Street "Legal" Stock Car Body Swap - Roadkill Ep. 46
Vložit
- čas přidán 24. 12. 2015
- The Roadkill guys finally did what they've been planning for three-plus years! Long ago they bought a late-model circle track race car and planned to drive it to the Deep South, but the car could not be insured because it had no VIN. Solution? Install a body that has a VIN! That's exactly what you'll see in this episode, as a 1970 Chevy Monte Carlo is transformed into the beast now known as the Nascarlo! It even drives on the street! And races on the dirt track! But suffice it to say it does not all end well. Roadkill is powered by Dodge and supported by Eastwood Company, Dickies, and Optima Batteries.

That (was/is) the best looking car from roadkill !
Personally I prefer the mayham
+DriftTek rotson just has that appeal.
It does look sick but I like the muscle truck better.
I personally like cars with big hoods ! hahah
+DriftTek Mayhem has it's own look but comparing it to the Nascarlo it's just a stock body with some roadkill fixes and Nascarlo on the other hand is a full on Roadkill design car. So I would say that Nascarlo is the best looking car they have built in Roadkill yet and not just fixed car.
Man this is legit probably my favorite car the guys have ever done!! I've got my fingers crossed that hopefully they'll remake it with another monte carlo body and make it twice as badass as the first!! I'm counting on you guys!!
they have already rebuilt it on faster Finnigan and a few other episode
Yeah I watched that one but I mean put another body on it and make it more show car like not so much a beater ya know what I mean. They did make it look better though I will give em that.
@@BIGchrisJbitch84
They don't do show Quality Cars they only do junk cars. They always ugly
@@matthewvarnam4302 Yeah that's probably why I said car show LIKE!! That doesn't mean build a Barrett Jackson car!!
@@matthewvarnam4302Beauty is only skin deep,but ugly goes right to the bone.
I truly miss these days of Roadkill. Nascarlo, the Rotsun, Vette Kart, and the Toyota truck with boat motor were always my three fave builds. A true inspiration for me and my gearhead journey in those days.
*Mazda truck with a boat motor
Discovery KILLED everything we loved! Its all about money! I cancelled my MOTD last month.
Still my favorite Roadkill creation. A full scale build of this thing would be epic…
Same, well, stubby Bob is tied with this build
U know how many spin-offs there are now! I gotta hit the uninterested button cuz just too many..
okay its been 7 years, where are we at?
It's been 8 now
Earth
and still coming back almost every year to rewatch this masterpiece of a show.
8 years now...
they rebuilt it on faster with Finnegan
I still can’t look at a stock Monte Carlo without having to ask myself “why doesn’t it look right on the back end?” 😂
roadkill on the first day of Christmas! so much win
yee
what do mean by first date, there's only one date
Flat4_vdub_Garage the first day of Christmas like the song
+Evan Is Evan ooooohhh, lol thanks man,
Flat4_vdub_Garage no problem buddy :)
We need the monte carlo low rider episode here on CZcams pleasee
Umm, we need them ALL back on CZcams, please.
they don't sell these to white people!😂😂😂
My favorite episode
they make monte carlos (bisket) in australia
I watched it on netflix before they took it down
I love how they destroyed the stock car AND the Monte Carlo THEN decided "hey, maybe we should MEASURE ONCE" ... lol gr8 video
Your use of "gr8" made me think that your comment was from 8 years ago

Yeah i can see in that clip that the car did a weird movement where it did dip down in the front right where it broke the ball joint. Truly roadkill fashion where they get it running and never touch the suspension and put the car through like 1 and a half Gs of force turning lol.
Damit. I just noticed and posted lol.. Good eye!
dude good eye, i thought it was a coilover mount but after thinking about it it wouldnt have pitched the wheel back like that
This will remain one of the greatest episodes ever!
You can see the car break in the video. suspension collasped on the right hand side. Sucks but this thing makes a return
What a beauty! I love Monte Carlos, you gave this body a life it never had. Huge props!
Well said sir, well said..
One more build of this and do a Roadtrip please. This was such an awesome build.
Oh, so now the pay gate is gone.
Now I can finally enjoy watching roadkill again after 4 or 5 years.
Funny how sponsored by Dodge and still wanted an admission fee.
Dude it's $5 a month
it was a cash grab by greedy execs. they always know how to ruin a good show. and these idiots are all too happy to let you know they pay it.
