We’ve showcased every single episode of Dylan McCool’s build of this 1973 Dodge Challenger, from a slime-covered shell that was sitting in the trees, long left to the elements, to what it is today, a street machine with a modern heart that can be hopped into and driven anywhere, anytime. The interior is fresh, the paint is aged, and the hard parts are solid. Every single, solid detail has been dealt with since the car was dragged out of the muck in February 2019. Two years of restoration work has paid off and the result speaks not only for itself but for Dylan as well.
This is the final episode of the rebuild program and effectively, it’s the true summary of the series. This is why we really dig Dylan’s work…because this is his thank you to the viewers and the companies that supported his work. Every aspect of the project was filmed, from replacing the rotted framerail and metal to the installation of the Jeep-sourced 5.7L Hemi mill. A lot of companies stepped up to make this car happen as well, from Classic Industries for providing restoration parts to Holley for providing the engine management system that makes the Hemi thump. Everything has been gone through. The build is not over, but the series has come to an end. Hopefully I’ll get a chance to see this car in action soon…I saw it at Holley MoParty last year, but I haven’t seen it move yet.
This entire revival series should be standard watching for any young gun who wants to know what it truly takes in order to build the machine of your dreams. Right here.
Pretty cool! Especially like that he recognizes Jesus as his Lord and Savior.
As a child, I dreamed of a 1973 Dodge Challenger. Soon I will write my paper about a car that has been in operation for only 12 years, after which it was abandoned and stood for 35 years in the open air. Over the years, it has been mercilessly battered by time and corrosion, but the presence of original spare parts makes it a very valuable exhibit, and the new owners decided to give this muscle car a second life.
