I watched this with my late father in law who was a career long haul driver starting in the late 70’s. We watched this a week before he lost his battle with cancer and his eyes lit up like a little boy. Thank you for sharing this amazing build, seeing that bit of joy in his last days is something I’ll always remember
Engine-$7000000, camera--$19.95
$10
Start of the art camera- In 1970
2.99
Yup, finally someone who has their priorities straight. I would be disappointed if one of those boys had a smart phone.

This is the most American thing I've ever seen! 🦅🇺🇸🦅
Ha right? No one else would even think about doing shit like this. Usa all the way!
No... they’re v12’s ... what a disappointment
This is build in South Africa.
This IS a great example of the American Spirit in Iron....
Jhon Marshal those Detroit v-12s are American made so MERICA
Sir do you know why I pulled you over? "Yea because I let you"
now this... this is gold
No, because I can’t see anything
because he ran out of fuel
a V24 Detroit with almost 4k hp, he's not getting very far
NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This guy is definitely going to be riding to the gates of Valhalla, shiny and chrome!
He's actually selling it for 12 million dollars right now lol.
@@imhappyandyou.4003 I heard it was sold already with a profit
@@TheNismo777 Don't know if it sold but he'll definitely make a profit.
Am I awaited???!!
He may have sold it to another believer. But his noble creation will assure he will be the man that grabs the sun, riding to Valhalla! Witness him!
That thing will pass everything on the road... except a fuel station.
Waylon Wilson 😂
0.001mpg
Lmao..
Fuel consumption measured in gallons per mile...
Tanker trucks will be at every gas station due to this rig, maybe a truck full of motor oil too if Mike Harrah needs to top up
When optimus prime starts juicing on energon.
For a second I thought it was the Peterbilt 379 that they used for optimus in the first 3 movies I personally think they shoulda done something like this
Autobots... get huge
Truth and freedom u must have a ton of friends
They are all in lovely little bubbles and are happy as long as it doesn't pop
@@trevoncowen9198 Autobots....
SWOLE-out.
"No officer, I DIDN'T see no Prius... I thought I hit a pothole..."
That thing needs a crazy heavy metal guitar guy on a bungee harness hanging off the front of it!
Underrated comment 🤣
@@mrhyde7019 just like Mad Max fury road!!!! Yeah i support that idea!!!!!!
😁👍
That would be great if that was in immortan Joe's Cadillac in the movie Mad Max Fury Road or the people eaters limousine.!!!!!
I think the Doof-mobile and a war-rig had a love child.
This is the most ridiculously obscene case of overkill I have ever seen! I LOVE it!!!
My dad being one of the best Detroit mechanics would of been very proud. Awesome job. My pop was Dean Cross
Incredible Marvel of one man’s dream and mechanical engineering truly a masterpiece
When you spend millions on a project and have to film it on a Nokia flip phone.
I'd make that trade
you're better off with a Nokia 130 phone .... than any smartphone on this planet.
@@AnalogDude_ Good point!🤣👍
I guess there's a lot of value in entertainment but for a practical standpoint he hooks up a sack of marbles onto his fifth wheel and that's his little bag of balls instead of really doing something for the country and Hauling Freight he's building 7 million-dollar trucks I highly doubt he knows what a gallon of milk costs
@@michaelvold3162 Good ol Merica
The mpg of this truck makes the Middle East cringe in fear.
So does my 99 expedition
It actually makes them jump for joy. They are, after all, selling the fuel.
@@indridcold8433 who says you have buy it?
@@darrenkastl8160 True. Diesel is very easy to make. I have made it on occasion when bored or when in a financial pinch. Diesel equivalent fuel can be made from many oils. It does not have to be petroleum. I made a large amount from old vegetable oil a few times. Used motor oil is also a good base to use, but it requires more work and is messy. Peanut oil bought in bulk is extremely easy to make into fuel and it does not smell bad like used vegetable oil and used motor oil. The secret ingredient is lye. I never tried making a petrol equivalent, if there even is a petrol equivalent that can be made at home. I need diesel or a diesel equivalent, not petrol.
8v71 4mpg,so this one must be feet per gallon
Imagine pulling up to your drivers test in this
That’s a rookie dream if I ever heard one- lol
What a massive, amazing engine. Just imagine hearing that thing in person. It must be mind blowing. I bet it shakes the ground around it.
7 million over 7 years? Yeah that's about what I spent keeping my Detroit running and full of oil for 7 years. It is cool !
If a detroit aint slobbering oil, it ain't running
DAYYYYUUMMMMM.
This is Detroit's answer to the Tesla. It should sell like hotcakes.
