I’m glad your still building this, as it’s a really cool project. I love what you’ve done so far, and I can’t wait to see it finished!

Nice work,I plan on doing something similar with the reissue Demon ,as the Herb McCandless car,already got the decals
I’m hoping you post your progress on the forum, I’d love to see your work! In my research for the BTK Demon, I found a lot of information on the McCandless car, the restored car has coil over rear suspension and the original had leaf springs, depending on the version your trying to replicate. The video on you tube about this car is really interesting. It was a very dominant car in 72. Someone needs to cast or print a 72 Grille for this kit!

That’s just beautiful DA. I too, like to make as accurate build as possible and you’ve done a great job with this one!

What a find, I love the 72 Dusters, everything from the recently reissued Dart Sport kit will fit this kit, it should save you a lot of work!

Merry Christmas Terry, God bless you and your family!

As the others have said this is a very well built Pro-stock. Did the sub-frame connectors come with the kit or did you install them yourself?
I made them from Evergreen .100 x .100 square polystyrene from the hobby shop, item #175. I cut the floor pan just shy of the square width and finish sand for the final fit so I don’t have to use filler.

Superb work on the pan Roger floor! I read the long discussion about the Demon's rear suspension from back in the day and I think the mystery around it is cool and leaves a lot of room for interpretation. It's your project and your choice will be the right one.
I chose to use leaf springs with CalTracs on mine just to create a sort of OEM look with a touch of "Motown Missile" since it had these ladder bars added on it, it's just cool and It will be a great challenge to make something new.
Thank you Francis, I’ve never scratch built coil overs before, so it may get revised again. I’ve been looking through my stash of kits and parts looking for something that will work, but haven’t found what I need as yet.
It. was quite a mixture of ideas back then, and really what made it such an exciting time in the sport. Lots of innovation.-

Interesting build, I'm following this.
Here is a picture I found of Billy's car, I don't know the year tho', but it had coilovers
And here is the Sox & Martin Don Hardy built 72 Duster wich replaced the 72 Duster they built in shop after it was crashed.
Thanks for the info Hakan, by 1973 and into 1974 tube chassis and coil overs were used by everyone
