This is probably my favorite build yall have done so far that thing is sick!
I am a big fan of the Cummins Mustang
I second that statement 👆🏻
Agreed I’d clear coat that beast and do some rebuilding and call it a day it looks so good I wouldn’t even paint it I’d just a clear coat it 🤟💪😎
The Smokestang is my fave, but this is cool too
Facts
The cops are just like “Oh that’s Westen, we just let him do his thing”
For real! I love it they really don’t mess with him🤣 let’s just do a burnout outside the shop in the middle of town
@@Noah-ks4gd you taken a look at that town? Westen is the best thing to ever happen to it.
@@DieselRamcharger oh yeah most definitely!
I'm from Winfield Kansas all there is is churches, methlabs, and westen
Awesome home town cops. The cops in my hometown would call a couple dozen of their buddies to come fill you full of bullets for Westen's shenanigans.
Westen puts a smile on my face every time!!!! Every town, city, whatever needs a man like this!!!
A person who builds car I think ever city has a mechanic
@@lscampaign8660 Your fun at parties 🙂
@@MustangGuy2000 , remind me to refrain from going to those particular parties. Lol
@@MustangGuy2000 aaaaasaawee
In the DFW region, that would be my uncle.
Take care of your health, Westen. We need people like you around
Agreed
Yes!!
Not wrong
The fat and the furious.
Doesn't look like he's gonna live too long. The heart is dying to keep him running as it is
I really like the rusty look and the shiny engine parts. It looks cool.
Right!
i thought i was the only one
@@パラドックス-v7p that would make you a very special person
A story.... Of a planet with BILLIONS OF PEOPLE and only one PERSON likes rusty look and shiny engine parts.
He is SO UNIQUE.... :D
Same it feels like its from mad max
@@nugget6644 wow man I’m speechless… There’s just something so fascinating to me about rusty cars with big shiny parts. looking it you see a great history and story behind it and that history has been revived by modern day again….
I love how happy he is when the car started without a problem , dude I was happy as well . You made my afternoon and probably my week . :D
The 1968 charger to me is the most iconic muscle car of all time. The car is beautiful with every curve. The hideaway headlights to the rear where you have a good view of the differential. The gas tank cover was even cool.
The mercury cougar xr7 as well
@@ashleymellenthin533 cougar was a great car. Charger was not, i am a Mopar guy, the charger was a dog
@@jaewhite2462 I would say the new chargers are not but the old chargers are a beauty
Hands down. 1968 1970, one of the most beautiful cars ever made. Just looks so mean.

I showed my papaw this video today. He has an old car he put a big block in himself at nearly 70 years old. It was great seeing the smile on his face when I showed him tater. Thank you Westen, truly a hero.
I love how humble and unbothered you are, even when someone calls the cops on you and thinks they’re gonna ruin your day lol.
I think they're probably on a first name basis. Let's be honest, he just waved at em like "Oh, hey! Haven't seen ya since last weekend!! Sup?" :P
@@GamingHelp yeah like "hey Bill how's the wife and kids ... Oh us? We're just testing out our new racecar nothing too bad"
Am I in trouble?🤣🤣🤣

I love how wreckless he is with all his toys. He has all these toys and they are a mans dream car even but he will burn rubber and gas and run it into the ground. Pure joy for the viewers as well as him. You can see the kid coming out of him everytime he makes a video with a new toy.
Easy when you aint spending your own money.
Now im not knocking him, he works hard but he get a lot of $ from this and patreon.
@@andyreid7274 its still his money😂 people just donate theirs to him. He gets more money from UA-cam than anything so essentially its like reinvesting when he does crazy stuff like this.
@@andyreid7274 Ive never had a patreon.
@@WestenChamplin dont get me wrong man i love your videos and enthusiasm! Definitely not hating!
@@andyreid7274 why would you call him out for a patreon
Almost 60 years old and still sounds better than any chopper I've heard...EVER.
That's the most mechanic thing ever
POOOWWAAAH

