Congratulations! You’re probably one of the few shops in the country that could accomplish this build. It will be awesome watching the process and the final result!!!🥳🥳🥳

@@tishaanderson6367It’s easy to just swap the drivetrain into another Challenger, but if you actually want a real Demon 170 the hard part is saving the car

Lee this is one of those "Some assembly required!" cars! Those thieves should be tarred and feathered in hot oil! I think if you can find a decent Challenger chassis you will be able to make the most authentic Demon 170 clone in existence and get some awesome content as well! I hope to see more on this build!
iv seen a ring door bell camera of this exact demon stolen an its on youtube shorts too . crazy seeing you picked it up an bringin it back from the dead great show
Man the original owner has some serious misfortune. Like they didn't even get to enjoy this car yet and it was already snatched from their hands and torn apart.
@@desertsandfly2277that’s the really sad part about this whole situation. These savages out here are straight ruthless, doing this shit to such a beautiful car, I’d honestly hope it was stolen from a dealership instead of a private owner that went out and saved their hard earned money and brought her home.
Not sure about direct connection but concerning the color of oil. Some manufacturers break in oil is green. But i use Schaffer's Race Oil and it Green also. Yours looked more like a break-in oil. Just food for thought. A hellephant crate and its contents. Cost way more than your purchase price. If you can find one. And then you still have to purchase a transmission, not to mention a stought rear end. If engine is ok. Then you got a steal on this once in a lifetime find. You the Man!!
I love love love you save cars or trucks, i always say, we just saving the car, did spendle today took a hour flat to do it. Fact is i respect you, and i love you save cars. Honestly so much love for what you do.
DOOD. I just now realized something. Your addiction to building those is exactly like us AR 15 guys. I build 1 and have like 2 or 3 parts left over. So I'm like... lets build another one! Next thing I know I'm giving them away for presents to family and friends cause i made so many. So I understand, brother. You had some Demon parts left over. As a man it was incumbent upon you to use those parts to "restore" and save another Dodge.
@@memesthatmyclassairdrop7336 Well, seeing how I'm retired LEO, I think I'm well aware of the gun laws. It's 100% legal to give them away. Or, sell them even. So individuals. As long as they do not express the INTENT to commit a crime.
That would be profoundly impractical. For some vehicles like a Ford Taurus or Toyota Camry that may have been easy. But rare stuff like this, the numbers are so low it's impractical to make that many replacement parts.
