Man: HE'S AN ARTIST WHEN IT COMES TO BUILDING VEHICLES.
I WISH I HAD HALF OF THAT VISION.
Man #2: THERE'S NOBODY BUILDING CARS LIKE THAT.
HE'S THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX.
HE SEES POTENTIAL IN EVERYTHING.
Chad: I FOUND CARS IN THE RIVERBANK,
ROLLED OVER IN THE WOODS.
JUNK, CRASHED, MASHED -- IT DOESN'T MATTER.
WHEN I SEE A CAR ALL RUSTY LIKE THAT,
IT MEANS PLAYING.
Jolene: THESE CARS, LIKE, THE METAL IS HIS CANVAS,
AND WHATEVER HE SEES -- A WORLD THAT DAY,
THAT'S WHAT HE'S GOING TO PORTRAY IN THE BUILD.
Chad: AND SOMETIMES I DON'T FIND THE CARS...
WHOO-WHOO!
...THE CARS FIND ME.
-OH, MAN. -WOW.
LOOK AT THAT! SHE GOT A BUM CRACK!
[ LAUGHS ]
IT'S CHRISTMAS MORNING.
HARD TO BELIEVE SOMEONE WOULD GIVE US A CAR.
WE HAVE A LITTLE FACEBOOK PAGE.
I JUST GO ON THERE AND TELL PEOPLE WHAT I'M DOING,
AND THIS MAN -- HE SAID THAT HE HAD A CAR FOR ME.
IT'S A 1934 DeSOTO AIRFLOW. ALRIGHT, BABE.
WELL, THAT'S COOLER THAN DANG, RIGHT?
I'M GOING TO MAKE SOMETHING OF IT.
I'M NOT QUITE SURE YET.
I DON'T WANT TO BUILD A CAR THAT SOMEONE ELSE HAS BUILT.
I BUILD WHAT I WANT TO BUILD,
AND IT'S SOMETHING DIFFERENT ALL THE TIME.
THOSE WHO BEAT TO THEIR OWN DRUM SHAPE THE WORLD.
MY CARS ARE GONNA SHAPE THE WORLD.

[ ENGINE REVVING ]
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY. IT IS.
MAKES ME HAPPY THAT WE'RE, YOU KNOW,
THAT WE'RE GETTING WORK, THINGS ARE GOING FORWARD, RIGHT?
WE'RE ON OUR WAY TO SEE JAMES TO SEE ABOUT
A CUSTOM CAR BUILD HE WANTS US TO DO FOR NOGGINS FARM.
THEY'RE A LOCAL APPLE FARM THAT'S BEEN AROUND FOR YEARS.
THEY'RE KNOWN FOR MAKING HARD CIDER.
OH. [ LAUGHS ]
WHEN I WAS A YOUNG BOY, MY PARENTS MADE ME WORK.
I LEFT SCHOOL AT THE AGE OF 16.
I HAD A FEW COURT INCIDENTS.
WHEN YOU GET DOWN, YOU FIND MOTIVATION,
BUT SOME PEOPLE WOULD GO TO CHURCH,
SOME PEOPLE WOULD, I DON'T KNOW, GO TO HOCKEY GAMES.
WELL, I FOUND CARS IN THE GARAGE.
I HAD A VISION FOR WHAT I WANTED AND FOR MY LIFE.
I WANT TO BE THE BEST IN THE WORLD, LEAVE A LEGACY BEHIND.
THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO DO.
MORNING, JAMES. WELL, WELL, WELL.
WHAT HAVE WE GOT HERE?
OH, IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY, MAN. HAD TO GET THE CAR OUT.
SO, YOU PLAYING IT LOW-KEY TODAY?
OH, YEAH. TAKING THE BACK ROADS.
NO ONE KNOWS WE'RE EVEN OUT.
James: CHAD AND I ARE FRIENDS.
I'M A HUGE FAN OF THE KIND OF CARS THAT HE BUILDS.
EVERYBODY SEES HIM ROLLING AROUND
AND MAKING THEIR NOISE AND DOING WHAT THEY DO.
[ ENGINES REVVING ]
**
WHAT I WANTED TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT
IS SOME SORT OF PROMOTIONAL VEHICLE,
WHERE, YOU KNOW, WE CAN TAKE TO FESTIVALS
AND GET IT OUT THERE WHERE THE PUBLIC CAN SEE IT
AND GET OUR NAME OUT THERE.
A CIDER-MOBILE.
A CIDER-MOBILE, YES. A CIDER MACHINE.
Jolene: THE NOGGINS COMMISSION IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR US.
WE'VE NEVER DONE A PROMOTIONAL CAR, AND WE'RE EXCITED
AND, YOU KNOW, WE'RE PUTTING OUR NAME OUT THERE.
WE COULD DO ANYTHING.
LIKE, WE COULD MAKE A CARRIER OR TANKER OF THE STUFF.
SOME KIND OF TRUCK, LIKE A DELIVERY TRUCK OF CIDER.
WE'LL BUILD YOU SOMETHING SO COOL THAT, YEAH,
PEOPLE WILL WANT TO DRINK OUT OF IT. HOW'S THAT?
WELL, I TELL YOU WHAT -- WHY DON'T WE GET THE IDEA
SORTED OUT, I'LL CALL THE OWNERS,
AND WE CAN ALL MEET AT THE STORE IN A LITTLE BIT.
OKAY. THANKS, JAMES.
ALRIGHT. APPRECIATE IT.
COME ON, BABE, LET'S GO FOR A COFFEE.
**
Chad: I HAVE A SMALL SHOP IN A SMALL TOWN,
BUT I WANT TO GET BIGGER.
HOPING THIS CAR WILL HELP ME DO THAT.
**
-HEY. -HEY THERE, CHAD.
HEY, JAMES.
THIS IS CAROLINE, AND THIS IS ANDREW RIGHT HERE.
THIS IS THE OWNER HERE?
THIS IS THE MAN WE NEED TO TALK TO?
YOU GUYS WANT TO HAVE A LOOK AROUND AND CHECK THE PLACE OUT?
I'D LOVE TO.
Woman: THE BISHOPS SETTLED HERE IN 1760.
THIS IS MY GREAT-GRANDFATHER --
MY GRANDMOTHER'S GRANDFATHER,
A.R. STERLING.
WHAT YEAR IS THAT CAR, BABE?
I'M THINKING, I DON'T KNOW, PROBABLY MID-'30s,
'37 PROBABLY.
HERE'S SOME OF OUR CIDER IN VARIOUS STAGES
OF GETTING READY TO FERMENT OR SETTLING.
PHEW.
I SMELL A HANGOVER IN THAT.
[ LAUGHTER ]
WHEN I WAS A YOUNG MAN, I HAD TO PICK APPLES AFTER SCHOOL.
I WENT TO THE APPLE ORCHARD, AND I PICKED APPLES.
AND IF I DIDN'T PICK FAST ENOUGH,
THEM THINGS WERE DROVEN AT ME, RIGHT?
"OH, YOU BETTER START PICKING, BOY."
YOU KNOW, A CHILDHOOD MEMORY.
Chad: SO, I JUST GOT MY HANDS ON A CAR
THAT COULD BE THE PERFECT STARTING POINT FOR YOUR TRUCK.
IT'S GOING TO BE IN A 1934 DeSOTO AIRFLOW.
AND THAT OLD TRUCK THAT SITS IN FRONT OF YOUR DOOR THERE,
I'M SURE YOU'LL HAVE PEOPLE COME IN AND SAY, "WHAT IS THAT?"
YEAH. "MAY I BUY AN APPLE?"
[ LAUGHTER ] YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?
OR "CAN I HAVE SOME CIDER?" OR "WHAT IS THAT?"
"CAN I DRINK AN APPLE?" RIGHT?
THE WAY IT ROLLS WITH US -- WE CHARGE BY THE HOUR.
IT'S 250 HOURS BEING WORKED ON IT EACH WEEK,
AND WE'RE TRYING TO KEEP THE BUDGET WITHIN $25,000
FOR PARTS AND MATERIALS.
SO, LIKE, FOR YOU GUYS TO BUY IT OUTRIGHT,
IT WOULD BE $50,000.
