- We're currently in the throes
of putting two V8s in our 350Zs,
and it got us thinking,
YouTubers love building cars,
but sometimes they go too far!
- Aah.
- Today we are looking at some of the most outrageous builds
on our favorite website, our mother, YouTube,
according to you guys.
You guys voted.
I'm James.

Now let's get back to the show.
(mellow electronic music)
- All right, so we did a video about YouTuber cars
a little while ago,
and you guys told us about some that we missed.
So we're gonna start off this list
with one of the most requested cars
that we received in the comments,
the Morrvair from YouTube channel Matt's Off Road Recovery.
Shouts to Matt.
It's a channel that I watch-
- I watch this. Yeah. - Quite a bit.
- I'm a huge fan. - After we got into
the HiLow Tacomas,
I got like super into
off-roading content- - Yeah. Me too.
- And watched a bunch of their videos.
I definitely know this car.
- Well, if you're not familiar with these channel,
these guys rescue vehicles that got stuck off-roading,
but to rescue a big old stuck truck in the dirt,
you need an even beefier truck
that don't get stuck in the dirt,
a truck like the Morrvair.
It's like a Corvair wagon on a truck chassis.
When Matt got it, it was just a rusty old Corvair wagon.
But over the course of a few years,
him and his shopmates built it out
with massive custom suspension,
with over a foot of travel,
locking diffs from a Dodge truck,
(bell dings)
and a 5.3 liter LS.
And these dudes actually use it
to save people stuck in the wilderness.
- You build a car for YouTube,
it might not run all the time.
- No, most of them don't.
- This is one that probably runs a lot of the time,
because they're making a lot of content with this thing.
And it has to, like, it goes through a huge stress test
every time they go out with it, you know.
- This thing is definitely starting the list off strong.
Big fan of your channel.
Check 'em out. - Yeah, definitely.
- I'd say it's high, high middle.
- Definitely. - I don't know what else
we're gonna see today.
This next car on our list was years in the makin',
Cleetus McFarland's El Camino, appropriately named Mullet.
It's a drag ute, as our Australian friends call 'em,
and it's capable
of sixes on the drag strip.
- That's really fast. - That's really fast.
- Yeah.
- It was tough to decide which one of Cleetus's cars
to feature, because he's got Leroy-
- A lot of 'em. - He's got Ruby.
He's got a freaking tank with a gun on it.
This one is the fastest one he's ever built.
He started with a fifth gen El Camino,
which normally would've made
like a hundred and something horsepower.
It's like a Malaise Era- - Fifth gen. Yeah, yeah.
I think my mom had one of those.
- So he started with a car
very similar to your mom's,
and then he swapped out the guts
for a seven liter big block LS,
which now puts out over 2,000 HRSPRS,
thanks to two massive 94-millimeter turbos.
(engine revving)
- That's so wild, man.
- I'm speechless.
What a genuine dude. We love him.
I think this is a really cool car.
I don't think it's as cool as the Morrvair.
If I were like to choose a car,
like one that I like wanted,
I would definitely take this one-
- I'm sorry to say,
I do think Morrvair right now
is at the top of my list so far.
- That's the last LS swap
that we're gonna talk about on this list.
But if you like LS's,
hit the Subscribe button,
'cause as we said, we've been working on our 350Zs.
We're putting V8s in 'em.
We're gonna take 'em draggin' and driftin'.
And that brings us to our next vehicle.
It's a 1971 Plymouth Barracuda built by Demolition Ranch.
The handsome vet guy
with the big house? - Yeah, the handsome,
that guy, yeah. - The guns, and the-
- He's a veterinarian.
He's super handsome and buff.
He does fun stuff,
and he built his own house.
- And now he's got a freaking Barracuda, too.
- I rent a house and drive a Tiguan.
- His freakin' forearms probably got twice as big.
- Yeah dude, the guy,
he could rip us in half
and drink our coconut water out of our skulls.
He's not an average guy.
- He's totally not. - And this is not
your average 1971 Plymouth Barracutta.
These Texas guys did an extremely Texas thing,
and made it a six wheel truck.
- What?
- But it turns out
that making a car into a six wheel truck isn't super easy.
They started with a first gen
Cummins 12-valve diesel chassis,
and shortened it by four feet
so it could fit under the body.
- Cool. - They then had to move
the engine back seven inches,
and box the frame to make it more rigid.
Then they had to fab custom fender flares
to fit big fat duallies.
- Nice. - And it turns out, Nolan,
that one turbo
just isn't enough. - Naturally.
- So they added a second one, Nolan.
Now enough agreein' about it.
Let's watch it a clip.
- Here it comes.
Here it comes, James.
(engine roaring) (turbos screaming)
It's so loud, and so slow,
but it could tear down a house.
