      Bring roadkill garage?? Back to RUclips?? Well roadkill was here roadkill garage never really was on RUclips but yeah roadkill needs to come back. Annoyed that they were like “roadkill wasn’t bringing in money and we couldn’t monetize it like that was what motor Trend on demand was lots like their patreon like imagine a RUclipsr being like my videos aren’t making money on RUclips or something and they have a patreon like aren’t you getting money there?? Now yeah I understand if they do that but it’s like saying a origami channel isn’t monitizable because it’s not kid friendly because that is how dumb RUclips is I’m rambling now but they well put these snippets of them here to make you spend. Hard to believe they weren’t making money I remember getting like 3 ads per roadkill episode that was 30 min long and they had over like 4 mil views something don’t add up there

      They aren’t technically YouTubing anymore. They sold out to dodge and motor trend , motor trend made all of the episodes private for awhile and then started making episodes public one by one including teaser episodes. They’re just recycling old episodes to make money from advertisements. It’s only a matter of time when they repeat the process. It’s a marketing strategy

    Really shows you what you can do, when your not afraid of getting your hands dirty! At 16 yrs old my cousin and I pulled the transmission out of my 66 T-bird with only two jack stands, a floor jack and very little tools. After about a week we rebuild it on a makeshift work bench then put it back in. It worked perfectly. At 50yrs old now we still talk about how hard it was but all happy times. Thanks for the video’s guys!! Keep it up!!😁

    Y'all failed to mention my favorite part of that motor. All big block mopars 67 through 69 come with steel cranks. If you find them with a six pack setup they come with steel rods also! 67-69 steel crank and a set of six pack rods will hold about anything you're going to put on a street. I understand they probably doesn't have six pack rods but still that steel crank is awesome!

    These episodes are great. Especially for me being I have owned and worked on so many cars like these I can so relate to everything they are going through. It all brings back memories. I still have a 68 Hemi Dart replica build on my bucket list. Just have to finish a couple of bobber builds and a 95 Trans Am flood rescue freebee straight body. Got it running and "almost" everything working. Transmission took a dump which we rebuilt but needs more road time to see if anything else gives. Entire fuel system from tank to pump to injectors needed replacement.

    Need to post a correction. The Motor Trend car of the year in 1968 was the Pontiac GTO. Not sure what year if any the Roadrunner was but I had a 69 and loved it. But my dad handed me down a 68 GTO and he was always boasting how it was MT car of the year. So I researched it and sure enough, it was the GTO. Really miss that car. EDIT: Just checked. The Roadrunner was MT car of the year in 1969. You were only one year off. Only minor differences between the 2 anyhow.
