Episode 1
Body Swap, Street Dragging '56 Chevy!
Wed, May 20, 202028 mins
Why can't you leave something lying around in the shop? Someone will take it, of course. On this episode of Roadkill Garage, David Freiburger and Steve Dulcich have nabbed the '56 Chevy 210 that Tony and Lucky revived on episode 69 of Hot Rod Garage. It was once a 1965 NHRA H Class Champion, but unfortunately, its body is complete garbage - even for Freiburger and Dulcich's standards. Now the guys have decided to body swap it with some better sheetmetal that Freiburger has been hoarding for far too long. Follow along as they ditch the rust and holes and bring this car closer to its former glory with some passes at the Kingman Street Drags on Route 66.

Episode 9
Pontiac T-37 Handling Upgrade Frustration!
Wed, Oct 14, 202034 mins
We can all agree, the springs of 2020 was a debacle of unprecedented proportions. No you read that right, springs not spring. Freiburger and Dulcich tackle the easy task of upgrading the handling of the T-37 only to have their most infuriating build to date. Will they bounce back to improve in the six-clod test, or will the springs of 2020 keep them home bound?

Fixing the '56 Chevy!
Wed, Oct 21, 202037 mins
The body-swapped '56 Chevy is back, and it is all WIN. Freiburger and Dulcich ditch the 265ci V-8 for the home built Covid-350. With the addition of a six-speed manual trans, and the wheel hop issue fixed, the question is: Will the added power of the 500-hp Covid-350 lift the front end, or cause the stock rear end to depart itself of gears? Watch and find out.

Wed, Oct 28, 202034 mins
