YOU'RE GOING TO LIKE THIS ONE.
WE'RE BUILDING A STRAIGHT-AXLE GASSER FOR GUY MEISTER.
GUY'S ALL ABOUT ADRENALINE.
HE'S A REAL HUSTLER, AND HE EVEN GIVES RIDES IN A MONSTER TRUCK.
THE KIDS, THEY HORDE AROUND THIS THING, RIGHT?
OKAY.
IF I COULD EXPAND A LITTLE BIT AND HAVE A CAR,
PEOPLE ARE GOING TO WANT TO BUY TICKETS
PROBABLY JUST EVEN TO SIT IN IT, BUT IT'S GOT TO BE DIFFERENT.
SO I'M GOING TO CUT THE ROOF OFF THIS ONE.
WE'RE GOING TO GIVE IT WINGS.
I WANT TO BLOW A BUBBLE FOR THIS THING.
OH, WOW.
WE'RE TRYING TO ATTRACT CLIENTS WHO ARE INTO THE RADICAL,
AND IT'S NOT OFTEN THAT CHAD HAS FREE RANGE
TO SHOW OFF HIS IMAGINATION.
SO THAT BUBBLE'S GOT TO BE A FOOT IN THE AIR, EASY.
-HIT HER. [ ENGINE STARTS ]
IT HAD A 302 HIGH OUTPUT ENGINE.
Colton: I REALLY DON'T KNOW TOO MUCH, BUT A 302 MOTOR
WITH A SUPERCHARGER ON IT IS A MEAN MACHINE.
Chad: THE TIME FOR THE BUILD IS AGGRESSIVE.
IT'S 30 DAYS. I'VE NEVER BLOWN A BUBBLE THIS BIG.
IF WE BLOW IT UP TOO MUCH, IS IT GOING TO POP
AND, LIKE, STICK TO OUR SKIN?
-HERE WE GO. -ALL RIGHT.
Jolene: IT'S NOT CHEAP. WE GOT TO GET IT RIGHT.
YOU GOT IT HOOKED UP FINE, AARON?
IT'S ON.

THIS MUST BE YOUR OVEN. IS IT?
IT IS. YEP. WE'RE HERE AT TIMBERTECH.
WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO BLOW THE BUBBLE HERE
IN THE OVEN THAT THEY HAVE.
I'M EXCITED TO BLOW A BUBBLE.
Jolene: WE'RE A SMALL SHOP, AND THIS IS KIND OF
A BIG PROJECT TO TAKE ON.
WE NEED SOME TAPE.
THIS IS A PRACTICE BUBBLE,
AND I MADE IT THE FIRST TIME I BLEW A BUBBLE.
I TOOK A LITTLE PIECE OF PLYWOOD, HOLE IN IT,
PIECE OF PLYWOOD WITH A SHAPE CUT OUT OF IT.
I PUT PIECES OF PLEXIGLAS
IN BETWEEN THE TWO PIECES OF PLYWOOD,
SANDWICHED IT WITH VISE-GRIPS.
I PUT IT IN MY KITCHEN OVEN,
ACTUALLY IN THE HOUSE, FOR A TEST PILOT.
375 FOR A HALF HOUR, I PULLED IT OUT.
I HAD THE LITTLE AIR PIG WITH ME.
I PLUGGED IT WITH LIKE THAT AND TURNED THE AIR PIG ON,
AND THAT'S THE BUBBLE I MADE.
COOL, EH? STILL GOT IT.
I'M TRYING TO KEEP IT SECURE FOR WHEN THE AIR BLOWS.
THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS TOO MANY CLAMPS.
LET'S DO IT.
**
Jolene: BRING IT BACK. YEP.
COOL.
IT'S ALL GOOD?
I THINK TOP OF ME EAR GOT FROSTBIT!
-SET HER UP FOR 25 MINUTES. -YOU SURE?
-HALF, YOU WANT TO DO A HALF? -HALF AN HOUR?
-HALF HOUR. -OKAY.
JUST DON'T WANT TO BURN YOUR COOKIES.
YOU GOT ME ALL PARANOID ABOUT THE TIME NOW.
WE GOT AIR IN -- DO WE HAVE AIR IN THIS LINE RIGHT NOW?
Jolene: YEAH. DO WE HAVE THE AIR ON?
**
-BOOM! -[ JOLENE LAUGHS ]
SO YOU DID 30 MINUTES LAST TIME?
30 MINUTES, I THINK. 30 MINUTES, I THINK.
HOW MUCH WAS THE SHEET? HOW MUCH WAS THE SHEET?
-368. -A SHEET? 368 A SHEET?
HOW MANY MINUTES LEFT?
-YOU GOT 4 1/2, 4 MINUTES. -OKAY, 4 TO GO?
-WE'LL DO THE 4 MINUTES. -OKAY.
WE'LL DO THE 4 MINUTES JUST TO MAKE SURE.
-YEAH. -I NEED A NERVOUS PEE.
Jolene: OH, NO.
I'M NERVOUS!
I GOT A NERVOUS PEE.
ONCE WE GET THE PLEXIGLAS OUT OF THE OVEN,
WE'VE ONLY GOT 60 SECONDS BEFORE THE PLEXIGLAS STARTS TO HARDEN.
IF THE BUBBLE IS NOT 18 INCHES, LIKE, WE GOT NO HEADROOM.
WOW.
HERE WE GO.
READY TO ROCK AND ROLL?
HERE WE GO. ALL RIGHT.
**
LET'S GET IT FLAT.
PUT YOUR SIDE DOWN. GET YOUR SIDE DOWN.
Jolene: GO!
YOU GOT IT HOOKED UP FINE, AARON?
YOU GOT IT HOOKED UP? IT'S ON.
**
-SHE GOES. -YAY!
COME ON, BABY. COME ON.
TAPE MEASURE, TAPE MEASURE! Jolene: TAPE MEASURE!
**
HIGHER!
WE'RE AT 12.
**
AT 14.
**
WE'RE AT 16...
**
17.
**
THAT'S COOLER THAN DANG IT!
[ LAUGHTER ]
HOW HARD IS YOUR HEART BEATING? [ LAUGHS ] FAST.
I FEEL LIKE A MILLION DOLLARS, YOU KNOW?
WE JUST BLEW A BUBBLE.
AND THAT'S GOING TO LOOK REALLY COOL ON THAT CAR.
LIKE, THEY'RE GOING TO ASK, "WHERE'D YOU GET THAT?"
BECAUSE IT'S THE SHAPE OF THE CAR, AND WE MADE IT.
**
[ LAUGHING ]
-DAD-O. -WHAT?
I'VE DONE SOME RESEARCH. YEAH?
AND I THINK THE SUPERCHARGER IS THE WAY TO GO.
AND WHY IS THAT?
WELL, NUMBER ONE, IT'S 2,200 BUCKS.
YEAH.
AND THEY'RE USUALLY, LIKE, 7 GRAND NEW.
-IS THAT RIGHT? -YEAH.
DAD GAVE ME THE JOB OF MAKING THE CAR GO FAST
BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I'M YOUNG, AND I LIKE TO GO FAST.
HE'S OLDER, AND HE'S MORE IN IT FOR THE ART
AND THE LOOK AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
I HAD TO WATCH A COUPLE VIDEOS, AND I THINK,
I DON'T KNOW, TURBOS AND STUFF ARE MORE COMMON.
LET'S PUT A SUPERCHARGER ON IT.
I ACTUALLY LIKE A SUPERCHARGER MORE
BECAUSE IT MAKES THE ENGINE LOOK BETTER.
IT DOES. IT MAKES THE ENGINE LOOK BETTER.
SO IF YOU THINK YOU CAN GET THAT FOR THAT PRICE, WE'LL DO IT.
ON THE INTERNET THERE, I FOUND A GREAT DEAL ON THE SUPERCHARGER.
