To be honest I'd truly love to see a hellcat motor I think a supercharged V8 in the body style would incredible I under that they are iconic for the V10 and being a sportscar but a hell elephant or just a nice hellcat that you can actually afford maybe consider I think it get more interest then you think.
Dude, you gotta look into how dB of sound pressure work. Yeah ... WILDLY different. Every +10 dB = 2x louder, (and even greater actual pressure change. Every +20 dB = 4x louder, (and 100x the actual pressure change) That's why you could talk the first time, and even yelling the 2nd time was barely audible.
As a retired painter one of my favorite things is watching someone paint for the first time and seeing it click in their head just how much skill is involved in doing the job properly. Then the next best thing is teaching them how to do that job properly and seeing it click when they figure it out. Incredibly rewarding job to be a painter and even more rewarding to teach others to be top notch painters.
Obligated to comment and thank you for not turning this into a 12-part series with constant sponsorships/ads from companies that gave you free things. Great video and great work! The paintjob turned out fantastic.
When putting the side canards on the front bumper put a washer on the back side of the rivit so it has something to pull without trying to grab into the bumper plastic so it is grabbing the metal washer creating a sandwich effect 👍🏻 much love brother good job as a body guy and shop owner I know the dedication it takes, if you ever need composite repairs were the top shop in Jersey doing composite repairs
I personally LOVE the viper acr. yea even though the first gen was a bloodbath since it WANTED to kill you, the 5th gen made it look so much more AGGRESSIVE
It's 3am and I'm supposed to be working on my cobra right now. I got off at 11pm and I have to be at a job at 5:45.. Thanks for making me procrastinate and watch this entire video lol.
hey Scraplifelee please look at the frame above ur finger on the right side at 7:38 just right above the strut frame u can see its cracked on both sides and pushed up from when they tried to pull it back into place u can see the tear in the top umder the yellow :) please look at it carefully and dont forget it please 😊
So crazy that you guys are local. Seeing the ACR in person is just a different look. Keep up the amazing work and with all of these spectacular builds.
LoL! Small world! I know that car! This car is now in good hands. @LeeC, while the car is on the lift change the oil cooler lines and the power steering lines. Both the car and your garage floor will thank you.
Mane this video definitely motivated me…That’s my dream car and now I’m saving up to buy a totaled one to build up…Thank you for posting this experience regardless of how long it took you to rebuild it…Keep up the great work and stay blessed…
You inspire me. I am 36 years old and I struggled with life for a long time and I still do to this day. I am good at a lot of things but making money just never seemed to be one of them. I am trying to find my way in life, and I think I have something going that could be really grate but I need to put the puzzle pieces Infront of me together to do so. Content creation is one of the puzzle pieces and when I watch your videos it really inspires me. Thank you for the amazing videos.
Lee! super cool build! I can't imagine what it's like to have the manual demon and this side by side in your garage and think 'what should i go to work in'
That Glasurit paint is excellent, and not cheap! I used it many years ago, when I was working at a European auto body shop. I worked on a lot of Porsche and BMW’s , Mercedes, Ferrari, etc that ended up being painted with it. Really high quality stuff!
It is perfectly fine in most use cases (except maybe a 6 piston mercedes or something stupid like that). Wont damage the line or anything as long as you dont let it fall of hang all twisted
God i want one of these so bad, been my favorite car for as long as i can remember. Super glad to see it get the rebuild doesnt deserve to be in a scrap yard
The Viper ACR is one of the most raw power total driver driven cars you can drive. You ask a lot of car people that drives expensive cars what cars scares them the most. Most will say the viper. No abs control no traction control. Its all in the driver. The driver has complete control in the car.
I just started watching ur channel a few months ago... And I been waiting on a new video for like 2 weeks... Now I get why it took so long for a new upload.. An entire acr rebuild!!!
I love to see you buy a wrecked vehicle. Most people think that you do not know what you are doing. I know that you already have a plan. I like watching you do what you do.
Love the curb appeal of the car, great lines. I didn’t mind the classic racing stripes breaking up the yellow a little, but either way it’s really wild looking. Having uneven back pressure with different muffling or lack there of side to side usually isn’t a great idea for performance but it was a good solution in the short term. Courageous build! 👍🏽
When I worked on copiers (and cars) and something didn't fit quite right...we had to "persuade" it rather than massage. Just some gentle...persuasion...with a hammer. Also, new sub...and a native Marylander (living in Vegas now). Can't wait to see more of this Viper!
Hey man just want to say you guys are killing it. I found your channel and the video of you cleaning out the demons guts, and I thought wtf? Is he? Why yes he is! Cool let's watch and sub to see if there's success. So glad to see all your projects recently get back on the road. I've binge watched most of your videos since that day. And man the smoked series you guys did was awesome it just blew my mind at how bad some of them were. Keep putting out videos and I'll keep watching them
Good deal. Part out would make more than your money back. My local Junk Yard co-owner has a nice car collection and one of the newer versions of this car in his collection. Color is burnt orange, and black racing stripes. Huge wing. I had to show him how to turn his running lights on.
Beautiful car! Excellent work! What will make it special is that you fixed it with your own hands. To me, that always meant something. Id rather have one that I fixed than spend $150k on a perfect one.
Dig the Ruf shit.. Really enjoying watching your vids.. Extremely satisfying watching you go through the entire process of bringing these vehicles back to life

