1971 Demon - My First Mopar Build

-
Thanks again very much for the reply. I REALLY want to run this same wheel setup on my demon so it looks like that's what I'll have to do also as I can only get the 18" rears in +6 offset. This sucks cause I despise aluminum wheel spacers.
 
My pleasure! I don't care for the spacers myself but that is how the car came set up when I bought it. I'm not much of a cheap skate but am of the school of thought that if it's not broken, don't fix it.

Couldn't agree more and thanks again for helpin me get the look I'm after
 
Here are a few more pics of my attempt at body work. All I have left are the Hood, rear deck lid, and the front valance as far as body work goes. Then I'll be able to start painting!!! Yippee!!! I still have some small pieces I'll do as I prep for reassembly. Should begin painting next weekend if this week goes well.

Some but never as much as I'd like. 8) I finished painting it and am waiting for warmer weather to finish the Dynamat and start putting it back together.

Thanks for checking, I appreciate it!

As a lover of 71 Demons I really appreciate that you are doing the body right. It looks like you started with a very good base with the rear end and also front end. You have a good K frame (reinforced holes), disk front brakes and sway bar, caltracs.

This is gonna be a very sweet car when you are done!
 
Thanks for all the positive comments. I really appreciate them! I talked to a buddy of mine that is a master mechanic and he is going to help me get it back together and most importantly- done correctly. I'm trading him a gun and reloading stuff in trade. Gotta love rednecks and Texas!
 
Wow your Demon's looking really sweet!!! Can't wait to see the finished product.
 
Thanks J! Me either!!! LOL Shouldn't be too terribly long now, here in South Texas we usually get a warming trend in the next 2-3 weeks and I can get back on it.
 
Does the car have frame connectors yet? There are gooder ways to put them in and your ride certainly deserves the best. It's gonna be a nice one for sure!

I don't have frame connectors. I have Cal Tracs and am not sure what benefit frame connectors would give me over those. Less frame twist?

Thanks for the input!
 
Very Nice!!!!!!! I sooooo want a 71 Demon. Always been a favorite of mine.
