Stubby Bob Fails, El Camino Wins, and Blasphemi Flops - Roadkill Ep. 44
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 жов 2015
- It’s a project-car mishmash this time on Roadkill, powered by Dodge. It starts out Roadkill enough, with Finnegan surprising Freiburger with a ’50 Ford 2-ton truck that the guys thrash to shorten up into a bobber rat rod. Somewhere along the way the truck gets named Stubby, then Bob, and then it really doesn’t matter because the junk doesn’t get done in time to race from Atlanta to Wisconsin for the Car Craft Summer Nationals show. But the guys have to be there anyway. Watch as they thrash to fix the Hemi-powered Blasphemi ’55 Chevy Gasser, then cannonball to Wisconsin in Roadkill’s ’69 El Camino only to show up late. But there’s Roadkill fun anyway, with action on the autocross and the drag strip. It’s kind of a big mess, but a lot of fun as usual. Because Roadkill.

these guys are the real deal. doing what most people only think of. I had the chance to briefly meet and talk to David both times they hit Wisconsin this summer and these guys are the genuine article. gearheads that aren't so full of themselves they will listen to you y'all about your junk, even tho they have a hefty schedule. thanks for the no BS men. light hearted and real
Thank you!
+David Freiburger
'70 Nova still sitting in the yard... A Roadkill episode if you ever need it.
+David Freiburger I need you guys to go through colorado..... im dying to meet you guys.... truly some of the last few good gear heads. Its about knowing where your mistakes were and accepting them with or with out compromise. I DREAM TO ONE DAY WORK WITH YOU GUYS AND YOUR CREW AMAZING
+Mike Hagen They are the real deal. Some people actually get it. That's whats amazing.
Yep, this is what the rest of the motoring world won't ever get or understand about "American". Europeans especially!
Finally they’ve brought some of the UA-cam videos back!
This guy literally on every OG roadkill episodes lol
@@ryannovel8892 yep
Thought I was crazy at first
Finally? This been here 6 years!
@@AR-ed3xw private for the last 3
farmer ted is the true mvp of this episode
This is why I love David and mike, they give zero f**ks, David plasma cuts welds in flip flops.
Finally got to watch this episode... and it was well worth the wait. Good job guys, you never fail to satisfy, epic Roadkill goodness!
I love how you show what can really happen, in the rush to have a little fun!!! You guys are GREAT!!!
Tire dude deserves a beer
Finally roadkill its back in UA-cam
I would definitely drive any of these cars to work 😂😂
It was definitely a well deserved welcome back to UA-cam. I loved this episode even though it was a RoadKill.
Whats wrong with roadkill?
Stubby was their greatest creation! 😈🤣🤣🤣🤣
May i add the musical decisions in roadkill are fantastic and i love it because its perfect lol
Sitting in 2022 May still watching Stubby Bob
Love you guies
David Freiburger and Mike Finnigan
That white S-10 in the clip before finnegan says we’ve just been saved
The S-10 is billy hoskin’s 1988 S-10 with a 406 SBC and a TT setup
The Camera man can't help but laugh 😂😂😂
Spent 2 days making a "gas tank" that can't be used and didn't bother doing anything constructive to make it road worthy, brilliant plan.
That's the whole show. Goofing around
They ARE car guys and know what to do. But Roadkill is for goofing. Finnegan's garage is where you'll see these guys do more conventional car projects that get done correctly
haha ummm you didn't see stubby bob part 2 lmao
Definition of roadkill.
My all time favorite roadkill episode.
That was the sketchiest jack I have ever seen by a long shot... 5:00
1st time i watch your videos because the repu. i owe 3 of them all at the same time. regret from sold 2 of them. my yellow one like yours was a 76. they hard to find nowadays. well good luck in find the truck.i did enjoy the time trials at the track.thank you...
Stubby Bob is a momentary slip of genius
That truck is best I seen in awhile
The fact he got the camera guy to laugh got me rolling in my seat even to this day lol
Really like the Truck. my Dad had a fully restored '48 Pickup .
Now that s The Car
Even Gta 5 has stubby bob thats how legendary this thing is
All I want now is to hear Freiburger say "On this episode of Roadkill we put a Hayabusa engine in Finnegans golf cart!"
