Noah has his hands full modifying a 1957 Chevy Bel Air for a married couple with two separate visions. And a mystery client that they've never met has high demands for turning a '69 Camaro into a luxury ride.

**
SO I'M MEETING
WITH CHARLIE TODAY,
WHO DRIVES LIKE
A WILD MAN, LIVES FAST,
AND HE'S BRINGING
IN A '57 CHEVY BEL AIR.
THINGS SHOULD GET INTERESTING.
WHAT'S GOING ON, CHARLIE?
HOW ARE YOU DOING?
GOOD.
HOW ARE YOU?
DOING DAMN GOOD.
GOOD TO SEE YOU.
GOOD TO SEE YOU TOO.
TELL ME ABOUT THE CAR.
WE BOUGHT IT FROM
A CAR GALLERY
DOWN THE STREET HERE
IN ST. LOUIS.
WE WERE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING
THAT HAD HERITAGE TO IT.
A PERSON ACTUALLY CRAFTED IT
WITH THEIR HANDS.
IT'S GOT THIS DESIGN,
THIS POWER BEHIND IT
THAT YOU KIND OF LOSE
WITH NEWER AUTOMOBILES.
LOOKS LIKE A NICE NEW
ORIGINAL CAR.
I THINK WE'VE GOT
A REALLY GOOD STARTING POINT.
THE '57 CHEVY IS AN ICONIC CAR.
ITS ALWAYS BEEN VERY POPULAR
SINCE THEY WERE RELEASED.
A LOT OF CUSTOMS,
A LOT OF ORIGINALS.
PEOPLE ABSOLUTELY LOVE
THESE THINGS.
THESE CARS HAVE BEEN EVERYTHING
FROM FAMILY CARS, TO DRAGSTERS.
SO WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING TO DO
WITH THE CAR?
WHAT KIND OF DIRECTION
DO YOU WANT TO TAKE IT IN?
WHAT DON'T WE WANT
TO DO WITH IT?
I LIKE WHERE WE'RE GOING!
THE CAR IS BLACK.
ALL THE CARS THAT WE HAVE
IN OUR COLLECTION...
IT'S GOT TO BE BLACK.
ALL BLACK EVERYTHING.
EVERYTHING IS BLACK.
WE DO HAVE A LITTLE GOLD
FLAVOR GOING ON HERE THOUGH.
GOLD IS KEY.
YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE THE GOLD.
SO WHAT IF WE PAINTED
THE ENTIRE THING IN GOLD?
I THINK WE NEED TO LOAD IT
BACK UP
ON THE TRAILER AND LEAVE.
ALL RIGHT.
FROM AN EXTERIOR STANDPOINT,
WHEN YOU WALK UP TO THIS CAR,
IT'S GOT TO FLASH.
I WANT TO SEE LENS FLARES
WHEN I'M LOOKING AT THIS THING.
SO IN TERMS
OF OVERALL STYLING,
I KNOW WHAT YOU LIKE WHAT'S
GOING ON FOR THE MOST PART.
IT'S GOT ALL THE BEAUTY.
IT'S GOT EVERYTHING YOU WANT
IN A CLASSIC CAR,
BUT IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE.
AND HOW IS IT THAT
YOU WANT TO DRIVE?
I WANT TO DRIVE LIKE
I'M HAULING ASS ALL THE TIME.
LET'S TALK ABOUT THE ENGINE.
YES.
I KIND OF WANT TO SCARE
THE **** OUT OF YOU.
OLD SCHOOL, SMALL BLOCK.
MAKES THEM HIGH HORSEPOWER.
THAT'S GOOD.
I LIKE BEING SCARED.
RIGHT.
NEEDS TO BE AUTOMATIC BECAUSE
I NEED TO FOCUS MORE ON MY WIFE
THAN ACTUALLY SHIFTING GEARS.
YOU'VE GOT TO KEEP HER HAPPY.
I'VE GOT TO TAKE CARE OF HER.
I LIKE WHERE
YOU'RE GOING THERE.
IT NEEDS TO BE FUN
AND AGGRESSIVE,
AND KIND OF THAT THROWBACK.
YET IT NEEDS TO HAVE
ENOUGH MODERN TOUCHES.
I THINK WE CAN LOWER
THIS THING DOWN TO THE GROUND
AND GIVE IT A BADASS STANCE.
I'VE GOT A COUPLE GOOD IDEAS
FOR WHEEL AND TIRE PACKAGES
THAT I THINK IS GOING TO REALLY
MAKE THIS THING POP.
OKAY.
IT'LL GIVE YOU SOME CRAZY
SPEED AND WAY BETTER
PERFORMANCE.
A LOT BETTER SUSPENSION,
AND I THINK
WE CAN DO SOME WORK
ON THE STYLING
WITHOUT KILLING IT TOO MUCH.
IT'LL BE A TIRE BURNING HOT ROD.
IT'S GOING TO BE A BADASS.
I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO LIKE
THE DIRECTION WE TAKE IT IN.
NOTHING MATTERS EXCEPT
FOR THE MOMENT
THAT YOU'RE IN RIGHT THERE,
AND HOW HARD YOU PUSH DOWN
ON THAT GAS PEDAL.
THANKS FOR COMING IN.
I APPRECIATE IT.
THANK YOU SIR.
BYE-BYE BABY.
LOOKING FORWARD TO WORKING
ON IT.
**
A '57 CHEVY.
THIS RIGHT HERE ****.
THIS RIGHT HERE
IS AMERICA'S HOT ROD.
THERE YOU GO.
SO I KNOW WE'VE GOT
TO DO
SOME CUSTOM **** TO THIS.
SO AFTER I MEET WITH THE CLIENT,
I TYPICALLY LIKE TO MEET
WITH CHARLES OR GM
AND SCOTT, MY LEAD FABRICATOR,
COME UP
WITH A GOOD PLAN TOGETHER.
YOU TALKED TO THE OWNER.
YEAH, WHAT DOES HE WANT?
POWER STEERING,
POWER BRAKES, BIG BRAKES.
HE WANTS AIR CONDITIONING,
WE'LL GIVE HIM THAT.
ALL RIGHT.
HE WANTS SOMETHING THAT
HE'S GOING TO DRIVE EVERYWHERE.
HE'LL DRIVE IT EVERY DAMN DAY.
HE LIKES THE ORIGINAL
'57 CHEVY LOOK.
HE DRIVES AROUND LIKE
A FREAKING MANIAC, A NUT.
AND HE KEEPS BLOWING UP MOTORS.
HE'S BEEN THROUGH I THINK THREE
ENGINES, AND TWO TRANSMISSIONS.
I WANT TO HEAR
YOUR FIRST BAD IDEA.
'57 CHEVY WITH A CANDY LACE
MEXICAN ROOF DANGLE BERRIES.
TURN IT INTO A HOPPER.
DAYTON WIRE WHEELS.
DAYTONS?
HOW BIG OF A BURRITO
DID YOU EAT FOR LUNCH?
HE DID SAY HE LIKES GOLD.
I THINK WE DO PROBABLY
GOLD WHEELS.
GOLD ENGINE?
GOLD ENGINE?
THAT'S ONE OF THE MOST
ICONIC CLASSIC CARS EVER BUILT.
SO YOU CAN'T REALLY GO WRONG
WITH THE '57 CHEVY BEL AIR.
THE HURDLE BECOMES, HOW DO
WE MAKE THIS CAR DIFFERENT?
AND NOT LOOK LIKE
EVERYBODY ELSE'S '57 CHEVY?
I THINK WE BUILT THEM
QUASI PRO TOURING CAR.
YOU DRIVE IT ALL OVER THE PLACE.
OVERDRIVE TRANSMISSION,
BADASS REAR END.
MAKE IT JUST SO THAT
HE CAN'T BREAK IT.
WE'LL GET HIM A CRATE MOTOR
WITH A WARRANTY,
WITH HIGH HORSEPOWER.
SOMETHING THAT HE COULD THRASH.
SO WE'RE GOING TO DO
A 383 STROKER,
OVER 500 HORSEPOWER,
AN OVERDRIVE TRANSMISSION,
AND A FABRICATED 9-INCH
REAR END.
THIS THING IS GOING TO BE
FREAKING STOUT.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S TALK
ABOUT THE SUSPENSION.
CAN WE HAMMER IT SOMEHOW?
HAMMER IT DOWN.
LET'S HAMMER IT DOWN
LIKE ROUND.
WHAT KIND OF WHEELS?
BIG WHEELS?
LITTLE WHEELS?
18" WHEELS?
LIKE MAGNESIUM STYLE.
YOU KNOW, WITH MODERN STYLING
BUT WITH THE YESTERDAY'S
TECHNOLOGY OF
THE DAHL 7 MAGNESIUM
STYLE WHEEL.
I THINK IT WOULD
BE REALLY BITCH.
WE'RE GOING INTERIOR?
WELL AT THE MOMENT
HE'S GOT SHIPPING BLANKET
AND NO REAR SEAT.
IT LOOKS LIKE RATS
HAVE BEEN LIVING BACK THERE.
HE WANTS
A CLASSIC STYLE INTERIOR.
STOCK INTERIOR?
SO WE NEED TO RECREATE
THE INTERIOR IN THIS CAR
SO IT LOOKS EXACTLY
LIKE IT DID IN 1957.
TIME CAPSULE.
ALL BRAND NEW.
ALL STOCK.
ALL STOCK.
WE SHOULD ALSO PROBABLY
UPGRADE THE SOUND SYSTEM
WITH SOME NEW MODERN COMPONENTS.
YES.
A PROBLEM WITH THAT TOO?
STOP SCRATCHING YOUR HEAD.
WHY ARE YOU
SCRATCHING YOUR HEAD?
ARE YOU NERVOUS?
GOT LICE?
YEAH, WHAT'S WRONG?
I'M GETTING READY
TO FREAK OUT.
YOU GUYS ARE GETTING
IN MY BUBBLE.
I THINK WE CAN GIVE IT
A UNIQUE LOOK.
IT'LL FINE.
IT'S GOING TO BE A GOOD CAR.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO.
COME ON.
GET HIM. GET HIM.
UNH!
[ LAUGHING ]
**
ALL RIGHT, SO HOW ARE WE DOING?
SEATBELT'S OUT, CARPETING,
AND THAT REAR PACKAGE TRAY.
CHARLIE WANTS AN ORIGINAL
LOOKING INTERIOR
BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN WE ARE
GOING TO KEEP WHAT'S IN THERE.
SO WE'RE GOING TO TEAR IT DOWN
AND START WITH A CLEAN SLATE.
'57 OE FLOOR PANS.
THAT'S SOME GOOD ASS VELCRO.
THAT'S SOME CUSTOM ****.
THERE WE GO.
AND LOOKS LIKE SOME OLD UNDIES
OR SOMETHING DOWN THERE.
YEAH, WHO KNOWS?
THAT MIGHT BE GRANNY PANTIES.
LOOK AT THESE
ANCIENT GRILLS, MAN.
COME ON MAN,
PULL THOSE GRANNY PANTIES OUT.
TOLD YOU I WASN'T
TOUCHING THOSE.
COME ON, YOU'LL TOUCH THEM.
NOPE.
AAH!
HEY, DUSTIN.
THERE'S YOUR GRANNY PANTIES.
AAH!
AN OLD T-SHIRT, LOOKS LIKE.
I HOPE.
LOOK AT THAT.
A MOUSE HOUSE.
- THERE'S A DEAD ONE.
- OH, MAN.
I'M NOT TOUCHING THAT.
WHEN WE'RE TEARING DOWN A CAR,
WE USUALLY EXPECT TO FIND
SOME NASTY OLD FOAM,
BAD WIRING, JUST STUFF
THAT'S KIND OF DETERIORATING.
WHAT WE DON'T EXPECT
TO FIND ARE DEAD RODENTS
AND OLD GRANNY PANTIES.
I HOPE THIS ISN'T A SIGN
OF THINGS TO COME.
I BETTER NOT.
THIS IS A CUSTOMER'S CAR.
IT AIN'T OUR CAR.
IT'S ALL RIGHT.
IT CAME WITH IT, MAN.
IT'S HIS DEAD RAT, NOT YOURS.
WELL, HERE.
**
WHAT'S UP?
GOT A BIG BOX FOR YOU.
THIS IS CHARLIE'S NEW ENGINE.
SO CHARLIE'S ENGINE
JUST CAME IN.
IT'S A RIP ROARING 383 STROKER.
COMES WITH A WARRANTY,
WHICH IS GOOD FOR HIM.
WE'RE GOING TO PUT THIS SUCKER
IN AND SEE HOW IT RUNS.
THIS IS GOING TO BE
PRETTY GOOD.
383 STROKER, PROBABLY GOT
450 HORSEPOWER, I'M THINKING.
I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE
THE PERFECT BALANCE
OF POWER AND RELIABILITY
FOR THE GUY
WHO HAS A HORRIBLE HISTORY
FOR BLOWING UP MOTORS.
FIRST WE'VE GOT
TO PAINT IT GOLD.
PAINT IT GOLD?
HE WANTS EVERYTHING GOLD.
I FIGURED WE CAN DO
THE ENGINE GOLD.
THAT'S AN EASY ONE.
WHEN CHARLIE POPS OPEN
THAT HOOD, I WANT A SEA OF BLACK
WITH A BIG HUNK
OF GOLD IN THE MIDDLE.
IF CHARLIE WANTS
MORE GOLD ON HIS CAR,
WE'RE GIVING CHARLIE MORE GOLD.
IT'LL LOOK GOOD.
BLACK ENGINE COMPARTMENT,
GLOWING GOLD ENGINE.
HE'LL LOVE IT.
LET'S GET THE ENGINE STAND.
GET THIS THING LOADED UP,
SENT OVER TO JASON.
**
WE HAVE A FACTORY SEAT
FOR A 1957 CHEVY.
WE'VE HAD A COUPLE
OF FRIENDS IN HERE.
MICE OVER HERE MADE
A LITTLE CONDO.
THIS COULD PROBABLY BE THE LAST
PERSON THAT WAS IN THE TRUNK.
OH, MY GOD.
YOU GOT SOMETHING YOU
WANT TO TELL ME?
NO.
I'M PRETTY SURE THIS THING
COULD QUALIFY AS A BIO-HAZARD.
WE'LL GET RID OF ALL THIS
STUFF THAT'S CORRODED
OR JUST NASTY SMELLING.
THE SPRINGS ARE STILL IN TACT.
I'LL GO AHEAD AND PUT
SOME NEW FOAM ON IT.
PUT SOME FOAM OVER THE TOP.
SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN. THE BIGGEST
THING WITH THIS INTERIOR
IS A RETRO LOOK,
LIKE A TIME CAPSULE INTERIOR.
ALL NEW STUFF OF COURSE.
OKAY.
IF YOU FEEL YOURSELF
START ITCHING, WE KNOW WHY.
STAY AWAY FROM ME.
IT'S GOT FLEAS?
I DON'T HAVE TIME
TO GET FLEAS AGAIN.
OH, NO.
ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU.
IT'S LIKE A BOWL OF CEREAL
IN HERE, MAN.
CAP'N CRUNCH.
THIS IS FOAM.
NO SPRING LEFT IN THAT.
[LAUGHS]
SO WE'LL GET RID OF ALL
THIS OTHER STUFF, CLEAN IT UP.
WE'LL ADD SOME NEW FOAM,
AND THAT'S ACTUALLY PART
OF YOUR NEW CAR SMELL,
WHICH WOULD BE THE FOAM.
JUST USE THIS LAYER HERE
TO KIND OF COVER THE SPRINGS.
KEEP IT FROM DIGGING
INTO THE REAL FOAM.
THIS IS MORE OF THE FOAM THAT
YOU'RE GOING TO BE SITTING ON.
