- HEY, NOAH, HOW ARE YA?

THANKS FOR COMIN' IN.

OH, MY PLEASURE.



GOOD TO MEET YOU.

TODAY I'M MEETING WITH DR. SCOTT

ABOUT HIS 2003 CHEVROLET SSR.

THE SSR IS A
CAR-TRUCK-CONVERTIBLE MASH-UP

THAT HAS A SMALL, BUT
VERY INTENSE FOLLOWING.

ADMITTEDLY, THIS IS
A NEW ONE FOR US,

BUT, HEY,
THAT'S THE FUN PART --

DOIN' SOMETHING THAT
HASN'T BEEN DONE BEFORE.

WITHOUT A DOUBT, THIS IS
THE FIRST SSR WE'VE WORKED ON.

- BUT I'M LOOKIN' FORWARD TO IT.
- REALLY?

YOU WANNA GO FOR
A QUICK TEST DRIVE?

- SURE.
- ALRIGHT, COOL.

THANKS FOR BRINGING
THE SSR IN.

YOU KNOW, RARELY
DO WE GET TO SEE

A CONCEPT VEHICLE THEY ACTUALLY
BRING IN TO PRODUCTION.

IT'S CUTE.
IF IT WAS A MOVIE CAR,

IT WOULD BE
HERBIE'S COUSIN.

I THINK SO.

THAT'S NOT WHAT
WE'RE GOIN' AFTER.

ARE WE GONNA TAKE IN
THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION?

WE WANNA BE BLACK PANTHER.

ANY IDEAS IN TERMS
OF MODERNIZING

THAT YOU HAVE IN MIND?

I WANT MORE POWER.
I WANT IT TO HANDLE BETTER.

OKAY.

YOU'RE THE DETAIL GUY.
YOU'RE THE ARTIST.

I'LL TELL YA,
I DON'T WANT FLAMES ON IT.

RIGHT, NO FLAMES.

ALRIGHT.
WE CAN MAKE THAT HAPPEN.

CUTE AND FLAMES ARE TWO THINGS
WE DEFINITELY DON'T DO HERE.

I CAN ALREADY TELL
DR. SCOTT

ISN'T GONNA BE
OUR TYPICAL CLIENT.

I'M NOT EVEN SURE HE
KNOWS WHAT HE WANTS.

WOULD YOU BE OFFENDED IF
I TURNED IT OVER TO YOU

AND IT LOOKED LIKE
IT WAS A MEAN, NEW,

HUNKERED-DOWN...

NO, NOT AT ALL.

...PISSED OFF,
CRAZY VEHICLE?

I SPENT HALF OF MY LIFE ANGRY.
I WANT AN ANGRY TRUCK.

IT WOULDN'T HURT
MY FEELINGS

IF IT'S THE FASTEST SSR
IN THE WORLD.

WE COULD MAKE IT
VERY, VERY FAST.

500, 600, 700, 800.

REALLY THERE'S
NO PLACE --

IS THERE A 900?

I WANT MORE HORSEPOWER.

AND NOBODY EVER CAME IN HERE
AND WANTED LESS HORSEPOWER.

ALRIGHT, SO MY VISION
IS, WHEN YOU'RE DONE,

THE TRUCK IS AWESOME.

UH-HUH. ALL WE HAVE TO DO
IS CREATE AWESOME.

THAT'S MY VISION.

ALRIGHT,
THAT IS A WIDE OPEN --

THAT IS A WIDE
OPENING PLAYING FIELD.

AND THAT YOU DON'T
MESS UP MY TRUCK.

OH, BUT I DON'T WANNA,

THAT'S WHY I'M
LOOKING FOR DIRECTION.

WHEN HE HAVE A CLIENT THAT
DOESN'T GIVE YOU ANY SPECIFICS,

ALL YOU CAN DO IS
KEEP ASKING QUESTIONS

TO FIGURE OUT WHAT
THEY ACTUALLY DO LIKE.

I HATE TO PUT ALL THE
TIME AND MONEY INTO A CAR

ONLY TO FIND THE CUSTOMER
DOESN'T LIKE IT IN THE END.

I THINK WE NEED TO KINDA
GET RID OF THE CUTE

AND BRING IN JUST
SOME KINDA LIKE --

I WANT IT TO LOOK
KINDA MENACING.

THAT COULD BE A LITTLE
BIT OF A CHALLENGE,

BUT THAT'S WHAT WE LIKE.

WHAT KIND OF LOOK DO
YOU WANT IT TO HAVE

IN TERMS OF THE STANCE?

THE STANCE CAN REALLY
MAKE OR BREAK ANY VEHICLE.

DO YOU WANT AN
AIR RIDE TYPE SETUP?

YES, YES.

YOU CAN SLAM IT
ON THE GROUND.

SO, AT THE END OF THE DAY,

I WANT IT TO BE EQUALLY
TERRIFYING, YET PRACTICAL.

- AH, THERE YOU GO.
- DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?

YES, YES.

DO YOU LIKE THE DESCRIPTION
THAT I'M GIVING YOU?

A CIVILIZED BARBARIAN.

I CAN'T REALLY ENVISION
EXACTLY WHAT I WANT.

BUT I'LL KNOW IT WHEN I SEE IT.

IF WE'RE GOING TO BRING
ANY PART OF THIS CAR

TO THE NEXT LEVEL,
BRING IT ALL TO THE NEXT LEVEL.

HOW CRAZY CAN WE
GET WITH IT?

- YOU CAN GO CRAZY.
- WE CAN GO CRAZY?

DON'T MESS IT UP.

UH-OH!
ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT.

WE CAN GO A LOT OF
DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS,

BUT WE WILL CERTAINLY
MAKE IT UNIQUE FOR YOU.

YOU'RE GONNA FIGURE OUT
HOW TO REALLY ENJOY

1,200 HORSEPOWER.

I'M JUST JOKING.

- I KID. I KID!
- THAT'S ALL? THAT'S ALL, 1,200?

RUN FREE.

- RUN FREE LITTLE NOAH.
- RUN FREE YOUNG MAN.

ALRIGHT.

WELL, EVEN THOUGH DR. SCOTT

HAS NO IDEA WHAT HE WANTS,

I NOW KNOW WHAT OUR TEAM CAN DO

TO TAKE THIS TRUCK
TO THE NEXT LEVEL.

OUR FIRST SSR IS GONNA
BE ONE HELL OF A RIDE.

- TA-DA!
- OH, MAN.

UGLIEST TRUCK
THAT CHEVY EVER MADE.

WHAT? THERE'S SOME PARTS
OF THE TRUCK THAT ARE COOL.

AND THERE'S OTHER PART
THAT JUST DON'T WORK.

BEING 100% HONEST, VERY
LITTLE ON THIS TRUCK WORKS.

THAT'S WHY WE HAVE TO MAKE THIS

A TOTALLY REDESIGNED,
KILLER RIDE.

THIS IS SCOTT'S
DAILY DRIVER,

WHICH HE'S DESCRIBED
MULTIPLE TIMES AS BEING CUTE.

SO WE'RE GONNA TAKE THE CUTE OUT
AND POUR IN THE ATTITUDE?

- YEAH.
- GOT IT.

IT'S GOTTA HAVE
A TON OF ATTITUDE.

