Chad: I LIVE IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, YOU KNOW?
YOU DRIVE TOO FAR THAT WAY, YOU'LL FALL IN THE WATER.
I'VE LIVED IN THIS COMMUNITY FOR ALL MY LIFE.
I KNOW EVERYBODY THAT HAS CARS AROUND HERE.
PEOPLE THAT I GO TO FOR PARTS ARE PART OF MY COMMUNITY.
I COULDN'T DO WHAT I DO WITHOUT THEIR SUPPORT.
Man: EVERYBODY AROUND HERE IS CAR PEOPLE.
GET LOTS OF GOOD IDEAS FROM LOOKING AT THEIR CARS.
I'VE ALWAYS WANTED A HOT ROD EVER SINCE A LITTLE KID.
I THINK IT'S KIND OF A BROTHERHOOD,
KIND OF BRINGS GUYS TOGETHER.
Chad: I LIKE BEING AROUND PEOPLE THAT ENJOY CARS,
TALKING ABOUT WHAT THEY'VE SEEN, WHAT THEY'VE FOUND,
WHAT THEY'RE DOING ON THEIR BUILD.
IT'S FUN, SO IT'S LIKE I WANT TO HAVE A CAR SHOW,
AND ROCKABILLY WEEKEND IS PROBABLY
THE BEST LITTLE CAR SHOW IN THE WORLD,
AND IT'S MINE.

[ ROCKABILLY MUSIC PLAYING ]
ALWAYS LEAVING EVERYTHING TO THE LAST MINUTE TO GET READY,
THAT'S WHAT WE ALWAYS DO, RIGHT?
PROCRASTINATE, PROCRASTINATE, PROCRASTINATE.
YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT, WHAT, 17 DAYS?
Chad: THIS'LL BE MY NINTH YEAR FOR ROCKABILLY WEEKEND.
IT'S COMING UP.
IT'S A CAR SHOW THAT I HOST ON MY PROPERTY.
WE'RE OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE,
SO WE HAVE TO BRING THE PEOPLE TO US.
WE'RE BRINGING THE BANDS? '50s, RIGHT?
ROCKABILLY MUSIC. LOTS OF CHROME.
GIRLS DRESSED UP. GUYS CLIP THEIR HAIR BACK.
YOU COULD ASK A GIRL TO DANCE WITHOUT HER SLAPPING YOU
IN THE FACE AND SAY, "GET AWAY FROM ME."
YOU KNOW, THAT WAS THE TIME.
I LIKE THEM TIMES, AND IF I CAN HAVE IT IN MY OWN DOORYARD,
IT'S WHAT I'M GONNA DO.
SO WHEN WE GET TO JOHN'S PLACE, KEEP YOUR EYE OUT FOR SOMETHING.
WE NEED A BODY REAL BAD, START THIS BUILD FOR THE CAR SHOW.
THE CAR SHOW HAS BEEN PROFITABLE FOR ME AS A BUSINESS...
**
AND IT'S HELPED ME GET MY NAME OUT.
SO IF I HAVE 250 CARS HERE EVERY CAR SHOW,
WELL, THEM 250 PEOPLE AND EVERY ONE OF THEM CARS
AND EVERYBODY THAT'S BEEN HERE CAN SEE WHAT I'M DOING.
LAST YEAR, WE GAVE AWAY A '32 FORD ON A RAFFLE.
Man: THIS TRUCK IS BAD!
[ TIRES PEAL, ENGINE REVS ]
THIS YEAR, I WANT TO BUILD A BARE-METAL TRUCK
TO GIVE AWAY AT THE CAR SHOW.
WHO WOULDN'T WANT TO WIN THAT?
SO WE HAVE TO KEEP THE COST LOW.
HMM, THAT'S FOR SURE.
HOPEFULLY, WE DO WELL ON THE RAFFLE TICKETS.
WE'RE GONNA BUILD A TRUCK TO RAFFLE OFF AT THE CAR SHOW.
THE LESS MONEY WE SPEND ON THE TRUCK,
THE MORE PROFIT WE'LL MAKE.
NOT EVERYBODY CAN AFFORD A RAT ROD TRUCK,
SO YOU CAN ALL HAVE A CHANCE TO WIN IT.
Chad: HEY, LITTLE BROTHER. WHAT'S GOING ON?
-HELLO THERE. HOW YOU DOING? -Jolene: JOHN. HOW ARE YA?
-Chad: I BRANG YOU A PRESENT. -[ JOLENE CHUCKLES ]
-YOU DID? -I DID.
I KNOW I'VE GOT SOMETHING THAT HE WANTS.
I NEED A BODY. I HAVE SOMETHING TO START WITH...
RIGHT.
...TO MAKE SOMETHING FOR THE CAR SHOW THIS YEAR.
SO I BROUGHT THIS '36 FORD ENGINE
AS MAYBE I CAN GET SOMETHING OUT OF YOU.
MAYBE WE CAN TRADE OR SOMETHING, RIGHT?
I WILL KEEP IT IN MIND, YEAH.
CAN YOU SHOW ME AROUND, SEE WHAT YOU GOT?
SURE.
JOHN DOES ALL THE SEMINATING OF COWS.
HE PREGNATES THEM, SO HE GETS TO GO AROUND ALL THE FARMS
AND SEE WHAT, YOU KNOW,
ALL THE FARMERS HAVE AND WHAT'S AROUND.
YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT HE'S GONNA HAVE.
HEY.
LOOKIE THERE NOW, WOULD YOU? HUH?
VERY GOOD. WOW.
**
LOOK AT THAT. THERE'S A PIECE OF SOMETHING.
WOW.
WHAT'S SOMETHING LIKE THAT WORTH? BIG MONEY?
WELL, IT'S PROBABLY WORTH MORE THAN THE FLATHEAD.
PROBABLY. [ LAUGHS ]
Jolene: IF WE CAN KEEP OUR COST LOW, THEN WE CAN PROFIT MORE,
SO THAT'S THE KEY TO THIS WHOLE BUILD,
IS TRYING TO BUILD IT ON A VERY SMALL BUDGET.
WHAT'S THAT?
THAT'S A '34 CHEV
IN, UH, 500 PIECES.
[ LAUGHS ]
CAN I -- YOU MIND IF I LOOK THROUGH IT?
YOU CAN GO RIGHT AHEAD AND LOOK AT IT, CHAD, YEAH.
OKAY. RIGHT ON.
IT'S SOMETHING YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN.
John: CHAD HAS A VERY INVENTIVE MIND.
HE LOOKS AT A CAR, AND HE CAN PICTURE IT
AS HE WANTS IT TO BUILD IT.
**
Chad: I'M LOOKING AROUND
BECAUSE I HAVE TO TAKE STOCK OF WHAT HE HAS,
AND I WANT TO JUST PUT IN MY LITTLE BRAIN THAT HE HAS THAT,
AND I CAN MAYBE ASK FOR TRADE
OR WHATEVER THAT SORT OF DEAL THING IS.
**
LIKE IT. I LOVE IT.
John: THAT'S CHAD'S OWN IDEAS.
YOU KNOW, HE DIDN'T SEE IT SOMEWHERE.
THAT COMES OUT OF HIS HEAD.
WHAT DO YOU GOT HERE, JOHN?
-I GOT AN OLD... -WATCH THAT STEP, BABY.
...MODEL A FORD BODY, CHAD.
OH, YOU GOT A MODEL A BODY?
THERE'S A MODEL A BODY, YEAH.
-AH. -YEAH.
OH, IT'S UP ON ITS FRONT.
[ SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY ]
'28...'27 FORD, ISN'T IT?
YEAH, I THINK IT'S A 20...'27.
JUST WANT TO LOOK AT IT A LITTLE BIT, JOHN,
A LITTLE BIT AT THE COWL, NO COWL IN IT.
