Minitubs for my Demon

[1972_Demon]

I'm in the middle of doing the minitub job on my car. The first side was a learning experience and I went slow. Now I know what to expect and the second side is going much faster.

Here is my progress so far. Spring relocation is next on the list.

Nice job well done

Loving my new plasma cutter.

I completed the other minitub. Now onto the spring relocation and fuel cell.

Now all you have to do is get tires that make all that work worth it.

Nobody seems interested, but I'll update anyway in case somebody wants to see.

Spring relocation done and new metalwork for fuel cell is welded in.

I really like how you put that fuel cell in there! Looks good!

 

[crackedback]

Looks good.

I think you need a shield plate to protect any exposed section of your fuel cell hanging out the bottom.

 

[Darren]

Nice work. I like those stands also

 

[72RR Rick]

Looks great, is that the car tools kit? Like your fuel cell box.

The minitubs and spring relocation are both from US Car Tool.

Looks good. Very nice work. I like those tubs, and the fuel cell piece. The spring locators also look much better than the Mopar parts.

Nice work - looking good!

 

[vitamindart]

looks good! who's relocation boxes are those? I like the flange to bolt them in.
I would still fully weld them myself. but great way to locate them.

 

[fez440]

looking good. thanks for sharing

 

[PPRCuda]

Thanks! This is what I'm doing later this year. Keep up good work and post some pics!

How are these :evil4:

I wasn't quite done with the fuel cell in the earlier picture. It now has the last metal piece added under the rear sump. Fuel pump, filters and lines for the fuel injection get done in a few days. Then I can swap the intake out for the EFI stuff.

Hoping to have this up and running for Mopars @ Etown in about a month. It won't have the new heads and cam, but I'll still be racing it if is ready.

 

[crackedback]

Heck yeah, that works!!!

 

[1972_Demon]

Got most of this done now. Put some bedliner coating in today to finish it off.






On to the fuel injection now.

 

[mopowers]

Nice build. What bedliner did you end up going with? Roll on or spray?

 

[1972_Demon]

It's a roll on coating.

I have this spring kit and will be installing it soon. How did you measure for the frame rail cuts? I'm curious.

Thanks,
Keith

 

[tarvin890]

great work!

 

[1972_Demon]

I placed the opposite side box against the inside frame rail to get an idea where to cut and marked it. I used my plasma cutter to make the cuts about 1/4" away from the marks I made. Then used an angle grinder to take a little away at a time until they were able to bolt in. Once they were located like that I welded them in.

Awesome work! any pics of the car on the ground side shot wise? I have a 72 Demon as well. Still has stock springs with air shocks. Bought it back in March. So still piecing together my plan of attack.

What fuel cell and pump is that?
