Your frame guy is the best. Worth his weight in gold.
In titanium too
Roman Konyrev I agree with 100%. But I think I have a bias View because of our Name.and I think most guys with our names usually always have great things to say
totally different country... @MJK
Frame Guy has an accent... Maybe Slav brother but I don't see any Adidas on him
frame guy is surely his brother with them two goofy ass haircuts?
Shit Bro, nice work! Just keep her all B5 blue...😈🤘🍺
I'm pretty amazed at what you do to these vehicles. I have a deep found respect for every mechanic and what they do to keep our vehicles running smooth. I can't wait to see the restored Hellcat.
What I enjoy most about these videos is the “just do it“ attitude. No technical explanations; just takeoff all the bolts until the part comes out.
If the only things people comment on is the way you look and the music, I would say you are doing a great job on the video concerning the Hellcat. Keep up the good work. I'm learning a lot. Can't wait to see the finished product.
Welcome. The next time you weld spot, paint these parts with copper paste. Copper melts and additionally combines parts and does not allow access to moisture, thanks to which these places do not corrode. Test it. Observed when renovating vintage cars. Greetings.
P.S.
Of course, it is about painting the internal parts of the sheets in contact with each other.
Grzegorz Kołecki that’s probably one of the best tips I’ve ever heard I never thought of that thank you so much
@@dover0471 you're welcome. If I ever move from Poland to the USA, you will help me with the car. :-). Greetings.
P.S. It's a joke, of course, I'm glad I could help. Greetings to all readers.
Zinc is better. Besides, Chrysler doesn’t recommend weld through primer at all. Pretty much have to rely on cavity wax
At 11:03 we all got the finger - ha ha, garage humor. I've watched your build straight thru, couldn't stop once I started watching. Great editing and chock full of detail - good stuff.
Good to see you doing a comprehensive job on your Hellcat rather than trying to cut corners. Hope it works out for you.
I love watching stuff like this, and that's a beast of a car there. love it. ps, I mute the music and have something else playing, hope u don't mind
Lots of progress! Paint the roof the original color and do the carbon fiber stripes!
Replacing the roof, a skilled job. Watching this rebuild is sheer enjoyment. Well done lads. Kevin
The way you guys remove and reinstall these complicated assemblies is nothing short of amazing. I wouldn't have a clue where to start.
huge work, as always ! u deserve way more subs 😉👍
That guy could be your brother. Love the Hellcat . I have R/T wish I bought wrecked hellcat and knew how to fix it lol!
This guy put great efforts in the rebuild. He's got an utmost passion for cars.
As a former Challenger owner (2012), I love this series. It's so great to see this beast not end up in a scrapyard and to see talented craftsmen show their skills. (Your frame guy is amazing.) I will say that shortly after I got my Challenger home, I realized just how flimsy the roof skin was - I've had convertibles with more solid roofs! Not at all surprised it buckled in the accident. Enjoy your awesome ride!
Just found your channel today, I like it a lot! Thank you for the content you make!
I love the clean work Keep going🔥🔥
the frame guy works magic !! two thumbs up for sure
Amazing!! no more words. You guys' videos are the onlys I won't skip any single second!!!
If you're not sure on the color do the whole thing the original color then wrap what you want different. I'm doing that with the hood on my challenger, I like the color but I catch some serious glare sometimes from the sun and am gonna do a matte black vinyl wrap on it. Almost the best of both worlds and you're not fully committed to having it be 2 colors as you could always peel the wrap off.
Nice job Alex...your friend guy looks like your twin bro. You guys are highly skilled in what you do
The transformation is epic! Keep posting...I am hooked on your channel.
I'd wonder if anybody has watched this video and commented, "Hey, that was the exact same car i crashed into a tree! Wonder where it went..." LMAO
It was mine. It got stolen by kids in my neighborhood who couldn’t drive stick and hit a tree on the corner.
Insane amount of work there. That dash looked easier going in, than it did coming out. Ive never seen a roof skin removed before. Usually its a full turret replacement ive seen. I rekn the car should be all the one colour.