AND THEN WE'LL HAVE A TOP LAYER
WHICH WILL TAKE
ALL THE HARD EDGES
OFF THE FOAM UNDERNEATH
AND GIVE YOU MORE OF YOUR SHAPE.
REAL CLOSE TO WHAT
THEY HAD BACK IN 1957.
IT'S GOING TO BE SO MUCH BETTER
WITHOUT THE MOUSE POO IN IT.
**
SO GUESS WHY WE'RE HERE?
WE'RE GOING TO TURN
THIS INTO A TRIUMPH.
WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING
TO FINISH THIS CAR.
OH WE ARE?
SO THE '69 CAMARO HAS
A PRETTY INTERESTING STORY.
I HAD THIS CLIENT
FROM EASTERN EUROPE.
I'VE NEVER MET
THE CLIENT IN PERSON.
I'VE NEVER TALKED TO HIM
ON THE PHONE.
IT'S ALL EMAIL CORRESPONDENCE.
HE ORDERED THE CAR,
I INSPECTED IT OUT FOR HIM,
I SENT HIM PICTURES,
HE SENDS PAYMENT,
AND THEN WE'RE ALMOST DONE
WITH THE CAR,
HE DISAPPEARS OFF
THE FACE OF THE EARTH.
SO COULD YOU BELIEVE
AFTER AN ENTIRE YEAR,
THIS GUY SHOWS BACK UP,
HE SENT ME
ALL THESE PICTURES
OF BENTLEY INTERIORS.
SO ALTHOUGH THIS IS
A WILD PRO TOURING CAR,
IT ALSO HAS TO BE
VERY VERY LUXURIOUS.
AND HE WANTS THE CAR
IN SIX WEEKS.
SIX WEEKS?
WE'VE GOT SIX WEEKS.
WE'VE BEEN WORKING
ON THIS CAR FOR YEARS.
BUT THIS CAMARO STILL
NEEDS THE ENGINE PUT IN.
IT NEEDS ALL THE INTERIOR DONE.
IT NEEDS THE GLASS PUT IN,
PLUMBING, EVERYTHING.
YOU DON'T WANT TO MESS
NO QUALITY, YOU KNOW.
THE WHOLE THING
IS ALL ABOUT QUALITY.
AND SIX WEEKS IS GOING
TO CRUNCH ON IT BUT...
WHAT DID HE SAY WHEN
HE WAS ON THE PHONE?
I HAVEN'T TALKED TO THE GUY
ON THE PHONE, EVER.
I MEAN I DON'T CARE IF THE GUY
COMES IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE.
HOW DID YOU GET SIX WEEKS?
YEAH, HOW'D YOU GET THAT?
HE SENT ME AN EMAIL.
IT'S ALL EMAILS.
HE'S JUST PUSHING US
TO GET IT DONE FASTER.
HERE'S WHAT WE'VE GOT TO DO.
SO WE'RE GOING TO KEEP
THE EXTERIOR AS IS,
BUT THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT,
WAY TOO DULL.
I WANT TO GO WITH A SEMI-GLOSS
AND A METALLIC UNDERNEATH THAT.
TO GIVE THIS CLIENT THE POWER
THAT HE WANTS,
I DECIDED ON
A SHAFIROFF RACING
540 CUBIC INCH BIG BLOCK MOTOR
THAT DELIVERS 625 HORSEPOWER
WITH A CUSTOM
BUILT TURBO 400 TRANSMISSION.
WE'LL MAKE THE WHOLE
ENGINE COMPARTMENT POP.
THAT'S A LITTLE
MORE UP TO DATE.
IT'S WAY MORE UP TO DATE.
THE CAR IS PRETTY CUTTING EDGE,
WHICH IS GOOD.
THE INTERIOR,
WE HAD A GOOD PLAN.
SO, THE INTERIOR NEEDS
TO BE SLEEK, LUXURIOUS,
AND HE WANTS IT ORANGE,
LIKE KIND OF THE COLOR
OF A BASKETBALL.
PAUL'S GOING TO HAVE TO WIRE
THE WHOLE CARE STILL.
BEYOND THAT, WE'LL ADD SOME
SERIOUS TEST DRIVE TIME IN IT,
BUT ONCE WE GET
EVERYTHING SET UP AGAIN,
I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE
A NICE CAR.
WE ONLY GOT SIX WEEKS.
I BETTER GO START FINDING
THE PARTS NOW.
YEAH. GO DIG.
GET AFTER IT.
**
PURE AMERICAN BALL IS GOING
TO BE FLOATING AROUND RUSSIA.
WE'RE GOING TO DROP THIS BIG
BLOCK INTO THIS CHASSIS HERE.
YEAH, THIS BAD BOY...
SHOULD REALLY RUN THIS THING.
THE GUY FROM RUSSIA, HE WANTED
REAL AMERICAN HORSEPOWER,
SO WHAT WE OPTED TO GO
WITH WAS
A SHAFIROFF RACING
540 CUBIC INCH BIG BLOCK.
THIS THING IS GOING TO BE
EATING THE ****
OUT OF THE TIRES.
THERE'S MINE.
LOOK AT THAT.
THAT'S HOW YOU DO IT, MAN.
RIGHT ON THE MONEY.
THAT OKAY THERE?
NO SCRATCHES HERE.
NONE OVER HERE EITHER.
BUT WE AIN'T DONE YET.
THE TRANNY WE'RE
INSTALLING HERE IS A TURBO 400.
SHE'S A GOOD ONE.
YOU AIN'T GOING NOWHERE
WITHOUT NO DRIVE SHAFT.
SEXY.
THEY ACTUALLY FIT.
BOOYAH.
THAT LOOKS GOOD.
IT'S KIND OF
A SELF-PRIDE THING FOR ME
IS TO HIDE AS MUCH AS I CAN HIDE
WHEN YOU POP THE HOOD
TO LOOK AT THE MOTOR.
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT
TO SEE IS THE MOTOR,
NOT ALL THE BULL ****
THAT MAKES THE MOTOR RUN.
I TRY TO TAKE MY TIME AND ROUTE
EVERYTHING THROUGH THE INTAKE
OR THROUGH THE FRAME
OR MAKE LITTLE BRACKETS
AND RUN ****
UNDERNEATH THE HEADERS.
ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO GET
THE STUFF OUT OF YOUR EYE,
MAKES YOUR PROJECT A WHOLE LOT
BETTER LOOKING WHEN IT'S DONE.
OH, MAN, THIS THING'S HEAVY.
WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO
IS GET THAT REMOTE START,
FILL THE CARBURETOR UP WITH GAS
AND HOPEFULLY SHE COMES TO LIFE.
CARB CLEAR ALWAYS HELPS
JUST A HAIR.
ALL RIGHT, WHENEVER
YOU'RE READY.
[ MOTOR CRANKS ]
DO IT AGAIN.
DO IT AGAIN.
[ ENGINE CRANKS ]
ALL RIGHT.
NO ONE WANTS TO FEEL IT
SHAKING HERE.
I FELT IT SHAKE MY OFFICE.
THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH.
RUSSIA DON'T KNOW
WHAT'S COMING FOR THEM.
THEY MIGHT NOT EVEN
LET THIS CAR IN.
DO YOU KNOW THAT THE TARIFF
FOR THIS ENGINE
SIZE TO GET IT INTO THAT COUNTRY
IS $54,000?
REALLY?
YES.
JUST BECAUSE HE'S GOT THE BIG
DISPLACEMENT,
THEY WANT 54 GRAND?
GONNA SPANK HIM, THEN SNAP HIM
WITH THE WETTEST TOWEL.
IT'S NOT PRETTY,
BUT SOUNDS GOOD.
SO GOOD JOB.
YUP.
CONTINUE ON.
**
WE'VE GOT CHARLIE'S
383 STROKER HERE,
GETTING READY TO DO SOME PREP
ON IT AND GET IT IN THE BOOTH.
WE'RE GOING TO DO
A LITTLE GOLD ON IT
BECAUSE YOU KNOW HOW MUCH
CHARLIE LOVES GOLD.
SO LET'S GO GET IT IN THE BOOTH
AND START PREPPING IT UP.
JUST GOT DONE PUTTING
ON AN EPOXY PRIMER.
THE REASON WHY WE PUT
THE EPOXY PRIMER ON IT,
IS SO IT CAN HOLD THE HEAT
AND STILL STAY SHINY AND GLOSS
LIKE THE REST OF THE CAR LOOKS.
IF YOU EVER ARE PAINTING AN
ENGINE, YOU WANT TO USE EPOXY.
EPOXY IS JUST WHAT BITES
INTO THE METAL.
PLUS, IT ALSO HOLDS AND TAKES
THE HEAT VERY VERY WELL.
THIS IS A GOLD THAT
I'M GOING TO PUT DOWN
THAT I ACTUALLY REALLY LIKE
THAT I ACTUALLY HOPE
THAT CHARLIE DIGS TOO
BECAUSE IT KIND OF GOES
WITH THE REST OF THE GOLD
THAT HE HAS ON HIS CAR.
NOW THAT'S A GOOD
LOOKING GOLD NOW.
**
CHARLIE IS GOING TO DRIVE
THE CRAP OUT OF THIS CAR,
SO WE'VE GOT TO MAKE SURE
THAT EVERYTHING WE PUT IN,
PARTS AND QUALITY
AND LABOR'S ALL GOT
TO BE TOP NOTCH,
OR HE'S GOING TO BREAK IT.
AH, DAMN, SEE,
THIS IS WHAT I SAY, MAN.
YUP.
THIS THING'S ALREADY BEEN
MODIFIED LIKE A MOTHER ****.
BECAUSE IT ALREADY HAD
A COILOVER SUSPENSION
AND A 4-LINK SETUP,
THEY HAD ALREADY
PUT LIKE MORE OF
A PRO STREET STYLE
FRAME, BRACKETS,
AND CROSSMEMBERS IN HERE.
SO WE GOT TO CUT OUR FRAME BACK
DOWN TO A STOCK LOOKING FRAME
AND GET RID OF THE CROSSMEMBERS
THAT ARE IN THERE
BEFORE WE CAN PUT
OUR NEW KIT IN.
IF THE GUY HAD A SQUEAK
COMPLAINT, I THINK I FOUND IT.
THE NEW SETUP'S
COMPLETELY DIFFERENT
THAN WHAT WE'RE CUTTING OUT.
WHAT WE'RE CUTTING OUT
WAS MORE LIKE A OLD STYLE,
OLD TECHNOLOGY.
EVERYTHING NOWADAYS IS A LITTLE
LIGHTER, BUT STILL STRONGER.
ALL RIGHT, SO WE GOT
ALL THE CROSSMEMBERS
AND ALL THE BRACKETS
ON TO THE FRAME.
NOW IT'S TIME TO PUT OUR LINK
BARS AND SETUP THE GEOMETRY.
LET'S THROW IT ON HERE
AND ROCK 'N ROLL.
ALL RIGHT.
**
THINKING WE'RE RIGHT
ON SCHEDULE,
WE'RE GOING TO GET
THIS CAR ON ITS FEET
AND GET IT OUT OF HERE,
AND THEN BAM.
WE'VE GOT A LOT OF WORK
AHEAD OF US.
WE'RE COMPLETELY ****.
**
WE'RE COMPLETELY ****
WITH THIS REAR END.
YOU SEE HOW THE COILOVERS
ARE HITTING THAT BRACKET
ON THE BACK?
OH, YEAH.
OUR BUILT-IN 4-LINK IS GREAT.
IT WOULD HOLD A STOCK REAR END
RIGHT IN PLACE JUST PERFECT.
BUT WITH THE BIG REINFORCEMENTS
GOING ACROSS THE BACK,
THERE'S NO WAY
TO PUT THE COILOVERS
WHERE THEY NEED TO BE.
SO DO WE MODIFY THE UPPER
BRACKETS AND PUT THEM FORWARD?
OR DO WE MODIFY THE REAR END?
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE UP AGAINST.
YOU SEE THAT BIG BRACE
ALL THE WAY ACROSS?
FACTORY REAR END
WON'T HAVE THAT.
YOU'RE AT 9 AND 3/4?
I'M AT 8 AND 3/4.
BOTTOM LINE IS, WE'VE GOT
TO TAKE THE REAR END BACK OUT,
WE'VE GOT TO DO SOME MODIFYING
TO THE BRACKETS
TO THE REAR END,
DO SOME CUTTING.
WE'LL COME BACK AT IT AGAIN.
GRIND SOME OF THAT OFF,
CLEAN IT UP,
PUT A **** CAP
ON IT, BAM BAM.
AND ONCE THE SHOCKS ARE HERE,
IT'LL LOOK LIKE IT
WAS ALL MADE TO BE.
OH, YEAH.
THAT'LL LOOK WICKED.
SIMPLEST WAY I COULD THINK OF.
**
SO WE'VE GOT
THE BACK BRACE HERE
NOTCHED OUT
FOR THE SHOCK CLEARANCE.
WE'RE GOING TO MOVE THESE
INBOARD A LITTLE BIT HERE.
AND THEN I'LL GET THESE
TACKED UP ON THE AXLE HOUSING
AND THEN GET IT UP IN THE CAR.
GET IT ALL CENTERED
RIGHT THERE.
RIGHT THERE IS REALLY CLOSE,
AS LONG AS WE'RE CENTERED.
ALL RIGHT, ALL THE MEASUREMENTS
ARE GOOD.
WE'VE GOT OUR THINGS ALL TACKED
ON, WE'RE GOING TO DROP IT OUT,
TAKE IT TO THE BENCH,
BURN THEM IN GOOD,
THROW IT BACK IN AFTER
WE GET IT PAINTED.
WE'RE DONE.
THERE IT IS.
HOT, SWEET, AND STICKY.
SO WHEN YOU BUILD
A 383 STROKER ENGINE,
YOU GET EXTRA DISPLACEMENT
BY INCREASING THE STROKE.
SO YOU TAKE A 350 BLOCK
AND A 400 CRANK, AND BOOM.
MORE CUBIC INCHES.
AND WITH MORE CUBIC INCHES
COMES MORE GAS, AND MORE AIR,
AND THEREFORE MORE POWER.
WE'RE GOING TO TAKE IT
IN SIDEWAYS, WE HOPE,
CLEAR EVERYTHING,
THEN WE'LL TWIST IT STRAIGHT.
IF WE CAN GET IT
IN BELOW THE...
NOW WE'RE GETTING CLOSE
TO THE MASTER CYLINDER.
CLEAR?
YUP.
HERE IT GOES.
COME DOWN A LITTLE BIT.
LITTLE BIT MORE.
WANT MORE?
WHOA! WHOA!
WHAT?
WHAT, WHAT, WHAT?
JUST GETTING TIGHT.
LET'S REEVALUATE FOR A SECOND.
WE ALMOST NEED SOMEONE ELSE
TO LIFT THE CHERRY PICKER.
THEN I CAN HOLD UP AND TILT IT.
YEAH WE DO. WE NEED SOME HELP.
ERIC!
CAN YOU HELP US REAL QUICK?
YOU ROCK.
WHAT'S HAPPENING, GENTS?
OH.
GUYS GOT YOURSELVES
IN A LITTLE HOLE.
BETTER NOT SCRATCH ANYTHING,
ERIC.
WE'RE SO CLOSE.
LIFT UP MORE.
I COULD ACTUALLY
HELP IF YOU GUYS...
DO YOU WANT HELP?
CAN YOU PUSH IT BACK
JUST A FUZZ?
IT'S JUST...
GENTLE.
THIS THIS HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN.
PERFECTO!
PERFECTO!
LET HER DOWN JUST REAL SLOW.
WE'RE PAST OUR OBSTACLE.
WE'RE PUTTING A CHEVY
SMALL BLOCK
INTO A RATHER LARGE
ENGINE COMPARTMENT.
