Young Gun 71 Demon Sizler Project

very nice im glad to see someone else in the us is building a gy3 71 sizzler. we need more of these cars restored. heres mine

That is a tough place to start your first restoration. The body is toast, would be best to
find something in better condition. He may get burnt out on the car long before it's done as
well as the expense of doing a driver quality car.

I agree, the body is in rough shape and its definitely gonna take a while to restore and some money!

However, my 70 Duster I purchased at age 12 as a father/son project was just as bad if not worse, and it wasnt nearly as cool as a curious yella sizzler!

Just keep him going on the Demon, keep pushing him and in the end, he'll never forget any of it. Its something the two of you can share and always will have between the two of you. Everytime I want to sell my Duster, the sentimental value keeps me from doing it -- took 7 long years of working as hard on the car and as many jobs as i could to restore my Duster, but my dad pushed me through it all and in the end, I couldn't be happier, to say we did it.

Good luck and please keep posting the pictures! I LOVE GY3 A-bodies!!

awesome!! nice to see them starting out young!!

i too like the gy3 demons

has anyone noticed the yellow they are putting on the little smart cars? looks alot like gy3!!

Very cool! I love seeing young guys into this. Keep him going and tell him that were all very supportive of his project. I did the same thing with a 71 charger started at 17 and still not finished! Good luck and keep us posted!

yeah, it's too bad it's in such a state. i got mine at 16, sometimes wish i would have started a full-resto then, but i'm glad i just got it running well to drive it and now slowly getting a resto-mod going. but, he doesn't have that problem being 12 - should be lots of fun!

Really all that the body needs is new quarters. the floors got sandblasted this weekend they look great.

I kept going back to look at the pics to see what some thought was so bad? Looks like a pretty good starting point to me Marty....do you use your shop compressor to blast with, or a pull behind construction type? The floor pans look good

I agree, floors look pretty good in the pics.

Yes he used the shop compresser.

Hey all this is a update on my 71 demon project as some may know my dad Marty passed away before this car got done (2012) when he died i had stopped working on it for awhile now i got back to working on it i am 17 now and a senior in high school since i've been working on it i have done a lot to it i have got the underneath all painted new gas tank rear end fuel lines brake lines bushings front end rebuild kit on wheels and tires all bodywork done and now it is ready for paint i haven't forgot about it i'm gonna be painting it back the original color GY3 ill post pics later

Great to see you continuing on.

Condolences for the loss of your dad. He would be proud to see that you are back at it.
