hey it's Freiburger I'm here on the set
of Roadkill Garage and at this episode
of Roadkill Extra I'm going to give you
a sneak peek to everything that we've
got going on in some upcoming episodes
you can see Dulcich is right there
standing behind the movie light making
magic happen with parts we're working on
the Dirt Track Challenger right now this
is the car that we bought in an episode
of Roadkill up in Oregon and Finnegan
and I got the thing running and we did
that episode we did another one where we
raced it at Roadkill nights but we never
really dug the car that much to tell you
the truth even though it's a nineteen
seventy Challenger which is cool and so
Dulcich and I are making it really good
as you can see stay tuned for more on
that one but let me show you a whole
bunch of the other projects that we've
got going on here's a hint by the way
right there this is the Crusher Camaro
the Hot Rod Magazine / Roadkill / Freiburger
Crusher Camaro now if you've been
following Roadkill Garage you know that
we've started working on this thing we
built the engine in one episode and then
we put the engine in the car in another
episode and there's always a choice in
production of man do I run those
episodes consecutively or do I break
them up and I decided to break them up
we ran the episode about building the
engine and then I think we did Dulcich's
truck then we ran the episode about
putting the engine in the car and then
we did something else so the car sits
here sort of half done waiting for its
next step you saw another Roadkill Extra
where Dulcich started fiberglassing in
the grump lump hood scoop that's going
to be on this car and so right now it
sits in limbo looking terrible with a
half installed hood scoop with Pro
Touring wheels and tires with completely
the wrong stance for the engine and for
the scoop the car looks like a complete
mess and so that's what we're going to
be fixing the next time that you see the
crusher camaro on Roadkill Garage is
it'll have suspension it has a new gear
star transmission which is super cool
Gear Star actually just signed up to be
an official
sponsor on Roadkill which is nice because
their transmissions and all kinds of
stuff so that car is the only one that
actually fits around inside all of the
time and under a car cover welcome to
daylight it's always weird walking out
of the shop which is like pitch dark
into the bright Sun to hang out with the
puppies hey dogs what's happening come
here buddies I don't know if everybody
completely knows the road killed dog
pack this one here is Big Joe he was the
first one to show up he literally just
appeared one day and he was hanging out
with us and this guy came back and said
hey that's my dog like okay he's like
I'm gonna come pick him up like okay he
never did and so now Big Joe lives here
and I don't know why but he's clearly
the leader of the pack this here is
Brownie so Big Joe had puppies with a
little chihuahua and there was like five
of them and the ones that have survived
so far are Brownie right there and
Blackie right there you can see Blackie
is called Blackie because he has more
black on him he's obviously a brown dog
but he's black up here and he's got some
black on his tail Brownie over there is
more brown and he had a brother Whitey
but unfortunately why'd he got killed by
the pitbull next door so we can show
you his corpse out in the vineyard if
you'd like and this is Terry Terry is
our most recent addition she's will
still a little bit skittish sheep kind
of our worst dog she sued off the table
she's not that terrible and yeah that's
Terry ok there's the vanishing paint
Challenger that thing we have plans for
this was like on the second or third
episode of roadkill garage it's another
70 dodge challenger this one's mine we
pulled an engine out of an old dodge
d100 pick up and put it in this thing
and we've now hopped up that engine
rebuilt it and everything we used it on
an episode of engine masters it had a
balance problem we've taken apart we've
put in it back together this thing is
ready to go our ultimate plan for this
car is to make it a really cheap
handling car and
try and see how we can match it up
against a brand new challenger as far as
performance goes that is not on the
current schedule that's just sort of a
fry burger and dosage fantasy so I don't
know exactly when that's going to happen
but that's what's supposed to happen to
this this is actually a 70 Dodge Dart
340 4 speed car back here we've got the
dosage 100 the d100 also known as the
Mopar muscle truck we do not have this
one currently on the books to do
anything for an episode although we
probably will because when you saw this
last time when we raced it against the
Chevy muffle truck from roadkill at
Tucson dragway this thing didn't perform
as well as we really needed it too
because he had a shifting problem with
the thing and a massive traction problem
with it there's another episode of
roadkill extra that you'll see where
he'll describe more about what he's done
with the traction bars which were added
since the last episode and also an eight
and three-quarter rear-end went in this
thing which wasn't really shown in
episode when we first built it but the
latest problem is it went to the chassis
dyno I think it made 360 horsepower at
the rear tires but the ring gear broke
off the torque converter well not the
torque converter it's a stick so on this
thing it would be on the flywheel and so
now it can't start and so we're going to
have to take the transmission out of it
replace the flywheel will probably put a
different collection the thing make it
through the transmission shift and get
it back together and I think you'll see
this thing on roadkill garage sometime
in the future although there isn't a
current plan for it well there are way
too many more parts here right there
this is the crop duster we have started
to paint the crop duster in fact we've
already started filming the episode here
and there dolcett already went and took
all the rust off the top took it all the
way down to bare metal and then just
shot some primer on it but unfortunately
he did sort of the last minute thing
which we often do in video which is oh
we got to move on we got to get stuff