WE SHOULD NOT BE
HAVING ANY ISSUES,
BUT WE ARE FIGHTING
THIS THING LEFT AND RIGHT.
MAYBE IF YOU LOWERED
THE TRANNY A HAIR.
ALL RIGHT, TAKE IT UP
JUST A HALF A PUMP OR SO.
IT NEEDS TO SLIDE OVER
DOWN THIS WAY.
READY?
YEAH, A LITTLE BIT...
- GETTING CLOSER.
- THERE IT IS.
THERE IT WENT.
THERE YOU GO, I JUST PRIED ON
THIS UP HERE.
THIS SIDE SLID ON MORE.
ONE IN.
GOOD JOB, ERIC.
TWO IN.
FINALLY.
BYE, FELICIA!
ALL RIGHT, WE GOT IT IN.
LOOKS GOOD GUYS.
IT ONLY TOOK SEVEN GUYS
AND FOURTEEN HOURS.
THIS ONE'S A BITCH.
WITHOUT ERIC'S LITTLE
NIMBLE HANDS
WE WOULD HAVE NEVER PROBABLY
BEEN ABLE TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.
ERIC, YOU GET TO
DO THE HONORS.
GRAB THOSE DICE FOR ME, DUSTIN.
THESE DICE?
THOSE ARE THE ONES.
FUZZY DICE MIGHT BELONG
IN SOMEONE ELSE'S CAR,
BUT IN THE CARS WE DO, HELL NO.
THIS IS A TIME HONORED TRADITION
AT CLASSIC CAR STUDIO.
THOSE FUZZY DICE
AROUND THE MIRROR,
I THROW IT UP IN THE RAFTERS.
AH!
NEXT!
YOU CAN DO IT.
LOOK AT THAT!
THANK YOU.
I'LL BE ON THE BENCH
IF YOU NEED ME.
THAT WAS A GOOD TOSS.
PEACE, GENTLEMEN.
**
WE'VE GOT OUR PARTS
FROM CLASSIC INDUSTRIES.
SO THE CLIENT OF THIS '69 CAMARO
WANTS A FULL LUXURIOUS
BENTLEY INSPIRED INTERIOR.
AND NO BENTLEY IS GOING
TO HAVE CRANK WINDOWS.
SO WE'RE GOING TO UPGRADE
TO A FULL POWER WINDOW SETUP.
'67/'69 CAMARO
WINDOW ASSEMBLY.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE AFTER.
WE'VE GOT THE WEATHERSTRIPPING,
WE'VE GOT THE GLASS
AND WE'VE GOT THE INSIDE TRACKS.
WIRE UP MY BOMB HERE.
ALL RIGHT, COMING DOWN.
THANK YOU, MAN.
- NO PROBLEM.
WE'VE GOT THE GLASS IN THE HOLE,
DIDN'T GET NO BREAKS.
GOT ALL BRAND NEW TRACK,
BRAND NEW POWER MOTOR,
BRAND NEW EVERYTHING.
GLASS DROPPED DOWN
NICE AND EASY.
ON TO THE NEXT DOOR.
ALL RIGHT, SO THINGS ARE
COMING ALONG NICELY HERE.
WE'VE GOT ALL THE SUSPENSION ON.
THIS IS GOING TO HANDLE
LIKE A DREAM.
TODAY I HAD CHARLIE
AND HIS WIFE, ANNIE,
COME BY BECAUSE I THINK CHARLIE
IS MORE INTO
THE PERFORMANCE STUFF.
HIS WIFE IS DEFINITELY
WEARING THE SHOES
IN THE DESIGN DEPARTMENT.
WE'VE GOT THE WHEELS IN,
BUT I'VE GOT THEM HERE
BECAUSE I DON'T THINK
THEY'RE THE GOLD
THAT YOU'RE GOING
TO ACTUALLY WANT.
YEAH, THOSE AREN'T GOLD.
THAT'S LIKE CREAM OR...
IT'S A FUNNY COLOR.
IT'S BEIGE.
IF I WANT A KNOCKDOWN COLOR,
I'LL SAY THAT.
BUT IF I SAID GOLD, I WANT GOLD.
ARE THESE MY CHOICES?
THESE ARE YOUR CHOICES.
EVERYBODY LIKE CHOICES.
EVERYBODY LIKES CHOICES.
ALL RIGHT, GIVE ME THE ONES
YOU REALLY DON'T LIKE
AND WE'LL NARROW IT DOWN.
WELL THAT'S CHOCOLATE BROWN,
SO THAT'S RIDICULOUS.
CHOCOLATE BROWN IS OUT.
I DON'T WANT CHOCOLATE BROWN.
I WANT GOLD, LIKE THIS GOLD.
IT'S PRETTY GOLD.
IT'S A LITTLE BRONZEY.
THAT'S A LITTLE MUSTARDY.
YOU KEEP THIS...
I'M GOING TO PICK THIS.
ALL RIGHT, SORRY.
SHE'S GOT THIS AESTHETIC,
LIKE THIS EYE TO HER
THAT WILL TRANSCEND
ACROSS EVERYTHING.
THAT'S BETTER.
THAT'S GOLD.
WAIT, I'M NOT SUPPOSED
TO GIVE YOU THAT.
YOU HOLD THE GOOD ONES, OKAY?
THIS IS AWFUL.
THIS IS SOME SORT OF...
WHAT DO WE CALL THAT, CAMEL?
NO, IT'S NOT GOLD.
I DO TEND TO GET
A LITTLE TUNED UP ABOUT COLOR.
THE EXACT COLOR, THE EXACT
BLACK, THE EXACT SHEEN,
ALL THAT FOR ME
IS REALLY REALLY IMPORTANT.
WHY IS THIS EVEN
IN THE GOLD PACKAGE?
IT'S A FLAT COLOR.
THIS IS BETTER.
I LIKE HOW SHINY THAT ONE IS.
AND IT LOOKS LIKE GOLD.
GOLD.
WE'VE GOT A WINNER.
TOTALLY.
SEE?
THAT WAS PAINLESS.
INTERIOR.
WE WERE JUST GOING CLASSIC BEL
AIR STYLE BLACK INTERIOR
UNLESS YOU HAD ANY OBJECTIONS?
I'M THINKING WE OUGHT
TO SWITCH IT UP A LITTLE BIT.
PUT SOME LCD MONITORS IN THERE.
OH, FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE.
GET SOMETHING FLASHY.
YOU'RE JOKING.
OPEN THE DOOR,
EVERYTHING LIGHTS UP.
YOU'RE JOKING.
CAN WE MAKE THE DOORS
OPEN UP LIKE THIS?
- IT IS A '57 CHEVY.
THE LINES AREN'T GOING
TO CHANGE.
IT'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE
A '57 CHEVY.
BUT IF YOU GET INSIDE THE CAR
AND IF WE START PUTTING UP
WEIRD LIGHTS AND STUFF
THAT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THERE,
IT'S NOT GOING TO FEEL
LIKE A '57 CHEVY ANYMORE.
BUT EVERYTHING ELSE INSIDE,
RIGHT?
YEAH, WE'LL STAY ORIGINAL.
ANOTHER DREAM CRUSHED.
ALL RIGHT,
SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN.
THANK YOU, I APPRECIATE IT.
THANK YOU, NOAH.
THANK YOU, BABY.
IT LOOKS GREAT.
THE CUSTOMER
ON THE '69 CAMARO,
HE WANTED A CUSTOM SHEET
METAL DASH
AND THAT'S KIND OF ABOUT
WHERE HE LEFT IT OFF,
OTHER THAN HE WANTED
A EUROPEAN FEEL.
SO I LOOKED AT SOME
OF THE EUROPEAN CARS
AROUND HERE TO TRY AND FIND OUT
WHAT A EUROPEAN
DASH CONSISTS OF.
AND WHAT I GATHERED WAS THEY
ALL HAD A THREE VENT CENTERPIECE
AND THEY ALL HAD
A BIG INDIVIDUAL-GAUGE
GAUGE POD SETUP.
YEAH, I'M PROUD OF IT.
IT'S A PRETTY COOL PIECE,
LOTS OF CUTS, LOTS OF SHAPING,
AND LOTS OF WELDING,
BUT I THINK IT'LL DO US WELL.
WE BOUGHT A DIRECT FIT
'69 CAMARO WIRING KIT
AND WE GOT A CUSTOM MADE DASH
WITH CUSTOM GAUGES,
SO OBVIOUSLY **** LIKE THIS
AIN'T GOING TO GO IN THIS DASH,
SO WE'VE GOT TO MAKE UP
OUR OWN WIRING.
HOLY...
**
OH, JESUS.
THEY'RE GOING TO LOVE THAT.
THAT WAS THE GOAL TODAY
WHEN I CAME TO WORK.
I'M GOING TO SHOW THESE MOTHER
**** HOW TO CRASH AND BURN.
IT BOUNCED.
PROBABLY HAVE TO BLAST
THE WHOLE **** THING DOWN.
WHERE DO YOU WANT
YOUR LAST CHECK SENT?
JUST DIRECT DEPOSIT.
HEY, MARK.
I WANT TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING.
WHY?
WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH IT?
SCOTT DROPPED IT.
BRING THAT CAN OVER HERE
FOR A MINUTE.
THAT'S WHERE IT NEEDS
TO GO RIGHT NOW.
HOLY ****.
IT'S ALL CRACKED HERE,
ALL DOWN THROUGH HERE
WHERE'D HE DROP IT
FROM, THE ROOF?
SO IT'S ****.
WE'VE GOT A LOT OF CRACKS
TO FIX ON THIS THING.
IT'S THE LAST THING
WE NEED RIGHT NOW TOO.
I'M GOING TO GO HOME
AND CRY RIGHT NOW.
SORRY, MAN.
WE DON'T EVEN HAVE A GUY
WE CAN PUT ON IT RIGHT NOW.
THE METAL'S BROKE RIGHT THERE.
IT CRACKED OVER HERE TOO.
LET'S JUST GET THE FILLER
STRIPPED AWAY
AND SEE WHAT WE HAVE TO WELD UP.
WE'RE JUST GOING TO HAVE
TO MAKE REPAIRS TO IT.
SORRY, GUYS.
ALL RIGHT.
WHAT WE'RE HERE FOR.
TRY NOT TO KILL SCOTT.
WE'RE ALL A TEAM.
**** HAPPENS.
YEAH.
THANKS FOR THE GOOD NEWS.
ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU.
YOU'RE NOT WELCOME.
I COULD HAVE THROWN
THAT ACROSS THE SHOP
AND NOT HAVE ****
IT UP THAT BAD.
I DON'T KNOW.
SOMETHING GOING ON HERE.
**
THIS THING CAME OFF OF
THE BENCH,
DID A BOUNCE BOUNCE BOUNCE
ON THE GROUND
AND BUSTED ALL THE MUD
OUT OF IT.
SO WE'VE GOT TO GRIND IT ALL OUT
AND MUD IT UP AND START OVER.
WELL AT LEAST WE'RE NOT
STARTING OVER OVER.
THAT THING WAS PAINTED
AND READY TO GO.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO IT?
YOU HADN'T HEARD, HAD YOU?
NO ONE EVER TELLS ME
ANYTHING, APPARENTLY.
SCOTT GOT ****
THREW IT DOWN FROM THE ROOF.
NO, IT FELL OFF HIS BENCH
WHEN HE WAS WIRING IT.
WHAT THE ****.
YEAH.
NIGHTMARE.
THE WORST TIMING.
I HOPE HE WAS CRYING.
I THINK SO.
HE FEELS PRETTY BAD ALREADY.
HE CAME OVER HERE
AFTER A LITTLE BIT
AND HE WAS JUST
SHAKING HIS HEAD.
HE DESTROYED IT.
WE DON'T HAVE THE TIME
OR BUDGET TO REDO THE DASH.
IT TOOK A MONTH TO MAKE
IN THE FIRST PLACE.
RIGHT.
THIS IS A FREAKING DISASTER.
**
SCOTT, FOR YOU.
COOL.
HE SPENT ALL DAY
SATURDAY ON THIS THING.
HE DID ALL THIS WORK,
NICE BEAUTIFUL WORK TO IT
AND YOU THROW IT ON THE FLOOR.
I KNOW MAN,
IT CRUSHED MY HEART.
I APPRECIATE YOU THROWING AWAY
YOUR SATURDAY
TO GET IT ALL BACK ON TRACK.
NAH, IT'S ALL RIGHT.
I'LL DO THAT FOR YOU ANY TIME.
YOU KNOW THAT.
SO LET'S GET IT IN.
WOULD YOU MIND HELPING ME
GET IT IN?
WANT ME TO HELP YOU?
ALL RIGHT.
YOU'VE GOT TO COME IN MORE.
OKAY, WE'RE ALIGNED.
COOL MAN.
IT LOOKS GOOD, DOESN'T IT?
OUR CUSTOMER WANTS
SOME HIGH END CRAZY
DESIGN WORK ON THIS INTERIOR.
BUT WE'RE GOING TO KNOCK
IT OUT OF THE PARK.
I KNOW MY GUYS CAN HANDLE IT.
IT'S GOING TO LOOK
FREAKING PHENOMENAL.
THIS IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT
BECAUSE IT IS LEATHER,
SO IT'S EVEN
A LITTLE MORE NERVE RACKING.
QUITE A CHALLENGE.
WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET
TO THIS CAR TO TEST-FIT IT
AS OFTEN AS I NORMALLY LIKE.
IT'LL FIT.
I JUST NEED TO MOVE THE TABS
OUT A LITTLE BIT
AND THEN WE'LL GET IT
TO FIT REALLY EASY.
BUT FOR NOW WE'LL GO AHEAD
AND PUT THE OTHER SEAT IN JUST
SO WE CAN SEE
IF THERE'S ANY ADJUSTMENTS
REQUIRED ON THAT TOO.
OH YEAH, IT'S COZY.
I JUST DON'T HAVE TIME
TO ENJOY THEM.
GOT TO GO GET
THE FRONT SEATS NOW.
I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY NOTICED
THIS YET OR NOT,
BUT THIS BUMPER
IS TILTED DOWN ON THIS SIDE
AND IT LOOKS LIKE
IT'S BENT RIGHT HERE.
I DON'T KNOW IF THEY WANT
TO FIX THAT.
WELL WHILE WE GO IT
IN HERE OR NOT.
HEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
LOOKING AT THIS BUMPER.
IT'S BENT.
DID YOU GUYS NOTICE THAT?
YOUR HEAD'S JUST
TILTED THAT WAY.
NAH. MY HEAD'S STRAIGHT
AS CAN BE.
OKAY.
WHAT'S YOUR DIAGNOSIS?
IT'S BENT RIGHT HERE.
YEAH.
THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF
A BUCKLE IN THE FRAME,
JUST THE VERY BACK
FEW INCHES OF THE FRAME.
OH, YEAH.
WE CAN PULL THE BUMPER
OFF PRETTY EASY.
WE'RE GOING TO DO EVERYTHING
WE CAN TO STRAIGHTEN
THIS PIECE OUT AND REUSE IT.
AND HOPEFULLY
THE CHROME HOLDS UP.
THAT'S THE ONE THING
THAT WE'RE WORRIED ABOUT.
WHENEVER YOU TRY TO STRAIGHTEN
SOMETHING OUT THAT'S CHROME,
YOU HAVE TO GO REALLY SLOW
SO YOU DON'T CRACK ANYTHING.
OH, LOOK AT THAT.
YEAH.
WE'RE GOING TO TRY AND PUT IT
IN A PRESS AND ACTUALLY PUSH
DOWN RIGHT HERE.
HAVE A LITTLE MORE CONTROL
THAN TRYING TO DO IT
UNDERNEATH THE CAR.
WHAT ARE YOU THINKING, DAN?
