2002p51 Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 If you will allow me a little Throwback Thursday. Since I've been in a sort of MoPar mood lately I thought I'd break out this Dodge Demon that I built a number of years ago. The body is an original MPC item from back when it was new. I had originally built it as a Pro Stock Demon some time in the late '70s so the first job was to remove the hood scoop and fill the hole. The entire chassis and interior was from the newer AMT '71 Duster 340 kit. I was actually amazed that, considering these parts were molded by two different companies at different times, it all fit together surprisingly well.The graphic decals and all the tags and labels under the hood came from "The Last Detail". The color is a correct yellow shade (forgot the name) that I got from MCW. Anyway, I hope I didn't break any rules by posting an older model here rather than something I just finished, but I thought some of you might enjoy seeing it.
Greg K Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 looks good Drew. nice detail under the hood. love Mopars of all types.
Foxer Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 That looks really good! ,, and old models are welcome when we haven't seen them

426-Hemi Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 NIICE! I'm jealous this is one Mopar I don't have...... VERY NICE work tho!
2002p51 Posted October 30, 2015 Author Posted October 30, 2015 A 340 Demon in GY4... what's not to love?Very nice!I assume that "GY4" is the paint code for that shade of yellow. What's it called?
StevenGuthmiller Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 I assume that "GY4" is the paint code for that shade of yellow. What's it called? According to paint charts I've seen, the code for this bright yellow was "Y-1", also known as "Top Banana". The only other yellow in '72 was a pale yellow, "Y-2", called "Yellow". Steve
DumpyDan Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 Great looking Demon, didn't even know that this was a kit. I am so jealous.
slusher Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 Sweet Mopar Drew. I post an old one sometimes also...

Y4 is a gold colour... don't know what I was thinking of.
StevenGuthmiller Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 Yup, my mistake. Top Banana it is. What an awesome name for a colour! Y4 is a gold colour... don't know what I was thinking of. I love those Mopar "High Impact" color names! Dodge had "Sublime", "Go-Mango", & of course, "Plum Crazy". Plymouth used names like "Vitamin C" & "Lemon Twist", & the purple was "In Violet". I read something once where Chrysler had toyed with the name "Statutory Grape" for the purple, but as you could guess, better judgement prevailed. Steve
1972coronet Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 Super nice Demon 340 !The two preeminent yellow colours offered by Dodge in 1971 were :FY1 Top Banana (Plymouth called the same colour "Lemon Twist")GY3 Citron Yella (Plymouth called the same colour "Curious Yellow")
bogger44 Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 Ohh yeah that is a sweet Demon, really sharp work Drew.
Jeremy Jon Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 Super clean build Drew, looks great, bravo!!
