63 Daytona

Someone asked about the Daytona I'm building for a driver - here it is.

It's the last one I'll build for a while, and this one I'll keep. I may add AC to it at some point, but it's built to be dependable, comfortable and solid.

It's probably sacrilegious, but I never liked the trim on these cars so I deleted it. Same with the Stude lettering on the trunk, but I'll probably put the Studebaker script from a 53 back there just so people know what they're following.

I'll take some good pictures after it's finished and I get the shop dust washed off it.

I'm with you on the '63 side trim.
'62 I like, '63 not.

Might want to re-tighten that upper radiator hose.

Really, though- it's a beauty. They always look good in white.

I never really thought about what these cars would look like without the side trim. I like it. You can really see the earlier lark heritage. Sweet ride.

Nothing custom fit about a 64-66 dash in a 63 I put one in my 63 standard back in 1990 just a lot nicer than the 63 dash and by all means better than one put in a standard.. and sure do like the standard styling when it comes to exterior trim none, nothing, zellish,
