...IS TRANSFORMED INTO
A RACE-WORTHY SHOWPIECE.
WOW, WOW, WOW.
AND AN OLD CLIENT RETURNS
WITH A LIST OF NEW DEMANDS.
I'M HEADIN' WEST, YOUNG MAN!
I'M HEADIN' WEST!
THIS GUY SCARES ME.
- OH, DEAR.
- IT'S A ROAD-TRIP NIGHTMARE.
- DON'T HIT THE ANIMALS.

AND A ROAD-TRIP DREAM
COME TRUE.
OH, THAT'S AWESOME.
GET OUT OF HERE.
GET OUT OF HERE!
GET BACK TO WORK.
Noah: MAKING A CAR LOOK GOOD --
FOR US, THAT'S A GIVEN.
MAKING A CAR PERFORM --
THAT'S OUR SPECIALTY.
HERE AT CLASSIC CAR STUDIO,
MY TEAM OF VISIONARIES
AND MASTER CRAFTSMEN

AND TRANSFORM THEM
INTO CUSTOM-TAILORED,
HIGH-PERFORMANCE RIDES.

YOU WANT TO WIN SHOWS

WE'RE THE SHOP FOR YOU.
BECAUSE HERE,
SPEED IS THE NEW BLACK.
CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY
DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
FOR COMING IN.
Chris: HEY, OUR PLEASURE.
SO, TODAY WE HAVE
TWO NEW CLIENTS,
TIM AND HIS WIFE, CHRIS.
THEY BROUGHT IN THEIR
1953 CHEVY 3100.
NOW, I CAN TELL THAT THE CAB
HAS ALREADY BEEN STRETCHED
AND THE BEDSIDES ARE
A LITTLE BIT HIGHER,
SO I'M CURIOUS TO HEAR WHAT THEY
WANT TO DO WITH THIS TRUCK.
IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S HAD
AN AWESOME START.
SO, WHAT ARE YOU GUYS LOOKING
TO DO WITH THE TRUCK?
IT'S BEEN IN ONE OTHER SHOP
AND HE COULDN'T GET IT DONE
IN A TIMELY MANNER FOR US
AND I WANT TO DRIVE IT.
COOL. WELL, WE CAN
HELP YOU WRAP IT UP.
SO, TELL ME A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT YOU GUYS.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN
IN THE CLASSIC-CAR HOBBY?
JUST GIVE ME A LITTLE
BACK HISTORY REAL QUICK.
OUR FIRST CAR
WAS A 1939 CHEVY.
BOTH KIDS WOULD CURL UP
IN THE BACK SEAT
AND WE'D TAKE
LONG TRIPS IN IT.
SO IS THAT YOUR THING?
YOU LIKE DOING LONG TRIPS
IN THESE CARS?
WE DRIVE THEM EVERYWHERE.
AND WE LOVE OUR CARS TO BE
LOOKED AT AND COMMENTED ON.
THAT'S WHY I CAN'T
LEAVE A CAR ALONE.
I'VE GOT TO CHANGE IT.
WITH ANY BUILD, WE REALLY WANT
TO CREATE AN EXPERIENCE
FOR THE CUSTOMERS,
SO IT'S ALWAYS IMPORTANT,
NOT JUST TO FIND OUT WHAT THINGS
PEOPLE WANT DONE TO THEIR CAR,
BUT WHAT THEY ACTUALLY
WANT TO DO WITH IT.
I LIKE SPEED.I CAN TELL.
WHAT IS THIS ENGINE?
WELL, THE ENGINE,
IT'S 11:1 COMPRESSION.
IT'S BORED OUT TO A 408.
IT'S ALL FORAGED COMPONENTS.
THEY'RE ESTIMATING IT
TO BE 650 HORSE.
IT'S GOT A CUSTOM-COMP GROUND
CAM FOR LOW-END TORQUE.
WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO MELT THE
TIRES IF WE WANT TO MELT 'EM.
I THINK TIM AND CHRIS ARE GONNA
BE AWESOME CLIENTS.
THEY WANT THE CUSTOM.
THEY WANT THE SPEED.
I CAN'T WAIT TO GET STARTED
ON THIS BUILD.
SO, WHAT OTHER METAL
DO WE HAVE FOR THIS
THAT'S NOT HERE RIGHT NOW?
WE HAVE NEW RUNNING BOARDS.
WE HAVE NEW REAR FENDERS.
ALL THAT'S GONNA NEED
SOME CHANGES MADE TO IT.
THE OUTSIDE OF THE TRUCK,
I WANT IT TO LOOK TRADITIONAL,
BUT I WANT IT TO LOOK SLEEK,
NEW, AND I WANT IT TIMELESS.
AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO --
YEAH, BUT WHAT DO
YOU WANT IT TO SOUND LIKE?
I WANT IT TO BE LOUD.
AND WHAT DOES
IT GOT TO FEEL LIKE?
IT'S GOT TO BE FAST.
SEE? THAT'S WHAT
YOU'RE TALKIN'.
YEAH.
SO, WHEN WE'RE DONE
WITH THIS,
WHERE'S YOUR FIRST TRIP
GONNA BE?
WE'RE GONNA DRIVE ROUTE 66,
ALL THE WAY TO CALIFORNIA
AND ALL THE WAY BACK.
A DESERVING TRIP FOR WHAT IS
A SWEET-LOOKING TRUCK SO FAR.
I'M NOT AFRAID TO SAY IT.
I ALREADY LOVE THIS BUILD.
- THANK YOU.
- THANK YOU.
- THANK YOU.
- THANKS.
I CAN'T WAIT TO
GET GOING ON THIS TRUCK,
AND SINCE IT'S ALREADY
HAD SOME WORK DONE,
THERE IS NO TEAR DOWN.
SO I TOLD CHARLES,
"TAKE IT OVER TO SCOTT AND MARK
AND GET THIS THING ROLLIN'."
PUSH, MARK.
I AM PUSHING, MAN.
I GOT TO PUSH ALL BY MYSELF.
WHAT THE HELL'S
WRONG WITH YOU?
HEY, YOU WANT TO COME OVER
AND STEER? I'LL PUSH.
MAN, YOU GUYS
NEED HELP PUSHING?
WE DO. WE'RE WEAK.
SAY WHAT?
YOU THINK ABOUT THAT?
DUDE, I SEEN THAT FIREWALL
WHEN YOU WERE COMING IN.
THAT'S WICKED.
THIS '53 CHEVY TRUCK HAS ALREADY
HAD SOME WORK DONE TO IT.
THE PRIOR BUILDER
KIND OF SET THE TONE
FOR WHAT THE CUSTOMERS
ARE WANTING.
BUT ONCE IT HITS OUR SHOP,
WE'RE GONNA MAKE IT OUR OWN.
AND AT THE END, THIS TRUCK IS
GONNA BE A ROLLING WORK OF ART.
DO THEY GOT THE REST OF THEIR
TRUCK? OR IS THAT...?
FENDERS.
THEY'VE GOT BUMPERS.
THEY'VE GOT ALL THE PIECES.
STOCK STUFF.YEAH.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS TRUCK,
YOU KNOW THAT THAT'S
NOT GONNA CUT IT.
THERE'S GONNA BE
A LOT OF METALWORK
TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE
THE REST OF THIS TRUCK.
GUY PULLS A CLASSIC CAR IN.
I'M ALWAYS THINKING OUT THE BOX.
I WANT TO REACH
AND SET THE BAR HIGHER.
THE TAILGATE'S JUST,
LIKE, SCREAMING,
"DO SOMETHING TO ME,"
YEAH.WE'RE GONNA HAVE --
WE CAN'T LET IT
GO OUT OF HERE LIKE THAT.
WE GOT A LOT OF WORK TO DO.
AND IT'S GONNA BE FUN.
Charles: SO, LET'S TAKE A LOOK
AT THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK.
WE HAVE TO MOCK UP
THE FRONT END
AND THEN BUILD
THE INNER FENDER WALLS.
YEAH. AND THEN...
THEY'RE PRETTY GOOD-LOOKIN'
TRUCKS FROM THE FACTORY.
DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER IDEAS
WITH HOW TO MAKE
THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK KIND OF
GO WITH THE REST OF IT?
BRING IT IN AND TAKE
SOME OF THE, LIKE,
STEP BUMPER AWAY
FROM THE FRONT.
HE DOES WANT FOG LIGHTS ON
THIS TRUCK. I DON'T KNOW --
- IT'S A MUST?
- IT'S A MUST.
HE WANTS US TO GET CREATIVE
AND FIGURE OUT A WAY
TO MAKE THEM LOOK OKAY
ON THE FRONT OF THIS TRUCK.
THIS IS GONNA BE A HARD ONE
TO PULL OFF.
IT NEEDS TO BE OVER-THE-TOP NICE
BUT ALSO, IT HAS TO FUNCTION.
THEY'RE GONNA TREAT THIS
LIKE A NEW TRUCK
AND THEY'RE GONNA GO OUT
AND DRIVE IT.
YEAH, WE'RE WORRIED ABOUT
BUMPERS AND FOG LIGHTS.
WE AIN'T EVEN GOT NONE OF THE
OTHER PANELING ON YET, YEAH.
LET'S START THERE.
WE'LL FIGURE IT OUT.
WE ALWAYS DO.
ALL RIGHT. THANKS, GUYS.SOUNDS GOOD.

