    Do you like how the Satellite turned out?

      I think the title is a bit miss-leading, this car isn't restored. It's cobbled JUST enough to drive, and that's it.

      I have a 1966 Dodge Charger all original except it has a 66 Coronet front bumper. Not in as bad of shape as this car, but needs a full resto.

    To protect internals of an engine that has been setting for a year or more, 1. remove plugs 2. spray lub in cylinders 3. change oil/filter 4. crank over with no plugs in, till oil pressure is up in order to lube bearings/valve train 5. put new plugs/wires in with fresh gas and try. That helps reduces dry start valve chatter or other possible damage.

      Great advice. I love roadkill. Half of the show is them doing the right thing kinda the wrong way regardless of the consequences. And they usually say so. And like Jesse said, they don't care because they have better motors. They don't care much about the looks of a car so long as it is solid and the frame isn't bent. We'll kinda. They did do 2 or 3 shows with the only car I have ever seen drive an imaginary telephone pole as a passenger in the tront and back seats!

    I love how the Satellite turned out, especially since I have one, but it's a highly modified '72 "Resto-mod Road Runner" with a poked and stroked 440 that is now a 528ci tire frying beast! I grew up working on and riding in my brothers (who is 10 years older than I am) '71 383 powered Road Runner and it has been my favorite car of all time ever since. I was into 4X4 trucks for many years but after helping my four kids buy, do any repairs, and teach them how to properly maintain their own car (or truck) I decided it was time for dad to buy myself something I had always wanted, so I found a rust free '72 440 Road Runner from Arizona and bought it to build dad's (and now grandpa eight times over!) full scale "Hot wheels" car! I've watched the episode about Freiburger's favorite RR at least a dozen times when I'm bored!

    My first car was a 71 satellite with a 400 engine, and 2 barrel carter carb, and a 727 slapstick trans. We put a lot of work into that car trying to get it to pass smog. (Back then California required a smog cert on that year). We kept getting bad new carbs and the car would not pass the smog test. About 4 new carbs later we finally
    got a good carb, passed smog and I drove it for a few months. Until it threw a rod. It was a great first car, I bought it from a neighbor for $300. Paid for it with my own money I made working as a stock boy in the local mini mart gas station. Watching this brought back a lot of good memories.

      Great name. Brother had a 70 super 🐝 383 and a 71 'cuda conv. 383. I'm pretty sure he said cobble. I've never seen roadkill coddle anything. I thought I heard that the first time too. And he says it shortly before pulling the oil filler cap, almost gets steam burned and does a celebratory whhooo whooo steam whistle!!!! On the spot diagnosis. Terminal illness. And Steve drives away.

      I have discovery+ and they didn't have any roadkill on discovery+ for two years. They only started putting roadkill episodes on there again in June but I think there's only three episodes on there from this year. Before that the last episode was from around may 2021.
      I used to watch roadkill on here every time it came on them when they announced it was going to be behind a paywall I was very very disappointed. I'm not going to pay for a website to watch the show.
      I'm not paying for discovery+ either. When I upgraded my SKY viewing box in Februrary here in Ireland I got Discovery+ for 12 months free.
