[@FatGiantSlacks]

@scraplifegarage Congrats Lee! I snuggled up on the couch with a cooler containing my future kidney and we watched the video together. Worth waiting for.

Everybody's scared of a demon all of a sudden 🤔😆🤣😆

Yep same

[@JasonMcCord-qk3yb]

Don’t sweat it Lee! I worked in the collision repair industry for many years, and was one of the only automotive electricians at just about every shop I have ever worked at! Your “crude diagram” is exactly the way I would have done it! It doesn’t need to be beautiful, it just has to make sense to you!

[@KGisthenameman]

Yep, you said it brother. I am a collision tech currently working for a big shop in Phoenix and often deal with electrical nightmares as well. I do all of the harness replacements and repairs, along with airbag system-related problems.

[@JasonMcCord-qk3yb]

@@KGisthenameman Nice!! I’m in Phoenix, as well! I’m mostly retired now, building the occasional race car and doing the occasional salvage rebuild, when something interesting and challenging comes along.

[@bliz_]

UPLOAD!!! Literally just decided to check the channel again to see if another demon video was out. lo and behold. Glad to see it built, Done is a word rarely used on this channel.

[@angelcelis9090]

Well the builds are pretty insane on this channel

[@Carlos1916.]

Bro literally did the same thing

[@JStryker7]

Now make the first Pacifica Demon with a manual

[@kylewise3111]

After all these wiring headaches of swapping stuff between same models, idk if they're gonna want to deal with swapping an engine that isn't made to fit lmao. That being said, I REALLY HOPE THEY DO IT ANYWAYS. Even if it's just a Durango drivetrain swapped in, that'd be mental lol.

[@leddygee1896]

Mid Engine Demon Pacifica😁

That would be so dope

[@volixingyt9151]

There’s a pacifcat in my town 😂

Give the people what they want ! Maybe even a town & country so I can take a girl out on a date

[@UAlrKnoWhoItIs]

I love that you show your troubleshooting and mistakes. Most people would cut it out but it adds a lot more personality and realism to the video. Much respect and keep up the great content bro

[@mamdouh5069]

There's a guy in Saudi who has a hellcat engine in a 68 dodge charger with a manuel transmission, absolute clean build (home made mostly)

[@isnowyazn]

You already know the Middle East, and places like Dubai.... the world's craziest builds -- bar none.

[@s0ljawitch503]

That would be dope if a 79' charger was a thing

[@mamdouh5069]

Yeah sorry it's a 68 I got the dates mixed up, nice attitude to enquire about it tho wow.@@s0ljawitch503

[@davebrzezowski1159]

It was built by cleveland power and performance I'm pretty sure

[@MrCylan88]

U sure its saudi or mexico? Because of manuel.

[@rx7jms]

Heck yeah! Been watching since the start.

[@dumbkid2..0]

Me to bro

[@mangotail6808]

Same. seeing it been turned from a burnt wreck to a running, whining Demon, it was time well spent.

[@derekp7230]

One word . Satisfied . Thank you for the great content! This build has been awesome the whole way .

[@steelwheels327]

Impressive Lee , you don't give yourself enough credit you're a pretty good mechanic and a lot of blood , sweat & tears with it ...i'd never get rid of it

[@AutoAuctionUSA]

Holy smokes! This build is insane! From a fiery wreck to a fire-breathing monster, you brought this Demon back to life and gave it a whole new heart (and transmission)! The perseverance through all the electrical gremlins and random problems is truly inspiring. Huge congrats on getting this beast running and making over 800hp! Can't wait to see what future upgrades you have planned!

[@o0-0o693]

Im really curious to see where this channel will be in a few years. I think these guys will get a lot more comfortable on camera showing off their personalities a lot more.

[@daryl9799]

They are heads and tails above most the are authentic not putting on a act very genuine.

[@edwinblack-rw5xk]

I disagree. Their personalities are already on full display...it what's makes this channel so great.

[@7seriesmax]

Congratulations. You know it’s making power when you can’t hear the blower whining. Coolest build of 2024.

