Can the '56 Chevy Field Car Run 11s at Samoa Drag Strip? | Roadkill Garage

[@Nate-oh1wg]

I love Dulcich. Just seeing him around makes me smile. Him and Freiburger are great energy. 🤙

[@RaymondFrazee]

Thanks for the crumbs MT.

[@dudleykirkpatrick2734]

its fantastic not being able to watch full episodes in australia and being teased with crappy clips

[@killerbski9412]

I wonder if the red MSD box dangling by its own wires under the dash have anything to do with the “ignition” problems

[@jakesimpson64]

Man, imagine if I, an Australian, could pay a certain amount per month like I used to to watch the full episode. Unfortunately, there's no way this could possibly happen. Thanks Rupert Murdoch.

[@michaelatkin2562]

What did Rupert do? Also would like to watch full episodes

Get yourself a VPN, That’s how I subscribe to the channel.

[@davidgalea6113]

Yeah...those bloody yanks and their foreign policies.😂 I too was once a paid subscriber.

[@jayterry8551]

Simply move here. Mexicans are already here so we have decent food now.

[@dudleykirkpatrick2734]

tried that but it realises if the payment comes from outside america@@theworkshopmechanicchannel3296

Working on cars in sandals always cracks me up !

[@kurlyq2gbike]

He's my spirit animal. Shorts, t shirt, sandals and high octane cologne

[@timothyryan2847]

Safety sandals

[@Peterbiltwheelman]

I don't think I've ever seen shoes on his feet 😂

[@puddleduckist]

Yep it's Frieburger's signature! Sleeper dude here on u tube does tge same thing always wearing thong sandals....flirting with disaster living on the edge..hot rod glory!

[@user-ux7yp1ej9k]

Pay attention to what you are doing. Situational awareness. The opposite of accident prone. Jesus was a carpenter and he wore sandles. PPE SUCKS!!

[@rtelles1127]

Looking forward to getting my 56 two ten going this summer! I've had it since 1977 my first car.😊

[@tomp1612]

I am no fan of hydraulic clutches but a huge fan of Samoa Drag Strip. It's a very cool place, even in summer they get that cool breeze

[@vrm86gt]

I got to get up there this year now that Sacramento raceway is closed down, pretty long haul for me but definitely want to check it out!

[@a4000t]

MSD box hinging by the wires swinging in the wind.😆

[@chuck_machine]

Samoa's a great track. Was just there last fall for the Redwood Rally. Will be back this year again!

[@thebees4371]

I've seen these guys do some sketchy stuff, but being under that cat with no locking tabs is just dumb.

[@markmixon1121]

Frieburger keeping " ol dads " memory alive with the shorts and flip-flops. Now let's drink some clear.

[@peted5217]

Grey was a card ! Great old skool icon taken from us faithful without our permission.

[@thomasspillner6086]

CONGRATES !!! YOU PRONOUNCED LOMPOC CORRECTTLY!!!!!

[@barryhickman6911]

I L O V E a 56 Chevy! Love watching you guys!

[@codywhitehead2810]

please fix those locks. One thing that bothers me at shops is lift safety

[@leonardfoster6252]

If the drive shaft is too short on the engagement to the trans output shaft it will twist the splines on the shaft...

[@danielvess1780]

We have a strip up here in Redding Ca. Cool April Nights is a fun event that will be coming up. Would be cool to see all up here sometime.

[@fullmoonfool]

You heard him he wants to hit every track in california. I was just watching along when he mentioned being in Lompoc and it blew me away because I have only heard that name mentioned may be once in the 50 years Ive been away from good ole Lompoc which was a lot like the movie American Gravity back in my day . There was a hand full or two of some nice rides and rods. Cruisin was about all there was other than your sports teams , And the weekend hops at the Legion. Sadly no dragstrip the nearest was in Santa Maria some (Im guessing) what 40 50 miles away. Was not a bad place to live and go to school though, I have some great memories and a few friends left out there and here I am now returning there with my favorite online friends. How about that!!!

[@brycemorgan2381]

Dang I missed out. Thats my home town track!!!!!! Samoa drag in good old Humboldt County

[@glennsouthard9208]

I’ve been eyeballing a move up there from the Bay Area. Took a trip up last November and was happy to see a number of nice classics cruising. And of course I drove out to Somoa to check out the track.

[@brycemorgan2381]

@glennsouthard9208 its an amazing place we got out down falls like any other place.

[@lloydprunier4415]

My first car was '56 Belaire 2dr sedan. Brings back many good memories. Started with a 235 inline six and stuck in a set of solid lifters on the stock cam. Running the old 3 speed and 3.70 rear gears It would run low 16s all day. Later went to 301 and then 327 but just drove it on the street then. Can't remember how many synchronizers and spider gears I destroyed. Would do it all over again!

[@scottdean4117]

I seen where dulcich was using a red aluminum valve spring compressor would like to know where you got that love your show keep it up

[@JohnUnit]

amazing shifting until he missed 4th. love it.