The majority of the metal that is welded together in Body in white during the body framing will have that white sealer for a tight seal and to stop the metal on metal from creaking. Black adhesive sealer will be on the pillars and other areas for extra strength and bonding all of which are welded. Again great vids. Kudos to,your bodyman. I work for FCA As an electrician in the body shop. I over see a line with about 60 robots. Sealer, Material handlers and welding. Technology is something else.
Top quality work ... your frame guy is legit.
So far the only video I did not fast forward or even think about it was part 4 😬 those fabricators are spot on great work
No black top.....just stick with the car all b5 blue....btw you forgot the passenger side air vent
Agreed, also no vinyl stripes
All b5 bro!!! Don't make it whack, that color stands alone!
Your sheet metal guy is a monster excellent..... work
He also forgot the roof antenna for the navigation system.
I would leave the roof black, and the tacky-ass "carbon fiber" hood too for that matter. I like mismatched things.
Hi, did I miss to see it or your frame guy did not basecoated/painted and did not apply any anticorrosion spray to inside of the rails? Same goes to the roof skin, was it at least basecoated for rust protection from inside? I am far away from automotive repairs but it is my understanding that metal that was subjected to extreme heat from welding has tendency to rust like there is no tomorrow... Just my 2 cents.
Geniuses at work!
Great video guys and so very entertaining, love every minute of the vids, oh, and the sounds are not THAT bad!!
awesome roof replacement. never saw that done in such detail. very good vid. keep up the good work!
Those Roof Dents are from the Driver pounding His Fists on roof after Totaling His Hellcat !!! See it all the time.
Lmao
Good video! Spotted Ed
I lke the spirit behind your projects! Keep makin' !
The way you put the car back together was so detailed very quickly and carefully 👍👍
Your frame guy does everything he should own the channel . You are good at filming him btw
but the frame guy didn't mention those roof buckles. I wonder how you can straighten the "frame" (bumper mounts basically) and not check over the rest of the thing?
All good but just as everybody else i hate the music.
godamn that music is TERRIBLE
It's free RUclips music. It's the only way to ensure he doesn't get a copyright infringement. It's either that or make your own music.
Randall Parker
Maybe he’s not a musician.
But if you are good enough, maybe he accepts donations. 😕
Whoever made this music wasn't a musician either, didn't stop them.
Buggs
Arr arr arr.
Great videos, an awsome project and what a professionel work force !!! looking forward to seeing more.
Just found this channel and this series! Love it! And I love the music too! Great work!
I like your channel because you build the cars fast good shyt
Alex, solid repair skills sir. I really like the fact that you dive deep into guts of turning one of these modern wrecks back into a spec machine. I'd be curious to know what this project set you back?
Great vid buddy!! Love the build!!! I personally like the color of the front end.... But you do you buddy!!! Can't wait for the next one!!
Just checking this three year old video out...great stuff and your frame guy..he's the bomb..a top notch pro. Lovin' the vid for sure.
Another excellent video!!
Hi Randy, subscribed to your channel - you don’t need to do cars like these, but rebuilds like this is what we are looking for. Weird beard is following suit. I am still in your corner, hoping to see great content soon! Like the Copart walk arounds though - you got this!
Totally needs a spot weld drill bit....
@@TheFRiNgEguitars why do i have a feeling someone is going to leave a pissy comment replying to yours lol
He used one on the new skin
@@cranbrookwhat ?? A spot weld drill is for removal of the old skin, not for drilling the weld holes in the new one. (sigh) A spot weld drill is ground near flat, so it does not drill into the inner panel or seam you are welding to.
TheFRiNgEguitars well obviously lol. I was just stating the irony that he used a spot weld drill on the new skin.
