R5 going in the Demon ****Update****

Posted By: BobsProFab

R5 going in the Demon ****Update**** - 03/28/10 07:17 PM

the Demon with the Pro Stock motor will be off the hook but with all the money ive spent on parts and the motor completed and dynoed ive decided to put it in the Demon as i planned on instead of the Hemi 99 for now

every thing is made and has been mocked up other than some detail work

so the Demon will see light again this year with the small block

i really think i need to build a car around the Hemi and lighten it alot.

keep on eye out for updates on the 358 going in

Re: Decided the R5 will be going in the Demon - 03/29/10 07:02 AM

As always LOOKS GOOD?!?!

I was wondering what you were thinking?? The Hemi in the Demon. Escpecially if you left it as is.

Like you said better to build a car around that Motor.

At least now I know I'm not alone. As far as someone that changes their mind every other day.

By the way e-mail me about MINE. dakfink@hotmail.com

I am looking at being home Mid-Aug to Mid-Sept!!

Re: Decided the R5 will be going in the Demon - 03/29/10 10:16 PM

the Hemi will need a better chassis and lighter weight than what the Demon is

the R5 will be a good fit to run a few classes with in the Demon as it sits with a lillte work yet to be done

more than likely i will sell the Demon turn Key with the small block and build a new car

Good to hear Bob.... get the car out there and have

few passes I'm sure I can come up with a place for it
and could come up with a converter to fit my BB glide

Re: Decided the R5 will be going in the Demon - 04/27/10 10:00 PM

Bob,

The headers look beautiful!!

Is that ceramic coating? I was thinking of doing that to mine to help hold in the heat and look nice. The flat black high temp charcoal grill paint isn't holding up so well. It looked good for a few months, now starting to burn off

Can't wait to see it at the NATS

give Bill at QC coatings a call 586-566-6315
mine are the polished ceramic
they also have black coating

best price on coating ive found and they will get all my header buissness from now on
Posted By: BobsProFab

Re: Decided the R5 will be going in the Demon - 04/28/10 02:04 AM

thanks again guys !
might need a few hands on a couple sundays wrenching on it
Rick will be coming up to help out on it when i have time to work on it

gathering the parts is the easy part

should be a pretty cool peice when its done

i decide to do a double frame rail with a 4 link that will tag at 25.3 spec

so if the car doesnt sell with the small block i can always put the Hemi in and the car will handle it

Re: Decided the R5 will be going in the Demon - 05/04/10 09:48 PM

waiting on the moly double gusset brackets to show up and then i can finishing the trans crossmember it will bolt in
my offset is 12 inches on the crossmember

car still has the front frame rails/fire wall and the rear frame rails / trunk in it and supports from the rockers down to floor no problems with the car trying to spread out.

I still havent decide to keep the stock rear frame rails in the car or not just for a few classes that it can run in
most only care about the front frame rails and fire wall
Posted By: Plumb Wired

Re: Decided the R5 will be going in the Demon - 05/05/10 11:50 AM

Bob, run your own rails inside of the stock rails if you want to be sneaky about it or run them beside stock rails. Most of the rules say it must have stock rails doesn't say you can't add.

Bob, I have done a few dirt car cages, Do you have a jig to cope those with a drill press, or do you have a cope cutting tool for a mill? I have seen some nice equipment out there, and all I have ever used was a milwaukee mag drill and a carbide hole saw. Worked great for what I did, but your fitment is unmatched, and amazing. Great work.do you tig everything, or do ya mig some of it. On my dirt car cage, I tigged the high stressed areas, and migged the lesser stuff. I also built a cage for a pulling tractor and it was all chrome molley, and was tigged.

You are a great craftsman for sure. I love welding and fabing up junk, If im ever in your area, Im gonna drop inn a resume. I love to work in your shop.

Nice work! If I could do mine all over again, it would be sitting in your shop. Hmmm... I am sure you can R&R a hodge podge of mild steel.

Looks great!