FIX THIS. OH, YEAH, THAT'S PRETTY GOOD.
FLIP HER UPSIDE DOWN AND SEE WHAT SHE'S LIKE.
IT'S NOT THAT BAD. IT'S NO BODY.
LOOKS LIKE A GOOD STARTING POINT.
IT IS A START.
I TELL YOU WHAT I WOULD DO, JOHN.
IF YOU'LL TRADE THE '34 IN THERE,
THAT '34 CHEV AND THIS '27 FORD...
IF YOU'LL TRADE IT FOR THAT FORD ENGINE, I WOULD TRADE YOU.
SURE, CAN DO IT.
-AWESOME. -Jolene: THANKS, JOHN.
COOL. YOU HAPPY WITH THAT?
-SURE. -ALL RIGHT, MAN.
OH, I THINK WE BOTH COME OUT PRETTY GOOD.
John: LOOK OUT -- LOOK OUT THE BACK WINDOW, CHAD.
YOU CAN SEE WHERE YOU'RE GOING. -[ LAUGHS ]
WHOOP, LITTLE MORE TO THE RIGHT.
Chad: USUALLY, I LET MY TEAM KNOW
WHAT WE'RE GONNA BUILD AT THE START,
BUT WE'RE GONNA BUILD FAST,
SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO BUILD THIS ONE ON THE FLY.
THIS RIGHT HERE IS THE BAD BOY RIGHT HERE.
WHAT DO YOU THINK? -IT'S PRETTY AWESOME.
PRETTY AWESOME.
I WANT TO SET IT DOWN.
WILL YOU SET IT RIGHT DOWN ON THE GROUND THERE?
JUST LIKE THAT.
IN THIS PROJECT HERE, WHEN IT COMES TO THE CAR SHOW,
I HAVE TO BUILD THE TRUCK ON ZERO BUDGET
'CAUSE THERE'S SO MANY THINGS.
I HAVE TO PAY THE BANDS.
I HAVE TO PAY THE FOOD, HAVE TO GET THIS PLACE CLEANED UP.
THERE'S JUST SO MANY THINGS.
I'VE GOT A CHASSIS OVER THERE WE CAN USE.
LET'S CARRY THIS TRUCK IN, SEE...
LET'S GET GOING WHERE WE'RE GONNA GET GOING.
YOU GOT IT, COLTON? -YEAH.
-DON'T NEED ME THEN? -PROBABLY NOT, NO.
ALL RIGHT, THEN AARON'S GOT IT.
MADE A MISTAKE WITH THE ROCKABILLY WEEKEND LAST YEAR.
I MADE THE TRUCK TOO SMALL.
ASS FIRST!
I MADE IT FOR ME.
I TOLD EVERYBODY.
SHE SAYS, "YOU CAN'T DRIVE THAT. YOU CAN'T DRIVE IT."
I SAID, "YES, I CAN."
SHE SAID, "HOW DO YOU DO THAT?" I SAID, "I SHRINK."
SHE SAID, "YOU CAN'T SHRINK," AND I SAID, "YES, I CAN."
SHE SAID, "HOW YOU DO THAT?" AND I SAID, "JUST WATCH."
HUH? I SHRINK.
PIECE OF PISS.
WHAT I WANT TO DO, ALEX, VERY QUICK...
-YEAH. -...IF YOU WILL, WANT TO...
GET ME A SEAT AND SIT IN IT?
YEAH, EXACTLY, RIGHT THERE. I WANT YOU TO SIT IN THAT.
[ THUD ]
SEE WHAT WE HAVE TO DO.
I'M GONNA MAKE THIS TRUCK FIT ALEX.
ALEX IS GONNA BE MY... TEST DUMMY.
WHAT DO WE HAVE TO DO...
-[ GROANS ] -...TO FIT A BIG MAN IN A SHOE?
WELL, FIRST, GONNA BE TO GET THE PEDALS AND STEERING WHEEL.
I WANT TO MAKE IT SO EVERYBODY CAN GET INTO IT.
ALSO, I'D PROBABLY SELL MORE TICKETS,
SO BEING SMART, BUSINESS-LIKE,
INSTEAD OF MAKING IT COOL IN MY WAY,
I'LL MAKE IT FIT SORT OF EVERYBODY.
IT NEEDS TO BE LONGER TOO, DON'T IT, ALEX?
YEAH, MY KNEES ARE CRAMPED.
THAT'D BE KIND OF HARD DRIVING, CRAMPED UP.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
'CAUSE TOO LOW, I CAN'T SEE NOTHING.
ALL RIGHT.
SO WE'RE STRETCHING IT THIS WAY?
-YEAH. -YEAH.
SIX INCHES.
NOW I GOTTA CRAWL OUT HERE.
[ SNIFFS, GROANS ] -Jolene: NO.
[ LAUGHTER ]
WE'RE GONNA MAKE A LITTLE, TINY TRUCK
THAT'LL FIT A BIG PERSON.
IT'S GONNA BE A HOT ROD.
WE'RE GONNA SELL TICKETS CHEAP. WE'RE GONNA MAKE PEOPLE HAPPY.
WE'RE GONNA LEAVE IT BARE METAL.
IT'S GONNA BE COOL, DANG IT.
AARON, YOU'RE GONNA ROCK AND ROLL WITH ALEX
A LITTLE BIT, FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GONNA GO ON THE CHASSIS.
AND THEN, ME AND YOU ARE GONNA MAKE A BOX.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO FOR IT.
SEE WHAT HAPPENS!
YOU'RE NOT READY YET.
YOU WANT TO COME UP TO THE LITTLE LINE THERE.
PULL YOUR TRIGGER. JUST GO SLOW.
GO A LITTLE FASTER. KEEP IT UP AGAINST THE RULER.
ON TO MY THIRD BUILD, READY TO LEARN A LOT.
THERE'S GONNA BE A LOT OF WELDING FOR ME AND GRINDING,
I IMAGINE. -KEEP GOING.
HOPEFULLY, I GET BETTER AT THAT,
LET'S MAKE A COOL, BARE METAL TRUCK.
Chad: KEEP IT GOING.
THAT'S WHAT MAKES ME SMILE.
STRAIGHT LINE WITH A PLASMA CUTTER
WILL MAKE ME SMILE EVERY TIME.
WE'RE MAKING A BOX FOR THE TRUCK
SO IT LOOKS LIKE THAT BOX FIT THAT TRUCK.
45 STAKE POST, SQUARE TUBING, BODY SIZE,
STAKE TUBING AND CUT TO FIT,
AND THEN WE'LL WANT A 3/4-INCH LIP BENT IN.
**
THIS IS MY SON WORKING WITH ME.
**
LET'S DO A -- YOU WANT TO HELP?
LET'S DO THIS TAILGATE THERE, COLTON.
IT'S A BARE METAL TRUCK.
YOU DON'T WANT TO MESS UP THE METAL.
WHEN YOU'RE WELDING IT, WHEN YOU'RE MAKING PIECES,
YOU DON'T WANT TO MESS UP THE METAL.
THIS IS ALL-NEW SHEET METAL.
IT COSTS MORE MONEY THAT WAY.
SO YOU THINK IF YOU PULL MY NAME OUT FOR THE TRUCK
AT THE CAR SHOW, THINK THEY'D BE MAD?
[ BOTH LAUGH ]
**
JOLENE, YOU'RE GONNA HELP US?
SO THIS IS WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO.
WE'RE GONNA TRY TO KEEP THAT BEAD ROLLER ON THAT BLUE LINE,
AND I'M GONNA DO THE WHEELING AND THE DEALING
BECAUSE... I JUST THINK I SHOULD.
HOW'S THAT?
COLTON, HE SHOWED UP HERE, A LITTLE WILD STALLION.