(motor pops)
It sounds like it broke.
- Where are we putting this?
- Pulling the Mullet?
I'll agree with you if you think so.
- Because Mullet is sick.
- I'm not gonna deny that at all.
But it is a drag car. - It's a drag car.
And you've seen it. And I've seen that.
Morrvair, still up there.
Another car you guys kept commenting about
is Rob Dohm's four rotor RX-7.
- Ooh,
baby.
- Now, most FD RX-7s have two rotors.
But Rob wanted to double that.
(Nolan chuckles)
If that wasn't enough,
he also wanted it to be all-wheel drive.
Uh, newsflash.
These things never came all-wheel drive.
So that's a big thing to figure out.
This project's been going on for the majority of a decade.
That is almost twice as long as I've been alive.
It's a constant work in progress,
but the thing ripped,
and this guy,
just a guy,
from his house,
or his shop
built a car,
then went pound for pound, round for round,
against Kenneth Block and the Hoonicorn?
Mad props.
(James and Nolan laugh)
"My first all-wheel drive drift
in the four-wheeler RX-7.
Emotional moment for me."
(engine screaming)
- It's like literally like lightning strikes.
- Yeah.
Basically everything on this car is custom.
He's run into a lot of hiccups along the way,
like getting his clutch stolen.
- That sucks.
- Who does that?
- It's like a mainstay of car YouTube, really.
- Dude, it's like- - It's been around
for so long. - Number one.
I know where it goes.
- I think I do, too.
Yeah.
- Give me the program!
The next car on this list is very French, all right?
Imagine this.
A Fiat Multipla.
That's French for multiple.
- Oui, out.
- "Top Gear" called this
the ugliest car of all time.
But let's imagine that this duck face guy
has 1,000 horsepower and a Rocket Bunny kit.
- Si'l vous plait. Mm.
- I present to you,
Le Multiple.
(cameraman laughs)
- Well done.
- Merci.
A channel called Vilebrequin is currently building
this ugly hog.
Now you might be wondering how a couple of Frenchmens
even fit a thousand horsepower
in a little Fiat minivan thing.
- I am wondering.
- You are?
- Yeah. Tell me.
- Well, guess what?
They were originally gonna stuff AMG internals into it,
but that didn't work.
I don't know for certain,
because my French is a little rusty.
So instead they ended up using a C7 Z06 Corvette chassis
with a supercharged LT4 V8.
But they ran into a little le creux.
- I'm assuming that means-
- They ran outta money, Nolan.
- Oh.
- So they had to crowd fund
over a million dollars to finish it.
And they used it to pay Kei Miera,
my personal friend,
I've talked to him on the phone, and he's come by Donut.
They asked him to design a one-off Rocket Bunny kit.
He's Nolan's friend, too.
Who wants to fight Nolan at Creator Clash?
All right, this car is technically not done yet,
but it's funny, and ugly,
just like Jeremiah.
I love an expensive joke,
so therefore it be longs on this list.
Let's check it out. - Let's look at this thing.
Everyone on the comments is gonna be like,
"Jeremiah's not ugly, James is."
(men speaking in foreign language)
(spring boings)
(men speaking in foreign language)
- So they're still working on it.
- So these guys are like funny French,
not like "Leon" French.
(men speaking in foreign language)
- I feel like this is how people reacted
when we first came out with
this D-List- - (laughs) Yeah.
- Like, you were like, what is...(screams)
Corvette chassis with a Multipla on top of it.
- That guy.
That is pretty funny.
- It's like funny.
It's the bottom of the list for me,
because it's not done.
- Yeah. I agree.
I agree, James.
- This next car on this list is made by Drift Daddy
and personal friend of mine, Ryan Tuerck.
He's a huge friend of the channel.
He was in a lot of our really early videos.
Really, really cool guy.
He's no stranger to putting the wrong engines in Toyotas,
and this one is no different.
I'm talking about his V10 supra, a.k.a. the Formula Supra.
Now the engine in question is a very cool one,
possibly the coolest one on this entire list.
I'm gonna go ahead and say the coolest one
on this entire list.
Naturally aspirated, four liter Judd V10,
originally designed for Le Mans.
This V10 weighs about the same as the six cylinder
that came out of the Supra,
but makes more than double the HRSPRS.
(Nolan snickers)
It makes 750 HRSPRS,
to be exact. - Wow.
- It also looks and sounds very freakin' cool.
(engine screaming)
Like get outta my face, dude.
(engine screams)
- That's so sick.
- It's so sick.
It's the sickest car.
- They've been working on this for a while.
- I mean, not as long
as we've been working on our cars.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
I know where it goes.
- I think the rotary sounds better,
but this is cool.
