'71 Supercharged Hemi Demon

Eh, getting hurt is part of the experience of working on old stuff. The irony is, i got hurt working on the Demon, and when they gave me the Wrist Band/ID Band at the ER.. My ID Number was 666 :finga: To make matters worse, the car is also named Lucille (Devil's Daughter..hehehe), anybody getting goosebumps? :D

The subframe is nasty, that's for sure. Wherever you grab it or tap on it, a hole pops up. The passenger side rail isn't quite as bad as i was expecting, it's a far cry better than the driver's side rail (only a few holes up in the wheelwell area). Underneath the car/floor though it's still pretty bad though.

It's ok though, I have a set of rails ready to go in the car. The only piece of frame that will remain untouched, original is a short stubby section at the front where the bumper mounts bolt on :D It's about the only piece of frame that's solid, so it'll get sleeved/capped with the new rail (after cutting off the bad frame section behind it). I just have to finish welding in the reinforcement plates and "nuts" that the K-Frame bolts go through and finish the Control Arm tabs/mounts before i can start installing the new rail on the driver's side.

Once the Front Subframe is done, then i get to move on to the Torsion Bar Crossmember/Transmission Crossmember, Have the materials for that too.

When i'm done with the front rails, I'll let you guys know what they were originally designed for/removed from (and you probably wouldn't believe it). Until then, it's a surprise :D

Basically there's no original metal left underneath the car, or at least there won't be when i'm done.