YOU KNOW, HAD TO BE REINED IN, YOU KNOW, PUT THE SADDLE ON IT
AND RIDE IT FOR A LITTLE WHILE AND THEN GET HIM CALMED DOWN.
SEE? AND THEN THEY CAN BECOME QUITE A HORSE.
LET ME STEER IT, COLTON.
PUT YOUR HANDS UNDERNEATH IT LIKE I ASKED.
OKAY, PERFECT. THANK YOU.
THAT WAY THERE, I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE NO CONTROL
OVER STEERING THIS THING.
A BEAD ROLLER IS A MACHINE. YOU ROLL YOUR METAL THROUGH IT.
MINE'S MANUAL, TAKES A COUPLE PEOPLE.
YOU CAN GET ONE THAT PLUGS IN THE WALL.
I HAVEN'T GOT ONE OF THOSE.
HAVEN'T REALLY GOT THE MONEY TO BUY ONE.
WE USE WHAT WE GOT.
GO AHEAD.
[ SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY ] -OH, IT'S CAUGHT.
YEAH, I KNOW IT'S CAUGHT, BUT...
**
LOOKS LIKE [BLEEP].
-HUH? -LOOKS LIKE [BLEEP].
THE [BLEEP] THING'S STAND IS MOVING ALL OVER THE PLACE.
[BLEEP].
**
YEP, TAKE IT OFF.
**
[ WHIRRING IN DISTANCE ]
WOBBLY RIGHT THERE. I DON'T LIKE THAT.
I WANT TO STRAIGHTEN IT OUT.
WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO FIX IT TO USE IT.
I'M USING BRAND-NEW SHEET METAL TO MAKE THIS TRUCK BOX.
I DON'T WANT TO WASTE THIS PIECE OF METAL.
I WANT TO FIX IT.
I'VE MADE THIS LINE. IT SEEMED A BIT WO--
IT IS A BIT WOBBLY, AND I JUST WANT TO FIX IT.
Colton: MY OLD MAN HATES SPENDING MONEY,
AND HE'LL MAKE SURE THAT HE ABSOLUTELY NEEDS IT
BEFORE HE'LL GO SPEND A BUNCH OF MONEY ON SOMETHING.
HE'D RATHER HAVE A PING-PONG TABLE THAN A TELEVISION.
HE DON'T BUY FOOD BECAUSE HE JUST [BLEEP] IT OUT.
LIKE, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? IT'S JUST, THAT'S MY DAD.
THAT'S THE WAY HE IS. -[BLEEP]!
**
THAT FIXES THAT!
DAMN IT!
JUST WASTED MY [BLEEP] TIME. [BLEEP]!
[ URINATING ]
Chad: DAMN IT!
WASTING MY TIME MAKES ME SOME UGLY
WHEN SOMETHING HAPPENS LIKE THAT.
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? YOU WERE DOING SOMETHING, LIKE,
JUST LIKE YOU WERE DOING YOUR MAKEUP,
OR YOU WERE BAKING A CAKE, AND [BLEEP] THING FELL.
YOU PULLED IT AND WANT TO THROW IT AGAINST THE [BLEEP]
WALL TOO, WOULDN'T YOU? -HAMMER FIST.
I CAN REMEMBER WATCHING MY MOTHER BAKE CAKES,
AND THEN ME AS A KID DOWN THERE,
SHOOTING THE BALL IN THE LIVING ROOM,
THE PUCK OR WHATEVER, AND I'D COME UP IN THE THING,
BE ALL HAPPY, JUMP BY THE STOVE OR SOMETHING.
THE CAKE WOULD DROP. -OOH.
YOU WANT TO LOOK OUT. -[ LAUGHS ]
THAT CAKE COME OUT OF THE OLD OVEN.
KNIVES WERE FLYING AND STABBING IT
AND THREW IT OUT THE DOOR.
I'M SERIOUS.
CAKE, PIE, ANYTHING THAT DIDN'T TURN OUT,
IT DIDN'T TURN OUT. NO ONE TOUCHED IT.
NO ONE ATE IT. IT WENT AT THE [BLEEP] DOOR.
[ LAUGHTER ]
YOU KNOW, I DO THINGS WRONG.
I CUT THINGS WRONG, BUT IN THE END,
I TAKE EVERY EXPERIENCE THAT I DO,
I LEARN FROM IT, AND THEN I CARRY ON FROM THERE.
ALL RIGHT, ME SON. LET'S DO THIS ONE MORE TIME.
WHAT I DID ON THE LAST PIECE, I KNOW WHAT WE DID WRONG.
IT WAS TOO TIGHT.
THAT'S WHAT -- YEAH, THAT'S WHY IT WAS GOING...
[ GRUNTS ] YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? YOU FELT THAT?
AND JOLENE COULDN'T ROLL IT GOOD
BECAUSE WE HAD IT DOWN TOO TIGHT.
COLTON, JUST A MINUTE, JUST A MINUTE.
THERE WE GO.
**
DON'T PUSH.
JUST HOLD YOUR HANDS UNDERNEATH THAT PIECE THERE, COLTON.
KEEP GOING. KEEP GOING.
EVERYBODY, HOLD THEIR BREATH.
**
SAME SPEED, PLEASE.
**
COME ON, MAN.
THAT'S A LOT NICER!
LOOKS A LOT NICER, DOESN'T IT? -Alex: YEAH, IT LOOKS GOOD.
-Colton: IT DOES. -HUH? NICER?
WHO DO YOU KNOW THAT'S GONNA BUILD YOU
A SCRATCH-BUILT TRUCK IN 2 WEEKS?
WE'RE JUST A BUNCH OF LOCAL MOJOS THAT CAN BUILD
A TRUCK OR A CAR ANYTIME WE WANT TO.
WE'RE GONNA GIVE IT AWAY AT THE CAR SHOW.
THAT LOOKS GOOD.
WHAT A DEAL. WHAT A DEAL.
Jolene: WE NEED A LOT OF THINGS FOR THIS TRUCK,
SO ANYTHING THAT WE CAN FIND IN OUR INVENTORY,
THE BETTER WE'RE OFF.
YOU'RE GOOD.
[ ENGINE TURNS OFF ]
IF YOU LOOK AROUND MY PROPERTY,
YOU'D SEE ALL KINDS OF STUFF AROUND.
IT'S CALLED...I DON'T KNOW.
IT'S CALLED MY LITTLE GOLD, I GUESS.
LIKE, I EVEN GOT DINER SEATS 'CAUSE YOU KNOW WHY?
'CAUSE I LIKE THAT STUFF.
IT'S JUST COOL TO HAVE -- LIKE CASH REGISTER.
I DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT I GOT A CASH REGISTER.
[ CASH REGISTER BELL DINGS ]
THAT ENGINE THERE, IT'S A FLATHEAD V-8.
WE'VE GOT A -- OH, SHE'S MADE IN "CA-NA-DA."
[ LAUGHTER ] THAT MEANS "SMALL VILLAGE."
WE BUILD THIS TRUCK, AND WE'RE HOPING THAT IT BRINGS PEOPLE
FROM EVERYWHERE TO BUY THE TICKETS ON THE TRUCK.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE HOPING.
THIS LITTLE ENGINE I PICKED UP FROM A FRIEND, ACTUALLY.
THIS BUILD WITH THE ENGINE, IT DOESN'T TAKE MONEY,
BUT IT TAKES YOUR TIME...
[ ENGINE STARTS ]
...SO YOU NEED TO FIND THAT PERSON
THAT KNOWS EXACTLY HOW TO MAKE IT WORK,
AND ALEX IS THAT PERSON.
[ ENGINE TURNS OFF ] -WE'RE ALMOST DONE.
WALK... [ SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY ] WITH IT.
Alex: THAT OLD FLATHEAD V-8, CHAD IS GONNA HAVE TO GET OUT
HIS LITTLE NOTEBOOK AND CHECK SOME NAMES
AND SEE IF HE CAN GET SOME PARTS
SO WE CAN GET THIS ON THE GROUND AND GET IT DONE.
