I would like to get one someday, put flat top pistons in and zero deck it probably make a dual carb tunnel ram and make a better crank sensor off the dampener or flywheel and find a way to control the ignition with that, with headers and a 6 speed from a Cummins, not sure if that would all work but i think it would cool. probably put the motor in a vehicle better looking that a 2nd gen.
@@TheDavidFreiburger how many vehicles are running Like if you cut off a arm and needed to get to the hospital but the car needs a battery that u can do before bleeding out but like put a intake on a sbc probably not gonna happen before bleeding out
My grandpa was a big fan Mr. Freiburger. We would sit on the couch, eat some tacos, drink some budweisers and just watch Roadkill, hotrod power tour, hotrod garage, roadkill garage, engine masters. If you were in it, we were watching. He's no longer with us but the memories live on. You don't just make great content. You make an impact on people's lives. For that, I want to say thank you!
I've been watching you, finnegan, and dulcich forever! I hope you realize the impact you've had on not just my life but everyones life that watches you! Youll be a part of hotrodding history forever. Just wanted to say thank you for all the good times
Your story telling and gift with language is really what makes you one of a kind Freiburger. Lots of people on YT are turning wrenches but none of them would entertain me for 50 minutes sitting on a stool just riffing. Even without the racing, you and Brian doing commentary keeps me glued during Drag Week. Some of your Roadkill sign-offs have been down right tear jerkers. The way you can personify each car with a unique and humerous names make them co stars.
Your episode driving the station wagon and checking out old buildings, signs, and small town exploring combined with the classic roadkill shenanigans was a masterpiece!! Worthy of a Grammy award!
After seeing your 68 Camaro with the straight 6, I was compelled to share a story. I was serving in the US ARMY back in the late 80's when I had an accident and totaled my 1985 Mazda GLC while home on leave. After I settled with my insurance I made my way back to Fort Hood, TX. I went to the local Chevrolet dealership in Killeen, TX and ordered a new 1988 Chevrolet S10. I hadn't been gone from the dealership more than 5 minutes when I saw a 1968 Butternut yellow Camaro on a used car lot. I had to have that car so I test drove it and struck the deal. I canceled my order at the dealership and drove my new to me 68 Camaro back to the barracks grinning from ear to ear. When I got out of the Army in Jan of 89 I loaded every belonging I had into that Camaro and drove it all the way back home to East Tennessee. A year or so later I ended up selling the car for stupid reasons and have regretted that decision to this day. Years later I tried to track the car down but had no luck. The reason for this story is if you decide to flip the 68 you have I may be interested if it's within my budget. I've always wanted another 68 Camaro.
I'm convinced that true gearheads just like cars. I think that if we're to be honest with ourselves, all the manufacturers had their gems- and their garbage. So, there isn't one "best brand", there's just the best cars.
Very happy to see you're uploading solo content again! EDIT: Yes, I'd love to see episodes on the Ram truck and I'm sure a bunch of other people would too.
Yes do a video on your ram! Actually I’m excited to get any video on any of your cars! I’m really glad you’re posting videos and I’m excited to see what you do.
I must say Dave, the crusher Camaro has been one of my all time favorites, and the fact that it will continue to change only makes it better over time. In my opinion, that’s what makes it the iconic car that it is
Freiburger best advice I can give, is do what you want to do with youtube. There are a million car things on youtube, so do what you are passionate about and what you care to do. Personally and my opinion: You are a wealth of knowledge of cars, and cars history. I'd love to see something like that, history of historical drag strips, cars, famous drag racers, ala Hot Rod magazine article in vlog form of some sort. Along with you tinkering on cars, testing parts, taking old junk and making it better. The short of the long of it is, we are fans of you, do you, and we'll watch.
Brian Lohnes has an amazing channel where he dives into Drag racing, engine, and vehicle history. Maybe you and he could team up for some mutual content, I know you know him thru drag week etc :)
The best part of UA-cam.. a little more blue humor than what you're allowed on TV can be fun. Just PLEASE don't make the whole channel all sugary syrupy sweety diabetic shock over-the-top clean like RK 😆
I'd like to see some of your adventures on here, the ones where you get all those amazing Americana pics from. Also, as for your V10 Dodge truck, have you ever looked on eBay and seen how cheap the Viper intakes and heads prices are? Cheers!
@@TheDavidFreiburger I follow the "how to be a UA-cam star" people on UA-cam. I follow them because it is amusing how they all change like the wind. Anyone who follows their passion seems to keep the diehard fans; then UA-cam follows them.
I think this will end up being better than the motortrend stuff. Much more personable, reminds me of the older days of roadkill. Been watching you since early 2012, you always do great things!
@TheDavidFreiburger being able to have a comment section and being able to have that community conversation is what I missed on the motortrend app. Watching motortrend is a lonely experience compared to being able to talk amongst like-minded individuals and maybe the chance to talk to you too! I greatly appreciate the reply!
This made me miss the heyday of Roadkill and Dirt Everyday. We didn’t know how good it was until it was gone. Great to see some old favourites get a mention once again.
i think we all can agree that we miss the old school roadkill style videos. no fancy video, no big expensive build, just a guy wrenching on his project in the driveway keeping it on the road. and hell yes to videos on the 2500 V10 dodge
I love all the Roadkill cars but the Crusher Impala is my definite favorite! It was great seeing the reactions from the Mighty Car Mods guys when they first saw it. And every time they drove it they were laughing and having a great time!
As a long time UK based (and now former) Motortrend subscriber and follower of Roadkill since episode 1, who got booted due to geo-restrictions and how they changed how they did business, can I just say THANKS for dusting off the UA-cam channel to produce content again. I've been displaced now for about 12-18 months so I'm just really glad to be able to watch content you've produced again.. just endlessly watchable, interesting, fun content and I'm extremely grateful for it.
@TheDavidFreiburger I'm another UK guy who was watching Roadkill from day one. My favourite episode was The Lowrider in the Desert. Has me crying with laughter every time
@@TheDavidFreiburger I second this, I was gutted when dirt every day ended and I couldn't watch roadkill or roadkill garage anymore as these were the only reason I signed up to motor trend. Such a let down that they booted us off in the UK. Just glad to be able to watch you again as I have always been a massive fan of your content. All these over produced shows full of drama just don't cut it against the low buck, highly informative and entertaining videos you put out. I have learnt so much from watching and will be forever grateful for what has been and hopefully what more there is to come.
Loving the content. My kids are starting to watch Roadkill, Roadkill Garage and now your channel with me. They love watching the adventures and the cars. The oldest just bought his first car at 13 and we are dailying it for him and upgrading. Thanks for inspiring the next generation of gearheads.
Side Note: I really liked the Torino Wagon road trip video. I didn't think I was gonna sit there for an hour and ten, but I did. Oddly, the nostalgia held me.
David, I think most of us would watch you do literally anything to any vehicle, including the Ram (which is a killer truck btw). You are an absolute legend in the car world and have inspired gobs of people to get out and work on their projects, including me. Looking forward to seeing what you put together on this channel.
I like your idea about assembling the "other camaro". I would enjoy seeing you do the lowest buck possible assemble. You should use the covid 350 for an engine, and just about anything that you can beg , borrow, or steal. Most of us don't have a lot of money to play with cars. It would be a salute to the early Roadkill days and not getting it right, just get it running. I love everything you do, so you cannot disappoint me. Thanks for all you and Finnegan and Dulcich do.
I’m a big fan David! On HRPT 2016 you and Mike were repositioning Stubby Bob and my grandson fell in love with it right then and there. You took a minute to talk with him and set the hook! 2 weeks ago my now 15 1/2 yo grandson drove for the first time in my 5 spd FE powered Mustang! Looking forward to continuing this adventure that started with the Junkyard shows!
