good for everyone to see what it was
like five bucks
hey welcome to this episode we should
probably call steps are under the hood
that's kind of a name for we are or
tried actually from where we are could
be in the hood in there
undisclosed location but it's in the
hood you can bet that but with a
roadkill what's your official title
dammit i don't know i'm just like the
David calls me comic relief comic relief
but i think im just like that
fix-all stunt double for a real mechanic
we're here with roadkill comic relief /
fix all that stunt double mechanic
mechanic lucky yeah and it's gonna walk
us through a study Bob here because we
should probably split you know
roadkill's explains couple of times they
shoot so much they need some hand
working on their cars working on their
junk
I mean they do almost that they do
almost all the work themselves but in
some cases but not so lackluster stuff
like running cooling system or you know
dig the rest out of the water out
exhaust the real sexy jobs they call ya they
call me for the glamorous it up so you worked
quite a bit on a stubby bob and Pappa
wheelie pop a wheelie was gonod feel
good I and what did you do on this truck
um mostly the cooling system again fix a
couple of things the charging system
cooling system and then I've done some
maintenance on it like I mean little
known fact this car had a clutch and for
the camera a clutch the steering column
and a brake and the gas pedal
well now there's a boat v-drive about
where the gas pedal supposed to be and
it doesn't have a clutch so heated the
brake pedal and bent it around the
steering column and pulled it up with a
classical used to be i think i should
put the class bell on ebay because it's
a moneymaker
so now it's gonna get it's a goofy brake
pedal over here and for the Gasper with
the break used to be in here it looks
kind of natural in the car I wouldn't
drive it much
let's take a look you've been driving my
dads right on the block but it's driven
bit doesn't want friburgo know right
yeah I don't know let's let's pop the
hood and see what you got the motor when
she got the motor that lack thereof
right
so you did this cooling system yeah
what's what's unique about this versus
you know
oh that's what cooling system history
narrower and up here
yeah and instead it's higher and back
there used to be an engine right there
you know as a man but i forgot about
when this whole project started they
drove in with a flathead yeah and called
me and said lucky take out the stock
drivetrain yeah so I actually that's
what I think that's on my youtube maybe
they got some footage over to but yeah
so me and Kayla took the front end off
in one piece left the hood on didn't
take the hood off just got the motor and
really and stuck a forklift and just
lifted everything and pulled it right
now almost flattened it's pretty small
yeah but if it on one pallet with their
little crash box transmission that comes
with its another so much room for
activities and yeah I told you should
put like a kegerator or I don't know
maybe a seat I figure we should move
this and put one of the subaru brat
seats room with ya that pop the hood of
this
yeah when public adjusting entry and
just have a little hole rides 45 but i
usually I picture right now hole right
there with the glass canopy like a
helmet yeah home it and that's person's
yelling witness mean right now exactly
no I would like to get the credit for
that if David or might decide to do that
it was my idea to put a seat in the
front and sell right now it's on video
unless someone gets hurt or whatever and
I had nothing to do with it's the
dumbest idea could plausibly everybody
ready exactly
I and the negative terminals are still
the same actually i just left out there
on purpose of going nowhere because now
we're gonna feel like it that's why wont
start the battery's not there so how
difficult was you know routing all the
stuff in this cool it wasn't really
difficult i mean i did the radiator and
then I see the bracket has two sets of
holes down yeah and I got it all done I
start to get wait a minute common sense
says if you want to fill the radiator
ever this is the radiator and the
engines up here I might have the
adjusting so this is the actual height
of the upper radiator hose and really so
you pop off the upper radiator hose and
you feel it here until it bubbles out
the back yeah then you kept everything
quiet and drive it
this thing also doesn't see a lot of
time at idle running either to write so
you're not going to have on the Power
Core i saw this guy's driving up and
down the aisles looking at a really good
listening
there was a ambulance they're called the
beer hbu Lance did you think I didn't
like an ambulance and they sold beer
gave beer at its back and next thing you