I JUST THINK
THE CHROME'S GOING TO POP.
DON'T SAY THAT.
BE POSITIVE.
YOU'VE MET ME, RIGHT?
PUT THIS UNDERNEATH THERE.
YEAH, SO WHEN IT'S SET
IN HERE,
YOU CAN REALLY SEE
HOW BOWED THIS IS RIGHT THERE.
THAT'S A LONG WAY
TO GO, I THINK,
WITHOUT POPPING THE CHROME
BUT WE'LL SEE.
SO AT CLASSIC CAR STUDIO WE HAVE
SOME OF THE COOLEST CARS
ON THE PLANET
THAT COME THROUGH THIS PLACE.
NICE MUSCLE CARS,
PRO TOURING CARS, HOT RODS.
BUT THE ONE THAT REALLY
STANDS OUT IS NOAH'S ARK.
IT'S PROBABLY BY SIZE,
THE SMALLEST VEHICLE THAT WE'VE
HAD IN HERE, BUT IT'S THE BEST.
AND THIS IS THE LAMBORGHINI
OF FLOOR SWEEPERS RIGHT HERE.
THIS THING HAS
A FULL 1 HORSEPOWER.
IT HAS A 260 RPM BRUSH MOTOR
ON IT,
HAS A FULL 28-INCH SPAN
OF FLOOR SCRUBBING POWER.
THAT'S ENOUGH FOR NOAH TO BE
ABLE TO GET UP TO
ABOUT 4 MILE PER HOUR.
YEAH, I SAID
4 MILE PER HOUR.
FLOOR SWEEPER, SCRUBBER
OR NOT, WE NEED TO CUSTOMIZE IT.
BUT APPARENTLY NOAH THINKS THIS
THING'S ALREADY THE CAT'S ASS
AND WE DON'T NEED TO DO
ANYTHING TO IT.
**
WHEN NOAH CRUISES BY ON
NOAH'S ARK,
IT JUST MAKES ME
FEEL HAPPY FOR HIM.
HE'S IN HIS ELEMENT,
HE'S OUT THERE, HE'S HAVING FUN.
HE FORGETS ABOUT ALL THE DAILY
PROBLEMS THAT GO ON.
HE'S JUST OUT THERE
DRIFTING AROUND.
AND HEY, IF HE'S HAPPY,
WE'RE ALL HAPPY.
**
CHARLIE'S '57 BEL AIR
IS ALMOST DONE
BUT DAN JUST CAUGHT THAT
THE REAR BUMPER WAS BENT
A LITTLE BIT.
SO DAN AND CHARLES
ARE GOING TO TRY AND FIX IT
WITHOUT POPPING THE CHROME.
LUCKILY FOR US, IT WAS JUST
THE BOARDS THAT COLLAPSED.
THANK GOODNESS IT WAS
NOT THE CHROME, BECAUSE I MEAN
THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE END
OF THE DAY FOR US ON THIS JOB.
NOTHING.
NOTHING, HUH?
IT'S THAT LAST LITTLE BIT
THAT'S GOING TO BE STUBBORN.
SO WE CAN PUSH DOWN HERE.
YEAH.
AND THEN LET'S
MOVE OUR WOOD AROUND.
HE SAID LET'S MOVE
OUR WOOD AROUND.
THAT'S PRETTY FUNNY.
GO AHEAD.
NOW WE'RE TALKING.
OKAY, LET THAT PRESSURE OFF
FOR A SECOND.
WE GOT IT.
DOWN THE EDGE IT'S STRAIGHT.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
IT LOOKS A LOT BETTER
THAN IT WAS.
I HOPE THIS THING FITS
ON HERE CORRECTLY.
I HOPE WE DIDN'T GO TOO FAR.
CHECK IT OUT MAN,
IT'S GOING TO WORK.
I THINK IT'S GOING TO...
WHOA, GOD YOU'VE GOT A VIOLENT
SIDE TO YOU, DON'T YOU?
IS YOUR BRACKET LOOSENED UP
TO WHERE WE CAN SLIDE
YOUR SIDE OUT AND MY SIDE IN?
MAN, I'M LOOKING AT MY
PRETTY FACE IN THE CHROME.
DON'T BE BOTHERING ME RIGHT NOW.
**
SO YOU'RE SURE IT'S FINISHED?
I'M POSITIVE.
DRIVE NICE?
IT DRIVES AWESOME.
THREE YEARS.
IT LOOKS LIKE A MILLION BUCKS.
IT'S FREAKING AWESOME.
AND IT ONLY COST HALF.
SO AFTER THREE YEARS
IT'S PRETTY CRAZY
TO ACTUALLY SEE
THE CAMARO GET COMPLETED.
THE WHEELS ON IT, THE INTERIOR
REALLY GLOWING THROUGH.
THE CAR'S GOT A WICKED STANCE,
A KILLER OVER-THE-TOP LOOK.
NO MATTER WHERE IT GOES,
PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE LOVE IT
AND BE DRAWN TO IT.
THE ORANGE INTERIOR REALLY
LOOKS GOOD OUT IN THE SUN.
IT POPS.
HE ASKED FOR A BENTLEY
INTERIOR AND I THINK HE GOT ONE.
BENTLEYS DON'T HAVE
LEATHER FLOORS.
THEY DON'T HAVE
LEATHER FLOORS.
WHAT YOU GOT, BENTLEY?
SCOTT'S CUSTOM DASH
TURNED OUT WELL.
I KNOW.
AND THEN ALL
THE CUSTOM BODY MODS.
THE ENTIRE BODY ON THIS CAR
IS CUSTOM ONE-OFF METAL WORK.
SO IT IS WHOLLY UNIQUE.
IT LOOKS PRETTY FREAKING FAST
JUST SITTING THERE.
IT DOES.
I WANT TO CHECK OUT
THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT.
IT'S GOT A SHAFIROFF
RACING MOTOR.
CLASSIC BIG BLOCK MOTOR
BUT THIS THING'S
LOADED FULL OF HIGH
PERFORMANCE STUFF.
MAKES 650 HORSEPOWER.
IT JUST FRICKING RIFFS.
MAN THIS THING
IS FREAKING KILLER.
AND EVEN ALL THE WAY UP
TO THESE DETAILS, YOU KNOW.
YOU THINK ABOUT HOW MUCH WORK
THAT TOOK TO PUT
ALL THESE LITTLE DETAILS
ON THE BOTTOM SIDE OF THAT HOOD.
ONE-OFF STUFF.
IT'S WHAT I LOVE.
WE NEED TO FRICKING DRIVE IT.
LET'S GO DRIVE IT.
[ENGINE REVS]
SOUNDS LIKE A BEAST.
SO I'VE NEVER TALKED
TO THIS CLIENT ON THE PHONE
AND I DON'T KNOW IF I EVER WILL.
BUT I MADE HIM PROMISE TO SEND
ME PHOTOS OF IT IN RUSSIA,
BECAUSE I WANT TO SEE THIS THING
ON THE STREETS THERE.
THAT'LL KIND OF BRING IT
ALL TOGETHER FOR ME.
I GUESS THIS IS GOODBYE
AFTER THREE LONG YEARS.
SHE'S GOT TO GO HOME
SOME TIME, SO...
SO WE'RE JUST GOING
TO LEAVE IT IN THE GARAGE?
YEAH, JUST GOT TO GIVE
THE KEYS TO THE ATTENDANT.
THEY'RE GOING TO SHIP IT.
OKAY.
IT'S KIND OF WEIRD
TO LEAVE IT LIKE THIS,
BUT I GUESS
THAT'S WHAT THEY WANT.
BYE LITTLE BUDDY.
SEE YOU LITTLE GUY.
I HOPE YOU HAVE A GOOD --
[ BOTH LAUGH ]
**
ALL RIGHT, SO WHAT I'M DOING
IS LAYING OUT A TEMPLATE PATTERN
AND I'M TRANSFERRING THIS
TO 16-GAUGE SHEET METAL.
AND WHAT IT'S GOING TO END UP
BEING IS A COVER
FOR A RADIATOR ON A '57 CHEVY.
THE HOOD ROLLS OVER REAL FAR,
SO A LOT OF RADIATOR
AND UGLY STUFF YOU DON'T CARE
TO SEE IS EXPOSED.
SO JUST A LITTLE FANCY PIECE,
JUST ALL EYE CANDY.
BUT THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL
ABOUT IN MY WORLD.
ALL RIGHT, SO WE'VE GOT OUR
PIECE ALL CUT OUT,
DIMPLED, DYED, BROKE.
THIS SURE LOOKS PRETTY
WHEN IT'S DONE.
**
SO A COUPLE MONTHS AGO CHARLIE
BROUGHT IN HIS '57 CHEVY.
TODAY WE'RE PUTTING ON
THE FINISHING TOUCHES TO MAKE IT
THE WILD TIRE BURN
HE'S BEEN WANTING.
WE'VE JUST GOT TO MOUNT
SOME SPEAKERS IN THE TRUNK
AND THEN CHARLIE CAN HAVE
HIS LITTLE TIME CAPSULE BACK.
I THINK THE FINAL TOUCH
TO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT
IS GOING TO LOOK KILLER.
SO THROW THESE ON AND WE'RE
GOING FOR A TEST DRIVE.
DELIVERING A CAR TO
THE CUSTOMER
IS THE BEST PART OF THIS JOB.
THEY'VE BEEN DREAMING
ABOUT THIS THING FOREVER.
WE PULLED OFF AN AWESOME JOB.
GIVE IT TO THEM SO THEY CAN
FRICKING HAUL ASS OUT OF HERE.
THERE'S NOTHING
BETTER THAN THAT.
THAT LOOKS AWESOME.
THE FONZ ROLLING UP HERE?
OH MY GOD.
IT -- OH, MY GOD,
I LOVE IT.
THAT'S GOOD.
NOAH!
HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM APPLES?
SERIOUSLY.
I LOVE THE GOLD FINS.
IT WAS LIKE CHRISTMAS
MORNING TIMES TEN.
I CAN'T EVEN TELL YOU.
I MEAN, THE STANCE IS KILLER.
I WAS REALLY TORN ON HOW
WE WERE GOING TO DO THE GOLD.
WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME
MIXING THE PAINT.
WE'VE GOT A BUNCH
OF FLAKE IN IT.
ADD IN A FLAT CLEAR
OVER THE TOP,
SO IT REALLY POPS
IN THE SUN AND SPARKLES.
I THINK IT'S SO CLASSY
AND BADASS.
IT'S PERFECTION.
IN THE PERFORMANCE DEPARTMENT,
WE HAVE A CRAZY
OVER-THE-TOP SUSPENSION,
COILOVER SHOCKS
ALL THE WAY AROUND.
THEY'RE FULLY ADJUSTABLE.
YOU CAN DIAL-IN
FOR HOW YOU WANT TO DRIVE.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN ADJUSTABLE?
FULLY ADJUSTABLE.
YOU CAN MAKE IT SOFTER.
YOU CAN MAKE IT RIDE HARDER.
YOU CAN MESS WITH THE HANDLING
ALL YOU WANT.
I'VE GOT IT DIALED IN
NICE AND STIFF
FOR OUR LITTLE
PERFORMANCE DRIVING.
I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU
WHAT THIS THING'S MADE OF.
MAYBE YOU CAN SHOW ME
WHAT IT'S MADE OF.
NO, NO, NO.
I'VE DONE THE BURNOUT TEST.
YES, IT WILL DO A BURNOUT.
IT'S FREAKING WICKED.
OUT BACK WE'VE GOT A KILLER
4-LINK KIT HOOKED UP
TO A COOLY CUSTOM
FABRICATED FULL 9-INCH.
IT IS BUILT TO THE HILT.
I KNOW HOW YOU WANT
TO DRIVE THIS THING.
I KNOW YOU'RE AN ANIMAL
ON THE STREET.
ALL YOU WANT TO DO IS GET
IN IT
AND JUST HAUL ASS
AS FAST AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN.
THE INTERIOR,
I KNOW YOU WANTED TO KEEP IT.
TOTAL CLASSIC STYLE INTERIOR.
I MEAN...
ALL ORIGINAL.
YEAH. YOU SAID TIME CAPSULE
AND I KEPT THAT IN MIND.
WE'VE GOT IT
COMPLETELY RESTORED.
THIS IS PERFECT.
YOU CAN DO THESE
A LOT OF DIFFERENT WAYS.
THIS IS PERFECT.
THIS IS SPECTACULAR.
HEY, LET'S CHECK OUT
THIS ENGINE.
OH, MY GOODNESS. DID YOU REDO
THE GRILL? OH, MY GOSH.
THE GRILL?
OH! [LAUGHS]
IT'S GOLD!
IT'S BEAUTIFUL!
THIS BIG GOLD NUGGET
SITTING RIGHT INSIDE OF THERE.
IT STILL LOOKS VINTAGE
LIKE IT'S SUPPOSED TO
BUT IT DOES
ALL THAT CRAZY STUFF.
IT'S JUST MODERN EVERYTHING.
IT'S PERFECT.
IT IS A MEAN STREET MOTOR.
470 HORSEPOWER, ALMOST 500 FOOT-
POUNDS OF TORQUE.
WE'VE GOT A MASSIVE ALUMINUM
RADIATOR, WE'VE GOT DUAL FANS,
WE'VE GOT FULL LENGTH HEADERS,
BRAND NEW
PERFORMANCE STEERING BOX.
WE'VE GOT A WILWOOD
MASTER CYLINDER, POWER AS WELL.
YOU CLEANED UP THE WHOLE BACK
BAY OF IT TOO.
ALL THIS.
YUP.
WE'VE GOT ALL THE FIREWALL
CLEANED UP,
WE'VE GOT THE WHEEL
WELLS CLEANED UP.
SCOTT TURNED OUT THIS BADASS
CUSTOM PIECE TO COVER IT UP
AND MAKE IT ALL LOOK CLEAN.
ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE.
IT'S SO GOOD.
I'M GLAD YOU GUYS LIKE IT.
IT'S MORE THAN WE COULD
HAVE EVER DREAMED OF.
IT'S AMAZING.
THE MOST FUN PART ABOUT THE CAR
IS THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE.
SO YOU JUST LET ME KNOW
WHEN YOU'RE READY.
I'M READY TO GO.
HONEY?
IS THAT OKAY?
I'LL WATCH.
YOU PUT A HELMET ON
AND STAND ON THE SIDELINES
BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO BE ROWDY.
BE CAREFUL.
NOAH.
IT'LL BE ALL RIGHT.
I'VE GOT THIS.
IT'S OKAY.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S DO THIS.
SHOW ME
WHAT WE'RE WORKING WITH.
TO HELL WITH BEING CAREFUL,
RIGHT?
YOU GOT IT.
[ ENGINE ROARS TO LIFE ]
75 PRETTY GOOD.
IT GETS YOUR HEART PUMPING.
YEAH, THERE YOU GO.
OH, ****.
COULD NOT BE HAPPIER.
IT IS TRULY SOMETHING
THAT IS REMARKABLE.
AND WHAT WE LOVE MOST ABOUT IT,
IT'S THE ONLY ONE
IN THIS WORLD LIKE IT.
I HAVEN'T SEEN MY WIFE
THIS HAPPY IN QUITE SOME TIME.
SHE'S ECSTATIC.
SHE LOVES IT.
DOES IT HAVE A RADIO?
YES, IT DOES.
IT HAS A RADIO?
[SCREAMS] BABY, DON'T!
UNH!
'57 CHEVY.
AMERICA'S FAVORITE HOT ROD
GETS A PERFORMANCE BOOST.
I WANT TO DRIVE LIKE
I'M HAULING ASS ALL THE TIME.
BUT NOT EVERYBODY
IS READY FOR THIS RIDE.
THOSE AREN'T GOLD.
