426 Hemi in a ’55 Chevy! Roadkill Episode 8

On this episode of Roadkill, HOT ROD’s David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan hit the road on a quest to build a car they’ve both dreamed of for years: a ’55 Chevy Bel Air sedan set up like a ’60s Gasser and powered by a Mopar 426 Hemi. The guys drag out a ’73 GMC Suburban that they’d never driven more than around the block (did you expect anything else?), then use it to pick up a bare ’55 Chevy body in California before heading north for the 1,000-mile trip to Lincoln City, Oregon. That’s the home of Jim Meyer Racing, the chassis builder that helps the guys turn the ’55 into a wicked looking hot rod in a single day. There’s no fail in this episode of Roadkill! Well, at least nothing terminal.

Burnout Fest! 2013 Shelby GT500 and 2012 Camaro ZL1 Road Trip – HOT ROD Unlimited Episode 15

On this episode of HOT ROD Unlimited, David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan hit the road in the hottest new muscle cars, the 2013 Shelby GT500 and the 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1. This isn’t a serious performance comparison, but a look at how two muscle car guys view the pros and cons of each car while thrashing them on the street and strip like you might if you really owned ’em. But you probably wouldn’t do as many burnouts and donuts as these guys, because you’d be replacing tires every week. Watch this and make the call: which car would YOU buy?