@@cranbrookwhat haha! I didn't notice, (bad on me) and a good observation! hilarious!
wow .. roof (unibody damage) .. ALL the interior, what a ton of work.
your videos are always interesting and I admire how you don't waste time with adding irrelevant stuff! keep doing great stuff brother! and your frame guy is A1!
clean and neat work my only argument is about that black silicone thing put instead of the foam.the foam would kill the rattle better if used.the roof is from Mopar and the frame guy is a pro so no worries
It is most likely a soft NVH material that stays flexible when cured. It’s a good alternative to the foam used by oem’s
I've stopped being productive here at home and have watched parts 1-5 back to back. I don't want to get all in your business, but would you mind running the numbers for us? I'd love to know what this cost in the end.
Oh, and I think there are some guys watching this that want to know what kind of hair gell you use.....
You are very talented in what you do! Amazing job bringing the cat back to life!
Even with time lapse that dash removal looked painful. Good work.
What is wrong with the commentators on here. All the comments are on music, facial hair, nationality, etc. How do you people cope in life? Do you go out in public and try to pick everybody's clothes and hand out mix tapes with your preferred music?
BINGO
Well the music does suck and it takes away from the video.
The music part is constructive criticism (I mean, sure some people are being 'youtube commenters'). The music is way too loud compared to the conversational bits, and could use some more variety. It takes away from the content, but doesn't ruin the content. Yadig? The other stuff is just people being dweebs.
Exactly!. I don't love the music, but you have to respect their skills. Don't care what they look like. Everyone has regrettable haircuts from their youth, LOL.
I love the music the tempo, fits the speed of the video perfectly.
I give you major props brother!! Your channel is amazing, you deserve a lot more subs!!!!!! Great content and details you have in your videos
The other guy...wow damn talented....the roof top still paint blue just like the other parts plz....true inspiration man.
HOW COME NO WELD THROUGH PRIMER?
I noticed that the new roof skin doesn't have the hole in the rear for the antenna shark fin just wanted to let you know before the headliner goes back in.
I'd leave it as is and put one of the small square antennas on the rear shelf.
I'm not sure how many more "I'ma gonna..." this or that I can take. Like the content but for some reason this grates my ears every time.
Great video! Love your work!
Is this going to be for sale when done? If so how much?
i really like watching this channel but wish it would put out more videos
Big respect to you bro love how u brought that hell cat back to life👍👍👍
Love the build great work
Keep the all blue bro
What's the tool used to drill the spot-weld holes?
It is just called a spot weld drill, it is used to drill the spot welds out on the the outer panel while leaving the inner untouched, and can also be used to drill new panel holes search ebay you will see
You are putting that Hellcat thru purdee hell. Excellent videos.Especially the bionic fast forwarding.👍👍
Awesome attention to detail and quality to go the extra step in removing the interior to prevent damage!!
Nice job!! Goonzquad would have done this in 4 or 5 videos!!😂 Like it
More like 14-15 videos. You must have missed a few of Goonzquads videos.
Goonzaquad does it to j
Keep peopke coming back
That roof is a sure sign of chassis twist . It was hit very hard indeed . . I wouldn't be to keen . but go for it pal .
do u 2 even understand the anatomy of a collision?? the roof is like that due to the shock wave from the impact... watch a IIHS video n in the slowmotion u will see the shock wave transfer through out the car... the A-pilar didnt buckle either.. as long as he gots the frame rails straight and the sub frame in spec (i do collision/automotive work and alignments all day) which u can shift into spec he will be good...
@@willythewave the damaged parts were replaced.... idiot!!
brother his friend that does the body work is doing an excellent job so far. You should check part 3 and watch how much more moved the driver side front rail than the passenger side front rail. I supose that after watching the difference you can tell that the chassis is correclty align now and will not notice in the future. willythewave @@willythewave
Also keep in mind that alex most of the time records video but maybe they've talked about it off camera, who knows!!! Not because in the video you didn't see them looking under the car doesn't mean they didn't before!!