IT WASN'T THAT MUCH MONEY, BUT A BUDDY THAT OWNED IT
BEFORE SAID HE BLEW UP A COUPLE MOTORS WITH IT,
SO I THINK HE HAD HIS FUN, AND NOW IT'S TIME FOR OUR FUN.
AND I'M HOPING IT WILL GIVE US AT LEAST 200 EXTRA HORSE,
AND I'M NO GENIUS WITH IT EITHER,
BUT FROM THE LOOKS OF IT, LIKE, IT'S COOL, MAN.
-YOU'RE NO GENIUS? -NOT WITH IT.
LIKE, I WATCHED A COUPLE VIDEOS ON THEM,
AND IT SEEMED LIKE, 302 WITH A SUPERCHARGER ON IT,
THEY SEEM TO TURN UP. LET'S DO IT. I'M READY.
I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA. I'M READY, TOO.
I THINK IT WILL HUM. COOL. GOOD JOB.
MM, HUM DIDDLY. RIGHT ON. COOL.
**
TURNING THIS STATION WAGON INTO A RACE CAR IS PRETTY INTENSE.
SO FAR, WE MADE THE FRAME FOR THE BUBBLE.
WE PUT WINGS ON IT, AND THEN WE GOT A TAILLIGHT ON IT.
THE HOOD IS THE LAST BIG PIECE OF FABRICATION
BEFORE WE DO THE FINAL DETAILS.
PIECE OF ROUND ROD, PIECE OF ROUND ROD,
PIECE OF ROUND ROD FROM THERE TO THERE.
RON IS A CLOSE FRIEND. I ASKED RON TO WORK WITH ME
BECAUSE I THINK HE'S A TALENTED MAN.
THIS IS GOING TO GO LIKE THIS.
THE HOOD'S GOING TO COME DOWN TO HERE,
AND THEN I'M GOING TO EXTEND THE CENTER OF THE HOOD
DOWN OVER THE FRONT.
SO THE HOOD IS GOING TO BE LONGER, I'D ASSUME.
YOU'LL SEE.
THE SHAPE OF THE HOOD GIVES IT
THAT FUTURISTIC ROCKET LOOK, MAKE IT LOOK LIKE A ROCKET,
LIKE IT WOULD CUT THROUGH THE AIR QUICK.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING FOR AIR INTAKE FOR IT,
PUT A GRILLE OR SOMETHING IN IT? THE HOOD IS GOING TO COME DOWN
ON THE FRONT END WITH A SCOOP IN IT.
ALL RIGHT.
I'LL KNOW BETTER ONCE YOU START BUILDING IT, LIKE USUALLY.
THE TIMELINE FOR THE BUILD, IT'S VERY AGGRESSIVE.
WE'VE ONLY GOT 8 DAYS LEFT OF THIS.
GUY'S GOT A BIG EVENT PLANNED,
AND HE WANTS TO SHOW OFF HIS NEW CAR.
IT'S WORKING HARD TO MAKE SOME MONEY.
DIRTY HANDS, CLEAN MONEY.
AFTER WE SHEATH THIS DOWN, THEN WE'RE GOING TO TAKE
A PIECE OF ROUND ROD ON THE HOOD,
AND WE'LL CONTINUE IT DOWN IN THE SAME GRADE.
WHEN I GET ONE OF MY CARS OUT, AND THE WORLD GETS TO SEE IT,
IT GETS TO SEE OUR IMAGINATION, AND WHAT WE CAN DO
IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME IS WHAT IT SHOWS PEOPLE.
GOOD. YEAH.
IF YOU CAN SHOW THEM THAT YOU CAN BUILD SOMETHING
THAT NO ONE'S EVER SEEN BEFORE,
PEOPLE WILL COME AND WANT THAT STUFF.
THE BUILDS ARE COMING.
LET'S TACK THIS ON, AARON.
**
-COMING DOWN THE SHEATH? -YEAH.
I DON'T MIND IT COMING AROUND LIKE THIS.
I DON'T MIND, BUT IT'S COMING DOWN A LITTLE BIT, I WOULD SAY.
I THINK WE NEED SOMETHING.
WE NEED SOMETHING FROM HERE TO HERE.
YEAH, SO WE'LL PUT A LITTLE MEASUREMENT IN THERE
AND PUT A ROUND ROD IN THERE.
-SO THOSE AREN'T THE -- -PULL IT IN.
THOSE AREN'T MOVING OUT THERE WHILE I PULL UP ON THIS.
OH, I SEE.
SO YOU GUYS LET ME KNOW WHERE YOU --
AH, OKAY. ...WHERE YOU WANT IT.
PULL THAT -- RIGHT THERE.
MAYBE WE COULD PUT A FEW OF THEM IN THE...
RIGHT THERE. [ SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY ]
-22. -22 3/16ths.
[ CHUCKLING ]
Chad: IT'S FUN POPPING THE DIFFERENT CARS OUT
BECAUSE IT GIVES YOU DIFFERENT EMOTION.
I'M NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO ANYBODY ELSE'S CARS.
ALL I WANT TO DO IS, YOU KNOW, BUILD WHAT I LIKE TO BUILD
AND JUST GRAB PEOPLE'S ATTENTION.
THINK OF WHAT COULD BE, IF YOU REALLY USED YOUR BRAIN,
WHAT A CAR COULD LOOK LIKE.
[ WHIRRING ]
ABOUT TO WELD HER. YEAH.
**
YEP.
**
[ WHIRRING ]
**
I BETTER SLOW UP HERE A LITTLE BIT
AND GET SOME [BLEEP] AIR GOING HERE.
THIS CAR IS STABLE. I LIKE THAT.
**
Chad: WE PICKED SOME SEATS OUT OF A AIRPLANE SALVAGE YARD.
THEY'RE ALUMINUM,
AND I THINK IT'S GOING TO CUT DOWN THE WEIGHT.
WHEN IT'S LIGHTER, IT'S GOING TO MAKE IT FASTER.
Ron: I'VE NEVER PUT AIRPLANE SEATS IN A CAR YET, ESPECIALLY IN-LINE.
SIDE TO SIDE WOULDN'T BE SO WEIRD,
BUT IN-LINE IS DIFFERENT.
**
HAVE A LOOK AT HER, THERE, CHAD. ALL RIGHT.
SIT IN IT AND SEE WHAT YOU THINK AS FAR AS...
I THINK THE BACK IS -- IT FEELS COMFORTABLE FOR ME.
[ CHUCKLES ]
YOU'RE GOING TO BE RIGHT OUT FRONT AND, BAH!
IF YOU LIKE IT WHERE IT IS...
THE ONLY WAY WE'RE GOING TO KNOW IS IF WE PUT THE BUBBLE ON IT.
-[ GRUNTING, CHATTER ] -IT'S A BIG OLD FISHBOWL.
YOU GUYS WANT TO HELP ME SLIDE IT ON?
WHICH ONE IS THE FRONT, THIS SIDE OVER HERE?
**
ALL RIGHT. WE GOT HER, MAN.
ALL RIGHTY.
LET'S PUT HER ON THERE, KEEP HER IN THE CENTER.
SO MOVE THAT THING NOW, WOULD YOU, EH?
-THAT'S COOL. -IT'S "THE JETSONS" ALL OVER.
JETSON CAR!
SHE'S GOING TO CUT THROUGH THE WIND.
I'LL MAKE SURE I CAN FIT IN IT FIRST
BECAUSE I SCRATCH THE HELMET ON THERE, ON THE CAR, RIGHT?
**
IT'S LIKE GETTING INTO A RIDE, TOO.
IT'S CLOSE!
I HAVE TO GET DOWN.
[ CHUCKLING ]
I THINK YOU GOT LOTS OF HEADROOM.
YEAH. I GOT LOTS OF HEADROOM, ACTUALLY.
YEAH. IT'S NOT BAD.
LIKE, I HAVE TO REALLY SIT UP TO...
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? LIKE...
YOU REALLY HAVE TO WORK AT IT. YEAH, I HAVE TO WORK TO GET IT.
YEAH.
