Glad it didn't catch on fire....

[@LeeC]

Third times the charm dalt!

[@FatGiantSlacks]

Doesn't a typical bet between you two include a lunch? So did you all bet lunch over whether it would crank?

[@scraplifedalt]

@@FatGiantSlacksLee only eats Raman these days due to all the hellcats he has bought to rebuild this stupid demon. I’d rather buy my own lunch than eat that…😀

[@user-tu1ee6dc5f]

You might be insane taking the torch to the roof was a little much hopefully you didn't warp it again then wreck it and die. Watching a manual being torn apart like this is like watching wiener replacement surgery. My wiener hurts like my soul has been replaced.

[@FatGiantSlacks]

​@@scraplifedalt Makes sense he's broke with his spending habits. You can tell Lee I'll ship him some old taco bell sauce packets from my junk drawer to liven up his cheap lunches.

[@royoprince879]

Somehow taking apart that hellcat and shoving its guts in a demon doesn't sound as bad as being abandoned at auction.

[@swilleh_]

i wonder if there is a modded wiring for demons that he could buy

[@uniongameryt135]

​@@swilleh_ yes their is

[@xandercook6504]

@@swilleh_ I would doubt it, because in my opinion, not enough of them were made to actually get good sales on wiring

[@LegitStreetCars]

Phenomenal video! I want a Hellcat so bad!

[@LeeC]

Let’s go to the auction and find you one!

[@Charlesthedong]

Do it Alex!!

[@zGraph]

would be sick Hellcat and a WS6! 👀

[@Beautifulclouds60]

I watch your channel and would LOVE to see you do a Hellcat! I'm more of a Charger fan than a Challenger fan, but either would be great to see!

[@casualcombine]

LSC!!

[@spooffanoon2670]

Been here since the beginning, the transformation of this car is absolutely crazy. Hearing the car turn over was awesome. I’ve never been so anxious about you trying to start it for the first time. Congrats on it cranking. This is the inspiration I’ve used building my car

[@AddictionAuto]

You would think that with how involved Dodge is in the automotive/youtube community they would have seen this build by now and could assist with what you’re trying to accomplish

[@Charlezzzzzzzz]

Foreal!

[@evenmoredumbthanitseems6769]

It’s just that he’s the first to try something like this and apparently the ecu doesn’t really like the idea of it either

[@friedpancakes266]

He's fixing a defect found in every Demon that Chrysler has refused to fix. They don't want to give him attention

[@prestongolicher6439]

20:46 I could feel your excitement/relief through the screen!!! This is an amazing build and the work you and your team are putting in is amazing! I just ordered the stickers and badge!!!

[@KainDrums13]

The burned side of the Demon is honestly so sick

[@Duckscotw]

Considering that the whole thing use to look like that it’s in og mark it’s come along way

[@tonydorsey11b]

Agreed. Truly a “demonic” dodge.

[@leestead3061]

[@mr.jashanaulakh]

20:47 was THE MOST intense split second of this series till now 😅 So happy to hear it crank for The most first time

[@FrankDBoyce]

was I the only one shouting, "put it in neutral!" ?

[@ayeitzcorabear8378]

I’m so excited to hear that Demon finally turn over. Y’all did such a great job! And those stickers are gonna look sick on my toolbox at work 😜

[@martinhill1990]

ive been watching the rebuild of the burnt out demon and i have to say even as a viewer i was over the moon to hear the engine crack over the first time. So happy for you dude, cant wait to hear what it sounds like, keep up the amazing work and video love to see your teams content. Oh and a MASSIVE HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL FROM THE UK

[@thebookiesx6236]

I’ve been so invested in this for a year now it felt so good to see it crank after being edged on for so long

[@klote82]

I was born into a car loving/motorcycle loving family so naturally I find this channel amazing! I look at what you guys do and cant even comprehend how you keep track of all those parts and know how to put it all back together. I was always nervous to work on my own cars, but I can do all the basics now(oil, brakes, water pump, stereo wiring) and do all the work on my sportbikes. You have a huge setup and its not what I normally think of when I think "salvage" place!

[@dannypedraza5854]

This is so sick! I’ve been following this build since day one ☝️ got nervous when it was time to see if it cranked. Great build and great channel. Totally looking forward to seeing this killer car running.

[@certifiedretard5700]

Would be sick if you sold the hellcat motor and put the V10 from the truck in the hellcat body.

[@Abelsgarage_]

I can get behind this 💪🏼

[@Randomchannel_786]

More like V12

[@George-zq2sk]

so impressive! amazing work! after so many years of putting together cars, it's never been the easy mods that rewarding, but the projects that take months and months, force you drive across the state for parts that really leave a lasting impression. Incredible work once again! Can't wait to see more content!

[@scorpion4894]

Hearing that crank got me saying holy shit, I've been following this series and I gotta say this is amazing. The second it starts running imma go nuts.

[@derekp7230]

Can we all just come hang out at the shop for a day haha you guys seem to have a lot of fun . This series has been awesome congrats . Let’s gooo can’t wait to hear it running . That sure takes dedication to rip apart a running hellcat

[@icephoenix1188]

Congrats Lee!!! It’s come a long way and so much joy is here for this legend see the road again. I want to start doing restoring cars now because of you

[@rocsolid4112]

Great video man.... I've been waiting for this one... can't wait to see this friggin thing run... merry Xmas, happy new year guys....I love my local KZbinrs

[@jlakindd]

2 videos in one week. feels like christmas

[@Beautifulclouds60]

Well, I hope you do have some spectacular plans for the Hellcat because I find it's upsetting me a bit to see it torn apart like this. Of course, I will keep watching to see what y'all have in mind. I hope it's not too long before you unveil your plans.