HE WANTS BIG POWER,
HE WANTS A BETTER STANCE,

COMPLETELY NEW PAINT JOB.

SO I THINK IT'S
OUR OPPORTUNITY TO

GIVE THIS THING A
BIT OF A REDESIGN.

MAKE IT IMPRESSIVE.

AND BUILD IT THE WAY THEY
SHOULD HAVE BUILT IT.

I LIKE IT.

YOU'VE HAD A COUPLE OF THESE.

YOU'VE HAD
A COUPLE OF THESE?

- YEAH.
- HE HAS.

I PERSONALLY LIKE 'EM.
I MEAN, I AGREE WITH YOU.

ONCE YOU GET
THE STANCE RIGHT,

IT'LL CHANGE THE WHOLE
ATTITUDE TO THE TRUCK.

- I BELIEVE IT.
- BUT THE TOP IS EXTREMELY ROUND,

AND THEN THE FENDERS
ARE VERY SQUARE.

SO IF WE REDID THE
WHOLE FRONT END

AND KINDA BROUGHT IT
MORE SQUARED DOWN,

LIKE A LITTLE BIT OF A VALANCE
WITH A BIG OPEN MOUTH.

MODERN,
BUT STILL KINDA CLASSIC.

AND THEN WE'D GET RID OF
THAT CROSSBAR ALTOGETHER.

THE WHEELS ARE JUST --
THEY'RE LIKE THE LAMEST WHEELS

ON THE FREAKIN' PLANET.

I THINK IT'S 20s AND
19s ON IT ALREADY.

BUMP IT UP TO 20s
AND 22s OR SOMETHING.

AS LONG AS WE CAN
GET IT HAMMERED DOWN.

THEY GIVE YOU
ANY COLOR IDEAS?

BLACK.

- BLACK?
- THAT'S WHAT HE WANTED?

- BLACK?
- HE LIKED DARK COLORS,

SO I WAS LIKE,
THAT'S WORKS, YEAH.

HE LIKES DARK COLORS,
BUT HE BOUGHT BRIGHT RED.

WHAT ABOUT
A ROOT BEER COLOR?

SO YOU'RE WANTIN' TO
TAKE SOMETHING THAT

EVERYBODY'S ALREADY
THINKING'S A TURD

AND YOU WANNA PAINT
IT BROWN, TOO?

I WANNA PAINT IT BROWN.

IF YOU DO THE RIGHT COLOR

WITH ALL THE CURVES
ON THIS TRUCK,

GOLD METALLIC ROOT BEER COLOR
WITH GOLD ACCENT WHEELS.

I THINK WITH THE RIGHT COLOR,

CHANGE THE RUNNING BOARDS
AROUND, REDO THE FRONT END.

- GOOD LOOK.
- OBVIOUSLY,

SOME KIND OF HORSEPOWER UPGRADE.

PROBABLY NEEDS A DIFFERENT
LS MOTOR WITH A SUPERCHARGER.

I THINK, YEAH, WITH A LOT OF
HORSEPOWER, IT'LL BE COOL.

AND I THINK, SCOTTY, IF YOU
START WITH THE FRONT END,

WITH THE STYLING THERE,
GET THAT TAKEN CARE OF,

EVERYTHING ELSE'LL KINDA
FLOW BACK AND MAKE SENSE.

THE BACK OF THE
TRUCK'S NOT TOO BAD.

THE BACK'S VERY LIVABLE.

IT'S A LITTLE FAT,
A LITTLE HEAVY.

BUT COMPARED TO THE FRONT
AND TO THE FENDERS

AND EVERYTHING ELSE,
THE BACK --

IT'S PRETTY GOOD.

JUST ROUND AND SIMPLE,

AND HAS A HOT ROD
FLAIR TO IT ANYWAY, SO.

WE'LL LOSE THE
THIRD BRAKE LIGHT.

WE'LL LOSE, OBVIOUSLY,
THE BOW TIE, ALL THE EMBLEMS.

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA
DO IN THE INTERIOR?

DASH ITSELF DOESN'T
LOOK THAT BAD.

IT'S CLEAN. THERE'S ONLY
A COUPLE KNOBS ON IT.

ONCE WE DID
A CUSTOM INTERIOR,

THE DASH THAT IS
ACTUALLY KINDA BORING,

ALL WRAPPED IN LEATHER
AND EVERYTHING,

WILL ACTUALLY END UP BEING
SUPER CLEAN AND COOL, I THINK.

WE COULD TOP STITCH,
MAYBE, ON THE DASH.

GIVE IT -- I DON'T KNOW,

GIVE IT SOMETHING
A LITTLE BETTER THAN THAT.

THAT'S JUST A HUGE
PIECE OF PLASTIC.

THINK EVERYBODY HAD A CRACK
AT DESIGNING THIS THING.

ONE GUY DESIGNED IT, AND
THEN HE CALLED IN SICK.

AND ANOTHER GUY
HAD TO FINISH IT.

- SO THERE'S TWO DIFFERENT--
- AND THEN HE QUIT.

AND THEN A THIRD
AND A FOURTH GUY

GOT INTO AN ARGUMENT
WITH IT.

THEY GOT FIRED, AND THEN
THE FIFTH GUY CAME IN.

WELL, I THINK IT'S TIME TO GET
SOME CUTTING TOOLS OUT.

-YEAH

I'D START WITH THE FRONT END
AND THEN GO FROM THERE.

I THINK THE REST OF THE
DESIGN'S GONNA FLOW WELL,

BUT IT COULD BE
PRETTY COOL.

ESPECIALLY GIVE HIM
SOME HORSEPOWER.

REMEMBER, GOTTA LOOK
PISSED OFF AND MENACING.

WE'RE GONNA MAKE THE GENERAL
PUBLIC RESPECT THE SSR.

ALRIGHT, LET'S GET TO
WORK ON THIS THING.

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO
WHEN YOU DO A BURNOUT?

IT'LL BE LIKE
A SMOKING TURD.

LOOK AT YOU, HOT ROD.

MAN, IT'S GOT A LITTLE POWER
BUT IT'S NOT MUCH.

OH, MAN.

FIRST UP ON THE SSR IS
A SUSPENSION UPGRADE.

WE'RE GONNA PUT ALL THIS NEW
HORSEPOWER IN THIS TRUCK.

WE NEED TO MAKE SURE IT
HAS THE RIGHT SUSPENSION

TO HOLD UP TO ALL
THIS NEW POWER.

MAN, THIS CAR IS WEIRD.

LOOK, IT WON'T EVEN
LET ME OUT.

IT WANTS YOU
TO STAY IN IT.

I DON'T WANT IT.

MAN, I DON'T KNOW.

YEAH, THIS THING
NEEDS A LOT OF STANCE.

IT'S ALMOST CAT IN HEAT.

YEAH, WELL, NOBODY'S
GONNA BE ABLE TO

RECOGNIZE THIS THING
WHEN WE'RE DONE.

WELL, I HOPE THEY DON'T.

IS THAT HIGH ENOUGH
FOR YOU, DOUG?

YEAH.

YEAH, THIS THING COULD
USE A TON OF UPGRADES.

HELL YEAH.

WOW.

WITH THIS NEW
AIR RIDE SUSPENSION,

DR. SCOTT WILL BE ABLE
TO CHANGE HIS STANCE

IN THE VEHICLE JUST
BY TOUCHING A BUTTON.

