Roadkill Extras

In Roadkill episode 71, you may have spotted a thermometer in the off-road Hornet that showed the temps in the car were as high as 120 F on some days of filming. To try and combat this, Finnegan experimented with a homemade, portable cooling unit for the car. Watch this and decide for yourself if it was worth it.

The cry of “Thermoquad!” became famous in Roadkill episode 23, the one where the guys build the General Mayhem ’68 Dodge Charger using a 440 engine from a motorhome. Freiburger announced the Thermoquad as the only carburetor that punishes you for going to wide-open throttle. But what is a Thermoquad, really? Watch this Roadkill Extra and you’ll find out.

Every once in a while we shoot two Zip-Tie Moments during production of an episode of Roadkill Garage, but we only use one in the final cut. Here’s the leftover from episode 24 as Freiburger and Dulcich wrench on the Crusher Impala.

Roadkill.com editor Elana Scherr and her hubby Tom are into some unique Mopars-often heavy-duty trucks. Their latest is a Dodge crew-cab dually that looks like it came from 1984 in a time machine. Check it out in this Roadkill Extra.

The hardest thing to shoot for an episode of Roadkill is what we call the cold open, which is that little teaser that runs right at the start, beginning with “This time on Roadkill…” Sometimes we shoot a bunch of them, as you’ll see here in an outtake reel of failures from Finnegan and Tony in the most recent episode with Stubby Bob the wheelstanding dump truck.

Today’s wideband oxygen sensors and air/fuel-ratio readouts are fantastic for carburetor tuning. In this Roadkill Extra, Freiburger installs an Innovate Motorsports unit on the Crusher Impala and explains how it works.

The Vette Kart is Roadkill’s famed 1985 Chevy Corvette that/’s been gutted down to nothing but a chassis, an engine, and a rollcage. You haven’t seen it in a episode in quite a while, but it’s coming back for some serious insanity. Watch this Roadkill Extra for an update without too many spoilers.

If you do nothing else, jump to 8:50 to watch Steve Dulcich in powershifting action! This Roadkill Extra is an extended reel of Dulcich and Freiburger blasting around in the 1967 Mercury Cougar after they installed the 363ci Windsor engine in Roadkill Garage episode 23. Lots of great sounds, killer shifts, big speed, and super sketchy steering and handling!

It’s Roadkill Extra episode 352-that’s the displacement of one of the Ford FE engines, which is the perfect time for David “Fordburger” to talk Fords. All of sudden we have a bunch of them around Roadkill land, as you’ll find out when you watch this Extra.

This behind-the-scenes moment from Roadkill Garage episode 24 will reveal Freiburger and Dulcich waiting in the Crusher Impala for the video crew to be ready to film as Freiburger walks you through some of the procedures and equipment we use in every episode to capture the hosts as they drive around in junk cars.

There’s some decent shopping advice here as Roadkill host David Freiburger walks you through many of the things you need to think about when considering buying an aftermarket disc-brake conversion kit for your muscle car. The Crusher Impala is being used as an example while on the set of Roadkill Garage.

The Roadkill Zip-Tie Drags event is coming back to Tucson in January 2018!

The Mopar Muscle Truck is Steve Dulcich’s 1974 Dodge D100 loaded with a 360 small-block and a four-speed.

In yesterday’s Roadkill Extra we refreshed you on the overpowered Mopar Muscle Truck, and in this one we’re giving you a sneak peek at two more pickups that are coming up on Roadkill Garage.

Here’s a fun reel of the blunders and glitches that were edited out of Roadkill Garage episode 23, the one where Freiburger and Dulcich installed the 363ci Windsor engine into the 1967 Mercury Cougar.

Once in a while you just can’t stop Steve Dulcich from blowing cash on a new project, and sometimes it’s not even a car or truck.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, but the gearhead fun never stops on the set of Roadkill Garage. Watch this Roadkill Extra for season’s greetings from Freiburger and Dulcich and to hear some of their New Year resolutions.

We’ve got a new spin for some episodes of Roadkill Extra and we’re calling it the Dulcich Joyride! Basically, it’s Roadkill Garage host Steve Dulcich going out and thrashing various project cars and personal vehicles for no apparent reason other than sideways action, tire smoke, and entertainment. In this first installment, he derbies the 1984 Mazda RK7 from episode 59 of Roadkill.

This Roadkill Extra is a reel of bloopers and outtakes from Roadkill episode 70, the one where the guys must rebuild Finnegan’s 535ci Hemi a couple of times before they are able to race at the Roadkill Nights event.

In many episodes of Roadkill Garage, people have seen a booger-welded engine hoist made out of oil-field pipe. In this Roadkill Extra you’ll learn about the legacy of that long-time implement of engine removal and installation.

The guys at Roadkill Garage recently removed a 292ci Chevy inline six from their 1967 Chevy C10 pickup, but that doesn’t mean they have no love for the six-in-a-row. Follow along as Freiburger gives a little background on the most commonly hot rodded Chevy inline six family.