the fact that you brought and used a potato for a prop is the reason ill watch all your videos from beginning to end! 😂😂😂
The worst part is I forgot it for like 2 days straight..
Potato? I only saw a camera on my Windows XP computer. Running Internet Explorer of course.
@@cheapme1850hmmm and here i thought it was every android phone ever
@@LeeC you had potato, i eat 3 potato
same thing
What about the catalytic converters?
It’s a difference between not having $149k and wanting to spend $149k.🤣
I was jus finna say that😂😂
The cost of that body/frame work was at least a quarter of that. They really put in a lot of work.

they ddint shpow how they twisted the chasis
Out of all the scrap life guys. This is the best channel hands down. This guy has 1 mil sub potential. Great content brotha 💪🏽
He’s getting there man, he’s gained like 200k in a few months now
Wow. Most beautiful car you’ve had on the channel. The yellow especially is an instant Y2K classic.
The Viper was always one of my favorite cars. I feel like they never really got the recognition that they deserved.
that's because dodge
When you mentioned that rotor was bigger than your head I was waiting on Fernando to holler out. Not by much 🤣🤣🤣. Great content as always.
It's 3am and I'm supposed to be working on my cobra right now. I got off at 11pm and I have to be at a job at 5:45..

That is a fiberglass inner support fender which is not structurally part of the frame. It is glued to the frame but very replaceable.
My brothers neighbor has a 4th gen ACR in black. Seeing the v10 and carbon fiber front is insane in person. What a car. Awesome to watch your build
So crazy that you guys are local. Seeing the ACR in person is just a different look. Keep up the amazing work and with all of these spectacular builds.
And also hearing it rip down the road, knows a way to a man’s heart
wow, 19k miles, $52k, and it runs! yeah, that's a winner. Congratulations.
This channel has the best car content on UA-cam

is this car from stl?
How do you know this car just quick question
@@Green_Horn_Garage We're a small community and the car was from my region.
@@user-tu1ee6dc5f the Midwest
@@user-tu1ee6dc5f Not from STL.
One of the best automotive channel on UA-cam, cheers from France :)
That's due to Carroll Shelby, Bob Lutz, & Chrysler using a C4 Corvette as the benchmark for the Dodge Viper.
the brake caliper hanging by the brake line bothers me 6:54
And those calipers are HEAVY to be hanging off a flex hose.
Came looking for this comment the second I saw him do that. Zip tie or bungee with the hooks.
there was a old viper book back in my old elementary schools library and that made this one of my favorite cars
Was it about Vipers with 4 wheels? or vipers that go "TSssss" before they bite you? I'm confused
Thats my favorite generation of viper! I think they look way meaner than the latest generation.
Next episode: I hellcat swapped my viper
😂
Foreal, because he still has a spare hellcat engine that he hasn’t used yet
Swapping Viper to Hellcat, sounds like changing your pet from bull to cat 😂
Hellcat motor is a down grade from the one in the viper i think so
That would be disappointing.
I love the Dodge Viper.. Its such a bad ass car!
Mane this video definitely motivated me…That’s my dream car and now I’m saving up to buy a totaled one to build up…Thank you for posting this experience regardless of how long it took you to rebuild it…Keep up the great work and stay blessed…
Now needs a stage 3 cam
Need more of the longer videos Lee!! The viper came out sick good job
Admittedly, I'm not a big fan of Vipers (I don't hate them either), but your rebuild is so satisfying, it has totally won me over! 😁❤
Damn dude don't you know any better than to let a caliper dangle by the brake hose..
Aluminum caliper..... lol
Still bro that hurt my head
I love the hour videos, please keep up with the good content. Never get bored I always learn something new !
Bro you are not fat you are just happy living life !!🔥🔥 49:14
Just found this page today. Sliding the viper during test drives is what got me to sub. W man🤘👌
I miss the viper so much, this car is legendary and needs to be back on the street
curious how you learned so much about engines and all this stuff. so impressive. wish i knew half of what you do so i could play with cars like this