@@TheDavidFreiburger I’m the guy you hear screaming in the background every time you put a flywheel on a Ford engine without a block plate! BTW there is a great little hot rod shop in Cañon City Co. you should check out.
I didn't think you would sell the "Disgustang"!!! Watching Roadkill and Roadkill Garage has totally changed how I own and build cars. Everything had to be show quality before, like my 69 GTO I've owned since high school (1983) but now I have a 70 Challenger R/T with a motor home 440, horrible paint, all original interior and I drive the crap out of it. There were many others in the last 10 years or so and there are cars in my shop getting the "Just get it running" treatment right now.
With Motortrend falling off (mean no haste in that statement) I am so excited to see you and Fennigean uploading to youtube more. I miss the golden days of roadkill when it was uploaded regularly and not behind a pay wall. I have no problem supporting content creators or paying a monthly membership but it sucks to pay monthly membership to only watch it maybe once a month because I don't care for any of the other "scripted" style shows. Keep doing you the fans will follow and make sure you can keep producing what you love to do!
David for me, watching you all these years I have learned that your knowledge of cars and engines and automotive in general You are a treasure .....the content you have brought to the internet is amazing and you are in a category of your own. Wishing you the best and keep sharing your knowledge....thank you
Ditto, it always amazes me when he pulls something out of his beautiful brain, I'm thinking how the hell does he know that 🤣 he must have a photographic memory.
What I like is you make having a project car accessible to all of us. I started road trips with my son and he grew up watching you. Our road trips are some of his favorite memories. We have a 74 Dodge Charger SE and a 65 Valiant with a Slant 6 as project cars. We barely have a place to work on them but you make this approachable and thats our inspiration. I hope we can get these drivable in the near future.
Man, I'm so happy that the YT algorithm decided to show me this video! As Teenager, I loved watching Roadkill with my dad, back when it was still on UA-cam. It ignited a spark of love for old American cars in me. Unfortunately for that spark, I live in Europe, so I'll just keep watching these videos, amazed at what you guys are able to drive legally, more or less, over there!
As much as I love the wrenching videos, my favorite to see from you and your MT crew are the road trip videos. Even on RKG when you guys fix something up and then road trip to a track are some of the coolest moments to me. There are a whole bunch of content creators sitting in the garage wrenching, but a serious void in the classic car road trip content, you guys are the best! We love what you do
Thank you. I have wondered for years which vehicles were personally owned by, vs. owned by MT. As to your questions about what to do...I would love to see a low budget build on your channel. Junk yard engine that you build from mainstream brands. No trick $10k heads. The work is done on jack stands or ramps. Typical DIY tools, no $2 million shop. Rather than a reality show format, how about more of a how to format. You are a great historian and teacher. No loud annoying music like MT uses. I want to hear what you have to say, the engine, the burnout. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos for us. I still remember the interview with Joe Elmore from Horse Power TV where your name was mispronounced in the late 90s.
I love old cars, but I never had anyone in my life who shared the interest and could pass down all the history and stories. I love watching you because I feel like I learn a lot about the history and culture behind these cars. You’re like an encyclopedia of vintage steel
I’m not much of a salt flats guy, but I’ve kinda been waiting for another one of those episodes. Was hoping you guys would take pig pen and make that truck a salt flats truck with the OG motor on boost or something, that would of been awesome. But I get it, it takes way too much time to build a salt flats truck and really what’s the point of going on the salt if your not there to break some records. 🤷♂️ Either way much love to you guys, I subscribed to your channel which oddly enough I didn’t know you had a channel until Tony Angelo mentioned you in one of his videos but I’m I’m lovin the history on these cars and all your historical stories. Thank you David!
So happy that you are making content for your channel! I've seen all of the Roadkill and Roadkill Garage episodes at least 5 times, so I'm really looking forward to your solo content. I hope Roadkill and Roadkill Garage have longer lifespans, because I'm also big Finnegan and Dulcich fans, thanks to you. I appreciate how your relationships with them are different, but still obviously good friends. Pewe also rules, and I'd enjoy more content with him! I'm so happy that Steve Brule can enjoy his retirement. Another awesome dude!
You constantly make me feel more normal David. I’ve got like 12 cars in various stages of being projects mostly trucks and I’m constantly being told. I should downsize, but obviously that’s not the case. They’re all precious to me in their own way and for their own reasons and each one of them is cool in their own way, even if I didn’t own it. thanks for making us car guys feel a little bit more normal about our sickness. Great job on the channel so far - I’m hooked already. Coop
The other Camaro should be as low buck as you can do it safely. That means parts on hand first. Use it to clean up the yard. Once together, use it to do cheap upgrades like a budget builder would do in increments. But also keep a tally on the cost for each stage and show you can build a car that is bad ass on a budget.
13:15 PLEASE do this. As someone who currently travels 10,000+ miles every summer living out of my 04 Honda CRV I’d love to see a car camper built out of something properly cool. I’ve been looking at Ford Galaxy wagons/country squires myself but any old Muscle Wagon would be cooler than an 04’ CRV lol.
So great you are back on youtube. I had the MT subscription but it went away in europe. I would like to see more of the F-bomb, General Mayhem. Also that big orange Ford truck looked super cool!
I have a much greater respect for someone who isn’t a “brand buyer” I love flipping cars and finding new things to play with. My biggest regret is getting rid of my big bird yellow 1966 Dodge Charger 4spd manual back in 2009, loved the attention I got driving it.
For consideration. You have a notable number of awesome vehicles, and one of the great thing to experience is sharing the driving with your friends. Your various videos do that, but have you considered getting a few of the cars, and a few friends, and driving them somewhere as a road trip? Continually switching driving/passenger roles and cars, hearing your friends perspectives, and experiences? We all have perspectives, and when you have established your own flavour for each, it can be interesting to see if those who know you best share it, or see things differently. Cheers, Drewfus 👌
more F-bomb content please, Nelson TT power c'mon man Id love to see more. Keep the FRod on the track its perfect like it is. Id like to see the pro street nova on a drag and drive for sure! Keep the OGMT N/A forever! I love boost but that truck makes me want to go back to NA! Honestly you have had the formula down for years just keep it up, you were my hero and inspiration back in 88 when I was in high school reading your editorial in Car Craft, your attitude was different than the other editors of the countless mags we had to read back then. The crusher Impala is so fun I bet! the body roll and mile long burnouts are the best.
I remember seeing the Ram in the background of pictures in Hot Rod as I grew up. Always thought it was so cool, since my dad has a second gen as well. I also remember a "cheap headlight restoration" article done on your Ram's headlights: pertinent, as my Magnum had cloudy lights when I was 17. In a way, I DONT want to see videos dedicated to the truck. The personal satisfaction I get from seeing it still pop up in the background is what I've always loved the most. It's like the endlessly reliable worker behind the scenes
Some random notes. Super Bee: drive it occasionally and keep it forever. Same with the Hemi Gremmie and Crusher Impala. Keep racing the F-Rod forever. And finally, I know I've said this before in Roadkill comments but I desperately want to own every Ford station wagon that has passed through your oil-soaked and slippery hands. My first car was a '73 Ford wagon; I also used to have a great Mercury Grand Marquis station wagon with a built 460 that I never should have let slip through my oil-soaked and slippery hands. I live close to Diversified Creations and my dream is to find an old Ford wagon, update the entire powertrain, running gear and suspension and have them turn it into a Pro Touring/tow vehicle/highway cruising luxury monster. Glad you have this channel now; I'll be back, often. P.S. Great to see you at Roadkill Nights this year!