IF I WANT A KNOCKDOWN COLOR,
I'LL SAY THAT.
Man: AND A CAMARO THREE YEARS
IN THE MAKING.
AFTER AN ENTIRE YEAR,
THIS GUY SHOWS BACK UP.
SUDDENLY HAS SIX WEEKS
TO BE ROAD WORTHY.
SIX WEEKS?
THIS IS A FRICKING DISASTER.
WHERE DO YOU WANT
YOUR LAST CHECK SENT?
IT'S BIG POWER.
I FELT IT SHAKE MY OFFICE.
AND BIG PERSONALITY.
IF I SAY GOLD, I WANT GOLD.
- ANOTHER DREAM CRUSHED.
- BUCKLE UP.
BE CAREFUL.
IT'S ABOUT TO GET WILD.
TO HELL WITH
BEING CAREFUL, RIGHT?
MAKING A CAR LOOK GOOD?

CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY
DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS
**
SO I'M MEETING
WITH CHARLIE TODAY,
WHO DRIVES LIKE
A WILD MAN, LIVES FAST,
AND HE'S BRINGING
IN A '57 CHEVY BEL AIR.
THINGS SHOULD GET INTERESTING.
WHAT'S GOING ON, CHARLIE?
HOW ARE YOU DOING?
GOOD.
HOW ARE YOU?
DOING DAMN GOOD.
GOOD TO SEE YOU.
GOOD TO SEE YOU TOO.
TELL ME ABOUT THE CAR.
WE BOUGHT IT FROM
A CAR GALLERY
DOWN THE STREET HERE
IN ST. LOUIS.
WE WERE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING
THAT HAD HERITAGE TO IT.
A PERSON ACTUALLY CRAFTED IT
WITH THEIR HANDS.
IT'S GOT THIS DESIGN,
THIS POWER BEHIND IT
THAT YOU KIND OF LOSE
WITH NEWER AUTOMOBILES.
LOOKS LIKE A NICE NEW
ORIGINAL CAR.
I THINK WE'VE GOT
A REALLY GOOD STARTING POINT.
THE '57 CHEVY IS AN ICONIC CAR.
ITS ALWAYS BEEN VERY POPULAR
SINCE THEY WERE RELEASED.
A LOT OF CUSTOMS,
A LOT OF ORIGINALS.
PEOPLE ABSOLUTELY LOVE
THESE THINGS.
THESE CARS HAVE BEEN EVERYTHING
FROM FAMILY CARS, TO DRAGSTERS.
SO WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING TO DO
WITH THE CAR?
WHAT KIND OF DIRECTION
DO YOU WANT TO TAKE IT IN?
WHAT DON'T WE WANT
TO DO WITH IT?
I LIKE WHERE WE'RE GOING!
THE CAR IS BLACK.
ALL THE CARS THAT WE HAVE
IN OUR COLLECTION...
IT'S GOT TO BE BLACK.
ALL BLACK EVERYTHING.
EVERYTHING IS BLACK.
WE DO HAVE A LITTLE GOLD
FLAVOR GOING ON HERE THOUGH.
GOLD IS KEY.
YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE THE GOLD.
SO WHAT IF WE PAINTED
THE ENTIRE THING IN GOLD?
I THINK WE NEED TO LOAD IT
BACK UP
ON THE TRAILER AND LEAVE.
ALL RIGHT.
FROM AN EXTERIOR STANDPOINT,
WHEN YOU WALK UP TO THIS CAR,
IT'S GOT TO FLASH.
I WANT TO SEE LENS FLARES
WHEN I'M LOOKING AT THIS THING.
SO IN TERMS
OF OVERALL STYLING,
I KNOW WHAT YOU LIKE WHAT'S
GOING ON FOR THE MOST PART.
IT'S GOT ALL THE BEAUTY.
IT'S GOT EVERYTHING YOU WANT
IN A CLASSIC CAR,
BUT IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE.
AND HOW IS IT THAT
YOU WANT TO DRIVE?
I WANT TO DRIVE LIKE
I'M HAULING ASS ALL THE TIME.
LET'S TALK ABOUT THE ENGINE.
YES.
I KIND OF WANT TO SCARE
THE **** OUT OF YOU.
OLD SCHOOL, SMALL BLOCK.
MAKES THEM HIGH HORSEPOWER.
THAT'S GOOD.
I LIKE BEING SCARED.
RIGHT.
NEEDS TO BE AUTOMATIC BECAUSE
I NEED TO FOCUS MORE ON MY WIFE
THAN ACTUALLY SHIFTING GEARS.
YOU'VE GOT TO KEEP HER HAPPY.
I'VE GOT TO TAKE CARE OF HER.
I LIKE WHERE
YOU'RE GOING THERE.
IT NEEDS TO BE FUN
AND AGGRESSIVE,
AND KIND OF THAT THROWBACK.
YET IT NEEDS TO HAVE
ENOUGH MODERN TOUCHES.
I THINK WE CAN LOWER
THIS THING DOWN TO THE GROUND
AND GIVE IT A BADASS STANCE.
I'VE GOT A COUPLE GOOD IDEAS
FOR WHEEL AND TIRE PACKAGES
THAT I THINK IS GOING TO REALLY
MAKE THIS THING POP.
OKAY.
IT'LL GIVE YOU SOME CRAZY
SPEED AND WAY BETTER
PERFORMANCE.
A LOT BETTER SUSPENSION,
AND I THINK
WE CAN DO SOME WORK
ON THE STYLING
WITHOUT KILLING IT TOO MUCH.
IT'LL BE A TIRE BURNING HOT ROD.
IT'S GOING TO BE A BADASS.
I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO LIKE
THE DIRECTION WE TAKE IT IN.
NOTHING MATTERS EXCEPT
FOR THE MOMENT
THAT YOU'RE IN RIGHT THERE,
AND HOW HARD YOU PUSH DOWN
ON THAT GAS PEDAL.
THANKS FOR COMING IN.
I APPRECIATE IT.
THANK YOU SIR.
BYE-BYE BABY.
LOOKING FORWARD TO WORKING
ON IT.
**
A '57 CHEVY.
THIS RIGHT HERE ****.
THIS RIGHT HERE
IS AMERICA'S HOT ROD.
THERE YOU GO.
SO I KNOW WE'VE GOT
TO DO
SOME CUSTOM **** TO THIS.
SO AFTER I MEET WITH THE CLIENT,
I TYPICALLY LIKE TO MEET
WITH CHARLES OR GM
AND SCOTT, MY LEAD FABRICATOR,
COME UP
WITH A GOOD PLAN TOGETHER.
YOU TALKED TO THE OWNER.
YEAH, WHAT DOES HE WANT?
POWER STEERING,
POWER BRAKES, BIG BRAKES.
HE WANTS AIR CONDITIONING,
WE'LL GIVE HIM THAT.
ALL RIGHT.
HE WANTS SOMETHING THAT
HE'S GOING TO DRIVE EVERYWHERE.
HE'LL DRIVE IT EVERY DAMN DAY.
HE LIKES THE ORIGINAL
'57 CHEVY LOOK.
HE DRIVES AROUND LIKE
A FREAKING MANIAC, A NUT.
AND HE KEEPS BLOWING UP MOTORS.
HE'S BEEN THROUGH I THINK THREE
ENGINES, AND TWO TRANSMISSIONS.
I WANT TO HEAR
YOUR FIRST BAD IDEA.
'57 CHEVY WITH A CANDY LACE
MEXICAN ROOF DANGLE BERRIES.
TURN IT INTO A HOPPER.
DAYTON WIRE WHEELS.
DAYTONS?
HOW BIG OF A BURRITO
DID YOU EAT FOR LUNCH?
HE DID SAY HE LIKES GOLD.
I THINK WE DO PROBABLY
GOLD WHEELS.
GOLD ENGINE?
GOLD ENGINE?
THAT'S ONE OF THE MOST
ICONIC CLASSIC CARS EVER BUILT.
SO YOU CAN'T REALLY GO WRONG
WITH THE '57 CHEVY BEL AIR.
THE HURDLE BECOMES, HOW DO
WE MAKE THIS CAR DIFFERENT?
AND NOT LOOK LIKE
EVERYBODY ELSE'S '57 CHEVY?
I THINK WE BUILT THEM
QUASI PRO TOURING CAR.
YOU DRIVE IT ALL OVER THE PLACE.
OVERDRIVE TRANSMISSION,
BADASS REAR END.
MAKE IT JUST SO THAT
HE CAN'T BREAK IT.
WE'LL GET HIM A CRATE MOTOR
WITH A WARRANTY,
WITH HIGH HORSEPOWER.
SOMETHING THAT HE COULD THRASH.
SO WE'RE GOING TO DO
A 383 STROKER,
OVER 500 HORSEPOWER,
AN OVERDRIVE TRANSMISSION,
AND A FABRICATED 9-INCH
REAR END.
THIS THING IS GOING TO BE
FREAKING STOUT.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S TALK
ABOUT THE SUSPENSION.
CAN WE HAMMER IT SOMEHOW?
HAMMER IT DOWN.
LET'S HAMMER IT DOWN
LIKE ROUND.
WHAT KIND OF WHEELS?
BIG WHEELS?
LITTLE WHEELS?
18" WHEELS?
LIKE MAGNESIUM STYLE.
YOU KNOW, WITH MODERN STYLING
BUT WITH THE YESTERDAY'S
TECHNOLOGY OF
THE DAHL 7 MAGNESIUM
STYLE WHEEL.
I THINK IT WOULD
BE REALLY BITCH.
WE'RE GOING INTERIOR?
WELL AT THE MOMENT
HE'S GOT SHIPPING BLANKET
AND NO REAR SEAT.
IT LOOKS LIKE RATS
HAVE BEEN LIVING BACK THERE.
HE WANTS
A CLASSIC STYLE INTERIOR.
STOCK INTERIOR?
SO WE NEED TO RECREATE
THE INTERIOR IN THIS CAR
SO IT LOOKS EXACTLY
LIKE IT DID IN 1957.
TIME CAPSULE.
ALL BRAND NEW.
ALL STOCK.
ALL STOCK.
WE SHOULD ALSO PROBABLY
UPGRADE THE SOUND SYSTEM
WITH SOME NEW MODERN COMPONENTS.
YES.
A PROBLEM WITH THAT TOO?
STOP SCRATCHING YOUR HEAD.
WHY ARE YOU
SCRATCHING YOUR HEAD?
ARE YOU NERVOUS?
GOT LICE?
YEAH, WHAT'S WRONG?
I'M GETTING READY
TO FREAK OUT.
YOU GUYS ARE GETTING
IN MY BUBBLE.
I THINK WE CAN GIVE IT
A UNIQUE LOOK.
IT'LL FINE.
IT'S GOING TO BE A GOOD CAR.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO.
COME ON.
GET HIM. GET HIM.
UNH!
[ LAUGHING ]
**
ALL RIGHT, SO HOW ARE WE DOING?
SEATBELT'S OUT, CARPETING,
AND THAT REAR PACKAGE TRAY.
CHARLIE WANTS AN ORIGINAL
LOOKING INTERIOR
BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN WE ARE
GOING TO KEEP WHAT'S IN THERE.
SO WE'RE GOING TO TEAR IT DOWN
AND START WITH A CLEAN SLATE.
'57 OE FLOOR PANS.
THAT'S SOME GOOD ASS VELCRO.
THAT'S SOME CUSTOM ****.
THERE WE GO.
AND LOOKS LIKE SOME OLD UNDIES
OR SOMETHING DOWN THERE.
YEAH, WHO KNOWS?
THAT MIGHT BE GRANNY PANTIES.
LOOK AT THESE
ANCIENT GRILLS, MAN.
COME ON MAN,
PULL THOSE GRANNY PANTIES OUT.
TOLD YOU I WASN'T
TOUCHING THOSE.
COME ON, YOU'LL TOUCH THEM.
NOPE.
AAH!
HEY, DUSTIN.
THERE'S YOUR GRANNY PANTIES.
AAH!
AN OLD T-SHIRT, LOOKS LIKE.
I HOPE.
LOOK AT THAT.
A MOUSE HOUSE.
- THERE'S A DEAD ONE.
- OH, MAN.
I'M NOT TOUCHING THAT.
WHEN WE'RE TEARING DOWN A CAR,
WE USUALLY EXPECT TO FIND
SOME NASTY OLD FOAM,
BAD WIRING, JUST STUFF
THAT'S KIND OF DETERIORATING.
WHAT WE DON'T EXPECT
TO FIND ARE DEAD RODENTS
AND OLD GRANNY PANTIES.
I HOPE THIS ISN'T A SIGN
OF THINGS TO COME.
I BETTER NOT.
THIS IS A CUSTOMER'S CAR.
IT AIN'T OUR CAR.
IT'S ALL RIGHT.
IT CAME WITH IT, MAN.
IT'S HIS DEAD RAT, NOT YOURS.
WELL, HERE.
**
WHAT'S UP?
GOT A BIG BOX FOR YOU.
THIS IS CHARLIE'S NEW ENGINE.
SO CHARLIE'S ENGINE
JUST CAME IN.
IT'S A RIP ROARING 383 STROKER.
COMES WITH A WARRANTY,
WHICH IS GOOD FOR HIM.
WE'RE GOING TO PUT THIS SUCKER
IN AND SEE HOW IT RUNS.
THIS IS GOING TO BE
PRETTY GOOD.
383 STROKER, PROBABLY GOT
450 HORSEPOWER, I'M THINKING.
I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE
THE PERFECT BALANCE
OF POWER AND RELIABILITY
FOR THE GUY
WHO HAS A HORRIBLE HISTORY
FOR BLOWING UP MOTORS.
FIRST WE'VE GOT
TO PAINT IT GOLD.
PAINT IT GOLD?
HE WANTS EVERYTHING GOLD.
I FIGURED WE CAN DO
THE ENGINE GOLD.
THAT'S AN EASY ONE.
WHEN CHARLIE POPS OPEN
THAT HOOD, I WANT A SEA OF BLACK
WITH A BIG HUNK
OF GOLD IN THE MIDDLE.
IF CHARLIE WANTS
MORE GOLD ON HIS CAR,
WE'RE GIVING CHARLIE MORE GOLD.
IT'LL LOOK GOOD.
BLACK ENGINE COMPARTMENT,
GLOWING GOLD ENGINE.
HE'LL LOVE IT.
LET'S GET THE ENGINE STAND.
GET THIS THING LOADED UP,
SENT OVER TO JASON.
**
WE HAVE A FACTORY SEAT
FOR A 1957 CHEVY.
WE'VE HAD A COUPLE
OF FRIENDS IN HERE.
MICE OVER HERE MADE
A LITTLE CONDO.
THIS COULD PROBABLY BE THE LAST
PERSON THAT WAS IN THE TRUNK.
OH, MY GOD.
YOU GOT SOMETHING YOU
WANT TO TELL ME?
NO.
I'M PRETTY SURE THIS THING
COULD QUALIFY AS A BIO-HAZARD.
WE'LL GET RID OF ALL THIS
STUFF THAT'S CORRODED
OR JUST NASTY SMELLING.
THE SPRINGS ARE STILL IN TACT.
I'LL GO AHEAD AND PUT
SOME NEW FOAM ON IT.
PUT SOME FOAM OVER THE TOP.
SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN. THE BIGGEST
THING WITH THIS INTERIOR
IS A RETRO LOOK,
LIKE A TIME CAPSULE INTERIOR.
ALL NEW STUFF OF COURSE.
OKAY.
IF YOU FEEL YOURSELF
START ITCHING, WE KNOW WHY.
STAY AWAY FROM ME.
IT'S GOT FLEAS?
I DON'T HAVE TIME
TO GET FLEAS AGAIN.
OH, NO.
ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU.