+Steve Bohm That sounds like fun shit :D
+Steve Bohm Please use a hemi.....
+Steve Bohm maybe a sportie engine. they probably want a break from being bashed about their imports.
+irvirgil anybody that would complain about that doesn't get the show.
I hope the truck comes back. I don't know what it is, but lowered, chopped and channeled trucks with full-sized tires and duallies are just awesome. (no, not bro-trucks)
ps.. I would whine more about having harley anything on the show. The only vehicle that comes with a wardrobe...
Roadkill+Chris Harris upload in the same day=heaven!!
My thoughts exactly.
+Craig J Sounds like a Friday in heaven right???
+Craig J Came here for this!
Thinking the same
That combo has damn near replaced Top Gear for me.
You guys can do no wrong. Thanks for bringing it to us real. Keep up the good work.
+Mike Finnegan Did ya figure out what went wrong with the '55?
+Mike Finnegan u are so awesome I just want more of the stubby bob episodes
+DiamondJake01 the 55 was out of gas they said it in a later episode
+Jarrett Curley they're gonna do an LS swap on Stubby Bob.....dissapointing :(
The only other car show i'll watch repeatedly after UK TopGear
Totally man
same here
+ABR Captures
Not and MCM fan?
+zogworth I take it back MCM is another one I keep up with. Good stuff.
SAME!
the music that plays during the scenes where the guys taking apart the wheels is great
Steev Don what is that music??
Amar Dubal I do not know but I love the sound
That truck is awesome you have to do another episode with it and finish it. Man was this episode kool.
+Potaka79 The truck definitely deserves a full episode. Hopefully not three years from now. ;)
+strangersound maybe a year from now
+strangersound It's in his driveway, the big boss will clearly make him finish it.
hmmmm, do you smell that...... I can smell another hellcat swap....
I thought they sold both of them?
Yes! So looking forward to new episodes every month. Keep up the awesome work, you guys are the perfect new Top Gear in my book!
No way. Roadkill is Roadkill.
It is far more hands on and creative. I'm talking in terms of me feeling madly entertained for 45 minutes.
+HemiStorm RC - Custom RC builds, painting videos and more Very good point haha
+HemiStorm RC - Custom RC builds, painting videos and more I have to agree. As an car entertainment show this is in general better then Top Gear. Maybe with a few of Top Gear's specials like the one where they drive through Africa to find the beginning of the Nile. But maybe in a few years when this show have gain some more popularitet and get some money... I would love to see some epic road kill trips outside of USA.
yep
It's pretty funny rewatching and knowing that they didn't have any gas in it😂
yeah lol
Is it me, or is this show the best show ever? Love Dave & Mike, this joint is absolutely hilarious.
it truely is. Love everything about it
This is the best show ever, only wish you didn't have to pay for motor trend online just to watch roadkill.
I didn't like hearing that David got in trouble at work at let the fans down. Why were they even messing around buying a new vehicle and cutting it up none the less for no apparent reason if they didn't have the time?
i know that nobody is ever going to see this comment, certainly not finnigan or friedburger, but i just wanted to say that you guys are a big inspiration to me. im just an 18 year old kid in delaware but i love cars, i have been building a 1977 camaro z28 for the past couple of years and just finished building a 383 stroker for it. but the whole time it has been one problem after another, and it sucks, rate now i just installed a second cam in the motor and the dynamic pressure is still through the roof, and its frustrating. then i see you guys just shrug it off and i realise that its not a big deal, its just for fun and my car sure is fun.
This is Freiburger. We do read. Thanks for the kind words.
+mrskaterelf That's part of Roadkill's charm... they show the fails, even the really stupid ones. It's a "reality show" with _actual_ reality, no fake shit. Everyone messing with cars can relate.
That's awesome dude!! I'm 17 and I'm working on an '82 Datsun 720 mini-truck (kinda wish I had your Camaro, but the Datsun do haha), but most of my problems are just finding money for parts for the suspension, brakes, etc, but the truck runs great! Glad to see other people out there with their own projects!! And yo Frieburger, keep up the good work!! It'd be cool if you and Fin did another competition episode where you each get your own cars again, those are awesome!!! Good luck to ya!!
+David Freiburger You rock Freiberger. You're the real deal man. That's why we all watch.