Hell yeah after a 2 year vacation from UA-cam. 3 videos at once out of nowhere. Love it and hope you stick with it. I am happy to watch anything you upload. Real Car guys are happy with anything automotive. You have always had interesting taste in cars and the variety you bring is awesome.
I would like to see the green Camaro pushed to the limits with a hot six. Keep the in-line and show us just what these engines can do- cams turbos, wherever.
Agreed. I want to build a turbo 6 with a 6 speed SO bad. That car could be most of a season. TA on stay tuned just did a dodge truck up like that and it's pretty awesome.
I think anything you put out will do well. Really enjoy the way you explain your way through things in a relatable and genuine way. Would like to see more of your off road stuff, maybe get Pewe’ to do an OG DED type trip
@@TheDavidFreiburgerdefinitely do stuff with Pewe’ I really enjoyed both of y’all’s jeep articles though I’ve never owned one. Think I still have the magazine where his infamous hammered flat fender is on its side getting the frame welded back together.
Man, you are my hero. 90% of my inspiration to learn how to fix my cars is because of you and mike and the early days of roadkill on youtube. My best friend and i would take road trips and hit dirt roads and lakes and just park and watch the new episodes together. He passed 5 years ago, but waiting on your new episodes of RK & RKG has almost become tradition to keep alive. I miss the junkyard rescues, but understand they're not as feasible with new production schedules. I would 100% be interested in you fixing up your v10 dodge. Has the dash turned brittle and shattered yet? 😅
@@TheDavidFreiburger Fix up the RAM. I have 2014 2500 4x4 that I use for everything from plowing snow to whatever. I have a black canvas top on mine that folds down when needed. I love this thing and will keep in running for ever. My wife just gives me that look and grumbles when she has to climb up into it.
I would love to see your V10 Dodge truck. To me it would be fun to see it fixed up. Not restored, no crazy money. It would be great to see it serviced, maintained, and to use it for what it is....a basic work truck.
I'm a 68 Camaro kinda guy, had one with an 6 cly , always with I would have done something with the 6 cly ,maybe there's an idea, love that I found you back here on u tube 😂
all of your cars are amazing, and the history of them and you and all the people you work with. Amazing stories. But your knowledge and love of cars not only shows but comes to fruition. Always a pleasure to watch you and your friends with cars.
Do anything illegal to show teenagers how they can do illegal fun stuff! LOL! As for me, show me how to fix my air conditioning on my 90" Bronco that is rotting in my front yard! :( LOL!
Watching you talk about your cars is sort of like watching a grandparent talk about their grand kids. I love your enthusiasm and legitimate love for each and e very vehicle!
Pleased that he F bomb might make a comeback, love that thing would love to see it reach it's potential. I'd also like to see the F-250 and straight six Camaro rescue/revival videos. So glad there's new content from you since Motortrend removed UK access to RK/RKG and the rest, so massive thanks for making these!
I vote for the "other Camero" bolted together with all the rusty panels, satin clear it all, put in the Covid small block, some neat period correct rims and street tires, complete interior/windows, some kind of overdrive transmission, 2.90 rear end gears, and drive it from California to Detroit stopping at every tiny town along the way. It could be a series that lasts 8-10 episodes, do it with your fantastic voice over and commentary about the towns, their highlights/history, and personal nostalgic stories.
Dan Steakley badge on the Chevelle wagon!! He sponsored my little league team when I was a kid, and we rode in the parade in a new 1976 chevy truck right off the lot.
Great to see you back on youtube. Over here in Scotland 🏴 we don't get your other content as much as before. I'd love to see more on the chevelle wagon, the "any" gremmy and the v10 ram but any of your fleet will be fine viewing, just keep doing what you do 👌👍
it would be great if you could do a show on how you got started with loving cars...playing hotwheels as a kid? sitting in class drawing pictures of cars? doing an internship at a magazine or something to get started? anyway keep up the good work. i dont get a chance to drive a lot of places in my condition, so watching you driving around the country is cool. ROADKILL is almost like three tv shows in one. its a car show, a travel show, and a how to fixer up show. that trip you and Dulich made in the pontiac through the northeast and New york city was the best! taking that V6 camaro on laguna seca was awesome as well!....oh well, have a great day!
I would love to see more content with the OG Muscle Truck. I have a 78 Sierra Grande C15 that my grandfather gave me when I was 16. He watched me get it running out of the field that it was parked in for 13 years after the transmission went out in it. I put a th400 in it that I bought for $400 from craigslist and when he watched me drive away for the first time he was blown away. I called him not even 2 minutes later because I made it all of 2 blocks before the original 350 puked out the front and rear seals simultaneously and died. We had a good laugh and since then I've built 3 different motors for it, each better than the last. Now he's gone and I'm putting an LS in it for reliability and painting it his favorite color, Lavender. Every time I see the muscle truck, I think of the memories with my squarebody and my grandpa. Roadkill gave me the motivation as a 16 year old to get it running as you've famously said multiple times, "Don't get it right, just get it running." You influenced a lot of us and gave us the motivation to do what might have otherwise seemed impossible. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to us over the years. And if you are ever going through L&L classics in Idaho again looking for your next project, let me know. I'll gladly buy you and Mike a couple beers.
Hi David, I really enjoyed this video. You are about 10 years older than me , but I feel like we came of age together! I became a Hot Rod Magazine subscriber in 1989 as a kid. I remember The Fastest Street car days, to this day every time I see a 1965 Impala I think of Nick Scavo’s black (low 8’s?) street racer with the trick ratcheting column shifter. The Crusher Camaro being rescued from the crusher right out of (Exxon? Texaco?) car crusher line. Caddy-Hack. Danny Scott’s 66 chevelle. The C.A.R.S. Camaro’s. Tony Christian’s 57 Chevy. Cheap Thrills dart. Your green Jeep built in 4 wheel and off road. I have always rolled with the old hot rod theme of “Dare to be different “, so I rock an AMC Wagon! So many great memories of pure joy when that new magazine showed up and I absorbed it like a sponge. Did you know CarToons magazines are back BTW?! I love the orange F-250, the 1994 Dodge With the V10, I’m sad you sold the Torino wagon it’s just like my AMC… I dig the chevelle wagon, and would like to see more. The white nova deserves like 3.23 gears, and LET IT EAT! Would love to see Fbomb live again. Was such a radical car for its day, I watched your land speed exploits with the wonderful Turks. I remember when you restored the super Bee. I dig the beater hemi Belvedere idea. I hate having stuff too nice it can’t be leaned on. The dusters are sweet, especially the white one. The brown 71-2 should be driven! The pistol grip beckons! The model a coupe drag car has been my dream since I was 9 years old, largely due to the late great Wally parks, and our old gray dad, Gray Baskerville! And you can never hoard too many Jeep or AMC products!!! My buddy Stacy painted the newer Charger version to look like general mayhem when they were both at autorama in Detroit… Thanks for all the great memories David, keep up the good work! (Sorry for the Novel BTW)
I still have the wild (delusional…?) thought that I could somehow offer you enough money to part with the muscle truck 😂 been watching you guys since around 2014, and started at episode one, hooked. My 62yo uncle even enjoys you guys and I can’t get him to sit down for hardly anything. Glad to see you’re gonna be more present on UA-cam. Seems to be the “it” for this stuff
Watching episodes of roadkill and other stuff you do has inspired me to get another project car. I hadn’t had one since my 70 c10 was stolen and I had to sell my 80 z28 I had built a couple years before you did the F bomb. I just got a 70 mustang from a guy up in Nebraska a few weeks ago. I was going to do a roadkill inspired trip with it but it needed too much to make it roadworthy so I trailed it. I’m in the process of getting it on the road now
@28:00 dodge v10 get spare manifold,(its 2 piece fyi), unbolt top half of it and get spare top half cut off and fit blower on it and remove 55mm throttle body and put on 67mm throttle body for the low end grunt it needs for towing heavy loads. 67mm supposed to be a direct fit replacement.