know this is parked there go figure
it's you want to close to the Bering Sea
exactly XD wanted the pain with yeah
they were driving around so let's go
around the back and you know gotta pay
homage to this the shrine of engine here
yeah this is so wild yeah these guys are
crazy as a wild so when when they first
told you this was happening what was
your reaction you know what's funny is
when they cut the frame and I saw some
footage of them rolling the rear end up
the frame and taking five feet or six
feet off the back and then driving it
down the street I was just like wow that
looks crazy
yeah but oh that's cool so you don't be
a burnout thing and whatever and then
when I saw making engine plates they
kind of still didn't tell me what they
were doing and then i showed up one day
and they had just the block sitting on
the back I was like do I could not have
called this for all the money in the
world so and then everybody course want
to try and you know move back for the
Yankees you're really i was just like
this will never do a wheelie really and
then I talked to the guy that the motor
i think the motor is a total junkyard
motor and it was a day that the junk car
was selling everything for wait
yeah it's like a hundred and fifty
dollar engine and they cleaned it up and
put a turbo on it i guess on the dyno
and it popped out like 900 horse on an
ideal situation conditions and then like
a perfect let's get a blower and stick
it on that $150 piece-of-crap motor and
I guess it's crazy horse power because
you see the video yeah just use the
boost get upstairs right on the back
wheels the gearing is still kind of a
mystery to because I mean if we walk
through that the how works there's
transmission v-drive and then the rear
end is a two-speed we're into speed rear
end and we don't really know what the
ratios are on it right no no the video
I've we kind of know the ratios are uh
they do
yeah but i love it the automatic you
would hope we know yeah that's right
that's the best part that transmission
is like six or eight thousand bucks i
was like it's all what and it's like a
thousand-dollar controller on it I was
like what did you guys pay for this
track they didn't pay that much when I
just like how the further down the power
you go the more vague
no more presents the work exactly like
it's about one the one about 32 poker
look like when they did that when they
did the wheelie and it was just sort of
rolling on it wasn't a mass yes I want
to burn out to right I i don't know if
it would mean all this weight over the
room
yeah right over it can I think they want
to just put a couple wheels on the
inside of this role it really doesn't
burn out for dad and said that drifting
for Justin yeah they need to do wheelies
for Justin what you do is you build out
a piece of metal here that go out and
get yes yeah just lay on that just like
RCA did it just right I'll stop right
there yeah but the front suspension kind
of broke when ya been examined right
yeah fatigue spring
yeah exactly they're older than me so
that's that's pretty old are they going
to ever play centres had already been
done
no I haven't done it yeah so I mean they
may have I don't think they have caused
the car still sits a little she's a
little crooked with the headers look
even yeah it was was crazy about this is
I think like everybody when when
freiburg everything we're doing this
interview we were constantly nobody
thought of work yet nobody nobody
fucking work that's the cage a hater
yeah right there and I was just like
everyone in the group but that's the
story of roadkill right guys like in the
fight of all the odds and physics and
science and math like still triumph at
still pull it off you can pull it off so
it was what was like exceptionally hard
was an exceptionally hard work on this
actually everything is pretty
straightforward I mean since the
aesthetics didn't matter as a matter of
fact I got aluminized Piper I went out
to a local muffler shop yah i got a
bunch of aluminized pipe and said put up
40 give me a couple of these on a 40 and
90 4890 and then I just cut the sections
out and put rubber hose in between yeah
but was also those aluminized spider
don't think these look okay that i made
these at a bare metal is directed at
laughter so it's kind of say the first
thing that says why did you get the nice
pipe that they have any old rusty stuff
like a little age but it's not even it's
not aging we might have my repeats of
patina gonna take some time for Tina
exactly some protein protein and I've
learned that one recently i like and
then this with that is amazing
yeah that was this is the floor this is
the back of the cab yeah this is the
floor i think this is the all these the
14 inch pieces of NASCAR yes we took 14