[@chevelle5014]

That looks like a fun car to drive!!!

[@user-sh6pm2iw8v]

Burger and dolce are absolute Gods... Good work brothers

[@cmcb7230]

I want to see this vs blashemi vs newberns 57!!

[@rtelles1127]

I want to see blasphemi vs. 15:00 Newberns 57 vs. Frieburgers 56

[@michaelcederquist6180]

Blasphemi is running 8s at the track. I doubt either of the other two stand much of a chance.

[@yosemite-e2v]

I hope you guys had lunch or dinner at the Samoa Cookhouse. I'm assuming that it still has good food, but it's been many years since I've eaten there. I always thought that I'd be able to run my '67 Camaro at Samoa, but it never happened.

[@-PLAYER0NE-]

This is awesome! My hometown track!

[@greenfuzz13]

Good to know Samoa is still operating.

[@frfrpr]

These guys are my heroes

[@willrector9716]

That's my local strip!

[@FreedomRock44]

Awesome Job Boys!!!!! Freiburger was awesome just seeing the field car FLYYYY!!!!!!!

[@paul707.7]

If im see things right that soma out here i. Humbold,ca just out side of erueka ,ca

[@chuck_machine]

You mean just like it states in the video title?

[@PHILLY214]

I love this build…it’s so 60s drag it’s amazing like a super stock manual or sum !

[@kanakamaoli9642]

David, I raced 55 Chevy back in the late 80's, at Hawaii Raceway Park. All I had was a 327 a mincie 4 speed a gigantic 55 Oldsmobile rear end with 410 gears welded spiders and Axle front end. I'd launch off the line at 6000 rpm. Believe me, you will test your parts, but I ran mid to low 10s. You gotta work up the nerve to pound the gears...balls to the walls.

[@codycollins4708]

That's my local drag strip! Got damnit I wish I would have known

[@jims6323]

I applaud you for building a car with 3 pedals!

[@davidgalea6113]

That's why I loved the cougar..it had a 4 speed and wasn't the usuall chevy content.

[@user-ji7xi4sh6q]

Awesome 56 I watch every single video keep the videos coming

[@matismf]

Water might not burn, but moisture in the air increases the mass flow through the carburetor venturi and enriches the mixture.

[@steveemm9245]

Great episode it was too short but better than nothing,you guys are awesome nice little 56 hope you take it out and play with it some more, i hate that style of throw out berring

[@robertgoulet1961]

One thing about those bronze puck type clutch disks it really helps if you seat them in before you go to the track otherwise they just don't work that well, also definitely had that same problem like you guys with the throw out bearing. Yeah it definitely blows chunks when that happens at the track😢

[@Airsally]

Good stuff! Enjoyed that one.

[@mikepoint4717]

Love those tri-5’s

[@josephbabic4823]

She sounds awesome screaming down the track!!!

[@mmike76]

You need to mic the bell housing to make sure its square with the block and centered with the transmission, any thing that is out of line will toast that throw out bearing. That is their Achilles heel.

[@keltenchyz4299]

Dave beating himself up over miasing 4th 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@martinmartinez6782]

Awesome Ride!!

[@dogbuggy32]

Man too much fun

[@johnsartelle8320]

So you measured wrong the first time ? Or you didn't check at all ? It's still fun watching you Goobers. 😅

[@davidaxman]

That car sound great!

[@indyme2]

Great video, guys!

[@HomeImprovementInsider]

Sounds great!

[@hustleman3548]

Hey GM roadkill I enjoy the show u host I love video so cool nice and good one great job in a bless day

[@markmccabe934]

Why didn't I see spacers when you took out the old throw out bearing?

[@alexgwaltney7324]

live these videos

[@propdoctor21564]

Love the field car 👍👍

[@randyault]

Each time my brother's 56 would pull into the garage our dad said the tools would hide

[@AlanPolley]

Fix your drive shaft Pinon angle the drive shaft would be long enough

[@CarsandCats]

1) Tighten compression on rear shocks 2) Loosen rebound on front shocks 3) PUSH IN THE CLUTCH at the end of a run so you don't stretch the rod bolts!

[@paul707.7]

My land lord james throws drag bike race there.

[@SeanCrowley-ks1mu]

Take the blower from the Impala and stick it on this !!!!!

[@johnjones2653]

What mufflers are on that thing? Sounds great!!!

[@motocrossriders2002]

Sounds like open headers, to me...

[@user-co3ul8sq4j]

better use outer slave cylinder or cable ones no problems there

[@user-pb3wm3dq7t]

Very nice

[@mrshifter8220]

No thanks, just will stick with the old school fork setup............

[@jameseastwood4984]

Just thinking the same, I think that's put me off that system. No push rod to adjust.

[@YARDAX]

Isn't hymid air more dense? I thought water injection was a thing?