I'm from de too. What part are you in
Mike I didn't realize you were my neighbor until I saw your '55 drive by me the other day
How many houses down?
that must be the best fucking surprise ever
other side of the stop sign
Wow! I want to be his neighbor.
me to
1 day the Blasphemi will run in the 10s. 1 day.
I'm Gonna take it a step further...... High 9's
Benjamin Kenney I hope so.
Your profile pic reminds me of bob lol.
Oh man just looked on Facebook and they posted a pic a few months back.... It's got a blower now and it makes like 790hp on 5lbs.... And ran a 10.66! I think high 9's are possible!
+weirdstuffanimation7 All it needs is a fuel gauge...
I live in wisconsin and that was finally my chance to meet you guys and i didnt know. FML
Now you know how I felt when they came to Memphis, TN. haha
+'89 Sleeper Mark VII worst feeling ever
+Drew Jarod I got to meet Mike once at a cars and coffee in Cali. It was neat! And the blasphemi was there.
+Drew Jarod get them on facebook they post where they are all the time.
I'm from Wisconsin too and had no idea they even came here
Ah, man... those three scenes where there was some serious gear grinding... David just cracked me up... I replayed the scenes like 20 times... knowing the feeling makes it even funnier!
that truck has less rot than my 2002 Honda. Gotta love the south.
further south inflorida, almost all 4x4 trucks have swamp rot, where the black plant sludge that we call mud gets caught in the frame, and eats out whatever it touches
I agree
I love the honesty boys, so so much respect
bless that dude changing them tires...that old school hardcore . work ethics all the way.
this show reallly helps me get through depressed times. thank you =)
why not just release some air from the tyres till the truck fits in the garage?
+RB26 likeaboss I was thinking the same thing.
+RB26 likeaboss if those tires are what I think they are, the sidewalls are extraordinarily stiff. Let all the air out and you might drop the height by 2" but you'll almost certainly break the seal at the bead which is much more PITA than having half the truck outdoors.
Figment078 It has no seal on the bead it has inner tubes.
+weirdstuffanimation7 Yes, but if you deflate and the bead separates from the rim and they move differently you have the PITA I was referring to.
+Figment078
I don't think there's enough weight there to cause a problem. And, don't forget, the tube is backed up by that big gaiter which sits between the beads. Even with the tires at 10psi the beads won't move.
.
Gator??!!
.
No, gaiter, it protects the tube from chafing on the metal wheel hub.
I am watching from here in New Zealand. This is by far the best MotorShow on the internet. I am totally hooked. You guys rock!!!!
Lol. Like your guys enthusiasm especially with all the stuff that goes wrong 😂
MAAAAAD ow wait wrong show ah fuck it....... MAAAAD!
+Chris W Hah! :D
Lmfao mate!!!
+Chris W LOL!
Mcm ;)
Not that far off tbh...
Roadkill and MCM are doing something together next year ;)
What I like about you guys no matter how many times you have fails you jump back on them horses and keep trying! Good job guys, respect.
Still love you guys. This was not a complete fail because I love having a new couple of episodes. Thanks guys!
never end your show you guys are great iv watched everything it's never bad never boring aways top notch roadkill
I love these guys. I've seen every episode of roadkill and they never disappoint.
i would of stuck a big block in it and made a cool ramp truck from it, stuck the Blasphemi on the back and roadtripped it there, quality episode though keep em coming guys
my thoughts exactly except Y-block or Ford 300 six cyl instead
+mwilliamshs How about a Cummins? Real trucks don't have spark plugs ;)
+terr0rwolf damn straight
yeah. ramp trucks, OLD ramp trucks are kick ass. I have lenghtened, shortened and otherwise mangled an repaired plenty of truck frames. it's just steel, can always be changed. Would a Turbo flathead haul the weight???? roadkill
terr0rwolf this truck has spark plugs now...is it not a real truck? I'm tired of the "put a cummins in everything" fad. They certainly have their place but it isn't EVERY place. The noise, vibration, and mass of a 6BT would make this truck much less fun. Remember this cab is just thick sheetmetal, no insulation at all and they aren't especially well sealed from diesel fumes either. A Y-block or other vintage Ford gas mill would be more appropriate to me and improve the functionality of the truck, especially if put into ramptruck duty. The flathead is prone to overheating, especially when worked hard (like a ramptruck) and is more high-maintenance not to mention less suited to sustained high revs than either the 300 6-cyl or a Y-block. My pick would be the 300 but I'm biased. It's a compact, quiet, smooth mill with lots of torque and can be had cheaply, found all over the world, and was installed by Ford in trucks upto the F600 dump trucks so a ~10k gvw would be no concern at all.
