I gotta say lemonade if ya got lemons.
Way cool watch. I do not think anyone else would do that. Or even try good job guys.
Wish Roadkill was an hour instead of 30 min.

That's Roadkill Garage. Sadly only 30 minutes.

I must be greedy Engine Masters needs to be an hour as well.
I bet way more than 30 min ends up edited out that would be a great watch on many shows.
Even the bloopers would be good

Even worse is paying to see them on Motor Trend. They only air i episode like every 5 weeks. moto trend ruined the show in my opinion.

I pay like $5 a month for the motor trend on demand deal. It is worth every single penny, it's easily the best value in automotive television. It has hundreds of shows and every single one of them is automotive content of some sort.

Roadkill, Roadkill Garage, Engine Masters, and Faster with Finnigan are my favorites.

Its better now, they release the whole season rather than 1 episode a month. Now its worth subscribing too, before it was a joke.

Roadkill Garage, Engine Masters, and Faster with Finnigan, Dirty South, Hotrod Garage are my favorites too, but only air 6-8,episoes a year, if that. I pay $2.99 month and don't want to watch car shows on how much prettier the other guys billet aluminum door handle is cooler that the others guys door handle. Roadkill is awesome and DF just bought back 'General Mayhem' from that and is planning on pulling the drivetrain out and putting the motorhome 440 back in it! Sadly, I only see that is only 2 shows a week worth viewing on that entire lineup. Worst one is Top Gear America. Seems like a show that promotes only newer foreign cars with goofy reasons to drive cars in a was to create sponsorship dollars for the channel.

I record that show most every week - Roadkill Garage ---- I wonder how Dulcich can afford that property in Cali....it appears to be located in Wine Country which is some of the most expensive property in Cali...and his neighbors tolerate the place.

My question has to do with making a fire damaged car like the Barracuda viable given that all the wiring was toast. I know it is only a 30 minute show and editing is paramount, but that car needed all new wiring and that takes time to replace.

I think he does grow grapes, may have mentioned it early on in his tenure. I'm always amazed at how much stuff he has. I have a buddy like him, always finds a way to get stuff done with what's available, makes the hobby fun.

I like that show, reminds me of earlier episodes of regular Roadkill. It still has the "not scripted" feel which I enjoy.

Liked that episode, fewer than the average cringe-worthy build details.
Probably just enough wiring to drive it, not necessarily legally.
In any case, condensing days into a half-hour, we get a small % of the story, but better than nothing !
I watch all that stuff either on TV or free streaming from being a Hagerty member.
I would bet that the out-takes are hysterical.

He said race car.
So guess he is thinking cheap bracket car.

I have motortrend on demand. I'm only interested in a few of the shows on there and once I was caught up it's not worth it for the couple times a month I watch it. I was going to dump it last year until Hagerty offered a subscription for it that I'm still running off of.

I liked Roadkill better when it first started on youtube and they were buying cheap cars and doing cheap stuff to them. Once they got into doing more expensive stuff it became less interesting. But I guess at the same time you can only go so far on the cheap.

I believe he lives in the Bakersfield area - definitely not wine country. He's got a cool spread none-the-less.

What I found online about Steve Dulcich, " The Roadkill show is hosted on Steve Dulcich grape farm. The farm is said to be a large vehicle junkyard. His garage acts as a medical center for old and rusty hot rods. The car expert wrenches them and turns them into one of the best in the game. The Roadkill Garage show also appears on Motor Trend on Demand."

Guessing that he's probably related somehow to the Dulcich family that owns

Grapes are grown all over CA, not just the Napa/Sonoma area.
His area looks like the Central Valley to me, like Bakersfield to Stockton as I remember it.
I'd guess it's not too far North from Freiburger in SoCal, so more likely the southern end.

Re: BBQuda ROADKILL - 02/28/21 03:36 PM

Dulcich's farm is outside of Bakersfield, about 125 miles south of the Napa valley, property is cheaper there...
And is closer to the great drag strip Famosa...
Note that Bakersfield is about 175 miles north of Los Angeles, Frieberger lives in Burbank which is about 10 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles..

Just my $0.02... wink

Re: BBQuda ROADKILL - 02/28/21 07:02 PM

Finnegan hates that farm, apparently when they shoot episodes out there, you have to stay out there for days on end and he's been quite vocal about not wanting to ever be stuck out there again LOL

Dulcich is about 2 1/2 hours north of the Hot Rod offices. The problem is there isn't much out where he lives in the country. Things are changing at the shop with Dulcich upgrading and fixing it up. It won't be as bad as it has been.

The man, the myth, the legend.

Where is the new Roadkill? Isn't it supposed to come out at the start of each month?

Re: BBQuda ROADKILL - 03/04/21 12:37 AM
