Hoonigan Builds a Donk - Season 1
The Donk is DONE! Hitting The Dyno, Street Session, and a Fiery Burnout at Tire Slayer Studios
It’s FINALLY time to put some power down in our donk! We brought it over for some big block tuning magic from our friends (aka Suppy’s brother Chan) at Redline Performance. This thing sounds NU...
Our Donk Gets its New One-Off Custom-Milled Wheels! Plus, Big Block CHOP
This Donk project has – hands down – the best chop of any build we’ve done in this shop so far. Zac might have to haul back out here for retribution. And if that’s not enough, today’s the day t...
Our Donk Gets a Fresh Face and Big Bass. Final Steps Before It Runs Again!
You know what the worst part about a car build is? The finishing part. So many little details, bolts, and brackets… half of which we’ve tossed or lost. But ya know what, that’s just a chance fo...

Donk Gets its Big Block eBay Crate Motor “Dropped in”, and We Box the Frame
How many Hoonigans does it take to build a donk? Probably just one, to be honest (*cough* Suppy), but dude needs to put some of us to work. So the crew showed up in full force for frame boxing, mo...
We Split The Donk in Two. And Our Big Block Crate Motor Arrives!
Divide and conquer. This ain’t no unibody, this is real vintage American metal: you can split the chassis from the body with two friends and a lift. One team is going to do body prep, another is g...
