Fender Tag Questions...
Thanks for the ****. Looks like a great start:) I wonder if you can strip the purple paint off and save the original paint:-k
Thanks!!
Sadly, there's no saving the original paint. When the Demon was repainted, it was completely dissassembled. He scuffed it up(what was still good), sandblasted the rough areas and filled the rust damaged areas with dynaglass.
The car had a rough earlier life. When I first knew about the car, around 87-88, it was sitting under a Pecan tree in a guys front yard. It had been used for "Saturday night bar bragging rights" races. The owner was complaining about it not being in alignment and wearing tires on the front, so he quit driving it. As it turned out, it had been raced one too many times after a "night out", put into a ditch and the K-frame was busted.
The hood was damaged with the industrial sandblaster that he used and the right fender was bent up pretty bad and rusty. He replaced the hood and right fender with pieces from a 72 Dart(that was gold). He added the front bumper guards and fender top turn signals from the same car. The front K-frame was also replaced with the one from the Dart, so my car does not have the front sway bar or the the original K-frame with the "washer" that was welded on.:(
I know who the guy is that wound up with the warped hood, I've just got to track him down and see if he still has it or if it's been turned into a toaster already. The other pieces are long gone...
About 3 years after he finished the Demon, and I had bought it the 1st time, he bought a mig welder and told me "Boy, I wish I would have had this thing when I did the Demon. It would have
really turned out nice then."
So, I know the history of the car as far back as the late 70's. I know all of it's details since I purchased it the first time around 1990.
And on a side note, I'm 8 months older than my Demon.:-D
