Wing car fan

[hotrod98]

We've needed a good site for the wing car lovers out there on the net. While the roadrunner site would tend to lean toward the Superbirds, the other wingcar people should feel free to join us in discussions concerning all aspects of the wing car world. I hope to see a lot of the other wing car cloners out there that either already own or are planning to build a re-creation of the outrageous cars we call "wingcars".
I'll start by showing a few pics of our current project, a daytona clone, as well as a few pics of our future project, my wife's Superbird clone.

This is the 70 Satellite that we purchased to use to build the Superbird. We've recently bought a better nosecone, fender scoops and various other parts from Dayclona. We also bought an original superbird wing. This car will be limelight with black leather buckets, rallye wheels, 5.7 hemi with a 5-speed automatic. It will also have the 70 bulge style coronet R/T hood. I'll start a resto thread when we get started on the build. should be a fun car.

So start one.

Edit: That brief comment came accross in rather curt fashion and was not my intent. I meant to state that if there really was a need for a website specific to the aero-warrirors then perhaps you should investigate the creation of one. Hopefully this clarifies my earlier comment. It wasn't intended to be a brush-off.

Looks like we just did.

No offense taken. I've always thought that a site just for Superbirds and Superbird clones would be limited in traffic, but when combined with their sibling, the Roadrunner, it could see quite a bit of activity. They just go together.

Are those front floors covered in fiberglass? I did that to one of my 71 Cudas about ten years ago and they're still solid today. No one has a clue that I did it. I saved a ton of time and money doing that. When done right, you can't tell and it actually looks better than welding in floor panels.
I fiberglassed one area on the floor of the 69 runner that I have on the rotisserie now. It's solid as a rock. When I undercoat it you'll never be able to tell. Heck, I could just paint the bottom of the car and you wouldn't be able to tell.

that would be some cob job fiberglassing that floor....do it right ...cut it out and replace it the right way.....that floor looked like swiss cheese

I fibreglassed a floor in a 63 Dodge "beater" that I had years ago. The rubber mat had destroyed the floor even though the rest of the car didn't look too bad. There was only a couple small holes, the floor was just paper thin. Back then you couldnt get the repop sheet metal and the alternative was fabricating a floor from sheet metal, something that I didn't have the time for and honestly the 4-door 330 Dodge wasn't worth the effort.

I did two layers of chopped mat over what was left and I gotta tell ya... it turned out a lot better and stronger then I thought it would. The car was a lot quieter to drive when it was all done. I put a JC Whitney carpet set that someone had given me over it and no one ever knew once the smell from the resin went away, :lmao:

I wouldn't fix my Roadrunner that way.. its not what I would call a "resto" type repair... but it does work.
