That is the exact engine that came to my mind and I don’t put it past them since they technically did not do it themselves, would absolutely love to see that go in

So awesome. I look forward to seeing this thing running. I love the look of the back bumper, the surf blue and burnt textures look super nice together.

The exterior looks cool as it is! I'd shoot it with clear coat, then completely resto the interior and exterior trim pieces

I would definitely be scrutinising that chassis, especially the front dumb irons and any suspension mounting points to see just how hot they got. Even though it's just plain old mild steel, the sort of temperature needed to melt that aluminium (650-700C) will certainly have affected it to some degree, making it tougher and more ductile, with less strength and hardness as a result. A crash or hard impact will crumple it up much worse than the same impact on an unburned car. A replacement chassis wouldn't be a bad shout, and I'd personally want to cage the thing or at least brace the footwells and sills to prevent ingress of solid objects should it all go wrong. Fire damaged cars can certainly live again, but most end up having new chassis' or being spaceframed for strength and safety. Waxoyl or just plain satin clearcoat would look really cool on this. A 'rat look' car that has actually _earned_ the patina it has! As the comment below says, Australian 'Barra' engine. It's punny and can be boosted to oblivion.

I am surprised I am not seeing more comments on this. I wouldn't much trust the metal on that unless it gets heat treated. I would certainly not want it on the road. I know they have driven some rust buckets, but that whole car is weakened to some extent, except for maybe the back passenger side... Especially when he poked the hood, and said all the metal felt weird, that should be a sign. Its possible the underside of the car, mainly the frame, might have been shielded to some extent, but if the inside of the car was on fire, I wouldn't trust seats bolted to that floorpan.

@TheWierdFish

6 жыл бұрын

Not sure on these cars whether they're monocoque or body-on-chassis, but I assumed the latter. I wouldn't trust a fire damaged monocoque as far as I could throw it, but a separate chassis can be replaced and and the body should be fine. I agree seats, belt mounts and suchforth should be braced though. Especially as Roadkill aren't known for gentle driving techniques...

@albertgaspar627

They are not body on chassis, and he did say he'd put on frame connectors. Judging by his finally wearing pants, the air temp during the vid must not have been all that warm. Maybe in direct sunlight, that "bottom of the oil can" thinness to the hood may make for some distortion when the metal tries to expand in the heat. I don't mean the hood, so much as that roof is structural. Like that Monte Carlo they killed, they may need a trip to the roundy-round race car store, and get a simple wiring harness and other circle track items to get this car back on the road. There's a video where they save one of these early 'cudas from a junkyard.

Guys at Roadkill - I don't know if you've looked into this but heat changes metal's mechanical properties. It can make it soft or brittle and certainly weaker without obvious signs. I STRONGLY recommend that you make sure the frame and body is inspected metallurgically to see if you can safely drive it again.

@CanadaBud23

Judging by how the body was 'annealed' I guess the sheet metal wasn't too bad so I would think the frame rails were minimally affected if at all. It depends if they have been thinned out or rotted badly. To alter the frame that much the sheet metal would be totally gone. Obviously unknown unless we see the car personally. I'd cage it and strengthen the frame anyway even if it didn't suffer a fire.

That's worrying. I guess it depends on whether the Cuda used mild steel or whether it had any heat-treated components in it. I don't know Cudas but I know my 90s Nissan has a few high-strength steel panels in the body that the manual says you'll screw up if you try to weld them with a torch. I'm not sure when that sort of thing started.

Clear the exterior. Then install full interior, windows, and all new exterior trim.

A few years ago, when a fire rolled through here in Colorado, a lot of cars ended up like this. One car, I think it was a Galaxy convertible, got hit in a cool way. The entire temporary shed it was in burned to the ground but the car was almost untouched. The back of the top had a bit of charring or smoke damage on it but otherwise it was safe. I don't know if it got fixed, but I personally wouldn't have fixed it. That damage just became a major part of the cars story! I always found stuff like this really cool.

I vote for a restoration. Dulcich knows what's up... it's a Cuda, some things shouldn't be turned into a rat rod.

That car must have been a beautiful car back in the day. I love the turquoise. I had a friend whose shop burned a few years ago. I went up to inspect the damage afterwards. His '69 GTO was way worse than this Barracuda, even the m21 had melted. There was a 454 short block on an engine stand. The stand had bent over from the heat until the end of the block touched the ground and the pistons melted and ran out onto the floor. There were 4 piles of gears neatly stacked together on the floor as well. My friend pointed to them and said those were the VW transaxles he was saving for his dune buggies. The aluminum was completely gone. Amazing how hot a fire can get.

Sweet, I too like that body style Cuda... Although it's not my favorite. Awesome to know she's gonna be back on the road!!!

Bring her back to life....awesooooome! 👍👌🤘

Rb swap? Barra swap? 202 red motor swap? Im excited to see what you guys are going to bring to the table! I just hope its like every other roadkill were you guys put a beautiful engine in some rusty old relic! Love the work! Keep it up!!

That’s awesome

It's amazing that the right rear would actually survive with all the heat that had to have surrounded the car. A restoration at this point would be fairly easy I would think due to there being almost no Bondo or lead on the vehicle and no trim parts to worry about until the rotisserie work is done.

I was one of the fire fighters last summer (2017) and saw a ton of burnt vehicles, it was a bad year

awesome

I hope they do a mad max ratrod/offroad style build with this one. The way it's covered in rust makes it look like the magnum opus from the mad max game.
