[@mightycarmods]

What a car, glad you're still wrenching on it! Thanks for putting some of this on KZbin so we can enjoy it in Aus!

[@ej2civicb736]

@@williamharford1136 yes also it should belong to Marty and moog 100% ownership I'm not sure how it all worked out I'm guessing motor trend footed the bill for everything and just said they could have it knowing they wouldn't try and ship it home but they should now

Dulcich is one of the coolest car dudes on the planet. He totally relates to us ordinary guys.

[@kyleparker15]

Met him few days ago. Was a great guy

[@ifgezroxy]

Dulcich is the reason I watch this mostly! Seems like awesome friend, insanely talented in wrenching and have only heard positive from people who have seen him live. I want to meet him so bad one day. But I live in Finland and distance is quite long. 😬

All your cars are so very southwest rust free clean! This impala looks ratty to so many people but dang is it nice underneath! Saw this car in person at Pontiac Michigan while on display, along with other projects and they are all so freaking rust free clean!

[@charliechristie2949]

Very nice video, Men....Thank you so much for a very down to earth approach to drag racing. Personally, I am an old retired NHRA drag racer with most of my experience with a 426 HEMI Torqueflite and a 427 / 425 Turbo 400 Biscayne. I am talking 1969-1972. Nothing but fun. You brought back some terrific memories and I thank you again !!!!!

[@northwestmountainbikeaddic6874]

The rolling burnouts are sick!! Love this build!!! It’s awesome

[@sporty196071]

Many moons ago, (1980) my neighbor got his first car 69 Caprice triple black 427 buckets/console GM exec car. He brought it over for a tune up, so I give it a performance tune and out to Woodward ave. for a real test. I start with the well known upgrade of air filter lid flip,turned out to be a very strong running car. I gave a few others a good spanking to think about. I tried everything to buy the car from him,he drove it away to college and never saw it again.

[@Rapsgarage]

I’ve had the battery do the same thing on a 74 Nova in 1984 after hitting a speed bump leaving high school. Also acid is acid not a caustic. Caustic will neutralize acid.

[@whiskeytangohotel6624]

Steve makes all his fixes look so easy.

[@afterhourshotrods6882]

If you're running anything other than solid engine mounts that BBC is just twisting the snot out of the stock column shifter linkage. And that's why you're having shift issues. And yes a floor mount shifter will correct the issue plus it's more accurate and fun to bang gears with one and it looks Kool!!!!! But you should still run solids!........ Love the Crusher Imp! Cheers.

[@shinymud7]

I had a crusher 69 impala i took out the 327 and put a corvette 427 in her. WOW what a difference… good fun show. Need more of you two guys.

[@jasoncardoza6375]

…… then you woke up?

[@carmiethompson2676]

I was relieved when David said that the supplier installed an Eaton Truetrac diff. instead of a Limp-Slip diff. or worse yet, a Locker gear set. The car is going to be quick & more controllable, i.e., more fun. Thanks for the great video guys.

[@genezeoli251]

a truetrac is a limited slip...

[@hughbarton5743]

Steve, your door handle fix might be my favorite Roadkill deal! So cool. So that's what those enormous wrenches are for....door handle adjustment tools! Who knew? If you guys ever need a carb adjustment sledgehammer, mine might still be laying around here somewhere.....

[@cvnate619ify]

That gravel to street burnout was a great test 👌

It’s cool that you’re loading some of these older episodes up to KZbin now.

I just love the rat rods, they make the greatest/coolest drag cars of all. Even when the 4-door is used for a rat rod dragger they look so bad to the bone. Save the pretty shiny 2-doors for the trailers and car shows.

[@rickcrotts6673]

My grandfather had a 4 door. I miss that car almost as much as I miss him. It was a special car to him cuz it was the first new car he ever owned and bought with cash.

[@brandonjohnston7746]

Those slot mags are some of the sexiest wheels ever made, the slot mags make any car or truck look great. They really are a fit all wheel

[@williamstamper442]

11:20s at 119 is better than I thought y'all would throw down on this episode. That's running pretty strong. I imagine the car weighs 4100 with driver? Years ago we jumped an old 67 Ford pickup with no bed over railroad tracks and tossed the battery in the fan. It looked like manatee's in Florida being cut up by a boat prop.

[@hackjobgarage9289]

If that's a TH-400 transmission in that (I'm sure it is) I would pull out the "vacuum modulator" valve, and clean it up. Either that or your "governor valve" is sticking. Either one of those will prevent a TH-400 from shifting.

Here in CA we have Govenor stuck on idiot.😂

[@TurboJohn74]

That is just SICK! Rolling Burnouts: 10/10

[@daddybiggs9343]

I like the zip tie tip. I was wondering if running 2 or 3 zip ties around the axel tube in between it and the brake line might prevent a future leak from the brake line rubbing on the axel tube. Just thinking. But then again, the next time we see this car it will be totally taken apart again. 😆

[@RastaRider]

Loved it! Really loved it. Watched it with my dad

[@chrismichaux8855]

Out of all the cars you guy have done the crusher impala is my number 1 and the vanishing paint was the second. But the vice grip guy will do good things for that car.

[@rondpert5167]

Chevelle 396. Cruising down the road, I hit the gas. 3 seconds later, explosion and smoke but the engine ran fine. The factory battery hold down let the battery tip over. the positive post laid on the valve cover and burned a hole and the spark ignited the oil fumes. Both valve cover gaskets blew out and the oil ran over the exhaust manifolds. Now I always use a safety strap.

[@angelolovato6494]

Oh wow the Impala is back

[@OzarksWildman]

I’ve definitely launched a battery into my headers before. It took out the plastic oil pressure line too and made a nice smokey mess.

[@CarswithNash]

I lost one into a fan blade once, the battery tray was so rusty it came right off it’s mounts!

That socket welded to flatbar is why I always have a set of cheap sockets and wrenches around. I don't care if I take a grinder or welder to pittsburgh tools.

[@P71ScrewHead]

i was expecting much more power for such a big engine but him putting the bigger pulley on top caused the supercharger to spin slower n give less boost which equals less power, but them never ending burnouts is what i'm after on my 2v..lol

[@Tommy_Mac]

Love the car! However, using plastic zip ties on brake lines is so rookie. Even Horror Freight sells metal zip ties. They won't deteriorate from exposure, melt and fail. Put a bit of paint on the metal ties and they are a rugged solution. Proper brackets are the best way.