inches outdoors so there's one on either
side and then everybody thought they
were getting this back for borrowing the
passenger seat out of that thing over
there but this is a section of the hood
of the bone marrow
yeah yeah but the best part was I went
back in they had made a piece of carbon
as we owe you this much metal and they
take it over the whole like hey who put
this stupid sign and I pulled it and
there's like a big hole cut out i love
it so it's okay
good one fellas don't leave your cars in
the ten yeah they cannot be trusted
metal will just disappear they cannot be
just like and feelings in charge over
there yeah so you would think he would
say don't take that it's just LA he was
no help yourself except from here
he was probably thinking if they keep
taking that off bone marrow eventually
will just disappear we love humor if
it's very weak and others will be so
funny when they come in we're gonna put
the hood on the camaro so it doesn't get
rained on
wait a minute let's pop the door and
look inside here we probably know i can
see that that Ben job like that that's
pretty that's pretty wild as a patent on
that there's a patent on that the safety
box around the video I've well it's not
just around the bead drive if you look
underneath the seat
mhm its thick wall steel right oh and if
I got your airplane that's a big giant
airport to pick so yeah I call that the
nard garden and I asked him do you know
we need to do something under the
backseat of the bone marrow to really
well do those pieces of metal yeah but I
asked Mike okay who gets this who gets
the colostomy bag who just has to poop
themselves when i asked them because you
need to put something under the seat
when this thing comes apart it hasn't
yet though it's been wisely resist crazy
you know I've just driven it briefly
here
yeah and that is the drive is sketchy
yeah maybe let off the gas in here
direct geared ringing I was like
something's coming apart i've been a
partisan have much experience with the
drives now either I mean I drove a boat
once and you know it's between my legs
and they told me what it was going to be
like I don't buy their voting was it
supposed to be cool there is it don't
know anything about what some of them do
yeah it's like endurance style I would
certainly had pumping oil in and out of
it but a really good I think they're
just full of oil is full of oil bath and
they're cooler on this or is that your
help now
no I mean have fun now operating
instructions that there's an operating
most recent story was to go over make
sure it runs the people that transport
them to the different is that like I
won't start we have to guess we did and
i get it i find that the fuel pumps burn
up because they left ignition switch on
so i wrote on and off on the ignition
switch with a silver pen that's that's
this guy here right and then I love very
simple instructions turn ignition switch
off so when they get out they can see
that first thing that's that's very
helpful
what's this is it basically going to
become a traveling like roshawn a roach
sideshows is essentially that's why the
better term from roadkill for the all
the event something go to so people can
see this at rebel advance that i think
it's going to see me too right yeah it's
going to see what a seamless and it was
just that orange county fairgrounds ok
ok honey there are we gonna get Hank you
ever left ignition switch on because I
got called to do a little extra work
we're gonna have like a tetanus shot
booth right next to you would think that
help so I touch this a lot and you know
I'm gonna go get mine
yeah well thanks lucky sure buddy whats
around study Bob about my project but I
love working on it operates still the
strongest that was a good someone made a
license plate that pop a wheelie
actually look pretty mean we're saying
that you thought there was a gun rack
and here i thought yeah that's the funny
thing
yeah I mean it's illegal in California
to do such a thing but i may or may not
have brought my AR today
ok because I thought there's a good
right I worked out a 48 earlier in the
week and thinking that thing had a
Stetson holder stepped into it yeah on
the roof we take off your hat it's a
little spring loaded clip and hold your
steps without messing up the brim very
important i had a gun rack don't think i
would be so funny if they were expanding
around the camera they look up there
they AR hanging in the back window but yeah
I would do that in this California I'm
sure there's a federal offense against
AR anywhere I don't think you can't
you can pop it in there you just can't
have any you know bullets in there I
actually know you can't yet you can put
it in there anyplace with California and
on that note thanks for watching this

with this guy and more Roadkill cars sure
