Good Evening!!
Thanks all for the kind words!
I originally was going to BB a 73 Swinger I found for $200 a couple of years ago but I never could grow to like the pointed front end. So when the Demon came available I figured I'd buy it for the front sheetmetal but changed my mind when I considered how much more rear tire a Demon could accommodate.
My wife and I agreed that the total budget for this would be no more than 6K. So I spend a lot of time looking for things on the "cheap" (I know, it's a oxymoron) Therefore, I've been picking up needed parts over the last couple of years.