First off, like many on here, I want to thank you for starting up your channel for us to watch. My son and I have been watching your content since he was little (now 20 and in the Air Force) and have spent many a night talking about the latest thing we saw you and your cohorts do. So much, that recently, when he was being stationed in New Mexico, we road tripped from Oregon through the central valley and actually found the famous Dulcich farm.. just mild stalking, I promise, just trying to get a glimpse of you guys again as we were lucky enough to see you once in Oregon on one of your previous road trips in the off road Challenger. Anyway, I am in agreement that anything you do that is a low buck, driveway type of build we would love but my favorite is the OG Muscle Truck or Crusher Impala and totally dig when you can make something be reliable and look like it wouldn't be and make obscene power. Hope all is well and keep up the great work.
David Freiburger. Nice to meet you, my name is Turbo. I've been with you from whenever you started at P4W&OR to Hotrod, Roadkill, and now here. Maybe even Car Craft? Foggy memories. I sent a letter to the editor at 4wheel&..., suggesting a readers rides section that was all "ugly truck of the month" and it happened! Don't know if you had a hand in that or not but thanks anyhow for all those great old magazine stories. Plus... for the green 68 Camaro, a Bill "grumpy" Jenkins inspired super stock car with a four speed. I can see you rowing though the gears trying to beat the Sox & Martin Duster which is what the red Duster should be. Man i love bench racing other peoples cars! Lol Take care man, hope to meet you one day.
Living vicariously through Roadkill is what keeps me going. I almost picked up a 55 Willys delivery Jeep a few months ago for $800 Cdn, couldn't get there fast enough and it was gone. It was worthy of a Roadkill sticker if it could have been made to run. I was going to drop in my 283ci Chevy block that I've been hanging onto...
I’d love to see an inspirational episode,giving back to underprivileged teens with special needs or something of the sort like make a wish possibly? I’ve watched you for years brother man and you helped me through some really rough times in life with roadkill. Please never retire! Love from Racine Wisconsin 1:19
Man, I'm glad you started this channel! I read your articles in hot rod and watched the roadkill UA-cam videos. I bought several subscriptions of motor trend for myself and my brothers because of you. Being in the northwest I've missed you by hours twice, including when you were at dirtfish! One day I'll make it to an event. Maybe I can convince Chappelle to tag along on one of his adventures. Thanks for years of entertainment and inspiration!!!
The general is my fave ,so glad you had Chris work his magic. I've been watching you guys for years ,but the knowledge astounds me. I wish you all the best and thanks for all the entertainment. Danny UK 🇬🇧
I would love to see a 455 Pontiac, Oldsmobile, or Buick in the "Other" Camaro. Obviously, Hi-Po! I'm 73 and in my youth, I loved that GM was the only one of the Big 3 who's separate car divisions engineered their own engines. I always enjoyed the inter rivalry at the drag strip. Generally, Chevy came out on top, but every now and then, one of the other 3 would have a little surprise for the "Rat" motor crowd! Love the "Blashemi", love all the shows.
Love everything you do and put out there for us to watch. Haven't missed an episode yet and love that you do low buck, easy stuff that the normal guy can do in a garage for the most part. As an owner of an Oldsmobile, my first car I bought in 1982, I still wait for the day you start an episode by saying, your going to hop up a 1968-1972 455 442/cutlass. I know it is a 100,000,00-1 long shot but a guy can dream. :) Anyways, keep up the great work. Your an inspiration to all gear heads.
hey Dave to answer your question- we want to see videos of everything whatever you're in the mood for- you are a living legend and it's like listening to an uncle talk while I eat my dinner watching your shows. God bless you and your flip-flops. You're the real American deal 🤝⚡️🇺🇸❤️
The Ram v10 should totally be an episode. That truck represents the type of stuff us poor folks build and play with.
U don’t build a v10 u use it as a work truck and leave it alone
Agree should definitely be an episode.
I would like to get one someday, put flat top pistons in and zero deck it probably make a dual carb tunnel ram and make a better crank sensor off the dampener or flywheel and find a way to control the ignition with that, with headers and a 6 speed from a Cummins, not sure if that would all work but i think it would cool. probably put the motor in a vehicle better looking that a 2nd gen.
Love to see a video of just bringing it back including the AC.
Except poor folk dont play with any chrysler V10 products because the parts are stupid expensive and hard to get
One of my favorite quotes from roadkill from Finnegean about freiburger, “He loves jeeps, He never drives jeeps. He just has a lot of them” hahaha
Not wrong
@@TheDavidFreiburger how many vehicles are running Like if you cut off a arm and needed to get to the hospital but the car needs a battery that u can do before bleeding out but like put a intake on a sbc probably not gonna happen before bleeding out
Good question. Lol@@maxshaw9128
I would agree, Muscle truck is the greatest of all time 🙌🏼👊🏼👍🏻🔧🔧🔧 just maybe I’m biased since my first truck was a 79 squarebody 👍🏻👊🏼🙌🏼😂😂😂
Trade me the wagon for my 95 vandura
F-Bomb is my all-time favorite. I just love everything about that car!
Yes, would watch any F Bomb episode.
My grandpa was a big fan Mr. Freiburger. We would sit on the couch, eat some tacos, drink some budweisers and just watch Roadkill, hotrod power tour, hotrod garage, roadkill garage, engine masters. If you were in it, we were watching.
He's no longer with us but the memories live on. You don't just make great content. You make an impact on people's lives. For that, I want to say thank you!
That’s an amazing statement. Cheers to your grandad.
❤
Grandpa is doing mega burnouts in heaven brother
The Ram for sure. Side note: Please don't let Engine Masters die. Steve was great, but the show deserves to live on.
Yes we definitely need more Engine Masters in our lives
@steve holdner should step in
I've learned more from engine masters than any other source. Thanks for all of the great content!!
I've been watching you, finnegan, and dulcich forever! I hope you realize the impact you've had on not just my life but everyones life that watches you! Youll be a part of hotrodding history forever. Just wanted to say thank you for all the good times
That’s big. Also very generous. Thanks!
Your story telling and gift with language is really what makes you one of a kind Freiburger. Lots of people on YT are turning wrenches but none of them would entertain me for 50 minutes sitting on a stool just riffing. Even without the racing, you and Brian doing commentary keeps me glued during Drag Week. Some of your Roadkill sign-offs have been down right tear jerkers. The way you can personify each car with a unique and humerous names make them co stars.
That’s super nice of you to say, thank you
Very true. Crazy.. back in the day, we never heard his voice. it was always in print, Now i do truly enjoy listening to him talk
@@jeffhughes5363 In a sense, Freiburger taught me to read english. When i was a teenager i bought used car craft and hot rod mags by the box.
Your episode driving the station wagon and checking out old buildings, signs, and small town exploring combined with the classic roadkill shenanigans was a masterpiece!! Worthy of a Grammy award!
A Grammy?
@@TheDavidFreiburgerIsn’t that the one they give to people who change the world in a meaningful way?
An Emmy would probably be more suited… 😂 But yes, definitely an award winning video. 😊
@@TheDavidFreiburger maybe a Gremmie award?