For reals
Ohh yeah it sounds soooooo good
More like MURICAAAAAAA
That look of pure joy on the first start is what every man feels when he finishes project that works the first time and fixes his truck. This man is a national treasure.
I've had this feeling many a time with guns and PCs, looking forward to having some of these moments with cars, God willing.
You god damn right, every time I’ll start my bike I feel it, but the first time was glorious and I still enjoying every time…)
When he turned it on for the first time after the install is a feeling only one day I wish I could comprehend. I seen the joy in his face and it made me feel like it’s possible. That’s westen and everything you guys do. You guys make car hobby more enjoyable because of the laughs you give
There's nothing that compares to that feeling. And what you may not notice is the long hours, days, sometimes weeks of failures and getting your ass kicked by the car that won't start, or run right. But then.. after you've said fuck it I'm done countless times, lost tempers, stared silently at it for too long, and talked both sweetly and horribly at the car...boom.. it starts and roars to life. It's a knock out in a boxing match, the game winning catch, bottom of the ninth grand slam and first your time all rolled into one. It's the sweetness. Go find out.
@@Gavin.Smooth I will find out, currently looking for a beater that will disappoint me and bring life to me a few times
I built a pc and felt that way when it fired on. I imagine putting a car together is 100xs that
it look like MUSCLE CAR
I can seriously spend an entire day binge watching your videos. Hanging out with this dude would be the best. 😂
That’s how you do it man. You go out have fun and if you break it you fix it, have fun and break it again and repeat. Half the fun is working on your projects. 👍🏻
The other half is listening to your wife complain.
@@RockSteel141 The most fun part is ignoring your wife and making her complain even more 😝
I love how he treats this car like its a 99 civic about to blow away even tho its a legendary piece of art 😂
Diesel swap
Good god I agree.... this is a holy grail.. 😣
Yeah it’ll prolly be destroyed before long, witch would be stupid considering how rare these car’s are getting. The dukes shows don’t even use real ones anymore they body swap crown vics some how and put a charger body on them.
@@val5198 no
@@robinswalows it very well might be the holy grail....but if i owned the holy grail, i'd still drink cheap beer out of it.
i like to think that this car is really grateful to you for taking her out for a spin after so many years
I dont think that car was gratefull for eatiog clouds of dust without air filter..
@@TheSerious28 the car ate nothing the engine did lol
@@MrPlumloko the engine is the car
she just wanted some time to stretch first no doubt tho lol
Your videos have gotten me out of such a state of depression and just a huge mental lapse. You make me wanna get out and rebuild a monster! I love the vids
I lost it when he said " It ain't knocking anymore, looks like whatever was knocking knocked loose!" So great. Good video!
This should be on a shirt
True statement no shit.
Fr, Montero was having timing belt noise, thought I would lost her after 370.000km
Whatever it was got grinded by the belt, it runs just like new for the last years lol
'This is gonna look legit'
That's the most mechanic thing ever
itsjusta6: *takes months to build and supercharge motor*
This guy: *jenga stacks supercharger, proceeds to be as reliable as Gavins cars*
Oof
That might be because an old rv motor is possibly more reliable than a mmr built motor😂
@East or West he knows what he’s doing. He’s just got to watch a youtube tutorial before every build and in between every install/unmount
Gavin's cars are not reliable, they break after one pull. don't compare that clown with this genius please
@@ChrispyCremee My bad G, didn't think i would hurt your feelings. Apologies
I hope they will do a full restore of this Charger.
This car deserves it.
This is literally what we love Westin for. Just him being him while working in crap. Love it
bro i have the same profile p on steam
@user-wv1pj6wh4h bruh you prob get rides from your momma 😝
I didn't expect it to run that good as a V7 after one of the pistons called it a day.
Meh, the piston’s just taking a union-mandated break :)
Seeing this brother make his dreams and hobbies come into fruition has made me happy
I said the same thing in my head
Bro yk the closest thing this dude seen to a black person is a mean sun tan 🤣
I look at this rusty old man and I can't hold back my tears. I love the muscle cars of those times. I love them for the brutal design, the rumbling of the eight-cylinder engine, the speed.
it remains only to look at them, veterans of dusty roads, and greedily lick your lips, dreaming of seeing them in good health and with your own eyes

