Roadkill! The Guys Take Their Circle-Track Racer And Slap Most Of A Monte Carlo On Top, Then Street-Drive The Whole Thing!


Roadkill! The Guys Take Their Circle-Track Racer And Slap Most Of A Monte Carlo On Top, Then Street-Drive The Whole Thing!

It is honestly quite impressive that Finnegan and Freiburger actually had a car that the legal team at TEN refused to let them drive on the street. A few years ago, they had bought an amateur-level race car, bodied up as a 1995-ish Chevrolet Monte Carlo, with the intent of driving it on the street, and may have even started on the project before the lawyers nearly had a collective heart attack. Nevermind the killer Chevrolet small block, never mind the Jerico four-speed or the wide-five hubs…it was a race car. No VIN number meant no fun whatsoever. Boooo. Fast forward to the recent: The guys go looking for a shell of a car that they can slap onto the stock car’s chassis. Did they go hunting for a 1995 Monte Carlo for a couple of hundred bucks? Hell no, they managed to get their hands on the shell of what was a 1970 Chevy Monte Carlo from a guy they know. After tons of work, a small mountain of cooked and shredded Sawzall blades and a mile or so of welding wire, they created the “NASCarlo”. This could only end badly…

    One of the best episodes ever. I want to see more of this car. This shows you can have a down and dirty good time with a car and not have to have the prettiest car, the fastest car and in the case of the show a not the most solid car. Just think how solid that car would have been with a little more prep and time spent going over it extensively to see if there are any weak spots. DF & MF did a good job on this one.

    Pussies!

    Since when have attorneys and the lack of insurance stopped REAL hot rodders?

    Should have stuck with the stock car or better still sold it to buy a Ford…

    Great episode, reminds me of when I crewed on my friend’s early Monte Carlos dirt track cars back in the ’80’s.

    I’m getting worn out on all the butchered hoods. Can’t they find a factory low-profile aircleaner at the junkyard?

    So the only thing I can think of that made it break is that….
    1. It’s an asphalt racecar no dirt.
    2. You cut off half the of the chassis of the damn car
    3. Asphalt cars are not supposed to flex so when you started to chop on the chassis you made the whole structure of the car week witch made parts on the car under more stress than they already are on asphalt, they break.
    4. It’s supposed to run on asphalt.
    5. Didn’t have any dirt track racing parts
    But on the positive side that was a pretty cool build there you guys did!