As unreliable as Tesla is currently, Detroit better just worry about it's ever decreasing quality, reliability, and styling. Right now, Tesla is not much of a threat. It is more a novelty. But if Detroit keeps its vehicles on the downward spiral to oblivion, Tesla may not seem so unreliable, bland, and cramped soon. At work, we got two of them to join the fleet but they were rather unreliable and will likely be sold at auction at the end of the year. But soon, Detroit's junk, if it keeps up its decay, will be far inferior to Tesla then good bye GM, Ford, Fiat/Chrysler.
Just read a thing it cost him 7 million to build it and it sold for 12 million
Where's the sense of humor.?
unknown user you know nothing about trucks. Stay in your lane.
Remember that TESLA IS AMERICA MADE! ELECTRIC MUSCLE. I love great engineering and mechanics
now go guzzle a 1/2 gallon of $4.30 diesel or gas.
Human beings that can create masterpieces like this one should never be angered.
Because wood and fiberglass are sooo dangerous 😂😂😂😂🖕👌 bro shit is fake
You definitely gave new meaning to go big or go home!! Coolest dam thing I’ve ever seen! No doubt it could gather some gone!!!
So this is how he has been getting around to all the children's houses before Christmas! Those aren't reindeer they're ponies how could we have gotten it wrong for so long!
Lmao nice!
Had no idea this was still being worked on, nevermind finished. Cant wait to see more videos of it.
The truck looks good, what blows me away is the engineering it took to get that motor setup to come to life. Well done gents.
I remember reading about this build when it was a block and frame. Just praying for the day it ran
This thing should enter SEMA. Like a boss
The thing should be entered into Valhalla, shiny and chrome.
Indrid Cold
NOTHING in Valhalla is “shiny and chrome.” In Valhalla, everything is useful metals dinged up and dull from use and are covered in blood....
Nothing gets to Valhalla by being polished!
isema is an industry show. if you want to really be in it, inside the convention center, you have to partner with some business like a big aftermarket manufacturer or an OEM. you aren't really allowed to just "enter" it like a regular car show unless you want your car outside.
Cool idea. It would have its own category
1:13 for once that train horn seemed like an understatement
Should have used a ships fog horn
@@lovepcgaming2335 nah, he should have used a raid siren 🚨 😂
@@TheNuclearBolton I used to like raid sirens. Till I woke my veteran sister up from a nap with the sound of 1 coming through my speakers.
I'm now educated on what that sound does to soldiers and won't use one.
Badass motor but I was worried the whole time his beard would get caught in the belts .
Ikr that crossed my mind too lol
But why does his beard have a curve in it?
I was worried it was gonna get caught on fire when he was leaning over the pipes and it started revving up
Truth be told, it's fascinating that this guy's brain was capable of creating this engine yet he is stupid enough to not even respect the most basic safety precautions imaginable.
Thankfully the video title wasn't "wizard's beard gets sucked into blower belt *mature content*", but I was still worried😬
His "swear" jar probably had $250,000 in it at the completion of this project
If I hadn't see it,
I wouldn't have believed it.
Art work ,engineering
With that beard and with that truck, he ought to be made an honorary member of ZZ Top!
When you spend 7 million dollars on your engine and only have 3 dollars left for for the camera
It’s good you accomplish your goal cost a lot of money I’m sure you have a good sponsor. My thing is you can’t really see through the window because the engine is so tall. Great job guys it is a beast
I remember seeing that motor on the cover of Hot Rod years ago. Glad to see it finally on the road!
Honey I've gotta go do something. See you in 7 years
Zeppelin L at least you know he didn’t have to hear her complain for nearly a decade
She likely did not complain after the project either. Who could dislike that masterpiece of brute strength and chrome?
“ and can I have all our credit cards please?”
Honey, I'll be back I had a brain fart of an idea, well shit the bed Fred. Love the idea.
WIFE= (7yrs.later) honey come inside diners ready!
After defeating the Decepticons, Optimus got into steroids
This is one of the sickest things I have seen in 48 years. Fantastic.
I saw clips of this when the engine was being barely built and tested and now it's up and rolling!
One crazy bastard, KING OF EXCESS !!!
GOOD GOD I LOVE IT !!! 🤜🤛👊
The “shovel” front grill is just poetry. 😎
It is rather reminiscent of the cow catchers of steam locomotives of old. What a tribute to the original monster machine! I wonder if it was intensional.
Ficou maravilhoso, parabéns pela idealização do projeto.
luv to have known what the patrol cop thought 🤣 Brilliant work of art & craftsmanship 👍
I remember being 16 finding out about this rig. It was just 2 engines on a wood frame I think? Glad to see it's finished and drivable.
This is the most badass thing I've seen in a while
For the first time in my life I'm speechless that is f****** over-the-top awesome there's nothing in the dictionary to describe I love it
I Friggin' LOVE This Truck!
