Dude, you are absolutely insane, one for buying it for anywhere near 20k, I wouldn't give someone 1k for it and 2 for being willing to pump in an insane amount of time and money to rebuild it. Good luck my man.
Dont repaint it! Clearcoat it and let it tell the story, just add all the components back to it so itll run and drive like normal but dont take its beauty marks away!

Yap. I'm so used to seeing just nice cars bought. It feels really good to follow a story . Idk of you guys know but the r34 with the r35 guts. That's what hooked me to this
"Safety is the #1 priority here . . . " This said after they were standing under the car (and moving stuff around) while it was being held up by a forklift.
There's no such thing as a new one, they were discontinued a long time ago they only came out for one year, and it is literally just a hellcat engine, CEO has said multiple times that it is just the hellcat redeye engine but for the hellcat redeye they had to use a computer to tune down some of the powers so that it wouldn't outdo the demon because the demon has to be more exclusive
@@theshadowking9626 I figured people wouldve just knew what I meant using their common sense, but since I have to spell it out for you. When I say "new" I don't mean showroom-floor-with-2-miles new. I mean one that has lower miles, is in good shape, and isn't fucking roached. This generation of the demon is not even a decade old. So to most people it's a newer car. If you think 5 years is a "long time" you're clueless.
no you can't. you'd be constructing a chassis from scratch. the flames ruined a good 70-80% of the chassis. fire does things you can't see to the metal. i wouldn't trust it.
why did it catch fire, im wondering if it didn't have nitrous going through the intake. the block is probably cracked all the wiring is melted im sure what a job... this is gonna be so hard to fix
Taking into consideration the cars low production numbers I would treat this like a 1970 Hemi Challenger restoration and retain as much of the original car as possible replacing damaged panels and parts with OEM pieces only. It’s nicer than a classic restoration being you can still buy the parts from the dealer.
@@dopeman420 You make a strong point. We can only hope that in the future companies sell replacement parts for these machines like they do for the cars of the past. Including the computer modules. I’m restoring a 74 Cuda for a customer right now and you wouldn’t believe how poorly that car was built originally and how much plastic it has.
Couldn't imagine trying to restore a modern challenger to this degree without dealer support, and having to rely solely on an aftermarket. The cost would make a traditional 70's challenger resto look cheap by comparison.
Year one is certified by all dealerships for restoration and can produce every part outside the unibody itself for your needs from metal parts to plastic parts and everything in between. I have used Year one since 1992 and not been told no once for something I needed. Restored a 1971 Hemi Cuda, 1972 Challenger, 1974 Road Runner and a 1970 Dart.
Never seen a transmission like that before! My local track Milan Dragway in the Detroit area, a few yrs ago had a red Demon burn down after a burnt out. The tourqe converter apparently over heated. That engine will be fine. I have bought many LQ4 6.0L's from the junkyard, that were burned. They ran,and got sold.
Well you already bought it so may as well go full send! Curious to see how this turns out. When I was in the car business I always made the most money on stuff everyone else was scared of but yikes what a project.
Haven't watched the engine teardown yet, but I think it might surprise you. I'm expecting rust in the one or two cylinders that had an intake valve open, but I think the long-block will be rebuildable. Supercharger might be toast from the heat though.
I m totally in for projects like these! To make it to the end against all odds! Fun fact... In Greece the chassis is not regarded as a spare part, if your chassis is not fixable (or not economic viable to fix) you write off the whole car...
Agreed! I drove a forklift @FOMOCO in the Dearborn Mustang Assembly plant 30+ years. If a hydraulic hose happened to pop, your talking downward force of about 3ft per sec. I'm glad your safe!
Earned a new subscriber, you guys know how to make good content ! Best of luck on this rebuild . And if anything I got out of this vid , I’m happy and ready to join the automotive field and hopefully be able to learn how to rebuild and build any car I lay my eyes on !!!
I understand preserving a Demon, because of the namesake, but seriously, a demon crate engine is $22k, shouldnt have paid more that $10k for this chassis.
Excellent content. Sandblast the chassis black light it and repair any stress cracks. Definitely look salvageable. I would motor flush the motor, get it on an engine stand and give it some fuel spark and cooling, revolve it , change oil like 3x as long as you have strong oil pressure the piston rings may still seal for combustion. Those engines are bullet proof you may get lucky
Frankly I’m less worried about stress cracks and more worried about weakens sheet metal, if anyone has suggestions for portable sheet metal testers I’m all ears! Most of what I found tests 1/2” min.
sandblasting + chemical cleaning but anyway cars after fire rust like hell. Maybe a chance to safe it against the rust if use it somewhere in UAE but not sure
The heat compacting the spring reminds me of people lowering their cars in the early 2000s where you'd clamp the springs and apply a blowtorch to mishape them lol
This is an opportunity to showcase your vision, your skills, your team and your company so we want to see you move forward with the project! Will the project push and challenge you? Yes, but, you have shown your ability to navigate really difficult builds that separate you from the pack
