My experience as a mechanic. "If we can just slide this back we can do this and we won't have to take this off and so we'll be able to do that" 45 min later "just take it off and pull it out". And that's 99.9999% of the time. 😆

Truth is, a good C5 'Vette is probably cheaper than just about any shell of an interesting '70s car now

I salute the man that turned it back to a C2. We applaud you sir!

For real! The prior conversation was fkn hideous...🤮

That cop turning around was classic lol 😂 glad he kept moving Good job guys

Dulcich is a beast! I love all these guys. They seem to be very humble. The chemistry between all the different Roadkill guys is entertaining for sure.

😳🤣 the luck of the gods smiled on you that day!! That cop was definitely a corvette fan! These is no way they didn’t see all that smoke… love this video guys!

I love the way them more excited /happy they get, the more "Dude!" is used in the conversation. 🙂

Good job guys for making run and drive that beautiful corvette and drag racing Steve dulcich in his c5 vette we need this full episodes here on KZread from the roadkill show

Please tell me some one kicked owner #2 in the nuts HARD for turning a C2 into a C3!!! Loved that you guy's outsmarted Jonny Law👍 that was Classic!!!!

Beautiful c2 vette. Love that bodystyle and it looks great.

"Smells like freedom", that's about all we have left in the way of 'freedom', but it smells SO good :)

I wish you success, follower of your esteemed channel, Ahmed from Iraq, the capital, Baghdad.

Lol, My first car after my first engine swap, first burnout, through an intersection, with a cop watching, first exhibition ticket!

FYI - the seats in the vette are from a Pontiac Fiero 🙂

Okay now that was the nicest car that they've ever had

That was great!! You all rock. Makes wrenching on my junk worthwhile. 1 more month and I will be ripping it up as well!!

That modern LS engine makes that car way more capable and reliable. A really nice project car indeed.

Yeah, but new engine, transmission, suspension, brakes, and fuel delivery system. It's basically a brand-new car with a chassis of an old car.

Definitely a bucket list car!

MIKE,,,,,YOU ARE LIVING A DREAM IN THIS HERE VIDEO. GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU WONDERFUL PEOPLE!

Great way to start a weekend with a new Roadkill upload from Motortrend.

Spend the $5 on a sub to MTOD. They have new OG content all the time and ALL OF UK TOP GEAR is on there. All of it, including the new.

That ending was perfect lol.

Awesome to see 2 old men enjoying there past 😆

I just recognized the guy they are working with. He was on an episode of Big muscle with mike musto, quite a few years back with his Dodge Dart

That's a burnout monster 😅😂

great to see u guys back again love the vids

He'll yeah brother! Love to see a 7 second pass. I'd like to see a race against Ruby as well.

Best looking corvette in my opinion, always loved this body style

Apart from being so CooL, it is also hucking filarious!!

Finally get to see this episode in Aus!!

One of your best shows yet guys. I wish I could of been there for the burnout in Vegas.

If you know Vegas you know right in front of the sign there a police station 🤣 love these guys

Quick, turn on the fan!!

Did I spy some Pontiac Fiero speaker seats in that Corvette?

I love that feeling when you get away with it.....nice goin!

Sweet car. You guys make it look so easy

Thanks for the heads up! My husband is with his friends, installing that very same drive train in our 98 Firebird! I think he has a little explaining to do!

My eyes almost buldged out of my head in the first minute. But maybe at the time it seemed like a good idea😂😂😂

That was totally fun dudes!! Ditch them crappy Fiero seats. I got stopped by a cop right there about 20 years ago coming on to LVblvd south of the airport from the side street and didn't come to a complete stop to beat the line of cars coming and as soon as I turned there's a cop facing me & pointing his hands angrily to the side. I overheard some discussion about "oh yes, they'll find that when he goes in to DMV" because I guess they interconnected and found my old unpaid ticket from another state the weekend before I moved but they missed the 1/4lb of Crappy Herb in the cereal box on my passenger floor that I threw my hoodie over! */w\TMFR/w\*

@@ricardofierro7041 Oooops, hey I just noticed ur name, did you invent the Fiero, I apologize, the speakers in the seats were cool at the time and I love Pontiac's. I just meant that factory is known for putting in the cheapest speakers for mass production and I doubt they're exactly high fidelity audiophile grade or anything.

Man i FKING love roadkill

I wish the episode was longer.

You have a sweet corvette!!

“Smells like freedom”

If you didn't have the converter seated and the transmission was installed the pump is shattered

ROFLMAO! I can breathe, I just can't see! Best line evarrrrr!!!!!!!!! 🤣

Even if that converter wasn’t seated fully and that 60e was bolted to the block, that would have trashed the pump. Learned from experience lol.

Awesome episode

That car is way too nice for Roadkill. Cool video.

