Hot Rod Garage is back with an exciting new episode that car enthusiasts are sure to love. In season 8 episode 90 titled "1971 Caddy Sedan DeVille Made Hard to Kill!!," the guys from the show get their hands on a classic 1971 Cadillac Sedan DeVille that is in desperate need of some TLC.

As always, the team is up to the challenge and they set to work modifying and improving the car in order to make it better than ever. This particular Cadillac is quieter than a church mouse and slower than a snail, but the team is determined to give it some much-needed upgrades.

The first thing they do is upgrade the engine, swapping the old 472ci big block V8 for a newer, more powerful 500ci unit. This engine has proven itself to be a reliable and powerful performer, and it's just what this classic Caddy needs. They also install a new transmission and rearend to handle the power, ensuring that the car can handle any challenge they throw its way.

Next up, they turn their attention to the suspension. The old Caddy is known for its soft, comfortable ride, but that's not what Hot Rod Garage is after. They want this car to handle like a modern sports car, so they replace the shocks and springs with more aggressive units. This gives the car a much stiffer ride, but it also allows it to handle corners like a champ.

With the engine and suspension taken care of, it's time to focus on the exterior. The team strips the car down to bare metal and begins the process of repainting it. And instead of the original blue color, they go with a stealthy black that looks absolutely incredible. They also add some custom touches like blacked-out trim, custom badges, and a new vinyl roof to give the car a unique look.

But that's not all. They also add some new wheels and tires, upgrading to a set of wider, meatier units that both improve the car's looks and give it better traction on the road. And to really finish things off, they install a custom exhaust system that not only sounds incredible, but also adds a bit of extra horsepower.

Throughout the entire episode, the guys from Hot Rod Garage take the time to explain each of the modifications they make and the reasons behind them. This not only makes for an entertaining show, but it also provides valuable insight to anyone who might be looking to modify their own car.

Overall, season 8 episode 90 of Hot Rod Garage is a must-watch for anyone who loves classic cars and wants to see what can be done with a bit of hard work and ingenuity. The team from the show delivers yet another incredible build that is sure to inspire viewers to take on their own projects.