@@6t9chargerse the Emmy Gremmie? 😆
After seeing your 68 Camaro with the straight 6, I was compelled to share a story. I was serving in the US ARMY back in the late 80's when I had an accident and totaled my 1985 Mazda GLC while home on leave. After I settled with my insurance I made my way back to Fort Hood, TX. I went to the local Chevrolet dealership in Killeen, TX and ordered a new 1988 Chevrolet S10. I hadn't been gone from the dealership more than 5 minutes when I saw a 1968 Butternut yellow Camaro on a used car lot. I had to have that car so I test drove it and struck the deal. I canceled my order at the dealership and drove my new to me 68 Camaro back to the barracks grinning from ear to ear. When I got out of the Army in Jan of 89 I loaded every belonging I had into that Camaro and drove it all the way back home to East Tennessee. A year or so later I ended up selling the car for stupid reasons and have regretted that decision to this day. Years later I tried to track the car down but had no luck. The reason for this story is if you decide to flip the 68 you have I may be interested if it's within my budget. I've always wanted another 68 Camaro.
I love how Freiburger isn’t just a Chevy, ford, or mopar guy. He just has every random thing.
He’s just a true gearhead. He loves oil and gas.
I'm convinced that true gearheads just like cars. I think that if we're to be honest with ourselves, all the manufacturers had their gems- and their garbage. So, there isn't one "best brand", there's just the best cars.
A real car guy. I always hated the fanboy nonsense it just limits you to one option. Horsepower in any form is fun.
Agreed. All Big Three deserve recognition. Oh yeah, don't forget AMCs..lol.
its not that random
Very happy to see you're uploading solo content again!
EDIT: Yes, I'd love to see episodes on the Ram truck and I'm sure a bunch of other people would too.
Thanks
Agreed. I love my 96 ram 1500 would love seeing episodes on the ram
Yes do a video on your ram! Actually I’m excited to get any video on any of your cars! I’m really glad you’re posting videos and I’m excited to see what you do.
YES! I would also love to see the V10 Ram get fixed up.
I have wanted episodes on that RAM for YEARS.
Rehab, build, off road trips, shootout with the tater truck, whatever!
I must say Dave, the crusher Camaro has been one of my all time favorites, and the fact that it will continue to change only makes it better over time. In my opinion, that’s what makes it the iconic car that it is
Watch for an upcoming video with the 30-year history of the car
Freiburger best advice I can give, is do what you want to do with youtube. There are a million car things on youtube, so do what you are passionate about and what you care to do.
Personally and my opinion: You are a wealth of knowledge of cars, and cars history. I'd love to see something like that, history of historical drag strips, cars, famous drag racers, ala Hot Rod magazine article in vlog form of some sort. Along with you tinkering on cars, testing parts, taking old junk and making it better.
The short of the long of it is, we are fans of you, do you, and we'll watch.
Thanks! I do love the history. YT really seems to want channels to post the same type of content, but I’ll have variety anyway
Brian Lohnes has an amazing channel where he dives into Drag racing, engine, and vehicle history. Maybe you and he could team up for some mutual content, I know you know him thru drag week etc :)
The best part of UA-cam.. a little more blue humor than what you're allowed on TV can be fun. Just PLEASE don't make the whole channel all sugary syrupy sweety diabetic shock over-the-top clean like RK 😆
I'd like to see some of your adventures on here, the ones where you get all those amazing Americana pics from. Also, as for your V10 Dodge truck, have you ever looked on eBay and seen how cheap the Viper intakes and heads prices are? Cheers!
@@TheDavidFreiburger I follow the "how to be a UA-cam star" people on UA-cam. I follow them because it is amusing how they all change like the wind.
Anyone who follows their passion seems to keep the diehard fans; then UA-cam follows them.
I think this will end up being better than the motortrend stuff. Much more personable, reminds me of the older days of roadkill. Been watching you since early 2012, you always do great things!
That’s nice of you, thanks!
@TheDavidFreiburger being able to have a comment section and being able to have that community conversation is what I missed on the motortrend app. Watching motortrend is a lonely experience compared to being able to talk amongst like-minded individuals and maybe the chance to talk to you too! I greatly appreciate the reply!
Is this the future? Bring in Mike and Steve!!!!
The crusher impala is what i would love to see more of. Something about huge old iron sliding around like a modern muscle car gets me going.
That car is so great
This made me miss the heyday of Roadkill and Dirt Everyday. We didn’t know how good it was until it was gone. Great to see some old favourites get a mention once again.
i think we all can agree that we miss the old school roadkill style videos. no fancy video, no big expensive build, just a guy wrenching on his project in the driveway keeping it on the road. and hell yes to videos on the 2500 V10 dodge
You're livin the life Dave
Thanks for makin' a channel for us tightwads man. Ha!!
You have no idea how hard I have looked for content on the F bomb!
Thanks! It will be even longer…but eventually
The F bomb is truely the car I care most about.
It’s always interested me. I’d love to see it get some tv time.
Best thing is, is how down to earth you are with your followers. Thank you. Great watching all that you and your friends do.
I love all the Roadkill cars but the Crusher Impala is my definite favorite! It was great seeing the reactions from the Mighty Car Mods guys when they first saw it. And every time they drove it they were laughing and having a great time!
Yes, do episodes with the Ram. Love the 2nd gens, and the V10/manual combinations are very rare.
Yeah have always liked that thing
Just picked one up.. 5k
As a long time UK based (and now former) Motortrend subscriber and follower of Roadkill since episode 1, who got booted due to geo-restrictions and how they changed how they did business, can I just say THANKS for dusting off the UA-cam channel to produce content again. I've been displaced now for about 12-18 months so I'm just really glad to be able to watch content you've produced again.. just endlessly watchable, interesting, fun content and I'm extremely grateful for it.
I’m grateful you’re back, thank you
@TheDavidFreiburger I'm another UK guy who was watching Roadkill from day one. My favourite episode was The Lowrider in the Desert. Has me crying with laughter every time
And another, it genuinely hasn't been the same without RK. So pleased you're doing this now!
@@TheDavidFreiburger I second this, I was gutted when dirt every day ended and I couldn't watch roadkill or roadkill garage anymore as these were the only reason I signed up to motor trend. Such a let down that they booted us off in the UK. Just glad to be able to watch you again as I have always been a massive fan of your content. All these over produced shows full of drama just don't cut it against the low buck, highly informative and entertaining videos you put out. I have learnt so much from watching and will be forever grateful for what has been and hopefully what more there is to come.
@@philgrimsey3637 hahah that was hilarious
Loving the content. My kids are starting to watch Roadkill, Roadkill Garage and now your channel with me. They love watching the adventures and the cars. The oldest just bought his first car at 13 and we are dailying it for him and upgrading. Thanks for inspiring the next generation of gearheads.
Super cool!
Side Note: I really liked the Torino Wagon road trip video. I didn't think I was gonna sit there for an hour and ten, but I did. Oddly, the nostalgia held me.
That’s great, thank you
David, I think most of us would watch you do literally anything to any vehicle, including the Ram (which is a killer truck btw). You are an absolute legend in the car world and have inspired gobs of people to get out and work on their projects, including me. Looking forward to seeing what you put together on this channel.
You’re too nice, thanks
I agree, I’ve followed David for many years.
I like your idea about assembling the "other camaro". I would enjoy seeing you do the lowest buck possible assemble. You should use the covid 350 for an engine, and just about anything that you can beg , borrow, or steal. Most of us don't have a lot of money to play with cars. It would be a salute to the early Roadkill days and not getting it right, just get it running. I love everything you do, so you cannot disappoint me. Thanks for all you and Finnegan and Dulcich do.
I’m a big fan David! On HRPT 2016 you and Mike were repositioning Stubby Bob and my grandson fell in love with it right then and there. You took a minute to talk with him and set the hook! 2 weeks ago my now 15 1/2 yo grandson drove for the first time in my 5 spd FE powered Mustang! Looking forward to continuing this adventure that started with the Junkyard shows!