IT'S GONNA BE A HUGE DIFFERENCE
FROM WHAT'S IN THERE NOW.

LET'S RIP IT.

SOUNDS GOOD.

ALRIGHTY.

NICE JOB ON RUNNING
THOSE LINES.

OH, THANKS.

- IT'S GONNA BE A COOL KIT.
- YEAH, IT IS.

THIS HERE IS GONNA REPLACE

OUR FRONT STRUT
AND SPRING ASSEMBLY.

WE GOT RIDE HEIGHT
ADJUSTABILITY WITH THE AIR BAG.

AND THEN WE GOT DRIVABILITY
AND RIDE ADJUSTABLE RIGHT HERE.

BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY,

WHAT WE'RE REALLY SHOOTIN' FOR
WITH THIS VEHICLE IS STANCE.

- GOSH DOGGIES.
- OH, BOY.

WELL, ACCESS TO THE UPPER STRUT
MOUNTS IS IN THE ENGINE BAY.

AND YOU CAN SEE
HOW CRAMPED IT IS.

JUST ANOTHER WEIRD DESIGN
DECISION FOR THE SSR.

GOD, THIS MOUNT IS
A

OOH.
THERE IT IS.

LOOK AT THAT.

ALL THAT JUST TO
GET TO THOSE.

HERE WE GO.

SUCCESS!

THE PRICE IS RIGHT,
COME ON DOWN.

- PSHHHHT! PSHHHHT!
- PSHHHHT!

TOLD YOU WE WERE GONNA
MAKE IT LOOK LIKE A GASSER.

YEAH.

- STANCE IS EVERYTHING.
- RIGHT.

OH, HEY, PAUL.
WE GOT A BRAND NEW LSA.

- GOOD.
- IT IS THE ONE OUT OF THE ZL1.

COOL.

A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAPPY
WHEN THEY SEE ME

COME INTO THEIR LIFE,
AND THAT'S WHY I GOT YOU

THIS SWEET NEW MOTOR.

THAT'S AWESOME.

- WHOA!
- WHOO!

LOOK AT THAT.

ALWAYS READ THE INSTRUCTIONS.

AND IN THE INSTRUCTIONS
IT ALWAYS SAYS

HAVE A PROFESSIONAL
PUT THIS IN.

I HAD TO QUIT.

HOW'S THAT ONE-HOUR COMEDY
TOUR WORKING FOR YOU?

- NOT VERY GOOD.
- YEAH?

YEAH. THAT'S WHY I'M
WORKING HERE, NOAH.

YOU WRITE ALL THIS MATERIAL
AHEAD OF TIME?

YEAH. YEP.

PAUL MAY NOT BE
A WORLD-CLASS COMEDIAN.

BUT HE DOES KNOW HIS
WAY AROUND ENGINES,

SO I KNOW HE'LL BE ABLE
TO TURN THIS FACTORY SSR

INTO A TERRIFYING
STREET MACHINE.

WE WENT BACK AND FORTH WITH
A LOT OF DIFFERENT CONCEPTS

ON THIS THING FOR ENGINES,
BUT I THINK WE KINDA SETTLED

ON THE RIGHT ONE.

HE DRIVES IT
ALL OVER THE PLACE,

SO WHAT BETTER OPTION
THAN THIS ONE?

556 HORSEPOWER.

I THINK IT'LL MAKE
THIS THING GO.

HOPEFULLY MAKE IT A LOT
MORE EXCITING, AS WELL.

WELL, THAT'S WHAT
WE'RE ALL ABOUT

IS MAKING THIS THING COOL.

THE FIRST STEP IS
GETTING IT UP IN THE AIR.

I KNOW I GOTTA SWAP
THE OIL PAN,

'CAUSE THIS THING HAS THE
WEIRDEST OIL PAN YOU EVER SEEN.

WHAT OTHER PARTS YOU
GOT COMING FOR ME?

I GOT A TRANSMISSION.

IT'S GOT HEADERS
AND A Y-PIPE.

SWEET.

"Y-NOT"?

- WELL --
- THANK YOU, FOLKS,

I'LL BE HERE ALL NIGHT.

ALRIGHT, THANKS PAUL.

WELL, I'M GONNA START
KNOCKING THIS THING OUT.

HEY, THANKS FOR
THE CHRISTMAS GIFT.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

MOCKIN' UP
THE ZL1 LSA ENGINE.

INSTALLING THE MOUNTS
AND THE OIL PAN

FROM THE PREVIOUS
ENGINE THAT WAS IN IT,

AND THEN WE'RE GONNA
SET IT IN A CHASSIS

AND SEE HOW OUR HEADERS
AND OUR SUPERCHARGER

AND EVERYTHING CLEAR.

OKAY, LET'S PUSH
THIS THING IN THERE.

WENT AHEAD AND GRABBED RANDY
TO HELP ME SET THIS ENGINE IN

SO WE CAN SEE IF IT FITS.

WORRIED ABOUT THE SUPERCHARGER
CLEARING THE FIRE WALL.

WHEN WE GO TO PUT
THE ACCESSORIES ON,

WE DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE
GONNA WORK YET, EITHER.

I LIKE IT WHEN THINGS
GO MY WAY.

IT'S NOT VERY OFTEN.

I KNOW.

WELL, SO FAR SO GOOD.

LOOKS LIKE THE ENGINE
FITS IN THERE NICELY.

BUT IT'S GOT THE
INCH-AND-7/8 LONG TUBE HEADERS.

SO I'M GONNA GIVE
THEM A TRIAL FIT HERE.

IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO PUT A LONG
TUBE HEADER ON AN LS ENGINE,

ESPECIALLY AN LSA.

I'VE SEEN GAINS AS MUCH AS 40
TO 50 HORSEPOWER ON A DYNO.

GOING UP.

SO CLOSE, YET SO FAR.

THAT
JUST AIN'T WORKING.

THINK I'M GONNA TAKE THAT
WHOLE MOTOR MOUNT BRACKET

OUTTA THE WAY AND
SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

TAKE THAT.

THE BRACKET ON THE ENGINE
MAY HAVE TO COME OFF.

BUT IT'LL GO.

YEAH, IT'S GOTTA
COME OFF.

SHOULD GO UP IN THERE NOW.

COME ON, GIRL!

THERE WE GO.

WHOO-WHEE!

WELL, I KNEW IT WAS
GONNA BE A TIGHT FIT,

BUT I HAD NO IDEA IT WAS
GONNA BE THIS TIGHT OF A FIT.

LONG TUBE HEADERS
ON THE LS,

I JUST CAN'T SAY ENOUGH
ABOUT HOW MUCH

THEY IMPROVE
THE PERFORMANCE.

IN MY MIND, NO MATTER HOW
HARD THEY ARE TO GET IN THERE,

THEY'RE WORTH IT.

OH, HEY, CHARLES.

HEY, COULD YOU COME IN
MY OFFICE REAL QUICK?

ALRIGHT, THANKS.

EVERY YEAR, CHARLES AND I
COMPETE IN A SERIES

OF RACES FOR WHAT WE CALL
THE KUNG FU CUP.

THE WINNER FROM
THE PREVIOUS YEAR

GETS TO CHALLENGE THE LOSER
TO A SERIES OF FOUR RACES,

TO WHICH HE CANNOT SAY NO.