PEOPLE SAY I HAVE APPLE JUICE FLOWING IN MY VEINS.
I'VE ONLY KNOWN YOU FOR A VERY SHORT TIME
AND I SEE THAT YOU'VE GOT THE PASSION,
AND I KNOW VERY WELL THAT WHEN I SEE THAT, IT'S A DONE DEAL.
-FOR SURE. -OKAY?
OUR FIRST COMMISSION, AND I'M VERY HAPPY WITH IT.
LIKE, VERY NICE PEOPLE.
THEY'RE PASSIONATE ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE DOING.
THE FATHER WAS VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT --
AND HE COULD SEE MY PASSION.
A GOOD MARRIAGE.
**
THIS IS WHAT WE'RE DOING -- WE GOT COMMISSIONED
TO BUILD A TRUCK FOR NOGGINS.
BUT WE'RE GOING TO BUILD IT OUT OF A CAR.
THIS MAN, HIS NAME IS SHELDON, MESSAGED JOLENE ON THE COMPUTER
THAT HE HAD A '30s AIRFLOW AND THAT HE WOULD GIVE IT TO US.
HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THERE'S PEOPLE OUT THERE LIKE THAT.
I LIKE ALL THE ROUNDNESS AND THE ROUND GRILLE IN IT.
BACK IN THE '30s, A LOT OF STUFF WAS SQUARE.
WE'RE GOING TO CUT IT IN HALF SO WE CAN EXTEND IT 10 TO 12 FEET.
WE'LL BE ADDING A SECOND REAR AXLE FOR STABILITY AND STYLE.
WE'LL USE THE FRONT AND THE REAR OF THE TRUCK
TO KEEP THE ART DECO LOOK,
BUT THE REST OF THE TRUCK WILL BE BUILT FROM SCRATCH.
AND WE'RE GOING TO MAKE IT FROM OUR BRAIN.
WE GOT NO MEASUREMENTS, WE GOT NO SCHEMATICS,
WE GOT NO NOTHING.
ALL WE'RE GOING TO DO IS TAKE IT OUTSIDE
AND LOOK AT IT ONCE IN A WHILE AND SEE IF WE LIKE IT.
IT WOULD BE A GOOD PROMOTIONAL VEHICLE,
AND IT'S GOOD EXPOSURE FOR US 'CAUSE THERE'S SO MANY PEOPLE
THAT GO THERE, THEN GO OUR WAY, TOO.
I HAVE A REALLY TIGHT TEAM AT MY SHOP, YOU KNOW?
JOLENE KEEPS US ALL STRAIGHT.
SHE KEEPS ME STRAIGHT, THAT'S FOR SURE.
-LOOKS AMBITIOUS. -IT IS VERY AMBITIOUS.
I'M GOING TO WANT YOU TO DO ALL THE WOOD, AARON, IF YOU CAN,
WOOD THE THING, RIGHT, FRONT AND BACK.
AARON, HE'S OUR WOOD GUY IN THE SHOP.
EVERYTHING WE DO, WE LIKE TO PUT A LITTLE WOOD IN IT.
Alex: DOES IT STILL HAVE THE MOTOR IN IT?
ALEX IS A MECHANIC FROM HEAVEN.
HE CAME TO ME IN A TIME OF NEED.
IT DOES. I DON'T KNOW IF IT RUNS OR NOT, BUT I HOPE SO.
OKAY. I HOPE SO.
Colton: THAT LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF FABRICATION.
COLTON IS MY SON.
HE'S STEPPING UP. HE HAS TO STEP UP.
YOU'LL SEE IN THE END EXACTLY HOW WE DO IT,
'CAUSE YOU KNOW WHY?
YOU'RE GONNA BE WELDING IT. [ CHUCKLES ]
THERE'S NO BETTER TIME TO LEARN.
THIS IS A PERFECT WELDING PROJECT FOR YOU ACTUALLY.
COLTON'S DOING GOOD.
HE HASN'T LIVED WITH ME LONG, BUT HE'S A PART OF MY TEAM NOW.
HAVE YOU JUST TEAR APART AND KEEP BUSY.
IF SOMEBODY NEEDS SOMETHING, GO GET IT FOR THEM.
MY FIRST BUILD, I DID A LOT OF SWEEPING AND STUFF,
BUT I KIND OF LEARNED HOW TO USE ALL THE TOOLS AND EVERYTHING.
I'M ON THIS TEAM NOW, AND EXPECTATIONS GO UP A LITTLE BIT.
I'M GONNA TRY TO BECOME THE BEST, I GUESS.
Chad: HERE WE GO, PEOPLE. WE'RE GOING TO BUILD A TRUCK.
-WHOO-WHOO. -LET'S GET AT IT. COME ON.
LET'S DO IT. YEAH. LET'S GO.
**
-READY? -YEAH.
AWESOME. ALRIGHT.
Jolene: WOW. I LOVE IT.
BUILDING A CAR FOR MYSELF,
I JUST WANT TO GET AT IT ALL THE TIME.
I JUST WANT TO GO, GO, GO, GO, GO.
WHEN YOU'RE BUILDING A CAR FOR SOMEBODY ELSE, YOU KNOW,
I HAVE TO VISUALIZE WHAT THEY WANT, TOO, RIGHT?
YOU HAVE TO TAKE YOUR TIME AND MAKE SURE
YOU'RE HITTING THE RIGHT BUTTON FOR THE RIGHT PEOPLE.
I WANT RILEY AND COLTON TO TEAR THE INSIDE.
I GUESS, AARON, YOU MAY AS WELL HELP TEAR THE INSIDE, I GUESS.
WE'LL ALL TEAR THE INSIDE APART AND CLEAN IT OUT.
**
Colton: WELL, WITH THIS BUILD HERE, I KNOW A LOT MORE THAN
I KNEW IN THE LAST ONE, SO I'M DEFINITELY
GOING TO TAKE CHARGE OF MORE THINGS AND TRY TO...
YOU'RE A TEAM MEMBER THIS TIME.
Aaron: CHAD'S PROBABLY ALREADY BUILT THIS THING IN HIS HEAD,
SO AS IT GOES ALONG,
HE'LL DIVULGE A LITTLE MORE INFO ON THIS.
Chad: WHEN YOU SEE A CAR AND IT'S ALL RUSTY
AND IT'S GOT HOLES IN IT,
IT'S TELLING YOU EXACTLY WHAT IT NEEDS.
IT WON'T LIE TO YOU, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S STRIPPED DOWN
AND YOU'RE LOOKING AT IT.
GREATEST THING IN THE WORLD.
RECYCLE, REUSE, RIGHT?
Jolene: OH, IS THAT THE ASH TRAY?
THAT'S COOLER THAN DANG RIGHT THERE, EH?
AN ASH TRAY RIGHT INSIDE THE ARM REST.
RIGHT NOW, WE'RE JUST TRYING TO CLEAN IT UP.
ALL THE GARNISH MOLDINGS ARE COMING OFF,
ALL THE DIRT'S COMING OUT.
THIS OLD CAR.
I THINK WE STOLE SOMEBODY ELSE'S HOME.
YEAH, IT SMELLS LIKE PISS IN HERE.
PHEW. THAT THING STINKS.
OH, THERE'S THE -- [ GAGS ]
[ LAUGHTER ]
I'M DONE WITH THAT.
NO, NO. WE AIN'T DONE WITH THAT.
NO, NO.
THAT'S WHERE THEY'RE PISSING.
BAG AND TAG THAT, COLTON. I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
THEY'RE GONNA CUT THIS THING IN HALF.
I'M JUST GOING TO GET MY SON TO HELP ME.
WHERE YOU CUTTING HER AT?
CUTTING HER RIGHT THERE.
YOU WANT TO START CUTTING HER OFF?
START CUTTING HER OFF.
I LIKE TO MAKE DECISIONS ON THE FLY ON A BUILD.
THERE IS NO RULES HERE.
WE JUST DO WHAT WE DO AND MAKE IT WORK.
THE BETTER YOU CUT THE LINE, THE HAPPIER I'LL BE.
**
THERE'S ALL KINDS OF TOOLS I CAN'T AFFORD.