Парни, сильно рискуете : металл кузова после пожара может изменить структуру, произойдёт отпуск. Тут надо очень тщательно проверять все сварные швы и желательно приварить в нагруженных местах накладки - усилители. Ну вы уже большие мальчики, сами всё знаете... 😁 P. S. Подписался. Хочу быть в курсе вашей работы...
In the final analysis, what you have is a Demon VIN. Find a wrecked Hell Cat to salvage from, or an SXT for body panels, and you may be able to restore a Demon. $$$
i'd be pretty bummed about the trans. but have no idea what kind of internal engine damage could have allowed that much coolant to get in to the system. wow. hope for the best!
I bought a scat pack that was burned worse than this years ago for parts. I drained the water out of the engine, put a new intake and valve covers on and have put 20k hard miles on it with no issue. I'm still using the spark plugs that came in the engine actually lol.
Your statement makes no sense. Burnt worse than that and all you did was drain water and add valcovers then put 20k miles on it? Absolutely no interior and all the dash and electronics burnt up? So tell us, was it really burnt worse?
@@shortthrow50 no I believe him I was there , I bought a Shelby GT 500 that same day and it was completely flooded . All I did was put a new intake and change the seat covers And I’m 15k miles deep hard driven with no issue . I’m still using the car freshener that came in the car lol !
@shortthrow50 you must have missed where I said "for parts", I put the engine in another car obviously. Common sense should have been enough to figure that one out.
Hey there. Your video came up suggested on my feed. Always great to find new content on car resto. Your cinematography looks great. I subscribed and can't wait to see more of this journey.
You know you could have took that $20,000 and bought a regular standard Dodge Challenger that had all the good parts on it that that one has and then bought some fender flares and a Dodge demon from the dealership and probably still had a good $10,000 left over. I know for a fact that rear spoiler and tail light assembly and gas filler cap is a lot cheaper than $20,000
Here’s an idea if you are continuing to keep the original body of that car just imagine real quick how sick it would be if you clear coated and preserved all of that burn rust out aesthetic kind of like how you see a lot of retro, Refab builds keep in the old rusty patina it will contribute to the story of the car imagine demon resurrection how crazy would that be? You could even name it the resurrected and maybe even add a couple crazy futuristic aesthetics as well too it kind a like the terminator type theme added to the paint scheme or some thing.
But hey, at least I can say that I rebuilt from the ground up to 1928 model J Duesenberg’s and sold them off at auction as a pair…. What do you have to show for it? 🤷🏻♀️
The only problem i know you may have in keeping the chassis is the smell. I worked on these burned cars for Cleveland Power and Performance and it is impossible to get that burned smell out of the interior even when completely removed.
I saw that roofline at 7:11 and knew right away that chassis is toast...if you had a fire hot enough to sag the roof, on a unibody car, that thing is gonna be as flimsy as a taco shell...about the only way to make that chassis usable is to full cage it from front to back, otherwise it's gonna slowly buckle and crumple in on itself every time you put power to the pavement...
3,300 made les keep it dat way! pops just got one this weekend same color as yalls boy, and man is it mint. Cant wait to see this one back on the streets!
I am new to the channel. But I think you are going to take a financial hit on this. I guess having a good you tube content and showing your skills as car builders you will most likely come out okay. But it is not like it is a holy grail car. Either way I will be back to check out the progress. LOL
I’m 8:30 into the video and I’m seeing it needs probably 200 hours of body fab plus new panels, new transmission, you have to manual swap it so 50 more hours of labor, full overhaul of the engine, new suspension all the way around with new hubs and axels and to top it all off new electric from the grill to the tail lights. My estimated rebuild time and cost is about 400 hours of labor and approximately 30,000 k in parts. Unless you have a whole sale supply place you use then it’s 400 hours and 15,000 k
The design from the fire on the body is very cool. Buff it down a little and hit it with clear coats ;^) Repairing a car with a crow bar and a Sawzall LOL!
Only the real car enthusiasts know that car is an absolute beast because of that open air intake right next to the headlight which means that the car was tuned and turbocharged which might have caused the engine to explode too.
Hey men i know it looks bad and unrepairable but i know you can do it im new to the Chanel but im seeing your energy and mennn i see you chasing the project and I really believe in youuuu u can do ittt!!! 😎😎
When I was 12 I said to my dad, "don't marry her," he did. One weekend my dad took me in the Jeep for a weekend in the mountains. We came back late Sunday and the house was cleaned out, bank account too. We lost everything, the house, business, it bankrupted us. Seeing this channel and this project reminded me of that fateful time. Though this car won't bankrupt you I believe it will be an expensive endeavor. If you're a stubborn man, and I believe you are, I would like to offer a name for this project car, Elaine,, that was the name of the $%#@ that my father was married to for a few months before she robbed us blind. In the end my father came out ahead and was quite successful, as I believe you and your team will be once this challenging project is complete.
As someone who doesn’t know anything about cars, I don’t know how you guys even had any idea where to start on this or how to even repair it. I wish I could work for you guys so I could learn how to work on vehicles and restoring them

