Looking at a 71' Demon

they sell hoods here: http://www.usbody.com/

your problem will be getting quarters welded in. most body shops will not touch that kind of work... if you cannot do it, find a friend that can, or you will have to get very lucky to find a place that will. they cost $$$$ too.

i would only offer $1500 max. it's gonna cost you 3g to get it on the road probably. engine + trans. you may be able to find a cheap 318 or 360 + trans. but still, when they are dismantled it's a big project.

I have a 400 that I want to stroke as well as a 727TF 4 speed that I got with a 440 if that will work. I was thinking of going in with a $1500 offer like you said. One bonus is that I am a welder of 13 years although I haven't welded much on cars I used to build truck service bodies and they are fabricated out of pretty thin sheetmetal 12-18 gauge. I have a mig welder setup with gas and .030 wire. That should suffice. Like you said the panels are $$$ though. Thanks for the responses.