[ LAUGHTER ] THAT'S QUITE THE --
THAT'S QUITE THE HEADGEAR.
I'VE KIND OF STUCK WITH MY IMAGINATION
BECAUSE IT'S NEVER LIED TO ME OR STRAYED ME
ANYWHERE WRONG, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?
LIKE, MY BRAIN IS ALWAYS...
I ONLY DO WHAT MY BRAIN TELLS ME TO DO.
[ LAUGHTER ]
-[BLEEP] YOU LOOKING AT? -[ SIGHS, LAUGHS ]
OKAY.
THAT'S THE BELT, LOWER PULLEY.
Colton: THE SUPERCHARGER, IT'S AGGRESSIVE.
LIKE, WHEN YOU POP THE HOOD,
YOU NOTICE THAT SITTING ON THERE.
UGH! YOU GOT HER NOW.
SHE'S NICE AND LIGHT.
IT'S GOING TO MAKE THE CAR FAST, MEAN,
AND WHEN IT STARTS, YOU'RE GOING TO KNOW IT'S NEAR.
-HOPEFULLY THIS SHOULD WORK. -SHOULD.
DAD'S ALWAYS AT ME ABOUT MAKING GOOD DECISIONS,
AND I FEEL GOOD ABOUT A SUPERCHARGER.
WHO DOESN'T LIKE A SUPERCHARGER?
DAD'S NEVER OWNED ANYTHING LIKE THAT BEFORE, EITHER.
**
I COME BEARING GIFTS.
OH, WOW.
LOOK AT THAT, WOULD YOU?
LET ME SEE!
I'VE NEVER DRIVEN A CAR WITH A SUPERCHARGER ON IT BEFORE.
WOW.
IT MIGHT NEED A LITTLE BIT OF PAINT.
SHE IS USED.
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THAT BAD BOY ON THERE.
THIS SUPERCHARGER, RIGHT ON, COLTON, WAY TO GO.
THAT A LOT OF WORK, ALEX?
PUT THAT ON? YEAH.
OH...YEAH.
I'M GOING TO HAVE TO PULL THE HEADS OFF
AND PUT SOME GOOD STUDS AND STUFF IN IT.
OH, WOW.
Colton: ALL SORTS OF DIFFERENT THINGS COULD GO WRONG, I IMAGINE.
WHEN YOU GET TO PLAYING WITH THAT AMOUNT OF COMPRESSION,
LIKE, JUST ONE -- [ WHOOSHES ]
THAT ENGINE COULD BE BLOWN RIGHT UP, DONE.
BUT WE HAVE ALEX HERE, AND I'M CONFIDENT IN HIM.
Alex: IT'S GOING TO BE A FUN TOY.
TIME'S RUNNING OUT.
EVERY SECOND COUNTS WHEN WE'RE AT CRUNCH TIME.
[ ENGINE SPUTTERS ]
WELL, SHE'S LOSING POWER.
IF THE ENGINE DIDN'T START, I WOULD FEEL RESPONSIBLE.
WE'RE GETTING THIS CAR THAT CHAD MADE FOR ME.
I'M EXCITED. A LOT OF PEOPLE I KNOW ARE HERE.
[ ENGINE REVS ]
I HOPE HE COMES BACK.
**
THE SUPERCHARGER CAME IN, AND IT LOOKS KIND OF CRAPPY.
THERE'S SOME OLD BLACK PAINT ON IT AND WHATNOT,
BUT I'M GOING TO DO SOME WORK WITH IT
AND CLEAN IT ALL UP AND GET IT ON THE CAR,
AND HOPEFULLY DAD FALLS IN LOVE WITH IT.
THAT'S THE PLAN.
IF IT DON'T, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO TELL HIM.
UH, GOAL IS, TODAY, IS TO FINISH OFF THE FRONT END,
ALL WELDED, ALL GROUND, ALL DONE.
I WOULD'VE LIKED TO TRY TO FINISH IT YESTERDAY.
THAT'S A SQUARE BOX, TO ME. I DON'T WANT THAT.
JUST TOOK A LITTLE BIT OF TIME TO THINK ABOUT IT
AND COME BACK AND DO IT AGAIN, RIGHT?
WE DON'T WANT TO TAKE TOO MUCH TIME.
BUT THIS HOOD SCOOP DOESN'T LOOK RIGHT.
I JUST DON'T LIKE HOW IT'S SHAPING UP.
THAT MEANS I HAVE TO START OVER AGAIN, BUT IT'S ONLY ROUND ROD,
SO I'M JUST GOING TO CUT HERE AND CUT THERE AND WELD IT
BACK TOGETHER AND SEE IF IT FITS IN MY EYE.
IF IT DOESN'T FIT IN MY EYE, THEN I'LL CHANGE IT AGAIN.
WHO'S THAT THAT'S PULLING OUT BACK?
WHO'S THAT, BABY? IT'S GUY MEISTER.
HE'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE, IS HE?
WHAT'S GUY HERE, TO GIVE US MORE MONEY ON THE BUILD?
HA HA!
[ DOG BARKING ]
-HOW YOU DOING, GUY? -WHAT'S HAPPENING?
I WANTED TO STOP IN TO FIND OUT ABOUT THE CAR.
-I'M GETTING NERVOUS. -ARE YOU?
-IT'S LOOKING REAL GOOD. -IS IT?
YOU'RE GOING TO BE PLEASANTLY SURPRISED.
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO LET ME LOOK AT IT YET?
NO, I CAN'T DO THAT. THAT WOULD JUST RUIN IT FOR ME.
I WANT TO SEE YOUR EXPRESSION -- REMEMBER, IT'S PAID FOR.
OH, YEAH, YEAH. I KNOW.
ALL I WANT TO SEE IS YOUR EXPRESSION ON YOUR FACE,
THEN I'LL KNOW IF I'VE DONE A GOOD JOB OR NOT.
-YEP. -I CAN'T LET HIM LOOK AT THE CAR
BECAUSE I KNOW HE'S GOING TO WANT TO CHANGE THINGS.
THAT'S JUST THE NATURE OF THE BEAST.
YOU'RE PROBABLY GOING TO NEED A NEW PAIR OF SHORTS
WHEN YOU SEE THIS THING. WELL, I HOPE SO.
[ LAUGHING ]
-IS IT RUNNING? -NOT THIS SECOND, IT'S NOT.
IT'S GOING TO BE KID-FRIENDLY. LIKE, THEY'RE GOING TO LIKE IT.
WHEN WE UNVEIL IT... YEAH.
...WE'LL HAVE SOME KIDS THERE. YEAH.
I THINK THE TRUEST FORM OF HONESTY IS A KID, IS IT NOT?
THAT'S IT. KIDS, DRUNKS, AND YOGA PANTS DON'T LIE.
[ LAUGHS ] COLTON?
I HEARD "YOGA PANTS." I LIKE YOGA PANTS.
KIDS, DRUNKS AND YOGA PANTS DON'T LIE.
NO. [ LAUGHTER ]
I'D JUST LIKE TO SEE IT. [ LAUGHS ] THAT'S ALL.
BUT APPARENTLY I'M NOT GOING TO, SO...
WELL, BECAUSE HE WON'T LET ME IN THE [BLEEP] DAMN BUILDING.
[ LAUGHS ] WELL, I'M GOING TO HEAD OUT.
I GOT NOTHING TO DO SOMEWHERE ELSE, SO...
OKAY.
I'M GOING TO GO DRIVE AROUND A LITTLE BIT.
-HAVE A GOOD DAY. -SEE YOU GUYS LATER.
YOU'LL LIKE IT. YOU'LL LIKE IT.
-YOU'LL LIKE IT. -I'M QUITE SURE I WILL.
YOU'LL LOVE IT. [ CHUCKLES ]
-OKAY. -WILL IT SPIN?
-LATER. -OKAY. SEE YOU LATER.
LOOK IT UP. GOOGLE IT.
