Ha, I heard someone say "Bring the Thunder!" when you were trying to start the car. This is what is so cool about the car community. When Holley (sp?) stepped in with 4 or 5 guys just to get your car running really shows how dedicated these people are to get your Challenger running. But she finally ran and drove under her own power! Congratulations! It's just amazing what you've accomplished here. Really great job!
I owned my 89 camaro for nine months now. Bought it for $500 and have put so much heart and soul into it. Rebuilding everything. I mean at one point I asked myself if this car had ever had a part changed on it. But a few days ago I was finally able to get plates for her and tags. Now she is fully legal for the road and I have been absolutely enjoying driving her. Such a beautiful car and just a ton of fun. I laugh every time I think about how a year ago this car wasn't running at all. And now she bursts to life everytime I turn the key. Of course I still have more to do. But I am really proud. Glad you were able to get the challenger going Dylan. Keep on keeping on.
Dylan, I think that everyone whom have watched you re- build this neglected amd forgotten Challenger, felt exactly as you did when it roared to life and it moved under it's own power and it was amazing! The shaking, sweating, anxiety, and nail biting was warranted! But the feeling of it finaly coming to life and moving had to be intoxicating. You've had great support from the industry, and most of all family. That is the best anyone could ask for! Now, I believe we're all anticipating the final satisfaction, of the massive first roast of those tires!!! Congratulations!!!
She is such a beauty, Dylan!!! I was cheering at the computer screen when I saw you fire her up for the first time! I wish my Dad could have been here to see this! He would have loved it so much! Great job, and thank you so very much!
I know the feeling of finally finding the problem and having the nervous shake of "will this finally work?" "will it run?" And then it works finally you have the best heart feeling of accomplishment. Glad to see you got the old gal going! Hopefully one day I can do the same for my old 49
Great, GREAT build! I had a '73 Charger back in '83 when I was 16, bright yellow, red trim and black vinyl top. Same weak 318 as the original in your car. I had so many plans for that car; but, I joined the Army the next year and the I passed the car on to my brother. The work that you put into bringing this old Challenger back to life is inspiration.
I've enjoyed watching this entire build. Its been quite a journey for you and the car. Great work. Waiting to see it finally finished and on the road. 👍
Hey, I'm from Indonesia, u know.. Nowhere.. And i really enjoying ur series, oh yes.. I watch it from ep 1, and I'm also happy that challenger finally run for the first time! Cheers mate 🍻
Dylan an amazing job bringing this Challenger back to life! I reminds me a lot of the 73 Challenger with 340 & Pistol Grip Four Speed & the same color that I bought back in 1980! I was the third owner & it was in basically almost new condition. I sold it to a guy who totalled it in less than a month! That was a sad day seeing it destroyed at the local body shop! Anyhow I really enjoy your channel & this build! As always I am looking forward to the next video!
Well it’s about time! And a big thumbs up to Holley for jumping in, no questions asked and finding the issue. Nice to see companies helping out there customers 1 on 1!
So glad you have her running again. I learn to drive in my bothers 1971 Challenger R/T 440 magnum six pack. Same pistol grip shifter. When I saw the shifter in this video I was instantly transported back. I could feel the grip and see the that yellow orange glow from the reverse light. It was amazing. Thank you so much for that memory. All the best!
I actually had a sigh of relief when it fired up. And it’s not even my car! I’m proud of you, Dylan, as I’m sure that your dad is, too. You are a direct reflection of your parents, their hard working attitudes, and grounded principles. You thanked a lot of people, but it is we, the general public, that also owe thanks to you, for providing us with insight, entertainment, and inspiration. And, with that, I must get back to work on my 1980 D150 ClubCab pickup. See you on the boulevard! (Honey! Get ahold of Copart and locate a Hemi for me, will ya?)
I hope you didn't catch the Coronavirus there. Stay healthy, Dylan. 4:10 Imagine this with a 1986 Pontiac TransAm KITT replica 16:24 Holy smokes! All the sweat, tears and dedication finally paid off. The ear-to-ear smile on your face when it finally started is priceless. The joy of victory.
Congratulations Dylan! These are the moments in life that you will always remember, appreciate and always be thankful for everyone who helped you get to this point, God bless!