done he didn't use the ceiling primer on
it because he didn't have any at the
time that they needed to shoot this
thing and you can see that it's already
lifting from sitting out here and so the
body works done on it but this is going
to have to get taken down to bare mad
again so that we can feel it and paint
the whole car you can see the
windshields out of it because we need to
fix this right here which is kind of a
disaster if you look at a lot of
episodes that this cars been in be it
roadkill roadkill garage you can see I
had a piece of white duct tape or gaff
tape over this hole but we're going to
fix this the right way this thing also
has a big chunk of rot here where the
factory lead is so where you have to
chip all this lead out and fix whatever
is going on right there and clean this
up this is really the only really
horrible part of the car it does have
some significant like hideous old
repairs and things on it but you'll get
a whole episode of roadkill garage
finding out about how we're going to do
all the bodywork ourselves and paint
this thing ourselves right here at the
dosage barnyard what else is actually
coming up on the show that I can show
you oh we're going to have to Trek all
the way back here into the back this
thing has become a parts truck as a
matter of fact if you watch the episode
coming up where we do the dirt track
Challenger that we're working on today
you'll see that I made a big part of the
grill out of offender that used to be on
this truck right here before dosage got
in an accident where that somebody hit
him and they mangle that fender and so I
use that fender for sheet metal parts
cameraman Brad sneezing you can't handle
the pollen from the barnyard you know
what dosage is not in a great business
anymore look at those vines literally
dead on the vine he's doing roadkill
stuff full time now look here's the hood
to the dirt track Challenger sitting
around one of the key things to me about
what we're doing this episode is sanding
off all the yellow and getting rid of it
just spray painting it black I never
could stand a cheapy paint job on that
thing let's see any other updates on
stuff happening for roadkill garage you
can see some of the vehicle still
sitting here there's the episode of
roadkill that i did with rick KOA is
with that flat fender jeep right there
the black one the other flat fender jeep
actually belongs to Steve's brother
and they've had it since they were
teenagers and so that's pretty cool over
here do you remember the episode of
roadkill garage where we rescued this
thing from rick pei wei's backyard I
think a 67 jeep panel truck and there
will be an upcoming episode of roadkill
extra well you will learn way more about
this particular d100 this was the one
that I remember Steve driving more than
any of the other ones before he finished
the gold Mopar muscle truck and he'll
get in-depth on that and another
roadkill extra and I think two more to
show you okay the crew cab Chevelle our
66 chevy chevelle that we built in a
couple of episodes one of which we raced
against lucky Costas Chevelle and it's
just been sitting here rotting into the
ground ever since which should not
surprise you at all look at the
spiderweb action in this thing wow
that's good check that out oh there's
even more under the steering wheel
that's almost artsy look at the light
coming through the web so what happens
when stuff sits out here but despite the
neglect this is actually a pretty cool
car Oh see here's the biggest problem
look at the dog over here on the right
look at brownie here in the field the
bunnies get under the hood of the
vehicles and that dog gets up on hood
and scratches them all up and chews on
stuff brownie you're lost quit it quit
it yeah look at that look what he just
did to this truck that is the worst
problem with the roadkill garage dog
pack is brownie will do this to get at
bunnies under the hood here comes Big
Joe to see what all the commotions about
look out behind you camera bread Big Joe
anyway I was telling you about the crew
cab Chevelle our plan was that now is to
see how fast we can make it go top speed
we want to leave it sort of as low buck
and sort of you know cheese will be put
together as it is but find out if we can
take it to like a stand
niall event or something like this do
you remember we just bought this engines
from you know buddy of ours who just had
it sitting around we don't really know
what's inside it in fact we haven't even
put headers on it or anything stupid dog
but I think if I took it to a standing
mile event and like put an air dam on it
lowered it more tune this thing better
put you know a few different cards on it
i can probably get it to go I don't know
a hundred and forty or something like
that and that's our plan is like you
know what their motor sports events all
over the country and you sit around your
house thinking man I could never afford
to do that and the thing is you can even
with garbage like this and that's what
we're going to prove when we put that
together and then there's my jeepster
watch roadkill extras like go back and
motor trend on demand history and you
can find all the roadkill extras i think
this one it's probably like it number
170 something one of them was the day
that i picked this thing up and i told
you all about this 73 jeepster actually
it's not jeepster it's a commando we
have a dream for it I don't know if
it'll ever actually happen so this is
not in the firm plans for roadkill
garage but I would really like to put
serious horsepower in this thing kind of
keep the stance you know don't turn it
into a killer rock crawler don't
prerunner it I want to have just a lot
of horsepower and a four-by-four that
can actually put it down you know maybe
take it to the dunes just drive the
thing around I don't know what'll end up
being we've talked about taking the
general mayhem 440 and putting it in
this thing we've talked about it what is
Big Joe doing look at Big Joe now the
brownie has trained every one of these
stupid dogs to just maim cars all right
I've had enough of this that's it for
the throat kill extra there may not be a
roadkill dog pack the next time you come
back see you later
