The Daytona: May 18, 2005
by Russ Knize on May.18, 2005, under Daytona
The Daytona’s been under the knife again. The fenders and doors are off. Sanded the doors and the new hood from Dave. Totally stripped the weird peeling/flaking paint off of the fenders, only to find a gallon of bondo on the passenger side. I’m not even going to bother with it. The driver’s side is in good condition, though. I hate body work.

Heard a strange scraping sound as I pulled into the driveway. It was part of the rusted, twisted hulk that was my radiator core support. Time to drive the CSX for a while.
The CSX: May 8, 2005

All put back together and back on the road so that I can put the Daytona down for a while. I cobbled-together a small guage cluster and mounted it under the center console. It has the fual pressure, oil pressure, and the new oil temperature guages. It’s basically a Radio Shack 8″ x 5.5″ x 3″ ABS project case. The guages are angled towards the driver with those Auto Meter inserts. It doesn’t look great, but its servicable.