[@user-xf4xm3ue2o]

CONGRATULATIONS! Thats a hell of an achievement and its been a blast to see it progress over the last year

[@StormrageGaming]

I've been following this build since it began, I'm so glad I was able to see this through. Lots of thought put into it, lots of soul too. I learned a lot myself about rebuilding, the process of swapping harnesses and electronics and fuel and even things I never would have thought about. Makes me appreciate my little Daytona 392 that much more.

[@eam4486]

As an owner of a 2015 M6 Hellcat and an overall lover of anything manual trans, I've been super excited for this day! So happy for you Lee! 100% worth the blood sweat and tears. Can't wait for future updates about it!

[@rickybobby7285]

Please add another couple ground straps to the motor from the chassis!!!!!!!! It’s starting slow and will only burn up the alternator, the red eyes, demons require extra grounds. Also, don’t forget to make sure launch control and the line lock work

[@jeffmitchell8075]

9:25 yeaaaaaa....finally get to hear the Phoenix breathing fire...awesome job guys...all the hard work that you have put into the car paid off...button it up and go rippin...😅😅

[@TheCrimson187]

Finally, after over a year, the Demon lives! I've been waiting to hear it start for a long time and I am experiencing the same sigh of relief that the crew is.

[@SaltyKiten]

thats the definition of "if i can , why shouldent i?" that sick bro

[@comfort_in_discomfort]

This has been my favorite project. I needed this, to see that there was still dedication to 3-pedal cars. Awesome!

[@dbaker22186]

I'm so happy to see this thing running. This build is what started me on watching your channel and I'm glad to have been part of the journey. I can't wait to see more of what is to come from this car and your other builds. Thank you guys!

[@malikdigger4544]

Making a modern Dodge Demon rebuild took three Hellcat & 1 Scapac Challenger's this was amazing series Scraplife Garage

[@RipRoaringGarage]

THANK YOU!!!!! I had the exact same problem with my Crown Vic. No crank. Eventually, I watched my own footage and found that the car would crank with the jumper connected to the bell housing. Not the body, so I found my engine ground strap to be toast. I have been looking for a YEAR (maybe more) to find the right size o ring and cable, and just a glance from yours set me down the Mopar path, to a custom ground strap that was identical to mine, down to the exposed copper. I just ordered them and I can start my baby. Big win for me too!

[@shanemiller7157]

Wow I guessed 820 HP last video and I'm very satisfied with that accuracy

[@Bearded_Viking87]

I KNOW HOW GOOD THAT MOMENT FELT...YEEEAAAAA BOOIIII. CONGRATS AND GREAT WORK.

[@TheBBodyBuilder]

Congratulations! The fact that you tackled that build, figured out how to make it work and actually returned it to the road is in a word Awesome! Love your content and presentation style. Hats off to you Sir! For safety’s sake run a scatter shield…if that clutch lets go the floor is not going to protect your legs.

[@JCMcustoms]

It’s crazy how EXCITED I am for you!! lol. 🤜🏻🤛🏻! Awesome job!!

[@billgoodwin8742]

You are going to love driving this car around. I know I love driving my 6-speed manual Hellcat Challenger.

[@ronzander7648]

I don't think I've ever seen you more excited to get a car running. It genuinely made me smile ear to ear to see your excitement as just getting the thing on the service road in front of your shop. I LOVE this build.

[@SuperDalite]

I’ve watching this channel and have been hooked on just for THIS video. I’m thoroughly impressed with this build. How I would love a manual demon myself, BUT lack the talent and time to do this. Very impressed here. 👍 Also, great job in editing this entire story as always.

[@Marlon_42]

Qué buen momento para ser parte de este canal, hace meses estuve viendo todo el proceso de restauración y me siento muy satisfecho de como quedó ya que es uno de mis autos favoritos sin duda, Y este es manual 💥💥😎😎

Super achievement! Impressive dedication and effort. Can we convince you to fix the remaining burned paint and mirror?

[@raymondpetrovits2336]

Your persistence, perseverance and dedication to this project is above unreal. For a Mopar guy one Demon is cool but to have a selection of Demon’s is over the top.

[@llvinvectivevll8899]

Congratulations been waiting for this video! BUT PLEASE NOTE THIS: if you guys have cooling problems in the future, it can be because you guys installed the wrong intercooler pump system, regular hellcats (which is installed) compared to redeye/demon/170 have different intercooler pump systems.
