Detroit Muscle goes on the hunt for their next big build: Project Ultra Violet...a 1970 Challenger. This Mopar is in serious need of a sand blaster! The team salvages a rotted out '70 Challenger with how-to weld in a new metal roof, drip rails and A-pillars. Then, chassis guru Jeff Schwartz brings in his G-Machine chassis to convert uni-body Challenger to a full frame. We show you how to weld in a new trunk pan and fabricate a front cowl panel from scratch before the guys graft the world's first low deck, all aluminum Hemi and T56 six speed gearbox. Then, it's step-by-step tech on how-to mini tub a muscle car rear end to create clearance for massive tires and celebrity builder Chris Ryan shows how-to lay down metallic paint and graphics on our very purple Challenger. The guys get into how to refurbish an expensive grill, insulate a uni-body plus tips on reassembling brightwork before fabbing a high flow EFI fuel system, serpentine belt drive and dual fan cooling system. Finally, the Mopar interior gets upgraded with performance seats, and a custom dash insert.

I jus watched this whole thing w out stoppin like it was a movie 😂 I Love the finished product
i was kinda sad when he didn’t finish the thistle fact:(
One of the better resto shows on YouTube. Having the full build on one video is excellent. Cheers guys.
RIP Joe Elmore
For me, this is the most beautiful muscle car ever made!!! I love challenger!!!
I am amazed at that young mans skills, and he stoops to the level of us backyarders to show us how we can do things with out high buck tools. He's also a pretty mellow down to earth man who would be pleasant to work with. If ya read this Tommy keep up the good work. We need more craftsmen in the field.
Hey Tommy, This was one of the best videos that you guys have put up to see. The most explanatory and visual video to date. Well done it is amazing to see such skilled work being done and a pleasure to watch. Thanks very much and well done.
2:50 that’s the 70 Satellite that was on Junkyard Digs channel.
All car, no piss-poor drama acting. This is top of the line entertainment
You guys did a awesome job on restoring that Challenger. You all do have the best job going . Well done
Incredible upload, so great to watch - no shortcuts taken , everything done right - captivating !
please keep making videos like these i absolutely love em and watch every minute
These are my favorite videos on YouTube. I love muscle cars and I love to watch you guys do your thing. Great job.
I used to watch Joe on the POWER BLOCK of shows on TNN every weekend instead of Saturday morning cartoons.
I would have done all my panel replacements and the body painted before adding the new frame. That way the car is strengthened and that $20,000 investment won't have weld spatter, grinding dust, overspray etc. will not be falling on the new frame. Grinding dust will pit aluminum almost immediately.
What a project, man you guys have the patience of saints. Thanks so much for the super enjoyable entertainment! : )
This is my favorite build with two of my favorite host. Reminds me of Stacey building copperhead. Good times in CARtoons on saturdays
it seems like their builds always go SO smoothly lol. I feel like people in the real world deal with soooo many more issues but that is probably because these guys have a huge budget and all the tools possible.
