Return of the Vanishing Paint '70 Challenger!

Overview

One of the most popular projects from Roadkill Garage is the "Vanishing Paint" 1970 Dodge Challenger from way back on Episode 4 of the series. The car has been ignored for 30 episodes now, but when Tire Rack invited Roadkill to a race coming up later this year, David Freiburger and Steve Dulcich decided to lower their lofty goals for the car and just get it running well enough to make the trip. You’ll see the installation of the 360ci small-block that was assembled over 16 episodes of our Roadkill Extra “How to Build Your First Engine” series, plus the guys will hop up the TorqueFlite trans and show you the most affordable way to convert a muscle car to a new Ford 9-inch rearend. Of course the show closes with some traditional Roadkill Garage exhibitions of speed, but this isn’t the last you’ll see of the Vanishing Paint: stick with Motor Trend Premium to see an upcoming episode of Roadkill, where Freiburger and Dulcich will finish the suspension and hit the road to meet up with Tire Rack at an SCCA autocross!