What happened after that?
@@Guitarwolfluke What happened after what? I have a Facebook group with 100k members and I'm trying to expand that the best I can.
Lee! super cool build! I can't imagine what it's like to have the manual demon and this side by side in your garage and think 'what should i go to work in'
🚥Time to shake and bake with the new Viper snake 🐍
I just LOVE your channel!! The cars you buy and work on are awesome plus you do so much work on them each video! THANKS!!
That Glasurit paint is excellent, and not cheap! I used it many years ago, when I was working at a European auto body shop. I worked on a lot of Porsche and BMW’s , Mercedes, Ferrari, etc that ended up being painted with it. Really high quality stuff!
Holy cow, I’ve looked at parts you sell on eBay for my C6 Vette and completely stumbled across your channel, how awesome!
Doug is gonna hit you with a cease and desist for that sponsorship
New guy here. I plan to get a scrap car and build for myself too. Its just the best way. You get to know the car even better
I can’t say it to many times. MOPAR or No Car. You guys did an amazing job. Thanks for sharing!
Oh this one is good. Not gonna lie, I'm a little jealous of this one.
Nice build guys! Can’t wait to see the upgrades you do to it in the future!
This might be my favorite American car ever
It doesn't really look "destroyed", but a beautiful looking car.
I prefer the term "persuade" rather than massage when I comes to making things fit that doesn't want to
Nothing wrong with a love tap/smash
OMFG letting your caliper hang PUKEEEEE
It is perfectly fine in most use cases (except maybe a 6 piston mercedes or something stupid like that). Wont damage the line or anything as long as you dont let it fall of hang all twisted
I got caliper hooks now don’t worry 😉 that was filmed nearly a year ago
I squirmed when I saw that lol
@@LeeCyou mean a 10 cent piece of wire?
I was just about to say something about that😂😂, that's sketchy
Great lighting, commentary, and valuable information. Fabulous video, man!
God i want one of these so bad, been my favorite car for as long as i can remember. Super glad to see it get the rebuild doesnt deserve to be in a scrap yard
Great job lee, I remember when dodge released this and the Viper GT. One of the best race cars dodge stumbled upon. Sounds fired.
Insane rebuild! I love the watching the longer videos. This was very entertaining to watch!
I love these videos. The actual potato being sourced. Details are amazing. Fearless fudging to fix these wrecks.
The bracket above the coil over has been pulled. You can tell by the dimple in the bottom right corner. It’s been pulled with a hook.

Amazing opportunities for making fantastic business with breathtaking cars ! Great content ! Thanks 🤠
I love it when you guys upload man 🤣 I dont know what it is but i enjoy watching you guys over so many other channels. Keep it up!
12:52 average Supra in the back 15:03 Supra in the front of the shot
Absolutely my new favorite channel! Can’t wait to see the Zellcat rip
This man loves cars. And is very knowledgeable about every part. Love this channel
This is one of my favorite cars ever made. ❤
I love to see you buy a wrecked vehicle. Most people think that you do not know what you are doing. I know that you already have a plan. I like watching you do what you do.
You also have a reman transmission in it by mopar. Can tell by the orange sticker on the side.
Best team on UA-cam. Excellent taste in cars.

We knocked them both out! Thanks for the kind words!
@@LeeCREALLY should've spent the money , that bellinger sounds sooooo much better
There is nothing like the smell of fresh tire smoke in the morning! Well done Lee!
nice car. i have maybe 3 or 4 viper on my 50 years. and that is the most cool one. thanks for the video Lee
Those revs at 28:30 sounded soo good
Ayeee I get to eat my lunch with a Lee video
When I worked on copiers (and cars) and something didn't fit quite right...we had to "persuade" it rather than massage. Just some gentle...persuasion...with a hammer.
Also, new sub...and a native Marylander (living in Vegas now). Can't wait to see more of this Viper!
One of dream cars too! So beautiful glad you rebuilt it!

I love the content you are like Chrisfix but you do re builds and it’s fun to watch to just chill out
My dream car since childhood! Love the content. Be blessed!
4:13 dude literally walked into a store and bought a potato just for that bit. Love it!
46:29 was scared Lee was gonna become a Stang driver for a second there 😭🙏

Another fantastic build Lee! Thanks!

VIPER = DREAM CAR, ESPICALLY AN ACR
Vipers are the beast, v10 just amazing. Can’t wait to see how this car will turn out.
@LeeC Awesome builds dude. Honestly pretty amazing the different projects you guys do are very interesting & unique. Killer videos
27:16 had me crying “experience with pipes” 😂
keeeping the cool cars for the next generation to enjoy on the road, respect.
Love seeing the hard work, keep it up my man.
damn man, being able to buy a Viper ACR in any condition is amazing. So glad you could save it from the junk yard.
Your videos keep getting better man 👍🏻
Also, turbo time
Most beautiful viper model ever made 😳😫❤️❤️❤️❤️
Awesome build - well done guys!
Video quality and series are improving greatly!
