I like the HD 6 Spring Disc! When I use a 4 spring Disc, I wear the 4 springs out & they rattler, lol I would've gone for a 2 or 3 mile drive to a local store, after the Clutch repacement, before running down the track , if I had time. This seeems to be one of your Better Roadkill weeks. Note, Sunscreen with Coconut oil, keeps Bugs Away.
Yep, the 7.5" 10-bolt DOES suck weenie..... I had a 1976 Chevy Nova that had a 250 straight 6 in it. I tore the 6 cylinder and the trans out, installed a fresh mildly warmed over 468 and a TH-400 trans. I got er running, went for a ride around the block, and didn't even make it home before the rear-end blew. 😒 The TH-400 banged gears pretty hard with the usual B&M shift kit in it. I heard and felt a GIANT bang when it slammed into second after going thru the 2nd stop sign. I pulled over, and when the car continued to roll when I put it in park, I INSTANTLY knew what had happened. I put it in gear and looked under it, and YUP, the driveshaft was spinning but the car wasn't moving. 😏 I ended up finding an 8.5" posi unit with 3.42 gears that bolted right in. I found the rear-end at my local junk yard. I'm not even sure what it came out of, it was just laying in a giant pile of third members, but it was the exact same width and it bolted directly into the Nova with no messing around. I'm guessing that it probably came out of an earlier F-Body car... 🤷🏻
Be cool if you could upload some of the latest episodes, RK Garage, too. So many of us were cut off from our Motortrend subscriptions and are just missing out.
I'd love to have time and resources to pull off adventure like that. Just an old beater off of a craigslist and take part in event for the sake of it. 0 chance of winning anything, 100% chance of mechanical failure, pure adventure into unknown
I stopped watching roadkill when they put it behind a paywall. I actually might've paid, but just a few months before Frieburger had specifically promised in an interview on YT that it would never go behind a paywall like other MotorTrend content. He was senior enough that he knew at that point that it would, and never addressed the lie. I always found him a bit annoying, very knowledgeable, but something always grated on me about him. The lie, and the unapologetic way he abandoned the fans who'd built the show that made him, makes it impossible for me to enjoy watching him now.
Bruh, the Roadkill show didn't "make him", as you say. He was already very well known and very experienced by the time they started making Roadkill episodes, and if it wasn't Roadkill, then I'm sure he would've gotten involved in something else regarding filming with cars. I'm with you on not liking the lack of apology regarding what he said about not pay walling Roadkill, specially so close to when it happened, but at the time I think financing all of the different shows was a bit hard, and they were probably worried that their kind of content wasn't going to pull in the right numbers that the YT algorithm wanted for far enough into the future for things to work out.
I can take you to a place near bmp that has hundreds of them they sit and sun on the bank of a river near the freedom factory wont say what river or where exactly because only a few people know of that honey hole
Hey Freiburger, how many times is it going to take for you to realize that riding a clutch on launch is not a good idea?? How about stop blaming the clutch and learn how to side step it instead of feathering... sure you may bog a bit, but at least your clutch will last more than 2 passes!!
Did you miss the -[20-minute long]- part where this vehicle was sitting outside for a couple decades or more? Also, the 70s was the Malaise era, when new emissions regulations were strangling the horsepower out of cars, and it took over a decade for everyone to figure out how to get back to _Real_ power numbers while still passing emissions regulations.
Roadkill got me through a tough period. I cold turkey quit heroin and fentanyl. I just binged on these guys. Thank you for uploading all these videos
Hot rod became so money hungry moving off yourube and refusing to broadcast outside of the US, very glad people are uploading things!
It's not Hot Rod, it's Warner Bros. WB, you know the network that owns Crap News Network aka CNN. Hot Rod doesn't own the company.
HBO max has every ROADKILL and ROAD KILL GARAGE
I'm so glad you are doing this fella. I have no other way of watching roadkill. Thankyou so much...✌️👍🇬🇧
No problem 👍 My pleasure
I could watch roadkill 24 hours a day. Love these guys
I love these episodes. You guys must have a blast doing this because it looks like so much fun. You guys are awesome.
Thank you for the videos!! You have no idea how good it is to see roadkill after being cut off from my motortrend subscription 😁👍🏼
Great point!
Guys, I'm just a simple down to earth veteran who really enjoy the videos that you do. You have a dream job. Even with the setbacks.

When they gave the car to Ammelie, the FEELZ!!!

I do love it when these guys get super exited about a 14 second pass from a shitbox when they both own 9 second cars, proves the passion they have.
Thanks for your videos!!!
Glad you like them!
The vice grip garage Independence chevelle nice❤
You know you got a good friend. When he/she gives you free beer👌
That was good upload another rk
Craigslist purchased, Roadkill hammered, and donated to a girl to start off her car owning days with a story for life. Not bad guys. Not bad at all. 👍
Damn they did a third gen? I’ve needed more motivation to get my ‘83 finished and watching this is doing it for me!

The struggle is real!

Nice Cougar at 38:56
Basic Roadkill episode. If they would have met all their goals we`d be kinda disappointed.
I think. More than a gas station. It would've been a car repair shop.
Yeah my heart bleeds for you
I LOVE YOU
Should have also got rid of the cat at ksr
3:50
Pop up up and down headlights

Please put the roadkill pikes peak episode back on your channel please
Garbage car. The last good year for Camaro was 1970, after that they became an East Indian dream car.
How is it even possible to be that slow? I've taken BONE STOCK fox body mustangs to high 13's..13.97
Driver Mod 🤣🤣

Surely you can do better than 360p quality
You whining about a free upload ? don't ruin it for everyone because you are so entitled.
Be thankful we were blessed with the video💀
Surely you can do better than cry on the internet.
TPB...
Surely you can be happy with the episode for free