[ LAUGHING ]
WHAT IT MEANS, DUDE... [ LAUGHS ]
...IS CHARGING THE ENGINE FULL OF AIR
BECAUSE THE ENGINE'S ACTUALLY A PUMP, YOU KNOW?
IT'S JUST A PUMP.
TOO EARLY IN THE MORNING FOR QUESTIONS.
YEAH. IT'S JUST A PUMP.
SO WE'RE CHARGING IT FULL OF AIR.
YEAH, AND THAT'S WHY THE CYLINDER --
THAT'S WHY HE SAID THE CYLINDER IS SO HIGH-COMPRESSION
BECAUSE THERE'S SO LITTLE AIR IN THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER,
AND THAT THING SHOVES AIR INTO IT,
SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE TAKING ALL THE HEADS OFF
AND ALL THAT STUFF, SO IT'S
SUPERCHARGING THE ENGINE WITH AIR.
I SPENT A LOT OF TIME TRYING TO FIND IT, AND IT'S ON ME.
LIKE, IT'S MY RESPONSIBILITY, SO IF I BUY IT
AND BRING IT HOME, THINK I'M A BIG SHOT
AND IT'S ACTUALLY A LEMON, THAT'S ON ME.
THE THING IS, IT TAKES --
THAT THERE TAKES POWER TO MAKE POWER.
MAN, LIKE, I HOPE IT GOES.
SO THAT KIND OF PUTS THE TURBOCHARGER TO SHAME,
DOES IT NOT?
-WHAT? -IF YOU DO IT UP RIGHT.
IF YOU HAVE AN ENGINE DONE UP WITH A TURBO
AND AN ENGINE DONE UP WITH A SUPERCHARGER...
OH, LORD.
...WOULD THE SUPERCHARGER MAKE MORE POWER ON THE SAME THING?
COLTON? YES?
IS THERE ANYTHING YOU'RE DOING WHILE YOU'RE ASKING QUESTIONS?
I DON'T KNOW.
DO SOMETHING WHILE YOU'RE ASKING.
CLEAN UP OVER WHILE YOU'RE STANDING THERE.
CLEAN UP FOR HIM, AND JUST ASK QUESTIONS,
AND KEEP MOVING, CLEANING UP AND HELPING US, PLEASE.
IF YOU NEED ANYTHING, TELL ME. YEAH.
[ WHIRRING ]
SO WHAT I'M DOING HERE IS,
I'M BUILDING THIS SCOOP ON THE HOOD.
LAST NIGHT, I PUT A ROUND ROD ON THERE
AND BUILT TWO SIDES UP, PUT A SQUARE DROP IN FRONT.
IT KIND OF LOOKED LIKE A CARDBOARD BOX,
SO THEN WE JUST MADE A BEND,
AND NOW IT LOOKS MORE LIKE A SCOOP, YOU KNOW?
THERE'S MORE DEFINITION TO IT. IT'S GOT A PEAK HERE.
IT'S GOING THIS WAY, JUST LOOKS COOLER.
AIR IS GOING TO GO IN THIS FOR THE ENGINE.
IF IT DOESN'T, IT'S GOING TO LOOK GOOD...
I MEAN, IT LOOKS GOOD --
RIGHT? YEAH.
IT'S GOING TO LOOK GOOD.
WE CAN CALL IT AN AIR DUCT IF YOU LIKE.
WE CAN CALL IT A COWL.
YEAH, WELL, WE COULD CALL IT A SNOUT IF YOU WANT.
THE ONLY THING I'M THINKING IS, IT'S ONLY GOT ONE NOSTRIL.
**
HERE WE GO.
PUT IT ON THE CENTER. IT FITS NICE.
WE CAN CALL IT A HOLE.
WE CAN CALL IT, "WOW."
NO WARP-Y ON THE HOOD-Y.
TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF THIS PEAK OUT.
RIGHT THERE ON THAT PEAK, BOY.
-READY? -YEAH.
[ CRACKLES ]
ALL RIGHT, COLTON.
THAT'S A BADASS HOOD I MADE. THAT'S JUST BADASS.
WHERE DO YOU SEE A HOOD LIKE THAT, HUH?
AIRPLANES AND ROCKET SHIPS.
[ CRACKLING ]
THE CARS THAT WE ARE BUILDING
ARE ATTRACTING A LOT OF ATTENTION,
AND LIKE THEY SAY, IF YOU BUILD IT, THEY WILL COME.
**
Alex: WE WANT TO PUT 15-INCH, FIVE-BOLT WHEELS
WITH DRAG TIRES FOR THIS CAR.
WE NEED TO GET FIVE-BOLT AXLES
SO WE CAN PUT THE RIMS AND TIRES ON THE CAR,
SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO CHANGE THE AXLES OUT.
WE GOT A REAR END OUT BACK. I THINK THE AXLES WILL WORK.
SO ONCE I TAKE THAT OFF, EVERYTHING'S GOING TO COME
PLOWING OUT, ISN'T IT? YEAH. I GET TWO JACKS IN...
BRACE HER UP?
...SET IT UP OFF THE FLOOR ON JACK STANDS.
YOU CAN SMELL IT ALREADY.
NOTHING SMELLS WORSE THAN GOOD OLD AXLE GREASE.
OOH!
JUST LIKE OPENING A CAN OF SMASHED [BLEEP].
IT IS, MAN. LIKE, IT'S NOT EVEN, LIKE, A FART SMELL.
IT SMELLS LIKE [BLEEP]. I DON'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT [BLEEP].
IT'S NOT A FART SMELL. [ SHOUTS ]
IT'S LIKE -- [ LAUGHTER ]
UGH, YOU CAN'T EVEN BE IN THE ROOM.
FARTS DON'T HAVE NOTHING ON REAR-END JUICES.
OH, NO, NO, NO.
OH, DON'T TURN THAT THAT MUCH. THERE WE GO.
CAN OF SMASHED [BLEEP], SMELL LIKE.
WHEN YOU TAKE A MECHANIC'S COURSE,
DO THEY GO OVER ALL THIS WITH YOU?
-YEP. -THE INSIDES AND OUTSIDES?
MOST OF IT.
ALEX IS THE MECHANICAL GENIUS.
LISTEN, IF ALEX IS GOING TO SHOW HIM SOMETHING,
I HOPE HE SOAKS IT UP LIKE A LITTLE RAG.
IF COLTON CAN BE HALF THE MAN ALEX IS, I'D BE A HAPPY FATHER.
**
Alex: I WON'T KNOW UNTIL I TRY TO FIT THE AXLE IN
AND SEE IF EVERYTHING LINES UP.
YEAH. LOOK, THERE.
SO THAT SHOULD BE PERFECT ON THAT SIDE.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE OTHER SIDE, BROTHER?
WELL, I'M JUST LETTING YOU KNOW IT DIDN'T FEEL RIGHT.
PUTTING THE OTHER ONE IN.
[ CHATTER IN BACKGROUND ]
-CAN'T FIND THE GROOVES, ALEX. -YEAH.
IS THAT WHAT YOU WERE HAVING A PROBLEM WITH?
WELL, HOW FAR DID IT GET IN, ALL THE WAY?
NO. I CAN'T -- LIKE, I GOT IT RIGHT TO THE END
WHERE YOU GOT TO TRY TO FIND THE GROOVES.
YEAH, LIKE, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PICK UP, KIND OF MOVE IT.
-DID YOU GET IT ALL THE WAY IN? -YEAH.
I HAD IT ALL THE WAY IN THERE, IT WAS.
I DON'T KNOW, BROTHER.
IT MIGHT NEED TWO LONG AXLES.
ONE'S LONG, AND ONE'S SHORTER. WHY DOES THAT MATTER?
BECAUSE IT'S THE WAY THE DIFFERENTIAL IS IN THE HOUSINGS.
THE REAR AXLE HAS ONE LARGE AXLE, ONE SHORT AXLE,
BUT WE CAN'T FIND TWO LONG AXLES.
WE DON'T HAVE THAT TYPE OF TIME TO CHANGE
THE WHOLE DIFFERENTIAL.