IT'S LIKE A BOWL OF CEREAL
IN HERE, MAN.
CAP'N CRUNCH.
THIS IS FOAM.
NO SPRING LEFT IN THAT.
[LAUGHS]
SO WE'LL GET RID OF ALL
THIS OTHER STUFF, CLEAN IT UP.
WE'LL ADD SOME NEW FOAM,
AND THAT'S ACTUALLY PART
OF YOUR NEW CAR SMELL,
WHICH WOULD BE THE FOAM.
JUST USE THIS LAYER HERE
TO KIND OF COVER THE SPRINGS.
KEEP IT FROM DIGGING
INTO THE REAL FOAM.
THIS IS MORE OF THE FOAM THAT
YOU'RE GOING TO BE SITTING ON.
AND THEN WE'LL HAVE A TOP LAYER
WHICH WILL TAKE
ALL THE HARD EDGES
OFF THE FOAM UNDERNEATH
AND GIVE YOU MORE OF YOUR SHAPE.
REAL CLOSE TO WHAT
THEY HAD BACK IN 1957.
IT'S GOING TO BE SO MUCH BETTER
WITHOUT THE MOUSE POO IN IT.
**
SO GUESS WHY WE'RE HERE?
WE'RE GOING TO TURN
THIS INTO A TRIUMPH.
WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING
TO FINISH THIS CAR.
OH WE ARE?
SO THE '69 CAMARO HAS
A PRETTY INTERESTING STORY.
I HAD THIS CLIENT
FROM EASTERN EUROPE.
I'VE NEVER MET
THE CLIENT IN PERSON.
I'VE NEVER TALKED TO HIM
ON THE PHONE.
IT'S ALL EMAIL CORRESPONDENCE.
HE ORDERED THE CAR,
I INSPECTED IT OUT FOR HIM,
I SENT HIM PICTURES,
HE SENDS PAYMENT,
AND THEN WE'RE ALMOST DONE
WITH THE CAR,
HE DISAPPEARS OFF
THE FACE OF THE EARTH.
SO COULD YOU BELIEVE
AFTER AN ENTIRE YEAR,
THIS GUY SHOWS BACK UP,
HE SENT ME
ALL THESE PICTURES
OF BENTLEY INTERIORS.
SO ALTHOUGH THIS IS
A WILD PRO TOURING CAR,
IT ALSO HAS TO BE
VERY VERY LUXURIOUS.
AND HE WANTS THE CAR
IN SIX WEEKS.
SIX WEEKS?
WE'VE GOT SIX WEEKS.
WE'VE BEEN WORKING
ON THIS CAR FOR YEARS.
BUT THIS CAMARO STILL
NEEDS THE ENGINE PUT IN.
IT NEEDS ALL THE INTERIOR DONE.
IT NEEDS THE GLASS PUT IN,
PLUMBING, EVERYTHING.
YOU DON'T WANT TO MESS
NO QUALITY, YOU KNOW.
THE WHOLE THING
IS ALL ABOUT QUALITY.
AND SIX WEEKS IS GOING
TO CRUNCH ON IT BUT...
WHAT DID HE SAY WHEN
HE WAS ON THE PHONE?
I HAVEN'T TALKED TO THE GUY
ON THE PHONE, EVER.
I MEAN I DON'T CARE IF THE GUY
COMES IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE.
HOW DID YOU GET SIX WEEKS?
YEAH, HOW'D YOU GET THAT?
HE SENT ME AN EMAIL.
IT'S ALL EMAILS.
HE'S JUST PUSHING US
TO GET IT DONE FASTER.
HERE'S WHAT WE'VE GOT TO DO.
SO WE'RE GOING TO KEEP
THE EXTERIOR AS IS,
BUT THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT,
WAY TOO DULL.
I WANT TO GO WITH A SEMI-GLOSS
AND A METALLIC UNDERNEATH THAT.
TO GIVE THIS CLIENT THE POWER
THAT HE WANTS,
I DECIDED ON
A SHAFIROFF RACING
540 CUBIC INCH BIG BLOCK MOTOR
THAT DELIVERS 625 HORSEPOWER
WITH A CUSTOM
BUILT TURBO 400 TRANSMISSION.
WE'LL MAKE THE WHOLE
ENGINE COMPARTMENT POP.
THAT'S A LITTLE
MORE UP TO DATE.
IT'S WAY MORE UP TO DATE.
THE CAR IS PRETTY CUTTING EDGE,
WHICH IS GOOD.
THE INTERIOR,
WE HAD A GOOD PLAN.
SO, THE INTERIOR NEEDS
TO BE SLEEK, LUXURIOUS,
AND HE WANTS IT ORANGE,
LIKE KIND OF THE COLOR
OF A BASKETBALL.
PAUL'S GOING TO HAVE TO WIRE
THE WHOLE CARE STILL.
BEYOND THAT, WE'LL ADD SOME
SERIOUS TEST DRIVE TIME IN IT,
BUT ONCE WE GET
EVERYTHING SET UP AGAIN,
I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE
A NICE CAR.
WE ONLY GOT SIX WEEKS.
I BETTER GO START FINDING
THE PARTS NOW.
YEAH. GO DIG.
GET AFTER IT.
**
PURE AMERICAN BALL IS GOING
TO BE FLOATING AROUND RUSSIA.
WE'RE GOING TO DROP THIS BIG
BLOCK INTO THIS CHASSIS HERE.
YEAH, THIS BAD BOY...
SHOULD REALLY RUN THIS THING.
THE GUY FROM RUSSIA, HE WANTED
REAL AMERICAN HORSEPOWER,
SO WHAT WE OPTED TO GO
WITH WAS
A SHAFIROFF RACING
540 CUBIC INCH BIG BLOCK.
THIS THING IS GOING TO BE
EATING THE ****
OUT OF THE TIRES.
THERE'S MINE.
LOOK AT THAT.
THAT'S HOW YOU DO IT, MAN.
RIGHT ON THE MONEY.
THAT OKAY THERE?
NO SCRATCHES HERE.
NONE OVER HERE EITHER.
BUT WE AIN'T DONE YET.
THE TRANNY WE'RE
INSTALLING HERE IS A TURBO 400.
SHE'S A GOOD ONE.
YOU AIN'T GOING NOWHERE
WITHOUT NO DRIVE SHAFT.
SEXY.
THEY ACTUALLY FIT.
BOOYAH.
THAT LOOKS GOOD.
IT'S KIND OF
A SELF-PRIDE THING FOR ME
IS TO HIDE AS MUCH AS I CAN HIDE
WHEN YOU POP THE HOOD
TO LOOK AT THE MOTOR.
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT
TO SEE IS THE MOTOR,
NOT ALL THE BULL ****
THAT MAKES THE MOTOR RUN.
I TRY TO TAKE MY TIME AND ROUTE
EVERYTHING THROUGH THE INTAKE
OR THROUGH THE FRAME
OR MAKE LITTLE BRACKETS
AND RUN ****
UNDERNEATH THE HEADERS.
ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO GET
THE STUFF OUT OF YOUR EYE,
MAKES YOUR PROJECT A WHOLE LOT
BETTER LOOKING WHEN IT'S DONE.
OH, MAN, THIS THING'S HEAVY.
WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO
IS GET THAT REMOTE START,
FILL THE CARBURETOR UP WITH GAS
AND HOPEFULLY SHE COMES TO LIFE.
CARB CLEAR ALWAYS HELPS
JUST A HAIR.
ALL RIGHT, WHENEVER
YOU'RE READY.
[ MOTOR CRANKS ]
DO IT AGAIN.
DO IT AGAIN.
[ ENGINE CRANKS ]
ALL RIGHT.
NO ONE WANTS TO FEEL IT
SHAKING HERE.
I FELT IT SHAKE MY OFFICE.
THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH.
RUSSIA DON'T KNOW
WHAT'S COMING FOR THEM.
THEY MIGHT NOT EVEN
LET THIS CAR IN.
DO YOU KNOW THAT THE TARIFF
FOR THIS ENGINE
SIZE TO GET IT INTO THAT COUNTRY
IS $54,000?
REALLY?
YES.
JUST BECAUSE HE'S GOT THE BIG
DISPLACEMENT,
THEY WANT 54 GRAND?
GONNA SPANK HIM, THEN SNAP HIM
WITH THE WETTEST TOWEL.
IT'S NOT PRETTY,
BUT SOUNDS GOOD.
SO GOOD JOB.
YUP.
CONTINUE ON.
**
WE'VE GOT CHARLIE'S
383 STROKER HERE,
GETTING READY TO DO SOME PREP
ON IT AND GET IT IN THE BOOTH.
WE'RE GOING TO DO
A LITTLE GOLD ON IT
BECAUSE YOU KNOW HOW MUCH
CHARLIE LOVES GOLD.
SO LET'S GO GET IT IN THE BOOTH
AND START PREPPING IT UP.
JUST GOT DONE PUTTING
ON AN EPOXY PRIMER.
THE REASON WHY WE PUT
THE EPOXY PRIMER ON IT,
IS SO IT CAN HOLD THE HEAT
AND STILL STAY SHINY AND GLOSS
LIKE THE REST OF THE CAR LOOKS.
IF YOU EVER ARE PAINTING AN
ENGINE, YOU WANT TO USE EPOXY.
EPOXY IS JUST WHAT BITES
INTO THE METAL.
PLUS, IT ALSO HOLDS AND TAKES
THE HEAT VERY VERY WELL.
THIS IS A GOLD THAT
I'M GOING TO PUT DOWN
THAT I ACTUALLY REALLY LIKE
THAT I ACTUALLY HOPE
THAT CHARLIE DIGS TOO
BECAUSE IT KIND OF GOES
WITH THE REST OF THE GOLD
THAT HE HAS ON HIS CAR.
NOW THAT'S A GOOD
LOOKING GOLD NOW.
**
CHARLIE IS GOING TO DRIVE
THE CRAP OUT OF THIS CAR,
SO WE'VE GOT TO MAKE SURE
THAT EVERYTHING WE PUT IN,
PARTS AND QUALITY
AND LABOR'S ALL GOT
TO BE TOP NOTCH,
OR HE'S GOING TO BREAK IT.
AH, DAMN, SEE,
THIS IS WHAT I SAY, MAN.
YUP.
THIS THING'S ALREADY BEEN
MODIFIED LIKE A MOTHER ****.
BECAUSE IT ALREADY HAD
A COILOVER SUSPENSION
AND A 4-LINK SETUP,
THEY HAD ALREADY
PUT LIKE MORE OF
A PRO STREET STYLE
FRAME, BRACKETS,
AND CROSSMEMBERS IN HERE.
SO WE GOT TO CUT OUR FRAME BACK
DOWN TO A STOCK LOOKING FRAME
AND GET RID OF THE CROSSMEMBERS
THAT ARE IN THERE
BEFORE WE CAN PUT
OUR NEW KIT IN.
IF THE GUY HAD A SQUEAK
COMPLAINT, I THINK I FOUND IT.
THE NEW SETUP'S
COMPLETELY DIFFERENT
THAN WHAT WE'RE CUTTING OUT.
WHAT WE'RE CUTTING OUT
WAS MORE LIKE A OLD STYLE,
OLD TECHNOLOGY.
EVERYTHING NOWADAYS IS A LITTLE
LIGHTER, BUT STILL STRONGER.
ALL RIGHT, SO WE GOT
ALL THE CROSSMEMBERS
AND ALL THE BRACKETS
ON TO THE FRAME.
NOW IT'S TIME TO PUT OUR LINK
BARS AND SETUP THE GEOMETRY.
LET'S THROW IT ON HERE
AND ROCK 'N ROLL.
ALL RIGHT.
**
THINKING WE'RE RIGHT
ON SCHEDULE,
WE'RE GOING TO GET
THIS CAR ON ITS FEET
AND GET IT OUT OF HERE,
AND THEN BAM.
WE'VE GOT A LOT OF WORK
AHEAD OF US.
WE'RE COMPLETELY ****.
**
WE'RE COMPLETELY ****
WITH THIS REAR END.
YOU SEE HOW THE COILOVERS
ARE HITTING THAT BRACKET
ON THE BACK?
OH, YEAH.
OUR BUILT-IN 4-LINK IS GREAT.
IT WOULD HOLD A STOCK REAR END
RIGHT IN PLACE JUST PERFECT.
BUT WITH THE BIG REINFORCEMENTS
GOING ACROSS THE BACK,
THERE'S NO WAY
TO PUT THE COILOVERS
WHERE THEY NEED TO BE.
SO DO WE MODIFY THE UPPER
BRACKETS AND PUT THEM FORWARD?
OR DO WE MODIFY THE REAR END?
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE UP AGAINST.
YOU SEE THAT BIG BRACE
ALL THE WAY ACROSS?
FACTORY REAR END
WON'T HAVE THAT.
YOU'RE AT 9 AND 3/4?
I'M AT 8 AND 3/4.
BOTTOM LINE IS, WE'VE GOT
TO TAKE THE REAR END BACK OUT,
WE'VE GOT TO DO SOME MODIFYING
TO THE BRACKETS
TO THE REAR END,
DO SOME CUTTING.
WE'LL COME BACK AT IT AGAIN.
GRIND SOME OF THAT OFF,
CLEAN IT UP,
PUT A **** CAP
ON IT, BAM BAM.
AND ONCE THE SHOCKS ARE HERE,
IT'LL LOOK LIKE IT
WAS ALL MADE TO BE.
OH, YEAH.
THAT'LL LOOK WICKED.
SIMPLEST WAY I COULD THINK OF.
**
SO WE'VE GOT
THE BACK BRACE HERE
NOTCHED OUT
FOR THE SHOCK CLEARANCE.
WE'RE GOING TO MOVE THESE
INBOARD A LITTLE BIT HERE.
AND THEN I'LL GET THESE
TACKED UP ON THE AXLE HOUSING
AND THEN GET IT UP IN THE CAR.
GET IT ALL CENTERED
RIGHT THERE.
RIGHT THERE IS REALLY CLOSE,
AS LONG AS WE'RE CENTERED.
ALL RIGHT, ALL THE MEASUREMENTS
ARE GOOD.
WE'VE GOT OUR THINGS ALL TACKED
ON, WE'RE GOING TO DROP IT OUT,
TAKE IT TO THE BENCH,
BURN THEM IN GOOD,
THROW IT BACK IN AFTER
WE GET IT PAINTED.
WE'RE DONE.
THERE IT IS.
HOT, SWEET, AND STICKY.
SO WHEN YOU BUILD
A 383 STROKER ENGINE,
YOU GET EXTRA DISPLACEMENT
BY INCREASING THE STROKE.
SO YOU TAKE A 350 BLOCK
AND A 400 CRANK, AND BOOM.
MORE CUBIC INCHES.
AND WITH MORE CUBIC INCHES
COMES MORE GAS, AND MORE AIR,
AND THEREFORE MORE POWER.
WE'RE GOING TO TAKE IT
IN SIDEWAYS, WE HOPE,
CLEAR EVERYTHING,
THEN WE'LL TWIST IT STRAIGHT.
IF WE CAN GET IT
IN BELOW THE...
NOW WE'RE GETTING CLOSE
TO THE MASTER CYLINDER.
CLEAR?
YUP.
HERE IT GOES.
COME DOWN A LITTLE BIT.
LITTLE BIT MORE.
WANT MORE?
WHOA! WHOA!
WHAT?
WHAT, WHAT, WHAT?
JUST GETTING TIGHT.
LET'S REEVALUATE FOR A SECOND.
WE ALMOST NEED SOMEONE ELSE
TO LIFT THE CHERRY PICKER.
THEN I CAN HOLD UP AND TILT IT.
YEAH WE DO. WE NEED SOME HELP.
ERIC!
CAN YOU HELP US REAL QUICK?
YOU ROCK.