That’s super cool, thanks for telling me!
@@TheDavidFreiburger I’m the guy you hear screaming in the background every time you put a flywheel on a Ford engine without a block plate! BTW there is a great little hot rod shop in Cañon City Co. you should check out.
I didn't think you would sell the "Disgustang"!!! Watching Roadkill and Roadkill Garage has totally changed how I own and build cars. Everything had to be show quality before, like my 69 GTO I've owned since high school (1983) but now I have a 70 Challenger R/T with a motor home 440, horrible paint, all original interior and I drive the crap out of it. There were many others in the last 10 years or so and there are cars in my shop getting the "Just get it running" treatment right now.
Yeah, I miss the Disgustang a lot. But I know what it's like to have to make such a hard decision, so I can't fault him for that.
Oh yeahhhh just realised he didn't include that
His hatred of ford is real, and sad…
With Motortrend falling off (mean no haste in that statement) I am so excited to see you and Fennigean uploading to youtube more. I miss the golden days of roadkill when it was uploaded regularly and not behind a pay wall. I have no problem supporting content creators or paying a monthly membership but it sucks to pay monthly membership to only watch it maybe once a month because I don't care for any of the other "scripted" style shows. Keep doing you the fans will follow and make sure you can keep producing what you love to do!
Would absolutely love to see a video of the ram V10 maintenance work. Air conditioning is a must.
Unicorns are always appreciated!!
David for me, watching you all these years I have learned that your knowledge of cars and engines and automotive in general You are a treasure .....the content you have brought to the internet is amazing and you are in a category of your own. Wishing you the best and keep sharing your knowledge....thank you
Ditto, it always amazes me when he pulls something out of his beautiful brain, I'm thinking how the hell does he know that 🤣 he must have a photographic memory.
Dave will probably never admit it but he’s one of the most influential and most known hot rodders in all of hot rod history
What I like is you make having a project car accessible to all of us. I started road trips with my son and he grew up watching you. Our road trips are some of his favorite memories. We have a 74 Dodge Charger SE and a 65 Valiant with a Slant 6 as project cars. We barely have a place to work on them but you make this approachable and thats our inspiration. I hope we can get these drivable in the near future.
Thanks for saying so!
Thank you for caring about us Dave, and giving us top tier stuff to watch.
Man, I'm so happy that the YT algorithm decided to show me this video! As Teenager, I loved watching Roadkill with my dad, back when it was still on UA-cam. It ignited a spark of love for old American cars in me. Unfortunately for that spark, I live in Europe, so I'll just keep watching these videos, amazed at what you guys are able to drive legally, more or less, over there!
As much as I love the wrenching videos, my favorite to see from you and your MT crew are the road trip videos. Even on RKG when you guys fix something up and then road trip to a track are some of the coolest moments to me. There are a whole bunch of content creators sitting in the garage wrenching, but a serious void in the classic car road trip content, you guys are the best! We love what you do
I love the trips. Thank you!
Thank you. I have wondered for years which vehicles were personally owned by, vs. owned by MT. As to your questions about what to do...I would love to see a low budget build on your channel. Junk yard engine that you build from mainstream brands. No trick $10k heads. The work is done on jack stands or ramps. Typical DIY tools, no $2 million shop. Rather than a reality show format, how about more of a how to format. You are a great historian and teacher. No loud annoying music like MT uses. I want to hear what you have to say, the engine, the burnout. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos for us. I still remember the interview with Joe Elmore from Horse Power TV where your name was mispronounced in the late 90s.
That was a long time ago! Thanks for the comments and input
David is a very old man. Isn't he in his 70s? I read that on the internet.
I love old cars, but I never had anyone in my life who shared the interest and could pass down all the history and stories. I love watching you because I feel like I learn a lot about the history and culture behind these cars. You’re like an encyclopedia of vintage steel
All you have to do is build/fix, race, and repeat. And we will watch.
Hope so, thank you!
I could spend a whole day just looking at all the goodies in your garage
They’re always a discovery for me, too
I’m not much of a salt flats guy, but I’ve kinda been waiting for another one of those episodes. Was hoping you guys would take pig pen and make that truck a salt flats truck with the OG motor on boost or something, that would of been awesome. But I get it, it takes way too much time to build a salt flats truck and really what’s the point of going on the salt if your not there to break some records. 🤷♂️
Either way much love to you guys, I subscribed to your channel which oddly enough I didn’t know you had a channel until Tony Angelo mentioned you in one of his videos but I’m I’m lovin the history on these cars and all your historical stories. Thank you David!
Awesome! So pumped for new Freiburger videos! America needed this!
Thank you
So happy that you are making content for your channel! I've seen all of the Roadkill and Roadkill Garage episodes at least 5 times, so I'm really looking forward to your solo content. I hope Roadkill and Roadkill Garage have longer lifespans, because I'm also big Finnegan and Dulcich fans, thanks to you. I appreciate how your relationships with them are different, but still obviously good friends. Pewe also rules, and I'd enjoy more content with him! I'm so happy that Steve Brule can enjoy his retirement. Another awesome dude!
Dave so happy to see you back on you tube . Your going to kill it ...😊
You constantly make me feel more normal David. I’ve got like 12 cars in various stages of being projects mostly trucks and I’m constantly being told. I should downsize, but obviously that’s not the case. They’re all precious to me in their own way and for their own reasons and each one of them is cool in their own way, even if I didn’t own it. thanks for making us car guys feel a little bit more normal about our sickness. Great job on the channel so far - I’m hooked already. Coop
I've been subscribed to this channel for 13 years, so I'd say just keep doing what you were doing. 🔥🤘🔥
The other Camaro should be as low buck as you can do it safely. That means parts on hand first. Use it to clean up the yard. Once together, use it to do cheap upgrades like a budget builder would do in increments. But also keep a tally on the cost for each stage and show you can build a car that is bad ass on a budget.
I remember reading the original article about the Muscle Truck build in either Hot Rod or Car Craft when I was like 14 and loved it ever since
Yeah, it was in Hot Rod. Thanks for sticking with me
13:15 PLEASE do this.
As someone who currently travels 10,000+ miles every summer living out of my 04 Honda CRV I’d love to see a car camper built out of something properly cool.
I’ve been looking at Ford Galaxy wagons/country squires myself but any old Muscle Wagon would be cooler than an 04’ CRV lol.
One vote for it. Thanks!
So great you are back on youtube. I had the MT subscription but it went away in europe. I would like to see more of the F-bomb, General Mayhem. Also that big orange Ford truck looked super cool!
I have a much greater respect for someone who isn’t a “brand buyer” I love flipping cars and finding new things to play with. My biggest regret is getting rid of my big bird yellow 1966 Dodge Charger 4spd manual back in 2009, loved the attention I got driving it.
For consideration.
You have a notable number of awesome vehicles, and one of the great thing to experience is sharing the driving with your friends. Your various videos do that, but have you considered getting a few of the cars, and a few friends, and driving them somewhere as a road trip?
Continually switching driving/passenger roles and cars, hearing your friends perspectives, and experiences?
We all have perspectives, and when you have established your own flavour for each, it can be interesting to see if those who know you best share it, or see things differently.
Cheers, Drewfus 👌
This makes me feel better about all of the cars I have sitting around! Great stuff! Keep it up!
Mix tech with car culture history. The history gives inspiration for new builds! I’m watching your pro street build, learning all I can!
more F-bomb content please, Nelson TT power c'mon man Id love to see more. Keep the FRod on the track its perfect like it is. Id like to see the pro street nova on a drag and drive for sure! Keep the OGMT N/A forever! I love boost but that truck makes me want to go back to NA! Honestly you have had the formula down for years just keep it up, you were my hero and inspiration back in 88 when I was in high school reading your editorial in Car Craft, your attitude was different than the other editors of the countless mags we had to read back then. The crusher Impala is so fun I bet! the body roll and mile long burnouts are the best.