Good God man!.... was that 3,000 hp at 1,500 rpm!? It's crazy. I love it! Money well spent.
I guess you're right when you can wipe your ass with $100 bills money well spent if you make it you might as well spend it because that's what everybody does you can't take it with you hooked to his fifth wheel he probably has a sack of two pea-sized ball bearings
Well ...it is a diesel....imagine the torque....to achieve that hp at slow rpm.
3,425 bhp all up
When asked how much boost? Reply “all of it”!
Now see you did it correctly too. I hate when people put "Yes". Not only does that NOT answer the question, it doesnt even sound funny.
Did he said he was running nitrous too ? How I are the heads not exploding with supercharger and no one hell of a deep soup bowl pistons and destroyed I'm guessing?
@@scottskinner577 how long does it take to bleed all them no tanks before loading up the lines with nitrous
They are 12v71 Detroit's it's a 2 stroke Diesel they are pretty bulletproof aside from their governor rack sticking in them running awaybut this guy would have updated that so it's not an issue. Nitrous won't hurt them they are industrial diesel motors they're pretty bulletproof especially when built
Or as much as it wants!!!
Simply put.. Its a beautiful beast!
Bravo Mike! Go on! You are the best!
RESPECT TO THIS MAN.
something my dad would trip on and he could do it god bless the old man love mike
This screams America in so many different ways 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
How can he see when driving?
Flipping Nutz and Cool at the same time... would love to see this at the Philly auto show if it’s not to late to get it in. Don’t think they would say no...👍
Time and money. The solution to all problems.
You forgot explosives
Talent, delirium and drugs should make your short list.
Time, money, diesel, and petrol solve all issues.
Well it sure ain't DIVERSity
@@UA-camDeletesComments Diversity only gives more options. It solves nothing. But I guess he made a, lot of choices in his build also.
Legend had it this truck was last spotted getting a speeding ticket going up the El Cajon pas on i15 hauling dual trailers.
Good luck 😃
Amazing project!!!
C'mon!
C'mon!
C'mon!
Let's go space truckin'!
That mf look like a beast Michael bay gone wish he got a hold of this right here. Optimus prime on steroids ladies and gentlemen.
Thats on more than steroids
That is one righteous motorman I've been a diesel head all my life that just made my day awesome
God did bless you when you thought of doing this amazing master piece and got it done, my hat off to you sir.
Don’t get your beard caught in the belts and pulleys!!!!!
He is a Viking making his way to Valhalla. Do not mock him.
or the skill saw ,,, that would be bad mmmmkayy !
Those engines would fit nicely in my S-10 4X4. lol.
Holy cow! That is the most HP i ever seen in a semi.
na go to the outback in ausi
Nothing beats excessive compulsive, well maybe this does! Love it!
I can only imagine the carnage if that thing decided to run away.
Casey Jones lol
If it did run away what would you stuff into the intake to choke it out? I guess that would all depend on who was standing the closest to the intake and if they had a rather large mid section. Cause Skinny dudes would be spit right out of an exhaust valve. LMAO
Casey Jones lmao! Yeah,
Imagining a hydro lock on this would be a finale for sure. Wouldn’t want to be standing within 50’ of that thing. I’d be like ever see 7mil go up In flames ?🔥 Your comment still has me almost tears. Hella funny!
@@Calgon20something LMAO. Most of us know it wouldn't take but a minor cylinder imbalance or a rack flutter for that SOB to start to hiccup, fart and burp before the BIG BOOOM.
Casey Jones or! Even better, imagine this thing lighting up backwards. The two stroke Detroit back shimmy. Fire and shit coming out the nostrils...
That beasts definitely got some blind spots haha, how the hell do you see where your going?.. oops did I just squash a car then lol
When you drive the Thor24 war-rig, you do not have to worry about who you hit anx destroy. It will be their privilege to be destroyed by Thor24! If I saw that in my rear view mirror, I would slow down to let it destroy me. This will assure I get to Valhalla, shiney and chrome.

He took it through the McDonald's drive thru. That McDonald's does not exist anymore. Rip
It's not legal to drive on the road.
@@jeffbaumann3289 I HOPE NOT.

Wow, i can't believe the job this men did, amazing, what inteligent.
"how much fuel does it burn?"
"How fast is the speed of light?"😂

Immortan Joe called. He wants his wives back and his war rig. He does, however, thank you for polishing up his war rig.
@Roy Mazingo Unfortunately, I think you are right. If it is not something about Kartrashians or someone saying something slightly offensive to failing students blocking traffic, it is forgotten in a few days.
Everyone gets worth replying not really unless your a 15year old .
Glad to see this monster ! And the working gears ⚙️! A lot of control I imagine.
If I didn’t know any better I’d swear that truck could probably be the next mad Max movies
How does he even see around the engines to see where he's going? It's badass tho.