LAST YEAR I WAS THE WINNER,
SO WHEN CHARLES COMES IN,

I'M GONNA REMIND HIM THAT THE
RACE SERIES IS STILL GOING ON,

AND THAT HE'S GONNA LOSE AGAIN.

- WHAT'S GOING ON?
- OH, HEY, CHARLES.

I DON'T LIKE
THAT GRIN YOU GOT.

WELL, AS YOU FORGET
EVERY YEAR,

IT'S VERY, VERY
SPECIAL TIME OF YEAR.

LAST YEAR WE WERE -- NO, NO.

- JESUS!
- THE KUNG FU CUP IS BACK!

GIMME THAT DAMN --
GIVE IT TO ME.

I'LL LET YOU HOLD IT.

GIMME THAT TROPHY.

I'LL GIVE YOU
A LITTLE TASTE.

LEMME HOLD THIS THING.

BECAUSE THE FIRST
RACE STARTS RIGHT NOW.

ALL THE WAY THROUGH
THE BUILDING!

OH

OH, BOY, I GUESS
I'M OUT OF SHAPE.

- HEY, CHARLES.
- I WON!

- ARE YOU OKAY?
- I FEEL GREAT.

DO YOU NEED A WATER?

NO.

MY FOREHEAD ITCHES.

THE SSR WAS DESIGNED BY CHEVY
TO KIND OF MIMIC THE LATE '40s,

EARLY '50s TRUCKS.

THEY KINDA MISSED THE MARK
A LITTLE BIT.

SO WE'RE GONNA RIP A LOT OF
THE INTERIOR OUT OF THIS ONE,

AND TRY TO GIVE IT
A CLASSIC HOT ROD APPEARANCE.

WELL, APPARENTLY
THIS GUY HAS A DOG.

HE'S GOT A LOT OF FUR.

BUT WE DO HAVE
A SWIZZLE STICK.

WHAT?

NOTHING, I'M LOOKING
FOR DIAMONDS

AND GOLD
UNDERNEATH THE SEAT.

ALL I EVER FIND
IS FRENCH FRIES AND M&M'S.

ONE OF THE BIGGEST PROBLEMS
PEOPLE HAVE WITH THIS SSR

INTERIOR IS THE GOLDEN ARCHES
ON THE BACK OF THE SEATS.

SO WE'RE GONNA CUT THOSE OFF
AND MAKE 'EM GO AWAY.

AND WE'LL ACTUALLY MAKE THIS CAR

FEEL A LITTLE LESS
CLAUSTROPHOBIC.

BY CUTTING OFF
THE ARCHES OF THESE SEATS,

WE CAN CREATE MORE
SPACE IN THE CAB

AND CREATE THE LOW-BACK
BUCKET SEATS

YOU SEE IN MOST
CLASSIC HOT RODS.

GOT RID OF THE MCDONALD'S ARCH.

I'M GETTING READY TO MOCK UP
OUR TRANSMISSION IN OUR SSR.

4L60 WAS JUST MADE FOR LOWER
HORSEPOWER APPLICATIONS

AND A PROVIDED YOU AN OVERDRIVE.
AND THAT WAS ABOUT IT.

THIS TRANSMISSION HERE IS
GONNA HOLD UP TO THE HORSEPOWER

AND STILL PROVIDE
YOU AN OVERDRIVE.

HERE'S THE UPGRADED SERVO
THIS TRANSMISSION COMES WITH.

IT'S DESIGNED FOR YOUR
SECOND GEAR SHIFT.

THE OTHER THING IS

IT'S GOT A HARDENED
INPUT HOUSING,

BUT THIS IS A
HEAT-TREATED STATOR SHAFT.

AND WITHOUT THAT, YOU'RE
ASKING FOR TROUBLE

WITH A LOT OF HORSEPOWER.

LOOKING GOOD.

IN ORDER TO TAKE THE SSR
FROM TAME TO AGGRESSIVE,

WE DECIDED TO CREATE THE
ENTIRE GRILLE OUT OF BILLET.

SO I ASKED MY FRIEND DAVE
TO COME BY THE SHOP

TO 3-D SCAN THE CAR SO WE
CAN CREATE A NEW GRILLE

THAT WILL FIT THE SSR PERFECTLY.

WE'RE 3-D SCANNING
THE SSR TO MAKE SOME

BILLET ALUMINUM PARTS.

IN ORDER FOR THE
SOFTWARE TO BE ABLE TO

PUT THOSE SCANS BACK TOGETHER
IN ONE CONTINUOUS SCAN,

IT NEEDS SOME KIND
OF TARGETING SYSTEM

TO BE ABLE TO FIND THE
THREE-DIMENSIONAL SPACES.

AND THAT'S WHAT ALL THESE
LITTLE DOTS ARE FOR.

THE ACTUALLY RECOGNIZES
THOSE CIRCLES,

AND CREATES A
THREE-DIMENSIONAL POINT.

AND IT'S ABLE TO PUT ALL
THESE SCANS BACK TOGETHER

IN ONE MASTER SCAN.

WE'RE GONNA BE MAKING
THIS PART HERE,

AND ALSO THESE
FOUR STEPS DOWN.

SO WE'RE GONNA BE PAINTING THIS
WITH BASICALLY BABY POWDER.

WHEN THE LIGHT PATTERN
HITS IT,

THE CAMERAS ARE ABLE TO SEE IT
AND GENERATE THE 3-D DATA.

CHARLES SOMEHOW BEAT ME IN
THE FOOT RACE AT THE SHOP,

SO TODAY I BROUGHT HIM
TO ART HILL

FOR SOME DOWNHILL TRICYCLE
RACING TO SHOW HIM WHO'S BOSS.

TIME TO SURPRISE HIM
WITH RACE NUMBER TWO.

OH, HE'S KILLING ME.

GO!

OH, NO, SLOPE!

I CARRIED IT ACROSS
THE FINISH LINE, I WON.

OH, IT'S GROSS.

ALRIGHT, THESE ARE OUR FACTORY
RUNNING BOARDS ON THE SSR

AND THEY'RE KINDA LAME.

I MEAN, THEY'RE PLASTIC.

WE'RE GONNA MAKE THIS OUT OF
STEEL 'CAUSE PLASTIC JUST SUCKS.

- READY?
- YEAH.

NOW I'VE GOT OUR 90 BROKE
FOR THE SIDE LIP

THAT'S GONNA HANG DOWN.

BUT AS YOU CAN SEE,
I PUT A CURVE IN THIS.

SO WHAT I'M GONNA HAVE TO DO
IS START STRETCHING

THIS WHOLE PIECE TO GET IT
TO FIT THAT SAME CURVE.

THEN I CAN WELD IT ON.

WE'RE GONNA MAKE IT SEXY.

ALRIGHT, WE GOT OUR RUNNING
BOARD ALL FINISHED UP HERE.

IT LOOKS REALLY NICE.

I MEAN, THE GAPS
ARE NICE AND TIGHT.

GOOD TO GO.

I REALLY WANNA GIVE THE SSR
A MUCH MORE AGGRESSIVE LOOK.

AND ASIDE FROM THE STANCE,

THE NEXT THING THAT
HAS TO GO IS THE GRILLE.

