Roadkill Garage

Why can't you leave something lying around in the shop? Someone will take it, of course! On this episode of Roadkill Garage, David Freiburger and Steve Dulcich have nabbed the '56 Chevy 210 that Tony and Lucky revived on episode 69 of Hot Rod Garage. It was once a 1965 NHRA H Class Champion, but unfortunately, its body is complete garbage … even for Freiburger and Dulcich's standards. Now the guys have decided to body swap it with some better sheetmetal that Freiburger has been hoarding for far too long.  Follow along as they ditch the rust and holes and bring this car closer to its former glory with some passes at the Kingman Street Drags on Route 66!

Ever heard of a Chrysler Conqueror? It's OK if you haven't, because this isn't just any vehicle—it's a vessel. That's right, on this episode of Roadkill Garage, Steve Dulcich finally convinces David Freiburger to work on his 1975 Chrysler Conqueror boat and test it out on the lake. This Mopar Muscle Boat, which uses a 318 V-8 with a Jet Drive over a standard 135-hp outboard engine, is one of only a few hundred ever built. There's no doubt these engine masters know how to get the 318 running, but will they even bother to see if it floats before hitting the water? Will Dulcich's unrivaled enthusiasm change Freiburger's doubts about boating? Find out the answers to these questions and more on this episode of Roadkill Garage!

The guys are finally making some progress marrying the 406 Cleveland engine to their Jeep Commando. They get the drivetrain sorted out, fitting the engine to a Chevrolet transmission, then show how to stuff everything into the Jeep body.

The guys bring back the Cadillac-powered AMC Gremlin known as the Caddy Gremmie and put in a fresh 500ci powerplant with hopes of taking it all the way to the Roadkill Zip-Tie Drags Powered by Panduit in Tuscon, Arizona.

Freiburger challenges Dulcich to a showdown between a newly acquired cheap truck and the almighty Ford Muscle Truck. The challenge is this: Can a '74 Ford F-100 long bed with a 360 FE engine be just as much fun as the FMT with just a few hop-ups?

The guys work on multiple projects. The Clevo Commando gets some rear-axle attention. Then the Crusher Impala's engine is removed and diagnosed, and the Caddy Gremmie's engine issues are solved!

Freiburger and Dulcich bring back the Wreck Runner, their '68 Satellite Road Runner clone. The guys fix a handful of issues -- brakes, torsion bars, shifter, seats, overall tune and more -- before thrashing it out on the dirt.

The blown 498ci big block is back from the dead! On this episode of Roadkill Garage, Freiburger and Dulcich revive the previously rained in and ruined engine with a full top-to-bottom rebuild. Will the '69 Crusher Impala get back to its amazing burnout distance glory?

Freiburger and Dulcich tackle the easy task of upgrading the handling of the T-37, only to have their most infuriating build to date. Will they bounce back to improve in the six-clod test, or will the springs of 2020 keep them homebound?

Freiburger and Dulcich ditch the '56 Chevy's 265ci V8 for the homebuilt 500-hp COVID-350. With the addition of a six-speed manual trans, and the wheel hop issue fixed, the question is: will the added power lift the front end, or cause the stock rear end to depart itself of gears?

Last time you saw the BJ-5, it left a yard sale of parts on the track after racing against the Off-Road Challenger. Freiburger and Dulcich fix the Jeep and thrash it in the sand, leaving only one question: will the supercharged powerplant be too much for the axles?

After years of paint and body work, it's finally time to piece the Crop Duster back to life. Freiburger and Dulcich get the engine and trans back in the freshly-painted beauty after adding some extra cubic inches. The 383 has been stroked to 440ci and finally fires up!

The masterpiece that is the Crop Duster is finally done—if you don't count the interior, that is. In this episode of Roadkill Garage, Freiburger and Dulcich finish the '70 Plymouth that has languished away on the farm for so long. See how it has transformed from junk into one of the nicest piles in the Roadkill fleet, and undoubtedly one of the best at brutal burnouts for distance!
