New to forum and Dodge Demon Clone Project

[The "Demau"]

Hey guys, you're probably wondering why my name is "Demau". Well, when my dad was younger he got for his first car an orange with black vinyl top 1971 Dodge demon Slant Six. His nickname for it was The "Demau". My current plan because demons are rare everywhere and even more in Maryland. That i am going to make a dodge demon clone using a plymouth duster and either a parts car demon or dart. I know the main differences are the front clip and the tail lights. But when I go to a junkyard, how do you remove the front clip and what parts in what order. It would be sweet if someone that's made a clone could go into detail about the process of doing it all.

sounds like a great project! look forward to seeing it come together. we love photos i am sure there any many people here that can help you out. if you do some searching on here you should find some people that have done what you are planing of doing.

Here's the simple way to think of it. Unbolt all the body parts from the firewall forward until all that's left are the inner fenders and bare rad support (the items that don't unbolt). Those are all the parts you need

Of course you cannot unbolt the tail panel. A propane torch will remove the solder from the joints. Then get a spot weld cutter and go at it. WD 40 will make your bit last a lot longer.

I imagine you know the Darts from 70-72 use the same front clip. The grilles differ between years.