Dylan .. Look man ! Im 32 years old , From Giza in Egypt . I dun know much about mechanics but i do learn through videos and all of that via youtube Its actually my dream to be professional enough so that i could do at least 10% of what u have done to ur car . I wont lie and i will admit it .. i've been watching all the videos u made about reviving this challenger and man ! ,, the min i heard her roaring after 36 years , i couldnt help myself and had my eyes in tears for real .. Im really hope that my time comes and have my immigration process done so i could have a chance to witness all that in real , cause in my country here its too rare to find old american cars and thats what i really want , is to own an old american car & also for sure to be with my wife back again .. damn its been so long since i saw her . I wish u the best Dylan .. u r doing real good work , u did revive the dead and u had ur miracle Way to go ..
I have been watching your videos on this car from the start. The smile on your face hearing it run says it all. I had the same smile on my face when I started my newly rebuilt engine for the first time last weekend.
I watch the series straight through and just finished... congratulations on your build it's definitely some of the best UA-cam out there!!! Really makes me miss my 66 Chevelle
I must admit, vicarious as it was, I was looking forward to this moment. It is a huge accomplishment, and as you said, "small victories end up winning the war." Even if it comes down to one pesky wire; you stick with it and overcome the inner desire to give up and let frustration have its way, it is a testimony of perseverance. I'm glad for you brother, keep up the good work. 2Co 2:14 Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.
Love The series. Awesome dedication and hard work. Can't underestimate the importance of dads. I'm an old man of 74, what i would give to see my father again.
Am also glad to see the muscle of olden days running health after many years.You did a great job for those who love cars and especially Dodge Challenger Charger. Very happy to hear the engine.
It was very cool running into you at the parts store. I very much look forward to the upcoming videos we spoke about. Best of luck for your continued success!
Brother I have watched every episode of this build. And enjoyed every one of them.. I'm kinda jealous and envious of you during the times u and ur dad r working together.. I lost my dad 5 years ago and miss him much.. enjoy the time u have with ur dad man.. and cherish those moments..
watching this series gave me inspiration to start my own project. I've always wanted to do a restoration project but I never thought I would be able to not having any experience but a few months after finding your channel I came across an old all but abandoned 66 mustang v8 In my new boss's yard. I immediately bought it about 7 months ago not knowing what I was getting myself into but you inspired me to try. the day I got that engine to fire up was like pure euphoria and present day she's nearly road worthy. I just want to say thanks for your videos and inspiration
The yellow headlights really makes the front end pop! I used to think you should take the dingers and dents out but it really grows on me with its characteristics. Good job! Love it!
My favorite part is how some feller said " bring the thunder" good job dylan I'm so happy to see the challenge run under her own power good job. Bring the thunder
This roadrunner styled front grill is such a badass look for the challenger. You really outdid yourself in this one man, congratulations on the build, been binge watching your videos for a while now
Dylan I'm so glad to hear it running!!! I could see it in your eyes that you were emotional about it. Almost made me cry bro..lol. It just goes to show that with hard work and dedication great classic cars can be brought back to life. I wish I had a Mustang Mach 1 to work on. Are you going to do any bodywork later? I have learned SO much from you and the car community that you hang with (Junkyard Digs, Thunderhead289 etc). My father had a Mach 1 when I was a kid. I remember helping him in the garage and loving it. Unfortunately he has passed on. I would love something to work on. I live in NY State and a lot of the classics are rusted pretty bad because of snow. I've been looking for barn finds but no luck. Maybe someday I'll get lucky. As far as your car I would grid all the paint off till it's chrome then just clear coat it so it has that Delorean look lol. Peace.
@DylanMcCool I'm sure you had tears hearing the sound of the engine when it first started after the wires were done right. I sure did. Thanks a lot for the videos! All the best for future endeavors!
Hey Dylan, would love to a separate final video on the Dodge Challenger, you have shown us everything us in so much detail, its like we have been in this journey together. Take out out the car on a drive and let us enjoy it too, show us the finished interiors as well. We would like to see the car running in action for more than 2 mins. Also great work on the car. Lots of respect for your hard work and passion. Keep it up man.