WE'RE IN AN AREA THAT,
YOU KNOW, IT'S HARD TO GET PARTS.
**
HERE WE ARE.
NOW IT'S TIME TO GET WET AND GET THAT AXLE OUT.
HA HA HA HA HA. WE'LL GET HER.
WE'RE HEADED TO MY OLD MAN'S PLACE.
I'M PRETTY SURE THERE'S A COUPLE AXLES
THAT ARE UP THERE THAT WE CAN USE.
-OH. -THERE'S YOUR PA.
Alex: YEAH.
Colton: THERE'S ONE OF THE OLD RANGERS RIGHT THERE.
MY OLD ONE. [ DOOR CHIMES ]
Alex: THIS IS WHERE I GREW UP WHEN I WAS YOUNGER.
THERE USED TO BE A LOT MORE CARS,
AND IT'S BEEN CLEANED UP A LOT SINCE THEN.
RIGHT NOW, IT'S JUST THE PARTS,
VEHICLES, AND STUFF OF VERY RARE DIESEL RANGERS,
WHICH WERE ONLY MADE A FEW YEARS.
HAVEN'T SEEN YOU FOR A LONG TIME.
NO. I'VE BEEN PRETTY BUSY, SO...
YEAH.
I SAID, "WELL, WE GET AN OPPORTUNITY,
I'LL GO SEE MY OLD MAN." YEAH.
[ LAUGHS ]
YEAH.
YEAH, SO YOU WANT TO GO SEE --
GET THAT AXLE, I GUESS, THAT BLUE --
I THINK THE BLUE TRUCK OUT BACK.
AS YOU LOOK AROUND, YOU CAN SEE WHAT ALEX GREW UP ON.
LIKE, THERE'S GO-KART FRAMES AROUND,
MOTORCYCLE FRAMES AROUND, ENGINES EVERYWHERES, RIGHT?
YOU CAN JUST SEE HOW HE WAS BROUGHT UP,
AND, YOU KNOW, HE WAS OUT HERE PICKING
AND LEARNING ALL THE TIME, AND IT JUST GOES TO SHOW
WHY HE'S SUCH A GOOD MECHANIC, BECAUSE HE LIVED OFF IT.
BLOWS MY MIND.
'86 FORD RANGER, DIESEL.
OH.
WATCH YOUR STEP THERE, LOUIS.
-YEP. -IT'LL DO.
I THINK A FORD RANGER REAR AXLE WILL WORK
BECAUSE THE GEARS ARE THE SAME,
BUT THE BOLT PATTERN IS DIFFERENT.
SO WE GOT TO TRY THIS.
I'M HOPING THEY WILL WORK.
WELL, I GUESS WE'D CRAWL UNDERNEATH ON THIS SIDE.
YOU THINK I CAN FIT UNDER IT?
MIGHT AS WELL JUST GO FOR IT. I'M BIG, FAT, AND TOUGH.
[ CRANKING, WHIRRING ]
**
WE'RE IN!
I'M GOING TO SLIDE FURTHER IN AND TRY TO GET THE PIN OUT.
YOU NEED ANOTHER ONE?
UM...
[ METAL CLANKS ] NO. I GOT IT. PULL IT OUT.
THERE'S ONE.
WATCH YOUR FINGERS.
DID YOU GET THE OTHER CLIP OUT?
YEP. I ALREADY GAVE IT TO YOU.
ALL RIGHT. SO THE OTHER AXLE, WE'RE DONE HERE.
PULLED HER OUT.
-WELL, THANKS, DAD. -YEP.
SEE YOU, BUDDY. YOU'RE ALL FULL OF DIRT.
THAT'S WHY I CAME. [ LAUGHTER ]
Colton: I WAS PUMPED TO PULL THAT OUT.
-PRETTY QUICK, ACTUALLY. -DID YOU?
-DID IT IN, LIKE, 10 MINUTES. -COOL.
YOU'LL HAVE TO START JUNKING FORD RANGERS.
[ LAUGHTER ]
-HUH? -YEAH.
Chad: ALEX IS SHOWING THINGS TO COLTON.
COLTON IS TAKING TO THAT, AND I REALLY ENJOY THAT.
ALEX'S OLD MAN'S A PRETTY COOL DUDE, DAD.
-IS HE? -HE WAS THERE, YEAH.
82 YEARS OLD, STILL HOCKING THERE.
HE'S A PRETTY COOL CAT.
Chad: WELL, ALEX IS A COOL CAT.
COOL CAT PROBABLY FELL FROM THE COOL CAT TREE.
[ LAUGHTER ] -YEAH.
JUST MAKE SURE YOU DON'T RUB THAT NEW SEAL.
[ WHIRRING ]
COME ON. AND THERE WE GO.
BLUE. YEAH.
FITS NICE.
Colton: THE AXLE WE GOT, IT FIT GOOD.
THAT'S A BIG RELIEF.
WHEN I FIRST STARTED, LIKE, I DIDN'T KNOW MUCH.
WE'RE GOING TO PUT THE CASE BACK ON NOW?
YEP.
NOW I'M DOING MECHANICAL STUFF WITH ALEX,
SO I'M GETTING EVEN BETTER AT THAT.
Chad: AS I LOOK AT THIS CAR, KNOWING THAT IT WAS,
I'M TRULY AMAZING HOW IT LOOKS, YOU KNOW?
IT'S JUST FANTASTIC.
FROM WHAT MY BRAIN, I THOUGHT, AND TO PUT IT
ON THE MOST UGLIEST CAR IN THE WORLD
AND TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE A ROCKET SHIP,
LIKE IT'S GOING SO FAST, YOU KNOW,
IT MAKES ME HAPPY, TICKLES MY BRAIN.
DO YOU THINK ANYBODY IN THE WORLD HAS SOMETHING SIMILAR?
-NOT EVEN SIMILAR. -NO, I DON'T THINK SO.
Chad: THERE'S SO MUCH MORE WORK THAT WE HAVE TO DO TO THIS THING,
BUT IT'S READY FOR PAINT, AND WE'RE GOING TO PAINT IT.
**
GUY WANTS IT FAST AND LOUD, AND WHY NOT PUT
A FAST AND LOUD PAINT JOB ON IT?
REALITY SOMETIMES SUCKS.
WHY NOT THINK ABOUT THE UNREALISTIC?
**
THESE CARS ARE IN KIDS' DREAMS, YOU KNOW -- THE WEIRD CARS,
THE GLASS TOPS, THE CARS THAT ARE LIFTED IN THE FRONT.
THEY'RE POINTY IN THE BACK. THEY GOT WINGS ON.
THEY'RE DREAMS. THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE.
THEY'RE DREAMS, AND IF YOU DREAM,
YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO BE CRAZY ENOUGH TO GET ONE SOMEDAY.
**
ANYBODY GETS IN MY WAY TODAY IS GOING TO GET A BAT IN THE FACE.
JUST STAND BACK, SHUT UP, AND WATCH.
[ LAUGHTER ] -I'M JUST TEASING.
I'M GETTING BEHIND HERE BECAUSE I HAD TO MAKE IT
SO THE ENGINE WOULD HOLD THE SUPERCHARGER.
IT'S JUST A LOT OF EXTRA WORK, YOU KNOW?
THERE'S A LOT OF STUFF THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE YET.
GOT TO BOLT UP A CARBURETOR.
THERE'S SOME UNFINISHED WIRING THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.
YOU KNOW, COOLANT HAS GOT TO BE IN THE VEHICLE,
AND THEN WE COULD START THIS UP.
SO WHAT YOU'VE GOT TO DO --
YOU'VE GOT EVERYTHING TO DO, HAVEN'T YOU?
YEAH. [ LAUGHTER ]
COLTON'S PAINTING THE HEADERS. AARON IS DOING THE DASH.
I'M PUTTING THE INTERIOR -- HELP PUTTING THE INTERIOR IN,
AND ALEX IS DOING WHAT HE'S GOT TO DO.
WATCH IT.