Less gimmicks and more automotive content. I don't need to see these guys shopping, I'm here for the work tips, the personalities, and the cars. The manufactured gimmicks kill it.

We need the earlcamino episode when finn and Tony rescure that drag car from a barn and drag race

That cop just happened to know how necessary bald eagle burnouts are. No harm done, just letting freedom ring.

I like how there is already rubber on the rear quarters before mentioning doing burnouts😂.

Hey, it's Finnegan and Newbern from Finnegan's garage!

Why in the world would anyone rebody a C2 ?

Awesome!!

I saw a guy that bought a burnt out C3 shell and basically just ended up with the chassis rails under the body that was still good material and bought all new fibreglass and bonded it in and built in up into a ZL1 powered vintage racecar.. But you would never know that it was fibreglass popcorn once upon a time!

Kudos tothe guy who put the body back like it should be, that kit on there was hideous.

Awesommmme!☝️👏

Dulcich referring to the Corvette says " I just got it a while ago"

Please please show more about the transmission mounts ! There is nothing available online about C2 automatic overdrives

Fiero seats, unexpected.

the 63-67 Vette became my favorite when I watched the movie king of the mountain awesome movie

I'd love to find a car like that... what fun! Amazing that cop didn't bust you guys, maybe it was too close to break time or he had another call.

That's a cool kellinson parked in the garage, pity you couldn't have had a look at that car. Maybe do a Roadkill revisited and check the cars in the background of the og Roadkill series.

The "Nerve Gasser"

Welcome to the surplus store on chester in Bakersfield nerds, if your still on the area or next time you pass. We have some hot rods that like the Street or track...

Nobody can be that lucky !

I Love the burnouts of both Vettes. Pete Dulcich is incredible. I'm a fan of burnouts!!! Aloha Mike, David and Pete!!!!

vegas cops are pretty chill for the most part strip though is pretty low tolerance for any fun times as a 5 year resident with crazy cars as well

I like it minus the cloud in the cockpit not bad for a quick thrash.

That the best

Epic

I"ve always wanted a 63 vette in white pearl with a deep gunmetal center stripe

Why this was'nt an episode of Finnegans Garage to get rid of Freiburger i dont know. Great lookin car Finnegan!!

Fin's vett. Reminds me of the RX 7 build that Nelson racing did years ago. They couldn't see squat when ever that stabbed the gas. But the RX was 1600 hp.

You were an Oildale at the Army Surplus Store and then you hit the circle heading north towards Oildale if you want to go to Vegas you got to go the other way I used to live there

Are those Fiero seats in that 66 Vette? Or did the Vette seats from the 80's come with speakers in them too?

Bro you are right you are not in Bakersfield or McFarland you are in Famoso...Famoso is an unincorporated community in Kern County, California. It is located on Poso Creek 5.5 miles south-southeast of McFarland, at an elevation of 427 feet. Famoso is located at the junction of State Route 99 and the eastern terminus of State Route 46...Cmon Mike get it together...😝😄🤣😁

All I can think is that car hadn't moved under its own power in 30 years yet they just put a transmission in it did some plumbing and wiring and immediately thrashed on it. At least take it on a highway run and drive it around town a bit to get the motor and transmission loosened up a bit first..

What are the rims that they put on the C2

I think this is the nicest corvette they ever owned and lol there not the only person to want to put wrong year corvette parts on a corvette and make it a different model corvette

Hahahahaha. "Dude, im gonna convert my vette to the bitchin vette in 'corvette summer!"

love finn sliding the vette around wearing all black in the california sun

Love this beast of a car by the way. Just sayin'.

You guys are a modern day burt Reynolds and sally field

I'm still confused at what kind of bet you'd have to lose to chop up a good C2 to make a lousy C3... 🤦‍♂ At least someone had the good sense to right a mighty injustice!

Member when they said Roadkill would always be on youtube . . . I member

doesn't even sound like an LS1, crazy.

Dave was mostly wigging out about the cop because of what he had rolled up in his pocket 🤣

So that was phase 2, something tells me phase 3 will involve something that goes whoosh stutuuutuuu 🐌

Fiero seats ?

I’m in Las Vegas

What kind of monster puts a C3 body on a C2?

12:22 general mayhem 1st run with the hellcat moment:

Autos always beat slow stick shifts.

What happened to the Cadillac, trucks and other things you’ve been working on? Lots of stuff getting started not much getting finished.

the Famoso dragstrip employees' body language could not be more clear--"We opened the track for this?"

Dosnt that engine lock up about 90 seconds later?

Bring mtod back to Australia.

my secret to always having a trans work is to avoid autos lol

I wanted to see you get pulled over so bad. If I had done that I would still be sitting in jail. It's going to be interesting to see what you come up with to run 7.0.