I personally have a 1931 ford. And I have dreams and hopes it's half as cool as F bomb. I agree more of it
Take the nova on Sick Week.
I remember seeing the Ram in the background of pictures in Hot Rod as I grew up. Always thought it was so cool, since my dad has a second gen as well. I also remember a "cheap headlight restoration" article done on your Ram's headlights: pertinent, as my Magnum had cloudy lights when I was 17. In a way, I DONT want to see videos dedicated to the truck. The personal satisfaction I get from seeing it still pop up in the background is what I've always loved the most. It's like the endlessly reliable worker behind the scenes
Some random notes. Super Bee: drive it occasionally and keep it forever. Same with the Hemi Gremmie and Crusher Impala. Keep racing the F-Rod forever. And finally, I know I've said this before in Roadkill comments but I desperately want to own every Ford station wagon that has passed through your oil-soaked and slippery hands. My first car was a '73 Ford wagon; I also used to have a great Mercury Grand Marquis station wagon with a built 460 that I never should have let slip through my oil-soaked and slippery hands. I live close to Diversified Creations and my dream is to find an old Ford wagon, update the entire powertrain, running gear and suspension and have them turn it into a Pro Touring/tow vehicle/highway cruising luxury monster. Glad you have this channel now; I'll be back, often. P.S. Great to see you at Roadkill Nights this year!
Hell yeah after a 2 year vacation from UA-cam. 3 videos at once out of nowhere. Love it and hope you stick with it. I am happy to watch anything you upload. Real Car guys are happy with anything automotive. You have always had interesting taste in cars and the variety you bring is awesome.
We need more engine masters. Greater variety of engines, all sorts of options.
I would like to see the green Camaro pushed to the limits with a hot six. Keep the in-line and show us just what these engines can do- cams turbos, wherever.
Agreed. I want to build a turbo 6 with a 6 speed SO bad. That car could be most of a season.
TA on stay tuned just did a dodge truck up like that and it's pretty awesome.
Same, especially since on roadkill he mentioned that the sixes can actually get nutty when built.
I think anything you put out will do well. Really enjoy the way you explain your way through things in a relatable and genuine way. Would like to see more of your off road stuff, maybe get Pewe’ to do an OG DED type trip
It’s coming!
@@TheDavidFreiburgerdefinitely do stuff with Pewe’ I really enjoyed both of y’all’s jeep articles though I’ve never owned one. Think I still have the magazine where his infamous hammered flat fender is on its side getting the frame welded back together.
Man, you are my hero. 90% of my inspiration to learn how to fix my cars is because of you and mike and the early days of roadkill on youtube. My best friend and i would take road trips and hit dirt roads and lakes and just park and watch the new episodes together. He passed 5 years ago, but waiting on your new episodes of RK & RKG has almost become tradition to keep alive. I miss the junkyard rescues, but understand they're not as feasible with new production schedules. I would 100% be interested in you fixing up your v10 dodge. Has the dash turned brittle and shattered yet? 😅
Oh yeah, the dash is junk. Thanks for telling me your story
David, if you clean up that Ram, I’d definitely watch. I love that canvas top too! Great looking truck
I wish the top had not disintegrated
@@TheDavidFreiburger Fix up the RAM. I have 2014 2500 4x4 that I use for everything from plowing snow to whatever. I have a black canvas top on mine that folds down when needed. I love this thing and will keep in running for ever. My wife just gives me that look and grumbles when she has to climb up into it.
i love the road trips, allows me to see more of your country.
Thanks for being interested in our country
Quite a collection David !!!
Love the F-Bomb! And The Crusher Camaro, And the Crusher Impala!
Man, I like all of them😊
For me.... honestly the f-bomb is THE car that i would really really really love to see more. Maaaan i love this car
I get that, thank you!
@@TheDavidFreiburger it's probably just because it is historical and i haven't seen it much on all your "motortrend" shows
yess me to. have seen that thing here and there for 12 years and have always hoped to see it at a drag strip for a day
It's just so cool!
I would love to see your V10 Dodge truck. To me it would be fun to see it fixed up. Not restored, no crazy money. It would be great to see it serviced, maintained, and to use it for what it is....a basic work truck.
Got it, thanks
I'm a 68 Camaro kinda guy, had one with an 6 cly , always with I would have done something with the 6 cly ,maybe there's an idea, love that I found you back here on u tube 😂
Love the second gen ram I’d like to see more of it
Do your thing man. I will watch.
Well said! I agree. I'm sure it doesn't help him decide what to do, though, lol.
all of your cars are amazing, and the history of them and you and all the people you work with. Amazing stories. But your knowledge and love of cars not only shows but comes to fruition. Always a pleasure to watch you and your friends with cars.
As for you questioning what people want to see? They want to see it all! If you are worried about likes and ratings and sponsors, do burn outs! LOL!
Do anything illegal to show teenagers how they can do illegal fun stuff! LOL! As for me, show me how to fix my air conditioning on my 90" Bronco that is rotting in my front yard! :( LOL!
Atlas 4.2 in the 6 cyl camaro!
Hmm. I know where one is.
@@TheDavidFreiburger nivlac57 has done a lot with that engine
What happened to the mach 1 mustang
It was sold
Watching you talk about your cars is sort of like watching a grandparent talk about their grand kids. I love your enthusiasm and legitimate love for each and e very vehicle!
Thanks, I think
Pleased that he F bomb might make a comeback, love that thing would love to see it reach it's potential. I'd also like to see the F-250 and straight six Camaro rescue/revival videos. So glad there's new content from you since Motortrend removed UK access to RK/RKG and the rest, so massive thanks for making these!
I vote for the "other Camero" bolted together with all the rusty panels, satin clear it all, put in the Covid small block, some neat period correct rims and street tires, complete interior/windows, some kind of overdrive transmission, 2.90 rear end gears, and drive it from California to Detroit stopping at every tiny town along the way. It could be a series that lasts 8-10 episodes, do it with your fantastic voice over and commentary about the towns, their highlights/history, and personal nostalgic stories.
David Great to see you posting again, you are one of the best story tellers on you tube.
Thank you
Dan Steakley badge on the Chevelle wagon!! He sponsored my little league team when I was a kid, and we rode in the parade in a new 1976 chevy truck right off the lot.
Great to see you back on youtube. Over here in Scotland 🏴 we don't get your other content as much as before. I'd love to see more on the chevelle wagon, the "any" gremmy and the v10 ram but any of your fleet will be fine viewing, just keep doing what you do 👌👍
it would be great if you could do a show on how you got started with loving cars...playing hotwheels as a kid? sitting in class drawing pictures of cars? doing an internship at a magazine or something to get started? anyway keep up the good work. i dont get a chance to drive a lot of places in my condition, so watching you driving around the country is cool. ROADKILL is almost like three tv shows in one. its a car show, a travel show, and a how to fixer up show. that trip you and Dulich made in the pontiac through the northeast and New york city was the best! taking that V6 camaro on laguna seca was awesome as well!....oh well, have a great day!
Wow. Tough. But very important. I am sorry for what you had to see and go through. And I truly appreciate the perspective you bring. Thank you.