[ CHATTER IN BACKGROUND ]
I'M GOING TO CUT THIS BELT HERE IN A MINUTE.
-DO WHAT? -YOU GOT A MARKER?
I'M JUST TRYING TO GET A LITTLE BIT OF PRE-WIRING DONE FOR AL
SO THAT WORKING UNDER THE DASH ISN'T SUCH A PAIN IN THE ASS.
I'M TRYING TO KNOCK LITTLE THINGS OFF THE LIST
SO THAT WE AREN'T HERE UNTIL MIDNIGHT TONIGHT
TRYING TO GET THIS THING READY.
GUY MEISTER IS ANXIOUS TO GET HIS RIDE.
GIVE HER A LITTLE WIPE DOWN WITH ONE OF THESE WIPES,
ALL THE DIRT OFF IT.
THEM HEADERS ARE GOING TO BE A BIG THING ON THAT CAR.
THEY'RE COOLER THAN DANG IT.
THAT'S PROBABLY MY FAVORITE PART OTHER THAN THE PAINT.
[ HUMS TUNE ]
YOU'RE SATIN-BLACKING THEM, ARE YOU?
YEP. WHAT ARE YOU USING?
JUST WIPING THEM DOWN, WIPING DIRT OFF OF THEM.
WITH WHAT, LYSOL? JUST A WIPE.
WHEN THE [BLEEP] DID WE START USING LYSOL?
I'M NOT GOING TO PAINT OVER --
THAT'S A [BLEEP] FURNITURE THING.
WELL, I DON'T KNOW. IT WAS A WIPE.
WELL, I'M TELLING YOU. I'M SORRY. IT WAS A WIPE.
I JUST GRABBED IT -- NO SORRIES ABOUT IT.
WHEN DID WE START USING FURNITURE POLISH
FOR WIPING THINGS DOWN?
-"DISINFECTANT WIPES." -I DON'T KNOW.
-IT TOOK THE DIRT OFF. -WE'RE NOT KILLING BACTERIA.
WE'RE PAINTING.
OUT THERE WIPING THEM HEADERS OFF
WITH DISINFECTANT CLOTHS, LIKE, BACTERIA CLOTHS, LIKE --
-LEAVE A NICE FILM ON IT. -HE WANTED IT TO BE CLEAN.
-[BLEEP]. -THAT LOOKS GOOD, AARON.
THAT DASH IS VERY DASHING. YOU'VE NEVER HEARD THAT BEFORE.
THAT LOOKS GOOD.
EACH TOGGLE -- A LIGHT.
EVERY TIME YOU FLICK ONE OF THEM,
IT'LL TURN SOMETHING ON. OH, RIGHT ON. COOL.
THE MORE IT COMES TOGETHER, THE MORE LIKE...
[BLEEP] LIKE, YEAH. YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
I'M GOING TO PUT YOUR SON TO WORK.
THIS IS HIS TIME TO SHINE.
HE'S GOING TO DO THE SUPERCHARGER.
OH, IS HE? SUPERCHARGE COLTON!
I CAN'T WAIT TO SUPERCHARGE HIM, SEE WHAT HE ACTS LIKE.
OH, IT'S COMING TOGETHER,
BUT IT'S GOING TO FEEL A LOT BETTER KNOWING THE CAR STARTS.
I'M HOPING THAT COLTON MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE
ON THE SUPERCHARGER, BUT WE'LL SEE.
-READY? -YES.
-CAN YOU HANDLE IT? -OH, YEAH.
DON'T DROP IT, FOR CHRIST'S SAKES.
Colton: I'M PUMPED THE SUPERCHARGER IS GOING IN.
LIKE, THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF WORK FOR THAT MOTOR,
PAINTING IT, STRIPPING IT AND TEARING IT DOWN.
**
WHAT'S THIS TORQUED AT?
IT'S ONLY 10 FOOT-POUNDS. IT AIN'T MUCH, BUT...
I'M GETTING REAL NERVOUS. I HOPE IT WORKS WELL.
SHE MAY BE A LEMON. WHO KNOWS?
THERE YOU GO.
**
Jolene: WE'RE SUPPOSED TO REVEAL THE CAR TODAY.
WE ARE COMING DOWN TO THE WIRE.
IT'S, LIKE, THE FINAL TOUCHES OF THE BUILD.
Aaron: OH, THIS IS A FIRST FOR ME.
Jolene: TIME'S RUNNING OUT.
EVERY SECOND COUNTS WHEN WE'RE AT CRUNCH TIME.
-IT'S AWESOME. I LOVE IT. -SUPER.
Jolene: GUY'S GOT A BUNCH OF CUSTOMERS COMING,
SO WE REALLY CAN'T BE LATE.
WE SAID WE'RE GOING TO BE THERE,
WE'RE GOING TO BE THERE OR BE SQUARE.
WE'RE GOING TO REVEAL THIS CAR,
AND WE STILL HAVEN'T HEARD THE ENGINE WITH THE SUPERCHARGER.
DOES IT EVEN WORK? THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE TO FIND OUT.
SEE THEM HUBCAPS.
AND THAT WEIGHT LIES ON COLTON. THAT'S ON HIS ASS.
HE BOUGHT THE SUPERCHARGER, YOU KNOW?
IF IT DON'T WORK, WELL, WHO WE GOING TO LOOK DOWN ON? COLTON.
YOU DIDN'T WANT TO GET A FUNNEL? ALL RIGHT.
THAT'S WHAT THE SPOUT'S FOR, ISN'T IT?
DOES EVERYBODY FEEL A RUSH YET? [ LAUGHTER ]
-YOU FEEL A RUSH? -A LITTLE BIT, YEAH.
I FEEL A RUSH. [ LAUGHTER ]
THE BEAST IS FED.
**
Chad: THE FUZZY ORANGE SEATS ARE JUST FOR FUN.
WE'RE NOT RUNNING OUT AND BUYING A BIG-DOLLAR INTERIOR.
WE DON'T WANT THAT.
WE WANT CHEAP, CHEAP, CHEAP, SO WE CAN SPEND THE MONEY
ON THE OTHER PART FAST, FAST, FAST AND LOOK REALLY GOOD.
**
WHERE THE GLASS TOP IS THERE FOR SAFETY,
WE'RE GOING TO PUT IN A ROLL BAR.
CAN'T HAVE THAT LIKE THAT IN THERE.
GOT TO LEAN IT BACK AND MAKE SURE IT'S IN PLACE.
[ CRACKLING ]
**
YIP, YIP, YIP. THERE YOU GO.
THIS BUBBLE THAT WE'RE PUTTING ON
FITS PERFECTLY RIGHT HARD AGAINST THIS.
YOU GUYS BRING IT BACK, AND I'LL BE ON THE OTHER SIDE.
-GOT AHOLD OF THE BACK, AARON? -YEP.
ALL RIGHT. LET'S SET THE BACK DOWN.
IS IT IN? GOT TO GET INSIDE THERE.
GOT TO GO IN.
**
-THERE SHE IS. -AND THE ONLY THING HOLDING IT
IS THAT TAB UP THERE. -LOOK AT THAT.
-WOW. -I LIKE THAT. IT LOOKS GOOD.
-SHE'S ON. IT FITS. -I LOVE THIS THING.
-ALL RIGHT. -WOW.
[ WHIRS ]
THAT'LL HOLD IT.
[ WHIRS ]
WONDERFUL.
THIS THING AIN'T WILD OR NOTHING.
GOT TO GET IT RUNNING, AND WE'LL GO FROM THERE.
THERE'S A LOT RIDING ON COLTON,
AND I HOPE THE SUPERCHARGER WORKS OUT.
WHAT ALEX HAS DONE IN ONE DAY
WOULD BE A WEEK'S WORK FOR SOMEBODY ELSE.
GUY'S GOT A BUNCH OF CUSTOMERS COMING TO SEE THE CAR TODAY,
SO WE GOT TO GET IT OUT THERE.
