like the Daytona but the Stealth being 5 lug I decided on the five stars. Added bonus, they resemble the aftermarket wheels that came with the kit. Thanks for looking.

Looks rather Intimidating sitting like that ??

Just for the record, Daytona's were four lug till 85 when they went to 5 lugs. So, don't sweat the 5 lug wheels.

Right on, so it'd work either way. But since I'm using the Stealth running gear the 5 lug is needed

I really like this, having owned both. A mix of the 2 is crazy. Are you doing the twin turbo?

Aha!  I will be watching this build. ?

That's the plan! Might source some bigger turbos depending on space under the hood.

Had a little mishap with an old can of spray paint leaking all it's propellant all over my shelves and workbench. It ate up a decent amount of parts and projects but luckily it spared most of this project. Some of the Stealth running gear and engine parts were smoked and the chrome finish on the wheels was ruined so I gave them a proper simple green bath to remove the remaining chrome. I kind of like the way they look so there's a good chance they'll be painted white as well as the body, still undecided.

Made a little progress on the rear of the frame, deleted the gas tank and lowered the rear. Still need to sort out the rest of the rear and redo the front.

Nice build!