People still complain about this years later? Lmfao.
@@rexmedina4561 imagine being happy to pay for free content 🤷🏽♂️
@@djzomb1 it’s just five bucks.
Last guy: "oh nice they are gonna do something cool with that old thing!"
Finn and fry: "and today we are returning her to stock"
the Irony of this episode is, at the time, the stockcar was one of the longest standing vehicles in storage just waiting for some roadkill love.
It lasted 15 hours.
Man this car is awesome you guys really gotta fix this thing. Even 8 years later I still love watching this thing slide around and it just looks cool.
Probably my favorite in the ROADKILL fleet!
Wow Great job guy's, I really enjoyed watching! You made me smile and have a good chuckle or two. Thanks!
First roadkill video I’ve watched. This was awesome. Funny. Sad. A great story. I want them to bring it back to life.
Oh my god I didn’t even see that the video is 6 years old
they bring it back to life. I highly recommend paying for motor trend on demand. it has everything. youtube barely shows any of their footage.
@@williammclaughlin2606 they choose what to post tho
You’ve gotta check out the general mayhem of you haven’t already. It’s a great one
Still my favorite roadkill project hope it gets brought back
They did. :)
I’ve watched this many times, I can honestly say, I’m still surprised the ball joint snapped like that. And what a result.
Love you guys! I've been watching you guys on motortrend for 4 yrs. My satellite sucks right now cuz it doesn't work! SO....I have you guys on CZcams! Love the cut-up job on the Monty.
I love there is Goodyear cup car tires on a late model, the only thing missing is a Dale Earnhardt Sr. paint job
it's been a long time since this aired - why is this back now?
yes, i still do youtube searches hoping the guys will be back for good which is why i am here now.
why now, guys?
Bruh same
Motortrend tried to capitalize on roadkill by deleting all the episodes off youtube and only making them available on their paid streaming service. It is failing so I guess this is their response to try to get some views back.
@@benjaminshelton885 i figured as much i just didn't want to say they were view whoring. oops, i guess i just did...
i tried the motor trend route, but was not inspired to stay a subscriber.
yes, some of the shows are worth viewing but somehow roadkill changed after they left.
Both mechanics, ones a nerd, the other shade tree; but together build some awesome machines!
Read that as an intro to an 80s action movie🤣
Dude, this thing looks exactly like Sweet JP's Trans-am from Redline and I'm all for it
When finegan ran to the car to make sure Frieberger was ok truly shoes their friendship
"shoes" ......... 🤣
I mean yeah it does. Ik if that was one of my buddies Id be right out there makin sure they’re alright. A lot of crashes like that don’t look too bad but when its you in that car its much more jarring
I still get sad at the end seeing the memorial of Mika the dog...
Do as we say not as we do...my best episode of all time
Looks like when he turned right to slide it he was alittle too high, then something snapped and locked the wheels to the right. I really respect guys that drive on dirt, that's alot of skill
there problem is, they dont check or replace parts. i doubt they change the oil..
the lowerballjoint popped out wich buried the wheel in the wheelwell unabling it to spin there for its like having 100% brakes on 1 wheel of the car and due to it being low the quarter pannel also dug into the ground,not a single driver out there coulda saved that one
@@MrMuziekman ya I’ve had that happen before. Thankfully mine kept going straight
Yeah, it's kinda sad but this episode is still a win. that was an epic roadtrip and an epic build aswell. Love to see these old episodes of Roadkill
One of my favorite episodes
the best part is as someone who has seen this episode upwards of 12- 16 ish times over the years is that dave knows this car was set up for road racing which means it is waAAAYYY off for running ovals and then add dirt into the equation he is still shocked that it hit the wall lmao. true roadkill 🤘🤘🤞 i miss having a motortrend account
it hit the wall cuz the baljoint popped out ,the right wheel could not spin plus the quarter pannel dug into the ground xd
got nothing to do with it not being setup for ovals and that being said you can drive ovals without a setup,the setup sure gives some mroe grip but mostly decreases tirewear xd
Of course you can have a VIN number. States issue them all the time for home built vehicles. I have two of them.
Not in cali
@@atomicbogator6799 Not true. I know quite a few people in Cali that built trikes with special construction titles. California is the land of special construct vehicles and without it people like George Barris and Gene Winfield would have been out of business.
From an old stock car guy, I loved this!
This gets better Everytime I see it.
