Im sure everyone out there sometimes just sits around and thinks of a possible build if money was not a problem, notice I didnt say money was no object. I want a car I can drive almost every day, take to the track, weather its straight line or twists and turns. You know something you can really really enjoy as often as you wanted to. So Im sitting here thinking what A body would I do and why? Well for me it would have to be the nicest A body ever built, 71 Demon. Now I know some may not agree and thats cool, its my thoughts and build. So how would I do it? Well for me it would have to have the same stance it does now but maybe, just maybe and inch or two lower. I think 18's would be the biggest tire I would want, now I know 20's or so would be a better handling car but I think they look somewhat out of place on the older cars and for me that wouldnt work. I have to say the body and the lines work so well for me that I dont think I would do anything like sectioning the bumpers, flush mounting the glass, drip rail removal all those types of things. Notice I said I dont think I would. A lower front chin spoiler and the old Mopar deck lid spoiler would be a must, always liked that look. Whatever color I chose the car would go monotone which I think lends itself very well to the Demon. Ok I now have the looks Im after, so now its on to the mechanicals. While most people will disagree with this, it would have to have a new 6.1 Hemi with the Kenne Bell Supercharger, backed by either a 5spd or 6 spd. The modern technology and power output for this car would be a great fit, FIT being the operative word. Yes I know it may not have the punch in the chest, lumpy cam, heart racing affect an old school small or big block would, but I think with the right choices in cams and exhaust it could come close. Now here is where my brain jumps the left field fence and goes grazing in the pasture awhile. Rear suspension ... Now some may not give this a lot of thought say go mini tubs and a good Dana and call it done but remember Im grazing out here. Lets do an independent rear suspension! Lets keep the mini tubs and make this baby really ride and handle nice. Now some will say, hey didnt you want to run that thing on the drag strip and you still want independent rear suspension? Sure why not, cant I have what I want? Lets say we find a donor new Challenger, Im sure some have been smacked up pretty good by now, and if Im real lucky I got the engine and trans too. Oh hell I get the brakes and some interior stuff too. Or do we go Viper rear suspension? It will surely take any power I can throw at it right? Anyway thats my idea with just touching on the major items and not going into great little details....
