Ep 14. Crusher Camaro Retro Revival Begins!

In Roadkill Garage season 2 episode 14, titled "Crusher Camaro Retro Revival Begins!," the hosts, David Freiburger and Steve Dulcich, embark on a new project to revive the iconic Crusher Camaro. The car, which was originally built in the 1970s, was known for its massive horsepower and impressive speed records.

The first order of business is to strip the car down to the bare bones and assess the damage. Freiburger and Dulcich quickly discover that the car is in rough shape, with rusted out panels, a cracked windshield, and extensive body damage. Despite these setbacks, they are determined to restore the car to its former glory.

One of the first tasks is to remove the car's massive engine, a 7.0-liter V8 that had been built specifically for the Crusher Camaro. The engine is in good condition, but it needs a few upgrades to handle the power that the hosts are planning to put through it.

With the engine out of the car, the team turns its attention to the body. Dulcich has brought in a team of experts to help with the bodywork, and they get to work repairing the rust and replacing the damaged panels. They also install a new windshield and begin the long process of sanding and painting the car.

While the bodywork is underway, Freiburger begins the process of upgrading the engine. He starts by installing a new fuel injection system and headers, which will give the engine more power and better efficiency. He also replaces the old carburetor with a modern unit and adds an upgraded camshaft.

Once the body is painted and the engine is upgraded, the team gets to work reassembling the car. They install a new suspension system, brakes, and exhaust, and begin the process of wiring up the car's electrical system.

Finally, the moment of truth arrives. The team fires up the engine, and it roars to life with an impressive rumble. They take the car out for a test drive, and it handles beautifully, with plenty of power and a smooth ride.

As the episode comes to a close, the hosts marvel at the transformation of the Crusher Camaro. What was once a rusted out, damaged wreck has been transformed into a powerful, sleek machine that is ready to take on the racetrack. The Retro Revival of the Crusher Camaro is complete, and it's a thing of beauty.
