they said it's 22 lb not bad it looks even heand it's a one-hander so my hope is here we're going to go through a few more cars we'll have a discussion but we're going to bring up what we feel is the top three and we're going to let you guys decide who is the pit Hero by Applause how's that sound woo all right so hang tight we're getting there pretty pretty soon again if you have not made a run and you want a shot at this beautiful trophy you better come up here and get her done oh wow that's heavier than 22 a it I think that's what they told me the shipping was on [Music] it there's something wrong with it what kind of motor is that what do you have under the hood here it's a 383 Chevrolet and this car is a Ford Maverick boom Ford Maverick 383 Chevy Chevy powered he's got a narrowed rear this is very reminiscent of what you would see in Australia all right buddy floor is yours have [Music] [Applause] fun all right let's give him a round of appuse that was a nice R we get our tow rig out here please thanks to Derek here I dragged this thing out of the weeds I spent the last 3 months working my tail off day and night to make it out here and I'm here and I'm just so happy I'm making my dreams come true and it just happened right now so thank you everybody that's awesome all the [Music] RPM yeah so we're going to start we'll start uh down on the end over here you guys remember that that brown twin turbo elino oh no oh okay now you guys I'm not going to give you a lot of chances here okay we got we're up against the clock so when you cheer you got to cheer from the belly okay Brown El Camino who thinks he [Music] won oh tough crap okay Brian over here in the Pit Boss who thinks he's got [Applause] it all right okay then you've got a roods blown Viper the madman himself who thinks the Red Viper won oh that's that's close that's really close well let's let's do one more just so I can drink it all in throw me a bone The Roots blown Maverick the Chevy powered Manick who thinks he's got [Applause] it okay I think that's pretty clear congratulations the Manick wins the pit hero trophy thank you to all of the competitors they wrench they work hard at this thank all of you for coming out hanging out this was a lot of fun now remember the show's just started we've got the battle of the beaters over here so go find the seat sit down get comfortable it is hilarious and fun at the same time thanks guys appreciate it very much all right what a show that was that was so much fun uh we had all sorts of cars we had Dodge Vipers and engine swap Mavericks and pickups and Diesel Swap this and that and turbos and you name it the winner was a 383 Roots blown small blocks stuffed in a Maverick that he called the Manick and he did a really good job and it's a cool story actually he said he's a fan of ice cream Gage he's been watching the channel got inspired pulled this thing out got it running been just working hard to make it here and then he wins it's just incredible a lot of fun now we're going to go to the battle of the beaters this is for cars 5,000 and under and they'll come up and I believe Friberg and dich are going to vote first of all if your car is actually worth 5,000 or less and if you pass they'll give you a sticker you go into the lanes and then it's just elimination run after run after run and this year there's like a bogus class so if you roll up in a car that's obviously worth more than 5,000 they'll stick you in this other class it's hilarious and so fun to watch so I think we're going to go down to the staging lanes and get some drag racing [Music] AC I just going to ask how much he wants for this car my favorite part of this whole thing is I mean we probably need it right how much you want for this bad boy thousand what's under the hood just 302 what's it right 148 is the best one today okay all right let me think on it I'm GNA watch you run we'll see what happens best offer okay 4,000 OBO Tom Celica that's a Celica with hood Stacks this is the this is so fun so all of these cars come up in line and they have to convince fryberger and dich like two of the most knowledgeable Car Guys why their cars worth less than 5,000 they either call BS or you get a stick of approval and you can move forward and you can see the cars they're generally they look like it but then you get something like this okay come on now less than 5,000 I'd buy that for 5,000 right now let's go see if we could buy [Music] it how you doing yes sir we met this morning so uh you're saying this is worth less than 5,000 is that correct I 2500 okay would you take 3,000 itans too much to theing to buy the hood just because I'm dying this is like an epic old school bracket race car what in the Dr Seuss we looking at quality engineering right here really going to make the cut on the 5G we got a leaning tower of power the old slant 6 with the jungle website Turbo running into the you're still running the the stock carburetor and yes that is a so okay I have there's so many questions what kind of jets you have to put in that to even handle the boots um it's a it's a 4 318 so it it handles really no you you have to run a drill bit through it no it's terrible it will Stone together in one day out of the bushes one day and threw a turbo on it the next do you want to sell it look at the dash this this is fine corinium leather oh this crochet work he didn't want to sell it but now he's upselling it talking about wood grain wow I got to walk away this is too good this truck might be engine swap but I'm not not certain yeah maybe maybe so I can appreciate the wing on this downforce is [Music] real so this is one car that I know he'll sell for $49.95 tax included how you doing man all right run us down I heard this thing is bored but too big and you have two small Pistons yeah it's a 361 that's 150 over 150 over yeah I didn't know that was even a number you could do does it stay cool no so the two days before the event I called dolet and he gave me his wisdom and we filled the engine block with the tile grout oh you filled it okay so it's got a fill Block it's