My Stuff Finally Gets A Turn

[StainlessDeal 16]

With the season winding down, my new garage (which until recently was somebody else's old garage) got a floorcleaning. My old hotrod also benefitted, as it is unfit to travel even the short distance required to allow for a proper cleaning, note the cedar "parking brakes" deployed.:rolleyes2 Kind of a Before, during, and after. Sorry about the different camera positions and the tilt, this is still a learning thing.:)

Looks Mopar. Lets see, is that hugger orange? If it were my dream car it's a hemi Cuda. Headlights look like early 70's. (after all this watch it be a 1984 Camaro LOL) what is it? Charger, Challenger? Other?

Did the floor with some purple stuff the Mother in Law was kind enough to supply.(She loves to help) Mostly metasilicate and sodium hydroxide, used a 24" SteelEagle and my Tuff 4GPM moneymaker on wheels.:) These are all befores:

Hang on there, the suspense shouldn't kill, or even maim you.:) Let me try some afters. Oh, nd water was about 175*, air about 45*, lotsa steam.

Thats a 71 Dodge Demon, balanced and blue-printed (in 88) 318. Some go-fast stuff, a real, honest, Beautiful Polluter! It has sat in storage for ten years, and is getting torn open this winter. Thus the cleaning. It got a blast of Glimmer from Sunbrite,with Rowlett's wet-wax and foamer added. The floors only got cleaned because I had the odd chems sitting around, and wanted to use and see. Here are some better Pics of the Demon.:) Unfortunately, I didn't know that you can't post the same file in two threads, so you have to look in the testing section, to see the better pics. If I get the chance, I'll doctor some more and put them here.

The color is actualy GO MANGO. But I always called it GO MAN GO!

Cool Dodge man!

One could only really fantasize it to be a hemi cuda. Even one in rough shape can command $50k +.

My first car was a 69 Nova SS. A factory 396 car that had not been treated particularly well. Every penny I made from 10 to almost 18 went into that ride, and brother she was F A S T ! The problem was there was this guy around with a small-block Dodge Demon kickin' hiney all over town.

Fast forward about five years, and I'm working with that guy in a lumberyard. My Nova was stolen, stripped, and burned three days before I turned 18, and now I'm 23 and earning nearly 20 grand a year. I'm a rich man with nothing fun to drive, and my pal needs money to get married.

I love this car, but I haven't loved it lately, so this is going to get the love I was about to lavish on a 68 Triumph chopper. I figure I should fix what I have before I set up a new mess in the shop.

Thanks for the compliments, and Tony, my dad insists that Go Mango was called Competition Orange over at Plymouth. (He was driving a 68 440 GTX when I was born) The demon might get a new crate hemi next year, the 318 in her was never meant to run this long, but it might take a few washes before I have that kinda loot to spill.:lgsad:

Well I'm not sure what Plymouth called that color, but Dodge really made it famous, as GO MANGO.

Since your hunk of Detroit iron is a Dodge, we'll call it Go Mango!

Demons are so rare anymore. Alot of them went crash and burn because of the power of the hemis. You have got a keeper. A real rare find anymore.

There is a guy in Dallas Tx. (gawd I miss the lone star state) that has a lime green 67 charger that he pulls a lime green trailer with a lime green super bird

( super big 3.5 ft spoiler in back) with hemi to alot of the collector shows around Big D and beyond. It is a site to see. Valued at over 150k for the setup. IMHO the super bird was the greatest high performance street legal car ever made. I hope to someday have as a project. I have always loved GM, but the super bird takes the cake. I have also always loved the AMC Javelin with the 360 big block and dual carbs stock. About 400 hp. What a ride. Plus the Gremlin is a great ride to lose your virginity in ( oops sorry I have said too much). You have a real keeper. Keep us posted on the restore project.