IF WE DON'T, THE MOTOR WILL LOOK PRETTY,
BUT IT WON'T START AND MOVE, SO... [ CHUCKLES ]
CAN'T PUSH IT OUT. LIKE TO DRIVE IT OUT.
AWESOME. AIN'T GOING NOWHERE, NOT EVEN CLOSE.
**
WE CUT THE FRAME APART TO LENGTHEN IT,
BUT SEEING THE COWL, IT'S GIVING ME IDEAS.
IF I MAKE IT INTO A C CAB,
I'LL ONLY BE USING THE COWL OF THE TRUCK.
I KEEP LOOKING AT THIS THING HERE,
HOW WE GOT IT ROUND IN THE BACK, THIS BOX,
AND I'M THINKING IF I MADE A C CAB,
IF I TOOK IT AND MADE A SILL HERE
AND THEN ROLL THE BACK UP WITH A BOX,
WHICH I PLAN ON DOING ON THERE,
THERE'D BE NO DOORS, IF YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING.
I COULD MAKE IT COME UP THAT HIGH,
AND THEN MAKE IT COME UP TO A C LIKE THAT.
SO YOU WOULD HOP IN... -Colton: YES. SIR.
...THERE WOULD BE NO DOORS. -SCOOBY-DOO DRIVES ONE OF THEM
IN ONE OF THE OLD MOVIES, THE OLD C CAB.
SCOOBY-DOO!
I'M GONNA GET A PIECE OF ROUND ROD RIGHT NOW
AND GONNA FREEHAND IT.
SO WHEN CHAD HAS A VISION OF HOW HE WANTS IT DONE,
HE'S GONNA DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO GET TO THAT POINT.
BUT TIME IS MONEY, SO THE MORE TIME THAT WE SPEND,
THE MORE TIME AND MONEY IT COSTS US IN THE LONG RUN.
I GOT SOME RAMROD.
[ METAL CLATTERS ]
SIT ON THAT AND STRETCH YOUR FEET OUT.
-I'LL BE YOUR TEST-FIT DUMMY. -Chad: YEAH, TEST DUMMY, YEAH.
IT'S JUST ADDING A LOT OF EXTRA WORK THAT, YOU KNOW,
IT'LL BE FINE THE ORIGINAL WAY, BUT, YOU KNOW,
CHAD WANTS TO GO ABOVE AND BEYOND.
I'LL GO ABOVE, BEYOND MYSELF.
THAT'S GOTTA GO UP AND THEN BACK UP AGAIN.
IT'S GONNA BE COOL.
JUST HOLD IT THERE FOR A SECOND.
THAT'S COOL. YEAH, RIGHT, IT'S GONNA BE COOL.
WHO'S NOT GONNA WANT TO WIN THAT?
WHAT A BUNCH OF HOT RODDERS WE ARE.
WE'RE NOTHING BUT HOT RODDERS HERE.
THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT.
ANYBODY COULD DRIVE THAT TRUCK, ANYBODY.
THAT'S WHAT I'M GONNA DO.
I THINK WE'RE GOOD.
**
WE'RE BACK IN THE WOODS IN WINDSOR.
[ THUD ]
WE'RE JUST HERE TO DO A LITTLE BIT OF PICKING.
I NEED A CLUTCH, PRESSURE PLATE, AND A FLYWHEEL.
JUST GO SLOW AND LOOK AROUND.
DON'T SAY ANYTHING FOR A WHILE.
JUST LOOK AROUND. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
THIS IS MY FIRST PICK WITH THE OLD MAN,
MAYBE COULD LEARN A THING OR TWO TODAY.
KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF EVERYTHING.
DON'T BE TOUCHING ANYTHING. AND THEN...
-DON'T SHOW INTEREST. -OH, YEAH.
SORT OF SHOW INTEREST WHEN IT'S THE RIGHT TIME.
YEAH.
I'M THE CHAPERONE TODAY, I GUESS YOU COULD SAY.
[ BARKS ] [ HORN HONKS ]
-MORNING, LINDSEY. -HEY, CHAD.
HOW YOU DOING? -NOT BAD.
I HADN'T BEEN HERE... -BEAUTIFUL DAY.
I HADN'T BEEN HERE FOR A WHILE.
-THIS IS PACO. -HEY, PACO.
-PACO THE RESCUE DOG. -YEAH?
I'M A TYPICAL FARM BOY --
A JACK OF ALL TRADES, MASTER OF NONE --
AND I MESS AROUND WITH OLD CARS.
-I HADN'T BEEN HERE FOR A WHILE. -NOPE, YOU HAVEN'T.
YOU GOT SOME GOOD STUFF BY LOOKS OF THINGS.
WE ALLOWED JUST GO TAKE A LOOK?
OH, YEAH, YEAH. WHERE DO YOU WANT TO START?
RIGHT HERE. RIGHT THERE. I WANT TO LOOK AT THIS STUFF.
I WOULD SAY LINDSEY'S A PURIST.
HE LIKES THE OLD FEEL, THE ANTIQUE FEEL.
HE'S NOT INTO CHANGING THE MOTORS OUT
AND PUTTING BIGGER ENGINES IN THEM.
HE LIKES THE ORIGINAL FLATHEAD IN HIS CARS.
HE'S GOT A FLAT -- YOU GOT A FLATHEAD THERE.
-COOL. -COOL.
YEAH, SO THAT'S A '46 TRUCK MOTOR,
AND IT'S GOT THE OPEN DRIVE... -THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING.
...DRIVETRAIN THAT EVERYONE IS LOOKING FOR,
FOR BUILDING A HOT ROD, RIGHT? -OKAY.
GOT SOME NICE WHITE WALLS AND STUFF BACK HERE, TOO.
-ALREADY MOUNTED. -YES!
CHAD, WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR TODAY?
WHAT CAN I HELP YOU WITH?
I NEED A CLUTCH, A PRESSURE PLATE
AND A FLYWHEEL IS WHAT I NEED.
AND WHAT'S THAT FOR?
'52 MERCURY.
I THINK I CAN HELP YOU OUT.
LET ME SEE WHAT I GOT HERE. -AWESOME.
IT'S A GOOD DAY WHEN YOU GO SOMEWHERE,
AND YOU PICK SOMETHING UP THAT'S IN YOUR INTEREST.
THIS WOULD BE A GOOD START FOR YOU GUYS TO SEE
IF THIS'LL FIT, RIGHT?
WILL THAT GET US ROLLING?
YEAH. WE JUST NEED A FLYWHEEL.
OH, YEAH, OKAY, GOT ONE OF THOSE, TOO.
-[ LAUGHS ] -HA HA.
-THIS IS A WELL-SEASONED... -THEY'RE GONNA LIKE THAT.
...ONE, WHICH PROBABLY SHOULD BE GOOD, RIGHT?
SAND IT OFF, BE FINE.
SAND IT OFF, HAVE HER TURNED, LIGHTENED.
YOU TAKE THE CLUTCH STUFF,
AND WE'LL FIGURE IT OUT LATER, RIGHT?
OKAY. THAT'LL MAKE IT WORK, WILL IT?
YEAH.
CAN'T ASK ANY MORE THAN THAT, CAN YA?
LINDSEY'S A1, LETS YOU LOOK THROUGH HIS STUFF, HELP YOU OUT,
AND I WOULD DO THE SAME FOR HIM. THAT'S HOW IT ROLLS.
YOU DO THE SAME FOR OTHER PEOPLE THEY DO FOR YOU.
CHASSIS, DRUM BRAKES.
Lindsey: YOU'LL GET A KICK OUT OF THIS ONE, COLT.
THIS IS RIGHT UP YOUR ALLEY.