13/10/20 Dylan, Terrific videos! So glad you got the ‘73 challenger done. You come across as a really nice, honest bloke too; and no fowl swearing (on screen) is a great relief with easy down-to-earth commentary. I limited myself to watching 2 parts/day -couldn’t get enough of it. Resto is something I’ve always wanted to do but don’t have the nous. Thanks Mitchell Australia, Oprah’s been here.
Congrats, seeing the smile in this video tells me how happy you are to accomplish this. just enjoy what you have done. I personally have enjoyed following your journey on this project.
Dylan I am so proud of your dedication to a McCool car. You have done a fantastic job on her. I loved watching you bring her back. Best of luck on what's next!
Outstanding! Yes of course the Mopar journey back to life story here is fantastic but it’s also terrific to see your Dad, Mom and car part family support this moment. Look forward to the next vid.
It's always a good day when a motor fires up for the first time. Don't worry about the slight mess up on the wiring, that stuff mystifies me too. Glad you got it sorted out at the show.
I've also got a restoration project and after years of hard detail work I will reach the reassembly stage very soon. This moment when you start the completed car for the first time must feel incredibly good. I am really looking forward to it.
I was waiting to hear the first sound of the engine start..And the Lion wakes up with Roar after 36 yrs.. This came to be possible by your Hard Work and Effort.. 'Congratulations'
Awesome show. Great job on the car. Yes, you are so right,! When you find out why the car is losing power!! I have a 73 Dodge Charger. I was losing power, battery going dead. Until I went through all the wiring. I found a bad wire! The wire that was connected to the alternator, and the fuseable link fried. It’s fixed now, and the car run great. It’s awesome to get in and drive your car. Looking forward to seeing your next video. God bless, take care.
Loved seeing the car go from the dead to a beautiful treasure. Can't wait to see what you do to it next. I enjoy getting up every morning to watch the video.
On mine I dropped in the rebuilt 340 but the machine shop forgot to modify the steel crank for the auto trans. I pulled it out and they modified the crank. Put the engine back but the rear seal was now messed up, pulled it again, fixed the seal. Dropped it back in but no start. The brand new resistor was bad. Delayed my first start by weeks. Glad yours started.
Glad you made it to Bowling Green. I stumbled on your channel and just enjoy watching it. I’ve got an old ‘63 F-100 unibody just sitting in the back at my house in BG. You guys give me inspiration that I’ll crawl under again after 40 years!
She's an amazing car that's just gonna keep getting better! Glad you saved it and now it's time to start enjoying the fruits of your labor....PRICELESS!
It was a great moment! I wish I would have a moment to see the Challenger in person! I was so happy to see it back on the road! All support from the Philippines!
I was just thinking a couple days ago, "what happened to the challenger build. Hope he didn't get frustrated and give up, it's been a while" Next day I see this, awesome work! I can't wait to see the end result when the interior is all buttoned up. Two thumbs up!!
Great video Dylan the challenger sounds great. I’m glad you were able to get the injectors figured out. Cherish every moment you can working with your dad!!!! Some of the best times you’ll never forget!!
nice man, good to see it start up and drive. learnt alot from you so thank you, been watching this challenger for 8 or 9 months now and it was really worth it :)
Just binged watched this series , you’re the nicest dude ever, probs won’t ever see this but congrats dude nice work. Dedication paid off glad to see it. Take care Dylan
12:40 The black hatch was a 1989 Shelby CSX, a Dodge Shadow with 174-hp turbo 2.2L, beefed up suspension, 16" wheels and tires, and a 5-speed manual. They were capable of running in the low 15's, at a time when an 8 second 0-60 time was acceptable. Super rare car.
You guys are great. Thank you for supporting the build for so long.
What intake are you using?
I would like WHEN this starts up u fix the original engine
Stock 5.7 Hemi with an LS throttle body. Bought the filter from O’Reilly.
Good job bro....🖒🖒🖒
Thanks for sharing all your work. I was glad to hear it run too! Pretty cool!!!
Ha, I heard someone say "Bring the Thunder!" when you were trying to start the car. This is what is so cool about the car community. When Holley (sp?) stepped in with 4 or 5 guys just to get your car running really shows how dedicated these people are to get your Challenger running.
But she finally ran and drove under her own power! Congratulations! It's just amazing what you've accomplished here. Really great job!
The best and the most emotional moment for a car guy
Without a doubt!
Emotional for a Guy!
😎
Patience....and easy.....on good days, can be a galaxy apart.