The best thing about owning a Honda, you get other people to show the sheer power of their builds. Usually leaving you in the dust, but man, is that some good dust.
Unless the Honda *is* the sleeper.
@@klydebeso3898 Stop that nonsense.
@@thatguy4779 hey, there is probably an LS swapped honda out there
@@Wirgah cool but does it have a massive supercharger
@@-aku2805 i just got an idea….
How can the cops tell you not to do burnouts on private property that you had permission to do burnouts at??
Exactly. That’s bs
Because of noise complaints there were houses near bye and everyone doesn’t love care like we do
Cars*
kinda silly but they can say that the smoke and noise isnt contained to the private lot or property. If you are in your driveway doing standing burnouts, they can actually tell you to stop if its making too m uich noise or if the smoke is going out intio the road. Im sure this town police dept. all know him and just tell him to knock it off when they get called. I bet they dont even try to ticket him.
Cuz there is no such thing as freedom anymore
Now paint it black lmao
Lmao
F a m i l y
@@restoRWBY2952lol
I can't afford.
Snap on all I got is Pittsburgh. That's just stolen. 💀 💀
Nah general lee color scheme
i dont know why i worry about torque spec when this guy is out here living my dreams. Keep on keeping on
The charger from the factory came with torque specs. It doesn't break down, not a coincidence.
The way he handled that cop was 100. Nice to see respect still goes a long way
What are the torque specs on the intake?
What is your impact set to?
Priceless!
Butch
can someone explain this to me please?
@@moomaniac2932 OK. I'll try. When assembling any engine, different parts are screwed together with bolts or studs. They have a different torque specifications ( twisting force) and to achieve that you should use a torque wrench. For light applications it might be in inch/lbs and larger parts like crankshaft caps or head bolts it will be in ft/lbs.. Impact wrenches are impossible to set to correct values unless the assembly process takes place in a factory like Mercedes Benz or Porsche where all the bolts are torqued by a computer controlled machine.
@@czarekaj1098 I appreciate you taking the time to try and explain this to me. I don't fully understand but I think I get the gist. Is the joke that you can't set the impact correctly anyway?
@@moomaniac2932 That's pretty much it. Most pneumatic impact guns have 2 settings , high and low impact and left or right turn. Depending on size and manufacturer they can produce between 500-800 ft/lbs on high and about half on low. Most automotive shops use 1'2 inch drive impacts that are rated for about 550-600 ft/lbs. If you would try to use that impact gun on a bolt that have a torque spec of 10-25 ft/lbs, you would snap that bolt before you would even know it.
Instant classic. One of my fave videos from your channel.
That's the most badass, meanest looking and sounding car on the road. You'd think a serial killer would be behind the wheel instead of Westen. Love also the fact the car is named innocently Tater.
You might want to rethink what you just said for all the clues are in it.

That car so rusty, even the smoke is yellow.
😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
authentic rust too
The fact that Westen didn't use the cops showing up as clickbait makes me love this channel even more #WestenChamplin #roastedtaters
an absolute UNIT of a man with a muscle car named tater, 15 seconds in and I'm subscribed
I loved when he saw the snap on truck and said “I can’t afford snap on I go to harbor freight” the snap on guy looks at the supercharger “I think you can afford snap on”
Definitely deserves a built engine even with just decent used parts great for cleet and cars.
That’s because it’s for burnout rivals. big concrete space to do burnout.
You should paint her “Plum Crazy”
Sick build nonetheless
Hell yea
my dads charger is plum crazy its a nice color i think the current color is good
Pretty overdone and purple is a bit dated.
"Go ManGo" would be damn sharp with the rest of that shiny though...
Might she will be better in a "hemi orange"
Thanks for making these stupidly awesome cars mate, and sharing that with the rest of us. 💯