THIS IS JUST WHAT YOU NEED.
Chad: THIS BAD BOY HERE.
LOOK AT THAT NOW. -LOOK AT THAT, TOURING BIKE.
-WOW! -A '74 360 HONDA.
-'74 360 HONDA. -YEAH.
-DOES IT WORK? -YEAH, WORKS LIKE A TOP.
SELL IT? WANT TO SELL IT? YOU WANT TO SELL IT?
Colton: I'LL BUY ONE OF THE LITTLE BIKES, FOR SURE.
**
I WAS ASKING, LIKE, AROUND 500.
DO YOU WANT TO GO AND THINK ABOUT IT?
-HMM. -LET'S GO AND THINK ABOUT IT.
-MM-HMM. -YEAH, IT'S NOT GOING ANYWHERE.
-LET'S GO AND THINK ABOUT IT. -ALL RIGHT.
LET'S GO HOME AND THINK ABOUT IT.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, LINDSEY.
WE GOTTA GO BACK AND PUT THAT ENGINE TOGETHER.
YEAH, IT WAS GOOD SEEING ALL YOUR STUFF.
**
Colton: DAD WASN'T HERE,
I PROBABLY WOULD'VE JUST BOUGHT IT,
BUT I GUESS THAT'S THE OLD MAN GUIDANCE,
SO PROBABLY BEST I HELD OFF.
-Chad: ALL RIGHT. -COOL.
THAT'S IT. THAT WAS THE 10 CENT TOUR, CHAD.
THANKS VERY MUCH!
Chad: I DON'T WANT HIM TO SPEND $500
WHEN HE CAN ONLY GET $500 OUT OF THE MOTORBIKE.
I WANT HIM TO BUY SOMETHING THAT HE CAN MAKE A LITTLE MONEY ON,
GET HIS BRAIN WORKING.
**
GO FOR IT.
WELL, I DIDN'T HEAR A "YES."
WE'RE NOT GONNA WARP THAT ROOF ONE BIT.
HE BETTER NOT.
HOLD UP NOW. "HOLD UP," I SAID.
**
Chad: ROCKABILLY WEEKEND, FOR ME, IS A BIG DEAL.
EVERYBODY'S GROOVIN', EVERYBODY'S MOVIN'.
WE HAVE TO CLEAN UP THE YARD.
WE HAVE TO MOW THIS PLACE AND PRIMP IT.
WE HAVE TO WHIPPER-SNIP IT.
**
I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO SAY AFTER THAT.
**
IT'S GONNA BE ONE HELL OF A WEEKEND.
ALL RIGHT.
WE'RE GONNA CUT THIS THING AND PUT THE ROOF ON IT.
Aaron: THIS MORNING, CHAD WAS LIKE, "ALL RIGHT.
"CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW, NOW WE'RE GONNA BUILD
A C-STYLE BODY ON THIS THING," AND I'M LIKE, "ALL RIGHT."
Colton: ARE WE GOING WITH IT THIS WAY?
WE'RE GONNA FLOP IT UP OVER. BRING IT UP OVER.
Aaron: IN TERMS OF... [ SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY ]
CUT DOWN ON A BUILD LIKE THIS, WE'VE GONE THROUGH
TWO OR THREE DIFFERENT POSSIBILITIES.
IF ANYBODY CAN MANUFACTURE, IT'S GONNA BE YOU.
Chad: KEEP GOING FORWARD. KEEP GOING FORWARD.
RIGHT ON THE RAMROD.
DON'T -- I DON'T WANT YOU TO BEND THE METAL.
-AM I GOOD THERE YET? -LITTLE BIT.
THAT'S REAL GOOD.
YEAH, SO WE'LL JUST GO WITH THAT.
WHO'S YOUR DADDY? CHAD IS.
WHEN YOU LAY THE ROOF DOWN OVER,
THEN YOU PUT THAT METAL ON THERE,
AND YOU STRETCH THAT DOWN OVER THERE AND TACK IT ON
AND ROLL IT BACK UP AGAIN,
THEN YOU START TO SEE IT'S GOT A ROOF.
[ SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY ] THERE.
YEAH.
THINK EVERYBODY IS SAYING A PRAYER WHEN COLTON WELD SPOTS.
EVERYONE PUTS THEIR HEAD DOWN. -[ ALEX LAUGHS ]
Alex: I THOUGHT WE WERE PRAYING TO SEE IF IT STICKS OR NOT.
CAN WE FOLD THIS UP SOMEHOW?
HERE, COLTON. -YEAH!
WE'LL GO TO THE OTHER SIDE AND DO THAT SIDE.
-RIGHT THERE...THERE. -THAT GOOD?
YEP. GOT IT.
COME TO THE OTHER SIDE OF ME, COLTON.
OUCH. [BLEEP] GET ME... [ SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY ]
[BLEEP]. THAT LOOK STILL GOOD TO YOU?
-STILL GOOD. YEAH. -GO FOR IT.
I DIDN'T HEAR A "YES," BUT I HEARD THE WELDER.
-STILL GOOD, STILL GOOD. -Chad: NO ONE SAID ANYTHING.
I DIDN'T HEAR A "YES," BUT I HEARD THE WELDER.
WE'RE NOT GONNA WARP THAT ROOF ONE BIT,
OR HE BETTER NOT. [ CHUCKLES ]
JUST A MINUTE NOW. HOLD UP NOW. IT'S A ROOF.
REMEMBER ALL THAT STUFF WHERE HEAT GOES UP AND ALL THAT STUFF?
"HOLD UP," I SAID.
DIDN'T WE SAY, "HOLD UP"?
I SWEAR I DID. I KNOW I DID.
ANY MORE THAN FOUR TACKS, YOU'RE GETTING TOO MUCH HEAT
AND YOU'RE GONNA WARP IT.
AFTER FOUR TACKS, YOU PUT THE AIR HOSE RATE ON IT.
YOU BLOW IT OFF, AND IT'S COOL IN AN INSTANT.
[ AIR BLOWING ]
YOU DON'T WANT TO WARP THE ROOF UP, MAN.
THAT'D BE BAD.
[ COUGHS ]
ALL RIGHT.
Aaron: THAT THING IS COOL AS HELL.
EVERYBODY'S CHIPPING IN. THE ROOF IS COMING TOGETHER.
WE'RE REALLY SEEING THE ESSENCE OF THE SHAPE OF THE TRUCK.
Chad: LOOK AT THAT!
**
WATCH YOUR HANDS, AARON.
AWESOME. GOOD JOB.
GONNA BE A MARATHON FROM HERE ON IN,
BUT I KNOW WE'LL ARRIVE AT THE FINISHED PRODUCT
RIGHT ON TIME.
THE OLD CHAD HILTZ BUILD.
**
THIS HAS TURNED INTO A FULL CUSTOM.
THAT'S THE STORY.
WE'RE BUILDING EVERYTHING FROM NOTHING RIGHT NOW.
I'LL USE JUST ABOUT ANYTHING WHEN IT COMES TO A ZERO BUDGET
LONG AS IT LOOKS THE WAY I WANT IT TO LOOK.
AND YOU DON'T KNOW UNTIL YOU SEE IT.
**
[ MUTTERS ]
WE'RE AT LAURIE LAYTON'S.
LAURIE TAKES IN METAL AND SCRAP AND ALL THAT STUFF.
SEE IF I CAN'T FIND SOMETHING
TO MAKE MY TRUCK A LITTLE MORE INTERESTING TO GIVE AWAY.
[ CROW CAWING ]
AIN'T GONNA GET THE [BLEEP] HERE.
ROLL DOWN A LITTLE FURTHER, SEE WHAT'S GOING ON.
SEE, SOMETHING LIKE THAT RIGHT THERE.
THAT'S GONNA BIG, EH.
BIG AND HEAVY.
