Well, looking at Bram's model, why would you _want_ one? :)
Hm. The 'Charger Daytona' would be reasonably simple to change. The nose
would be 33 1/3 degree slant pieces (top and bottom-type) mounted fore of
of where the grille is now. The rear window would be replaced with
a 33 1/3 degree slanted version, which could be the interesting part--
I don't know if clear ones of those exist. The wing would be fairly
straightforward.
The back glass is the questionable part. I suppose you could just build
a "clone" Daytona like anything you'll see at a car show-- most people
don't realize the real Daytonas had a different rear window, anyhow.
For anyone attempting it, the car was very much similar to the standard
Charger, but the rear window was flush with the C-pillars instead of the
recessed "tunnel" rear glass seen on a standard Charger.

| Bram, it looks great! One of my favorite cars from my childhood. Now, when are you going to build the "NASCAR" version, with the pointy nose and huge rear wing? James Wilson (...) (24 years ago, 1-Mar-01, to lugnet.build)