IF YOU LOOK AROUND IN MY SHOP,
THERE'S PROBABLY NOT A LOT OF TOOLS
THAT I HAVE THAT BIG SHOTS HAVE.
THAT'S HOW EASY I COULD WRECK YOUR CAR.
READY? [ GROANS ]
RIGHT ON, BABY.
RIGHT ON. -[ CHUCKLES ]
MY RUNNING BOARD'S GOING.
ALRIGHT. WE'RE GOING.
LAND IT.
I LOVE IT.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE ENGINE YET.
YOU WANT TO SEE IF YOU CAN GET THIS BAD BOY RUNNING?
-YEP. -THAT'D BE AWESOME.
'CAUSE IF IT RUNS, WE'RE USING IT.
THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1934 AIRFLOW ENGINE.
IT'S A GOOD, OLD STRAIGHT-SIX FLATHEAD.
I DO BELIEVE THAT ENGINE WAS REBUILT AT ONE TIME.
AARON, JUST HIT THAT KEY THERE FOR A SEC.
[ ENGINE SPUTTERS ]
HMM. PROBABLY HAVE TO TAKE THE STARTER OFF.
THE ENGINE, IT WON'T ROLL OVER, THE COMMON ISSUE WITH STARTERS,
SO I'M GOING TO HAVE TO PULL IT, CLEAN IT,
TRY TO GET THE STARTER TO WORK TO TURN THE ENGINE OVER.
NOW, I DON'T WANT TO PULL THIS MOTOR AND TRY TO PUT ANOTHER MOTOR IN.
NOW, LET'S GET REAL.
DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH MORE WORK THAT'S INVOLVED?
WE MAY AS WELL USE WHAT WE HAVE TO MAKE
THE BUILD MORE EFFICIENT.
WHEN YOU'RE A YOUNG MAN AND YOU WANT SOMETHING
AND YOU DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING, YOU USE WHAT YOU'VE GOT.
READY?
[ ENGINE SPUTTERS ] [ CHUCKLES ]
TURN IT AGAIN.
COME ON, BABY. COME ON, BABY.
[ ENGINE CLACKS, TURNS OVER ]
COME ON, GIRL!
COME ON, BABY!
[ LAUGHS ] NO WAY!
THE ENGINE SEEMS TO WORK FINE.
BUT IF WE STICK WITH THIS STARTER,
IT WON'T LAST VERY LONG.
WE'RE GOING TO NEED ANOTHER STARTER.
Chad: IT'S DAY 1, AND THE MOTOR'S BEEN STARTED,
THE CAR'S BEING STRIPPED, THE CAR'S BEEN CUT IN HALF.
I THINK I'VE GOT THE A-TEAM.
AND WE'RE GETTING SO MANY THINGS DONE,
I THINK WE MIGHT TAKE TOMORROW OFF.
I'M LYING.
**
THIS STUFF IS ALL USEABLE STUFF, EVERY BIT OF IT.
TOOK ON PROBABLY A BIT MUCH ON THIS ONE.
OH, MY GOSH.
THAT IS SO NOT WHAT I WAS THINKING
IT WAS GOING TO LOOK LIKE.
**
Chad: YESTERDAY, THIS WAS AN INTACT 1934 DeSOTO AIRFLOW.
TODAY, WE'RE GOING TO MAKE A CIDER TRUCK OUT OF IT.
I ALWAYS BUILD CARS FOR MYSELF.
YEAH, IT'S WHAT I WANTED.
THIS NOGGIN DEAL IS THE FIRST TIME
THAT A COMPANY HAS PAID ME TO BUILD A CAR.
MAKE THE COOLEST LITTLE CIDER TRUCK
YOU'VE EVER SEEN IN YOUR LIFE.
[ METAL GRINDING ]
SORRY, FELLAS. WE'RE IN A WORKING ENVIRONMENT.
YOU'RE GOING TO THINK HOT -- [ METAL GRINDS ]
YOU'RE GOING TO THINK HOT WHEELS TOOK OVER.
KEEP TALKING. [ CHUCKLES ]
NEVER TURN YOUR BACK ON ANYBODY.
I'VE MISSED OUT ON A LOT OF THINGS THAT --
ME AND MY SON NOT GROWING UP TOGETHER.
HE LIVED IN ANOTHER COUNTY.
HE'S FOUR HOURS AWAY. DIDN'T GET TO SEE HIM MUCH.
FEELS GOOD TO MAKE UP FOR SOME LOST TIME.
ALL AIR TOOLS JUST REMIND ME OF UZIS.
[ DRILL WHIRS ]
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?
HE'S SOMETHING LIKE ME --
STRONG LIKE HORSE, BUT DUMB LIKE DOZER.
SO, WE'RE JUST GONNA CUT IT OFF HERE,
STRETCH HER ALL THE WAY BACK, BE NICE AND FLAT,
AND THAT'S HOW IT ROLLS HERE.
WE JUST ROLL, ROLL, ROLL UNTIL WE GET IT DONE.
**
WHEN I LOOK AT A JUNK CAR,
I SEE THE FINISHED VERSION IN MY HEAD.
YES, I DO. I SEE THE SHAPE OF THE CAR WHEN I LOOK AT IT.
THAT'S WHAT I SEE -- THE SHAPE.
WE'RE GOING TO PUT ONE WHEEL RIGHT HERE,
AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO PUT ANOTHER WHEEL BEHIND IT.
AND THEN WE'RE GONNA MAKE A FENDER
THAT DOES BOTH OF THE WHEELS.
THE BACK OF THE TRUCK WILL COME DOWN HERE,
AND THE BACK OF THE FENDER'S GOING TO COME DOWN
AND SWOOP PAST.
WE WANT THE WHEELS INSIDE THE STRUCTURE OF THE TRUCK,
AND WE'RE GONNA HAVE A DUAL-WHEEL TRUCK FROM 1934.
IT'S GONNA BE RARE AS HEN'S TEETH.
HENS DON'T HAVE TEETH. [ LAUGHS ]
I EVEN KEEP OLD FENDERS, OLD METAL, STUFF LIKE THAT.
GO OUT BACK AND CHECK IT OUT AND SEE WHAT I GOT,
AND THEN WE'LL GO FROM THERE.
WELL, THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE THEM FOR --
SO WHEN WE BUILD STUFF, WE HAVE [BLEEP] TO USE.
THIS STUFF IS ALL USEABLE STUFF, EVERY BIT OF IT.
YOU KNOW, THERE'S A COUPLE OF HOODS THERE THAT ARE REAL NICE.
THERE'S A COUPLE OF CHEV FENDERS THERE, REAL NICE.
I CAN BUILD ANYTHING WITH ANYTHING, YOU KNOW?
ONE MAN'S TREASURE IS ANOTHER MAN'S JUNK.
THIS LITTLE SHOP IN TOWN,
THEY'LL SELL YOU THESE TRAILER FENDERS FOR $37.99.
I LIKE THAT IT HAS THIS CONTOUR ON THE SIDE,
AND I USE THEM TO MAKE [BLEEP] LIKE THIS.
THIS IS A FENDER FOR A TRAILER I MADE.
JUST SET THAT UP THERE ON TOP.
WE'RE GOING TO COMBINE THE FENDERS TO MAKE ONE BIG ONE.
CUT IT OFF HERE.
SO, NOW WHAT I'M GONNA DO IS,
I'M GOING TO MAKE A FENDER SKIRT FOR THIS TRUCK,
AND I'M GOING TO MAKE THEM LONGER
'CAUSE I GOT A DUAL-WHEEL ON THE BACK.
SO I'M GOING TO CUT IT HERE, LENGTHEN IT OUT WITH THIS,
AND THEN WE'LL HAVE A NICE FENDER ON THE BACK.
WHOA. WHOA.
**
THAT'S COOL AS [BLEEP]
**
Alex: THE STARTER ON THE CIDER TRUCK WAS NO GOOD.
CHAD'S DOING FABRICATION AND STUFF,
SO I'M GONNA HEAD OUT
AND SEE A FRIEND OF MINE, LAURIE LAYTON.
HE SAID HE MIGHT HAVE A STARTER, SO I'M GOING TO GO CHECK.