Ahh memories i used to watch roadkill everyday and i miss full roadkill episode on youtube
What happened to the show?
@@LucifersDeathSquad they made the videos private on 2020 and below
I used to watch these religiously too. THEN THE PAYWALL.
Bring this back to life 😊
Love the build names.
Reminder to please fix it and make it better! This is the most beautiful ugly legend of a car you guys ever build. I come back to this video once in a while in sweet memory.
Well done gentlemen!
the amount of foreshadowing is crazy
This episode brings back some memories! I STILL want a car with a transmission like that :)
Watching is relaxation.
i have those same tillerman gloves for welding theyre good
Literally the coolest car I’ve ever seen
You guys are hero’s to many 🍻
Love this show
It sounds awesome!!!
great video
It’s something I didn’t know I needed
loved this one.
you can hear the moment that rear gives out and the wheel jams in the fender
My favorite car from the fleet
Any time I see a Monte Carlo evil thoughts come to mind .
Built big block , turbo 400 , 12 bolt with a cage and fresh ac with a decent stereo .
Looks killer like that!
Dope Video Sirs
Man, that sucks!!! The forms are perfect on this one. This car is the golden ratio on itself, that's why people love it!
please fix it! this was awesome!
The bare roll cage kinda resembles a 1980s Corvette if you look close enough
A.J. Swierzbinski it does indeed actually!
Animalzy Well now they seem to disguise old corvettes as roll cages on other cars lol.
fri your the man
+A.J. Swierzbinski maybe put a corvette body on it next?
I'm very happy the ball joint didn't snap while on the freeway and that you're safe Freiberger.
+Johnny Frost Might of been joining the dog !!!
+Johnny Frost Agreed. But it was probably under way more stress on the clay oval which was the bigger factor in it breaking.
+What's Will Doing there's much less grip on clay than there is on asphalt. One emergency manoeuvre or a big pothole and the ball joint would have experienced much more stress than on the oval.
+Alex Wu Hmm yeah could be. I don't have any personal experience on a clay track, been to a couple races and seen how lumpy he tracks can get. Would think a pothole could put some stress on things even when slipping.
+Johnny Frost ...They knew the front end had been hit while it was in storage. czcams.com/video/YUefSKCjP8w/video.htmlm29s , would not have been fun to roll it a freeway speeds.
damn, I want to see this fixed and see them take both this and the general mayham to the rally school and race them.
This, fucking this. if anyone from motor trend reads the comments please make this happen, or race the general mayhem and the nascarlo on the dirt oval. Regardless they need to make those two cars race somewhere not on pavement.
That would be cool.
+TurtleFace991 yeah :) that or buy a second one of these and take em there. I do think it would be cool for them to go to the rally school with all the corners, bumps and water it would be sick. plus they said they would go back.
I was thinking about that as soon as he made a lap of the oval track😂
👍
Thank god that ball joint didn't break on the freeway.
I gotta be honest: I love this thing, I even love the weird roofline, it's epic.
I wish this kind of stuff was legal in Germany... Kind of pissed he put it in the wall though. But by the looks part of the steering snapped.
They said in the video the ball joint was ripped out of the control arm, basically disconnecting the wheel/hub to the steering.
Matt Bowlin Ye, heard that basically a minute after commenting, lol
Hey, noch ein Deutscher :D sowas ist hier einfach undenkbar mit unserem geliebten TÜV :(
I love that roofline too :D
+frosty95xy In gewissem Sinne wäre sowas sogar möglich (wenn man das Fahrgestell eines 30 + Jahre alten Serienfahrzeuges als Basis verwenden würde, aber die Einzelabnahme wird teuer.
I miss roadkill on CZcams
alex ocampo I don't
Randy Hutchinson k
What happened to it?
Bananana went pay to watch on a different website
...me too
Crate engine, clutchless 4-speed, full steel tubular frame And the Carlo body just happens to fit?! and street legal? Awesome piece of machinery!
I want to see nascarlo rebuilt.. this car is amazing.
they did
when? link
Jimmy Andersson right here in roadkill episode 50
Sell me this car before I enlist in the army lol
I want to see it again too
Oh man that sucks. You can see the right front drop and dig in. You need to get this fixed and put it up against the General Mayhem. Those two are a match made in heaven.
