'Alex Rebuilds' Brings Challenger Hellcat Back to Life
31.01.2019
The Alex Rebuilds Youtube channel, with support from Motul performance lubricants, features a 10-part YouTube series showing how to restore this tire-shredding monster.
Alex completely takes apart the front end, removes the engine mounts, and drops the entire damaged subframe of the Challenger to replace it.
After stretching the frame to restore the body integrity, new body panels are found, the roof skin is replaced, and the body is painted to match the stunning B5 Blue of the original paint.
Once painted, the Challenger Hellcat gains new life-blood with the help of Motul 300V 0W-40 performance oil, RBF 600 brake fluid, and Motul Multi ATF gear fluid for the 6-speed manual transmission.
The results of Alex's restoration is a Hellcat that looks, and sounds, like a brand new car! A smokey burnout is a fitting final test for this 707-horsepower Challenger and be sure to check out the entire series on the Alex Rebuilds channel for more info.