[ HOLLOW THUD ]
I'VE NEVER BEEN DOWN IN HERE, NEVER BEEN DOWN.
JUST TAKE A LOOK AROUND, MAN.
YOU CAN'T FIND NOTHING IF YOU DON'T TAKE A LOOK.
YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY, GOTTA LOOK AROUND.
**
GOTTA LOOK AROUND.
THESE BALLS ARE BIGGER THAN MY BALLS.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'D BE FOR, BUT THERE THEY ARE.
THE BUSHES ARE ALL GROWN UP, EH?
**
WHY I HAD TO KICK THAT, I HAVE NO IDEA.
I'M JUST NOT SEEING ANYTHING.
**
THAT'S NOT LONG ENOUGH.
IT'S ONLY 3 FEET, 2 FEET.
THESE BARRELS ARE COOL, BUT I DON'T KNOW.
IT'S TOO LONG. I'D HAVE TO CUT THAT.
**
I DO LIKE THE RIBBING ON THAT.
SEE, IF I CUT THAT IN HALF,
I'M THINKING THAT'LL GIVE US... HOW MANY FEET IS THAT?
AH.
I CUT THAT DOWN THE MIDDLE,
WELD THAT PIECE ON THAT.
THIS TRUCK HAS TO BE SICK.
WE'RE GONNA GIVE THIS AWAY AT THE ROCKABILLY WEEKEND.
WE WANT PEOPLE TO LIKE IT.
WE WANT PEOPLE TO BUY TICKETS ON IT.
IT HAS TO BE DIFFERENT.
I THINK THEM WILL WORK.
I THINK IT'S GONNA ROCK. I WANT TO GET BACK TO THE SHOP
AND GO TO WORK, IF YOU DON'T MIND.
**
45-GALLON BARRELS HERE! I GOT 'EM!
[ CLANGING ]
I'M GLAD THEY'RE EMPTY, NOT FULL.
-Colton: AS FAR AS I KNOW. [ CLANGING ]
THESE ARE OLD FISH OIL BARRELS.
THIS IS HOW THIS IS GONNA HAPPEN.
AND WHEN WE CUT THEM OPEN, WE DON'T WANT THE SMELL.
I GET THE GRAND PRIZE OF CLEANING THE FISH OIL OUT.
-Alex: OH, DO YOU? -Colton: YEAH.
LUCKY YOU. I'M GLAD IT'S YOU, NOT ME.
THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID.
I'LL DO WHATEVER HAS TO GET DONE AND MAKE SURE IT'S DONE.
[ SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY ] GOTTA START SOMEWHERE.
FILL THAT UP A LITTLE BIT AND JAM A RAG IN IT
AND KICK IT AROUND THE YARD FOR A SECOND AND DUMP IT OUT.
[ WATER SLOSHING ]
IT'S NOT THAT BAD.
IT'S GOTTA BE DONE.
[ RETCHES, COUGHS ]
[ COUGHS ] THAT'S AWFUL. [ LAUGHS ]
[ SIGHS ]
MIGHT HAVE TO BE TWO ROUNDS OF THIS.
[ WATER SLOSHING ]
[ RETCHES, COUGHS ]
THAT ONE THERE'S GOT ALL KINDS OF GOODNESS IN IT.
**
LOOK AT THAT, WOULD YA?
[ SLURPS ]
THAT WORKED PERFECT.
WE'RE GONNA CUT THESE MOFOS.
LET'S GO.
REMEMBER THAT TIME I TOOK YOU DOWN BY THE JAIL?
YOU PULLED OUT TWO TROUT. REMEMBER THAT?
-I THINK SO MAYBE. -YEAH?
I TOOK YOU DOWN BY THE JAIL IN THE OLD BROOK THERE,
AND I HAD YOU GET A STACK AND GIVE YOU SOME ROPE.
AND NEXT THING YOU KNOW, YOU WERE PULLING OUT TROUT.
I SAID, "WELL, LOOK AT THAT, WOULD YA?"
PULLING OUT TROUT.
YES, YOU WAS, SWEAR TO GOD.
HE WAS A CUTE LITTLE BUGGER.
HE HAD QUITE A PUMPKIN HEAD ON HIM.
HE HAD QUITE A BIG HEAD ON HIM. HE HAD A SET OF GLASSES.
A LITTLE BIT CROSS-EYED HE WAS, AS A YOUNG FELLER.
DON'T HOLD YOUR FACE OVERTOP OF THE GRINDER, PLEASE.
HOLD IT TO THE SIDE A LITTLE BIT, OKAY?
-YEAH. -OKAY? JUST...YEAH.
JUST KEEP ON... THAT'S ALL FINE.
JUST KEEP -- TRY TO KEEP IT ON THE SIDE LINE.
JUST GO SLOW AND TRY TO KEEP IT ON THAT LINE.
YOU CAN STRAIGHTEN IT OUT AS YOU GO.
[ WHIRRING ]
I'VE NEVER HAD NO INPUT ON HIS ACTUAL GROWING.
I HAVE IT NOW, AND HE'S GOING TO TURN INTO QUITE A MAN.
**
OKAY. READY?
SMELLS LIKE A FISH TRUCK, DON'T IT?
-GOT IT? -YEAH.
**
PERFECT.
IT'S GONNA LOOK SICK AS [BLEEP].
IT IS.
I'D BUY IT OFF YOU.
[ LAUGHS ]
**
Chad: SENDING COLTON OUT ON HIS OWN
TO GET A REAR AXLE FOR THIS CAR.
Colton: I FORGOT TO TELL YOU, THE OLD BOY HAS NEVER...
YOU HAVEN'T?
I NEVER TOOK A REAR OUT BEFORE IN MY LIFE.
OH, MY GOD.
-I'M A GOOD CUTTER, THOUGH. -WELL...
I'M A REAL GOOD CUTTER.
YOU'RE GONNA LEARN RIGHT HERE, BUB.
Colton: DAD SENT ME OUT FOR A REAR END.
I'VE NEVER PULLED A REAR END, SO I'M THINKING LIKE,
"I CAN'T DO THIS."
FOR ROCKABILLY WEEKEND, WE'RE BUILDING A TRUCK
ON NOT A LOT OF MONEY, SO WE'LL GET PARTS WHEREVER WE CAN.
I'M GONNA NEED SOME ASSISTANCE,
POSSIBLY, HERE AND THERE.
WE'LL MANHANDLE HER OUT. WE'LL PULL IT OUT...
-LIKE MEN. -...WITH OUR HANDS.
-LIKE RAW MEN. -YEAH.
JUSTIN'S FATHER BROUGHT JUSTIN, AND DAD BOUGHT ME,
AND THAT'S WHERE IT WENT.
WE ALWAYS GREW UP TOGETHER, RIGHT, AND ALWAYS HAD DIRT BIKES
AND STUFF UP HERE, DRIVING AROUND.
WE ALWAYS LIKED DOING THE SAME THINGS, BUT ALSO, WE DIDN'T.
JUSTIN IS A COUNTRY BOY, AND I LIKE NICE CLOTHES AND STUFF.
ME AND JUSTIN HAD A GREAT CHILDHOOD FOR THE TIME
I WAS UP HERE, BUT I WASN'T UP HERE
MUCH EITHER, BUT THAT KIND OF SUCKS.
BUT JUSTIN'S ALWAYS BEEN A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE.
HOW HAVE THINGS BEEN GOING WITH YOUR OLD MAN?
MY DAD IS A DIFFERENT STYLE THAN MOST, SO...
-[ CHUCKLES ] -...GONNA TRY TO, YOU KNOW,
LEARN SOMETHING FROM HIM.
YOU GROW A REAL...
WAY BETTER BOND BEING WITH SOMEBODY EVERY DAY
THAN, RIGHT, THAN EVERY DAY THAN JUST COMING UP IN THE SUMMER.
