Video Roadkill builds crazy cheap 1968 Dodge Charger rat rod using an old motorhome

Certain requests for description simply cannot be fulfilled, like if someone asked you to describe Picassos Guernica or Gilliams Brazil. There is only one appropriate answer to such entreaties, and that is: "You just gotta see it." Thats where we are with the latest episode of Roadkill, wherein Messrs Freiburger and Finnegan dig out a 1968 Dodge Charger that Freiburger acquired in exchange for a set of cylinder heads, and intend to stuff it with the big-block motor from a long-bed, three-quarter ton Dodge pickup.

Only the pickup is too nice to tear apart, and the Charger needs a whole lot more lovin â€" and parts â€" than initially expected. Enter, stage right, the Class A Dodge Pace Arrow motorhome with a 440 big-block purchased for $1,000, and a retired Plymouth Fury from a previous episode.

What ensues over the course of the 40-minute installment is more cuttin, yankin, leakin, stallin, hammerin and smokin action than youve seen in a long time, and some techniques that would have made even Cooter wonder, "Im not sure if we should do that." By the end, though, the payoff is good enough to make you think about perusing AutoTrader for a 68 Charger just to see if maybe...

And still, we havent properly described it, so have a watch of the video below.
