I'VE FAILED ALL MY LIFE, YOU KNOW?
I KNOW WHAT I KNOW THROUGH EXPERIENCE.
NO ONE TAUGHT ME ANY OF IT.
THIS IS THE BUSIEST SEASON THAT WE'VE EVER HAD,
AND SOMETIMES IT'S BEEN HARD TO KEEP UP.
I GOT TO WALK AWAY FROM THAT.
WHEN YOUR BACK IS UP AGAINST THE WALL,
THAT'S WHEN YOU'RE INSPIRED.
WHEN YOU'RE DOWN, THAT'S WHEN YOU FIND OUT WHO YOU ARE.
I DON'T HAVE A BIG NAME AT ALL.
WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFETIME HERE.
WE'RE GOING TO TAKE ON OUR MOST IMPORTANT BUILD YET.

BIGGER OPPORTUNITIES ACROSS THIS BRIDGE.
GOING FORWARD.
JOLENE AND I ARE HEADING UP TO FOX HARBOUR.
IT'S A PLACE WHERE SHE USED TO WORK AT ONE TIME.
IT'S A RESORT FOR GOLF.
JOLENE HAS SET UP A MEETING TO BUILD A CAR FOR SOMEBODY.
I WONDER IF WE'LL FIT IN.
I THINK THE CAR WILL.
I GOT A CALL FROM A CHARITY CALLED JAKE'S HOUSE.
THEY'VE HEARD ABOUT OUR WORK, AND THEY WANT US TO BUILD
A PRIZE CAR FOR A FUND-RAISER THEY HAVE COMING UP.
IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO EXPOSE OUR WORK
TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE MEANS TO BUY A CUSTOM CAR.
HERE WE ARE, BABY.
-HI. -HI!
-HELLO! -HOW ARE YOU?
GOOD. HOW ARE YOU?
GOOD, QUITE THE RIDE YOU HAVE THERE.
-YEAH. -I KNOW, RIGHT?
-DID YOU MAKE THAT? -I DID SO.
OH, WOW. THAT'S INCREDIBLE.
MY NAME IS JAMES BODANIS.
I'M THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
FOR JAKE'S HOUSE FOR CHILDREN WITH AUTISM.
JAKE'S HOUSE WAS A CHARITY THAT WAS FOUNDED IN 2004.
I HAVE TWO YOUNGER BROTHERS THAT ARE AFFECTED BY AUTISM,
SO IT'S A CAUSE THAT'S VERY CLOSE TO MY HEART.
THE CHARITY WAS STARTED AS A WAY FOR MY PARENTS
TO TRY TO GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY OF FAMILIES
THAT ARE AFFECTED BY AUTISM.
WE'VE ACTUALLY SEEN A LOT OF YOUR VIDEOS ONLINE,
AND WE SAW THAT YOU GUYS HAD A CAR
AT ATLANTIC NATIONALS RECENTLY.
-AWESOME. -YEAH.
SO IT HAS WORKED, YOU KNOW?
-YEAH. -OUR HARD WORK HAS PAID OFF.
YEAH. GOING PLACES AND --
-YEAH. -YEAH. -OKAY. COOL.
SO WE'RE PUTTING TOGETHER A CHARITY GOLF TOURNAMENT
HERE AT FOX HARBOUR SO THAT WE CAN RAISE MONEY
TO SUPPORT ALL THE FAMILY AND CHILDREN THAT NEED HELP.
James: WE'RE HOPING TO BUILD A CAR FOR JAKE'S HOUSE
AND HAVE A HOLE-IN-ONE COMPETITION TO SEE
IF SOMEONE COULD WIN THAT CAR.
SO IS THE IDEA THAT THE LEADERS COMING WILL PAY SO MUCH
TO HAVE A CHANCE TO PLAY AT THE HOLE-IN-ONE CAR,
AND, LIKE, THAT WILL RAISE MORE MONEY?
-YEAH. EXACTLY. -I LOVE THAT IDEA.
IF I CAN BUILD A CAR AND HELP, LIKE,
I MEAN, THAT'S, LIKE, YOU KNOW, A DOUBLE SLAP ON THE HAND.
YEAH, YEAH, LET'S DO IT. -YEAH, OF COURSE, YEAH.
WELL, I'LL BUILD THE BEST CAR I CAN.
I PROMISE.
IT'S KIND OF A NICE THING THAT I CAN TAKE MY CRAFT
AND HELP PEOPLE.
YOU GUYS HAVE ANYTHING IN MIND FOR A CAR
THAT YOU WOULD BE INTERESTED AND WHAT STYLE YOU LIKE?
