What’s happening with Steve Dulcich from Roadkill Garage? Find out here as Dulcich and I chat about the cancellation of our shows, including Engine Masters. We’ll talk about Steve’s next plans, reminisce about old times, and answer questions from a bunch of viewers. You’ll find out about some of Steve’s top-of-the-list project cars, too.

Here’s the story of how street car racing went mainstream! I was on staff at Hot Rod Magazine during the creation of the legendary Hot Rod Fastest Street Car Shootout in 1992, and I was the editor when we started Hot Rod Drag Week, which was the origin of drag-and-drive racing. I’ll tell you the stories of how those events began, and I'll go way back to the 1940s through the 1970s to show you how hot rodding has always been the quest to find the fastest street car.

It’s Needles to Santa Monica on Route 66 in California! This is a different kind of Route 66 road trip as I’ll be seeking the best abandoned cars and trucks and car-related stuff from old signs to derelict gas stations and beyond. There’s a bunch of history and trivia to love, plus a lot of Americana!

Rick Péwé and I have been doing road trips together for decades, and you’ve seen our trip from Phoenix to Key West here on my channel. Rick is also a noted authority on vintage Jeeps, and has a huge collection of his own—mostly in au natural condition. He doesn’t call it a junkyard, but a Jeep grotto. Here’s the first tour of the place that you’ve seen.

This 1969 Chevy C/20 pickup was the score of a lifetime! I bought it sight unseen, and in this video you’ll see me road trip to home for 820 miles through the desolate Mojave Desert. Amboy, Joshua Tree, Twentynine Palms, all the hot spots. Of course I’ll give you some trivia, history, and abandoned places along the way. And I located a lost WWII airfield!

This video is all about muscle car V8 horsepower and dyno testing based on our experiences on the Engine Masters TV show! Steve Dulcich dishes the tech facts while I rant a bit in this Q&A session that also has flashbacks to Steve and I working together for 20-plus years in magazines and television at MotorTrend and beyond. We ended up busting a lot of engine myths, at least in the world of street-strip performance.

The Cheap Thrills Dart is the car you remember from Hot Rod magazine with the hose clamp transmission mount—a piece of butchery I used to install a used 440 big-block into a 1968 Dodge Dart in my quest to run 12s in the quarter mile for less than $2,000 back in 1995. I’m not saying Cheap Thrills was the first ratty muscle car—far from it—but it was the nastiest thing Hot Rod mag had done to that point, and it influenced a lot of folks to realize that it was ok to have fun with cars that were not perfect. It set a tone for what Car Craft magazine would later become and also influenced the style of Roadkill TV. In this video I’ll tell you the inside story of how it all happened

It’s my Resto Rescue 1972 Plymouth Road Runner! I got a great deal on this freshly painted Mopar with a 440, a four-speed, and a nice interior, and I THOUGHT I was going to fix some stuff and road trip it home. It ended up having the worst oil leak I've ever seen, and nearly every bolt on the engine was finger tight! I spent about 10 days over two years getting the Road Runner running again, and this is part 1 of that story as I whip the 440 back to life! Part 2 is the next video on the David Freiburger Channel.

This Mopar had it all! Nice paint, decent interior, 440 engine, four-speed trans, Gear Vendors overdrive, 3.55 gears. It’s a ’72 Road Runner, among my favorite body styles. I snapped it up…then everything went wrong. In part 1 of this budget-conscious rescue series, I pulled the 440, fixed all the loose bolts, cleaned it all up, reinstalled it, and got it running. This time, it drives! At least briefly.

I bought the Roadkill Garage barn-find 1966 International 1100 shortbed pickup from MotorTrend TV, and now it can be yours! In this video you’ll get a very good look at the condition of the truck as I clean it up, test drive it, and show you the problems I know about.

