Roadkill Garage

The long-awaited showdown between two projects is finally here! In this episode of Roadkill Garage, Freiburger pits his '69 Ford Mustang Mach 1 known as the Disgustang against Dulcich's '67 Mercury Bang-Shifting Cougar. After some suspension and rear end modifications and upgrades on the Cougar, the guys hit the road and an airport runway to find out which car is the better beater.

You can have your hot rod and your truck bed, too. On this episode of Roadkill Garage, Freiburger and Dulcich give gold medal examples of doing the wrong thing the right way with a cheap big-block/four-speed '73 El Camino in desperate need of an engine refresh. Can they fix the issues with the bad cam on this 454 that's obviously been messed with by means of a cheap at-home rebuild?

The problematic pig of a '73 El Camino named El Cochino is back. Freiburger and Dulcich address the camshaft and lifter issues that remain on their factory SS 454 four-speed Chevy, while also attempting to repair a terrible wheel-hop issue.

Freiburger and Dulcich rescue a flat-fender 1952 Jeep with a small-block Chevy that looks like it's sat at the bottom of the ocean. Dulcich found it in a yard, and after years of neglect, the guys are making it run and drive the only way they know how.

Dulcich enlists Wiley Stevens to help make the derelict 1974 Bro-Charger into an actual roadworthy vehicle. After a lot of wrenching, they take a road-trip test drive to Las Vegas, Nevada, to meet up with Chris Birdsong and compete in an autocross event.

Freiburger and Dulcich take the racecar out of the '70 Plymouth Duster known as the Crop Duster. With its new 440 V-8 and gearing, the car finally ran 10s at the strip. Now the guys attempt to make it slower and quieter for more drivability off the track.

The guys add V-8 power to their 1971 Plymouth Duster, whose seized slant-six had seen better days. With the V-8, four-speed, a beefier rear end, and some other repairs, the guys get the Duster back on the road and rescue another vehicle from themselves.

Freiburger and Dulcich rescue Dirthead Dave's 1974 Chevy K20 long-bed from storage and give it a full Freiburger makeover. With a little maintenance, a few fixes and a whole new at-home paint job, the guys see if this truck is worth keeping around.

What happens when Freiburger and Dulcich take the '56 Chevy Field Car, Bang-Shifting Cougar, and '31 Model A Ford "F-Rod" to test at the dragstrip? You get two out of three down the track, and one is destined to break.

The guys try to fix the 350-powered '56 Bel Air Field Car and road trip it to the surfside Samoa Drag Strip in California. Unfortunately, an electrical issue the guys had never seen before turns what would have been beachside bliss into total disaster.

For Roadkill Garage's 100th episode, Freiburger and Dulcich hit the road on Hot Rod's Power Tour. With their V-8-transplanted '71 Plymouth Duster, the guys road-test, race and roadside-fix their way along a 1,000-mile trip across multiple states.

Freiburger and Dulcich fix a fuel slosh and delivery issue in the Crusher Impala. The 1969 Chevy roasts tires with its stroked 498ci big-block, but the carburetors have always had some issues when doing donuts. Now the guys fix it with fuel injection.

The '56 Chevy Field Car has a long and painful history, but now that changes. Freiburger and Dulcich try to break into the 10s at the dragstrip with more power. After diagnosing the injured 350ci engine, the guys drop in a 571-hp 406 that sat for decades.