I THINK, JUST SEEING WHAT YOU DROVE UP IN --
-YEAH. -I THINK WE'RE GOING TO LEAVE
THAT MAYBE UP TO YOU
BECAUSE YOU SEEM TO HAVE THE CREATIVE PART.
-CREATIVITY IS IN YOUR HANDS. -WOW.
**
I MEAN, THIS IS AWESOME.
THIS GOLF COURSE IS AMAZING,
AND THE ONLY THING I'VE EVER SEEN LIKE THIS IS ON TV.
-SO THIS IS IT. -AWESOME.
-THIS IS... -PERFECT.
...WHERE WE WOULD DO IT.
TO GO SOMEWHERE AND SEE SOMETHING SO MANICURED,
YOU HAVE TO BE SOMEWHAT UP IN LIFE TO BE THERE.
THAT'S NOT WHERE I HANG OUT. [ CHUCKLES ]
I HANG OUT IN THE GARAGE, YOU KNOW?
I GOT A LOT OF PROBLEMS, AND MONEY IS ONE OF THEM.
YEAH, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BUILD QUITE A CAR, BABY!
I KNOW!
I HAVEN'T GOT A DESIGN IN MY BRAIN,
BUT I KNOW THAT, TO ME, YOU GOT TO HAVE A CAR
THAT'S OVER-THE-TOP ON THIS PLAYGROUND, YOU KNOW?
THAT'S WHAT I'M THINKING.
WE CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT YOU COME UP WITH.
-I KNOW. -ME TOO!
**
Chad: I REALLY WANT TO START WITH THE RIGHT CAR ON THIS.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR,
BUT WHATEVER THE CAR IS,
I WANT IT TO HAVE A PRETTY FACE.
YEAH, LIKE, IT SHOULD FIT IN, LIKE,
WITH A PEBBLE BEACH KIND OF FEEL.
IT SHOULD. WE'RE ON THE GOLF COURSE.
-YEAH. -I KNOW. I KNOW.
Jolene: A DONOR IS PUTTING UP $30,000,
SO THAT'S THE BUDGET FOR THIS BUILD.
WE'RE NOT REALLY LOOKING FOR A PROFIT.
WE'RE MORE OR LESS JUST TRYING TO BREAK EVEN
AND EXPOSE OURSELVES TO THE RIGHT PEOPLE.
-YO. -WHAT'S GOING ON, BROTHER?
-HEY, MAN. -HEY.
WHAT ARE YOU GUYS UP TO?
WE'RE DOING A CHARITY CAR, AND...
-WONDERFUL. -...WE'RE GOING TO BE AT FOX HARBOUR,
AND IT'S KIND OF A BIG DEAL FOR ME,
AND WE'RE JUST KIND OF RUNNING AROUND AND LOOKING.
LET'S SEE WHAT YOU GOT.
WE'RE LOOKING FOR A FRONT END, LIKE, A PRETTY FACE.
OH, A PRETTY FACE.
WELL, WHAT DO YOU GOT HERE?
-THAT THERE IS A 1931 ESSEX. -WOW.
WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF REPEAT CLIENTS
BECAUSE THEY'RE ONE-OFF BUILDS.
THIS IS NOT REALLY WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR.
WHAT'S THIS ONE?
1931 MODEL A.
THIS CAR IS GOING TO REPRESENT
OUR SHOP KIND OF LIKE A BUSINESS CARD
THAT WE'RE HANDING THESE POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS.
OH, I DON'T THINK ANYTHING HERE IS GOING TO WORK.
WELL, WE GOT TO KEEP LOOKING. THANKS.
GOOD LUCK.
THAT'S THE ORIGINAL PAINT ON IT, IS IT NOT?
I DON'T KNOW. NO, I --
I'D SAY IT PROBABLY IS, PAL.
Jolene: THE CLIENTELE THAT'S GOING TO BE SWINGING
IS PEOPLE THAT COULD EASILY BUY ONE OF THESE CARS
IF THEY WANTED TO.
Chad: I DON'T SEE ANYTHING HERE THAT'S IN MY CATEGORY.
[ ENGINE REVS ]
TODAY, I'VE GOT A LITTLE INFORMATION
THAT GRANT LEWIS HAS A CAR,
AND IT'S A '35 HUPMOBILE, SO I'M QUITE EXCITED
BECAUSE JOLENE HAS SHOWED ME ON THE COMPUTER
WHAT A '35 HUPMOBILE LOOKS LIKE, AND THAT FRONT END IS SWEET.
KNOCK, KNOCK! HEY, GRANT.
-HEY. -HEY. -WHAT ARE YOU DOING, MAN?
OH, TRYING TO FIX UP AN OLD PIECE OF JUNK.
