Project Blackbird reaches its fourth installment. This final chapter of the build thread documents the Daytona Coupe as it enters the late stages of assembly - the point where hundreds of individual decisions converge into a finished machine.
Late-Stage Assembly
By Part Four, the car has moved through chassis fabrication, body fitment, and systems integration. What remains is the work that brings everything together: final component installation, finishing details, and the kind of careful, methodical assembly that separates a completed build from an assembled one. This is where the Speedmaster components that power the Blackbird find their final positions.
Four Parts, One Standard
Across all four parts of this build thread, the approach has been consistent: deliberate work, no shortcuts, and a commitment to precision at every stage. The Daytona Coupe is a vehicle that does not forgive poor execution - its lines, its proportions, and its performance expectations demand that every component and every joint meets a high standard. Project Blackbird was built to meet that standard.
The Full Series
This concludes the Project Blackbird build thread. From the first bare-chassis images in Part One through to the near-complete vehicle captured here, the series documents what it takes to build a car of this caliber. For ongoing updates and future builds, follow The Hangar.
