There's definitely some Fords in there (I see at least 3, plus that armored Dodge), for whatever reason. I'll give the FJ and medium-duty Toyota a pass, since it does say "Toyota Trucks" not "Hilux".

Speaking of medium-duty trucks, I ran across a '95 or so Isuzu NPR at a swap meet for $4500. It was one with the Chevy 5.7 Vortec (pre-LS), and a hydraulic dump flat bed. I was sorely tempted to get it to fulfill my pickup/towing/hauling niche. If it had a roll-back, it would have been a done deal.

God they haven't even TALKED about what they're doing to the engine. Is it a turbo? I don't remember. I'd think they have to go NA at this point, just because it doesn't seem like there's room for turbo piping, but I thought they've mentioned turbos in older videos.

I'm guessing they're not going to get crazy with power, since it's supposed to be a road car and doesn't have a cage.

I think I remember them measuring the turbo for clearance towards the start.
And they have cage mountings already in the car. :getin:

God, the best part about that picture is the fact that all that work isn't for something exotic like remote turbo or something, it's just for the alternator and A/C compressor.

I love Roadkill for what it is, but how many times have they just been "welp, don't have time to rig up charging, we're just going to swap batteries every ten miles". The shows are diametrically opposed in how they approach problems, and I love them both for it.

I really enjoyed watching Binky, but I do wonder if there wasn't an alternate way to do things. Maybe with running the drive across the front and using a custom manifold? Though in "this is a ridiculous solution" terms, I'd have been very tempted to gundrill the camshafts and run concentric shafts through them to drive the accessories. Or make a rearmount turbo system that's really an APU.

I love Binky because there is just no compromise. The negative half connector to plug the connector into on when the flip front is off? That's pro-level work. That's the kind of thing you see on weapons mounts and FLIR turrets and (other) things that are incredibly well-built, well-designed, and where money is not one of the top five motivating factors. Actual welded tabs that mate up with connector halves, all factory-like. Welded cable tie brackets instead of sticky-backs. All just gloriously intricate attention to detail that makes this a car that is easy to fix and maintain later.

Okay no, Miss Daisy was NOT parted out. The engine was returned back to the owner but the car itself resides with a MCM fan who is working remotoring Miss Daisy and making it 100% street legat