YES
+MickMaan Yeah I saw that too. I noticed the front right dip and as soon as it had done so, the car twisted and slammed into the wall
Rest In Peace Bika, you will forever be in our hearts
the end had me super bummed out, then the doggie part just rubbed salt in my wounds :(
+MoonMan Do you know how it died? I didnt know about this.......
+Jonah Hatfield died of cancer :/
+Craig J no it had kidney disease
Ya the ending was sad
I totally agree with everyone else, the dog was absolutely beautiful. So much so, it could have been made into another whole episode. HINT, HINT!
The ending nearly made me cry. RIP Bika :(
That sucks but if you look at it this way, that ball joint could have broken on the highway going 65mph.
Exactly, you can look on things different, which can make sucking things good/better
+Zac Price Yeah, that would suck. Though, from all the cars that they drove, I'm thinking this would've been the best car to be in during whatever happens after that thing broke on a highway.
+Ignas359 It wasn't made to protect the passenger so that would have been bad.
c0c0asauce Ah, fair point, still isn't the rollbar pretty sturdy all around?
Ball joint breaks going down highway they wreck hit another car and injury or even worse kill someone bye bye roadkill show they got lucky on this one
The only gift i got this christmas... Ty guys
Best gift ever
Fuck yes, 1 day after xmas for me tho. In NZ 😜 1:39am atm but fuck it!
Same, lol
and a great gift it was lol
same here, I'm happy with it :)
I know I’m not the only one that wants to drive that freakin car no matter what it looks like lol. The tires and engine is all that matters
And the transmission, I want one so bad.
williamsshane021 wdym that’s one of the coolest looking cars I’ve ever seen
I think the NASCARlo might be the new Roadkill favorite, beating the General Mayhem! BRING IT BACK PLS!!!!
+Jay Leno it inspired me to build a junkyard charger myself, building a 69 charger now, still needs some things, but have a body and an rv motor for $300...
linglingjr i wish, i got the motor for $300 ... and my charger IS a rusted out POS. Wasnt no $300 though...
linglingjr no sorry, i did buy a 66 mustang last year for $350. But as you can imagine its a hunk of junk.
+Jay Leno ruined with hellcat engine?? how is that so?
+Jay Leno It's easier to say that guys living in the south have a pretty sweet deal, automotive-ly speaking. Guys have stuff in their junk piles down there that would be pure premium gold plated hotness if was a few states north. (or on the east coast)
so cool to remember "dog" bika! made me smile!!
+transdetendal The dog's dead.
*****
i know , thats why i wrote what i did! always good to remember what made you glad!
+Bladsmith dogs dead?? :(
Rasse .leo
unfortunatly yes some months ago
+transdetendal
RIP Bika
It was getting a lot of attention because it looks like something out of mad max.
+bukueOner Or maybe because they were wearing helmets for once.
+bukueOner o yea it does
+Coco "Oh look, it's Daft Punk!"
+LimitedOptionsMan haha daft punk
awww that dog was so funny poor thing grown man brought a tear to my eye
You aren't the only one dude.
;-; so sad
+Bryan Jones she passed away
:( Such a good dog. That brought a tear to my eye too.
Andres Jr Aguilar
I'd honestly like to have something like this as a daily.
Idk if its just me, but I'd rather have that than a new Ferrari
+McWithJosh not just you.
+McWithJosh
only problem is if i drive it here in UK i wont get 2 meters without being pulled over
i hate the UK sometimes...
Far easier to take an old muscle car, lower it on stock car looking wheels and tires. U can use miss matched panels, bolt it a few cage bars, do loud exhaust etc. these guys REALLY REALLY know what they are doing and have all the tools/budget, remember they did a motor swap in the snow in the parking lot and drove it home.
+Denis Gumus It wouldn't pass an NCT. You'd have to have your own insurance company to insure it.
This is by far my top MOST Favorite episode and car on Roadkill. I really wanna drive that thing BADLY
Yeah you can see in the video that the front end does i weird move just before NASCARlo attacks the wall
MCHFacts
@@silasmcgee3647 haha of course only you did... ol eagle eye McGee...
One of my favorite episodes ever. The stockcar is dear to me because I'm pretty sure that's my old engine and transmission in there. I parted out my old race car after a wreck that claimed the life of my good friend and co-driver. The engine and trans (ZZ4 with Jericho) went to a guy who had a dark blue Monte Carlo with unpainted black nose. Interestingly, Freiburger used to store his project cars in our shop at the time too. Small world.
