so basically he paid $17K for a VIN number and an engine that needs a good refresh.
He claims he wants to rebuild the existing chassis,but in the engine tear down video,he does mention he's bought another lesser burnt wide body for parts. To me i think rebuilding the Demon chassis would be a bit risky,as sheetmetal burnt that bad doesn't promote much in the way of structural support,and the late model car platforms are nothing more then stamped sheet metal.

Exactly.. now if he decides to put some form of built up chassis under the body then it might hold up. He'll need to do some good prep on the metal and use a good epoxy primer to hold the paint on

I have watched 3 clips of his progress
so wheels & tires are on & the engine is being rebuilt

I am hooked, i would like to see the rest

It is almost strange, as i watched him scraping away the fire damage, i swear i could smell it.
I guess my brain was playing tricks, i worked at a auto dismantling yard for a period of time