Is it DOT complaint? Visibility for driver is it obstructed?
'Murica.
Duh. 😳
It’s all about the looks , man
Probably cameras
Most drivers ride with the seat on the floor, you know, the gangsta look, and then then wonder how they drove over the back of the four wheeler, seeing is an option long as you're cool.
At this point you might as well connect it to a generator and move the truck with a traction motor off of a locomotive
Inan Ismailov unfortunately the earth would spin backwards if your suggestion was followed through .
That would make it less powerful.
Would love to see this in a Video Game!
That sketch should be made into a poster! I’d buy it!
It’s truly bad ass but how the hell do you see over the engines sitting so high?
It is not really built to drive it's a show queen and trailer queen there nowhere but the desert you would have anuff room to turn it around
Curtis Mcquiston boy that’s the truth!
There are some cameras at the front
Felix E. Ha Ha! Good one!
Easy just go by feel when driving 😉
That's ummmmmm. Yeaaaaa. Bring it to Tennessee. I would like to take a ride in that beast. To think that came from his mind. One if a kind until someome says hold my beer and tries to big a bigger one.
Well time to build a V48 engine
@@americanpanzer4163 Make that a W128 Engine
You guys are amazing. What a creation. If you pass me with this truck, you will literally blow the doors off my slow Pete. Lol
Awesome semi I'm impressed.... Talk about OVERKILL !!!! I like I like !!!
This thing g is beyond beautiful awesome creation it's seriously a masterpiece
It's a thing of beauty. I never could imagine how long it took to build it. Good luck.
Well, it sold for 12 million at auction overseas this week, 11-26-19. They have the money to spare in the desert.
money and oil to spare!
Nah, not the desert, it's paradise.
What use for this behemoth, is worth 12 mil? Da faq. Insane, dude is sitting pretty without this gargantuan noisemaker taking up real estate.
That's $5 mil profit over 7 years of doing something he obviously loves doing. Not a bad income.
@@jbbuzzable He owns a fleet of helicopters and airplanes. This was just a project for him. He's big on philanthropy, he's built a few wings on hospitals and schools.
I worked on an old triple Cactus Drilling rig with 2 V12 Detroits on the floor. The sound takes me back.
I saw the early video of him doing the engine and thought it was buts honestly never thought it was going to go anywhere other then maybe taken to shows and completely forgot about it, now I see the truck it's in and holy moly that thing is insane...
This would have Great in the Mad Max Movies
The creator of Thor24 will not have to worry about his immortal soul. He is the man that grabs the Sun, riding to Vahalla! There is no way he could not go to the gates of Valhalla after his creation we all witnessed. He probably started the build with the words, "I am awaited! Witness me!" Then he started the 7 year build.
@@indridcold8433 oml dude stop your commenting on almost every post like this truck yours
@@C4AJ I just want it to be mine. I am sure many understand.
Starguard ! Guy
But does it have cup holders. Congrats on the sale of the Beast you are a smart businessman.
Congratulations man!!!
That beast rocks!!!!
I want to see it rolling at full capacity
Jesus Mendoza..... If you want to see it "rolling at full capacity".... you will have to go to Saudi Arabia.
I just like really love the nice and powerful v-12 engine😄😄😄😄😄
this is freaking amazing I want one for my Honda Civic mint
The funny thing is this engine is probably almost the size of 2 civics by itself
That setup probably weighs as much as 5 civics.
I need this so when DOT tries to pull me over, I can disappear within seconds...lol
His other car is the Mad Max Interceptor.
And he'll catch up after you run out of diesel 5 miles later..lmao
Lol
I need that engine for my 66 VW Beatle.
That damn things bigger than a beetle lol hell it's bigger than a 50s eera caddy😂🤣
You sir get my like for you’re extremely over the top boldacity!
That engine needs to be in a NTPA unlimited tractor singin down 300 ft of track somewhere!!!
The 6 cylinder diesels with a couple turbos are making same or more hp, and keeping it under the stock hood on a tractor.
@@ronaldgentry9923 yeah I know, but they don't look as cool!!
Would've been cool to feature it in Mad Max, to recoup some of the insane money sunk into it
It just sold at auction for like 12 or 13 million dollars
King Of All Trucks.
Awesome brother just freaking Awesome
If anyone has to ask why?
The only answer is --- Because !!!
What a feat of "back street " engineering
Looks more like 3 V8 engines bolted together from where I’m looking🤔, either way, nice project!👍
I thought the same thing. But I do not care. 24 pistons working to drive a monstrous machine is a beautiful thing to me, whether two V12 engines or three V8 engines.
I like the fact that it is outragious, and that it actually runs and drives.
Absolutely ridiculous,.... and I think I ❤️ it.🤩
