[@LegitStreetCars]

I love these videos. Going through the value of the parts and the business side is so interesting.

[@TrojanLube69]

Where is the video of the red cadillac car they picked up!!!! 😂😂😂 nice to see you here.

[@GWrench9]

You have time to watch other videos now that the DeLorean is done?

[@JasonMcCord-qk3yb]

I know! I can’t get enough of it! I buy cars, repair them, then sell them. I wish I had the room/ability to part them out, but rarely do. Sometimes I have to, if the roof or floor is too buckled. I won’t buy them with the intention to part them out, but I just recently had a Jeep wrangler Rubicon 392 that I had to part out. I ended up making a little over 12k in profit, but I was sweating it out for 3 weeks, worrying about it! I had it all figured out to make around 25k in profit once it was repaired, but as soon as it arrived, and I got a good look at the frame, I knew I was screwed. No fixing that one! LOL

[@lldjslim]

No matter how much money scraplifegarage pays for these totalled POS's, it doesn't matter if they are restored and end up back on the road there value will always be WORTHLESS and will always carry the title as SALVAGE so you still lose ScrapLifeGarage

[@TrojanLube69]

@@lldjslim ok, and? You still unemployed and crying too much on a youtube comment section. Sometimes we restore cars not for the value but for the feeling it gives. Something non-car people like you wouldn’t understand.

[@thatsmyrc]

I’d be interested in hearing some of the back stories behind these crashed autos you purchase 😮

[@mryoung0412]

once in a while the driver/owner will find their car on a youtube video and reveal how they came to be totaled, I believe the burnt out demon owner was identified but hasnt commented on SLG's videos

[@jasonparker3316]

​@mryoung0412 what's the dudes name?

[@beeg_carl]

@@jasonparker3316 on some of the original demon videos, they talked about him because he left an Instagram sticker on his car, but they blurred it out which I assume was to make sure the guy doesn't get harassed. They also found illegal drugs in the trunk, so they reported him to the police and gave them the instagram handle. The car was abandoned when it got caught on fire.

Strange to do that…

[@bengone3349]

I love watching you pick a car apart. It does amaze me how much is just snapped together.

[@christopheryou5040]

These cars are assembled in less than a day. Don’t be surprised

[@nickwells20]

I love the color combo. That blue with the white stickers and brushed aluminum wheels works so good.

[@hi_tech_reptiles]

Would those be brushed aluminum or gunmetal? May look good with either honestly, tho white wheels could be cool too. Blue/green with white wheels is always a fun combo, very JDM or Rally esque, tho looks good on a muscle car too as does the gunmetal/aluminum!

[@talltexan4710]

Hellcats are the most wrecked cars now. Thanks for taking over Mustangs spot.

[@scraplifegarage]

This is a factual statement

[@spamanator666]

Standing under a car on a teeny tiny forklift (or any forklift for that matter)? Super smart...

[@Elmospiece]

4900miles and he says there’s no reason the engine should be beat up. I can find a 100 videos that tell me otherwise 😂

[@greengabe5]

My jaw literally dropped when you panned around to the passenger side of the car🤣 I wasn’t ready bro you really gotta warn a brother

[@benjaminmatute9085]

The Daytona hellcat is very underrated. Especially knowing this car is also for track making it more interesting since most dodge cars are straight line kind of cars.

[@derekp7230]

You guys are good at what you do . Killing the game and making great content while doing it .

Amazing the stuff you do keep it up man, love your videos!!!!!

[@markelliott6987]

Great channel, always look forward to the next one👍🏻

[@bruwin]

I'll be honest, I'd probably put that engine in a resto mod 68-70ish B body. Coronet, GTX, Roadrunner, Satellite, and of course a Charger. All great options. I know that's sacrilege to some people, but hey, at least I'd be keeping it mopar.

[@boody9996]

I really just fall in love with your channel keep going

[@outlet6989]

This is one of those rare videos where I couldn't wait to read the comments. But to be fair to myself, I watched the entire video first. Just finished with the comments and I didn't disappoint myself. That engine would have greatly enhanced my highly modified Chrysler 300C. Those brakes would have been the icing on the cake.