Haha love these guys, genuine no bs, such a change that TV could learn from! Just watching the intro "we've been talking about doing something like this for years"... I feel like I heard that a lot - man you guys must talk about doing a lot!?!
who else likes roadkill more than dirt every day
camo dan everyone
nah dirt every day is better
@me
Dirt every day is made by roadkill so your basically watching roadkill
It's not a competition but if i had to choose i'd definitely go with Dirt Everyday!.
That farmer Ted scene was great
Love it! An all the fabrication work you 2 do!
Finnegan and Freiberger, you did it again! Thanks!
love how u guys weld and cut and torch in flip flops...reminds me of my jeep build....love your show...
35:27 I love that Buick gnx in the background!
same
At 23:08 high five all the trees! Eco-friendly for the win!!!
XD
You can go die
omg I love how Finnegan was eating half the time this episode, keep up the good work bro😂
I really love your show you both are awesome friends and in tune with each other
road kill !!!!!!!!!! yesssssss
When you're about to fall asleep and this gets released hehehehehehheheheheh
You guys are awesome...thanks for such a great video....keep up the great work.
Dude shows up, Dude is a MONSTER lol. loved that part
I would give dude a case of beer just for doing those tires. I might buy a deuce and a half one day and i don't want to kill myself with the shot tires trying to take it off.
Cant change it back now 😣😣😣😣
ohhh dear lord thank you!!!!!
One of my all time favorite episodes hands down. Well this and the wheelie one lol
"ON THIS EPISODE OF ROADKILL WE BRING THE THUNDER!!!" awesome
Stupid question: How do you know the amount of oil you need to put in theses old engines
Dipstick.
Now if you meant type there is all sorts of online information for the old flatheads.
You add a quart at a time and once the dipstick reads full you know how much
Love this show but I'm getting a little tired of them never having enough time to do the actual cool thing they set out to do. I get that that's part of the show and they're busy guys but I wanted to see that truck speeding down the highway.
I agree, seems like the last few episodes have lost the touch of the original roadkill episodes. Miss the, let's take this unreliable pos 800 miles and see how it goes.
+Brian Wierenga Normally they would have stuck with the truck but they could have lost their jobs if they didn't make it.
+Brian Wierenga It seems this time of year is really busy for them with all the events that they have to attend. Once things quiet down on that front i'm sure we will see stuff that more closely resembles the original episodes.
+dftns19 These unrealistic deadlines have a very "assisted reality television" vibe to them. It's like watching the terrible discovery channel car modding shows where they only have a week to finish a car because it makes things "More dramatical" when everyone is irritated and more likely to fight. (The car was never done in time on those shows either)
This should have been about getting that truck to go 800 miles with a self imposed deadline that can easily be missed completely (Like any good road trip). Instead, it was about getting trouble with the editors because they managed to not accomplish the goal of the video (Making the truck move more than a mile) AND they managed to miss their scheduled appearance.
Then the last 10 minutes of the episode was just them having fun with other cars. Which is fine, I'm not angry over that, but i don't watch Roadkill to watch well built cars drag race. I watch Roadkill to see jalopies do burnouts until there is a loud clank and the engine stops running.
This was such a promising episode. That truck was awesome, and I was so eager to see it make the guys suffer on a long trip. Then everything got de-railed and the truck never even went a mile. Poor farmer Joe did all that work replacing tires for nothing.
+dftns19 Definitely the most boring 42 minutes of Roadkill to date.
you guys are, like,........the most awesome dudes in the entire world
I laugh my ass off every time I watch Freiburgers face while Finnegan is trying to shift that truck!! Love it!
Was that fuel starvation on the strip?
