I BUILT THE WORLD'S FIRST MANUAL DODGE DEMON!

A year after buying a BEYOND totaled Dodge Demon at salvage auction for just under $20k, we've brought it all the way back from the dead!

Today we get the Demon started, driven and dyno'd for the first time! It might have taken a few spare Challenger Hellcats for parts (and one Redeye..) but we can OFFICIALLY say we've built the world's first manual Dodge Demon!

Have a wild Mopar build story of your own? Maybe you've bought a totaled Hellcat or Demon to turn into your dream car? Be sure to tell the story in the comments!

Check out the whole ScrapLife Family!

@scraplifegarage Congrats Lee! I snuggled up on the couch with a cooler containing my future kidney and we watched the video together. Worth waiting for.

ngl who else been camping this channel for this video lol

[UAlrKnoWhoItIs]

I love that you show your troubleshooting and mistakes. Most people would cut it out but it adds a lot more personality and realism to the video. Much respect and keep up the great content bro

UPLOAD!!! Literally just decided to check the channel again to see if another demon video was out. lo and behold. Glad to see it built, Done is a word rarely used on this channel.

[steelwheels]

Impressive Lee, you don't give yourself enough credit you're a pretty good mechanic and a lot of blood, sweat & tears with it ...i'd never get rid of it

[JStryker]

Now make the first Pacifica Demon with a manual

[Andrew-sjk]

CONGRATULATIONS! Thats a hell of an achievement and its been a blast to see it progress over the last year

[StormrageGaming]

I've been following this build since it began, I'm so glad I was able to see this through. Lots of thought put into it, lots of soul too. I learned a lot myself about rebuilding, the process of swapping harnesses and electronics and fuel and even things I never would have thought about. Makes me appreciate my little Daytona 392 that much more.

[derekp]

One word . Satisfied . Thank you for the great content! This build has been awesome the whole way .

[seriesmax]

Congratulations. You know it’s making power when you can’t hear the blower whining. Coolest build of 2024.

As an owner of a 2015 M6 Hellcat and an overall lover of anything manual trans, I've been super excited for this day! So happy for you Lee! 100% worth the blood sweat and tears. Can't wait for future updates about it!

Please add another couple ground straps to the motor from the It’s starting slow and will only burn up the alternator, the red eyes, demons require extra grounds. Also, don’t forget to make sure launch control and the line lock work

[RipRoaringGarage]

THANK I had the exact same problem with my Crown Vic. No crank. Eventually, I watched my own footage and found that the car would crank with the jumper connected to the bell housing. Not the body, so I found my engine ground strap to be toast.

I have been looking for a YEAR (maybe more) to find the right size o ring and cable, and just a glance from yours set me down the Mopar path, to a custom ground strap that was identical to mine, down to the exposed copper.

I just ordered them and I can start my baby. Big win for me too!

Finally, after over a year, the Demon lives! I've been waiting to hear it start for a long time and I am experiencing the same sigh of relief that the crew is.

[comfort_in_discomfort]

This has been my favorite project. I needed this, to see that there was still dedication to 3-pedal cars. Awesome!

[clashwithares]

This is without a doubt my favorite build series in all of youtube. I loved the comedy bits, all of the challenges you showed building it, and really just the entire process from start to finish. You guys have become without a doubt my favorite channel to watch and im ready to get started with my own project car. Maybe ill hit you guys up when its done and let you feature it in a video? *hint 2000hp gtr. But we’ll see

[malikdigger]

Making a modern Dodge Demon rebuild took three Hellcat & 1 Scapac Challenger's this was amazing series Scraplife Garage

[Bearded_Viking]

I KNOW HOW GOOD THAT MOMENT BOOIIII. CONGRATS AND GREAT WORK.

[ronzander]

I don't think I've ever seen you more excited to get a car running. It genuinely made me smile ear to ear to see your excitement as just getting the thing on the service road in front of your shop. I LOVE this build.

[JCMcustoms]

It’s crazy how EXCITED I am for you!! lol. 🤜🏻🤛🏻! Awesome job!!