BEAUTIFUL DAY TO DO IT, TOO.
**
-GOOD DAY, SIR. -GOOD DAY, SIR.
HOW ARE YOU TODAY? GOOD, GOOD.
I RUN A SALVAGE YARD HERE.
THIS IS OUR 50th YEAR.
CHAD'S BEEN COMING HERE SINCE HE WAS A TEENAGER, YEAH.
SO, I HEAR YOU GOT A LOVELY STARTER.
WE GOT A DODGE STARTER.
THAT'S GOOD, THAT'S GOOD.
WE'LL HAVE TO GO OUT BACK A WAYS.
OKAY.
LAURIE'S A PRETTY BIG CHARACTER AROUND HERE.
WE BUY MOST OF OUR METAL AND STUFF FROM HIM.
HE'S A PRETTY GOOD GUY,
AND HE HAS A LOT OF STUFF KICKING AROUND IN HIS YARD.
WE'RE GOING RIGHT THERE.
THIS SHOULD BE YOUR DODGE STARTER.
WHAT IS THIS OLD THING?
IT'S A WELDER.
-WELDER? -YEAH.
WHAT YEAR MIGHT THIS BE?
THE ENGINE IS PROBABLY ABOUT '55, '56.
THE STARTER FROM THE WELDER IS FROM THE SAME SERIES
CHRYSLER ENGINE.
IT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT, BUT IT'S FREE, SO HEY,
I'M GOING TO SEE IF IT WORKS OR NOT.
THINK I LEFT A LITTLE BIT OF MY FINGER IN THERE, TOO.
I'LL SELL THAT TO SOMEBODY ELSE.
[ BOTH LAUGH ]
YOU WANT A DRIVE BACK?
IF I FALL OFF, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.
[ BOTH LAUGH ]
**
Chad: THE CHASSIS IS SAWED. I LIKE WHERE THE FENDERS ARE AT.
TIME TO BUILD THE BODY.
I'D LIKE TO GET THIS TRUCK FRAMED UP
AND GET THE HOOPS ON IT
SO WE CAN ALL SEE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.
JUST KEEP MOVING, RIGHT? JUST KEEP MOVING.
DON'T MATTER HOW FAST YOU GO AS LONG AS YOU DON'T STOP.
DON'T TAKE TOO MUCH TIME, THOUGH.
Jolene: TIME IS MONEY.
THE MORE TIME WE SPEND ON CERTAIN TASKS,
THEN THE MORE TIME AND MONEY IT COSTS US IN THE LONG RUN.
LET'S TAKE OFF AND JUST START ROCK-AND-ROLLING,
SEE WHAT WE CAN GET DONE.
IT'S ALL ABOUT BECOMING EFFICIENT.
Chad: IT'S NOT HARD TO FABRICATE ON YOUR OWN.
YOU SEE A FEW THINGS THAT PEOPLE ARE DOING TO SHOW YOU
WHICH WAY TO GO, WHICH WAY NOT TO GO.
BUT YOU CAN USE YOUR OWN BRAIN HOW TO FABRICATE.
I KNOW HOW TO BEND A PIECE OF METAL.
LEARNT THAT IN SCHOOL, YOU KNOW,
IF YOU WENT TO GRADE 5 OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
AS WE PUT THIS PIPE ON THERE,
EVERYBODY'S STARTING TO SEE WHAT'S GOING ON.
I'M HOPING EVERYBODY SEES IT, BUT I DON'T KNOW.
I TRY TO EXPLAIN IT.
I THINK ALEX UNDERSTANDS.
I TALK TO COLTON SOMETIMES.
HE'S LOOKING THROUGH ME, YOU KNOW?
BUT WE'LL GET THERE.
**
[BLEEP]
RIGHT DOWN MY GLOVE. OOH.
LIKE I TOLD MY SON, HE DOESN'T HAVE TO LIKE ME,
AND I DON'T HAVE TO LIKE HIM.
BUT I DO LIKE HIM, AND I WOULD REALLY ENJOY FOR HIM
TO WORK ON THINGS THAT HE WANTS TO WORK ON.
HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT FEELING THAT WOULD BE.
WE'RE SHEATHING THE TANKER OF THE CIDER TRUCK.
IS THIS WHAT THEY USED TO DO?
CLIMB ON THE OLD FRUIT TRUCK?
THE OLD CIDER TRUCK? OH, WE DIDN'T WELD THAT.
I SHOULDN'T BE TOO HAPPY, SHOULD I?
[ COLTON GROANS ]
WHOOP-WHOOP! LOOK AT THAT!
YOU HAPPY, BOY? -YEAH.
YOU SHOULD BE. PART OF EVERY BIT OF IT.
BRAIN MIGHT BE SOMEWHERE ELSE,
BUT YOU'RE PART OF EVERY BIT OF IT.
WE'VE GOT TO MAKE PIECES FOR THESE NOW,
WE GOT TO RUN ALL THE LEGS FOR THESE,
AND THEN WE JUST GOT TO KEEP SHEATHING IT.
BUT IT'S LOOKING GOOD.
AND THAT'S WHY THEY CALL US "BAD CHAD".
Aaron: BAD CHAD AND THE BANDITS.
HERE WE GO.
Chad: NOW WE'VE ROUGHED THIS TRUCK OUT.
I WANT TO TAKE IT OUTSIDE TO GET A GOOD LOOK AT IT,
MAKE SURE WE'RE ON THE RIGHT TRACK.
WHOOP-WHOOP. LET'S PUT THIS BACK ON HERE
AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS, RIGHT?
PUT THAT ROOF DOWN INSIDE, BOY.
NOT ON TOP. INSIDE.
CAN YOU GET IT INSIDE?
[BLEEP] I'M GOING TO HAVE TO GET A DIFFERENT CLASS
OF LICENSE TO DRIVE THAT THING.
YOU THINK I COULD HAVE BUILT SOMETHING A LOT SMALLER
THAN A SCHOOL BUS, EH?
THIS CIDER TRUCK IS GONNA PROBABLY BE
ONE OF THE LARGEST VEHICLES THAT WE'VE EVER BUILT.
THERE'S A LOT OF METAL AND A LOT OF AREA ON THIS.
SHE'S QUITE LONG.
I THINK WE MIGHT HAVE TO SHOVE THAT UP IN THERE A LITTLE BIT.
I THINK WE MIGHT HAVE TOO MANY ROOF RAFTERS ON HER, MAYBE.
I CAN TELL WHEN A DESIGN DON'T LOOK QUITE RIGHT
'CAUSE IT JUST DON'T LOOK RIGHT.
MAYBE WE SHOULD HAVE SHORTENED IT A LITTLE BIT.
I'M NOT SURE. CUT THREE RAFTERS OFF,
PUT THE BACK ON WHERE WE'VE SHEATHED IT TO.
SO NOW WE CUT DOWN CUT DOWN OUR SHEATHING METAL.
THAT'S PERFECT THAT WE TRIED THAT
'CAUSE I WAS GOING TO SHEATHE IT LAST NIGHT.
THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO DO RIGHT NOW, ACTUALLY.
I WANT TO PULL THAT IN, I WANT TO CUT THE BACK OFF OF IT.
I LIKE LAWN ART, TOO, EH?
THIS IS GOING TO BE A SPIDER.
**
WE'LL GET THIS ASS-END UP IN THERE,
AND THEN YOU'RE GOING TO GRAB THE ASS-END DOWN INSIDE, RIGHT?
ATTABOY.
Colton: IN HIS HEAD, HE THINKS EVERYBODY'S ON THE SAME PAGE,
BUT IN REALITY, HE'S THE ONLY ONE
THAT KNOWS WHAT HE'S GOING TO DO.
GET THAT PUMPED UP IN, THAT ASS COME DOWN THERE,
AND THEN THE FENDER'S SCREWED UP ON TOP.
NOW WE TALKING.
Chad: YOU ARE THE MAN THAT'S BUILDING THE CAR.
IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, JUST STAND BACK AND CHANGE IT.
WHEN YOU BUILD A CAR, THERE IS NO SET PLAN.
YOU JUST GO.
