Attachment 37683 Attachment 37684 Attachment 37685 Before the Modification (last year, used it as a Daily Driver from 2007 - 2011. 610hp in N/A form with a Manually Shifted 727 was a fun daily driver) Attachment 37686 Attachment 37687 Attachment 37688 Attachment 37689 My '71 540 Hemi Dodge Demon project car. Attachment 37690 Attachment 37691 Attachment 37692 (replacement rear rails and the springs relocated 3" inboard on each side) http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/8549/sany0177.jpg I have 6 other A-Bodies that I didn't mention (a '65 Formula S 'Cuda, a '71 Duster, '72 Demon, 2 '73 Dart Sports, and a '74 Scamp) My '74 Duster is pretty "fugly" at the moment, I'm halfway through turning the car into a '71 340 Clone and then I have to roll it into the paint booth to finish it up before dropping the freshly built Blown R3 340 in. |

Lovin the muscle car and the mullet!!! Ya gotta love the true craftsmanship that truly went into those classics!! Dont you miss when it was all made by hand? When people took pride in their work? By the way here is a pic of the judge I mentioned in the original post.
http://image.highperformancepontiac....udge+front.jpg By the way, what caused the back axle of that vette pic look bent? But ya, I love those old Dodge demon bodies! Here is a pic of one I really like: http://memimage.cardomain.com/ride_i...0003_large.jpg |
I don't have a digital picture of it, that is a picture of a picture. I think the glass in the frame distorted the picture and make the axle look bent, it's not though.

I knew that was a pic of a pic, but I did not consider a light glare. Sweet ride though!! It is amazing how much of an attachment old rides can grow. Anyone else?

I've had 2...
70 Dart Swinger, and a 71 Mustang. Wish I still had the Dart. My all time favorite(dream car): 69 Challenger....Hemi Orange, Naturally. :yeah: http://www.auto-facts.org/images/69-...t-21425539.jpg |
My dream cars are :
1970 T/A 340 6-Pack Convertible 4-Speed Challenger (any color) 1971 340 4-Speed Dodge Demon (preferably a GSS to replace the car I no longer have) and a 1979 Plymouth Fire-Arrow with a Twin Turbo 340 / 4-Speed swapped in. :scare2: The Arrow would be suicide, like strapping a jet engine to a roller skate. IIRC they weighed in at about 1,400 pounds (with a 4-banger/5-speed/RWD) Add a Twin Turbo 340 / 4-Speed & 8.75" Rear and it might weigh 1,800 with full interior and every option. Sub-1,400 if the car was gutted :scare2: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MiZ-UqDwf6...ck+Coupe+1.jpg |
:wow::wow::wow: SWEET RIDES!!!! I love just about anything classic car or truck. I was watching tv this morning, and modern marvels was doing the subject of muscle cars, how they came to be, and how they work!!:yeah: Unfortunately though, I had to leave about 20 minutes into it.:dang:
Anyone else got rides to show off? Doesnt have to be a mueseum quality restoration, Daily Drivers and weekend projects welcome too!! |

Since it is a truck oriented site... how about my '48 Dodge the day I towed it home. AND It does have a 12 Valve in it!....12 valve 218cid Flathead 6, that is :tttt:
Attachment 37591 I'd like to drop a 392 Hemi with Dual 4BBL's in that, you know a period correct "resto-mod" Now, If I could find one that was missing the engine & transmission, I'd build a wicked Turbo Diesel 4x4 out of it :rocking: And drive it everywhere :tu: |
The turbo diesel 4x4 idea sounds alot better to me. Plus the fuel mileage on that gasser hemi would kill ya. I personally prefer something that really stands out. EVERYONE is putting hemis into old cars and trucks these days. I notice something on almost ALL motor conversions into old trucks. the filler cap is moved outside the cab. I know it isa safetey thing, but it takes away from the original look. When I was thinking of putting a 2nd gen cummins into a 55 Chevy 2-ton truck, I wanted to redirect the filler neck and cut a hole in the floor of the cab that would then bend about 30 to 45 degrees towards the tank in the frame. That way, you dont have the fuel fumes in the cab, you still retain the location, look, and function of the original filler neck, and still safely put the tank away from the cab. Not much point to that, just thought I would mention.
Wouldnt this be a good donor truck for you?? http://images.craigslist.org/5Ke5Ha5...67333d188a.jpg The body is in the grave, but it would make a good donor truck for something like that. I would definately put a turbo diesel in it!! Just my 02 cents though. Anyone else? |

(Not this new bastion that Chrysler has labeled "hemi." ) I say drop the Hemi in it. :tu: |
Everyone has their own opinion. I just like it because most cummins go into 70s stuff forward. whether its a hemi or a diesel, post a lot of pics

It's one of those "Sunny Sunday" trucks, I'm also considering leaving it stockish (with the Flathead) and throwing a vintage 1940's Centrifugal Supercharger on it. Simply because nobody builds up a Flathead anymore
The truck actually only has 48,000 original miles on it, was last driven in 1977 and was a 1-family "farm truck" before I bought it. A factory 4-Speed on the Floor truck. It's the curse of buying a nice original vehicle, it hurts to modify them (which is why I prefer to find neglected engineless vehicles when I want to modify a classic) I constantly keep an eye out (when funds allow it) for another 1930's / 1940's Dodge Truck that's been beat and neglected that I wouldn't feel bad about modifying. If I find one, I'd set a Wrecker/Towtruck Bed on it, convert it to a Turbo Diesel 4x4 and drive it around (after repainting it and apply the logo & phone number for my shop to the doors). It'd be a sweet rig to have fun with and promote the family business/garage at the same time. That was probably the first time it had been started in over 30 years :scare2: That was the same day I brought it home, managed to find a 6 Volt Battery collecting dust on the shelves in the garage, and with the help of a vintage 6v/12v battery charger/booster my dad & I were able to get it fired up. I also tried to get spark plugs for it, and when I gave my friend the part number (he owns/operates the local Federated Auto Parts) he searched for a while and then called me back and laughed. "That part number you got off those spark plugs.... Is over 50 years old!" So I had him order in a set of Autolite Platinum plugs for it instead (that took a bunch of cross referencing and a few days before we finally found a set) |
48k???!!!:scare2::scare2::scare2::scare2: I agree, I dont feel comfortable breaking up an old classic unless its motor or tranny is shot. Yeah, no one ever builds up a flathead anymore. Keep it up man!!

Anyone else???:hellox:
