1) The Crop Duster is pretty cool. 2) Minimum fail so way to go guys! 3) Last and most important, The General is getting Hellcat Hemi :D It's a good time to be a Roadkill fan.
I learned how to drive a stick in a 1972 340 Duster 3 speed that my Dad bought back in '73. He passed and left it to me and my brother. I started restoring it today. It is a beautiful hemi-orange.
As I'm rewatching these episodes binge-style for around the 4th time, I've become amazed at Freiburger's father-like patience for all the antics that happen as his cars' expense. The man is a rock!! On the flip side, it's equally amazing that as soon as Finnegan touches something on a Roadkill epi, the damn thing magically breaks or dies. Truly magic I tell ya.
if I stumble upon a tent, me and my tool box are gonna be squatting on Steve's farm and he's gonna love having me ! roadkill is my fantasy life when ever I cuddle up with some hi=jacked WiFi!
This kinda makes me sad that part of that Charger charm, an old clapped out motorhome motor that yet proved to be so much fun and burnout-worthy is not in it anymore, but seeing this Duster actually having decent performance despite being almost as butchered as the Charger was makes me happy again :)
yes agree ... i like the fact that these guys push the envelope and keep up with the times with old and new .... good job keep it up and thanks for the great videos ....... biggest fan over here and if you are ever in Staten island ny look me up will have a nice welcome party for you with tons of classic muscle cars and coronas.....
When I watched this before really restoring my 1978 Trans-Am I thought this was only hard because they normally choose towards a wreck condition. My 78 is in really good shape and just doing the seat belts was an all day thing. Massive respect to these guys for doing anything with the engine or transmission.
in the 80's me and my cousin drove a Duster 360, Man you talk about fun, we had to put in a clutch system.. the old one was shot. But back then, we did not have a alignment tool. so we did as good as we could. we ended up having all forward gears, but no reverse, But it was fast, we smoked the tires so many times, raced everyone who was willing. and it was TONS of FUN!!!!! And banging on headers, yup, I did that too, when installing headers in a 1978 Camaro!!!!
Don't worry you only need about a grand worth of tools to do what these guys do :) It's not a cheap hobby! But tools last a life time and you can start off with more basic stuff and build your kit as you go. And if you get a job with no girlfriend or kids you actually will have plenty of money to work on cars! Really you would. Just learn from Freiburger, he lost that nicely orange painted duster for an engagement ring.
sirgallium I know its not a cheap hobby but its really worth it. My school has a program that lets you fix a cobra so that the school can later auction it. I just love to get my hands dirty and feel proud of my work when I look back to what I fixed. I was thinking of buying a 80s datsun 280 and restore it, but sadly I dont have the money :/
Aaron B Lol! yeah that..and you really never see old Mopars in a "in progress" street look. They're either way far gone or perfect. The Duster and Mayhem are right up my alley. I've always kinda had a soft spot for Dodge/Chrysler stuff,my first car was a 78 Cordoba then a few yrs later I had a 64 short bed sweptline.
Gavin Cayan nah.. he mention her in some other episodes when he needs to get home for like her birthday (if think) and when they are out on mothersday :) '' we need to get home to our wifes''
Leland Holton When they first looked at the car I noticed the hole and thought they would need to patch it . I figured they would weld it but tape works also especially on this show .
+duhjuh its most likely proprietary to Motor Trend. Actually a lot of the music they play in the episodes sounds extremely familiar to music you would here in the mainstream just that they changed the notes to make it their own. TV shows have been known to do this as it brings back memories of familiarity of the subconscious. Sounds a bit far fetched I know but studies have been done.
Fantastic. Old school mechanicking with the mistakes showing, getting Mopar beaters up and running, entertaining commentary, this video has it all. I wonder when Dulcich finds the time to run his grape farm, but what a hoot (setting aside the blood, sweat, and tears of a days-long rebuild) this must be to have it all come together. Best lesson learned? Always read the instructions first.
@@ItsJustFranko Depends on what you want--you can sell that 440 to get the engine you want. If it was a free 361 big block, would you still use it or sell it for a 360?