WAIT WHAT THE DOG IS GONE??
+Kushothe NO WAY SHE WAS MY FAVORITE HOST
+Kushothe She died few weaks ago Freiburger announced it over twitter
+Kushothe Yes, sadly she passed away a few months ago. It was announced on the FB page
+Arne Hurnik she probably chilled too far out
***** or barfing on Freiburgers.... Oh god David NEVER stand in the rain again.
I think my favorite moment is right after David hits the wall. I loved seeing Mike run over to make sure he was okay. Really shows how these guys are friends who care. Good moment. Nice to see actual down-to-earth people on Car Shows.
RoboTheGreatful you can hear emotion in his voice too
Yep you could see he was concerned
Not mad at all, just worried.
yep its great when you can tell its real and not scripted! I love these guys! True friends doing what they love doing!
RoboTheGreatful I liked that bit too. I was amazed by the his moving part.
Bet no-one saw the credits. RIP Dog
radeakins somebody noticed
radeakins I saw the credits and I was confused rip dog
i didnt until i saw the comment, RIP pupper
I didn't even know the dog died until I watched it again and I saw the drawing RIP. Loved that dog
I'm so sad about it
This amazing and emotional. Lovely tribute at the end. Thank you RK gang
+Nick Murray Didnt expect to see you here but hey everyone loves Roadkill
+Nick Murray your awesome comment and good trailer just got you a subscriber.
This is one of the only shows I watch with out getting bored I genuinely watch this and am surprised time after time and can’t get enough
Rip roadkill dog?
Yes

yeah, poor bika died a few weeks ago
+Invincible Extremes Muscle Cars Garage Still makes me tear up a bit. But knowing how much they loved her makes it better. #RKDogForEver.
long live bika
Best Christmas gift ever thank you Hot Rod
The anticipation is part of the fun!
Hell yeh
+Brandon Moya not sure if that mustang is yours, but I've seen it on Instagram! Very nice stang.
Killer car!
Glad everyone is safe.
I love Finnegan's positivity.
Very Merry Christmas Freiburger, Finnegan and everyone reading this
you too!
+Biem Leichel You too!
Christmas happy u too!
+Biem Leichel u too man
Merry (though late) Christmas, and a happy new year.
RIP Bika the roadkill dog! such a sweetheart..
Is it bad that I'm crying now and when the episode first aired?
The best thing about this episode is the body modification. You really made something that looks surprisingly good, completely precipitously. I never liked that monte carlo look until you moved the roof back and slammed it. Now I'm determined to replicate this someday!
Does the way frieberger says roof bother anyone else??
ruff
I've heard roof as ruff. I've heard water as wooter. Kinda just got used to it.
He said roof, just like it's spelled and we were taught to say it. :-)
I'm not sure how roof is spelt "ruff" in your eyes but ight.
It's roof not ruff.
the end of the video was awesome guys :-(
+Rex4x4 This vs the Ratsun, who wins?
+grandprismatic lol yup
+paradoxdesigns this hands down
***** a
Finnigan never gives up! Minutes after you crash it, Finnigan is already planning "the evolution." Great episode.
Early 80's, a couple friends and I towed a '67 Chevelle to Pearsonville Speedway. Enter a $200 "claimer" race. I had never raced in my life. Qualified last. They inverted the start. I was terrified! Finally towards the end of the race, I started pushing the pedal. Had a great time!
does anybody realise mike was first more worried for David than for the car, and you can see how when everything is clear they start worrying bout the car
BigG you can fix a broken car. You can’t fix a broken friend.
BigG yeah props I was so gutted for him but yeah it's good that's what he was concerned about
Agreed! Cars are replaceable friends are not
wait you guys are actually able to get insured? i guess your insurance company doesn't watch your show.
Lol
+Ashish Patel I guess the insurance is on Hot Rod Magazine and not on Roadkill Show.
+Ashish Patel Motor Trend probably acts as their own insurer. I think you can self insure in CA if you post a bond with the state and prove you have enough financial resources to cover whatever the state minimums are.
I thought it was a least technically possible to register the stock car as a kit car
+Daniel Maia No, kit cars carry the vin of whatever car they are built on I believe
Hands down my favorite episode and project car. That thing was AWESOME
Here I am, watching this after almost 4 years later, and enjoyed it like the first time. What an amazing experience! vroom!