Stubby Bob the wheelie truck is the greatest creation from the Roadkill TV show! Mike Finnegan and I started building this 1950 Ford F6 a decade ago. We shortened the wheelbase before installing a blown big-block Chevy in the back and doing huge wheelstands even when KJ Jones said we couldn't. When Tony Angelo got involved, it got even more ridiculous. In the final season of Roadkill, Finnegan and I road tripped Stubby Bob to the dirt drags. It got impounded, the engine seized, the rearend started coming apart, and it was generally a death trap. That didn’t stop me from buying it from MotorTrend when Roadkill shut down.

My 1974 Jeep Cherokee is very cool and shockingly rust-free for a fullsize Jeep, but I overpaid for it on a whim before discovering it needed a lot of work, from changing the rear main seal to solving a catastrophic tuneup. This episode has a bunch of fixing stuff, and my next video will show me hitting the road in the Cherokee for even more mechanical adventures.

I lived the life before Roadkill TV, and this episode shows that I’m living it now, too. All this video really needs is Mike Finnegan. I bought this 1974 Jeep Cherokee because I loved it so much, but it had some mechanical issues. Just when I thought I’d fixed it enough for a road trip, I hit the highway and everything broke. I repaired it in a gas station, at the parts store, in a Home Depot parking lot, in an empty field…you get the idea. It’s a great adventure! Plus you’ll hear the wild story of Giant Rock. Really.

The 1966 and 1967 Oldsmobile Toronado was revolutionary, and I never knew how cool they are until I bought one! These things are rad! In the video, I’ll talk you through the history (John Beltz was a BOSS) and show you the car I bought from MotorTrend TV. Yes, this is the Toronado from the Holden Brothers TV show. It’s dressed up as the car that raced and won at Pikes Peak in 1968.

It’s My Two Daves! Freiburger and Chappelle, I mean. The Daves of Hazard. Daves of Our Lives. Daves and Confused. Whatever you want to call it, this video is the story Dave Chappelle from ‪@thedirtheadshed‬ buying a horrible 1951 Plymouth kustom from the MotorTrend TV fleet and hitting my driveway for a vain attempt at a tuneup before we hit the road north for a lot of suffering. Along the way, we’ll meet up with custom king Alex Gambino and ‪@4xFredWilliams‬ ! It’s all big fun.

General Mayhem is the 1968 Dodge Charger that you know from the Roadkill show, and it lives on! Yes, I own the car. The Hellcat engine is gone and the motorhome 440 is back and making horsepower. The current combo was a blast at DirtFish Rally School, but I can still make it better, and I’ll reveal my plans in the video. I’ll also do a show and tell about things you likely have not seen or heard even though General Mayhem appeared on more epsodes of Roadkill and Roadkill Garage than any other car.

I rescued a barn-find 1970 Dodge Super Bee that was parked for 36 years! That means it was ignored since 1989. This is my second concurrent ’70 Super Bee, as I still own my first car that I bought in 1983. This new one is a 383 four-speed car. In the video, I’ll drag out the Bee and clean it up, you’ll see me score a ton of other parts, and I’ll even walk you through an amazing collection of vintage tractors and a machine shop from 1904!

This time I’m road tripping through Arizona and New Mexico to discover some cool abandoned places in my 1999 Dodge Ram V10 4x4. I had not been on some of these New Mexico backroads and was surprised to find some legit ghost towns and great classic car junkyards.

Yup, I bought the 1971 Pontiac T-37 from Roadkill TV! This is the car Mike Finnegan and I pulled out of L&L Classics in Wendell, Idaho. Steve Dulcich and I road tripped this one through downtown Manhattan, then gave it a fresh 400 engine on Roadkill Garage. Now it’s in my own driveway and I’m sorting out all the little details we ignored on TV.

Yeah, this is The Red Duster, a 1971 Plymouth Duster that Steve Dulcich and I built on a budget on Roadkill Garage. In this video I’ll show you how we built the car while giving it some wrenching love before I hit the road for a mini adventure to visit…Steve Dulcich! This is a real low-buck muscle car with a 360 and a four-speed.