WHAT'S HAPPENING, GENTS?
OH.
GUYS GOT YOURSELVES
IN A LITTLE HOLE.
BETTER NOT SCRATCH ANYTHING,
ERIC.
WE'RE SO CLOSE.
LIFT UP MORE.
I COULD ACTUALLY
HELP IF YOU GUYS...
DO YOU WANT HELP?
CAN YOU PUSH IT BACK
JUST A FUZZ?
IT'S JUST...
GENTLE.
THIS THIS HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN.
PERFECTO!
PERFECTO!
LET HER DOWN JUST REAL SLOW.
WE'RE PAST OUR OBSTACLE.
WE'RE PUTTING A CHEVY
SMALL BLOCK
INTO A RATHER LARGE
ENGINE COMPARTMENT.
WE SHOULD NOT BE
HAVING ANY ISSUES,
BUT WE ARE FIGHTING
THIS THING LEFT AND RIGHT.
MAYBE IF YOU LOWERED
THE TRANNY A HAIR.
ALL RIGHT, TAKE IT UP
JUST A HALF A PUMP OR SO.
IT NEEDS TO SLIDE OVER
DOWN THIS WAY.
READY?
YEAH, A LITTLE BIT...
- GETTING CLOSER.
- THERE IT IS.
THERE IT WENT.
THERE YOU GO, I JUST PRIED ON
THIS UP HERE.
THIS SIDE SLID ON MORE.
ONE IN.
GOOD JOB, ERIC.
TWO IN.
FINALLY.
BYE, FELICIA!
ALL RIGHT, WE GOT IT IN.
LOOKS GOOD GUYS.
IT ONLY TOOK SEVEN GUYS
AND FOURTEEN HOURS.
THIS ONE'S A BITCH.
WITHOUT ERIC'S LITTLE
NIMBLE HANDS
WE WOULD HAVE NEVER PROBABLY
BEEN ABLE TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.
ERIC, YOU GET TO
DO THE HONORS.
GRAB THOSE DICE FOR ME, DUSTIN.
THESE DICE?
THOSE ARE THE ONES.
FUZZY DICE MIGHT BELONG
IN SOMEONE ELSE'S CAR,
BUT IN THE CARS WE DO, HELL NO.
THIS IS A TIME HONORED TRADITION
AT CLASSIC CAR STUDIO.
THOSE FUZZY DICE
AROUND THE MIRROR,
I THROW IT UP IN THE RAFTERS.
AH!
NEXT!
YOU CAN DO IT.
LOOK AT THAT!
THANK YOU.
I'LL BE ON THE BENCH
IF YOU NEED ME.
THAT WAS A GOOD TOSS.
PEACE, GENTLEMEN.
**
WE'VE GOT OUR PARTS
FROM CLASSIC INDUSTRIES.
SO THE CLIENT OF THIS '69 CAMARO
WANTS A FULL LUXURIOUS
BENTLEY INSPIRED INTERIOR.
AND NO BENTLEY IS GOING
TO HAVE CRANK WINDOWS.
SO WE'RE GOING TO UPGRADE
TO A FULL POWER WINDOW SETUP.
'67/'69 CAMARO
WINDOW ASSEMBLY.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE AFTER.
WE'VE GOT THE WEATHERSTRIPPING,
WE'VE GOT THE GLASS
AND WE'VE GOT THE INSIDE TRACKS.
WIRE UP MY BOMB HERE.
ALL RIGHT, COMING DOWN.
THANK YOU, MAN.
- NO PROBLEM.
WE'VE GOT THE GLASS IN THE HOLE,
DIDN'T GET NO BREAKS.
GOT ALL BRAND NEW TRACK,
BRAND NEW POWER MOTOR,
BRAND NEW EVERYTHING.
GLASS DROPPED DOWN
NICE AND EASY.
ON TO THE NEXT DOOR.
ALL RIGHT, SO THINGS ARE
COMING ALONG NICELY HERE.
WE'VE GOT ALL THE SUSPENSION ON.
THIS IS GOING TO HANDLE
LIKE A DREAM.
TODAY I HAD CHARLIE
AND HIS WIFE, ANNIE,
COME BY BECAUSE I THINK CHARLIE
IS MORE INTO
THE PERFORMANCE STUFF.
HIS WIFE IS DEFINITELY
WEARING THE SHOES
IN THE DESIGN DEPARTMENT.
WE'VE GOT THE WHEELS IN,
BUT I'VE GOT THEM HERE
BECAUSE I DON'T THINK
THEY'RE THE GOLD
THAT YOU'RE GOING
TO ACTUALLY WANT.
YEAH, THOSE AREN'T GOLD.
THAT'S LIKE CREAM OR...
IT'S A FUNNY COLOR.
IT'S BEIGE.
IF I WANT A KNOCKDOWN COLOR,
I'LL SAY THAT.
BUT IF I SAID GOLD, I WANT GOLD.
ARE THESE MY CHOICES?
THESE ARE YOUR CHOICES.
EVERYBODY LIKE CHOICES.
EVERYBODY LIKES CHOICES.
ALL RIGHT, GIVE ME THE ONES
YOU REALLY DON'T LIKE
AND WE'LL NARROW IT DOWN.
WELL THAT'S CHOCOLATE BROWN,
SO THAT'S RIDICULOUS.
CHOCOLATE BROWN IS OUT.
I DON'T WANT CHOCOLATE BROWN.
I WANT GOLD, LIKE THIS GOLD.
IT'S PRETTY GOLD.
IT'S A LITTLE BRONZEY.
THAT'S A LITTLE MUSTARDY.
YOU KEEP THIS...
I'M GOING TO PICK THIS.
ALL RIGHT, SORRY.
SHE'S GOT THIS AESTHETIC,
LIKE THIS EYE TO HER
THAT WILL TRANSCEND
ACROSS EVERYTHING.
THAT'S BETTER.
THAT'S GOLD.
WAIT, I'M NOT SUPPOSED
TO GIVE YOU THAT.
YOU HOLD THE GOOD ONES, OKAY?
THIS IS AWFUL.
THIS IS SOME SORT OF...
WHAT DO WE CALL THAT, CAMEL?
NO, IT'S NOT GOLD.
I DO TEND TO GET
A LITTLE TUNED UP ABOUT COLOR.
THE EXACT COLOR, THE EXACT
BLACK, THE EXACT SHEEN,
ALL THAT FOR ME
IS REALLY REALLY IMPORTANT.
WHY IS THIS EVEN
IN THE GOLD PACKAGE?
IT'S A FLAT COLOR.
THIS IS BETTER.
I LIKE HOW SHINY THAT ONE IS.
AND IT LOOKS LIKE GOLD.
GOLD.
WE'VE GOT A WINNER.
TOTALLY.
SEE?
THAT WAS PAINLESS.
INTERIOR.
WE WERE JUST GOING CLASSIC BEL
AIR STYLE BLACK INTERIOR
UNLESS YOU HAD ANY OBJECTIONS?
I'M THINKING WE OUGHT
TO SWITCH IT UP A LITTLE BIT.
PUT SOME LCD MONITORS IN THERE.
OH, FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE.
GET SOMETHING FLASHY.
YOU'RE JOKING.
OPEN THE DOOR,
EVERYTHING LIGHTS UP.
YOU'RE JOKING.
CAN WE MAKE THE DOORS
OPEN UP LIKE THIS?
- IT IS A '57 CHEVY.
THE LINES AREN'T GOING
TO CHANGE.
IT'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE
A '57 CHEVY.
BUT IF YOU GET INSIDE THE CAR
AND IF WE START PUTTING UP
WEIRD LIGHTS AND STUFF
THAT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THERE,
IT'S NOT GOING TO FEEL
LIKE A '57 CHEVY ANYMORE.
BUT EVERYTHING ELSE INSIDE,
RIGHT?
YEAH, WE'LL STAY ORIGINAL.
ANOTHER DREAM CRUSHED.
ALL RIGHT,
SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN.
THANK YOU, I APPRECIATE IT.
THANK YOU, NOAH.
THANK YOU, BABY.
IT LOOKS GREAT.
THE CUSTOMER
ON THE '69 CAMARO,
HE WANTED A CUSTOM SHEET
METAL DASH
AND THAT'S KIND OF ABOUT
WHERE HE LEFT IT OFF,
OTHER THAN HE WANTED
A EUROPEAN FEEL.
SO I LOOKED AT SOME
OF THE EUROPEAN CARS
AROUND HERE TO TRY AND FIND OUT
WHAT A EUROPEAN
DASH CONSISTS OF.
AND WHAT I GATHERED WAS THEY
ALL HAD A THREE VENT CENTERPIECE
AND THEY ALL HAD
A BIG INDIVIDUAL-GAUGE
GAUGE POD SETUP.
YEAH, I'M PROUD OF IT.
IT'S A PRETTY COOL PIECE,
LOTS OF CUTS, LOTS OF SHAPING,
AND LOTS OF WELDING,
BUT I THINK IT'LL DO US WELL.
WE BOUGHT A DIRECT FIT
'69 CAMARO WIRING KIT
AND WE GOT A CUSTOM MADE DASH
WITH CUSTOM GAUGES,
SO OBVIOUSLY **** LIKE THIS
AIN'T GOING TO GO IN THIS DASH,
SO WE'VE GOT TO MAKE UP
OUR OWN WIRING.
HOLY...
**
OH, JESUS.
THEY'RE GOING TO LOVE THAT.
THAT WAS THE GOAL TODAY
WHEN I CAME TO WORK.
I'M GOING TO SHOW THESE MOTHER
**** HOW TO CRASH AND BURN.
IT BOUNCED.
PROBABLY HAVE TO BLAST
THE WHOLE **** THING DOWN.
WHERE DO YOU WANT
YOUR LAST CHECK SENT?
JUST DIRECT DEPOSIT.
HEY, MARK.
I WANT TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING.
WHY?
WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH IT?
SCOTT DROPPED IT.
BRING THAT CAN OVER HERE
FOR A MINUTE.
THAT'S WHERE IT NEEDS
TO GO RIGHT NOW.
HOLY ****.
IT'S ALL CRACKED HERE,
ALL DOWN THROUGH HERE
WHERE'D HE DROP IT
FROM, THE ROOF?
SO IT'S ****.
WE'VE GOT A LOT OF CRACKS
TO FIX ON THIS THING.
IT'S THE LAST THING
WE NEED RIGHT NOW TOO.
I'M GOING TO GO HOME
AND CRY RIGHT NOW.
SORRY, MAN.
WE DON'T EVEN HAVE A GUY
WE CAN PUT ON IT RIGHT NOW.
THE METAL'S BROKE RIGHT THERE.
IT CRACKED OVER HERE TOO.
LET'S JUST GET THE FILLER
STRIPPED AWAY
AND SEE WHAT WE HAVE TO WELD UP.
WE'RE JUST GOING TO HAVE
TO MAKE REPAIRS TO IT.
SORRY, GUYS.
ALL RIGHT.
WHAT WE'RE HERE FOR.
TRY NOT TO KILL SCOTT.
WE'RE ALL A TEAM.
**** HAPPENS.
YEAH.
THANKS FOR THE GOOD NEWS.
ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU.
YOU'RE NOT WELCOME.
I COULD HAVE THROWN
THAT ACROSS THE SHOP
AND NOT HAVE ****
IT UP THAT BAD.
I DON'T KNOW.
SOMETHING GOING ON HERE.
**
THIS THING CAME OFF OF
THE BENCH,
DID A BOUNCE BOUNCE BOUNCE
ON THE GROUND
AND BUSTED ALL THE MUD
OUT OF IT.
SO WE'VE GOT TO GRIND IT ALL OUT
AND MUD IT UP AND START OVER.
WELL AT LEAST WE'RE NOT
STARTING OVER OVER.
THAT THING WAS PAINTED
AND READY TO GO.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO IT?
YOU HADN'T HEARD, HAD YOU?
NO ONE EVER TELLS ME
ANYTHING, APPARENTLY.
SCOTT GOT ****
THREW IT DOWN FROM THE ROOF.
NO, IT FELL OFF HIS BENCH
WHEN HE WAS WIRING IT.
WHAT THE ****.
YEAH.
NIGHTMARE.
THE WORST TIMING.
I HOPE HE WAS CRYING.
I THINK SO.
HE FEELS PRETTY BAD ALREADY.
HE CAME OVER HERE
AFTER A LITTLE BIT
AND HE WAS JUST
SHAKING HIS HEAD.
HE DESTROYED IT.
WE DON'T HAVE THE TIME
OR BUDGET TO REDO THE DASH.
IT TOOK A MONTH TO MAKE
IN THE FIRST PLACE.
RIGHT.
THIS IS A FREAKING DISASTER.
**
SCOTT, FOR YOU.
COOL.
HE SPENT ALL DAY
SATURDAY ON THIS THING.
HE DID ALL THIS WORK,
NICE BEAUTIFUL WORK TO IT
AND YOU THROW IT ON THE FLOOR.
I KNOW MAN,
IT CRUSHED MY HEART.
I APPRECIATE YOU THROWING AWAY
YOUR SATURDAY
TO GET IT ALL BACK ON TRACK.
NAH, IT'S ALL RIGHT.
I'LL DO THAT FOR YOU ANY TIME.
YOU KNOW THAT.
SO LET'S GET IT IN.
WOULD YOU MIND HELPING ME
GET IT IN?
WANT ME TO HELP YOU?
ALL RIGHT.
YOU'VE GOT TO COME IN MORE.
OKAY, WE'RE ALIGNED.
COOL MAN.
IT LOOKS GOOD, DOESN'T IT?
OUR CUSTOMER WANTS
SOME HIGH END CRAZY
DESIGN WORK ON THIS INTERIOR.
BUT WE'RE GOING TO KNOCK
IT OUT OF THE PARK.
I KNOW MY GUYS CAN HANDLE IT.
IT'S GOING TO LOOK
FREAKING PHENOMENAL.
THIS IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT
BECAUSE IT IS LEATHER,
SO IT'S EVEN
A LITTLE MORE NERVE RACKING.
QUITE A CHALLENGE.
WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET
TO THIS CAR TO TEST-FIT IT
AS OFTEN AS I NORMALLY LIKE.
IT'LL FIT.
I JUST NEED TO MOVE THE TABS
OUT A LITTLE BIT
AND THEN WE'LL GET IT
TO FIT REALLY EASY.
BUT FOR NOW WE'LL GO AHEAD
AND PUT THE OTHER SEAT IN JUST
SO WE CAN SEE
IF THERE'S ANY ADJUSTMENTS
REQUIRED ON THAT TOO.
OH YEAH, IT'S COZY.
I JUST DON'T HAVE TIME
TO ENJOY THEM.
GOT TO GO GET
THE FRONT SEATS NOW.
I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY NOTICED
THIS YET OR NOT,
BUT THIS BUMPER
IS TILTED DOWN ON THIS SIDE
AND IT LOOKS LIKE
IT'S BENT RIGHT HERE.
I DON'T KNOW IF THEY WANT
TO FIX THAT.
WELL WHILE WE GO IT
IN HERE OR NOT.
HEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
LOOKING AT THIS BUMPER.
IT'S BENT.
DID YOU GUYS NOTICE THAT?
YOUR HEAD'S JUST
TILTED THAT WAY.
NAH. MY HEAD'S STRAIGHT
AS CAN BE.
OKAY.
WHAT'S YOUR DIAGNOSIS?
IT'S BENT RIGHT HERE.
YEAH.
THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF
A BUCKLE IN THE FRAME,
JUST THE VERY BACK
FEW INCHES OF THE FRAME.
OH, YEAH.
WE CAN PULL THE BUMPER
OFF PRETTY EASY.
WE'RE GOING TO DO EVERYTHING
WE CAN TO STRAIGHTEN
THIS PIECE OUT AND REUSE IT.