+Mike Finnegan Hey Finnegan, what happened to the GMC you guys rescued from a junkyard? is it gone? if not, how about you get that one and the Ford to make one episode! maybe race them? lol
+Mike Finnegan Yeah! That's why we love ya! :D No other show host would admit stuff like that! Keep it real duders!
+Mike Finnegan Something felt a lil sad in this one.. We have a bombshell on the way?
+Mike Finnegan Man, that is classic Roadkill. Do you guys EVER not run out of gas? Love it. Keep up the good work.
+Mike Finnegan You seem to have a lot on your plate these days. I hope things are great, and it's just me fixating on potential stress points.
I live near milluakee, I'm in hart-land Wisconsin and i was there but didnt see you :/
I'm from Milwaukee saw the car show but not them, so I'm kinda in the same boat. :/
+Ben Neitzke i walked around the whole thing too, must have been too early or too late
I really hope we will see Bob again, it is great idea, You just need a few more days with it. Maybe roadtrip while fixing it up, getting trailer mid-trip to get some junk. Or anything, but just make it happen this or another year.
Thanks for great show guys!
Haha the beginning: grind, drill, BEEP!! 😂
"'50?"
"Yeah"
"Flathead V8?"
"Yeah"
"Really?"
"Yeah"
"Does it run?"
" *PAUSE* yeah."
I love this episode, the 1st episode I was introduced to these guys by
anyone know the song at 26:50?
No need for a bobber, but this should have been stretched and made into a wedge/ramp truck.. How cool would that be????!!!!!
+Steve 1961P. They mounted an engine in the back and made it a wheelie truck instead: facebook.com/RoadkillShow/videos/637259676429294/
***** That was Finnegan's plan the whole time.

This is one of my favorite cars you guys have worked on I love the black exterior.😀
“And he has to move his golf cart” typically mike. lol 😂
Damn, never realized he lived in a damn mansion.
Rich wife? You tube money? I thought he lived in the hood in LA
Georgia is dirt cheap, compared to how much he prolly paid in rent in Southern California especially LA, he's prolly paying fraction whilst owning a true home in Georgia.
These kind of projects really get me thinking about the past.
Back then they'd have straight sixes and y block v8's in this model.
And the dude making a part for the car would have no idea that the car he was helping make would be chopped to have a shorter wheelbase, or that a rear mounted monster V8 with a supercharger and blower made out of other vehicles would power it and make it stand on the tow bar.
Nice stuff Guys keep doing what doing :) im injoyin it
lol why do they censor shit but not fuck
Song Lyrics I didn't notice that in this episode but I've seen others where they censor fuck but not shit. I'm guessing they want it to be a family friendly show but maybe miss a few beeps.
does any one else see the golfcart at :4 28
I love hearing you guys laughing,it makes me smile :)
I love the paper bag with the guy with the :-) with the baseball cap the bag was a nice touch it made him look better LOL
sad. I love old trucks, especially in that fantastic of condition. I could see taking some frame off, but that's too much. It doesn't look right.
+Brad Taylor - I think it looks ridiculous, but its still badass
I agree I would shorten it up to but that was way too forward for me
+BISCUIT TASTER yea i agree
It is better than someone abandoning it for 30 years
i'm with Brad Taylor thats too much shorting
i still think they should have left the frame full length
@ 23:08, dont know if its the camera angle, but it seems like the rear axle isn't square, looks like cab is crooked even tho going straight, something is out of alignment
Yeah it dog tracks pretty hard. I don't know if they fixed it when they put the big block in it. I saw them twice in texas for power tour back in june and once in Milwaukee at the summer nationals (which I did the midnight drags in) back in july
Wade McKenney I know
Wade McKenney Or at least had about 3 feet longer wheelbase. Would be more pleasing to the eye.
Creepy Cooter what are you doing here cooter. This isn't demolition ranch
this show gets better and better
Blasphemi is one of the coolest cars on the planet. The style and finish on it is exceptional. Love the '55 - best looking of 50's Chevy midsize cars.
Good show old chaps 🌦️my favorite car 55 chevy the blasphemi. & The Elcamino I owned a 70🏁🏁🏁🇺🇸
The music made me laugh XD when farmer ted was smackin' the rims.
pure fun! Love these videos
Loved slowing down for the Deer !!!! LOL
I love the truck!!!!!!I want one so bad!! great work guys love the show :-)
