Building a Destroyed 2018 Challenger Hellcat Widebody in Minutes

  • This was a fun build turning a car that was wrecked after only 1200 miles with a fate headed to a scrap yard for part out. I saved her and made her as beautiful as she was off of the showroom floor. That being said I ran into plenty of setbacks from shipping companies, dealerships, etc I was able to push thru and get her finished. Along the way I had some good fun with friends and at the drag strip with more to come. This Challenger Hellcat Widebody is so much fun to drive and for having 500HP and 707HP it is the best of both worlds when driving. I did do a few upgrades along the way from the addition of the Redeye intake, and ram air hood to the drag wing this thing is nuts. I just can't believe she is finally finished after all of the hard work, a labor of love!!!

    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!

    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 RUclipsrs 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.

    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......
