For a true car guy there is nothing more fun than Road Kill.

Uncle Dulcich is a real badass mechanic!!

[tyronestucker]

You know what’s crazy, these two guys can work on just about anything. The always keep it real just like a regular guy would do in his garage at home. That’s what I enjoy about this show.

haha Dulcich's face when he's beating the snot out of something never gets old

My dad had one of these, I loved how the headlights covers retracted and gave a seamless grille when not in use. The luxury muscle car of its time.

I wish i could afford to buy another 68 Cougar. The most fun I've ever had driving was in my 68.
Love you guys for having one on your show.

I have wanted a '67-68 Cougar for many, many years. I absolutely love them.

To keep that pan from leaking, take a small chisel & make a continuous line from one end to the other in pan along that seal. This will make a ridge in the pan. No more leak guaranteed. Works on trans pans too.

Was always a 69 Cougar fan which is what I had in Highschool in 82, but the first gen is growing on me! Great episode! 😊

This brings back all sorts of memories about changing clutches, springs, brakes, swapping transmissions, master cylinders, and rear ends. It was great growing up as a mechanic's son. My dad taught me so much without my even knowing it.

The patina is awesome with all that goodness underneath

[troydspain]

Using the cutting torch in shorts and flip-flops ... classic Dulcich

[Brxnden]

Have 2 1967 XR7s and I’m happy to see content on them

[propdoctor]

Love the Cougar. Back in the '80s when I was in high school a friend of mine had a black '69 cougar which I always liked So this episode was fun for me

[UberLummox]

That car is a beautiful brute. The roasted paint is dreamy. Great wheel & tire choice too! Thanks for the fun video!

[leonv]

Great job on the R&D work. Beat it till
It Breaks. That will sure show the flaws. Cool how the parts went way farther up the food chain.
The last parts will take some real abuse. Makes the old Cougar look worth fixing all of it.
Years ago we bombed all over Seattle in a silver green 68 Cougar. What a cool ride! Gotta find
another some day. Good to see you guys still at it!

Dulcich was swattin' flies in that cougar comin out sideways!
