My god! What happened with his teeth? Did he have them whitened or are those really poorly fitting dentures? He looks like a Parrotfish.


'67 is an abbreviation of 1967
67' is an abbreviation of 67 feet
They are not interchangeable.

I hope the YouTube channel does well for Steve. I also would like to see a YouTube Steve feature on that white 1970 Crop Duster big block that Steve built including the body and paint work.

Needs more interior, but I'd drive it like that. Bet it's noisy as heck in person!

I believe that is actually Freiburger's car. They have several episodes about it on Roadkill Garage but some people think the $60 a year price is insane and don't subscribe. It's well worth the price to me.

Agree, the fake teeth are really distracting, but eventually I got used to them.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who feels this way. I had just watched an old episode of RK Garage, then flipped over to a new episode of Engine Masters, and I was like eek [censored]? They just plain don't look right and I'm not talkin' the whiteness. You gotta wonder how bad his originals were if these are an improvement. shake_head

Yup, that’s me. I won’t pay more than the $2 monthly subscription for 6 months and then cancel. Why? Because Motortrend changed the show line up for all the ones I like and they don’t air for 1/2 a year. I save all my nickels, been a fan since episode 5. That beeper donor car sat in a friends back yard for soo many years and was worth every penny payed for, even with a bent axle. Hopefully I’ll have my own ‘roadkill’ car someday. Still, they are more entertains than most on the Internet shows.

I agree about the teeth.. it also looks like his cheeks are pushed out. Did the dentist mess up his jaw or was this filmed right after the teeth upgrade? Otherwise I do like watching his and Freiberger's shows, very knowledgeable and bare bones. They keep the cars as they should be.

Is it just me or do any of the cars they use(or have) for the TV shows have interiors? Re bodied, rusted roof, trashed 1/4 panel and i really like the zip tied MSD box. I think they should put on one of those disclaimers about "don't do this at home" on all the road kill shows. Watched the "C body road runner"(hit a telephone pole) episode last night and couldn't believe they drove it on the street (with other traffic). realcrazy shake_head

grin That's the human equivalent of putting new show-quality chrome bumpers on say, that car. They REALLY "pop".

Love it! I traded a buddy an engine for this '69. The only good body was the new 1/4 skins. The interior was junk, rest of the sheet metal was junk. Lot of missing stuff. I had a good 440 4 speed to put in it. Did 5 years of horse trading and deal making. Did 98% of the work myself. Had more fun with that car than any other in years. I drove it to The Nats, had restored the dash, had found a deal on a set of recovered '70 High Backs, but no carpet, headliner, door panels, was noisy, but it was a blast. Lost it in a garage fire.

Steve's narration is superb - the dead panning and his non emotional descriptions are just so funny --- He should have his own show on MotorTrend ... his observations about the car and the road ("I don't know who would put those two black stripes on this road"...) are icing on the cake ....

I want that Crop Duster !

You think so?
I like the guy but in my opinion, his solo videos come across as awkward. He comes across better when he interacts with someone else.

Agreed. Steve is a very smart guy, but socially awkward. I've always wondered, if his hands were tied to his sides, would he be able to talk?
