I love the Demon build. Did you use the AMT Duster chassis and interior to complete this?

Some side stripes would really wake it up IMO, even without any scoops or wing. The EL5 Butterscotch is definitely a refreshing choice of color as well.

One thing I would like to point out about that Bandit body for anyone building one in the future (and please don't take this as criticism to your work, it certainly isn't meant to be) is that the front wheel opening is incorrectly shaped for a Demon. Maybe this is something Bandit could look into changing? You can easily get the correct opening from the 68-69 Darts as well.

It looks like they used a Duster body as the master. Demons and Dart Sports had more of a swooping line to them and did not drop straight down as this body does. You can see in the following pic what I am referring too, and its even the same color as your build!

Actually, it was MPC that used the Duster as the master for the Demon. Bandit's and any other resin Demons are merely repops of the original.

Thanks for the complements,I wish I could get thoses stripes in the photo of the real car,That is the look I was going for in the build,Actually that photo was what inspired me to build it this way,Thats how mmine is going to look,I used the 71 MPC Demon parts I had from the junk ebay by,So everything aside from the Bandit Resin kit is the original MPC Parts,Now to correct the "Duster"Front wheel wells,The next one I build,I'm going to cut those out of the 76 AMT Dart body,And blend them into the demon body,That will correct the problem,That Blue one I posted in this Thread,Was what was usable from the junk body,I split the front fenders on both bodys,and cut out both taillight panels,The superglued the demon parts to the Dart body,Bondod it,and worked it to get it right,So that 72 has the correct wheel wells on it
