Waitll you see that car go around a dirt rally course. You will **** your pants!

I love this show. They are whack and I love it.

I just love that there’s not a bit of fake anywhere. Those cable shows drive me nuts with the forced drama. Roadkill has managed to maintain it’s purity through 7 seasons so far.

Hoping to meet up with CP on Sunday to hand over some Poncho parts and inquire about a timeline on getting that boat anchor from him.

It has become glaringly obvious when they stage the impending schedule tragedy on the cable car shows. Half the **** they invent is not even how it works. None of this actually works this way. The guy on Phantom works is a total putz.

Give me about two years and it’ll be all yours

They tear that motor home 440 charger around a dirt track in that episode. Will bring a grown man to tears of joy.

The general mayhem is my favorite... i also love when they build buy a cuda on the way to a drag race and get it running well enough to give it a shot of gas for one run. Impressive stuff. I envy their ingenuity

I’ll have the 462 built by then!

There’s the rub. I probably have enough to get the long block together. And then I’m another grand or two away with radiator, accessory drive, converter, all the little things that add up.

It’s funny because they both have a good skill set. Finnegan is actually a pretty decent fabricator. He’s got some nasty home-built jet boats. Freiburger is good with wiring and having a vision for what will be cool. He’s a hot rod historian. They’ll go walking through junkyards and he’ll just mind-barf tons of little tidbits about every make and model.

I keep tellin ya. It’s destined for the ‘56.

 

[churchmouse]

They just ripped it up off road......hilarious.

Idk.... once the weather is warmer, I wanna jump back on that thing. Fix the brakes and take it around the block. See how much I need to keep it...

Does it actually run...???

It does, but with the exhaust leaks, I can’t tell how well it runs. Lol. The engine and trans are worth half of what we have in it. So they may go bye bye to a collector.