SO WE HAVE A LOCAL
COMPANY CNC'ing

A BRAND-NEW BILLET ONE.

THIS IS AN ARTESIAN
COORDINATE MACHINE.

IT BASICALLY MOVES
IN THE X, Y, AND Z.

IT HAS A SPINNING CUTTER
THAT TAKES LITTLE BITES

OUT OF THE METAL
AND SHEARS AWAY THE PART

TO REMOVE ALL THE METAL
WE DON'T WANT,

LEAVING ONLY THE METAL WE DO.

SO I JUST FINISHED PROGRAMMING
THIS PART ON THE COMPUTER.

WE DELIVER THE PROGRAM
OVER TO THIS MACHINE HERE.

SO WE HIT CYCLE START
AND IT DOES THE REST.

IT'S GONNA LOOK GREAT.

WE JUST GOT OUR BILLET GRILLE IN
FROM THE MACHINIST,

SO IT LOOKS REALLY COOL, MAN.

I MEAN, A LITTLE
ON THE HEAVY SIDE,

SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO
WORK THAT PROBLEM OUT.

FIRST THING I GOTTA DO IS
GET THESE PLASTIC PIECES

CUT OUT HERE ON
THIS BUMPER COVER.

THEY'RE ACTUALLY GONNA
GO RIGHT WHERE THESE GO.

SO THE FIRST STEP IN THIS IS
JUST GETTING THIS CUT OUT.

THEN WE CAN SET
OUT BARS UP THERE

AND SEE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.

ONE BAR GONE.

AW, THAT'S GONNA LOOK REAL NICE.

LOOKS PRETTY GOOD.

IT ACTUALLY ALMOST COVERS
ALL OF OUR OLD STUFF.

SO NOW IT'S JUST A MATTER
OF TRYING TO FIGURE OUT

HOW TO MAKE A MOUNT SYSTEM
FOR THIS THING.

THESE BRACKETS ON THIS GRILLE
ARE TURNING OUT

TO BE QUITE A CHALLENGE.

THEY HAVE TO BE STRONG ENOUGH

TO HOLD THE WEIGHT
OF THE GRILLE,

YET THEY NEED TO BE HIDDEN.

SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO
FIGURE SOMETHING OUT HERE

AND MAKE IT HAPPEN.

CHECK THIS THING OUT.
THAT LOOKS REALLY GOOD, MARK.

YOU LIKEY?

WHAT'S IT WEIGH?
LEMME HOLD IT.

OH, MAN, GOSH.
THAT THING IS HEAVY.

GOOD THING IT'S ON
THE REINFORCEMENT.

THIS THING'D TAKE DOWN
A BRICK WALL, MAN.

I KNOW, I FEEL SORRY
FOR ANYTHING THAT

GETS IN THE WAY
OF THIS TRUCK.

YEAH.
STICK HER ON THERE.

ALRIGHT. YOU GOT GLOVES ON,
I DON'T HAVE GLOVES.

THIS AIN'T FOR
THE WEAK, MAN.

I NEVER SAID IT WAS.

I JUST NEED YOU TO HOLD
THAT SIDE OVER THERE.

SINCE THE TOP BAR WAS
SO BIG AND SO HEAVY,

WE DECIDED TO HAVE MATT
GO AHEAD AND WELD UP

A PIECE OUT OF
1/8-INCH ALUMINUM

SO IT'S A LOT LIGHTER.

AND IT'S GONNA MATCH
THE GRILLE PERFECTLY.

GET HER ATTACHED.

THIS ATTACHES TO
THE TOP PIECE, SO...

I THINK WE'RE
IN GOOD SHAPE.

ALRIGHT.

FOR OUR THIRD RACE,

I'VE DECIDED TO CHALLENGE
CHARLES TO A MINI-BIKE RACE.

AND WHILE CHARLES HAS WON
THE FIRST TWO RACES,

IF I DON'T WIN
THIS ONE, I'M DONE.

GO!

HOLY

OH, GOD!
OH

AAH!

OH

AAH-HA!

AAH!

WHOO!

I HAVE NO BRAKES!

HEY, THAT WAS A GOOD RACE.

I DON'T THINK WE
SHOULD DO THAT AGAIN

'CAUSE I WAS CLEARLY
THE WINNER.

AND I ALMOST HIT A CAR.

I'M STILL UP. I'M STILL
ONE RACE AHEAD OF YOU.

WELL YOU DO HAVE TWO WINS,

BUT THE FINAL RACE
IS DOUBLE POINTS,

SO WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

UH-HUH.
KEEP TALKING.

ALRIGHT.

WE'RE REALLY COMING DOWN
TO THE WIRE ON THE SSR.

SO BRYAN'S WORKING LATE
TO FINISH TRANSFORMING

THIS INTERIOR.

THIS IS A SEAT OUT OF THE SSR.

I ACTUALLY LIKE THIS
LITTLE HOOP-DEE HERE,

SO WE'RE GONNA GO AHEAD
AND KEEP THAT IN THE DESIGN.

BUT I THINK WE'RE GONNA ADD
A LITTLE MORE DETAIL TO IT.

MAYBE A LITTLE STRIPE
DOWN THE CENTER.

TAKE WHAT THEY HAD
AND BUMP IT UP A NOTCH.

THIS IS A SMOOTH GRAIN
LEATHER FOR THE SSR.

IT'S ACTUALLY OUT OF
THE PRIVATE STOCK

THAT IS RESERVED FOR BENTLEYS.

THERE'S LEATHER PANELS
AND FOAM FOR TWO SEATS.

LET'S SEE,
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,

7, 8 9, 10, 11, 12, 13.

YEAH, SO YOU'RE GONNA
BE CLOSE TO 100 PIECES

FOR THESE SEATS.

AND I'LL BE SITTING THERE FOR
THE NEXT DAY AND A HALF NOW.

SO WE JUST GOT DONE SEWING
THE LEATHER TO THE FOAM.

SO NOW WE'RE READY
TO ORGANIZE THIS

AND START SEWING
EVERYTHING TOGETHER.

I'M FINALLY DONE.

UGH.

ALRIGHT, NOW WHAT?

NOW WE CAN INSTALL THEM.

ALRIGHT. SO ON THE TEST DRIVE
WITH THIS GUY,

I HAD TO START COUNTING
'CAUSE IT GOT PRETTY BAD.

HE USED THE WORD CUTE 11 TIMES.

I MEAN, IT'S CUTE.

IT'S CUTE.

- OKAY.
- IT'S CUTE.

CUTE DOESN'T WORK
WITH TRUCKS.

IS IT A CAR OR A TRUCK?

MINI COOPER COULD BE CUTE.

YEAH, MINI COOPER'S CUTE.

YEAH, I COULD DO THAT.

BUT NOTHING ELSE.

NO, NOT THIS CAR-TRUCK.

NO.

WE'VE GOT COOL NEW WHEELS.

THE PAINT JOB'S
GONNA BE AWESOME.

I THINK THE INTERIOR'S
GONNA BE MUCH, MUCH NICER

AND BETTER AND
A LOT MORE STYLISH.

BUT WE'RE GOING IN
THE OPPOSITE WAY OF CUTE.

SO WE'RE GONNA DO
ONE MORE THING,

WHICH I THINK IS DO SOME
KINDA LITTLE VENT ON THE HOOD.