i love the new demon you have the FIRE details are nice lol
Go for it...cant wait to see the process
The design from the fire on the body is very cool. Buff it down a little and hit it with clear coats ;^)
Repairing a car with a crow bar and a Sawzall LOL!

Only the real car enthusiasts know that car is an absolute beast because of that open air intake right next to the headlight which means that the car was tuned and turbocharged which might have caused the engine to explode too.
Hey men i know it looks bad and unrepairable but i know you can do it im new to the Chanel but im seeing your energy and mennn i see you chasing the project and I really believe in youuuu u can do ittt!!! 😎😎
You put a whole lot of faith in that forklift... be careful man, seen some pretty heavy videos that start like that.

This is a good learning video, it is awesome to see a reconstruction of my dream car. The whole style of the car looks amazing.
worked at a transmission remanufacturing plant, i worked on ford transmissions. can honestly say, thats not what they are supposed to look like 12:27
When I was 12 I said to my dad, "don't marry her," he did. One weekend my dad took me in the Jeep for a weekend in the mountains. We came back late Sunday and the house was cleaned out, bank account too. We lost everything, the house, business, it bankrupted us. Seeing this channel and this project reminded me of that fateful time. Though this car won't bankrupt you I believe it will be an expensive endeavor. If you're a stubborn man, and I believe you are, I would like to offer a name for this project car, Elaine,, that was the name of the $%#@ that my father was married to for a few months before she robbed us blind. In the end my father came out ahead and was quite successful, as I believe you and your team will be once this challenging project is complete.
As someone who doesn’t know anything about cars, I don’t know how you guys even had any idea where to start on this or how to even repair it. I wish I could work for you guys so I could learn how to work on vehicles and restoring them
15:58 "We've got some wires"...um no you have some copper strands....
New subscriber because of 0:21 - 0:33 I need that laugh thank you

The Gang took it for a spin just around the block..... This how it comes back.
the left side looks not bad! And the tires are good as new!
Your outtakes were spectacular bud!! If there were any doubts on the support you received on this car, I can safely say No Doubts whatsoever . 😅😂
They all said no because none of those idiots can either fix the car. Or want to restore a wrecked vehicle. SMH. Sighhhhh.
This is realling interesting keep going
