Re: so me and stelseltizm have been working on making a demo car
My first demo car a few years ago ran better than my daily so I threw it on the road for a month before the demo.
Once the doors got too bashed up to open properly we just started running ---- over with the front bumper. Good stupid times
I still need some ---- if anyone in the area wants to help out. Mainly a plastic battery box, a small metal boat gas tank, and some 3/8 chain to hold ---- together. I only need it until Saturday then I'll give it back, all but the chain should survive no problem.

Re: so me and stelseltizm have been working on making a demo car
It took me awhile to figure what you meant by "demo" car. A fried has an 80 somethin' model Lincoln Town car. It is basically just the undercarriage and drivetrain of the car. It has NO body panels whatsoever. Big brush guards welded up front and back, two WOODEN bench seats, and a 302 windsor. It was built by a cop, my buddy calls it a dune buggy. I need to get some pics. It is one of the most insane things ever to be seen on a public highway...One day of the year when the town allows you to drive ANYTHING on the public roads.

Re: so me and stelseltizm have been working on making a demo car
demo as in demolition derby. You rip out/off all the trim, lights, glass, door handles, interior minus seat. move the battery and fuel tank inside. chain all your doors, hood, trunk, bumpers. And ram into a dozen other cars that have done the same.
Good time if I can get the ****** finished. Getting home from work at 10pm when I live 20 minutes from the field the car gets worked in has been kicking my ***. Demo is this saturday.
It is so ghetto it is amazing. I managed to get the rad in and filled with water and run a piece of wire to the carb. then twisted some wires together for the old school hotwire and drove the thing up and down the gravel road. That 4 barrel deffinately makes the tiny engine much less suck.
All this is being done in an abandoned field that hasn't been mowed in 4-8 years. I just ditched the car there when I lost the lot it was being stored in, you can see the weeds tramped down to get to the car and start working on it. I keep getting critters crawling out of ---- once the sun goes down.
