[@Airsofthelpvancouver1963]

To be honest I'd truly love to see a hellcat motor I think a supercharged V8 in the body style would incredible I under that they are iconic for the V10 and being a sportscar but a hell elephant or just a nice hellcat that you can actually afford maybe consider I think it get more interest then you think.

[@adamhonda98]

The Supra in white is sexy AF

[@trumanhw]

Dude, you gotta look into how dB of sound pressure work. Yeah ... WILDLY different. Every +10 dB = 2x louder, (and even greater actual pressure change. Every +20 dB = 4x louder, (and 100x the actual pressure change) That's why you could talk the first time, and even yelling the 2nd time was barely audible.

[@MrSkoofie]

the fact that you brought and used a potato for a prop is the reason ill watch all your videos from beginning to end! 😂😂😂

It’s a difference between not having $149k and wanting to spend $149k.🤣

I was jus finna say that😂😂

[@StillFlyingSoulo]

The cost of that body/frame work was at least a quarter of that. They really put in a lot of work.

[@tomrockholm-timeless_morph6691]

As a retired painter one of my favorite things is watching someone paint for the first time and seeing it click in their head just how much skill is involved in doing the job properly. Then the next best thing is teaching them how to do that job properly and seeing it click when they figure it out. Incredibly rewarding job to be a painter and even more rewarding to teach others to be top notch painters.

[@Fenyx46]

Obligated to comment and thank you for not turning this into a 12-part series with constant sponsorships/ads from companies that gave you free things. Great video and great work! The paintjob turned out fantastic.

Best life is the the scraplife😈

[@milestone_media]

When putting the side canards on the front bumper put a washer on the back side of the rivit so it has something to pull without trying to grab into the bumper plastic so it is grabbing the metal washer creating a sandwich effect 👍🏻 much love brother good job as a body guy and shop owner I know the dedication it takes, if you ever need composite repairs were the top shop in Jersey doing composite repairs

[@Punchie_VT_ALT]

I personally LOVE the viper acr. yea even though the first gen was a bloodbath since it WANTED to kill you, the 5th gen made it look so much more AGGRESSIVE

The Viper was always one of my favorite cars. I feel like they never really got the recognition that they deserved.

that's because dodge

[@jaredpetersen7343]

hey Scraplifelee please look at the frame above ur finger on the right side at 7:38 just right above the strut frame u can see its cracked on both sides and pushed up from when they tried to pull it back into place u can see the tear in the top umder the yellow :) please look at it carefully and dont forget it please 😊

[@jayk7781]

That is a fiberglass inner support fender which is not structurally part of the frame. It is glued to the frame but very replaceable.

Foreal, because he still has a spare hellcat engine that he hasn’t used yet

Swapping Viper to Hellcat, sounds like changing your pet from bull to cat 😂

Hellcat motor is a down grade from the one in the viper i think so

That would be disappointing.

That's due to Carroll Shelby, Bob Lutz, & Chrysler using a C4 Corvette as the benchmark for the Dodge Viper.

there was a old viper book back in my old elementary schools library and that made this one of my favorite cars

[@robertmaybeth3434]

Was it about Vipers with 4 wheels? or vipers that go "TSssss" before they bite you? I'm confused

Good deal. Part out would make more than your money back. My local Junk Yard co-owner has a nice car collection and one of the newer versions of this car in his collection. Color is burnt orange, and black racing stripes. Huge wing. I had to show him how to turn his running lights on.

[@The-Real-MrCap]

Love the curb appeal of the car, great lines. I didn’t mind the classic racing stripes breaking up the yellow a little, but either way it’s really wild looking. Having uneven back pressure with different muffling or lack there of side to side usually isn’t a great idea for performance but it was a good solution in the short term. Courageous build! 👍🏽

The Viper ACR is one of the most raw power total driver driven cars you can drive. You ask a lot of car people that drives expensive cars what cars scares them the most. Most will say the viper. No abs control no traction control. Its all in the driver. The driver has complete control in the car.
