In this episode of Roadkill, David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan embark on an exciting journey to create their dream car: a '55 Chevy Bel Air sedan styled like a '60s Gasser and equipped with a Mopar 426 Hemi. They revive a '73 GMC Suburban, which they’ve hardly used, to haul a bare '55 Chevy body from California. After that, they hit the road for a 1,000-mile trek to Lincoln City, Oregon, the workshop of Jim Meyer Racing. There, they transform the Chevy into a stunning hot rod in just one day. Nothing can go wrong in this episode—well, nothing too serious, at least!
