Very much appreciated. Bought the car in '83, recently did a 6 year rotisserie resto. Did everything myself except the paint and transmission. I honestly thought I'd never survive.....It was a love/hate relationship :rofl:

I did drill a hole in the tail panel - I made sure to touch up the paint so there's no bare metal and found a perfect sized plastic bushing that stays in place and looks clean. I see some really good ideas on here. Makes me wish I would've made a thread like this before doing mine.

Way to go Boys!!! I don't know how you do it in the heat??? Great Job!

Great Job buddy!! I see you being able to post in the 10 second thread soon!! Best of luck!!

Thanks Turk! Lug nuts are on order along with 2 of the thin wall deep sockets recommended (in case I lose 1) Appreciate the assistance. Wally.

Recommended Lug Nuts

All, Bought a pair of the Jegs wheels pictured for my slicks. Got the slicks mounted, went to put them on the car and realized the lug nut dilemma. I can't use the same lug nuts as the Billet Specialties wheels, I need an Acorn style lug not for the Jegs Wheels. Dummy me - If I would've read...

This is a great thread guys.....So many cool stories!! I bracket raced my Demon from 1983 - 1995. Had some decent success, was track champion in 1988 at Great Lakes - won a $1000 to win Sunday special and some points weekends once in a while. Looking back now (Hard to believe its 40 frickin...

Great looking Duster! I assume you’re pleased with the Hoosier 9x28 radial slick? I just started a thread a few days ago about possibly purchasing the M/T 9x28 Radial slick. I might need to think about these as well? Thanks for the post!

Thanks guys! I appreciate the compliment Dave! Engine is a 360 based 420 cid w/Bullet hyd roller. .573 lift, 249/257@.050 Once it’s sorted out, I’d like to bracket race it a bit more and I’m really leaning towards these slicks. Back when I raced the car in the 80’s & 90’s I had bias slicks and...

Hey All!! The car the tires are going on is my Demon - All steel car w/SS Springs moved inboard to the frame. I'm presently using M/T ET Street "R" - 275/60 - 15's. Best ET is 11.18 with a slow 2-3 shift and a tiny stumble off the line, 60' was 1.48. - that was with a 4.30 gear - was going past...

Oh YAAA!!! Way to go Dave! Just look at that reaction time! Cat Like!!! And 11.07 - Thats awesome! Car is looking great sitting a little lower in the rear and the driver is dead on the Tree! Congrats buddy!

For some reason I didn't see you wrote TA (Tubular Automotive) instead of TTI - I apologize for that! I still have a hard time believing they would fit a Demon and not a Dart??? I hope you're happy with the TTI - I have no complaints as of yet.

Not trying to argue, but I’m wondering why they wouldn’t fit a Dart? Dart wheelbase is 3” longer, wouldn’t think that would affect anything? I have the TTI 1 7/8” - 3 1/2” and when following the instructions, the went in very easy and fit great.

I thought about trying it myself, but if the guy I've known for 40 years that builds 727's can't figure this one out, I thought I'd better take it to a professional. I have an old 727 core in my shed, maybe someday I'll dig into it. I'll keep everyone updated as this has me excited again...

After thinking it over while I was taking stuff off for the removal of the Engine/trans - the more I looked at and cringed about how close everything is, the more thought it wasn't possible...... Decided on just taking out the transmission. Had a good friend come over last night (Who is a full...

It's the slower cousin now with your personal best!! :thumbsup: Well done!

Damn that is a gorgeous Demon!!! I think it looks great - I don't think anything will change as far as traction. Just my 2 cents worth.

Weren't the 002/003 springs recommended for an A-body with a manual transmission in the old DC book? I've used them since 1985 so have just gone along with what I was told worked best.

I'm digging this banter, thank you guys.:popcorn: I'm at 1.48 60' with SS Springs "MP" Long un-adjustable shocks. (11.10 @118) I may start a different thread so I don't take away from this one - I'm thinking of getting adjustable rear shocks.

All brands of course were represented. I’ll just post pics of the Mopars for now.

So many top notch race cars. Highly recommended if you’ve never been.

I'd like to change a few things in the Engine compartment - brake lines, distribution block, wiring - basically to make it a little more sanitary looking. Engine is fine - I'll have my engine builder stop over and pull the valve covers, double check valve adjustment. I've found a shop nearby...

Wow guys this is all really good info! Thank you all so much. I have a 6 quart Kevko pan so it should squeeze by? I’m going to give it a shot and be very careful using a lot of blankets and fender covers. I’ll be sure to update everyone as I go along. And as far as who’s better looking…….I...

All, I'm planning on pulling the Engine/Trans together soon to get trans 100% and update a few things in the Engine compartment. Question is - with the TTI Headers, will they be able to be left in place while I pull the Engine/trans out? Years ago I'm pretty sure I remember pulling them out and...

This news hurts and after reading through all the posts I find myself holding back tears. John touched all of us here whether we met him or not, he was a genuine great human being. I always read his posts - they were always entertaining and informative. I guess I don’t need to tell anyone...

@Demonx2 Thanks Dave!! That's a gorgeous Demon....You know I'm partial to black! Hope you're doing well my friend and were out of the way of the hurricane!

Dave!! I have always lived by the old school way of learning how to make them the proper length. I used 3 1/2" x 18" "Collectors/torque tubes" whatever term is used..... I used a low temp paint and put a single coat on, took 5-6 runs and wherever the paint is burnt off to, cut them off - Mine...

Went to the Mopar Happening in Belvidere IL yesterday, loaded up the Demon Saturday night after a week of cleaning, polishing, detailing and getting in every nook and cranny with my Hello Kitty toothbrush! It was warm and humid, but not unbearable - unloaded the car and parked in the A-Body...

Awesome work Dave!!