- NOT GONNA WORK.
- USE YOUR SPIT ON IT.

YOU GOTTA SPIT ON IT FIRST.

YEAH, MM-HMM.

YEP, YOU GOTTA LICK IT AGAIN.

WHAT, YOU NEED IT FILLED IN?

- OH, YEAH.
- OH, YEAH, YOU WANT VENTS?

OH, YEAH.

UH-HUH. SO, YEAH,

WE CAN HAVE ONE OVER THERE
AND ONE OVER HERE.

AND I WAS THINKING
WE COULD 3-D PRINT THEM?

I'LL PRINT THE PROTOTYPE,
WE'LL DROP IT ON THERE,

WE'LL MAKE SURE
IT LOOKS GREAT.

IF IT'S TOO SMALL,
WE'LL MAKE IT BIGGER.

IF IT'S TOO BIG,
WE'LL MAKE IT SMALLER.

- THAT WORKS.
- AND THEN WE'LL GO FROM THERE.

- THAT SOUNDS GOOD.
- SIMPLE.

- SOUNDS GOOD.
- ALRIGHT, THANK YOU.

- WE CAN MAKE THAT HAPPEN.
- WE CAN MAKE THAT HAPPEN.

I'VE GOT SOME SIZING FROM MARK,
SO I'M GOING TO BASICALLY TAKE

THIS GENERAL SHAPE
AND APPLY SCALE TO IT

AND MAYBE DEFINE SOME ANGLES
AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

AND THEN START TO BUILD OUT
THE PART FROM THERE.

NOW I'M GOING TO TAKE
THIS AND EXTRUDE IT OUT.

YEAH, WE'VE GOT TO GET RID
OF THIS RACING STRIPE OBVIOUSLY.

IT'S ALREADY ACTUALLY
TRYING TO LIKE FREE ITSELF

FROM THE STRIPE
AS YOU CAN SEE.

WOW, THAT'S WHAT
FLORIDA SUN DOES.

OH. IT'S SO DRIED OUT
FROM THE SUN.

THIS HAS BEEN ON HERE
FOR A LONG TIME.

- OH, YEAH, YOU LOOK GOOD.
- YEAH!

LOOKS LIKE DAVE KINDIG IT.

OH! WE'LL GIVE HIM
EYEBROWS, HERE.

I KNOW.

YOU LOOK LIKE
INSANE CLOWN POSSE.

A UNIBROW.

- LET ME SEE
- UNIBROW!

MUSTACHE.

I NEED A MUSTACHE.

HE AIN'T GOT
NO MUSTACHE.

I THINK --

- I'M O.C.C. CHOPPERS.
- YUP.

THAT'S BITCHIN'.

HOW DO YOU LICK
AND SWIPE A UNIBROW?

LIKE THAT, OR LIKE THIS?

YOU'VE GOTTA PART IT
DOWN THE MIDDLE.

ONE HAND, LIKE THIS.

OKAY LIKE THIS?
START IN THE --

WE TOOK THE CUTE
OUT OF THE TRUCK

AND WE PUT ON THE ATTITUDE.

RIGHT THERE.

WHOO!

JUST BRING YOUR
HERE, WE'LL MAKE IT COOL.

YEAH, UNLIKE WHAT HE
LOOKS LIKE RIGHT NOW.

WHOO!

WHOO! THIS IS THE NEW BIKER
BUILD-OFF SHOW RIGHT HERE.

LOOK, WE'VE GOT
THE WHOLE CREW.

THIS IS THE BEST PART
OF MY DAY, BY FAR.

ALRIGHT, ON OUR SSR,
WE DECIDED TO CHANGE

THE DOOR HANDLES UP
A LITTLE BIT.

SO I THINK WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO
IS FILL IN THIS WHOLE SECTION

AND THEN CUT OUT TWO FINGERS
ON IT, OPEN THE DOOR.

IT'LL JUST MAKE IT
LOOK A LITTLE CLEANER.

IT'S A WELD-THROUGH PRIMER
THAT WE SPRAY ON THE BACK.

ONCE THIS GOES ON HERE,
YOU CAN STILL WELD IT,

BUT IT'S NOT BARE METAL BEHIND
THERE, SO IT WON'T RUST.

WE'LL SPRAY SOME ON THE CAR TOO

AND THEN WE'LL BE READY TO WELD.

ALRIGHT, WE'VE GOT OUR
DOOR HANDLE ALL DONE.

WE'VE GOT THAT WELDED UP.

TWO FINGERS IS ALL YOU NEED.

ALRIGHT, WE'RE LOOKING FOR
A SPOT TO PUT OUR MIRRORS.

THE ORIGINAL ONES WERE HERE,
BUT THAT'S A LITTLE FAR BACK.

I THINK THE SAFEST BET IS
TO GO RIGHT ON THE DOOR,

SO IT'LL SWING OUT
WITH THE DOOR.

I THINK THAT'S GONNA BE
A PRETTY GOOD LOOK THERE.

SO WHAT I'LL DO IS JUST GO AHEAD

AND MAKE SOME MARKS ON MY TAPE,

DRILL SOME HOLES IN THERE,
AND GET THIS THING MOUNTED UP.

YEP, BEARD'S LOOKIN'
PRETTY GOOD TODAY.

WE'VE GOT OUR MIRRORS ON.

WE'RE GOOD TO GO.

FOR THE EXTERIOR OF THE SSR,

CHARLES WANTS TO GO
WITH THE ROOT BEER BROWN.

HONESTLY, IT'S HARD
FOR ME TO PICTURE IT,

BUT HE'S GOT
THE VISION FOR THIS ONE.

SO WE'RE GONNA LET IT ROLL.

GOT ALL MY SSR PARTS
ALL PREPPED UP.

NOW WE'RE GETTING READY TO SPRAY
SOME SEALER ON IT.

AFTER THAT DRIES,
I'M GONNA PAINT IT UP

WITH SOME REAL NICE ROOT BEER
BROWN WITH SOME METAL FLAKE.

WE'RE PUTTING SIX PISTON BRAKES
ALL THE WAY AROUND ON THE SSR.

GREAT BIG BRAKES,
BUT FIRST THING WE'RE GONNA DO

IS CHANGE THE HUBS OVER TO
A FIVE-LUG BOLT PATTERN.

SSRs COME WITH SIX-LUG.

WE'RE GOING FIVE LUGS SO WE
GOT BETTER WHEEL CHOICES.

TRYING TO PUT LIKE
A NOSTALGIC-LOOKING WHEEL

ON HERE AND THE ONLY WAY
WE COULD GET THAT WHEEL

WAS IN A FIVE LUG.

SO WE'RE GONNA DO
THAT EXTRA STEP.

THEN WE'LL PUT THE BRAKES ON,

AND THIS THING WILL
BE READY TO ROLL.

THESE ARE BIG SIX
PISTON CALIPERS.

BUT BEING SIX PISTON MEANS
IT HAS THREE PISTONS

ON EACH SIDE
OF THIS CALIPER.

A LOT OF STOCK CARS
ONLY HAVE ONE PISTON

OR MAYBE TWO PISTONS.

A LOT OF STOPPING POWER.

BUT ALL IN ALL,
WHEN IT'S DONE,

THE CAR IS GONNA DRIVE
AND STOP SUPER GOOD

AND IT'LL LOOK GOOD WHEN YOU
LOOK THROUGH THE WHEEL.

