Crusher Camaro Retro Revival Begins! (2017)
The 1967 Chevy known as the Crusher Camaro has a long history at Hot Rod magazine as well as on Roadkill and Hot Rod Garage. Most recently, the car was transformed by Hot Rod Garage into a Pro Touring machine with supercharged LS power, but the fans spoke out: They wanted the car to return to retro! Starting with this episode of Roadkill Garage, that’s what’s gonna happen. The newest look for the Crusher is inspired by early-’70s NHRA Modified Production drag cars, and this first installment shows the transformation of a BluePrint Engines 400ci small-block Chevy into a tunnel-rammed, retro monster making about 560 hp! Best of all, this episode features 60 percent more fire. Stay tuned later in the season for future installments of the Crusher Camaro’s retro revival.
Roadkill Muscle Truck vs. Mopar Muscle Truck (2017)
Lurking in the background of many episodes of Roadkill Garage is Steve Dulcich’s 1973 Dodge D100 stepside pickup, his pet project loaded with a 550hp, 360ci, 7,000-rpm small-block Mopar and a four-speed. In this episode, the Mopar Muscle Truck comes into the spotlight as Dulcich and David Freiburger finally wrap up the last details of the buildup that have been lingering for more than a year, then hit the road. A shootout with the LS6-powered Roadkill 1974 Chevy C10 stepside seemed like the obvious plotline. But can the famed Roadkill Muscle Truck outrun the Roadkill Garage Mopar Muscle Truck? Inquiring minds will watch the episode to find out.
Crusher Retro Revival Part 2! (2017)
See the Crusher Camaro get its eighth engine in its 23rd year as a project car! This 1967 Camaro has been built in a number of different styles in its time with Hot Rod magazine and Roadkill, and in Roadkill Garage episode 14 we initiated the latest makeover into an early-'70s drag racer by reworking a 550-horsepower small-block into retro style. In this episode we'll install the engine along with a radical TH350 transmission from Gearstar, then fire it up as motivation for the next steps on the way to hitting the dragstrip.
The Off-Road Challenger! (2017)
There is no episode of Roadkill or Roadkill Garage that out-Mad-Maxes this one, because absolutely no one these days hacks the sheetmetal off of a 1970 Dodge Challenger to fit giant off-road tires and go desert bashing. Except Freiburger and Dulcich. And even if people did slice up desirable muscle cars, they’d be smarter than Freiburger and Dulcich and wouldn’t drive them into a lava flow during a 100-year sandstorm that strips paint, shreds skin, and tears up eyeballs. Ah, but there’s no glory without suffering, and this time on Roadkill Garage, there’s plenty of glory. Not only that, but the guys turned a mundane dirt-track race car (seen in Roadkill episodes 54 and 56) into an unforgettable E-body off-roader. BTW, don’t worry—this car was no rest candidate to begin with.
Do-It-Yourself Paint and Body! (2017)
One of the most daunting jobs on a car is bodywork and paint, but Roadkill Garage’s Steve Dulcich has no fear of hammers, dual-action sanders, and body filler. On this episode, he’s going to attack David Freiburger’s 1970 Plymouth known as the Crop Duster and show you his techniques for quick-and-dirty body repair with fantastic results—but not until he manages to get the car up on three wheels while hooning around. As longtime followers know, initiating paintwork can be the death knell for a Dulcich-Freiburger project car, but this time Dulcich swears the Crop Duster will be back on the road in no time. This is Part 1 of the paint and body series. Look for Part 2 about painting and detailing the car.
