After thinking long and hard about the commitment it takes to create a thread on your build and whether or not I had it in me to keep up with the comments and demands of answering questions I sat down and had a few more beers and said what the hell
why not!
So here goes nothing . I bring to you all ~~~PROJECT DD~~~
I know your all thinking this will be littered with pictures of large breasts, dont I wish!
Okay so lets get started. Project DD started as a concept that I have had for several years. The idea of building a pro-touring Demon out of my Street Strip Demon was very a appealing to me since I knew I would get more use out of it since I longer had time to race. So with this new project in mind I started in the fall of 2008 to strip the drag and began the process of parts gathering etc.
During the winter of 2010 I met a fellow FABO member (Mopar Al) who has since became a great buddy and immense help with work on this project . Here is where Project DD really started to take shape.
Winter / Spring 2010 Mopar Al install a mini tub
Winter Spring 2010 I bought one of Mopar Als rotisseries (AWESOME PC)
Summer 2010 I sand blasted the car (well most of the car at least)
Fall 2010/Winter 2011 Took the car back up to Als where he installed new floor pans, a front new rad cross member, custom fabricated frame connectors, patch a crap load of other holes. Prior to sending the car to Als for the winter I set the ride height of the project.
Winter / Spring 2011 Al and I both got fixated on?????? Custom do-it-yourself triangulated 4-link. That in turn led to contacting all of the right folks ordering more parts and Al installing the rear end.
Once again the car came home for the summer where more project plans etc where in the works .
That brings us close to where the car sits right now
So heres the scoop .. Like all projects this is going to be a very slow progressing project, but as progress is made I will make up dates . Till then I will leave everyone with a few details of what is to come:
PROJECT DD
71/72 Customized Demon
Gen 3 Viper Engine SRT 10
TCI 6speed Auto
355 suregrip in triangulated 4 link
Frame connectors
Atlerkation front end
Rear tires: 335/30ZR18 BF Goodrich G-Force T/A KDW 2
Rear rims: Billet Specialties Mag G
Front tires: TBD
Front rims: Billet Specialties Mag G
~~~The rest I will make up as I go . Enjoy the future car **** to come.
