Power Surge's Coupe #692 Gen3 build...

[Power Surge]

Guess it's a good time to start up a build thread for my Daytona. The car is ordered, and I've got a completion date of late August. It was originally sooner, but I requested pushing it back a month so I can work on getting the garage ready.

My plan for the car is a nice, vintage looking, fun street driver. Will visually be like one of the original cars. Guardsman blue with Wimbleton white stripes. Vintage looking interior. Pin drive wheels. Planning a nice high revving 289 or 302 with Webers.

Here is how I've done the initial order. Naturally I can change it up from now till when they call to go over the final specs.

- Gen 3 Complete Coupe Kit
- Powder coated chassis
- SBF motor mounts
- FFR 302 headers and stainless side exhaust
- Manual clutch cable
- 3 link rear setup
- Moser complete built 3 link 8.8, narrow width
- Power steering rack
- Black Coupe GPS upgrade gauges
- Black vinyl roadster seats
- 11" front brake setup
- 11.65" rear complete brake setup
- Standard wood steering wheel
- Coupe A/C option
- Coupe black carpet kit
- Coupe side window kit
- Front sway bar upgrade

I am not sure if I should get the body cut out option. I would like to hear from people if they felt FFR does a good job or should I do my own cut outs.

Additional/upgraded parts so far are as follows:

- SBF with TFS 170 heads, 10:1 comp, Webers. Should be about 400-450 hp.
- Tremec TKX trans setup
- TFS fuel filter setup on rear of frame
- Extra a/c dash vents
- Snakebite trunk compartment
- Backup camera/rear view mirror
- Pro-m fuel pump hanger
- Boig coolant tubes
- Digital Guard Dawg RFIK system
- Door poppers (maybe)
- Breeze fuel tank vent kit
- Breeze fan shroud
- Howe Racing upper ball joints
- Vintage Wheels pin drive FIA wheels. Using the Gen3 front wheels, and Gen1/2 rear wheels with the narrowed Moser rear for a more "tucked" rear look


These are some of the ideas I've got based on member build posts here and feedback on the Facebook pages. I was considering the turn signal column as well, but several coupe owners said a switch on the dash works just fine (and looks more vintage).

Any feedback or additional suggestions are welcome!