@UC__HZLw76GWWfkZ92qH3VVA I'm sure it was checked out, we have been fixing these uni-body cars for years now, and yes, there are some that shouldn't be fixed, this one actually looks like a pretty easy fix, roof could have been repaired, front frame rails always roll, and as for the "SHOCK WAVE" a uni-body car will always buckle the roof or the sail panel, I'm sure he hung gauges on it, and it will track and be align-able, the tires will wear just fine, we had a 69 Camaro with a blower motor that came in and we had to repair a buckle in the roof because when he launched it it pulled the right up too far, car gauged out, scaled out and was in perfect alignment before the roof was even repaired, this car was not a hard it.
You guy's did an excellent job on every part. I recently just had to take the front bumper off my hellcat for a repaint and even that was a mission to achieve
I can only admire the work done by Alex and the guy that did the frame straightening. Wish I had those skills cause I love cars.
Nice job! Did the roof have provisions for the sat antenna? I would paint the car all the same color, no black anywhere, no carbon either.
The sat antenna is located in the shark fin
Ya I know, saw no hole in the roof for the wire to come through.
@@daved5244 just noticed that as well.... at 8:12 there is no hole for the shark fin
With all those shelves empty, why is he putting those parts on the floor? Too many shelves close together. Take out some them and make that space useful.
Nicely done, keep up the awesome work man.
This is one channel which finishes the work before you know it...hats off bro 💚💚💚
Here we go!
The content, music and speed were all on point. 👍
Why do all RUclipsrs use the same music tho? No rock?
serious?
Good Job guys, enjoyed watching the build
Fantastic work on the car. Looks great!
It's a bad sign when the roof has so many dents and is so soft in places, I hope when it was on the bench it was measured for a front to back twist, chargers do have a softish chassis and the sunroof does help.....
Possibly the car crashed against a tree and the branches fell on the roof. That could explain most of the damage.
@ Not dents like that, that is 100% from the chassis flexing, I can almost guarantee that's why this car was totaled. If it were just a matter of putting it on a frame rack and replacing some parts the PO's insurance would have fixed it.
@@realmach5 The reason these cars total is because of the air bags usually, 90% of the cars we get that total is because of deployed bags, broken dashes and srs parts, insurance companies are not allowed to use anything except new srs components and in the case of this car that is over 10k alone
@@scottgettman4909 Indeed, although the insurance companies we deal with seem less likely to repair moderate structural damage than they did 10 years ago when I started. From the ones I've spoken with they all pretty much say they don't want to have to deal with the liability and would rather leave it up to the insured if they want a check. A lot of this is dependent on the car and the insurance though. The companies I typically deal with would have seen the frame rails and roof and wouldn't have even thought twice about totaling it. The bags are just the cherry on top.
@@realmach5 Have you not ever heard of crumple zones .If that roof was chassis flex as you say the door probably wouldnt even open .This is a modern car not a 70s car ,which if hit on the end of the legs would push the A pillar up putting a kink in the roof .A modern car is a lot stronger but with crumple zones on the legs and other places
This wasnt even hit on the legs it was was bang in the middle of them
Insurance company: The vehicle is a total loss. It has frame damage. 🤓.
Alex: I'll buy it!. Hold my beer.🍺
Jr Montoya Agree!! Good for him and the rebuilders that do it right! Damn throw away society any more! It seems Insurance companies just wash their hands of a small problem and pay out a claim as a total loss for money savings and convenience on their end! It would have been sickening to see this baby parted out!
@@FarmerSteveO The problem here would be all the time and money required to restore the car. Mechanics and body shops arent cheap. He's doing all the work by himself (or friends i suppose), but for a normal person it would've been cheaper to simply buy another one, considering the money needed to repair it. Also this car has frame damage. I personally wouldnt spend so much money knowing the car may have other problems some time in the future.
Jr Montoya I can’t stand memes but that needs to be one 😂😂
FarmerSteveO The term “total loss” simply means that the cost of repairs exceeds the value of the vehicle; not that the vehicle is not repairable. Usually at that point they typically sell them at auction as a “salvage; rebuildable” vehicle, vs. a “salvage non-rebuildable” which refers to a vehicle that cannot be rebuilt.