LIKE... -YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.
[ SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING ]
**
DIDN'T KNOW YOUR OLD MAN HAD THIS YARD, JUST.
YES, SIR. WHERE'S THIS BAD BOY LURKING AT?
RIGHT OVER HERE, BUB. YOU CUTTING OR ME?
YOU CAN DO THE FIRST ONE TO SHOW ME HOW TO USE THIS BAD BOY.
THEN I'LL TRY. HOW'S THAT?
GOOD.
YOU'RE A BAD MAN, JUSTIN ALLEN.
LITTLE AGGRESSIVE, AIN'T IT?
OH, WE GOT A FIRE.
I DON'T LIKE THAT, JUST.
LIKE...
WE GOT GAS-FILLED SHOCKS, AND THEY'RE ON FIRE.
I REALLY DON'T FEEL SAFE AROUND IT, SO...
[ BLOWING AIR ]
Colton: IF I CAME HOME EMPTY-HANDED,
DAD WOULDN'T LIKE THAT, NOT AT ALL. NOT -- NOT...
DON'T SAY YOU CAN DO SOMETHING WHEN YOU CAN'T. [ CHUCKLES ]
YOU STILL LIGHTING GRASS FIRES?
YEAH!
YOU HAD TWO EARS BEFORE WE STARTED THIS, RIGHT?
[ CLANKING ]
Justin: WATCH YOURSELF.
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE -- NO, KEEP PRESSING.
NOW GET ON THE INSIDE ONE.
STAY RIGHT ON ONE STOP.
COME BACK A LITTLE BIT, RIGHT THERE.
[ THUNK ] THERE'S ONE.
**
THERE SHE COMES. -CUTTING?
YEAH, THAT ONE'S CUT.
IT'S GONNA DROP!
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.
OKAY, YOU GRAB ONE SIDE. I'LL GRAB THE OTHER.
YEAH. MY 'S GONNA BE VERY PLEASED
THAT HE SENT ME OUT WITH A FRIEND TO DO SOMETHING,
AND IT GOT DONE.
**
Chad: LIKE THEM HEADLIGHTS?
Jolene: YEAH.
THEY SUIT THE TRUCK WITH THE BARREL ON THE BACK.
DON'T YOU THINK, ALEX?
I LIKE 'EM, BUT I WOULDN'T PUT 'EM ON IT. [ LAUGHS ]
[ WHIRRING ]
**
I'LL TAKE STUFF RIGHT OFF THE WALL, MAKE IT WORK.
LET'S TILT IT BACK SO I CAN LOOK AT IT.
STAY.
**
BOLT IT RIGHT ON THE FRAME.
NO, BECAUSE THE WHEEL HAS GOTTA TURN.
IT'S GONNA HIT THE WHEEL.
THEY HAVE TO BE UP AND IN A LITTLE MORE.
PUT A BRACKET ON HERE,
BRING IT UP, AND THEN BOLT THE HEADLIGHT RIGHT THERE.
AND THEN WHEN THE WHEEL TURNS,
THE HEADLIGHT TURNS, TURNS WITH THE WHEEL.
**
I WANT TO DO THAT NOW.
[ LAUGHS ]
I DON'T SEE ROADBLOCKS.
I SEE OPPORTUNITIES
TO CHANGE AND MAKE SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
HOW CAN I SOLVE THIS PROBLEM TO MAKE THIS TRUCK LOOK COOLER?
THAT'S AN OPPORTUNITY.
WELL, THEY'VE DECIDED TO, UH...
MAKE THE HEADLIGHTS TURN WITH THE CAR,
SO I'M MAKING AARON A COUPLE BRACKETS HERE
TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.
TAKE THE WHEEL OFF AND WELD IT.
-YEAH. OKAY. -WE GOT BOLTED ON THERE AND...
AND IT'S DONE. I GOTTA JACK IT UP.
Chad: I AM YOUR FATHER.
YEAH.
HUH? I AM YOUR FATHER.
-OH, THIS SIDE'S JACKED [BLEEP]. -TELL ME THE...
IF I JACK THAT, TELL ME THE TRUTH.
THAT BOY NEVER SEEN THE LIGHT. [ LAUGHS ]
THEY'RE GONNA LOVE THIS THING, I'M TELLING YOU.
SEE THE HEADLIGHT. HUH? SEE THE HEADLIGHTS TURN?
SLICKETY DICK, EH?
-SLICKETY DICK. -THEY CALL THAT TRICKY RICKY.
NOBODY AROUND HERE GOT A TRUCK LIKE THIS MADE OUT OF METAL.
THEY MAY HAVE SOMETHING MADE OUT OF WOOD OR...YOU KNOW?
BUT THIS IS MADE OUT OF METAL.
I'M VERY PROUD OF IT.
IT'S GONNA BE A LITTLE STANDARD SHIFT, LITTLE V-8,
SOMETHING SOMEBODY COULD'VE MADE BACK IN THE DAY.
I'M HAPPY WITH TODAY.
WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO GET IT POLISHED UP
AND GOTTA GET READY FOR TOMORROW, AND THAT'S ABOUT IT.
LET'S CLEAN HER UP A LITTLE BIT MORE AND ROCK AND ROLL. HUH?
[ THUNDER RUMBLING ]
**
Chad: I HOPE WHOEVER WINS IT IS VERY HAPPY WITH IT.
I HOPE THAT THEY APPRECIATE IT.
I HOPE THEY LOOK AT THE AMOUNT OF WORK THAT WE PUT INTO IT.
I THINK TOMORROW IS GOING TO BE A BIG DAY.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT FOR TOMORROW, ACTUALLY.
HOPE THE WEATHER IS GOOD.
[ THUNDER RUMBLING ]
Jolene: IT WOULD BE COMPLETELY DISAPPOINTING FOR IT TO RAIN.
PUT A LOT OF WORK INTO THE TRUCK.
THERE'S NO DOLLAR AMOUNT ON IT THAT WE'RE GUARANTEED.
IT DEPENDS ON THE TICKET SALES SO, UGH, GIVES ME, LIKE,
ANXIETY THINKING ABOUT IT.
IT RAINS, I'LL PUNCH IT IN THE FACE. [ LAUGHS ]
[ THUNDER RUMBLING ]
**
Chad: THE GREEN GOBLIN --
THAT WAS TWO CARS THAT I HAD IN THE DOORYARD
THAT WERE JUNK THAT WERE GIVEN TO ME.
I DIDN'T WANT TO LET THEM GO TO WASTE.
I LIKED THE ROOF ON ONE CAR,
AND I LIKED THE BODY ON THE OTHER,
AND I SAID, "WHAT THE HECK. WHY DON'T I TAKE THAT ROOF
AND PUT IT ON THE FRONT OF THE CAR,
PUT THE ENGINE IN THE BACK?"
AND AS I WAS BUILDING THAT CAR, I WAS KIND OF WONDERING
WHY I WOULD SPEND ALL THIS MONEY ON THIS.
I LIKE THE ART OF THE CAR.
IF I WANTED SOMEBODY ELSE'S CAR,
I'D HAVE BOUGHT IT, BUT, NO, I WANT TO MAKE MY OWN CAR.
[ ENGINE ROARING ]
[ THUNDER RUMBLING ]
[ CHAD SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY ]
WHAT DO YOU THINK TODAY? HUH?
I DON'T KNOW. IT'S LOOKING GRAY.
WE SHOULD CHECK THE WEATHER.
THE MORNING OF ROCKABILLY WEEKEND IS A BUNCH OF ANXIETY.
THERE'S A BUNCH OF EMOTIONS THAT GO THROUGH YOUR BRAIN.
ANY CARS GONNA SHOW UP? IS IT GONNA RAIN?
[ THUNDER RUMBLING ]
PEOPLE AIN'T GONNA COME AND STAND IN MY FIELD
AND GET SOAKED JUST BECAUSE IT'S A CAR SHOW.