Was awesome to see in person. I was the dude that showed you the video of my 66 coronet sedan w the 440 and 4-speed
That smile on your face when it started was priceless
its always the firsts that get ya, isn't it? First crank, first start, first drive. Congrats on these firsts. Waiting to see many, many more.
She is such a beauty, Dylan!!! I was cheering at the computer screen when I saw you fire her up for the first time! I wish my Dad could have been here to see this! He would have loved it so much! Great job, and thank you so very much!
Way to go. I know that frustration. It is nice when someone comes along and figures it out. Hard to think straight when you are that frustrated
I know the feeling of finally finding the problem and having the nervous shake of "will this finally work?" "will it run?" And then it works finally you have the best heart feeling of accomplishment. Glad to see you got the old gal going! Hopefully one day I can do the same for my old 49

Thank you Dylan, mom and dad.That thing is sweet. Good job guys it was worth the wait.
You must be thrilled.
Thankyou for bringing us along and sharing your passion.
Omg, i've waited so long for this!
I've enjoyed watching this entire build. Its been quite a journey for you and the car. Great work. Waiting to see it finally finished and on the road. 👍
Teared up a bit hearing and seeing the car move. So inspiring and motivational!!

Dylan shows you exactly how to do everything. Other shows are not as detailed. He explains thoroughly and precisely. This guy is good!
Your persistence is beautiful
Been watching since the start love to see this
I hope you didn't catch the Coronavirus there. Stay healthy, Dylan.
4:10 Imagine this with a 1986 Pontiac TransAm KITT replica
16:24 Holy smokes!

It was very cool running into you at the parts store. I very much look forward to the upcoming videos we spoke about.
Best of luck for your continued success!

My favorite part is how some feller said " bring the thunder" good job dylan I'm so happy to see the challenge run under her own power good job. Bring the thunder
Love your wholesome content, keep up the strong mana. Cheers mate.
Yeah it was great to meet and talk with you! Can't wait to see that car roll down the road in the future!
Sometimes that little help from great people is all you need. Keep up the good work Dylan. Greetings from a Belgian car guy
Congrats on the first drive! Great project! Thanks for sharing!
What we have all been waiting for man! This is such an awesome series!
This roadrunner styled front grill is such a badass look for the challenger. You really outdid yourself in this one man, congratulations on the build, been binge watching your videos for a while now
Dylan I'm so glad to hear it running!!! I could see it in your eyes that you were emotional about it. Almost made me cry bro..lol.

I live in NY State and a lot of the classics are rusted pretty bad because of snow. I've been looking for barn finds but no luck. Maybe someday I'll get lucky.

so happy you got that mopar runnning man,i know the feeling.got my 73 road runner and 52 plymouth running on the road now,feels like a dream!
Stoked for you! Brought tears to my eyes to see you start her up! Well done! Such a huge accomplishment to save this old girl!
So glad to see it run. I was missing your video for the last two weeks. It has been a labor of love. I’m happy for you. Continue on with this project.
Congrats,young man you deserve a lot of credit for staying with it. Enjoy!!!

