Memory Friday

I got rid of that car. After my wreck in 2010 a friend took on the job of fixing it and had the body 90% roughed in and did a beautiful job. It still needed some lexan replaced and painted. Then I got the bug around 2015 to do some heads up racing and went to North Carolina to buy my blue heads up duster. A buddy wanted my Daytona real bad and I knew at that point I would never finish it so we traded cars. His green duster for my Daytona. We both kept our engines and transmissions. I was going to build a 440-1 Indy headed mega block 512 for it and had everything to do it. Plan was to have it for a spare car for my son and I but he moved so I sold the car to a guy in Ohio (he loves it) and the engine stuff to a guy down south.