I WANT TO PUT A LITTLE BIT OF FUEL IN IT AND ROLL OVER,
SEE IF SHE'LL FIRE. OKAY.
HOW YOU WANT TO DO THIS?
YOU LET ME KNOW, AND I'M THERE FOR YOU, HOW'S THAT?
SOMEBODY HAS TO HOP IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT.
**
WE DID HER UP FOR YOU.
I HOPE SHE DON'T TAKE OFF AND GO THROUGH THE END OF THE BUILDING.
Colton: THEY'RE STARTING UP THE CAR TO SUPERCHARGE HER,
AND I'M GETTING A LITTLE NERVOUS.
I PICKED A SUPERCHARGER, SO IF THIS THING STARTS UP,
RUNS GOOD, AWESOME.
BUT IF IT DON'T, IT WOULD KIND OF SUCK.
OKAY, TURN THOSE SWITCHES ON.
-WHICH ONE? -THAT BIG ONE, TURN IT.
-NO, THE OTHER WAY. -OTHER WAY, OTHER WAY.
-LIKE THAT? -YEP.
THESE FIRST TWO SWITCHES UP. [ CLICKS ]
AND THEN HIT YOUR PUSH BUTTON.
UH, HIT THE BUTTON?
YEP, PUSH BUTTON.
[ IGNITION CRANKS, STOPS ]
OOH, WHOA!
ALL RIGHTY.
[ IGNITION CRANKS, STOPS ]
OKAY. I GOT TO CHECK TO SEE IF I GOT FIRE.
[ CLICKING ]
OH...I NEED A PLUG.
**
ALL RIGHT. I'M GOING TO TURN IT BACK ON.
YEP. [ CLICKING ]
[ IGNITION CRANKS, STOPS ] NO FIRE.
TRY IT AGAIN.
[ IGNITION CRANKS, STOPS ]
NOPE. SHE'S LOSING POWER.
IF THE ENGINE DIDN'T START, I WOULD FEEL RESPONSIBLE.
GOT NOTHING COMING IN THE MSD BOX.
I SHOULD HAVE POWER ON THAT WIRE THERE.
AND I GOT NO FLASH IN THAT.
YOU KNOW, IT'S A FIRING ISSUE, SO, YOU KNOW,
I'M CHECKING POWERS AND GROUNDS.
I CHECKED THE WIRING. EVERYTHING WAS GOOD THERE.
CHECKED THE COIL, COIL IS GOOD.
I GOT NOTHING, NO FIRE, NO POWER COMING OUT TO THE COIL.
[ HIGH-PITCHED CRACKLING ]
DISTRIBUTOR IS NO GOOD.
-Jolene: ARE YOU SERIOUS? -YEP.
**
MAN, THAT SUCKS.
Alex: WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE DISTRIBUTOR,
YOU KNOW, IT TELLS WHAT CYLINDER TO FIRE ON,
SO, YOU KNOW, IT'S A PRETTY IMPORTANT PART OF THE ENGINE.
**
I GOT AN OLD DISTRIBUTOR HERE,
SO WE GOT TO SWAP IT OUT, CHANGE IT.
Chad: SO WHAT'S GOING ON NOW? WHAT ARE YOU UP TO NOW?
I'M GOING TO DROP IT IN AND --
OKAY, YOU'RE GOING TO USE THAT DISTRIBUTOR?
YEP. I'M GOING TO PULL THAT OUT,
LINE IT UP, AND HOPEFULLY HIT THAT KEY,
AND SHE'LL PURR LIKE A KITTEN.
**
YOU KNOW, IT WAS KIND OF A QUICK FIX.
I'M GLAD IT WORKED OUT THAT WAY,
AND KIND OF FIGURED OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON QUICK ENOUGH.
**
LOOK LIKE BRAND-NEW.
GOOD. GOT IT?
YEP. GET IT?
YAY!
-ALL RIGHT. -I'M GOING TO CHEER FOR THAT.
[ LAUGHTER ]
COME ON. DO YOUR DANCE, BUDDY.
Colton: DAD'S JOKING AROUND NOW,
BUT I DON'T THINK HE'LL BE LAUGHING TOO MUCH
IF WE END UP MISSING THE REVEAL.
-POWER ON! -FIRST TWO, YEP.
ENGINE NUMBER TWO, TURN HER OVER?
-YEP. -LOOK OUT.
[ IGNITION CRANKS, STOPS ]
ALL RIGHT.
[ IGNITION CRANKING, STOPS ]
NOW...
**
ARE YOU [BLEEP] SERIOUS?
WHO'S GOT A CAP?
-THE CAP BROKE? -YES.
THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR PLAYING WITH [BLEEP]!
OH, YOU [BLEEP] [BLEEP].
I WANT TO PULL, SEE IF IT'S GOT FIRE COMING INTO THAT.
WE'RE GOING TO NEED A CAP.
LUCKILY, I DRIVE A MUSTANG, FORD MUSTANG, WITH A 5-LITER.
A LITTLE DIFFERENT PUNCH OF COLOR.
YEAH.
Chad: THAT'S PRETTY [BLEEP] BAD,
YOU GOT TO ROB YOUR OWN [BLEEP] CAR.
-Jolene: IT'S LOVE. -Chad: THAT'S LOVE.
YOU KNOW WHAT I CAN SEE FROM HERE?
CHINA? ETERNITY.
Colton: I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO SAY SCRATCHES.
[ LAUGHS ]
STARGAZING!
WHOA. [BLEEP] THAT'S ON THERE.
-WE GOT FIRE? -YEP.
-SHE GOING TO GO. -TRY HER.
ONBOARD SWITCH, ENGINE NUMBER ONE, ENGINE NUMBER TWO.
[ LAUGHS ]
[ IGNITION CRANKING ]
[ LOUD POP ] -AH!
-WHOO! -WHOO!
**
WAY TO HEAVEN WAS A FOUR-DOOR CAR
THAT WAS GIVEN TO ME FOR FIXING A HOOD.
THE HOOD WAS $200, AND IT COST ME $200 WORTH OF LABOR.
IT WAS A '39 PLYMOUTH, AND THAT CAR WAS JUNK.
I BUILT THE WHOLE ASS END OF THAT CAR.
I CHOPPED THE ROOF OFF THAT CAR.
I DID EVERYTHING BUT MAKE LOVE TO IT.
I SPENT A LOT OF TIME IN THAT CAR.
I LOVE THAT CAR.
THAT'S THE CAR THAT I LEARNED THAT I COULD TAKE ANYTHING
AND CHANGE IT INTO WHAT I WANT.
[ IGNITION CRANKING ]
[ LOUD POP ] -AH!
-WHOO! -WHOO!
**
Jolene: COLTON GOT A REALLY GOOD DEAL ON THIS SUPERCHARGER,
BUT IF WE CAN'T GET IT TO WORK FOR THE DEADLINE,
THEN IT'S NOT REALLY A GOOD DEAL.
ALL RIGHT.
[ IGNITION CRANKING ]
[ BACKFIRING, SPUTTERING ]
SHE'S SHOOTING. WELL, SHE'S BACKFIRING.
WHAT'S THAT MEAN?
WELL, I GUESS THE TIMING IS NOT REALLY 100 PERCENT ON,
AND I GOT THAT LINED UP.
IF WE JUST HAD A CARBURETOR ON IT,
HAD IT DONE, GUY WOULD HAVE BEEN HAPPY.
WE'D HAVE BEEN HAPPY, BUT NO.
HERE WE'VE GOT THIS SUPERCHARGER ON,
AND THE CAR'S NOT RUNNING.
YOU THINK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHY DID WE EVEN BUY THAT?
[ IGNITION CRANKING ]
YEAH. I JUST HEARD SOMETHING
JUST A LITTLE FUNKY WITH THAT SUPERCHARGER.
OH, GOOD.
IT ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE THE GASKET ON THE SUPERCHARGER, BUT --
-LEAKING? -YEP.