I GOT AN AFTER-MARKET FENDER

SO WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO IS,
WE'RE GONNA CUT IT
RIGHT THROUGH THE CENTER HERE

SOMEONE SHOULD BE A DRYWALLER.
SO, TRAVIS AND JUST FOUND,
IN THE BACK OF
THIS '53 CHEVY TRUCK CAB,
ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS,
JUST REALLY CRAPPY BODY WORK.
IT WAS UNDERNEATH A TON OF MUD.
AND THE FACT THAT IT WAS
MUDDED ON THE INSIDE TO MASK IT

WHAT'S UNDERNEATH ALL OF THAT.
SO IT COULD POTENTIALLY GET
EVEN WORSE THAN WHAT IT IS NOW.
YEAH, LET ME GO GET MARK.
Mark: WHAT'S UP?
HEY, YOU WANT TO LOOK
AT SOMETHING?
MARK CAN BE EXTREMELY
HARD TO READ.

AND IT'S JUST BLANK STARE,
AND YOU DON'T KNOW IF HE'S
PISSED AT YOU OR IF HE'S...
I DON'T KNOW.
YOU NEVER REALLY KNOW
EXACTLY WHAT HE'S THINKING.
SO, THE BACK OF THIS CAB.
LOOK WHAT TRAVIS FOUND.
HOLY CRAP.
THIS THING'S BEEN CAVED IN,
SO THIS IS, LIKE,
A HUGE SETBACK FOR US.
WE FIGURED
THE BACK OF THE CAB
MIGHT HAVE HAD
A LITTLE MUD IN IT
AND WE WERE JUST GONNA
KNOCK IT DOWN
AND REWORK IT REAL QUICK
AND KEEP ON MOVING,
BUT THAT'S NOT THE CASE.
SO, NEXT TIME YOU SAY
"YOU WANT TO COME LOOK AT THIS,"
I SHOULD SAY NO?
DON'T COME LOOK AT IT, YEAH.
RYAN NEVER COMES OVER
JUST TO SAY "HI"
OR "HOW'S YOUR DAY GOING"
OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT,
OR JUST GIVE ME A HUG.
WOW.
WELL, THAT'S A MAJOR SETBACK.
RYAN AND TRAVIS FOUND OUT
THE BACK OF THE CAB IS TRASHED.
I MEAN, IT'S CAVED IN,
HAMMERED IN, FULL OF MUD.
REALLY NOT A GOOD TIME
TO FIGURE THAT OUT.
THIS REALLY SUCKS.
ALL THREE OF YOU STANDING HERE
MAKES ME PRETTY DAMN NERVOUS.
WHAT THE HELL IS THE PROBLEM?
TURN YOUR HAND ACROSS THERE
AND YOU'LL FIND OUT.
THEY HIT IT ALL ON THE INSIDE
WITH BODY FILLER ALSO.
Ryan: THEY USED A SHRINKING
HAMMER SO HARD OVER THERE,
THERE'S LIKE LITTLE HOLES
FROM THE SHRINKING HAMMER
ALL AROUND THAT AREA.
YEAH, BUT THIS IS LIKE
SO WEAK BACK HERE.
I THINK WE NEED TO MAKE AN
ATTEMPT TO TRY TO STRAIGHTEN IT
A LITTLE BIT
AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
I THINK IT'D BE BETTER
TO CUT IT OUT, BUT...
YOU KNOW, IT'S GONNA TAKE
A LOT OF TIME TO CUT
THIS WHOLE PANEL OUT
AND REPLACE IT.
I'D RATHER TRY TO STRAIGHTEN.
I THINK THAT'S
A WASTE OF TIME.
WHY?
I JUST THINK IT'D BE
QUICKER TO SECTION IT.
COME ON, MAN.
- IT'S ALL ABOUT TIME.
- I KNOW.
BUT DO YOU REALIZE HOW MUCH
TIME IT'S GONNA TAKE
TO CUT THIS WHOLE PANEL OUT
AND REPLACE IT?
IT WON'T TAKE ANY TIME
TO CUT IT OUT.
NO.
FIVE MINUTES.

I THINK WE GOT TO TRY IT.
CHARLES'S PLAN IS TO HAVE US
COME THROUGH

IT'S KIND OF,
AT THIS POINT, A 50/50.

THEN ALL THAT TIME

STRAIGHT AGAIN.

TO FULLY REPLACE IT,

CUTTING THEM OUT
