    I hope this doesn’t come off harsh, because I am just glad to see the show, but the delivery of some of these lines just feel forced. The natural flow of Dulcich and Freiburger, can’t be scripted. This feels more like the shows that we all came to Roadkill to get away from.

      Any time I see them I'm happy. I'm not mad too if their show is pay to view they got bills too. I do not have spare income to pay their work so anything free is a bless from the lord almighty above. For the staged stuff yeah ok not amazing but the Dulchic is a bless every time.

    I have a buddy with a 73', and he still has the factory .400 in his garage, but we built, and dropped in a .440 magnum. In 2006, we put on a 6 pak.
    I have another friend that has a 74', we bought and built a .440, and dropped that puppy in. That one, we restored. No rust now with tons of mini patches, new fenders and quarters, trunk extentions floor pans, we painted it in January up in Michigan.
    Everything was taken off and removed except the rear-end, which was done the following year.
    But from start to finish of the initial project...
    10 months. First car show... first place out of 20 car in the category, and it was all. MOPAR.

    I've gotta say that the improvements at the Dulcich compound look fantastic!! Getting alot of those vehicles out of the weather & away from the rabbits was a awesome move!! Protect those investments!! Can't wait to see this Muscle Truck evolution completed!! And as much as I'm a quarter mile fan, that Charger is SCREAMING vintage NASCAR!!! It's got the right stance already!! Best of luck to you all!!👍

    I had basically the same car back in the 80's. Same year, colors, and trim, but with a 318. "Broam" trim pack i think? Awesome to drive, kinda floated down the road, hood looked huge , and you could never forget to shut you blinker off with the little blinker lights on the hood facing back at you. Great car!

    I always thought the truck demanded a big block, that’s why the small blocks kept blowing up.I guess now it will be happy. If Eagle 6.4 heads flow 330 cfm stock I’m betting on 375 for those. My bid on the horsepower is over 600 hp out of that Little Hemi. Since you have farmer roots maybe add some “Warlock” pinstripes and oak side rails to taste. By the way Indy cylinder heads makes a “ModMan” intake for the Gen III Hemi that can take a six pack setup,dual quads or a single 4 barrel. A SixPack Hemi has a Nice ring. What a Great little Truck. “A little HEMI Express Truck” maybe.

    Only tome ive killed an engine is running it too lean

My Dad worked his way up in a Chrysler Dealer to be a Service Manager, from 1950s to 1975, when I was a young boy in the early 70s he would sometimes bring home a new muscle car , best one was a road runner big block ,I think it was a last of the 440 1972s , my brother and I loved it. I think my Dad missed his job at Chrysler as he worked as a Insurance appraiser, so he brought home a 1973 big block charger se,,, He died to early of Cancer, think about him every day,. My dream would be to one day find a 1971 to 1974 Charger to take my kids for a ride in it and I can tell them stories about their Grampa they never got to meet. Steve ,he would have loved watching you You are a good man.

    I understand why they partnered with dodge and got a TV deal to further there show but what made roadkill special was just Mike and David going to junk yards with no money and build some random concoction of a car for the sheer why not aspect they have build some amazing cars over the years and I know this is the next evolution nicer junkers and better ability to make everything save and legal in a shop with a lift and parts and help but its just not the same,