DAMN IT, WHY DID WE EVEN BOTHER WITH THAT YOUNG GUN WANTING TO,
YOU KNOW, PUT SOMETHING ON IT? LET HIM HAVE HIS WAY.
NO.
YOU CAN SEE THAT GASKET THERE IS ALL WET AND SHINY.
YEP.
SO IT'S LEAKING.
IT'S FUEL.
THIS ENGINE WAS THE BOMB BEFORE WE STARTED IT.
IT'S KIND OF GOING TO COME ON COLTON'S SHOULDERS
IF IT DOESN'T WORK OUT.
**
SO IT'S JUST A MATTER OF MAKING THE GASKET.
YEAH. IT'S ACTUALLY A SAFETY THING.
WHAT WOULD WE RATHER BLOW, THE GASKET OR THE SUPERCHARGER?
PROBABLY THE GASKET.
GASKET. WEAKEST POINT.
THAT GASKET'S NO GOOD ANYWAYS.
IT'S ALL WET, SOAKED, EVEN ALL THROUGH THERE.
SO WE WERE LEAKING ANYWAY, SO YOU KNOW WHAT?
IT'S PROBABLY A GOOD THING IT DID
BECAUSE THAT COULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR ISSUE DOWN THE ROAD.
-IT'S A BLESSING IN DISGUISE. -YEAH.
**
LIKE, ON THE POSITIVE SIDE, ALEX WAS ABLE TO CATCH
SOMETHING BEFORE THE ENGINE BLEW UP, RIGHT?
SO IT COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT WORSE.
IF I CAN CUT THIS THING OUT NICE ENOUGH,
WE'LL WIND UP WITH A NICE NEW GASKET.
WE WEREN'T LOOKING AT A VERY GOOD-QUALITY PATTERN
TO START WITH, SO... CUT RIGHT THERE?
GOT TO MOVE THAT LITTLE POINTING FIGURE, HUH?
-YEAH. -[ WHOOSHES ]
DON'T WANT THAT NIPPED.
Colton: I HOPE THIS STARTS UP AND TAKES OFF DOWN THE ROAD
AND GIVES ALL THE POWER THAT SUPERCHARGERS SHOULD,
BUT RIGHT NOW, THERE'S A BIG CHANCE, TOO,
THAT WE MAY NOT GET THE CAR DOWN TO GUY.
WE'RE GOING TO TRY IT.
FLIP THE SWITCH, BOTH BUTTONS?
BOTH BUTTONS, YEP. WATCH YOUR LEGS, BABE.
WE'RE GOING TO START UP RIGHT THERE.
BOTH BUTTONS ON, YOU WANT ME TO TRY IT?
YEP.
[ IGNITION CRANKING ]
TRY IT.
[ IGNITION CRANKING ]
[ ENGINE STARTS, REVS ]
YAY!
WHOO, YEAH!
WOW!
[ ENGINE REVVING ]
[ REVVING CONTINUES ]
[ WHOOPING ]
[ CHEERING CONTINUES ]
WOW! YEAH!
[ REVVING CONTINUES ]
WHOO!
WHAT THE [BLEEP] IS GOING ON HERE, MAN?
-[ LAUGHTER ] -[BLEEP] YEAH.
-WHOO! -GOOD JOB.
OPEN UP THE [BLEEP] DAMN DOORS,
OR WE'RE GOING TO DIE!
[ LAUGHTER ]
-SORRY. I GOT EXCITED. -WHOO!
-COME ON. -I GOT AL WAS GOING CRAZY THERE.
-GUYS -- [ LAUGHTER ]
OH, I'M SO HAPPY. WHAT?
-OH... -[ LAUGHS ]
GOOD JOB ON THE SUPERCHARGER, BOY!
YEAH!
MY DAD IS PROUD OF ME, AND IT FEELS GOOD ON MY PART.
LIKE, I FEEL IT WAS A GOOD SETUP.
YEAH!
BRING THEM DOORS TOGETHER.
THAT IS [BLEEP] UNBELIEVABLE.
**
[ ENGINE ROARING ] WHOO-HOO-HOO!
**
[ ENGINE ROARING ]
**
[ EXCITED CHATTER ]
**
WE'RE GETTING THIS CAR THAT CHAD MADE FOR ME.
A LOT OF PEOPLE I KNOW ARE HERE.
A LOT OF KIDS ARE HERE TO HAVE A LOOK AT IT.
I'VE BEEN WAITING MYSELF, SO...
I THINK EVERYBODY KNOWS WHO CHAD HILTZ IS AROUND HERE.
HE MAKES SOME PRETTY SWEET VEHICLES, YEP.
-I'M EXCITED. -YEAH. I SEE THAT.
[BLEEP] COLD, BUT I'M EXCITED.
[ ENGINE STARTS ]
[ ENGINE REVVING ]
[ REVVING CONTINUES ]
NICE!
[ ENGINE RUMBLING ]
[ EXCITED CHATTER ]
[ ENGINE REVS ]
[ ENGINE STOPS, CLICK ]
-IT'S PERFECT. -AMAZING!
Guy: MY FAVORITE FEATURE IS THE BLOWER.
I CAN SEE THE EXHAUST PIPES, AND IT'S LOUD.
THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX JUST FITS RIGHT INTO CHAD.
-WOW! -HOLY...
EVERYBODY'S MAKING COMMENTS, "WHERE'S THE WHEELS COME FROM?
"WHERE'S THE TAILLIGHTS COME FROM?
WHERE DID THEY GET THE FINS? WHERE DID THE BUBBLE COME FROM?"
Guy: I WOULDN'T GO TO A DEALERSHIP AND BUY A CAR WITH A BUBBLE,
BUT THEN AGAIN, THEY'RE MISSING OUT IF THEY DON'T HAVE
A [BLEEP] BUBBLE, SO WE GOT IT.
I CAN'T WAIT TO TRY IT. [ LAUGHS ]
I TOLD HIM, "I WANT A CAR THAT ALL THE KIDS WOULD LIKE."
-DO YOU THINK HE DID IT? -Children: YEAH!
-HUH? -YEAH!
IT'S TIME TO MELT THE TIRES OFF THE [BLEEP] DAMN THING.
**
[ ENGINE REVVING ] THREE, TWO, ONE...
[ ENGINE ROARING ]
[ TIRES SCREECH ]
YEAH!
[ LAUGHTER ]
WHOO! [ CHEERING ]
IT TOOK, LIKE, RIGHT OFF, LIKE A ROCKET, DIDN'T IT?
I HOPE HE COMES BACK. [ LAUGHTER ]
[ TIRES SCREECHING ]
TAKES A LOT TO GET MY HANDS SHAKING,
AND THAT DID IT, SO YEAH.
WE'RE HAPPY!
I LOVE IT. I LOVE IT. IT'S COOL.
I KNOW I'LL SELL TICKETS TO THAT.
WE HAD A BIG DEADLINE TO MAKE, AND THERE'S A LOT OF KIDS HERE.
YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO DELIVER, AND WE DID.
AND WE DELIVERED BIG. YEAH.
WE DELIVERED BIG.
**
[ SERENE MUSIC PLAYING ]
I WONDER IF WE'LL FIT IN. [ LAUGHS ]
Jolene: A CHARITY CALLED JAKE'S HOUSE
WANT US TO BUILD A PRIZE CAR FOR A FUND-RAISER COMING UP.
THAT'S BEAUTIFUL.
YOU GOT TO HAVE A CAR THAT'S OVER THE TOP.
I'M USING THE SHOWER ROD FOR THE DOOR.
-YEAH! -THAT LOOKS LIKE A HEMI, BOY.
THAT'S WHAT SHE IS.
[ REVVING ]
YOU GET DONE DRIVING THIS BAD BOY,
YOU MIGHT HAVE TO CHANGE YOUR SHORTS.
[ CHEERING ]
I DON'T KNOW WHO'S GOING TO GET THAT HOLE IN ONE,
BUT THIS IS AN AMAZING PRIZE.
I CAN TASTE IT.
-[ GROANS ] -Woman: OH!