WE GOT THE ROTORS MOUNTED UP,
WE SPACE THE CALIPER.

YOU WANT AN EVEN AMOUNT
OF DAYLIGHT ON EACH SIDE

OF THE PAD ON THE FRONT
AND THE BACK SIDE OF THE ROTOR.

ROTOR SPINS FREE, CALIPERS
MOUNTED UP NICE AND TIGHT.

THESE BRAKES ARE DONE.
TIME TO MOVE ON THE THE REAR.

GUYS ARE BUTTONING
EVERYTHING UP,

AND PRETTY SOON WE'RE GONNA BE
ABLE TO HEAR THIS ENGINE ROAR.

WE'VE SET OUR INJECTOR OFFSETS.

WE'VE DONE A CONVERSION ONE

WITH LINGENFELTER
CONVERSION MODULE.

AND IT'LL CONVERT IT
WHERE THE PCM ACTUALLY

SEES THE 24-TOOTH RELUCTOR

THAT THE FACTORY COMPUTER SAW
ORIGINALLY.

BUT SINCE WE HAVE A FACTORY
STYLE OPERATING SYSTEM,

WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO
MAKE SOME CHANGES

WITH OUR SOFTWARE
TO MAKE IT KNOW

WHAT WE GOT IN THIS CAR NOW.

TOOTSIE ROLL BROWN.
WE'RE READY TO ROLL OUT.

- DID YOU HAVE THAT ONE READY?
- WHAT?

THE TOOTSIE ROLL BROWN,
ROLL OUT JOKE?

YEAH.
I SAID THAT YESTERDAY.

OH, ALRIGHT.
THAT'S FINE.

EITHER THAT OR IT'S
ROOT BEER BROWN ON THE OUTSIDE,

PEANUT BUTTER
ON THE INSIDE.

DOORS OPEN SUICIDE,
I KNOW YOU WANNA RIDE.

THERE YOU GO.

TOP THAT. TOP THAT!

- FIRE THIS THING UP.
- YOU READY?

ALL OR NOTHING.
FIRE IT UP.

- WHOO!
- YEAH.

- SOUNDS PRETTY GOOD.
- WOW.

THAT'S A WRAP!

GOOD TO GO.

NOW WE CAN FILL UP THE TRANNY
FLUID AND EVERYTHING

AND GO DRIVE IT.

ALRIGHT, CHARLES.
HERE'S THE RULES --

THREE LAPS.

BEST LAP OF THREE WINS,

AND THE WINNER TAKES
THE KUNG FU CUP...

- OKAY.
- ...HOME AGAIN.

YOU CAN PICK YOUR POISON.

FOR OUR LAST RACE,
I BROUGHT TWO AMAZING CARS.

THE FIRST IS A
2017 CADILLAC CTS-V

THAT WE HELPED
DEVELOP FOR A CLIENT.

IT HAS OVER 800 HORSEPOWER
AND IS AN ABSOLUTE MONSTER.

THE SECOND IS A REALLY NICE
TRACK-FOCUS 2008 PORSCHE GT3 RS.

THIS RACE IS WORTH
DOUBLE POINTS,

SO WHOEVER WINS TAKES THE CUP.

YOU KNOW WHAT,
I LOVE OUR CUSTOMERS.

I'M GONNA SHOW 'EM RIGHT.

I'M GONNA TAKE THIS CAR
AND WIN THIS RACE.

HENNESSEY 800 HORSEPOWER.

I KNOW IT'S A FOUR-DOOR,
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?

I'M CONFIDENT IN THIS CAR.

THAT'S FINE WITH ME.
I'M STILL GONNA WIN.

OKAY.

READY!
THREE, TWO, ONE...

THREE, TWO, ONE, GO!

HOLY

THE KUNG FU CUP IS IN THE HOUSE.

WE'RE DOWN HERE
ON THE FINISH LINE

AT GATEWAY MOTORSPORTS PARK,
AND I'VE GOT THE TIMES

FROM THE BIG CHALLENGE RACE.

CHARLES WAS 122.86.

- UH-HUH.
- UH-HUH.

AND THE CHAMPION, NOAH...

121.18.

- WHOO! OH! HEY!
- WELL, YOU KNOW...

YOU'VE GOT A 911
VERSUS A FOUR-DOOR.

CONGRATULATIONS.
ENJOY YOUR TROPHY.

JUST ONE MORE YEAR
OF TORMENT.

THEN MAYBE YOU'LL LOSE IN, LIKE,
A TRICYCLE RACE NEXT YEAR.

I'M OUT OF HERE.
WHATEVER.

- SEE YA.
- HOP IN A BURLAP BAG, OR...

WHATEVER.

LOSING TO A GUY IN A CAR
THAT'S TEN YEARS OLDER.

IT'S OKAY.

WITH 400 LESS HORSEPOWER.

NOW THE GAMES CAN BEGIN.
WE'RE IN FINAL ASSEMBLY LIFT.

YEAH, GO DOWN IN THE FRONT.

ALRIGHT, NOW COME BACK.

WE'RE IN FINAL ASSEMBLY,
JUST GOT THE GRILLE ON.

I MEAN IT TOOK A LOT OF
WORK TO FIT IT, BRACKETS,

AND ALL THAT STUFF
BUT IN THE END,

IT TURNED OUT REALLY NICE,
SO I'M PROUD OF IT.

WE'LL GET THE HOOD ON THAT,
AND WE CAN JUST KEEP ON ROLLING.

MIGHTY NICE.

LUGGAGE SLIDING TIE DOWN,
AND THEY DON'T HAVE THEM

IN YOUR AVERAGE CAR TRUNKS.

NOR DOES A CAR...

- THEY HAVE THEM IN SUVs.
- ...HAVE A TAILGATE.

IT'S NOT AN SUV
THERE'S NO ROOF ON IT.

CAR IS SO CONFUSED, IT
DOESN'T KNOW WHAT IT IS.

NO, YOU DON'T KNOW
WHAT IT IS.

THAT LOOKS GOOD.

ALRIGHT, TIME TO GO HOME.

WE PICKED THIS WHEEL BASICALLY
FOR THAT NOSTALGIC FLAVOR.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE WHEELS,
EVERYBODY CAN HAVE A MEMORY

OFF THIS WHEEL THAT'S IN
THE HOT-ROD INDUSTRY.

KIND OF A TIMELESS DESIGN.

THESE WHEELS GO PERFECT
WITH ALL THE CUSTOM WORK

THAT WE'VE DONE SO FAR.

- HEY!
- SORRY!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING,
SLEEPING ON THE JOB?

YOU GOTTA CARE FOR
THE OLD PEOPLE.

- WHAT?
- NOTHING.

- OLD PEOPLE, HUH?
- YEAH.

- YEAH, SEE YA LATER.
- PLEASE!

THE SSR HAS COME
A REALLY LONG WAY

SINCE IT CAME INTO THE SHOP,

AND NOW EVEN THE HATERS
ARE STARTING TO ADMIT

THAT IT LOOKS AWESOME.

I THINK IT'S GONNA BLOW
DR. SCOTT'S MIND.