[@justinyourdm1738]

Honeslty I find these episodes very interesting. I love seeing destroyed cars broken down some are gambles but those come up with huge profits sometimes. Love the videos keep it up, wish I had the money to try this but I don’t. Have y’all done any 350z or 370z salvage stories or auctions?

[@bigsquatchsasfoot1964]

I’m from the Uk and I’ve been watching you guys for ages great channel 👌. I’d stick that engine in a 1970 MK1 ford fiesta van it would be a flying machine 👍

[@christopherjdm]

At 7:31 that corner light in the trunk is on with no battery 😮

[@yeetisthefetus7214]

Maybe a auxiliary battey?

Great video. It’s amazing to me how the wheels aren’t even scratched. Unless they were put on after lol

Wow it's kind of sad to see a Daytona that destroyed! I am wanting to buy a Mango Daytona but the dealer has such a high markup that it may not happen! If it doesn't happen I will probably buy a Bronco. Great profit margin on the Daytona! I am looking forward to the next video!

[@youtrippn4671]

Great video didn’t know the hellcat Daytona was so rare

It took about ten years of the new age chargers being out for me to finally like them lol. Geez the seat got bent but it looks like the driver walked away from a pretty hard wreck.

[@steelpenguin1]

My pick to drop this engine into would be a 68 Charger, love the round taillights on the 68s. My 2nd choice would be a 71 Cuda.

[@obe_595]

Love the content.

[@SpeedOfLight2K]

There are people who builds custom split wheels from OEM wheels, you could probably sell wheels in a set like this with one that is beat up as long as the spokes are fine. It might not be the big money bringer but if you find someone that works with that, maby you could get some cooperation going that brings in a bit more money at least. Just a thought

[@MichaelD429]

I'd love to do a trans plant in my Manual 2012 RT. I e seen them pretty cheap for a full drivetrain harness and computer

[@malikdigger4544]

Hey Scraplife Garage know u saved alot of good parts from front end smashed new mint Dodge Charger Daytona but think wheels should be aswell & think engine would be perfect for someone gasser hot rod project.

I love you guys videos. I have a question but I don’t know if y’all ever done it have y’all ever hellcats swapped a Challenger or a charger GT all wheel drive and still kept the all-wheel-drive.

[@FatherAsbestos]

I really want to put a hellcat engine in a e36 touring, love the cars they just need a little boost in power. Will swap mine one day

[@Bloodshot_camaroZ28]

Y’all need to take all the wiring out while you are in there you can get dumpster sized bin or something and then save it all up and sell it for copper scrap you don’t think it’s worth it but it all adds up over time and copper can be worth more than steel and that could pay payroll for quite sometime and maybe light bill or rent or even sell the harnesses

[@kennyboyy7656]

i need the rear qtr panels where the widebody goes into place so if u could cut them out i will buy!!

Don't forget you can have the seats deep cleaned and the other inside parts as well.

This reminds me what happened in 1979. I special ordered a Pontiac Trans Am - got the options exactly how I wanted it. With 3700 miles on the odometer a 73 year old man ran a stop sign and I T-boned him at 45mph, what a waste.

[@jaycanfixit]

You asked what we would do with this engine if we had it and I would totally put this in my 1968 Lincoln Continental. I think it would be an awesome Hell Cat Bagger. It would also make for some great content for my channel.

At the 7:30 mark in video , how is the light in trunk working if there is no battery ? Is there another battery or is a light reflecting off of it ?

[@ChevyARt15]

They had a jump pack connected. They used the remote to pop the trunk @ 7:26. My guess. You can see it @ 8:54.

[@MoparGuyaq]

It brought a tear seeing a rare mopar trim being destroyed and if I had the funds to build a car I would put that Hemi into a 1998 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT Laramie with the dash from a challenger or charger (whichever fits) and steering wheel