**
Chad: WE'RE AROUND TWO WEEKS INTO OUR BUILD,
AND YOU CAN SEE THE CIDER TRUCK STARTING TO TAKE SHAPE.
WE'VE GOT THE TOP CONNECTED TO THE BACK OF THE CAR,
WE'VE GOT THE BACK CONNECTED TO THE CAR.
AS SOON AS WE STARTED, I WAS WORRIED.
THERE'S A MONTH'S WORTH OF BODYWORK TO DO ON THIS THING.
-HEY. -THERE'S MY SON, COLTON.
-KING COLTON. -IT'S FRIDAY.
I WONDER IF THE HAT'S UP THAT FAR
TO MAKE YOU THINK YOU GOT MORE BRAINS.
-I'M A GANGSTER. -YOU'RE A GANGSTER?
YEAH.
[ LAUGHTER ]
DON'T TURN YOUR BACK ON ANYONE.
LET'S GET A WELDER GOING, BROTHER.
YOU WANT TO WELD ME UP? YEAH, LET'S DO IT.
WELD ME UP. RIGHT HERE.
RIGHT HERE WHERE THAT MARK IS.
[ WELDER CRACKLING ]
I LOVE PLAYING AND WELDING THE CARS.
IT'S ART FOR ME,
BUT IT TAKES A LIFETIME TO BECOME A GOOD WELDER.
COLTON'S JUST FRESH OUT OF SCHOOL.
HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO WORK 12 HOURS A DAY,
SOMETHING YOU DON'T LIKE WITH A BUNCH OF PEOPLE YOU DON'T LIKE.
WELL, I'VE BEEN THERE, AND I FIGURED OUT
THAT I DON'T LIKE THAT.
SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE AT WHERE WE'RE AT.
UNDERNEATH, UNDERNEATH. UP A LITTLE BIT.
THERE YOU GO.
Colton: DAD KNOWS EVERYTHING ABOUT EVERYTHING,
AND HE'S TEACHING ME AS I GO.
I'M GOING TO TRY TO MAKE A CAREER OUT OF IT,
JUST LIKE HE DID.
IF THE DAY COMES WHEN I CAN BE AN AWESOME CAR BUILDER,
DAD'S GOING TO BE THE FIRST ONE BESIDE ME,
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? LIKE, IT'S GOING TO BE GREAT.
Chad: THAT'S AN INCH ABOVE.
I TELL YOU EVERY TIME PUT THE WIRE
WHERE YOU'RE GOING TO WELD IN THE CORNER.
ANYWAYS, LET'S CRUISE ON.
YOU JUST GO AHEAD AND DO WHAT YOU GOT TO DO.
KEEP ROLLING.
YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS YOUR WELD HERE,
OR IT'LL BE BAD CHAD TO MAD CHAD.
YOU HAVE TO KEEP THEM MOTIVATED, TOO, EH?
YOU CAN'T JUST SCREAM AT SOMEBODY.
YOU HAVE TO MOTIVATE THEM, TOO.
I'VE SCREAMED AT HIM A COUPLE OF TIMES,
BUT I STILL TELL HIM I LOVE HIM AND I MOTIVATE HIM.
KEEP WORKING HARD, KEEP WORKING HARD, KEEP WORKING HARD.
THAT A BOY!
GOOD. GOOD! GOOD!
YOU'RE DOING A GOOD JOB.
JUST KEEP WELDING. THAT'S ALL I CAN TELL YOU.
JUST KEEP WELDING.
YOU GONNA MAKE IT RUN?
I'M HOPING.
YOU GOT A STARTER AND EVERYTHING WORKING AND EVERYTHING GOING?
YEAH, THE STARTER BOLT'S ON FINE.
I PUT THE NEW STARTER WE GOT FROM LAURIE'S JUNKYARD ON.
I CLEANED IT UP. NOW IT'S TIME TO SEE IF IT'LL WORK.
I GOT MY FINGERS CROSSED.
I WOULDN'T PUT YOUR FOOT THERE.
NO? WHY NOT?
IS THIS THING GOING TO TURN OVER TODAY?
DUMP SOME GAS DOWN THE CARBURETOR AND LET HER GO.
-READY? -YEP.
[ ENGINE SPUTTERING ]
Chad: COME ON, BABY! GO, BABY! GO, BABY!
[ ENGINE TURNS OVER ]
[ CHEERING ]
HEY!
**
THE MOTOR SEEMS TO BE RUNNING REALLY GOOD --
QUIET, A LITTLE STINKY AT FIRST,
BUT YOU KNOW, HEY, IT'S AN OLD ENGINE.
**
Chad: WE GOT TWO PIECES OF EXHAUST PIPE
AND A HALF SHEET OF METAL.
WE'RE GOING TO PUT THE TOP ON THIS BAD BOY,
HOPE SHE DON'T BLOW HER TOP.
MY INSPIRATION FOR THIS BUILD IS A 1930s-ERA DELIVERY TRUCK.
ART DECO -- LOVE IT.
LOOKS PRETTY STRAIGHT TO ME.
A LOT OF THE ART DECO TRUCKS BACK IN THAT ERA HAD
A TROLLY TOP, AND I REALLY LIKE IT.
WOW, IS THAT THING EVER CROOKED. [ LAUGHS ]
ONE POINT OF THIS IS TOUCHING, THE OTHER POINT ON THE GROUND --
THE OTHER ON THE GROUND ABOUT THAT HIGH.
SO WE KNOW IT'S TWISTED.
THIS TROLLY TOP IS A LITTLE BIT OFF.
IT'S ALMOST LIKE GOING TO A RESTAURANT
AND HAVE A TABLE, YOU KNOW, UNEVEN.
I GOT TO PUT SOMETHING UNDERNEATH THAT TROLLY THERE
AND BRING THAT UP SO THAT IT DOESN'T ROCK BACK AND FORTH.
SEE WHAT I'M SAYING?
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING NOW.
SOMETIMES SOME THINGS NEED AN ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT.
THINK OF THE SIMPLEST THING THAT WORKS TO SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM.
STAND ON IT, MAN.
ALRIGHT.
PRETTY SOLID.
IT IS SOLID, ISN'T IT?
**
CHAD HAS A WAY OF PROBLEM SOLVING
THAT'S NOT LIKE MOST PEOPLE.
**
Chad: JUST GO DOWN A LITTLE BIT.
**
NOT A THING.
THERE'S ONE LAST THING I CAN DO
BEFORE I HAVE TO BUILD A NEW TOP FROM SCRATCH.
LET GO.
[ METAL CLANGS ]
I'LL DO WHATEVER MY BOSS TELLS ME.
LET GRAVITY DO ITS JOB!
-READY? -YEP. YEP.
[ METAL CLANGING ]
**
LIKE IT A LOT BETTER.
HA-HA.
Alex: ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT WORKED?
WELL, I'M THINKING IT DID.
AHA-HA. GOD LOVE HER.
WHO NEEDS A PIPE BENDER?
**
I'M GOING TO CUT THAT DOOR OPEN THERE THIS MORNING.
I'M KIND OF EXCITED TO MAKE THAT, THAT ROUND DOOR.
WE'RE GONNA BUILD THIS A WORKING MAN'S TRUCK,
THIS CIDER TRUCK.
WE'RE GONNA PUT A DOOR ON THE SIDE OF IT
SO WE CAN LOAD AND UNLOAD CIDER BARRELS.
I'M GONNA CUT THIS DOOR OUT FIRST MYSELF,
SO I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO BE BACK THERE
GRINDING, RILEY, OR WHERE YOU WANT TO GRIND.
I HAVE A PLAN, WHICH STARTS WITH CUTTING A HOLE,
AND WE'LL USE THE LEFTOVER PIECE TO MAKE THE DOOR.
[ METAL CLANGS ]
HELLO!
AH!
I HAVE A HINGE LEFTOVER FROM AN OLD BUILD.
I THINK IT'LL BE STRONG ENOUGH.
JUST GOT TO TACK IT IN AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
ALRIGHT, HERE.
[ METAL BANGING ]
IT DOESN'T WORK.
[ METAL CLANGING ]
CAN YOU CUT THE THING IN HALF AND MAKE IT OPEN LIKE THIS?
