Enjoy.

you know, I am 42.
I have not loved a tv show in decades. Roadkill is like hanging with the guys my age.
I truly enjoy this show.
This one is no exception.


the first v8 manual I ever heard barrel assing down the little roads here... a duster with a four speed. snappy 318 or maybe even smaller...304 perhaps. that was about 1988 or so. It all got so quiet so fast..a shocker. Great to see a farm keeping them.

I gotta say Steve Dulcich has a really nice place! I remember him talking about the vineyard he has at Engine Masters. Nice to see it on video now. Hope all is well Steve!

The Crop Duster, sounds like a lot of behind the scenes fart jokes ready to happen.


How many farmers have a lot of old parts and speed parts squirreled away? I wonder how many FE, Cleveland and Modified engines my uncle has in his barn.

I watched episode 39 too......the low rider.....flat out hilarious!

[RockJustRock]

Looks like Dulcich built a Duster and DF watched. And in the end it runs about as well as a good 340 car but handles really badly. Well done.

So is Dulcich that tall or are the Roadkill crew midgets?

[STINEY]

Nice 8-O too.

Can't wait to see this one get finished and driven often.

Great episode. Big Fat WIN! One of the best, in my not really humble opinion. I love that it ran and ran pretty hard!

Freiburger alluded to his fear of painting, and you know he won't drive it once it's been painted. DON'T PAINT A DAMN THING. Dulcich may have hexed it already.

Great to see Dulcich and the farm, what kind of dogs are those? Steve?

A "good" 340 is probably worth more than that whole car is worth... and a new (insert sport version of family beater here) would probably outhandle both of them.

Motorhome engine, used heads, used cam, 12's, and it's NOT a Fox body. Well done indeed. I like this formula.

The mom dog is a chihuahua mix. Just showed up one day and couldn't shoo her away or catch her. I thought she was a he, until she had pups in my basement. Others are her mutts. When she had the pups she obviously could no longer run away when she was with them and I was able to tame her.

[TheSilverBuick]

Great successful episode! Seems like all the work I do, try, nope, try again, nope, maybe the third try?, nope, I'll get this eventually.

12.39 @ 113mph......how did they get to run sans seat belts at least ?

And did that header continue to glow red,or was it forgotten once the hood dropped ?

[squirrel]

Nice build, in the roadkill style. Kind of not roadkill like to end up with a decent car, though

they probably set the timing eventually, and fixed the glowing header problem.
