This Maryland man bought the cheapest Dodge Demon on the planet but he may have bitten off more than he could chew.
Talking about chewing, this Dodge Demon looks like it has been chewed up and spit out by some horrifying monster, and the YouTuber’s subscribers told him that he would be crazy to actually spend any money on it.
Despite being warned against buying the destroyed 2018 Dodge Demon, he dropped a total of $18,400 on it, with the goal to rebuild it back to its racing glory.
But the YouTuber was faced with a serious dilemma: switch out the chassis to a nice clean one, or spend time, blood, sweat and tears on restoring the iconic original?

There is no doubt that restoring a lightly used car takes a lot of time, money and effort, but trying to rebuild an almost completely destroyed muscle car? Well, that’s something else entirely.
Enter Lee, owner of the ScrapLife Garage on YouTube and the man who has decided to take on the questionable challenge of restoring a cheap Dodge Demon from utter destruction.
Subscribers to his channel genuinely begged the man not to buy the car, because even though it was probably the cheapest Dodge Demon on the planet, dropping $18,400 on it seemed ridiculous considering its state.
This isn’t a case where the exterior of the cheapest Dodge Demon is destroyed, but the interior is ok, more like the inside is worse than the outside because the Demon suffers from a destroyed transmission and mangled suspension.
We shouldn’t even mention the dangerously misaligned wheel, as it seems to be the least of the demons this Dodge is facing.
By some miracle, the front of the engine is clean and the fan and the radiator had the potential to be reused, but the biggest shock was the fact that the engine still turned over.
The YouTuber faced a dilemma: replace the chassis for a new one or keep the mangled old original.
If you know this creator, it probably comes as little surprise that he decided to try and fix it.
We wait with baited breath to see the end result.
But for now, if it turns out buying the cheapest Dodge Demon was a mistake, at least it was an exciting one.