[@JoshuaFare]

Water injection is usually to help prevent detonation

[@Taydrum]

Humid air is LESS dense. Water injection lowers temperatures to make the air MORE dense

[@daves_not_here_mannn]

Hymid?

[@alertgasper]

i'm sure they're rushed for time and on whoever's schedule that hands them free parts...but...you got the car on a lift, tools a'plenty, and when faced with a driveshaft yoke that is obviously ready to go (and may damage the transmission as well), the plan is to ignore the problem and fix it at a more inconvenient time and location? i hear my late father's voice warning, "the best way to solve any problem is to not allow it to happen in the first place". the funny part is how often Roadkill had to insist, "we don't make up the drama"

[@user-wt7rh2rw8g]

What is exsacly wise😊?

[@Wayne_987]

What's the chances they broke in the clutch?

[@davidmeeker7481]

Ceramic is great at the expense of flywheel wear.

[@wreckanchor]

WHich McLeoud clutch did you use?

[@leonardfoster6252]

Look like it has plenty of clearance between the yoke and trans, needs 1" of travel only...

[@ardennielsen3761]

haven't seen you guys do a 3/4 1 ton 16 bolt 4 link swap on a car? 9''ers only have 1_1/4 shafts a bandaid to the 8.8's upgraded 7.5, dana's got the 1_5/8.

[@phillipthethird42]

My question is ; where did ya go wrong with the first throw out bearing ? Did you have the wrong number of shims , or got the wrong measurement the first time, or is that bearing prone to hyper extension ?

[@perryneum]

Wrong bearing, somehow. Whoever did the measuring either got their numbers wrong, or overestimated the bearing's capacity for extension.

[@mikelyon5595]

Cool ride: Now, put on some shoes!

[@hiesenburg669]

David I have to ask why nobody in the big money car community is helping your friend Steve out????

[@AtomicDog58]

I have a big block Chevy Can anyone tell me what the suffix code C6Z means I can't find it in these code books

[@INFANTRY1981]

Needs a bit of paint. IMHO, sometimes " less is more" just doesn't work - sometimes. How about a home garage DIY paint job on your deserving car...

[@ThePeninsulaRailfan]

#noPaint

[@phoenixarizona8441]

Race the 56 vs Blasphemi

[@cogboy302]

Working under a car on a lift without functional locking tabs is not exactly wise.

[@peted5217]

They had jackstands (off camera)

[@kenengland3700]

About like working in flip flops.

[@T-bone1950]

Have you never seen ROADKILL before ?

[@300whiteout9]

They do actually have a structure bar you can see.

[@1080sucks]

How do you miss 4th........Contact D Freiberger

[@leonardfoster6252]

You must have a hydraulic throw out bearing?

[@davidgalea6113]

The are not worth the trouble and a headache to replace. The best is a mechanical/cable fork setup 2nd best is an externally mounted slave that actuates the fork. Those two options are much easier to fix if something goes wrong.

[@georgewilson9121]

the reaso0n you ywisted the inner teeth on the drive shaft ix because its too short how you didnt snap it doing passes i dint know but dragging with driveshaft like that is dicey at best dicey

[@leonardfoster6252]

Yoke must be too long.

[@chancefaria928]

That bouncing off the Lind and most of the way down the track probably didn't help your time either.

[@user-pb3wm3dq7t]

Love it

[@onearm5827]

i would give my left arm for that car

[@andrewmarshall360]

I need a Guinea pig ?

[@vickypratamaputra4363]

1957 Chevrolet Bel Air

[@user-mc9om5di1f]

I'm sure that if you get the right outside help it will run 11s on a 1\8th mile track.

[@bobbaker9545]

SOME..REALLY BAD SHIFTING, NO POWER SHIFTS, NO COOL CAN IN ON A HOT DAY. MIGHT WANT TO LEARN HOW TO SHIFT..'CALL RONNIE SOX!!! LOL

[@andrewmarshall360]

I wish

[@andrewmarshall360]

Sophisticated ?

[@rcadd1ct]

That was an expensive episode. Next one they were pulling the engine……..

[@scotthalvorson1493]

Cheated up intake bolts letting air like nascar

[@billyquaid3048]

I'm not a mechanic and this is a serious question why don't they just make the grooves or the teeth bigger so they don't bend or just make the whole block made out of tungsten Steel LOL

[@steveemm9245]

The smaller splines are actually stronger because there is more of them which means more surface area more contact area

[@user-wt7rh2rw8g]

If you type too much and break a nail,that's not wise either 😊

[@zairomolino4074]

55 are faster

[@andrewmarshall360]

Knick nacs

[@davidgalea6113]

So many hyd throwout bearings are garbage.. and a headache to replace. mechanical fork or a fork with an external hydraulic actuator is a far better system.

[@alyouresocool]

Rookie mistake - You have to Preheat the oven or stuff will burn.

[@leonardfoster6252]

If the car ran around 125, it should go around 11.20 et. There...

[@muscfiorentina]

I would NEVER let Freiburger near a car I was building
