I needed something that’s going to go a little smooth for me with this Freightliner build looming in the background so I’ve decided to take on another “Demon II” project. I’ll be taking the original gasser idea and slamming it to the ground for more of a Pro Street look. Paint scheme will be the original Street Demons theme with the flames on the sides.
Here we go:
Cool! Will be watching.
BTW - do you have a demon?
Thanks keavdog.
The actual car? No. But I thought it fit the whole Street Demons theme fairly well.
Should be cool. Got the street machine version in the works myself. I challenge you to another stock build of something Joe lol.
Stock? That means I have to stay in some sort of guidelines…and I don’t like no stinkin‘ guidlines.
Thanks Lee!
Thats interesting
Very cool subject Joe. I hope this goes as smooth as you wish.
Looks fun …and fun to watch.
Wow! I’m a sucker for '41 Willys! Radical super-charged gassers, I couldn’t get enough! First choice for a hot rod build. I need to calm down-----OK, watching for sure! [8-|]

I have built more of these than I can count. Always a good choice to break the “boring” barrier.
I will be observing… from over there… by the Donut’s …
MUnch…mufph…domuts…munmph. AHHH----burp—sorry; 
littletimmy’s donuts Are good.
OH, and the Willys will be a, Fine Scale Model (see what I did there?)[:D]
to help you with your other “demons” (OK I’ll stop now)
Love Gassers. Wanted to move up to them after running Stock for a couple of years but couldn’t afford it. Our recent move to our new home has brought us only a mile or two from Maple Grove Raceway. They’ve had a few events since we moved here and we can hear the burnouts. Think I’ll be spending a little time over there.
Looking forward to your build.

Lol. It’s a challenge! I may try to turn it into a stock version myself.
Thanks everybody for the comments. I’ve started on this one some and will post pictures when I get some substantial progress behind me.
This kit comes with a blown 426 Hemi but I don’t like that nasty scoop coming up out of the hood. My aim is to fill in the hole in the hood and to change the induction up on the engine a bit. Gonna go with a Ramcharger 426 instead:
I love that model. It is a fun build.
Thanks Johnny. I am having some fun with it so far.
Just to let everybody know…I am still working on this one. I’ve got the chassis mostly finished up except for the brake rotors up front and the exhaust system. I’ve also gotta tweak the toe in setting on the front end to keep the excessive toe in look from happening on the front wheels when fully assembled.
I narrowed the rear axle to get the wider tires underneath the rear fenders and lowered the front suspension a good 1/8" to make it an even drop all the way around.
I did acquire the only PE piece made for this kit which will help the front end out ALOT. Sorry Revell…that’s good for OOB but it aint gonna cut it on this build.
I’m currently working on the engine which will take me a bit because of the detail I want to throw at this beast. I’ll be robbing a lot of the parts except for the base engine block and transmission (which I’ll leave OOB) from the Revell Hemi Dart kit. I was going to post some engine progress pics as well but the Spaz Stix clear doesn’t work well with Model Master acrylic paint. Turned it white in the crevices so I’ll be shooting another thin coat of orange on the block and re-coating the clear with Tamiya clear like I usually do the next time around. Learning curve complete. [;)]
Ah, the project is looking good! You may be influencing me to try one. Mine would have to have a big roots type supercharger. Does your kit have that option? Or, any ideas?
Max
Thanks Max. Actually yes it does have a supercharger but I just can’t go that big horn sticking up out of the hood. I wanted to go the max with a normally aspirated engine that I could and this specific engine is one helluva known powerhouse.
Is this what you are thinking about?
