The owner decided to run the vintage Hemi Orange paint on the LO23! Awesome color choice. It looks metallic in the picture because of the way the light is hitting the curve of the scoop. It is not the newer metallic version. The hood, doors, and trunk lid are all painted with the body soon to...
Hello Zac. The Demon is coming along nicely man! If your rear main seal leaks again, purchase a one piece from fastfish.com. I had my motor out 3 times and finally installed their one piece. No leaks, I mean bone dry after 500 miles of street driving and several passes at the drag strip. I...
