    Thank you very much. You are a life saver. The Demon is next in line for me and they were critical to the build. Let me know if you need anything in return.

    Your work is impeccable. I am definitely following.

    Another test fitting with new engine/ headers, it’s going to be a tight fit. I had to keep filing away at k frame on left side for header to fit( can’t dent header like the real ones). Again, I was not happy with the way the grille looked. I have devised a new plan, opened it up and start over. Wish me luck, as I have not found anyone that will make one.

    What an improvement over the AMT engine, this VCG piece is so much nicer. The kit included Thermoquad is really sweet too. I finished and painted motor mounts, set to height and installed. Engine and trans are pretty much done except for the headers.

    Some more progress, vinyl roof treatment done, car is cleared. I foiled all the trim, but the only BMF I had was the garbage ultra bright. I pulled all of it off, ordered more from BMF. The AMT 340 from the Duster kit just didn’t do it for me, so I got a 340 from VCG and one of their Torqueflites. I made custom motor mounts out of .020 styrene, it all fits so much better than the AMT parts!

    Finally got clear laid down, pretty nice shine for lacquer with no sanding/ polish yet. Now I am on to the engine again. The belt layout in the kit is totally wrong. I am adapting the belts, etc. from the LT1 vette, as they have proper position. I am also working on the smog tubes and dipstick. I will post when they are done.

    I agree on the turn signals, I will definitely need to do some file work. I am not sure if I am going to use this body or not, as Round2 kit is supposed to be here this month( maybe). The too flat hood does not bother me, as my car had lightweight lift off hood that was flatter than stock hood. This body does have the 72 markers on it already though.

    The Bandit one has the repair for the fender opening that mine does not. Also, the bumper and grille on mine are one unit. I did not get a floor pan or decals with mine either. Looking at the roof area on the inside, it looks like someone took an annual apart and molded it from that( signs of glue tracks in original mold)

    I purchased this kit years ago on Feebay to reproduce my old Demon street/ strip car. I don’t remember where it came from. Any ideas, and what problems people had with them? I have ordered 2 of the Round2 kits already, but they are 71 Demons. I do intend on making trunk open, so that nitrous bottle and cage can be seen. The paint will be a ton of fun, as the orange is candy with hidden highlights. I also have to find a proper looking snorkel scoop somewhere and Fiero seats.

    Cool build, almost bought a 67 R code back in early 80’s for a few hundred( blown up 427)

    What, no adjustment screws?? Absolutely incredible! The real cars never had that kind of quality. Keep the great work coming so we can keep drooling.

    Outstanding! I’ve seriously been drooling over the Muira. I do plan on getting one, have 4 large scales to get done now.

    Great work

    This one will take a while. I always wanted to build this.
