We did find out that the seat has to be moved back....long drives in an A body and being 6' 2" ...makes it really hard on the legs and cramps

6'2"? I'm only 5'11". Those leg cramps must have killed you :D

Demon ran great the whole way home!
 
UPS show up yet?....I dropped it off Sat morning...holiday probably didn't help
 
Really nice 6 page color article on the Demon in the November 2011
Hemmings Muscle Car magazine. One of the best write ups I've seen
and it really tells the story. All of the guilty parties are named!
 
at your local newstand...on the shelf to the right of the ****....you know where that is? ...right?

I bought them at the Hemmings stand at Carlisle. I would think Giant Eagle may be your best bet locally for it. If you can't find it, I'm sure we can get you a copy.

I got home last night and my issue showed up in the mail.
 
And I have an Autograph signing engagement tomorrow at the local donut shop :happy1:

PS...........Mark, I have an issue I will drop off to you. I know you work so hard you can't get any time to go out to the newstand
 
nice job on the magazine spread.....I have not read or seen such a well written piece in a long time...even if I say so myself...

Amazing! This is inspiring me to one day attempt to do a similar car :D

But tell me, you didn't need to weld anything on the wheelhouses and deform the engine compartment to allow the fat elephant inside?

I read somewhere you cannot put a Hemi inside it normaly and a guy that put one Hemi inside his had to change the front of the car, change the wheelhouses and lengthen the front to make it fit, but i don't know if that was correct.

Simply the best conversion i've seen, this is inspiring to try out doing it myself at one point when i can afford :D

Going to buy an 71´Dodge Demon with vinyl roof some day and make it a sleeper and kill BMWs at the stoplight fooling them it's a 318 car :D

Hemi Denny can chime in here because he built the car, but there really is no major modification to the body shell for his hemi conversion. It is completely bolt on.
 
HemiDenny's deal: Flat hood, no cutting, heater and A/C no problem, no bump steer
or steering ackerman problems, manual (any) or automatic (even stock column shifter), as stock looking as you want. Custom exhaust, overdrive, leaf or 4-link rear....you name
it.........Oh........and NO scratches in your pristine paint. The "immaculate conversion".
 
MuscleDodge....don't believe everything you read...

the hard stuff we like to do immediatly....the impossible takes a little longer...

Hi again and thanks for the replies :D

Well it was a car magazine who had made an report about someone who build a car like that, i believe it was a race hemi and i'am not sure if those are physicly bigger than ''normal'' 426 Hemis, but since it was an official car magazine about old americans car i assume now most of what was told would be correct for his car, though i can't tell.

Here's a link to the car http://forum.musclecars.nu/showthread.php?t=2014&page=2

He says he had build the engine compartment to a similar one as the Dart(hemi darts?) has. It's the car with the hood wide open.

But it's nice to hear you can bolt an 426 without major cuttings in the body :)
 
Hey...do you ever bump into my buddy...Swisswill?...he's over your way somewhere