Weston is slowly becoming more and more Roadkill every video and I love it
roadkill with more wrecklessness
The visualization of a build straight from hell this thing is incredible!
bro, this build is perfect, the car, the rust color, the wheels and the supercharge can't combine better than this
The world needs more people like Westen. I have not smiled this much in many days. This video is beautiful.
I don't think that rust is just a color....
@@kami_narisama 😆😆👌
This, this is why I miss Roadkill! Man, they were so good back In the day and now you're picking up the torch!
This is something I wish I would have learned growing up. I can't imagine the feeling of finding something rare like that and fixing it up.
“This is heavier that my last girlfriend” lmfao love the videos
Wow i literally read your comment as he said it lmao🤣
That had me dying! 🤣
@@789costela lol same
LOL
military liscense plate mirrored is moving still
Westans excitement is literally a vibe I love seeing him learn as he builds!!!!!
Nicely done man, I built old rods like this for many years. They are a blast and still more fun to ride around in than any new age car.
Glorious. What a beautiful work of metal sculpture. I’ve been obsessed with it since I was a little kid. This looks just like car in the Mad Max game too, with the beat up looking body and giant supercharger combo.
Why is this man so pure? He is the culmination of what we aspire to be as car guys. 😂
I saw him at SEMA, and in person he is as humble.

Notice he backed into the spot because there’s no tag on the car LMAO
I love how careless he is with cops. But in a way I almost feel like that's how he gets away with so much, he's so laid-back with them lol.
Good cops know when to let the goofy kid who isn't hurting anybody off with a warning not to smoke up Main Street again. Feels like his town has plenty of good cops.
There’s small city’s that everyone knows everyone and their neighbors dog. I’m sure it’s better to be cool with everyone
"what's the torque specs?"
"What's your impact drill say?"
"You know me so well☺️"
Why did I almost shit myself laughing

This is literally the best car I’ve seen in a while, massive engine, the rusted look on the paint and it’s a 1968

To build a kick ass car to just park in a garage, is like not having too much sex with your wife as not to ruin for her next husband!
I agree . Most people build cars for decoration and it’s frustrating
if i could ever find a decent muscle car to build, i would 2,000,000% have that as either a daily... or just drive it regularly and have fun in it
@@greytheneko5351 my car is a 1965 and i drive it every time I'm home (I'm a truck driver so I don't use my car very often)

Please continue to build this car it warms my heart to see someone driving a 68 charger Ive only seen one or two in my life but to see it doing burnouts and donuts just make me happy ngl
Nothing made my day except watching a dodge charger restore itself and do burnouts and donuts with a lot of horsepower.
It's much more appealing than the latest $100,000 sports car.
There is meaning in bringing something that was dead back to life.
You are the Herbert West-Reanimator and Dr. Frankenstein of the automotive world.
This guy is hilarious. Love the energy building this car!
I love this video cause he also shows that it wasn’t all perfect. He showed where he messed up and how he fixed it thumps up for that
10:02 WAS SO SICK, that engine sway jeeezzzz that's some power
Dude always puts a smile on my face! That is EXACTLY what should have been done to that thing. It's freaking PERFECT.
First time watching this guy and I gotta say the energy is amazing, lmao.
Ye same glad I found this channem
I love how it spins the tires on the slick garage floor paint with each blower surge. Seeing cars with patina like this, and everyone loves the way they look, me included, calms me down about a few bubbles in the paint on my 64 Galaxie 500 fastback.
Westin is living mine and everybody else watching this' dreams right now... Loving every second of these vids
This is the definition of "build for a good time, not a long time"
I laughed my head off when the engine shuts of and/or when he said “it might have a piston broken”😂😂😂
Cuts to him gunnin the shit out of it doin a burnout
Twelve and a half minutes of pure joy!
Just started watching this channel, love your content, your humor is amazing and you are a mechanical genius
Had to sub to this guy. He's legit a legend. I was like meh when he was messin with diesel stuff(I'm not a diesel or 4 cylinder fan at all) but man, this video is golden.

7:20 this is music to my ears
Ok so this is now one of my top fav channels. You guys look like you’d be a blast to hang with and fix those knocks the right way.
The production, editing and humour seem on point here. I'm gonna enjoy my dinner to this
I love your thought process Weston no cops go out in the country do burnouts awesome days enjoy this car. Looks like fun.
His face when the car first started makes me happy😂😂
at 3:47
When the motor got so much torque and power it can do the "friendly wiggle" you know you reached the minimum level of power. It's a good baseline to start adding more power into it! :D