I would love to see more content with the OG Muscle Truck. I have a 78 Sierra Grande C15 that my grandfather gave me when I was 16. He watched me get it running out of the field that it was parked in for 13 years after the transmission went out in it. I put a th400 in it that I bought for $400 from craigslist and when he watched me drive away for the first time he was blown away. I called him not even 2 minutes later because I made it all of 2 blocks before the original 350 puked out the front and rear seals simultaneously and died. We had a good laugh and since then I've built 3 different motors for it, each better than the last. Now he's gone and I'm putting an LS in it for reliability and painting it his favorite color, Lavender. Every time I see the muscle truck, I think of the memories with my squarebody and my grandpa. Roadkill gave me the motivation as a 16 year old to get it running as you've famously said multiple times, "Don't get it right, just get it running." You influenced a lot of us and gave us the motivation to do what might have otherwise seemed impossible. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to us over the years. And if you are ever going through L&L classics in Idaho again looking for your next project, let me know. I'll gladly buy you and Mike a couple beers.
We were just there again a few weeks ago! Thank you for letting us motivate you!
Hi David, I really enjoyed this video. You are about 10 years older than me , but I feel like we came of age together! I became a Hot Rod Magazine subscriber in 1989 as a kid. I remember The Fastest Street car days, to this day every time I see a 1965 Impala I think of Nick Scavo’s black (low 8’s?) street racer with the trick ratcheting column shifter. The Crusher Camaro being rescued from the crusher right out of (Exxon? Texaco?) car crusher line. Caddy-Hack. Danny Scott’s 66 chevelle. The C.A.R.S. Camaro’s. Tony Christian’s 57 Chevy. Cheap Thrills dart. Your green Jeep built in 4 wheel and off road. I have always rolled with the old hot rod theme of “Dare to be different “, so I rock an AMC Wagon! So many great memories of pure joy when that new magazine showed up and I absorbed it like a sponge. Did you know CarToons magazines are back BTW?! I love the orange F-250, the 1994 Dodge With the V10, I’m sad you sold the Torino wagon it’s just like my AMC… I dig the chevelle wagon, and would like to see more. The white nova deserves like 3.23 gears, and LET IT EAT! Would love to see Fbomb live again. Was such a radical car for its day, I watched your land speed exploits with the wonderful Turks. I remember when you restored the super Bee. I dig the beater hemi Belvedere idea. I hate having stuff too nice it can’t be leaned on. The dusters are sweet, especially the white one. The brown 71-2 should be driven! The pistol grip beckons! The model a coupe drag car has been my dream since I was 9 years old, largely due to the late great Wally parks, and our old gray dad, Gray Baskerville! And you can never hoard too many Jeep or AMC products!!! My buddy Stacy painted the newer Charger version to look like general mayhem when they were both at autorama in Detroit… Thanks for all the great memories David, keep up the good work! (Sorry for the Novel BTW)
I still have the wild (delusional…?) thought that I could somehow offer you enough money to part with the muscle truck 😂 been watching you guys since around 2014, and started at episode one, hooked. My 62yo uncle even enjoys you guys and I can’t get him to sit down for hardly anything. Glad to see you’re gonna be more present on UA-cam. Seems to be the “it” for this stuff
Welcome back to UA-cam.
Enjoyed your work from way back in the Hot Rod mag days, Four wheel n off road. Enjoyed Rick Pewe too.
Watching episodes of roadkill and other stuff you do has inspired me to get another project car. I hadn’t had one since my 70 c10 was stolen and I had to sell my 80 z28 I had built a couple years before you did the F bomb. I just got a 70 mustang from a guy up in Nebraska a few weeks ago. I was going to do a roadkill inspired trip with it but it needed too much to make it roadworthy so I trailed it. I’m in the process of getting it on the road now
@28:00 dodge v10 get spare manifold,(its 2 piece fyi), unbolt top half of it and get spare top half cut off and fit blower on it and remove 55mm throttle body and put on 67mm throttle body for the low end grunt it needs for towing heavy loads. 67mm supposed to be a direct fit replacement.
First off, like many on here, I want to thank you for starting up your channel for us to watch. My son and I have been watching your content since he was little (now 20 and in the Air Force) and have spent many a night talking about the latest thing we saw you and your cohorts do. So much, that recently, when he was being stationed in New Mexico, we road tripped from Oregon through the central valley and actually found the famous Dulcich farm.. just mild stalking, I promise, just trying to get a glimpse of you guys again as we were lucky enough to see you once in Oregon on one of your previous road trips in the off road Challenger. Anyway, I am in agreement that anything you do that is a low buck, driveway type of build we would love but my favorite is the OG Muscle Truck or Crusher Impala and totally dig when you can make something be reliable and look like it wouldn't be and make obscene power. Hope all is well and keep up the great work.
Glad you and your son have been with us so long!
I always enjoy hearing about Dave's rides
David Freiburger. Nice to meet you, my name is Turbo. I've been with you from whenever you started at P4W&OR to Hotrod, Roadkill, and now here. Maybe even Car Craft? Foggy memories. I sent a letter to the editor at 4wheel&..., suggesting a readers rides section that was all "ugly truck of the month" and it happened! Don't know if you had a hand in that or not but thanks anyhow for all those great old magazine stories.
Plus... for the green 68 Camaro, a Bill "grumpy" Jenkins inspired super stock car with a four speed. I can see you rowing though the gears trying to beat the Sox & Martin Duster which is what the red Duster should be. Man i love bench racing other peoples cars! Lol
Take care man, hope to meet you one day.
Living vicariously through Roadkill is what keeps me going. I almost picked up a 55 Willys delivery Jeep a few months ago for $800 Cdn, couldn't get there fast enough and it was gone. It was worthy of a Roadkill sticker if it could have been made to run. I was going to drop in my 283ci Chevy block that I've been hanging onto...
I’d love to see an inspirational episode,giving back to underprivileged teens with special needs or something of the sort like make a wish possibly? I’ve watched you for years brother man and you helped me through some really rough times in life with roadkill. Please never retire! Love from Racine Wisconsin 1:19
It pays to have good friends, you are a really lucky guy.
Man, I'm glad you started this channel! I read your articles in hot rod and watched the roadkill UA-cam videos. I bought several subscriptions of motor trend for myself and my brothers because of you. Being in the northwest I've missed you by hours twice, including when you were at dirtfish! One day I'll make it to an event. Maybe I can convince Chappelle to tag along on one of his adventures. Thanks for years of entertainment and inspiration!!!
Thanks for reading and watching for years!
The general is my fave ,so glad you had Chris work his magic. I've been watching you guys for years ,but the knowledge astounds me. I wish you all the best and thanks for all the entertainment. Danny UK 🇬🇧
I would love to see a 455 Pontiac, Oldsmobile, or Buick in the "Other" Camaro. Obviously, Hi-Po! I'm 73 and in my youth, I loved that GM was the only one of the Big 3 who's separate car divisions engineered their own engines. I always enjoyed the inter rivalry at the drag strip. Generally, Chevy came out on top, but every now and then, one of the other 3 would have a little surprise for the "Rat" motor crowd! Love the "Blashemi", love all the shows.
Love everything you do and put out there for us to watch. Haven't missed an episode yet and love that you do low buck, easy stuff that the normal guy can do in a garage for the most part. As an owner of an Oldsmobile, my first car I bought in 1982, I still wait for the day you start an episode by saying, your going to hop up a 1968-1972 455 442/cutlass. I know it is a 100,000,00-1 long shot but a guy can dream. :) Anyways, keep up the great work. Your an inspiration to all gear heads.
Nice to say, thank you
I love this channel Dave! And this video in particular....great job! I can't wait to see where it goes
hey Dave to answer your question- we want to see videos of everything whatever you're in the mood for- you are a living legend and it's like listening to an uncle talk while I eat my dinner watching your shows. God bless you and your flip-flops. You're the real American deal 🤝⚡️🇺🇸❤️
Cool of you to say, thanks!
