6.1 Hemi into 72 Demon March 2018
So this weekend I finally finished all the metal prep for painting. There is just no sense in posting 900 pix of the fire wall and tunnel! It is tedious and slow work. Once done with welding and slashing I had to once again reattach the K frame so I could make a roller out of it for the painter. I simply cannot say enough good things about the form and fitment on my HDK front end. As a welder I can be super critical at times of pre manufactured parts. I have no idea who they use to do the heliarc work but it is someone quite handy! So I started rehanging all the front end parts. Made quite a bit of progress. I did not use the provided bolts and nuts in the kit as I will save them for final assembly. I know there are many schools of thought on lock nuts but I simply will not reuse them if it is a mission critical piece. I consider the front end key to my safety and as a result will not reuse locknuts on it. Maybe I have been racing to long, front end issues are disatereous! This next weekend is the big national Mopar show in Minneapolis so won't get anything done!
