71 Demon Nothing Alot of Money and Time Won't Fix
Well I finally took the plunge and have pulled the Demon into the shop to begin work (fun) on the front end and engine. I couldn't start the project until I took the before pictures. So the pictures have been taken and now I'm waiting for the energy to get started.
As you can see the ball joints are shot, the motor mounts have allowed an exhaust leak by allowing the castle nut to hit the exhaust. Everything looks good topside of the engine...the bottom is another story there has to be at least 38 years of grease, transmission and power steering fluid that would'nt hold the Dodge blue engine paint. Well that's the fun part... cleaning, painting and looking back on a completed job with satisfaction.
I've read many of the posts on here and if I read correctly I might as well pull the K frame with the engine and transmission. That is on the agenda first thing in the morning.
I appreciate the folks on FABO as I have learned alot in the little time that I've been on here. I've met flyboy1 and dusty1 recently and if they are representative of the other folks on here our hobby is in good hands. Thanks again. I'll keep you updated on the progress!
