    Larry…if you’re referring to the redhill two tone brown car, I think it is chevette or pinto in the front. We ran each other for several years at a fall car show in Michigan. Haven’t seen him for a number of years now and never traded phone numbers or email, don’t know if he is still in the area or has the car.  I remember it being unusual with…[Read more]

    Wind avoidance solution….spend about half an hour or so attaching the top to the windshield…position top bows…try stretching the the rear to the snaps without tearing the material (since it hasn’t been up in years)…zip and snap all of the side curtain pieces into place…unzip and unsnap the area around the drivers door since you’re still…[Read more]

    Yeah, I guess we were a bit late, but better late than never…what a pair! Nice to know these cars weren’t originally created in some board room meeting, but by real people. So what do we investigate next…..

  • Hi fareoh…here’s a pic of a similar solution to “my grill shell’s not chrome” problem…mine is a very early Daytona MIGI…couple other pics in forum photo gallery under mindseyeblind. We’ve been discussing history, etc of these cars in general discussion forum, Daytona MIGI, of course!  Feel free to give us some other owner input…

    If anyone tries that site I don’t think there is a space between 29 & 66. Think it should be 2966

    A sad note to pass on…Rich got me curious again to the origins of my car, since even on the TD replica history page the Daytona MIGI is listed as the original MGTD replica…if it truly was the first, then in a sense the “mother” of all of our cars has gone….LaVerne J. Martincic passed away on Dec.7, 2008.  I don’t know how to make a link,…[Read more]

    Purple and Paul! Hello again!  I found some of my info easily, working on the rest….I think I can scan most everything, but it may have a red stripe through it!  Just a couple things for now….it wasn’t Daytona Products, (the memory is going!) it was Daytona Automotive Fiberglass, Inc. 852-910 Carswell Ave. Holly Hill, FL 32017.  LaVerne was th…[Read more]

    Hi purple!  It looks to me that you have one of the original cars/kits that were made by Daytona Products out of Florida…Laverne was one of the owners….pretty sure they actually created the MiGi….I think Fibrefab bought them out…I have one that was first completed and registered in 1976….yep, 33 years ago!!! I have alot of the original…[Read more]