NO, I MEAN, I WILL LOSE MONEY.
BUT, UH, I JUST HOPE FOR THE BEST.
WE HAVE CARS ROLLING IN?
OH, LOOK, WE GOT PEOPLE OUTSIDE.
THERE'S MA THERE. I'M TELLING YOU.
THE SUCCESS OF OUR SHOW IS WEATHER-DEPENDENT,
SO THE SUN CAME OUT, AND SO DID THE PEOPLE.
IT'S A MIRACLE. [ LAUGHS ]
**
Chad: SUN'S OUT, GUNS OUT, YOU KNOW?
CARS ARE OUT. EVERYTHING'S GOING GOOD.
THIS PLACE IS ALMOST DAMN NEAR JAM-PACKED FULL.
**
I LIKE THAT BLOOD-PUMPING STUFF. I LIKE THAT.
YOU KNOW, I LIKE THAT BLOOD-PUMPING STUFF,
AND THE MUSIC WE GET HERE GETS YOUR BLOOD PUMPING, BELIEVE ME.
**
[ Amplified voice ] HOW YOU DOING? CAN YOU HEAR ME?
I WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY FOR COMING.
THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE. WOW.
[ CHEERING ]
OKAY, SO THIS IS WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO.
THE GUYS ARE GONNA GO AHEAD AND GET THE TRUCK
AND GONNA GET IT REVVED UP.
WE'RE GONNA GET IT READY TO DRIVE OUT THE DOOR.
I'M HOPING EVERYBODY LOVES THE BARE METAL TRUCK.
THAT FLATHEAD V-8 ALONE TO ME WOULD BE SOMETHING NICE TO WIN
LET ALONE PUT INTO A FRAME.
I THINK IT'S GONNA BE AWESOME.
ALL RIGHT, BOYS! START YOUR ENGINES! BURN!
[ ENGINE STARTING ]
[ ENGINE REVS ]
**
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
**
OH, CHAD'S WORK IS EXCELLENT. HE'S VERY CREATIVE.
AMAZES ME HOW CHAD CAN PUT THINGS TOGETHER
JUST BY IMAGINING.
**
WHO WOULDN'T WANT TO DRIVE AROUND IN THAT?
YEAH, I'LL PROBABLY BUY SOME RAFFLE TICKETS.
-OH, MY GOD. -FOR SURE.
OLD TRUCK INSIDE, FLATHEAD V-8, LOOKS GOOD, BOUGHT A TICKET.
[ LAUGHS ]
Jolene: HEY! HOW ARE YA?
Chad: TRUCK TICKETS ARE BEING SOLD.
JOLENE IS BUSY AT THE TABLE.
I NOTICED THAT IF YOU HAVE A PRETTY GIRL AT THE TABLE,
TICKETS SELL FASTER.
WHEN MY SON IS THERE, HE DIDN'T SELL MANY TICKETS.
HEY. HOW ARE YOU?
-TWO FOR 40. -AWESOME.
Jolene: SO THIS YEAR, WE SOLD TICKETS
FOR $25 FOR ONE, OR TWO FOR 40.
WE SPENT JUST OVER $1,000 ON MATERIALS,
AND WITH THE OTHER COSTS OF HOSTING THE EVENT,
WE WOULD NEED TO SELL ABOUT 100 TICKETS TO BREAK EVEN.
ANYTHING ABOVE 100 TICKETS, IT'S PROFIT.
GOOD LUCK TOUCH.
YEAH, WE HAD ONE GUY PURCHASE $500 WORTH OF TICKETS,
SO THAT WAS AWESOME.
LIKE, HIS ODDS ARE QUITE HIGH.
THANKS, MAN. APPRECIATE IT.
SHE MADE A GOOD DEAL, BUT SHE'S TOUGH.
OH, SHE'S TOUGH. OH, I KNOW.
ALONG WITH BEING SEXY, SHE'S TOUGH.
-TOUGH. -SHE'S TOUGH AND SEXY.
-YES. -AWESOME.
YEAH, IT'S TIME TO RAFFLE OFF THE TRUCK.
WE'VE SOLD QUITE A FEW TICKETS.
I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE TOTAL COUNT IS.
IT'LL BE COOL TO FIGURE THAT OUT,
BUT WE'RE GETTING READY TO PULL THE LUCKY NUMBER.
HERE WE GO. WE'RE GONNA DRAW THIS THING.
YOU'RE GONNA BE AN OWNER TODAY.
MIKE AND DENNIS LaRUE.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
**
AWESOME!
**
WHAT'S THERE NOT TO LIKE ABOUT THAT CAR WE JUST WON?
I DON'T KNOW HOW WE'RE THAT LUCKY.
I DON'T KNOW, BUT WE ARE.
YEAH. WE'RE WINNERS.
LET'S SEE IF HE FITS! OOH!
I MADE HER ONE FITS ALL.
**
Man: IT FITS!
-Chad: RIGHT ON! [ CHEERING ]
-CAN'T BELIEVE IT. -CONGRATULATIONS.
HAPPY TO SEE HERE AGAIN THIS YEAR!
Man: YEAH.
APPRECIATE ALL YOUR SUPPORT EVERY YEAR.
YOU COME EVERY YEAR. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
AS YEARS GO ON AND THE MORE YEARS I HAVE THIS CAR SHOW,
I'M GETTING MORE RESPECT FROM THE TOWN.
EVERYBODY'S NICE HERE,
AND JUST THE TOWN'S SUPPORT COMING IN THE DOOR,
THERE'S A LOT MORE PEOPLE THAN THERE IS CARS,
AND THE PEOPLE ARE COMING FOR THE CAMARADERIE,
TO SEE THE CARS, THE MUSIC.
IT'S A GOOD THING WHEN YOU CAN GET THAT MANY PEOPLE TOGETHER,
AND EVERYBODY IS SMILING. -Man: HOW YOU DOING?
HEY, BUDDY. WHAT'S GOING ON?
NICE CAR. THANKS FOR COMING.
I GET A LOT OF CARS FROM HIM.
I SEE A LOT OF FAMILIAR FACES.
THERE'S PEOPLE IN THE CAR WORLD I'VE KNOWN FOR...
HOW MUCH IS FOR THAT?
...SINCE I'VE STARTED 15, 16 YEARS OLD.
I'LL SEE YOU AFTER A BIT! SEE YOU!
WE ENDED UP SELLING JUST OVER 300 TICKETS,
SO, YEAH, IT'S AWESOME.
WE HOSTED ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL SHOW.
[ TIRES PEAL ENGINE REVS ]
IT'S KIND OF A WAY GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY
AND THE CAR COMMUNITY THAT COMES TO SUPPORT US, YOU KNOW?
**
MAKES IT ALL WORTH IT, ALL THE TIME AND ALL THE SWEAT
AND BLOOD AND TEARS AND...
IF YOU'RE NOT DOING SOMETHING GOOD, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
VERY TRUE.
THAT'S A GOOD WAY TO LOOK AT IT, I GUESS.
-YEAH. -DID YOU LIKE THAT, GUYS?
-Man: THAT WAS GOOD. [ CHEERING ]
THAT'S HOW IT GOES EVERY DAY.
HOW MANY PEOPLE MAKE A RACE CAR OUT OF STATION WAGON?
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
THIS IS GONNA BE A TRIP DOWN THE RACETRACK.
-IT'S GOTTA BE LOUD. [ ENGINE STARTS, ROARS ]
GOTTA BE DIFFERENT.
WE ONLY WANT A LITTLE BUBBLE. I DON'T WANT A GREAT BIG BUBBLE.
THAT'S KIND OF AN ALARMING ELEMENT TO IT.
-IT'S ON. -IT GOES.
GUYS ALL LIKE IT? -Boys: YEAH!