TELL ME WHAT IT'S GONNA DO WHEN YOU CUT IT IN HALF.
BEFORE YOU MAKE THESE PLANS,
TELL ME WHAT YOU GOT TO DO WHEN YOU CUT IT IN HALF.
TELL ME HOW YOU DO IT.
I'D PUT ANOTHER HINGE ON THIS SIDE, SAME AS THAT,
AND THEN I'D CUT IT IN HALF, I'D FIND MY MIDDLE,
AND THEN HE DOOR WOULD OPEN LIKE THIS, LIKE A CABINET.
SO, YOU FIGURE YOU COULD GET THAT DONE
THIS WEEK OR NEXT WEEK?
IT'S ANOTHER HINGE, IT'S ANOTHER BRACKET,
IT'S ANOTHER [BLEEP] CUT, IT'S ANOTHER WHOLE BUNCH OF STUFF.
JUST GET OUT THERE AND LET ME TAKE OFF THE DOOR.
JUST HOLD HER UP TO THE TOP.
TAKE YOUR FINGERS OUT OF IT. LISTEN TO ME FOR A SECOND.
I CAN'T GET MY FINGERS OUT -- [ METAL CLANGS ]
I HAD TO GET MY FINGERS OUT OF THE BOTTOM.
IT'S OKAY.
NO, IT'S NOT [BLEEP] OKAY.
I BET YOU IT SMASHED THE BODY FILL.
I BET YOU IT'S NOT OKAY.
Jolene: CAN WE JUST LEAVE THE HINGE ON THE OUTSIDE?
THAT WOULD LOOK NICE. IT'S CHROME.
YOU CAN'T PUT THAT ON THE OUTSIDE OF A VEHICLE.
SEE? [BLEEP] BROKE THAT.
SNAPPED THAT [BLEEP] OFF.
IS THERE ANY WAY YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENT THING,
BUT SOMEHOW LIGHTER?
I KNOW IT'S MORE TIME, BUT THAT'S A HEAVY, OLD DOOR
FOR ONE HINGE.
SEE THE SIZE OF THAT HINGE?
I COULD BLUDGEON YOU TO DEATH WITH IT.
CHAD HAS A VERY STRONG VISION WHEN IT COMES TO BUILDING,
AND I THINK SOMETIMES HE GETS FRUSTRATED WITH OTHERS
ON THE TEAM BECAUSE THEY CAN'T SEE IT SO CLEARLY.
[ CHUCKLES ] CAN YOU PICTURE THAT?
BABY, YOU NEED A HOT DOG.
IT'S HARD TO MAKE SOMETHING
WHEN YOU GOT SOMEBODY THROWING SO MANY
[BLEEP] IDEAS AT YOU THAT YOU CAN'T THINK.
WHY'S IT GOT TO BE A METAL CIRCLE DOOR?
WHY CAN'T AARON CUT A PIECE OF WOOD OR SOMETHING?
WE CAN JUST MAKE [BLEEP] TWO SWING-OPEN DOORS.
"DO THIS, BUT DO THAT. DO THIS, DO THAT."
BUT THEY'RE NOT EVEN [BLEEP] THINKING OF THE CONSEQUENCES.
THEY NEED TO MAKE UP THEIR MIND WHAT THEY WANT TO DO, RIGHT?
Colton: IT DOESN'T ALWAYS HAVE TO BE OUT OF METAL.
WHAT IF THAT WAS A NICE ART DECO PIECE OF WOOD,
THE SAME COLOR AS THE INSIDE?
LISTEN, I CAN'T LISTEN TO THIS.
I GOT TO WALK AWAY FROM THAT. THEY'RE DRIVING ME CRAZY.
I DON'T KNOW IF OUR IDEAS JUST THROUGH ONE EAR
AND OUT THE OTHER, BUT...
Jolene: IT'S JUST A MATTER OF WHETHER IF WE HAVE THE TIME,
THOUGH, TO, LIKE, RE-INVENT SOMETHING.
I THINK THAT'S HARD. WE DON'T GOT TO RE-INVENT.
YOU CAN KEEP THE SAME THING. JUST --
LISTEN. BEFORE YOU GIVE ME ANY MORE [BLEEP] IDEAS,
HOW ABOUT YOU WORK THEM OUT IN YOUR BRAIN,
YOU TELL ME EXACTLY HOW TO DO IT.
SO DON'T GIVE ME NO MORE IDEAS
UNTIL YOU KNOW EXACTLY HOW TO DO IT.
SO, WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT SPLITTING THEM IN HALF,
YOU TELL ME WHAT CUT TO MAKE, WHAT TO PUT IN THEM,
WHAT HINGE I'M GOING TO USE ON WHAT SIDE.
YOU MAKE SURE YOU KNOW ALL THAT STUFF.
IF I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT ALL YOUR IDEAS,
HOW THE [BLEEP] CAN I THINK ABOUT WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO?
JUST TRYING TO TO HELP, MAN.
YOU TAKE IT HOWEVER YOU WANT TO.
JUST TRYING TO HELP.
**
Chad: TOOK ME FIVE MINUTES TO CUT THIS CAR IN HALF,
AND I ALREADY SPENT HALF A DAY ON THE HINGE.
IT'S THE DETAILS THAT'LL GET YOU.
I GOT THAT OFF OF JOLENE'S BUGATTI.
IT WAS A HINGE THAT I HAD FOR HER CAR,
AND IT WAS OFF A DOOR WE HAD OUT HERE.
I GOT IT BENT, WHICH HAS ALSO TIGHTENED UP THE HINGE PART
SO THE DOOR DON'T DROP.
I'M GONNA JUST TACK IT.
MY EYEBALLS.
[ METAL CLANGING ]
[BLEEP] JOKE. PULL THAT OPEN.
SHUT IT.
[BLEEP] THING.
Jolene: IT SWINGS OUT.
I DON'T SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS ANYMORE.
OKAY. WELL, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT.
IF YOU PULL THE DOOR OPEN,
IS THE DOOR GONNA STAY WHERE IT'S AT?
THAT'D BE ALMOST LIKE ME MAKING YOU A CAR DOOR,
BUT YOU GOT TO PICK IT UP TO SHUT IT.
AND THEN WHAT HAPPENS IS SOMEONE ELSE COMES OVER,
GOES TO SHUT IT, SMASHES ON THAT,
RIPS THE PAINT OFF, "OH, WE BUILT IT.
YOU HAVE TO PICK IT UP AND SHUT IT."
THAT'S WHAT I'M GETTING AT.
[BLEEP]
Jolene: IT'S DISAPPOINTING THAT IT'S NOT WORKING OUT.
I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE SOLUTION IS.
I DON'T THINK ANYBODY KNOWS.
**
HOT DOGS SMELL GOOD!
**
Chad: I HAVE A LOT RIDING ON THIS CAR.
I DON'T HAVE A BIG SHOP, I DON'T HAVE A BIG NAME,
SO PEOPLE HAVE TO KNOW WHEN I SAY I'M GONNA DELIVER,
I DELIVER ON TIME.
THE NOGGINS FOLKS INVESTED 50 GRAND TO BUILD A CIDER TRUCK.
THAT'S QUITE AN INVESTMENT.
I FOUND THIS HINGE OUTSIDE.
IT'S FOR A TRUNK THAT WOULD COME UP --
THE TRUNK WOULD HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF AN ANGLE TO IT
BECAUSE THIS HINGE HAS A LITTLE BIT OF AN ANGLE TO IT
IF YOU LOOK AT IT. IT'S A LITTLE ON THE SIDE.
I'M JUST THINKING WHEN THE DOOR OPENS,
IT'S GOING TO COME DOWN A LITTLE BIT.
AND I DON'T GIVE A [BLEEP] IF THE DOOR COMES DOWN
A LITTLE BIT, AS LONG AS WHEN IT GOES BACK UP,
IT GOES IN PLACE.
IT'S JUST A MATTER OF GETTING IT ON THERE RIGHT.
THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH THE HINGE --
IT'S DESIGNED TO BE BOLTED ON, NOT WELDED,
SO I'M GOING TO HAVE TO DRILL HOLES IN THE DOOR AND THE BODY.
WE'RE GETTING CLOSE.