SO, LAST TIME
WHEN YOU CAME IN,

YOU BROUGHT US YOUR SSR,

AND ONE THING YOU KEPT
CALLING IT WAS CUTE

AND I SAID "YOU KNOW WHAT?

WE DON'T REALLY BUILD CUTE
AT CLASSIC CARS STUDIO."

SO, WE TOOK IT IN
THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION.

WE MADE IT
A LITTLE BIT EDGIER.

ARE YOU READY TO SEE IT?

I CAN'T WAIT.

IS IT OVER THERE?

WHOA!

DUDE!

- THAT'S AWESOME.
- LET'S GO SEE IT UP CLOSE.

WHEN I FIRST
CAME AROUND THE CORNER,

I KNEW IT WAS AN SSR, AND THE
COOLEST SSR I'VE EVER SEEN.

I JUST COULDN'T HAVE
IMAGINED MINE

BEING TRANSFORMED INTO THAT.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT
THAT CRAZY PAINT COLOR?

INCREDIBLE.
IT'S UNBELIEVABLE.

ISN'T THAT WILD?

FROM FAR AWAY, IF YOU CATCH
IT AT THE RIGHT ANGLE,

IT'S KIND OF JUST
A REAL NICE BROWN.

BUT THEN, ALL OF THE SUDDEN, YOU
GET THAT METALLIC THAT POPS.

UNBELIEVABLE.
IT'S PERFECT.

AND THEN THE HEADLIGHTS WERE
JUST A LITTLE TOO BRIGHT

SO JASON SPRAYED SOME
BLACK PEARL OVER IT

WHICH JUST DARKENED THEM UP
A LITTLE BIT

AND KINDA PULLS THEM INTO
THE REST OF THE BODY COLOR.

THE GRILLE WAS A
CHALLENGE FOR US

BECAUSE IT WAS PLASTIC AND
THEY WERE THE BODY COLOR.

SO WE SCANNED THE ENTIRE
FRONT OF THE TRUCK

AND THEN THESE NEW BARS
WERE CUT ON A CNC MACHINE,

AND THEY ARE
100% SOLID BILLET.

DEFINITELY GIVES IT
A REALLY BADASS LOOK.

- IT WAS A SMILEY FACE.
- YEAH.

- YOU'VE MADE IT POP.
- EXACTLY.

AND THEN, WE WANTED TO PUT
SOMETHING ELSE ON THE HOOD

SO WE ACTUALLY 3-D
PRINTED THESE VENTS.

I JUST LOVE THE WAY
THE FRONT OF THIS THING POPS,

AND I HOPE YOU DO,
AS WELL.

OH, IT'S AMAZING.

SOMEHOW THE ORIGINAL DESIGNERS

GOT THE GRILLE WRONG.

IT JUST CHANGES
THE LOOK OF THE CAR,

MAKES IT MUCH MORE AGGRESSIVE.

WALKING AROUND THE SIDE,
THE STANCE WAS IMPORTANT.

SO WE'VE GOT A BRAND-NEW
AIR RIDE SUSPENSION

ALL THE WAY AROUND,
SO YOU'VE GOT A COUPLE

DIFFERENT RIDE SETTINGS.

THIS ONE'S KIND
OF CLOSE TO LOWEST

BUT IT GIVES IT
A NICE, TOUGH LOOK.

FEELS UP THE WHEEL-WELL
A LITTLE BIT,

WHICH WE'RE DOING WITH
A REALLY COOL 20-INCH WHEEL.

ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS,

WE GOT RID OF THE ORIGINAL
PLASTIC RUNNING BOARDS,

AND MARK HAND-MADE
THESE OUT OF METAL.

THEY'RE NICE, SLEEK, THEY'VE
GOT A COOL CURVE TO THEM.

THEY REALLY KIND OF FIT IN WITH
THE BODY A LITTLE BIT BETTER.

CAUSE THE OTHER ONES, KIND
OF LIKE THE FRONT GRILLE

AND THE WHEELS JUST LOOKED
A LITTLE BIT PLASTIC.

THIS IS JUST
SO MUCH BETTER.

THE GUYS THAT
DESIGNED THAT TRUCK

ARE GONNA BE EMBARRASSED
WHEN THEY SEE THIS.

LET'S CHECK OUT THIS REALLY
COOL INTERIOR THAT BRYAN DID.

YOU KNOW, WE THOUGHT
IT LOOKED SO SLEEK

BUT THERE WERE THINGS
THAT WERE INTERRUPTING

THE SLEEKNESS OF THE TRUCK,
AND WE WANTED TO TAKE IT

AND JUST KIND OF
SMOOTH IT ALL OUT.

SO WE GOT RID OF
THOSE BIG ARCHES

'CAUSE WE WANTED TO
CREATE A NICE FLOW

FROM BASICALLY THE
TOP OF THE DASH

ALL THE WAY TO THE
BACK OF THE TRUCK,

AND THAT WAS NOT GONNA WORK
WITH THOSE BIG HOOPS.

SO FROM THERE,
HE DECONSTRUCTED THE SEATS,

RE-FOAMED THEM,
MADE ALL THESE CUSTOM PANELS

OUT OF REALLY HIGH-QUALITY
RELICATE LEATHER,

RE-DID THE DOOR PANELS,

AND THEN SOME MORE OF THAT
ROOT BEER IN THE CENTER CONSOLE,

CUSTOM-WRAPPED LEATHER
STEERING WHEEL.

YOU GUYS ARE GOOD.

THE AMOUNT OF DETAIL
THAT GOES INTO CHANGING

AN INTERIOR LIKE THAT
IS JUST INCREDIBLE.

IT'S MUCH MORE LUXURIOUS NOW.
IT'S JUST EXTRAORDINARY.

WHOA.

SO WE NOW HAVE...

UNBELIEVABLE.

...IN PLACE OF THE OLD
ENGINE, THE LSA.

SO THIS IS A SUPER-CHARGED
ENGINE NOW.

IT MAKES 556 HORSEPOWER,

AND IT CONNECTS TO
THE LATEST AND GREATEST --

THE 4L75-E TRANSMISSION.

SO IT'S GONNA BE JUST AS
RELIABLE AS THE OLD MOTOR.

A LITTLE BIT MORE MODERN,
AND A LOT MORE POWERFUL.

IT WAS TOO CUTE,
DIDN'T HAVE A GOOD STANCE,

AND THE POWER WAS UNDERWHELMING.

IT'S NOW KENDRICK LAMAR'S SSR

THAT HE LOANS OUT TO
HANK WILLIAMS JR.

ON THE WEEKEND.
IT'S JUST AN INCREDIBLE MACHINE.

THERE'S ONLY ONE THING
REALLY LEFT TO DO.

- WE'VE GOTTA DRIVE.
- LET'S GO.

EXHAUST SOUNDS NICE.

YEAH, IT'S GOT
A GREAT NOTE TO IT.

SITTING IN THE NEW SSR

IS LIKE SITTING IN A RACECAR.

IT'S JUST AMAZING.

LOTS OF POWER -- A LOT
MORE THAN IT HAD BEFORE.

OH, YEAH.

IT'S A TRUCK
THAT DRIVES LIKE A RACECAR

THAT'S BUILT INSIDE
LIKE A ROLLS-ROYCE

AND THE ENGINE IS
A SUPER-CHARGED CADILLAC,

BUT THIS IS DEFINITELY A TRUCK.
