Remember That Time Dodge Sent Us a Hellcat?! 🤔 (Then We Tore It Apart!) – Challenger Build – Ep. 1



Thank you to these great companies for being a part of the Challenger build!

@Billet Specialties @DeatschWerks @Holley @Jakes Performance

Okay, okay, okay… is it late? Absolutely! Am I apologizing? No 😅 The 55 put me behind on the Challenger. The Challenger put me behind on the 55. But long story short the Challenger build that we did back in July / August is ready to go out and I am excited to get to share it with you all!

In the midst of rushing to finish the 55, I got a call from my friends at MotorTrend asking if I would want to be a part of their “Celebrity Shootout” that they host every year at Roadkill Nights Powered by Dodge in Pontiac, MI. I had been to Roadkill Nights on the iconic Woodward Ave. multiple times before with Badmaro, and I had seen the shoot out they put on during the event, so I was absolutely down to be a part of it – what an honor! This year they changed it up and sent 4 YouTube builders (myself, Throtl, Tavarish, and Westen Champlin) either a Challenger or Charger and a $10k check and gave us what was suppose to be 6 weeks to build our vehicles into race ready vehicles. We would grudge race on Woodward in the Hellcat Grudge Match in August and then the winner between us would go on to race Eric Malone from fastest Cars in the Dirty South. Quite the challenge! They gave us only 3 rules – must remain stock appearing (body), keep stock block, keep stock blower. Simple! And the rest we had free reign on. So we ran with it! I hope you all enjoy 🙂

  2. Alex I truly hope you take the time in the rush of life to realize how blessed and lucky you are to have not just one but both your parents to work on in and with you! I lost my dad 6yrs ago and my mother last month and they were big into cars as well. Time Go's by so fast its unreal it seems the older you get the faster time moves thank you for all the hard work everyone of you and your family members do to make these videos for us! #alextaylorandfamtvshow!

  3. Please don't loose that good energy. It makes you so awesome, honey. You all have some nice dragsters and the best part is you know what's going on. This makes me miss working at the shop as a mechanic.

  6. ชาติที่แล้วกูก็เจ็บชาตินี้กูยังมาเจ็บกลับคนนี้อีกจะมีชาติในบ้างที่จะไมเจ็บกลับเสียใจกลับเธอนแนมจากเจาพัฒพงษ์

  7. ในๆก็ในๆแล้วเพราะกูโดยจนไมรู้จะว่าอย่าไงแล้วที่เธนทุกข์อย่างอย่าคิดว่ากูไมรู้ไอความรักนี้ให้มันตายไปกลับกูนี้ละเธนก็ทำที่เธนคิดว่าถูกต้องดีแล้วกูยอมใจมึงจริงๆๆจากเจาพัฒพงษ์..คำมตะ

  8. Hmmm………. wonder if you could actually turn it into a full out drag car, just the body, it wouldn't be able to go on the streets especially if you got a salvage title, then Dodge would save those shipping costs and the crushing fees, they probably wouldn't but who knows? There's a channel I think your dad would really enjoy called Bad Obsession Motorsports, like your father these guys are master fabricators.