Jolene: CHAD HAS A SOLUTION FOR EVERYTHING, YOU KNOW?
HE NEVER GETS STUCK.
HIS ONLY DIRECTION IS FORWARD.
ALRIGHT.
[ JOLENE LAUGHS ]
-YOU SEE THAT? -WHAT?
JUST [BLEEP] WHACKED MESELF IN THE FOREHEAD WITH THAT DOOR.
**
Colton: I THINK WITH THE BOLT HOLES,
IT WILL KEEP IT UP A LOT BETTER THAN A WELD.
OH, YES, I THINK THAT HINGE IS GONNA TO BE A LOT BETTER.
DURABLE. I LOVE YOU.
AND NO HURT FEELINGS.
-ZERO. -ZERO.
THERE YOU GO. THAT'S WHERE I'M AT.
LET'S PUT THIS [BLEEP] DOOR ON.
ALRIGHT. LET'S PUT THIS DOOR ON.
I DON'T WANT COLTON TO GO THROUGH THE STRUGGLES I HAVE.
I'M STILL LEARNING HOW TO BE A MAN MYSELF.
HE'S A GOOD KID.
HE'S GOT A LOT OF LIFE AHEAD OF HIM,
HE'S GOT A LOT OF LEARNING.
HE'LL MAKE IT. I KNOW HE WILL.
HERE SHE GOES. LAST RIVET.
A LITTLE STIFF ON THERE, IS IT?
NOT BAD, BUT IT'S NOT DOING THE SAG LIKE THE OTHER ONE WAS.
THERE'S YOUR [BLEEP] DOOR.
ITS FACE HAS GOT TO BE TWEAKED SOME, BUT IT WORKS.
FIVE WELDS, THREE HANGERS, FIFTEEN CUTS,
AND WE GOT A DOOR THAT FITS.
SEEM WORTH IT?
WELL, IT TOOK WHAT IT TOOK, AND THAT'S WHAT IT TOOK.
**
I'M FABRICATING IN MY SHOP,
AARON'S DOWN AT HIS SHOP MAKING WOOD PIECES.
I LIKE USING WOOD BECAUSE WE'RE BEING A LITTLE DIFFERENT.
A LOT OF THE OLDER CARS BACK THEN USED A LOT OF WOOD.
WHY DON'T WE USE WOOD ANYMORE?
WHAT'S GOING ON, AARON RAND?
HOO, NOT TOO MUCH.
HOW ARE YOU? LOOK AT THIS.
I'VE GOT A KEG. SWEET.
SORRY THERE'S NO LIQUOR IN IT, BUT WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT?
SHOW THAT NOW, WOULD YOU?
SO, THOSE ARE THE DOOR PANELS? YEAH.
YOU'VE PAINTED THEM WHITE, OR SHOULD I TAKE OF ME GLASSES?
MAYBE THEY'RE PINK.
MUST BE THE BOTTOM FOR A BACK OR...
THAT'S GONNA HOUSE YOUR FUEL TANK.
OH. I'VE GOT IT GEARED SO THAT
SO THAT WHEN IT GOES IN THERE,
THAT LIP IT'LL SET THAT FUEL TANK, REST RIGHT ON IT.
SKIDAMERINK-A-DINKY-DOO. YEAH.
THERE ARE A LOT OF COOL THINGS ABOUT WORKING WITH CHAD.
I ACTUALLY QUITE ENJOY HIS PERSONALITY.
MOST OF THE TIME.
YOU GOT THESE BOARDS OVER HERE, TOO.
CAN I TAKE A LOOK AT THOSE? YEAH, SURE.
THE HUMP IN THE BACK.
OKAY. YEP. YEP. YEP. DO THAT.
AND THEN IT HAS THE SPLAT BOARDS ON THE TOP.
THAT LOOKS AWESOME. IT'S GONNA BE COOL.
I LOVE THAT.
I DO HAVE ONE SURPRISE. THAT'S THE BEZEL.
OH, [BLEEP]. I WANT TO SEE THAT.
WOW.
A LITTLE DUSTY.
I MEAN, I GOT A LITTLE DUST IN THE BOTTLE.
I KEEP DRINKING.
WOW. THAT'S FIRETRUCKING NICE, MAN.
THAT'S JUST WHAT I WANTED. THAT'S BEAUTIFUL.
THEY'RE GOING TO MAKE THAT DASH VERY DASHING.
THAT'S RIGHT.
I LIKE EVERYTHING. I CAN'T WAIT.
I GOT TO GO BACK AND START SANDING THAT TRUCK.
NOGGINS, THEY'RE REALLY GONNA BE IN FOR A SURPRISE.
I THINK SO. SERIOUSLY.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, AARON RAND.
I'M HAPPY WITH EVERYTHING. COOL, BUDDY.
I GOT TO GO BACK TO WORK.
SEE, YOU'RE MAKING MY DAY BETTER.
SEE? KEEP IT GOING.
THAT'S RIGHT ON, BROTHER. RIGHT ON.
I UNDERSTAND.
**
Jolene: A LOT OF WORK LEFT TO DO,
BUT AT LEAST WE'RE MOVING FORWARD.
Chad: WE BUILT A BUS.
IT'S A LOT OF AREA. THERE'S A LOT OF SANDING.
I MEAN, THIS IS THREE CARS OVER.
SO WE'RE SANDING AS FAST AS WE CAN,
AND THAT'S ALL WE CAN DO, YOU KNOW?
**
PALSEY'S HERE.
ON SOME BUILDS, WE WOULDN'T SPEND THE MONEY ON THE CHROME.
WE'RE GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME AND SPEND SOME MONEY ON THIS ONE
'CAUSE WE WANT THIS THING TO POP.
LOOK AT THAT. PALSEY. HEY, MAN.
THAT'S NOT A TABLE, IS IT?
BABY, YOU WANT TO COME TAKE A LOOK?
Jolene: YEAH, I DO.
LET'S SEE WHAT... Palsey: SANTA BROUGHT.
I KNOW WHAT SANTA BROUGHT.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THIS NOW.
LISTEN, THIS IS ALMOST LIKE JEWELRY TO ME 'CAUSE
I'VE NEVER HAD IT.
EVERYBODY GRAB A PIECE.
UNWRAP IT.
EVERYBODY GRAB A PIECE.
THIS IS MORE MONEY THAN I WOULD SPEND ON CHROME, EVER.
YEAH. HE DOESN'T LIKE SPENDING MONEY IF HE DOESN'T HAVE TO,
BUT THIS IS A CHANCE TO REALLY INVEST
IN MAKING THE CAR STAND OUT,
AND HOPEFULLY THAT WILL LEAD TO MORE BUSINESS DOWN THE LINE.
CLOCK'S A-TICKING, BOYS.
LET'S PUT SOME BACON ON THE BISCUIT.
LET'S BURN SOME DAYLIGHT. COME ON, MAN.
LET'S ROCK AND ROLL HERE.
I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHAT I'M EXPECTING TO SEE TODAY.
**
OH, MY GOSH.
WHEN I SAY I BUILT THE SHOP, I MEAN I BUILT THE SHOP.
AND I DIDN'T STOP AT THAT.
IF I NEEDED A TOOL, I BUILT THE TOOL.
THIS IS AN ENGLISH WHEEL THAT I HAVE MADE
BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY TO BUY ONE, SO I MADE ONE.
IT'S A WHEEL OFF A CART.
I BURNT THE RUBBER OFF THE WHEEL,
AND THEN I WENT OVER TO THE TRACTOR DEALERSHIP
AND I BOUGHT A BEARING AND JUST USED THAT.
DRILLED A HOLE IN A PIECE OF ROUND PIPE.
FOUND THIS AT THE JUNKYARD. TIGHTENS IT UP.
I JUST MADE A $3,000 MACHINE FOR $250.
I CALL HER THE CHAD WHEEL.
I DON'T KNOW. THE HILLBILLY WHEEL.
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT HE'S GONNA DO, REALLY.
IT'S WHATEVER COMES TO HIS HEAD, I GUESS.
MIGHT BE A CANOE WHEN HE'S DONE.
I DON'T KNOW.
