Roadkill Garage is back with another exciting episode for petrolheads. In season 3 episode 33 titled "The Ford Muscle Truck and a New Pro Street Project!", the hosts, Steve Dulcich and David Freiburger, are working on two different projects— one is a 1977 Ford F-150 muscle truck and the other is a new Pro Street car.
The episode starts with Steve and David giving a rundown of the projects they have in their garage. The first one is a 1977 Ford F-150, which they have decided to turn into a muscle truck. Steve gives a brief history of the F-150 and explains how it's different from the earlier Ford trucks. The F-150's body is wider and more modern looking than the previous models, which gives it a lot of potential for a muscle build.
The duo then goes on to show the condition of the truck they have in their garage, which is in pretty bad shape. The engine is old and rusty, and the body needs a lot of work. Steve and David decide to start by stripping the truck down to the chassis, sanding the rust off, and rebuilding it from the ground up.
Meanwhile, the second project they have on hand is a new Pro Street car. Steve reveals that they've come across an excellent deal on a 1969 Chevy Nova, which they'll be turning into a Pro Street car. The concept of Pro Street cars is that they have a high-performance engine with a low center of gravity, creating a balance of power and stability.
To achieve this setup, Steve and David will have to make a few modifications to the car. They plan to install a massive engine, replace the suspension, replace the drive shafts, and re-position the battery and fuel cells. All these alterations will require some creative thinking, and it will be interesting to see how the team goes about the process.
As the episode progresses, Steve and David showcase the different steps they take to rebuild the F-150 and modify the Chevy Nova. From rebuilding the engine of the F-150 to fabricating custom parts for the Nova, the show is a masterclass on car modification.
The hosts also showcase some of their trademark shenanigans. For instance, they try to find a name for the F-150 but don't seem to agree on any. Steve suggests "Old Blue," while David likes "Blue Thunder." They eventually end up with "Blue Beast," but the debate is far from over.
In conclusion, season 3 episode 33 of Roadkill Garage titled "The Ford Muscle Truck and a New Pro Street Project!" is an exciting episode for car enthusiasts. The show is not only informative but also entertaining, thanks to the humorous commentary of the hosts. The builds themselves are impressive and showcase the expertise of Steve and David. Fans of the show are sure to enjoy this episode.
