In the 100th milestone episode of Roadkill Garage, the MotorTrend Channel crew embarks on a thrilling family road trip to the Hot Rod Magazine Power Tour at Atlanta Speedway. Their trusty red duster, now powered by a robust 5.9 L Magnum V8 engine, undergoes essential upgrades like a Hemi fourspeed and a shortened 8 and 3/4 rear end. Despite facing challenges such as leaking master cylinders and shock absorbers, the team dives headfirst into the adrenaline-fueled world of car modifications.
With a blend of determination and humor, the team tackles the issues plaguing their beloved duster, from bench bleeding the master cylinder to installing power steering stop leak. As they navigate the Power Tour's bustling crowds and high-speed autocross events, the duster's unique character shines through, drawing attention and admiration from fellow car enthusiasts. Despite the car's quirks and imperfections, the team's passion for automotive adventure remains unwavering.
Amidst the chaos of fixing floor holes and addressing a smoking clutch, the team's camaraderie and dedication to their craft are truly commendable. From strategic parking lot wrenching sessions to heart-pounding autocross runs, the team's journey is a testament to the unbreakable bond between man and machine. As they push the limits of the duster on the track, each twist and turn reveals the car's true spirit, embodying the essence of automotive passion and the thrill of the open road.