BOATS AND TRAINS AND PLANES,
AND HE'LL USE THEM FOR WHATEVER HE NEEDS TO USE THEM FOR.
**
Chad: ALL THE WORK THAT WE'VE DONE ON THIS CIDER TRUCK
WON'T MEAN ANYTHING IF THE PAINT DON'T POP.
I DECIDED TO TWO-TONE THE TRUCK,
USE THE WHITE AND GREEN THAT NOGGINS USE ON THEIR LOGO.
I'M GOING TO USE URETHANE, SO THAT'S A TWO-DAY JOB.
**
THE LETTERING'S GET DONE TONIGHT AT 6:00.
WE GOT SOME ECCENTRIC DUDES COMING TO DO THAT.
IT'S GOING TO BE FUN.
HOW YOU DOING?
HEY, MAN. RIGHT ON.
WE WANT IT TO RESEMBLE THAT. NOGGINS CIDER.
I'VE BEEN DOING THIS 45 YEARS.
[ INDISTINCTLY SPEAKING ]
-YEAH. -YEAH.
YOU JUST DO WHAT YOU GOT TO DO.
ALEX IS GETTING THE ENGINE RUNNING,
ALL THAT SORT OF STUFF. COLTON AND RILEY RIGHT NOW --
WE GOT A FEW OTHER LITTLE PIECES THAT WE GOT TO PAINT.
YOU'RE PULLING THROUGH, BUDDY.
AARON JUST SHOWED UP WITH THE WOOD FOR THE INTERIOR.
HE'S GOING TO GET THAT IN.
I'M GONNA PUT ON THE SIDE DOOR,
AND JOLENE'S GOING TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING GETS DONE.
SEEING THE CAR WITH PAINT ON IT FOR THE FIRST TIME --
IT'S LIKE SEEING THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL.
LIKE, YOU KNOW IT'S GETTING CLOSE TO BEING DONE, YOU KNOW?
THERE'S SO MUCH MORE THAT HAS TO GO INTO IT,
LIKE THE FINAL TOUCHES, BUT ONCE THE PAINT IS ON,
IT'S LIKE, "ALRIGHT, WE'VE GOT THIS."
I THINK WE'RE GOING TO PULL IT TOGETHER,
AND I ALSO THINK THAT THEY'RE GONNA BE
VERY PLEASANTLY SURPRISED.
ONCE I GET BACK -- I GOT TO GO BACK TO WORK.
-VOILà. -AWESOME.
THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF HEADACHES GOING ON,
AND EVERYONE'S WORKED A LOT OF LATE HOURS.
I'M HAPPY WITH EVERYBODY, YOU KNOW?
I'M HAPPY WITH EVERYBODY'S WORK.
Colton: IT'S A GREAT FEELING WHEN THINGS ARE DONE.
YOU CAN JUST SIT BACK AND YOU'RE LIKE --
CRAZY 'CAUSE YOU'RE EXHAUSTED.
LIKE, I HAVEN'T WORKED SO HARD IN MY LIFE.
I'M JUST HOPING THAT THE BUSINESS GOES FORWARD.
THEY LIKE THIS ONE, AND THEY'RE GOING TO TELL THE NEXT PERSON
AND THEY'RE GOING TO TELL THE NEXT PERSON
AND THEY'RE GOING TO TELL THE NEXT PERSON AND YOU KNOW,
IT JUST CRUISES ON FROM THERE.
OKAY. EVERYBODY GO HOME.
GET OUT OF HERE.
COME ON, BABY. LET'S GO.
COME ON, MAN. GIVE ME SOME LOVE.
Caroline: TODAY'S THE DAY THAT CHAD IS BRINGING THE TRUCK TO THE FARM.
WE'RE REALLY EXCITED TO SEE IT.
WE TOLD A COUPLE OF PEOPLE IT WAS HAPPENING.
WORD GOT OUT, AND HE'S KIND OF A CELEBRITY AROUND HERE,
SO WE HAD A REALLY GOOD TURNOUT.
I AM ABSOLUTELY AMAZED AT THE CAR COMMUNITY.
ALL OF THESE PEOPLE HAVE SHOWED UP,
AND IT'S REALLY BLOWN MY MIND.
I HEARD CHAD WAS REVEALING A CAR TODAY.
THERE'S 150 CARS HERE JUST TO SEE CHAD'S CAR.
HIS STUFF IS JUST INSANE.
IT'S JUST SO DIFFERENT FROM EVERYTHING.
WE DROVE OVER AN HOUR TO GET HERE.
WE'RE SWEATING OUR BUTTS OFF.
BUT IT'S WORTH IT.
**
OH, MY GOSH.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
THAT IS SO NOT WHAT I WAS THINKING
IT WAS GONNA LOOK LIKE.
IT'S ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL.
Chad: FREE CIDER!
[ CHEERING ]
HAVE A LOOK AT IT AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK.
[ CHORAL MUSIC PLAYS ]
**
WHOO-HOO!
Caroline: I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING THAT LOOKS LIKE THAT BEFORE.
Patricia: I KNOW. IT'S A HEAD-TURNER.
IT'S PERFECT FOR MARKETING AND SELLING OUR CIDER.
IT'S AWESOME.
I JUST MADE A WORKING MAN'S TRUCK IS WHAT I MADE IT.
I DIDN'T MAKE ANY GADGETS ON IT, I DIDN'T MAKE ANYTHING FOOLISH.
I JUST MADE IT WHAT I THOUGHT
IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN BACK IN THE DAY.
SO, WHAT WE DID IS MADE A DOOR, AND THAT COMES OUT OF THE SIDE,
AND IF YOU WERE GOING TO DELIVER IT,
I'M SURE WE'D PULL IT ACROSS LIKE THAT.
WE'D TAKE IN TWO BARRELS, AND WE DELIVER IT.
OH, MY GOSH. LOOK AT THOSE KEGS.
AND THEN WE COME BACK OUT AND WE FILL IT BACK UP AGAIN,
I GUESS. -YEAH.
I KNOW. IT'S SO GREAT.
I WANTED TO KEEP IT ART DECO AND KEEP THE CHROME ON.
YEAH, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE A NICE-LOOKING PIECE
FOR ADVERTISEMENT.
-YEAH. -IT DEFINITELY IS.
THE ART DECO LOOK, YOU KNOW?
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF WORK.
LIKE, ALL OF THE WOODWORK DONE INSIDE,
ALL OF THE PAINTING AND THE DECISIONS
ABOUT HOW TO DO, LIKE, THE TRIM AND EVERYTHING.
IT'S REALLY BEAUTIFUL.
IT'S ALSO SUPER-AWESOME TO BE ABLE TO WORK TOGETHER
WITH PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY THAT DO SOMETHING REALLY COOL.
IT'S JUST A REALLY NICE STORY.
Caroline: I'M COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, CAROLINE. IT'S BEEN A PLEASURE.
IT'S WAS SO WONDERFUL WORKING WITH YOU GUYS.
AND IF POSSIBLE, SHOW UP SOMETIME WITH IT.
WE'D LIKE TO SEE IT AROUND.
BRING IT TO A CAR SHOW.
YEAH. YEAH, WE'D LOVE THAT.
DEFINITELY.
Chad: IT'S BEEN A GREAT DAY FOR REVEALING.
I THINK CAROLINE AND HER FAMILY'S HAPPY.
I HOPE THEY SELL LOTS OF CIDER.
THE WEATHER WAS GOOD. YEAH, WE COULDN'T ASK FOR MORE.
THE CARS WERE GOOD, THE PEOPLE WERE GOOD.
WE KILLED IT.
WHAT ELSE DO YOU SAY?
I WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY FOR COMING.
THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE. WOW.
THIS WILL BE MY NINTH YEAR FOR ROCKABILLY WEEKEND.
THIS YEAR, I WANT TO BUILD A BARE-METAL TRUCK
TO GIVE AWAY AT THE CAR SHOW.
WHO WOULDN'T WANT TO WIN THAT?
ON THIS ONE, WE HAVE TO BUILD IT SO FAST.
NO PLANS, NO NOTHING.
HOLD UP, I SAID.
START YOUR ENGINES AND BRING HER OUT.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
AWESOME.
