Daytona Coupe... 3.0
Yep, working on another one. Just when you guys thought i was sitting here loving my full size cobra. I have just made a fairly large investment to build my dream 1/4 scale daytona coupe.... So far this is a teaser, but should have pics in the next week or so. LOL.

Re: Daytona Coupe... 3.0
Just got a progress photo texted to me. Still a ton to do, but it is taking shape. Hopefully it will be done by the time our full size coupe gets here!

Re: Daytona Coupe... 3.0
i have a conley for it with just one carb. But i would really love to score a weber style intake for it...
Its nice to see the dream finally come together some. Its taken some time, but it will get there.

Re: Daytona Coupe... 3.0
the multi carb set is easy take the intake manifold off send it to john foster pick eight little carbs out, one plate for the eight carbs and one plate to bolt it to the intake manifold after its been modified a bit voila! from experience its a pain to tune but the look is worth it, build the aluminum box around it that seals it to the hood and ya done ! DO IT! DO IT!
