Daytona body on 427 chassis

[Dominik]

The chassis is now 90", seems I thought a bit late about the Daytona shape?
Let me do a bit more research... And consider a longer chassis for the next project.

How much is the one to fit the 90" chassis? Is it doable, I am reading "add 3in" front and rear?

I have 2 coupe bodys, a 90" wheelbase and the 93" wheelbase, they are similar, but different, the extra 3" on the longer one wasn't just stuck in, the cockpit is a little larger, the flip front end is a little longer. Everthing was done proportional , there are pictures floating around the forum of the 93' wheelbase body, but I can't locate them, you'll have to dig around a bit.

Ok, let me get more parts from the drivetrain, position all (also suspension) and I will pm you how I intend to proceed. That will take a while. Those parts are not widely available in South Africa.

Maybe I come across a Fiat 8V Supersonic body to copy the Willment Ghia Cobra? (Rather unlikely..)

i got an original style 427 frame in storage, give me a month or so to get some other work out of the way, and i'll drop a 90" wheelbase body on it so you can see how everything fits

Mr. Bruce, I would definately be interested in the 90" wheelbase Daytona body on a 427 chassis. How close to origional shape/ dimension is the 90" body? Thanks Phil

how close?, check out the pictures in the link, you be the judge.