AND HOPEFULLY
THE CHROME HOLDS UP.
THAT'S THE ONE THING
THAT WE'RE WORRIED ABOUT.
WHENEVER YOU TRY TO STRAIGHTEN
SOMETHING OUT THAT'S CHROME,
YOU HAVE TO GO REALLY SLOW
SO YOU DON'T CRACK ANYTHING.
OH, LOOK AT THAT.
YEAH.
WE'RE GOING TO TRY AND PUT IT
IN A PRESS AND ACTUALLY PUSH
DOWN RIGHT HERE.
HAVE A LITTLE MORE CONTROL
THAN TRYING TO DO IT
UNDERNEATH THE CAR.
WHAT ARE YOU THINKING, DAN?
I JUST THINK
THE CHROME'S GOING TO POP.
DON'T SAY THAT.
BE POSITIVE.
YOU'VE MET ME, RIGHT?
PUT THIS UNDERNEATH THERE.
YEAH, SO WHEN IT'S SET
IN HERE,
YOU CAN REALLY SEE
HOW BOWED THIS IS RIGHT THERE.
THAT'S A LONG WAY
TO GO, I THINK,
WITHOUT POPPING THE CHROME
BUT WE'LL SEE.
SO AT CLASSIC CAR STUDIO WE HAVE
SOME OF THE COOLEST CARS
ON THE PLANET
THAT COME THROUGH THIS PLACE.
NICE MUSCLE CARS,
PRO TOURING CARS, HOT RODS.
BUT THE ONE THAT REALLY
STANDS OUT IS NOAH'S ARK.
IT'S PROBABLY BY SIZE,
THE SMALLEST VEHICLE THAT WE'VE
HAD IN HERE, BUT IT'S THE BEST.
AND THIS IS THE LAMBORGHINI
OF FLOOR SWEEPERS RIGHT HERE.
THIS THING HAS
A FULL 1 HORSEPOWER.
IT HAS A 260 RPM BRUSH MOTOR
ON IT,
HAS A FULL 28-INCH SPAN
OF FLOOR SCRUBBING POWER.
THAT'S ENOUGH FOR NOAH TO BE
ABLE TO GET UP TO
ABOUT 4 MILE PER HOUR.
YEAH, I SAID
4 MILE PER HOUR.
FLOOR SWEEPER, SCRUBBER
OR NOT, WE NEED TO CUSTOMIZE IT.
BUT APPARENTLY NOAH THINKS THIS
THING'S ALREADY THE CAT'S ASS
AND WE DON'T NEED TO DO
ANYTHING TO IT.
**
WHEN NOAH CRUISES BY ON
NOAH'S ARK,
IT JUST MAKES ME
FEEL HAPPY FOR HIM.
HE'S IN HIS ELEMENT,
HE'S OUT THERE, HE'S HAVING FUN.
HE FORGETS ABOUT ALL THE DAILY
PROBLEMS THAT GO ON.
HE'S JUST OUT THERE
DRIFTING AROUND.
AND HEY, IF HE'S HAPPY,
WE'RE ALL HAPPY.
**
CHARLIE'S '57 BEL AIR
IS ALMOST DONE
BUT DAN JUST CAUGHT THAT
THE REAR BUMPER WAS BENT
A LITTLE BIT.
SO DAN AND CHARLES
ARE GOING TO TRY AND FIX IT
WITHOUT POPPING THE CHROME.
LUCKILY FOR US, IT WAS JUST
THE BOARDS THAT COLLAPSED.
THANK GOODNESS IT WAS
NOT THE CHROME, BECAUSE I MEAN
THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE END
OF THE DAY FOR US ON THIS JOB.
NOTHING.
NOTHING, HUH?
IT'S THAT LAST LITTLE BIT
THAT'S GOING TO BE STUBBORN.
SO WE CAN PUSH DOWN HERE.
YEAH.
AND THEN LET'S
MOVE OUR WOOD AROUND.
HE SAID LET'S MOVE
OUR WOOD AROUND.
THAT'S PRETTY FUNNY.
GO AHEAD.
NOW WE'RE TALKING.
OKAY, LET THAT PRESSURE OFF
FOR A SECOND.
WE GOT IT.
DOWN THE EDGE IT'S STRAIGHT.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
IT LOOKS A LOT BETTER
THAN IT WAS.
I HOPE THIS THING FITS
ON HERE CORRECTLY.
I HOPE WE DIDN'T GO TOO FAR.
CHECK IT OUT MAN,
IT'S GOING TO WORK.
I THINK IT'S GOING TO...
WHOA, GOD YOU'VE GOT A VIOLENT
SIDE TO YOU, DON'T YOU?
IS YOUR BRACKET LOOSENED UP
TO WHERE WE CAN SLIDE
YOUR SIDE OUT AND MY SIDE IN?
MAN, I'M LOOKING AT MY
PRETTY FACE IN THE CHROME.
DON'T BE BOTHERING ME RIGHT NOW.
**
SO YOU'RE SURE IT'S FINISHED?
I'M POSITIVE.
DRIVE NICE?
IT DRIVES AWESOME.
THREE YEARS.
IT LOOKS LIKE A MILLION BUCKS.
IT'S FREAKING AWESOME.
AND IT ONLY COST HALF.
SO AFTER THREE YEARS
IT'S PRETTY CRAZY
TO ACTUALLY SEE
THE CAMARO GET COMPLETED.
THE WHEELS ON IT, THE INTERIOR
REALLY GLOWING THROUGH.
THE CAR'S GOT A WICKED STANCE,
A KILLER OVER-THE-TOP LOOK.
NO MATTER WHERE IT GOES,
PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE LOVE IT
AND BE DRAWN TO IT.
THE ORANGE INTERIOR REALLY
LOOKS GOOD OUT IN THE SUN.
IT POPS.
HE ASKED FOR A BENTLEY
INTERIOR AND I THINK HE GOT ONE.
BENTLEYS DON'T HAVE
LEATHER FLOORS.
THEY DON'T HAVE
LEATHER FLOORS.
WHAT YOU GOT, BENTLEY?
SCOTT'S CUSTOM DASH
TURNED OUT WELL.
I KNOW.
AND THEN ALL
THE CUSTOM BODY MODS.
THE ENTIRE BODY ON THIS CAR
IS CUSTOM ONE-OFF METAL WORK.
SO IT IS WHOLLY UNIQUE.
IT LOOKS PRETTY FREAKING FAST
JUST SITTING THERE.
IT DOES.
I WANT TO CHECK OUT
THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT.
IT'S GOT A SHAFIROFF
RACING MOTOR.
CLASSIC BIG BLOCK MOTOR
BUT THIS THING'S
LOADED FULL OF HIGH
PERFORMANCE STUFF.
MAKES 650 HORSEPOWER.
IT JUST FRICKING RIFFS.
MAN THIS THING
IS FREAKING KILLER.
AND EVEN ALL THE WAY UP
TO THESE DETAILS, YOU KNOW.
YOU THINK ABOUT HOW MUCH WORK
THAT TOOK TO PUT
ALL THESE LITTLE DETAILS
ON THE BOTTOM SIDE OF THAT HOOD.
ONE-OFF STUFF.
IT'S WHAT I LOVE.
WE NEED TO FRICKING DRIVE IT.
LET'S GO DRIVE IT.
[ENGINE REVS]
SOUNDS LIKE A BEAST.
SO I'VE NEVER TALKED
TO THIS CLIENT ON THE PHONE
AND I DON'T KNOW IF I EVER WILL.
BUT I MADE HIM PROMISE TO SEND
ME PHOTOS OF IT IN RUSSIA,
BECAUSE I WANT TO SEE THIS THING
ON THE STREETS THERE.
THAT'LL KIND OF BRING IT
ALL TOGETHER FOR ME.
I GUESS THIS IS GOODBYE
AFTER THREE LONG YEARS.
SHE'S GOT TO GO HOME
SOME TIME, SO...
SO WE'RE JUST GOING
TO LEAVE IT IN THE GARAGE?
YEAH, JUST GOT TO GIVE
THE KEYS TO THE ATTENDANT.
THEY'RE GOING TO SHIP IT.
OKAY.
IT'S KIND OF WEIRD
TO LEAVE IT LIKE THIS,
BUT I GUESS
THAT'S WHAT THEY WANT.
BYE LITTLE BUDDY.
SEE YOU LITTLE GUY.
I HOPE YOU HAVE A GOOD --
[ BOTH LAUGH ]
**
ALL RIGHT, SO WHAT I'M DOING
IS LAYING OUT A TEMPLATE PATTERN
AND I'M TRANSFERRING THIS
TO 16-GAUGE SHEET METAL.
AND WHAT IT'S GOING TO END UP
BEING IS A COVER
FOR A RADIATOR ON A '57 CHEVY.
THE HOOD ROLLS OVER REAL FAR,
SO A LOT OF RADIATOR
AND UGLY STUFF YOU DON'T CARE
TO SEE IS EXPOSED.
SO JUST A LITTLE FANCY PIECE,
JUST ALL EYE CANDY.
BUT THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL
ABOUT IN MY WORLD.
ALL RIGHT, SO WE'VE GOT OUR
PIECE ALL CUT OUT,
DIMPLED, DYED, BROKE.
THIS SURE LOOKS PRETTY
WHEN IT'S DONE.
**
SO A COUPLE MONTHS AGO CHARLIE
BROUGHT IN HIS '57 CHEVY.
TODAY WE'RE PUTTING ON
THE FINISHING TOUCHES TO MAKE IT
THE WILD TIRE BURN
HE'S BEEN WANTING.
WE'VE JUST GOT TO MOUNT
SOME SPEAKERS IN THE TRUNK
AND THEN CHARLIE CAN HAVE
HIS LITTLE TIME CAPSULE BACK.
I THINK THE FINAL TOUCH
TO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT
IS GOING TO LOOK KILLER.
SO THROW THESE ON AND WE'RE
GOING FOR A TEST DRIVE.
DELIVERING A CAR TO
THE CUSTOMER
IS THE BEST PART OF THIS JOB.
THEY'VE BEEN DREAMING
ABOUT THIS THING FOREVER.
WE PULLED OFF AN AWESOME JOB.
GIVE IT TO THEM SO THEY CAN
FRICKING HAUL ASS OUT OF HERE.
THERE'S NOTHING
BETTER THAN THAT.
THAT LOOKS AWESOME.
THE FONZ ROLLING UP HERE?
OH MY GOD.
IT -- OH, MY GOD,
I LOVE IT.
THAT'S GOOD.
NOAH!
HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM APPLES?
SERIOUSLY.
I LOVE THE GOLD FINS.
IT WAS LIKE CHRISTMAS
MORNING TIMES TEN.
I CAN'T EVEN TELL YOU.
I MEAN, THE STANCE IS KILLER.
I WAS REALLY TORN ON HOW
WE WERE GOING TO DO THE GOLD.
WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME
MIXING THE PAINT.
WE'VE GOT A BUNCH
OF FLAKE IN IT.
ADD IN A FLAT CLEAR
OVER THE TOP,
SO IT REALLY POPS
IN THE SUN AND SPARKLES.
I THINK IT'S SO CLASSY
AND BADASS.
IT'S PERFECTION.
IN THE PERFORMANCE DEPARTMENT,
WE HAVE A CRAZY
OVER-THE-TOP SUSPENSION,
COILOVER SHOCKS
ALL THE WAY AROUND.
THEY'RE FULLY ADJUSTABLE.
YOU CAN DIAL-IN
FOR HOW YOU WANT TO DRIVE.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN ADJUSTABLE?
FULLY ADJUSTABLE.
YOU CAN MAKE IT SOFTER.
YOU CAN MAKE IT RIDE HARDER.
YOU CAN MESS WITH THE HANDLING
ALL YOU WANT.
I'VE GOT IT DIALED IN
NICE AND STIFF
FOR OUR LITTLE
PERFORMANCE DRIVING.
I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU
WHAT THIS THING'S MADE OF.
MAYBE YOU CAN SHOW ME
WHAT IT'S MADE OF.
NO, NO, NO.
I'VE DONE THE BURNOUT TEST.
YES, IT WILL DO A BURNOUT.
IT'S FREAKING WICKED.
OUT BACK WE'VE GOT A KILLER
4-LINK KIT HOOKED UP
TO A COOLY CUSTOM
FABRICATED FULL 9-INCH.
IT IS BUILT TO THE HILT.
I KNOW HOW YOU WANT
TO DRIVE THIS THING.
I KNOW YOU'RE AN ANIMAL
ON THE STREET.
ALL YOU WANT TO DO IS GET
IN IT
AND JUST HAUL ASS
AS FAST AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN.
THE INTERIOR,
I KNOW YOU WANTED TO KEEP IT.
TOTAL CLASSIC STYLE INTERIOR.
I MEAN...
ALL ORIGINAL.
YEAH. YOU SAID TIME CAPSULE
AND I KEPT THAT IN MIND.
WE'VE GOT IT
COMPLETELY RESTORED.
THIS IS PERFECT.
YOU CAN DO THESE
A LOT OF DIFFERENT WAYS.
THIS IS PERFECT.
THIS IS SPECTACULAR.
HEY, LET'S CHECK OUT
THIS ENGINE.
OH, MY GOODNESS. DID YOU REDO
THE GRILL? OH, MY GOSH.
THE GRILL?
OH! [LAUGHS]
IT'S GOLD!
IT'S BEAUTIFUL!
THIS BIG GOLD NUGGET
SITTING RIGHT INSIDE OF THERE.
IT STILL LOOKS VINTAGE
LIKE IT'S SUPPOSED TO
BUT IT DOES
ALL THAT CRAZY STUFF.
IT'S JUST MODERN EVERYTHING.
IT'S PERFECT.
IT IS A MEAN STREET MOTOR.
470 HORSEPOWER, ALMOST 500 FOOT-
POUNDS OF TORQUE.
WE'VE GOT A MASSIVE ALUMINUM
RADIATOR, WE'VE GOT DUAL FANS,
WE'VE GOT FULL LENGTH HEADERS,
BRAND NEW
PERFORMANCE STEERING BOX.

BAY OF IT TOO.

YUP.
WE'VE GOT ALL THE FIREWALL
CLEANED UP,

WELLS CLEANED UP.
SCOTT TURNED OUT THIS BADASS
CUSTOM PIECE TO COVER IT UP
AND MAKE IT ALL LOOK CLEAN.
ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE.
IT'S SO GOOD.
I'M GLAD YOU GUYS LIKE IT.
IT'S MORE THAN WE COULD
HAVE EVER DREAMED OF.
IT'S AMAZING.
THE MOST FUN PART ABOUT THE CAR
IS THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE.
SO YOU JUST LET ME KNOW
WHEN YOU'RE READY.
I'M READY TO GO.
HONEY?
IS THAT OKAY?
I'LL WATCH.
YOU PUT A HELMET ON
AND STAND ON THE SIDELINES
BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO BE ROWDY.
BE CAREFUL.
NOAH.
IT'LL BE ALL RIGHT.
I'VE GOT THIS.
IT'S OKAY.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S DO THIS.
SHOW ME

IT GETS YOUR HEART PUMPING.
YEAH, THERE YOU GO.
OH, ****.
COULD NOT BE HAPPIER.
IT IS TRULY SOMETHING
THAT IS REMARKABLE.
AND WHAT WE LOVE MOST ABOUT IT,
IT'S THE ONLY ONE
IN THIS WORLD LIKE IT.
I HAVEN'T SEEN MY WIFE
THIS HAPPY IN QUITE SOME TIME.
SHE'S ECSTATIC.
SHE LOVES IT.
DOES IT HAVE A RADIO?
YES, IT DOES.
IT HAS A RADIO?
[SCREAMS] BABY, DON'T!