@@ItsJustFranko yes and no. a free flathead lying around may not make the same power as a DOHC aluminum V8 you paid for. Or you are looking for a car that handles--power to weight ratio will become important then. Even going in a straight line, do you really want a nose-heavy dragster?
I'll be honest 100% that is insanely cool how you guys go fine cars make em run and get incredible results from it maybe one day I could do my own sort of road kill project. love that mayhem gosh that's awsome
I would LOVE to see an unorthodox build on Roadkill where they do something crazy and ditch the V8 for a Slant 6 build with a trubo and nitromethane or Turbo Blue. You have to excuse me because I speak my mind when I enjoy something like Roadkill, but I see V8 swaps all the time, I just want something different like a straight 6 build in an old muscle car or something weird like that. Amazing show guys! Happy to have been around since the 2nd episode!
I bought a 73 from one of my buds at work that had a blown up 318 & 3 speed stick- also had a 440 out of a polara d-derby car. the two never made it together- found a slant six, installed it and had a daily driver that served me for years, would run fine on the worst regular one could buy, and delivered 25 mpg on the hi way. Plus it was red, had the rally wheels, and looked great from 50 feet away. Sometimes the low road is the path of least resistance.
I think the thing I like most about this show is it reminds me of how excited to have junk, high school gearheads are. As well as how dubious the fixes can be.
In 1971, my gumba, Tommy Lee, bought a Valiant, 4-dr., Slant 6, 3-spd on the floor, with a police package. About the most balanced, useful (and fun) car, I have ever driven. I've had OG Z-28's, Griffiths, Jag 3.8S Salons, HiPo 271 Mustangs, the list is long and eclectic, yet, that Valiant sneaks into my thoughts. C'mon, climb out of that box you're stuck in.
Yeah, me too. I would have rather cut out the wheel well to extend power steering bracket and not alter those headers. Im sure there is a bracket for that 440 application. or make one on a cnc machine.
MarcixB my predicticns, 1/4 of he way down the drag strip the motor mounts break off, engine rocks foward, fan into the radiator, driveshaft through the floor, and tranny in a peaces
I hope that tire smoke doesn't contaminate those beautiful grapes! But seriously that thing sounds so awesome, and has a great mad max look to it. I'm only a little confused why your protecting the inside of the trunk from over spray, i mean will that over spray destroy the look of the car?
I love your show, I enjoy working on cars too...I want to thank you for showing 🎥 your love for the dogs and cats during the show and at the end. It means much to me and show you are good people. Thank you for that.
I want to thank you guys personally for putting together a great show with the Plymouth Duster that was my very first car and it took me 10 years to build it I then had to sell it because I had my first born son I have been waiting for almost 15 years to get my hands on another one the way things have gone for the past 2 years of unfortunate lock and hard economy it looks like it's going to be another 15 before I can touch this car again just wanted to take a moment and tell you guys how much I appreciate the little things that you don't take for granted a junkyard Duster is just as good as a factory brand new the fact that you took a 440 out of an RV and put it in a charger then in a duster absolutely amazes me once again in the bottom of my heart thank you for the time and effort that you guys put into your show and showing up the world that all you have to do is push and use what God gave us our brains and balls I would sell my soul to get my hands on a junkyard Duster or even a duster.

Nathaniel Gnau no shit numb nuts. But BUILDING the Duster didn't make them money, Optima and Dodge MAKE them money. I had my opinion and since you don't like it GOFUCKYOURSELF or GFYOU
Awww so butt hurt. Ask Freiburger about dog viewing value in Roadkill and viewer preference. You obviously are a johnny come lately fan. Or just a butt pilot with a computer.
I went overseas in '71 and came back with a handful of unspent cash. I had planned for months that I was going to find a '70 Duster 340 and make it scream. Couldn't find one. Not in months of searching around the Washington, D.C. area. I ended up buying a '70 Cuda 383/335, but it was never the same. Blew up the 383 and planted a 440 in the hole. Cool sleeper with the 383 decals on the car, it loved eating 396 bow ties alive. But it still wasn't my small block Duster. Many years and big block Mopars later I finally had my chance to build a small block. Figured on popping it into a '68 Dart skin and terrorizing the San Fernando Valley. Built a punched out 360 with all kinds of cool go-fast parts ('69 2.02 Hi-comp heads, even) and ended up stuffing it into my '79 D150 while my wife tenderly put my wardrobe on the curb. Still wasn't the same as my dream Duster...
