A few months ago I picked up a 64 Daytona hardtop and some one in the past had installed a vinyl roof cover and over the years it got moisture under it, when I removed it I found a number of rust out holes at each corner and even above the front and rear windows. to make repairs we needed to remove the windshield and rear window, here are a few pictures of the finish product the work was done by my body man that does all my sheet metal work rust is always cut out and new welded in and worked out to a finished primed work of art he will be doing pieces that I will and can bring to South Bend in May if I come, but since my ad in TW has not drawn much response I might not be making the trip unless requests pick up.

Bob,
You are such a tease! You know this group loves pictures and while that car looks like it will be a sweet ride once again, you know a couple of keyboards are being ruined by drool from those wanting the see the before and in-between pics.
The light is kinda weak but I'm guessing that the original colour is Desert Rose?
Cheers,
Ken

Hi Bob, I have a near clone to this Bermuda Brown beauty, except mine has tan cloth inserts, Powershift tranny, factory air conditioning and lots of rust! Is this a running and driving car? If not, my car is ready to give it a mechanical transplant.sigpic

I'm presently in the process of the stripping and parting 2 '64 Datona HTs, both roofs are still in excellent condition so will be salvaged and stashed. I had another but unfortunately had to scrap it due to moving.
I've dissassembled 3 '64 HTs over the last decade and have never sold anything, so I have a lot of '64 spares, plus the NOS and the best used items available (some now made out of 'unobtainium') gathered over decades of attending the SB Spring Meet and shopping at SASCO.
I need to hang onto enough to finish my '64, but really don't wish to leave this barn full of rare '64 Daytona parts for my family to have to dispose of for pennies a pound as scrap metal if or when I croak. Need to free up the space to work in too.
Don't care to screw around on e-bay just selling off the cream, and there would still be way too much left and wasted.

Call it what you want but even out here in California if you don't cover the repair area it will start to rust, as for pictures before I have some here somewhere, as for pictures taken while work being done hard to do as he is retired and works when he feels like it so I am not over there while work is going on, don't have to as I know his work he has been doing it all his work life and he is 68 now.Candbstudebakers

The color is brown as is the interior car need full restore, it it had not been a Daytona we might have just parted it out for the goodies and not spent the time or money fixing the roof, here are a few more pictures of the car.