- All right, here's the thing.
Ryan Tuecrk is a very cool guy.
- Yeah.
- He was in a lot of Donut videos early on.
He is not a YouTuber.
He is a professional drifter- - Mm-hm.
- Father- (Nolan chuffs)
Husband. - Mm-hm.
- Excellent brother- - Mm-hm.
- Landowner. (Nolan chuffs)
CrossFit king, and friend to the end.
But YouTuber he is not.
(Nolan laughs)
And for that reason, the Formula Supra goes under Rob Dahm,
one of the OG car YouTubers.
Next car on the list is built by Emelia Hartford.
We love Emelia, don't we?
She has a lot of insanely cool builds.
- She does.
- Jealousy inducing, some might say.
She's got a K-swapped Prius.
She's got her grandma's 1979 Buick Regal
that she turned into a drag car.
She has her C8 Corvette,
the twin turbo guy, named Phoenix,
because she burnt it down and then rebuilt it.
But this build might be even more bonkers
than any of those.
Emelia let her subscribers decide
what her next build would be,
and they voted for a Mustang.
So she bought a 2017 S550 Mustang,
and immediately swapped the Coyote out for a big block.
460 SVO bored and stroked to over nine liters.
That's three Faygos from a Juggalos out there.
And on top of it,
it's got a big fat honking superchurger on it.
- That's so sick.
- I know. - I love this.
- It looks insane.
How much HRSPRS does it make, you ask?
(Nolan laughs) Did you?
- No, but how much horsepower does it make?
- Well, she took it to the dyno,
and it put down over 800 horsepower,
but it made so much torque
that it did a burnout on the rollers, Nolan.
So they couldn't get an accurate reading.
- At that point, like, do you need an accurate reading?
You're like, "Okay, my car can do a burnout on the dyno."
Like, that's impressive enough.
- She's hoping for over 2,000.
Let's check this bad gang out.
- Let's see it.
- Let's watch her burnout.
(engine roaring)
That's so bad, dude.
(engine roaring)
Her neighbors are like, dude, what the?
What the heck?
I think goes-
- Morrvair, or-
- Oh, that's a tough one.
- It's definitely here or here.
- But I don't think- - She's our friend.
- [Nolan] Okay. Okay.
♪ One more car on this list ♪
♪ Then we gotta go work ♪
♪ On our own cars, Nolan ♪
We've covered a lot of ground here,
but you know what's even wilder
than any of the cars on this list?
- No.
- How about a car with no wheels at all?
Deboss Garage's square body Chevy tank truck,
a.k.a. the Shermanator.
I'm pretty sure that's an "American Pie" reference,
and also a Sherman tank.
Another pun (hand slams). Boom.
You know how sometimes people
replace their tires with treads?
Well, that's not what this is, okay?
This Chevy is mounted on 100% custom built tank chassis
that they found rotting away in a swamp.
Their first problem was figuring out
what the hell it even was.
- Fair enough.
- So they hired a tank expert to inspect it.
And it turns out that it's Frankensteined together
out of a bunch of junkyard tank parts.
I didn't even know that there were tank junkyards,
but I'd love to go there,
maybe start a life, get some dogs.
Now, since they bought it,
they added a second diesel engine
and a custom hydraulic system to lift the truck body.
And in case you're wondering why they need a tank truck,
the answer is obvious.
- Big heist.
- If we go off to the side, we flip over,
'cause there's a great big drop.
- He says, as he's like rippin'.
"Ha-ha, you go over the side."
What? It's stock.
It's stock.
- They are running over trees.
- Running over trees is so scary.
- Couldn't do that in Low Truck.
- What's that tank movie, with the tank?
- "Fury"?
- Yeah. Guess who's in that.
- Who?
- Jeremiah.
- Are you messing with me?
- Yeah, Donut host Jeremiah is in the tank movie "Fury"
starting Shilah LeBeouf and Bradley Pitt.
This thing is cool as hell.
Tanks are (beep)-
the best thing ever. - That's pretty bad.
How are we gonna wiggle out of this one, James?
- It's sort of like all the inconvenient...
Well, it's some of the cool parts about a tank,
like running over trees and stuff,
but really you want that cannon.
You know what I mean?
You want that cannon on there.
I think it's cooler than the Cummins Cuda.
It's not as cool as the Morrvair.
- Okay. - Right?
- Yeah. I think that works.
I'm fine with that.
- I'm happy with that. - That's a good
little four car solution.
Five car solution.

We also make frickin' clothes
like this brand new Mo Powa Baby eagle shirt.
This is one of my favorite shirts that we've ever made.
- It's soft, but it feels-
- It's heavy.
- It does feel heavy. - It's quality.
- It's feels sturdy.
- This is real screen printed.