I want to wish you the very best... This is truly a blessing watching you work. Your frame guy is out of control.... Perfection ... This car is sick..... I hope when you reached the top of your journey and begin to make your brand a household name which I know you will don't for get your frame guy. You should surprise your frame guy with a nice build of his own as a bond of gratitude for him being there for you. And of course all the others that make this magic happen. Don't forget that fresh low fade comb over when your done. Keep it tight and right. Got a good license plate logo when its done. Godbless and stay hungry and humble. Your boy JR.
You guys got some mad skills props go out to you and your team 👍🏼 you guys are auto body beasts
Channel should be called frame guy rebuilds not Alex rebuilds
No half assed short cuts, everything is being done right! This is a car I would feel comfortable buying and daily driving.
Yes definitely, beats some other folks on RUclips hacking things together. Then telling everyone it's perfect.
@@kkellerk23 for example?
@@a.e.4156 SHARK system. That's what I use. So as you're pulling it gives you live pulling specs. That is what a Collision center uses to pull a frame correctly. You take pre measurements. Then the system tells you what to pull and how much. I was curious what he used.
@@a.e.4156 oh sorry lol, I miss read the comment. I was posting on another comment section. I watched this guy samcrac do a repair. It wasn't at all what should have happened. Metal weakens in a accident. Especially aluminum. He just welded it back up and carried on. I wouldn't have done it that way at all. I don't have a lot of experience. But I was tought in school "sectioning" not "welding" and "patching" fixes frame damage.
@@kkellerk23 But he didn't just weld it up. They welded it then add a piece 5 times as thick as the original to it. It also WASN'T frame damage. It was a mount to hold the top of the strut. Not anywhere near the frame of the car(also that car is a unibody car and doesn't have a "frame"). Did he do it the exact way I would have in my shop? No. but what they did is far more than enough to make the car as good as or better than stock. Also whoever told you metal weakens in an accident was smoking crack. Metal can loose some of its ionic bonds at a molecular level by bending it repeatedly back and forth. His car wasn't even in an accident. I don't know what kind of school you were learning about building and repairing car frames but welding and plating is by far the most common and should be done 90% of the time over sectioning and replacing. Especially on any kind of older car or truck that has a actually frame. Look up what a fish plate or fish scale is for frame work. Also learn what a frame is vs a unibody car.
Great vid. Looks like a lot of fun, keep up the good work...
Your "frame guy" is hopefully well paid in beer and that green paper stuff. He's a hell of a treasure to have in your stable for work like this.
How much was the car and how much was it to fix it. Is the only question
@@willythewave theres used 1s for 45$ so is it worth it ?
@@willythewave i dont know. That's a rebuilt salvage title . Me myself. I'm a corvette guy. But this cars are badass
@@willythewave rebuilt. Salvage. Broken messed up. Whatever you wana call a title . Is not a clear title is my point. So spend 45 $ when you can get a used 1 for 45$ was all in was saying. No need to get a smart mouth
by time he buys all the parts and drove all over the country to get some of them etc, paid for a paint job etc etc, it would have been easier and probably cheaper to buy a good one. personally I would have taken the thing and sold it for parts and made more from the parts than the whole car is worth.
@@blue03r6 it's a Dodge, beyond the motor, the rest of the car is not worth much, dime as dozen shared parts bin. Even the small brakes are not worth much.
Keep it all blue
Damn you guys did a hell of a good job. Keep up the good work brother.
Amazing skillset en patience and endurance...no fear for failure....TOP guys !!
Awesome 👏
Naw one solid color the hole car... No strips are black roof
Great effort on the roof!! Didnt see that coming.
Very cool project. i wasn´t expecting to see things so easily repaired. Hell of a work, but still doable.
First comment ✅... Nd happy holidays to everyone hope yall enjoy it 🎄💙
not much rollover protection in this vehicle!
Rollover protection isn't from the roof skin but from the pillars.
Its pretty much like this in every car
Looking good so far bro nice work 👍🏼👌🏼
Fuck yeah dude, great job with the music. Goes well with the rebuilding man. Keep up the good work, cant wait to see the next one.
,,if post Malone was a car guy,,
