72 Demon on BaT... Not mine.

This is my car on BaT and I told John Collins I wasn’t going to comment but the one inference that actually bugs me is the driving with both feet to keep the engine going comment. I drive all my automatic trans cars that way because that’s how I learned to drive from my father who is disabled and he drove that way because he had too. He can’t drive anymore. The engine runs, drives and even idles just fine.
I’ll go through the rest:
-no marker lights - 2 reasons, I’m not a fan of the 72 and up markers and the AMD quarter patches aren’t punched for them. It was an easy decision.
-painted bumpers - Personal preference really and consider this, it takes more work to straighten and paint them than it does to bolt on brand new ones.
-Flipper be cautious - I built it to sell so yes I am flipping it. Be cautious and do your homework on any used car. I have hundreds of hours into it. Doesn’t make it a bad car.
-What was used in the color change? Color is the same as original but used Limco base and USC clear (body filler where needed and a couple rounds of urethane primer of course) Been using the same products for years.
-what body repairs were done - as noted on BaT, lower quarters, floor patch, trunk work from hitch damage, shaved markers, tail panel replaced. It was wearing nice non original fenders when I bought it.
-Engine mods - noted on BaT. Not rebuilt, stock low miles internals.
-Exhaust tips - you got me there...next time I’ll go stock.
-What’s under the paint - the original paint which was not flaking or peeling or crazing. It appeared very stable. The front fenders were spray bombed by the previous owner so that stuff was sanded off.
-short cuts like no squirters and black dash cluster - The pics were taken before I had installed the squirters and I’m guilty of not installing the hoses yet. In the same “shortcut” comment the dash being blacked out, this is another personal preference. I have hours into getting rid of the horrible fake brown wood but yet keeping the underlying woodgrain.
I build cars how I like them. If others like them great! If not, that’s okay too. It’s a really nice Demon but not perfect.
I think I covered it all, hope that helps.
Thanks for the positive comments!
