Building a Destroyed 2018 Challenger Hellcat Widebody in Minutes

[@Hylfi]

I like that this dude knows everything about automobile what goes where and shit. He is like the superman and lex luthor combine all together to become the greatest automotive professor. Thats incredible.

[@williswhatchutalkinbout4367]

Lol it’s rebuilding a car. Not heroic work. A skill anyone with a little common sense and knowledge can do if you just try and stick with it.

[@Hylfi]

@@williswhatchutalkinbout4367 I know, im not saying its heroic. Well it might be in some ways but, Im reffering to he is a genius in building cars. Btw, your point is right tho. With effort everything can be achieve. I envy this guy.

[@kevinleonard62]

i watched and waited for the most important and technical part of the whole operation and they skipped over it ... the rest is just bolt off and bolt onn

[@Hylfi]

@@kevinleonard62 which part is that dude?

[@kevinleonard62]

@@Hylfi the lining up and welding of the new chassis rails... wanted to see how they lined it up and welded it considering this one powerful car well able to do 200+ mph

[@ColinPrince]

Dave, that has to be the build of the year. It looked so difficult when the film was speeded up. I think that I would have sat in the corner and cried my eyes out to see all of those pieces! Enjoyed it very much!

[@hamae]

It's easy to forget just how much work you guys put into things when we watch it happen over long periods of time. But seeing videos like this really puts it all into perspective. You start thinking about all the hours and the blood, sweat, and splitting headaches. Something that I don't think a lot of KZbinrs hear is, thank you for choosing this as your career. Thank you for persevering through all the negative comments and low view counts. Corrupted video and missing audio. We are glad every time you choose to get up out of bed and film.

[@DRDRE-ex6yg]

I absolutely love how you pay attention to detail, nothing is just thrown together! And your mechanical abilities are superb!!! Really enjoyed this video! I was in awe! Thank you

[@fyodorshestakov6462]

I really love videos like this. In every move, in the way he looks at the car and call this Hellcat "She"... It shows how much he loves what he is doing. This is really awesome, thank you for such great videos! Good luck!

[@marcussmith588]

I love fast videos..there is a wealth of knowledge...if he tried to explain to me over the phone how to do these things I would give up...but seeing someone do it is totally different...i can always slow the video down also...great job.

[@paulschmidt1644]

I’m not Mopar guy but I very much enjoyed watching you save this beautiful American muscle car.

Nice dude. Its always very satisfyingly great to see a car that someone says is totaled repaired and given a second chance at life

[@felixramos3078]

After watching this video, I learned one thing, that it's a Hell of a Challenge, to take over a Destroyed Challenger Hellcat. Oh, and you most have some serious deep pockets, to accomplish that project!

Clever word play “hell of a challenge” but I agree

That was an incredible amount of work this guy did. What was a jaw dropper for me was when he pulled into the Chrysler dealership. Across the street was Phil Long Ford where 50 years ago when I turned 16 years old, my dad took me there to buy a Ford Maverick. As I kept staring at this video, I was asking myself how did 50 years fly by so fast and what did it do with it......

[@Zionsol777]

loved the reaction when he asked her how she liked it when he first got it...lol I get the same reaction from my wife when I show her cars/trucks I'm gonna buy off salvage auctions. I'm all excited about a "great deal" and she just looks at me like I am the one that is confused... lol great video man.

[@bigchi7635]

Dave the way the wife frowned at the car At the beginning of the video, Everyone will be glad to take a ride in the HELLCAT NOW!!!!!👌 American💪🏽😁

4.1 million Congrats Dave.

[@vallynwolfe]

To see that beautiful piece of machinery smashed up in the beginning broke my heart. But seeing you pour your soul into that beast made everything better. That car is gorgeous. I love that color! Amazing work, man. Kudos.

Excellent going there, huge thumbs up! Just over 30 years ago I did EXACTLY the same procedure with a BMW 635 CSI, using the complete front end of a rear-ended 628. I swapped the roof skins too because the donor had a sunroof :-) Keep up the good videos, greetings from Germany.

Love the passion. Just pulled the 6.4 out of my 16 SRT 392 BACK IN January. So $20k later, she's making a little over 900 to the wheels and 760 ft lbs of torque on E85. Satera Tuning, near Chicago, did a great job with the tune. Happy motoring to you, man.

A total savings of a 2% off of a new one. Still great video for quarantine life + house arrest. Next one please 2 hours. For real I loved it.

[@drodriguez1724]

Once factoring in all the labor you put in, you're probably better off working some overtime to buy a new one.

Congratulations on your new Toy, you did an amazing job. The attention to detail and patience is extraordinary. I have a question and I am sure everyone else has it too. How long did it take to rebuilt and how much money? I ask because this may inspire many of us that cannot afford or want to spend a whopping $72, 000 plus for a New car out of the dealership. Thanks for sharing this video, it was pretty cool.

Would you be willing to reveal what you paid for the Hellcat as well as the donor and how much you had to pay for all parts etc? Did you find that it was worth your time and money or would it be cheaper to buy a non-wrecked Hellcat?

Being new to the mopar scene this rebuild is absolutely awesome

[@fixitcorrectly7301]

Do you have a huge game plan when disassembling cars down this Far? How do you stay so organized and get everything back into the correct spot? Lots of pictures or a certain way to organize while things are apart. It’s pretty impressive the amount of detail you put into your builds, it’s one thing to build a drift car or race car and be able to remove stuff and toss it but tearing a car down and bringing back to factory new condition is a tuff task. Once again Dave good job.

[@Junkyard_Dave]

I have a really good memory not photographic but I can usually remember how things go if I take them apart, my biggest issue with the project was it not coming with the frontend parts so I had to figure out how everything went back together.

[@thebigfut]

I still think you changing the rear spoiler was the best individualizing mod of the car. It just looks cleaner and more appealing to me.

@@vancovio Gimme a chance Vance I have enough with the wife riding me to get rid of it. I'm 64 and been to hell and back. I even had to hunt the car down after a neighbor of mine recommended someone to work on it. He had a 69 Chevelle that the guy worked on so I thought I'd give him a shot at it and he disappeared with it. After tracking down his movements I found it being held in a shop with 6 other cars for failure to pay 8 months back rent. So now I had a problem with the landlord. After back and forth with him, he gave me a 3 hour window to retrieve the car, I got a friends pick up with a winch and dragged the car through 4 foot weeds behind an apartment building. I discovered 6 other cars this guy snatched for work, a 69 AMX, 69 Ford Maverick GT, 70 Mustang ,70 GTO, 69 Chevelle SS and mine. It was sickening, after dragging the car out I called a flat bed to bring it back to my home.

I tried to figure out why you said, "that the video came from another channel." (17:08) I rewinded the video several times to that spot, and I don't see any reason why you mentioned that. Other, than someone else was doing the electrical part of the assembly. I am a retired Aviation Electrician, and in order to do the job right, you need someone who really knows what he, or she is doing. The whole car can go up in flames, if something is wrong with the electrical system. Can you tell me why you think, he copy this video from someone else? Thanks
