He&#8217;d recently sold his 1969 Charger and was ready for his next project. Enrique was planning on restoring the Grand National back to factory; he even went as far as rebuilding the original engine, but right before he was about to install it, he came across a salvage 2016 Dodge Charger SRT<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Hellcat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1171\" height=\"1562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dodgegarage.com\/news-api\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/projecthellnational002.jpg\" alt=\"vehicle engine\" class=\"wp-image-40754\" srcset=\"https:\/\/test.api.dodgegarage.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/projecthellnational002.jpg 1171w, https:\/\/test.api.dodgegarage.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/projecthellnational002-432x576.jpg 432w, https:\/\/test.api.dodgegarage.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/projecthellnational002-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/test.api.dodgegarage.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/projecthellnational002-744x992.jpg 744w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1171px) 100vw, 1171px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Fitting the SRT Hellcat drivetrain was just the beginning for\nthis build, and we found it impressive that he was able to fabricate everything\nneeded to install the engine. We were very intrigued when we found out how\nwell-rounded the build is. Enrique has been very creative and resourceful with\nfitting parts from a variety of makes and models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1172\" height=\"766\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dodgegarage.com\/news-api\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/projecthellnational003.jpg\" alt=\"vehicle with the hood open\" class=\"wp-image-40755\" srcset=\"https:\/\/test.api.dodgegarage.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/projecthellnational003.jpg 1172w, https:\/\/test.api.dodgegarage.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/projecthellnational003-576x376.jpg 576w, https:\/\/test.api.dodgegarage.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/projecthellnational003-768x502.jpg 768w, https:\/\/test.api.dodgegarage.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/projecthellnational003-992x648.jpg 992w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1172px) 100vw, 1172px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In the video below, we give you a tour of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/project_hellnational\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"HellNational (opens in a new tab)\">HellNational<\/a> as it is being built.