Dylan,
Terrific videos! So glad you got the ‘73 challenger
done.
You come across as a really nice, honest bloke too;
and no fowl swearing (on screen) is a great relief with easy down-to-earth commentary. I limited myself to watching 2 parts/day -couldn’t get enough of it.
Resto is something I’ve always wanted to do but don’t have the nous.
Thanks Mitchell
Australia, Oprah’s been here.
Congrats, seeing the smile in this video tells me how happy you are to accomplish this. just enjoy what you have done. I personally have enjoyed following your journey on this project.
Dylan I am so proud of your dedication to a McCool car. You have done a fantastic job on her. I loved watching you bring her back. Best of luck on what's next!
been watching this series since Ep. 1.....goodjob Dylan for making this thing useable again!
Outstanding! Yes of course the Mopar journey back to life story here is fantastic but it’s also terrific to see your Dad, Mom and car part family support this moment. Look forward to the next vid.
It's always a good day when a motor fires up for the first time. Don't worry about the slight mess up on the wiring, that stuff mystifies me too. Glad you got it sorted out at the show.
I've also got a restoration project and after years of hard detail work I will reach the reassembly stage very soon. This moment when you start the completed car for the first time must feel incredibly good. I am really looking forward to it.
I was waiting to hear the first sound of the engine start..And the Lion wakes up with Roar after 36 yrs..
This came to be possible by your Hard Work and Effort..
'Congratulations'
Okay that is amazing! Now we need to see hooning and track videos. Straight pipes!!
Great to hear the old Mopar run. Thanks for taking us along.....Can't wait for the next project.
Congrats Dylan! That was a great series to watch from beginning up till the start with key. Thanks for taking the time to film this journey man.
That engine, what a satisfying sound that is! Congratulations on getting to such a huge moment, can't wait for the rest of it.
Progress looks good. Keep it up. More tech videos please! Show the nitty gritty!
It was so awesome meeting you and seeing this car at the MoParty! Pretty soon you'll have this beaut on the road!
Awesome show. Great job on the car. Yes, you are so right,! When you find out why the car is losing power!! I have a 73 Dodge Charger. I was losing power, battery going dead. Until I went through all the wiring. I found a bad wire! The wire that was connected to the alternator, and the fuseable link fried. It’s fixed now, and the car run great. It’s awesome to get in and drive your car. Looking forward to seeing your next video. God bless, take care.
Loved seeing the car go from the dead to a beautiful treasure. Can't wait to see what you do to it next. I enjoy getting up every morning to watch the video.

Dropped it back in but no start. The brand new resistor was bad. Delayed my first start by weeks. Glad yours started.
Glad you made it to Bowling Green. I stumbled on your channel and just enjoy watching it. I’ve got an old ‘63 F-100 unibody just sitting in the back at my house in BG. You guys give me inspiration that I’ll crawl under again after 40 years!
She's an amazing car that's just gonna keep getting better! Glad you saved it and now it's time to start enjoying the fruits of your labor....PRICELESS!
What a joy it was to see the look on your face as you got out the car after it started for the frist time with its new motor.
It was a great moment!
I wish I would have a moment to see the Challenger in person!
I was so happy to see it back on the road!
All support from the Philippines!
🏁🏁🏁 I know you’re so happy to have the Challenger move under it’s own power. You’ll get there one day at a time. Hope you have a Blessed One Sir.
Thanks his mom and dad along with all the sponsors, you da man! Good on you and Good job Dylan , I've much enjoyed every bit of the build thus far
I was just thinking a couple days ago, "what happened to the challenger build. Hope he didn't get frustrated and give up, it's been a while"
Next day I see this, awesome work!

im proud of you for getting a old challenger back up and running again!! 10 out of 10
12:40 The black hatch was a 1989 Shelby CSX, a Dodge Shadow with 174-hp turbo 2.2L, beefed up suspension, 16" wheels and tires, and a 5-speed manual. They were capable of running in the low 15's, at a time when an 8 second 0-60 time was acceptable. Super rare car.
Congrats on getting the car to run. It was fun watching you bring the car back to life.
