    1971 Demon - My First Mopar Build

    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!

    1971 Demon - My First Mopar Build

    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.

    1971 Demon - My First Mopar Build

    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!

    1971 Demon - My First Mopar Build

    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!

    Most informative ad Ever!

    Let's see.... It's in Arizona so if they would list it as a one owner, one of one, and a barn find then it would be worth $100K right? Seems to me that if all the correct buzz words are in the ad the car automatically becomes priceless. ;)

    1971 Demon - My First Mopar Build

    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...

    1971 Demon - My First Mopar Build

    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.

    1971 Demon - My First Mopar Build

    I believe you are correct because there is only about 3/4" of clearance when the tires are mounted.

    1971 Demon - My First Mopar Build

    Thanks! The serpentine set up is from March Performance. Total was $2,400 which included all the polished components- water pump, alternator, compressor, and remote reservoir PS pump.

    The fronts are 4" and the backs are 5 1/2". The kid I bought it from also put some spacers of some type on the rear hubs.

    Paint Gun Recommendations for a semi-pro

    In my opinion it depends on how many cars you are going to be painting. Amortized over 3 or 4 cars or more the price of the high end guns isn't much. Also depends on what you can afford. To me the higher end guns not only perform better but are easier to use as well. I'm not a pro by any...

    Paint Gun Recommendations for a semi-pro

    gtmopar- I have a couple of the older Devilbiss guns as well. I have the Starting Line and the Finish Line. For years they were all I used. For some reason I am getting much better results form the LPH400. I'm sure personal preference, what you are used to, tip size, how poorly I used to...

    Paint Gun Recommendations for a semi-pro

    I recently bought the Iwata LPH400 with the Platinum 1.3 tip. Have used it for both base and clear coats and love it. You have to spray much closer to the piece being painted but the results or phenomenal. No need to cut and buff anymore. Just FYI- the paint supply store I use is also a...

    Cost of a single-color paint job?

    I think he was asking about a single color, not single stage. One of the best custom shops in my area is also a paint supplier. They only use and sale Matrix. I'm an amateur but have shot just about all the brands and have been very pleased with this line. Since I am going all black I...

    1971 Demon - My First Mopar Build

    LOL! Great idea! Not sure if any of my friends are competent to sand after the primer is on. I'd be worried that too much pizza and beer and they would obliterate the body lines. HaHa

    1971 Demon - My First Mopar Build

    Thanks Chris! I'm really having a good time with this. I just wish there were some other guys closer to help out. Makes it much more enjoyable when you can fellowship with like minded folks. Plus it goes a whole lot faster when there are more people helping.

    1971 Demon - My First Mopar Build

    Not off hand but I will measure them first chance I get. I'm guessing I measure from the back of the hub to the outside edge of the rim?

    Birth of the Blue Missile

    Fantastic creativity! How much will you charge me to help install my Vintage Air system? LOL

    Yes. I even saw on Amazon a MIG attachment for doing just that.

    1971 Demon - My First Mopar Build

    Slowly but surely! I've been working on the passenger side since it is by far the worse. Took me a lot longer than I thought to get it somewhat straight. Finally got it to where I wanted it and got two coats of high build on for now. Going to go around the rest of the car and fix the rest of...

    Perfect for a daily driver!

    Good catch! The negatives have been on vehicles sold. Unless I was local I don't think I would gamble on it.

    [FOR SALE] On Ebay 1971 Dodge Dart Swinger

    If the price is 8K or less is that really that bad of a deal? I've recently seen a Demon roller with no engine or tranny in much worse shape going for $5,500 on this site. I search the net everyday for good projects and this one seems decent except for paint. Could use paint and some engine...

    Anyone done Under Dash A/C ?

    I guess you really need to come check out my build now! I'm putting a Vintage Air Gen II in my 71 Demon. I've used this in two other vehicles and did not have any problems. This one will be easier since I have the windshield and dash out of the vehicle. Lots of working room!

    [WANTED] Seat Latch Knobs & Hinge Covers

    I am needing to obtain the latch knobs and hinge covers for a front split bench seat. Came out of a 1971 Swinger but I will take anything that fits. Thanks!

    POLL-Paint or undercoat?

    I did some research on the different brands of "sound mat" and went with Megamat. It's a butyl product of the same composition as DynaMat's top of the line. It's just as thick but costs considerably less. Just FYI

    any luck with dash pad covers, or recovering

    My 71 Demon had a cover when I purchased it and it just wasn't nice enough. I looked at the places that recover pads and they were pretty high. I ended up just purchasing a new pad. Wasn't that expensive and it looks correct. I don't have the car back together yet but have fitted it to the...

    1971 Demon - My First Mopar Build

    Thanks for the input MoparDemon and CudaChris67! I had wondered about the warping so I guess I'm stuck with filler and blocking. There could be worse issues for sure. :)

    1971 Demon - My First Mopar Build

    Wow! Nice work! I'm not sure what I'm going to do in the areas that the body line crease is pretty much smooth. I really don't want to use filler and then block sand the line in. I'd rather build up the area with my MIG and then grind it down to where it needs to be. I'm worried about using...
