Registrace 22. 09. 2018
Join my son and I as we show how anyone truly can create a derby car. We started with little to no experience with working on cars (basic oil changes, etc.) and now with the help of others have the knowledge to build a stock derby car that can compete with the best stock cars out there! We started as DemolitionNoobs...now we build 6 or more derby cars every summer!
This page is meant to be helpful to anyone trying to make a derby car or entertaining if you're a derby fanatic like my son and I! :) Happy to help if possible to answer any questions. Comment in videos and I'll try to get back to you quickly if possible.
We also get footage of as many of the local Demolition Derbies in our area of Western PA and Eastern Ohio that we can attend for those who participate in them so they can see the footage of the show they put on.

Stock Derby Car Final Build (2002 PT Cruiser)
This is a final look at my 2002 PT Cruiser with a brief mentioning of how I set it up.
Shout out to my little girl Nora who came up with the paint design idea of a back to school school bus and painted it for me :)
This car was wrecked into a guard rail and has damage on both sides but is solid still and motor has barely over 100,000 miles on it. It's risky as it was wrecked and the wheels are slightly turned in up front but nothing seemed catastrophically wrong with it visibly so I decided to risk it and buy it.
We'll see how she does when she is in the derby pit.

This is a first look and then different looks as I built a stock compact derby car out of this 2006 Hyundai Elantra. I show what the car looked like when I got it and then different looks as I stripped it and built it into a stock compact derby car. She's rusty all over but pretty solid looking up front and I had a Elantra last year that was really tough. Hoping this one puts up a fight as well.