I do this drive shaft shortening opp all the time for the past 30 years and never had a shake or failure so don’t believe ppl that say u can’t. Some have no real alternative. MOPAR2YA
my mom bought a brand new 69 Dodge dart I was 14 years old and learned how to drive that car you know I thought I was slick! I got to look at all the hemi roadrunners in the showrooms before she bought it wanted her to buy one of those but she wouldn't do it
Is the orange duster a 1973? Looks like the one I had in HS and I wrecked it the morning after graduation. Would love to find a replica for a hobby EDD
does anyone else wanna see them do a ricer showdown of some sort? I just think it would be fun to see the guys build some cheap rice rocket and just have some fun in it.
Idk why , but Steve is my main Motortrend dude . Such a likeable character. His sketchy antics , laid back attitude and help anyone he can spirit 👍
I met him at the first zip tie drags and he is a super nice dude very genuine

With 8:1 compression you can run the thing on piss and still make 350 horse at the tire lol

Steve Dulcich is a national treasure.
I think the drive shaft work was exemplary. I'd not attempt that. Truly a skill lost for us younger techs. We don't have it
Your friend Steve Dulsich seems like a really cool dude
I went overseas in '71 and came back with a handful of unspent cash. I had planned for months that I was going to find a '70 Duster 340 and make it scream.
Couldn't find one. Not in months of searching around the Washington, D.C. area. I ended up buying a '70 Cuda 383/335, but it was never the same. Blew up the 383 and planted a 440 in the hole. Cool sleeper with the 383 decals on the car, it loved eating 396 bow ties alive. But it still wasn't my small block Duster.
Many years and big block Mopars later I finally had my chance to build a small block. Figured on popping it into a '68 Dart skin and terrorizing the San Fernando Valley. Built a punched out 360 with all kinds of cool go-fast parts ('69 2.02 Hi-comp heads, even) and ended up stuffing it into my '79 D150 while my wife tenderly put my wardrobe on the curb.
Still wasn't the same as my dream Duster...
I do this drive shaft shortening opp all the time for the past 30 years and never had a shake or failure so don’t believe ppl that say u can’t. Some have no real alternative. MOPAR2YA
Teacher: follow the instructions
*halfway the exam*
Teacher: no erasures
Students: O_0
Can’t say how many times I had glowing red headers breaking in a cam. Love this project, as I built a 72 with a 440. Wish I still had it.
No episode 40?
James7796ify this is episode 40. We'll blame Dog for that mistake
Woah thanks for the response i love this show!!
Hi From Long Island- James

James7796ify yeah it was
Your buddy looks like s big kid with a new toy. He so Happy.! lol..
Its sooooo good to have roadkill back on TH-cam. I have missed you❤
my mom bought a brand new 69 Dodge dart I was 14 years old and learned how to drive that car you know I thought I was slick! I got to look at all the hemi roadrunners in the showrooms before she bought it wanted her to buy one of those but she wouldn't do it
Is the orange duster a 1973? Looks like the one I had in HS and I wrecked it the morning after graduation. Would love to find a replica for a hobby EDD
does anyone else wanna see them do a ricer showdown of some sort? I just think it would be fun to see the guys build some cheap rice rocket and just have some fun in it.
It left weakly but it mph well. Any kid in 1980 would love this car.
that mph could easily be an 11, needs to lower the 60 ft.
I had an optima red top shipped to me and when I got it the whole case was cracked in half.....try using that one guys lol
lol
Haha ya the adoptima, they might work fine in cali, up here in canada they ain’t so good after about september
this show has inspired me to revive a 1967 mustang i had seen i pick it up next week i want to thank the crew and hotrod magazine for the great ideas
That other guy is quite funny lol
Give Finnegan more Redbull next time.
Watching this episode years later is hilarious.
