unknown.
Roadkill Garage is an all-new show that will be appearing exclusively on Motor Trend On Demand monthly in 2016. Featuring David Freiburger from Roadkill and Steve Dulcich from Engine Masters (don't worry, Mike Finnegan is still the co-host on Roadkill), Roadkill Garage finds Freiburger and Dulcich wrenching on Roadkill project cars and other things that meet the Roadkill vibe. They'll show you how to do the wrong things the right way.
Freiburger and Dulcich hit the road in a '66 Chevy Chevelle purchased sight unseen in an attempt to score two new project cars. A lack of horsepower doesn't equate to a lack of fun as the guys fix and tune their way from Washington to Arizona to rescue a dirt-cheap junkyard '75 Dodge Dart.
Freiburger and Dulcich give some much-needed love to the '69 Chevy known as the Crusher Impala by way of a new 9-inch rear and a less squatty suspension overhaul. The guys also fix a major throttle issue that finally unlocks full use of the supercharged 498ci big block before hitting the road for monster burnouts.
Freiburger and Dulcich tune up the supercharged big block in the '69 Crusher Impala at Westech's dyno before hitting the road and the dragstrip. After some monster burnouts and a romp through the desert to find a possible new project 440 Dart, the guys run the Impala's fastest time in the quarter mile, but discover some new Roadkill-level issues.
Steve Dulcich and Wiley Stevens up the cam game on the '70 Dodge known as the Off-Road Challenger, while also seeing if Wiley's '06 Subaru can easily be made into a rally-capable daily driver by way of suspension and airflow upgrades. But the real question is: will either car survive the farm's rally course?
Freibuger and Dulcich can't pass up buying a '41 Ford former race car with a 300ci straight-six engine that last saw action in some La Carrera Panamericana road races back in the late '90s. With a little tuning, carburetor rebuild, exhaust modifications and some love, the guys get the Ford back on some winding open roads.
The un-wrecking of the Wreck Runner, a half '68 Satellite and half '68 Road Runner, is an ongoing saga. Dulcich is joined by Wiley Stevens and Chris Birdsong to bring new life to the car with a shifter upgrade, new clutch and one of the biggest body mods in RKG history -- a near-full rear quarter panel replacement.
Recently, Freiburger and Dulcich were stopped by some fans who invited the guys to come thrash the Crusher Impala around their property. While there, Freiburger spotted a big-block 440-swapped '68 Dart he couldn't pass up. Now, the guys pick up the Dart and take it home to give it an impressive engine bay makeover and horsepower-adding tune-up.
Are two beds better than one? Freiburger and Dulcich revive the 318ci V8-powered '66 Dodge D100 stepside truck from Roadkill in order to dig a buried '60 Ford Ranchero out of the backyard. The Ranchero has been converted with a solid-axle front end, a small-block Chevy and a four-speed, but has been buried for over 40 years. Will it be worth the trouble?
Freiburger and Dulcich bring a '60 Ford Ranchero back to life after rescuing it from a backyard and over 40 years of neglect. With a fresh 283 power transplant ahead of the Muncie four-speed, the guys overhaul the entire drivetrain to see if this one is worth keeping, or if they should flip it.
Will it run 10s? The Crusher Impala has been down the dragstrip multiple times but has never run the number. Freiburger and Dulcich troubleshoot transmission issues and more in the 1969 Chevy Impala that's powered by a supercharged 498ci big-block V8, then take it back to the track to see if they can finally get their 10-second time slip.
Dulcich enlists help from Wiley Stevens and Chris Birdsong in order to transplant a third-generation Hemi into the 1974 Dodge D100 known as the Mopar Muscle Truck. After frustrations and issues hold up progress, the guys clean up a new project 1974 Dodge Charger and get it on the road.
Nothing beats getting a vehicle back on the road -- except maybe putting two back on the road, of course! Freiburger and Dulcich attempt to get a 1967 Jeep Wagoneer that's been sitting for 31 years back on the road from Yakima, Washington. Plus, they find Dulcich's dream 1964 Cadillac DeVille convertible in the process. These are not your normal junkyard finds.
Can you have too many Dusters in your life? Not if you're Freiburger or Dulcich. The guys add one more to the fleet. Unfortunately, this 1971 Duster in Rally Red hasn't moved since 1993, but that's not as unfortunate as its slant-six power plant. The guys get the gutless Plymouth back on the road, but it's not long before the engine reveals its true worth.
Looks like something went completely wrong!
But don't worry - it can happen to the best of us,
- and it just happened to you.
