    Fun fact: If a car can do the quarter mile in 9 seconds or less, you could drop a cannonball from 1/4 mile high above the finish line and drop it when the car left the starting line, and the car would beat the cannonball to the quarter mile.

    The F-Rod is the coolest and most well done project car on Motor Trend. The parts chosen and the attention to detail is absolutely perfect, (anyone attempting to wire a car should watch how this car was wired).
    Freiberger really is a genius when it comes to preserving and respecting automotive history, choosing the right parts for the build, and a vision for what the final car should look like to just be cool and fast.

    Ah, this reminds me how much I loved Roadkill Garage when I could watch it in Germany! Bring back at least your originals, I´m happy to pay the same as before! Don´t you guys like to earn money? Or did the discovery channel put you in some scammy contract? It is incredibly frustrating to be honest...

      The HR on demand press release stated that laws changed and they were shutting off out of US / Canada subscriptions. A non HR related channel located in a Euro country stated that they have to pay taxes to the US and their country of origin for any YT profits. I'm betting this applies to non YT content too and might be why HR shut off out of US / Canada subscriptions.

    • @McVerne
      @McVerne 3 года назад +10

      @@bobroberts2371 Interesting - but if that would generally apply to US made content, YT or not, there wouldn´t be any US shows availlable over here anymore...but from streaming services, normal TV networks to Payperview there is tons of US content availlable and they are still able to make some good profit out of it.
      That change of law would most certainly apply to them as well.
      I get that some networks in Europe own the rights to some of the additionary content they offered but that shouldn´t affect their original productions.
      I have to look into that whole tax thing...if it is affecting US content that hard, I wonder why MT on demand is seeming to be about the only platform having those kind of issues with bringing their content to Europe.

      Which is really nice but steel body replica is just as good and for 25k for a bare 5 window body from united Pacific is fantastic or a roadster rolling chassis with a bare body for 22k is awesome

    Why accommodate the frame for the important fuel line? Two potential leaks and is complicated. Modify the frame for smooth transition and no restrictions.

    Just to nitpick you to death, the pin you pulled to release your toolkit was neither a PiP (which stands for Push in; Pull), nor a cotter pin. It was an R-pin! Nice ride Freiburger!