Good job yesterday my cars junk now
Hey yo I was number 100 but I broke my axle and the car stopped
What kind of paint did you use
@@tayacada4616 Just cheapest paint from Home Depot. No special brand or anything. They all rub off as derby goes on no matter how expensive they are
I’m working on building my 02 pt cruiser I’m having trouble with the fuel line. I’m trying to use an external fuel pump but I’m stumped on the return fuel line.
@@AndrewRader-qj6rv Ahh yeah the external fuel pumps I find tricky. Thats why I like running stock fuel cell. By trouble you mean you can’t figure out how best to tie into it? I do it under car under the front seats typically. I know some guys take fuel lines straight out of migof
@@demolitionnoobs just the amount of pressure. Right now I have a MSD pump and I’m afraid it’s got too much fuel pressure since there is no return.
@@AndrewRader-qj6rv Yeah might be. Thats why I don’t mess with external fuel pumps 🥹
Take the heat sencer out that's what kept happening to our Jeffy one and the battery box area
I've heard they're good as either stock or building it up.
@@DamonMan They take heat really well and the frame rails seem really tough. This one I threw together quick as we were remodeling a house and had a battery go junk on it. Car was perfectly fine 🙄
@@demolitionnoobs So how did it do all together? I have a 97' sitting waiting for me to build. LoL
@@DamonMan Got to 4th before battery went junk on me even though car was fine. Sold it to a buddy to run after that
@@demolitionnoobs Nice! Good run!
I’m running a 07 tomorrow night, bone stock gut and go, your videos of these cars over the years have helped me a lot, thank you sir!
@@31jeffburton Glad to hear they’ve helped you some. Have fun and keep those front wheels clean 👍
Great battle there at the end. But 13 should've put the nose to work instead of the ass. If it would've went any longer the 52 would've won simply because he was more maneverable.
I mean it looks good… but as far as a demolition derby car goes, that era Hyundai would be outdone by a car made of cardboard and paper…
The only reason I lost was because I lost breaks in the middle of the derby and I rolled in that corner
I can’t stop thinking about breaking my stick early
@@reecejacklett7527 Lesson learned. Good run still and a 🏆 to go with it 👍
@@demolitionnoobs yeah
When are you posting the youth derby?
@@reecejacklett7527 Should have all videos go live tomorrow late morning from last night 👍
@@demolitionnoobs thank you
I hope you got my helmet flying off my head on clip
6 mm not quarter inch
See ya tonight!
What the hell are you talking about snow coming down your fucking wrong there's no snow
This el Camino is a sand bagger
Excellent video... flag monkey at his best... Never go to this shitshow again
You should come to the columbiana county fair August 4th. We get a great turn out of cars and a lot of good drivers
Damn this is super good quality!
Trailblazer maddog a da year!😅
When will Saturday night Street Stock Compact be uploaded?
@@CiaraRupp Saturdays Night Two derby I should have all uploaded by Wednesday July 31
Looks like they accidentally held the demo derby on the track that was set up for the mud bog races. It's time for Smart cars to start showing up in these; they're built with a full frame and they're tough as fireplugs.
Do you have Fullsize street stock heat?
@@jerrymartz4452 Tomorrow the 29th the rest of night one will be uploaded.
Great camera quality!
That was a good show. Give #17G the Mad Dog award. I know nobody wanted to attack the Imperial - and I don't blame them - but you'll never break it if nobody hits it.
Great filming! Also I don't think I have seen a caravan bend that bad before!
Yeah, almost like a 90s taurus lol
Were you only there on Sunday? And how close are you to chataqua county bc all the derby CZcamsrs are never from around this area and I’m in cataraugus county btw. I run youth in the area if you look up the chataqua county prostock from this year I’m car #669
@@user-wf7lc1qu7v Wasn’t able to make any other shows then Sundays. Not close that’s why I don’t make it to all the shows
@@demolitionnoobs oh I was just wondering because I didn’t think it was a big enough event to attract people to make their way to it. Most people that run around this area are local so I didn’t expect people to travel
What a wild ride thank you for recording the madness
I would start running the fuel line off the engine though the fire wall on the passenger side this way you don’t have a chance of getting caught on something on the ground or this problem of the back pushing in on them. Just make it safer. A please get a battery cable from a hhr a just hook it to your start a then get another one a find where the main ground is hooked on the block. Instead of using a u bolt.
Heck yea 69s
You should get a demo car 🚗 ready for the butler farm show demo Butler pa August 9th
Knox homecoming derby?
Man knows reverse hits wins
This is the first derby I’ve seen where someone smokes someone else’s drivers door and then the guy who did it gets upset 🤣
The front and rear look like two different cars. You mentioned it was a nine-car field, so I reckon you had lots of room to maneuver and line up good shots. Congratulations.
Did you record Dunkirk fair ?
@@danieldillenburg5167 I did. Camping with family this week though so it’s hard to edit/upload. Friday morning the 26th first half should go live. Sunday I should have the Full-Size shows up 👍
@@demolitionnoobs awesome just waiting for prostock compacts Thankyou for your videos!
@@danieldillenburg5167 Pro Stock Compacts will go up Friday Morning 👍
why are camera people always at the side like this, such a terrible angle. needa be mid way up teh stands and no close zoomed in shots
@@DTWFU I understand your point as when you are close you can’t see entire Pit and all the action. However I’ve found and enjoy the intensity of being right off the track with a little height if possible and allowed by the promoter as you can see up close and feel every hit! Positives to both approaches. It usually depends on the venue and promoter how I’m able to record
Hey did you have a problem with it shutting down and not restarting. Also mine idles really rough. What are some fixes that you did.
@@davidmoore954 If you are referring to the cobalt yes, I’ve had idling issues due to the fact I damaged or removed the air box. The cobalt 2.2 Eco Tech motor seems to need the entire air box that sits on top of the throttle body. If you remove even the end where the air filter is, it messes with system/idling it seems. If you didn’t touch the air box and it’s not damaged, I’m not sure what your issue is as the 2.2 is a good motor
@@demolitionnoobs during the demo the car shut off and wouldn't refire on the field. I got it home and it fired up but no throttle whatsoever. Now I can get in it and it runs and drives the air box is intact. Because like you it ran like shit without it on. But I'm still having idle issues. I can make a video and send it to you.
@@davidmoore954 Ahh I see. Sorry to hear that. My knowledge of engines isn’t the best. If the air box and throttle body aren’t damaged I would look at wiring to see if during derby a wire got crushed/busted around motor/air box and that could be it. If not I don’t know that I can be of much help Good luck. Those 2.2 Eco’s are good little engines but that air box is DUMB! 🙄
@@demolitionnoobs thanks much. And they are dumb as hell.
Great job out there!
Great run man your on a roll
The plug that runs across the front bumper can be unplugged by the passenger firewall, you can get to it easier if you remove the AC lines and vacuum for the cruise control, pull it out and run it back up through the driver side
Thanks for sharing 👍
Can’t wait for the Jefferson detby
I just use a pipe plug for a dummy sensor
I always used them to seal up the vacuum system, too.
@@trevor9766 Appreciate you mentioning this in comments. I’ve heard of different ways people plug them but never one as simple as this. I’ll do that for my next run! Thanks 👍
And all you really need cage wise is a bar behind the seat the sides of accords imo are really tough
I know on the 02 and older honda accord 4 cylinders you can loop the rad lines and they will run 20+ mins and the front frames are stupid hard but I'm not familiar with this body so im very interested on how it holds up
PT Cruiser DOES look a little like a bumblebee, don't it? Tell him to always attack the wheels and KEEP MOVING. Hope you plan to record the derby for us. Looking forward to at least hearing and seeing how it went.
Yeah, you might be able to sell off all of that plastic, if you weren't too rough when you removed it. I would cut off the forward tips of the fenders even with the wheel well; they look like they're begging to dig into the front wheels after a couple hits, and they add little or nothing to the structural stability (yes, I know they look cool...).
I’m building a rusty 07 right now, your videos have been helpful for me, can’t wait to see this build too
You running in Jefferson county saturday
@@tempexy Having some issues with fuel for car but believe I have it straightened away. Should be there 👍