definitely not staying cool no it well it has some coolant in it you've got a brawler that was a smart move yeah well I couldn't find any good used carburetors on Marketplace or Craigslist weight reductions on your side was this r a 12 yeah runs 12 look at the spring back here oh that that's don't be stealing my speed Secrets now this is for the angle of the drive off the line this is all custom drag racing and it and it Dives the car correctly something with geometry and science nothing to do with this in here ignore that but yeah if you want to own this beautiful charger uh this is the oh this is a craigus side oh wow I'm scared to see the other side the other side is $7,000 all right so this is going to be pretty hilarious I actually talked Lucky in the entering his chel what you call Chev hell which is LS swap Pro charge four-wheel Bear all suspension and tubed and barred I love your show my name is fuel Hower I watch you all the time man you're the best bro all right so what are you going to lead off with why this is less than 5,000 um I'm gonna need your help with this BR I think I think if you had like a wish.com you throw in a couple Amazon Amazon eBay Motors eBay Motors don't mention the the Boost at all say straight be like it's a it's a two four cylinders I'm going with that he's probably going to end up in what they call a bogus class which is going to be hilarious cuz you're going to have really expensive classic cars versus 800 whe horsepower muscle car I mean I heard a rumor on the street so we're going to we're going to hear him go get roasted this is going to be [Music] [Music] awesome clearly can hear my power steing clearly you can hear my power steering pump on you right there so I did need some power steering food I want to say that right this thing's J I'll give you 5 grand for it right now lucky uh who's this L who's this lucky you talk to my name is fuel Hower and I was asking Derek where I should go to get out he said take L one all the way to the end so is the exit here somewhere who's your co-host on your show uh fuel Houser um that's Alex Taylor a CAU him uhuh all right this is luy Costa from The Hot Rod Garage show and so many other shows and so much help to us over the years why did you bother to get in line for battle the beaters with this thing uh besides the fact I miss you bro and I miss you too stepen oh wow I've never driven down the track as many times as I've been here I was curious this just has like a 62 in it and in it and then in the back something wrong with the mic sounds like it's breaking up this thing is bogus it's got a VTech LS motor in the thing what transmission to t-56 yeah transill yeah yeah transvilla transmission this thing is all hanging out lucky puts many many many miles on this car most of them with the tires smoking whoops I gave you the wrong color right there I hope I didn't do that to anybody else I might have miscategorized somebody earlier there going to be a guy the turbo end up winning in class because my do is all right lucky as we all know it's does that mean I get the drive on the track there we go yes it means you get the drive on the track but he gets the racing which is fine oh check out the [Applause] a I know [Applause] [Music] this Here Comes lucky cost on the left hand side from The Hot Rod Garage TV show lucky banging gears off the rebel Willis VTech blown LS catch him not with him missing gears it won't nope Lucky's going to go home lucky 1253 at a massive mph 123 all right as promised we're going to run easy te the Buick te type against another gbody I just had to go find another one this one back here is a mid 80s gbody obviously but it's a circle track race car this thing is fully built cage stripped it's got a V8 has that got a power glide or a 350 doesn't matter it's built to the hillt by any means necessary that car should absolutely destroy us but I thought it would be fun just for comparison V6 vers V8 naturally aspirated vers turbo we'll see what happens this looks like the vice grip garage Showdown right now I think I'm not precisely sure what's going on I think Derek is in his tea type and then he's got the Monte Carlo in the far Lane I should probably know what that car is but I don't but that is Derek in the tea type what's funny is he comes to a stop as his vour seat flops forward into the dash all right here's the match race between Derek and other guy all right other guy got the jump against Derek he better lay some boost into that thing or Derek is going to be like showing the door yeah w w sorry Derek you just got smoked by a 1385 dirt track looking thing and his v6t type went 1526 92 mph drag race did not go as expected I was hoping it was going to be a lot closer theoretically it should have ran like a a very high 13 low 14 but it did not it was a low 15 but I can't complain listen we just pulled this out of storage unit I haven't done anything to it it's bone stock the fans loved it gbody versus gbody it was really cool and now we've got something to build upon not saying this is going to be a race car but we definitely got to make it quicker well the part's about over people are filing out but listen I got to redeem myself we found a blown fuse shut down Charlotte completely obviously got that fixed I've got to go out and blow these tires off we've also got the Pit Boss I think we got a truck coming we've got another gbody race car we've got a couple folks out here for safety so we're going to have some fun put on a show while everybody leaves this is going to be pretty cool [Music] oh on [Music] [Applause] w w [Applause] [Music] wo exhaust cherry [Music] all right Charlotte redeemed herself I don't know what the blown fuse issue was but we knocked both tires off plenty of time left walked the track a lot of fun huge thank you to David fryberger for the invite all the guys here at Tucson Dragway super accommodating the party is still going if you have not been here put it on your calendars this is such an epic event thank you guys for watching thank you for the support we'll see you very [Music] soon [Music] oh