GRANT, THIS IS JOLENE.
-HI. -HI. -I'VE ASKED HER TO MARRY ME.
THINK ABOUT IT, RIGHT?
-"THINK ABOUT IT"? -IT WOULDN'T HURT.
-WELL, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, A BIT. -SHE SAID YES!
DON'T GET HER TO CHANGE HER MIND!
I KNOW GRANT VERY WELL.
HE'S A TEASER, YOU KNOW, KIND OF A HARD KNOT, YOU KNOW.
HE'D RUN YOU OVER THE COALS FOR A SECOND, THEN MAKE YOU SWEAT.
WHAT DO YOU THINK? -SHE MAKES YOU LOOK GOOD.
THAT'S RIGHT! I KNOW.
-I'LL KEEP HIM YOUNG. -I KNOW.
I'VE KNOWN CHAD SINCE HE WAS, I SUPPOSE, 15 OR 16.
CHAD IS KIND OF A REBEL, BUT EVEN WHEN HE WAS A KID,
HE COULD DO GOOD WORK.
I MEAN, HE JUST HAD A FLAIR FOR IT.
GRANT, I HEARD YOU HAD A HUPMOBILE.
I DO SO, '35 HUPMOBILE.
I'D LOVE TO GET RID OF IT. -WOULD YOU?
I JUST WONDER IF WE COULD GO TAKE A LOOK AT IT.
-YOU SURE CAN. -OKAY, MAN. THANKS.
HUPMOBILES STARTED IN 1908 MAKING SMALL LIGHTWEIGHT,
LOW-COST CARS.
LIKE A LOT OF SMALLER COMPANIES,
IT WENT OUT OF BUSINESS DURING THE DEPRESSION.
-WOW. -THAT IS GOOD-LOOKING, EH?
-I LOVE IT. -I LIKE THAT.
-WOW. -THE FRONT END IS...
THAT IS THE BEST-LOOKING PART OF THE CAR.
-OH, MAN. THAT'S BEAUTIFUL. -AND IT'S GOOD, GOOD.
LOOK HOW WIDE THAT SUCKER IS IN THE FRONT, WOULD YOU?
I LIKE THIS. I NEVER SEEN A CAR IN THE '30s
WITH THE HEADLIGHTS IN THE GRILL.
THAT AREN'T ON THE FENDER, YEAH.
YEAH. THEY AREN'T ON THE FENDER.
-IT'S DIFFERENT. -THEY'RE BUILT-IN.
WHERE WOULD YOU FIND A FENDER BUILT LIKE,
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, ALL THAT?
-YEAH. -YOU KNOW?
MOST OF THEM, YOU JUST BOLT THEM ON THE SIDE OF THE CAR,
AND THAT'S IT.
EVEN THE HOOD, LIKE, COMES DOWN OVER THE HEADLIGHTS LIKE THAT.
IT'S JUST SOMETHING ELSE. YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?
IT'S JUST SOMETHING ELSE.
I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANOTHER ONE THAT LOOKS LIKE IT,
AND IT'S ELEGANCE ALL OVER.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE FOR IT, GRANT?
DO YOU HAVE AN IDEA WHAT WOULD MAKE YOU HAPPY?
LIKE...
$4,000, I THINK.
THAT'S PROBABLY ABOUT WHAT I GOT IN IT.
FOUR GRAND IS A LOT OF MONEY TO START WITH.
I USUALLY DON'T LIKE TO START THAT HIGH,
BUT WHEN WE GO TO THIS GOLF COURSE,
I WANT TO BUILD A CAR THAT NO ONE HAS EVER SEEN BEFORE,
SOMETHING THAT THEY CAN'T BUY, THEY CAN'T REACH.
YOU'RE PROBABLY NOT GOING TO FIND ANOTHER ONE.
NO, PROBABLY NOT.
TAKE $3,500?
-FROM YOU, YEAH. -YAY!
-THANK YOU, MAN. -IT'S YOURS.
FOR THE STARTING POINT OF THIS BUILD,
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WANT.
YOU HAVE TO PAY UP FOR SOME THINGS.
WHAT A PRETTY FACE. -I KNOW.
WE FOUND IT. -RIGHT?
I HAVE AN IDEA ON WHAT I'M GOING TO DO ALREADY.
Jolene: YEAH?
I'M GOING TO PUT A DUVALL WINDSHIELD.
I'M GOING TO CUT THIS ROOF OFF,
PROBABLY GOING TO GET RID OF ALL OF THE BACK.
I GOT BIG PLANS, BABY.
I'M GOING TO HAVE TO EXTEND THAT BACK, THAT COWL BACK
ABOUT THAT FAR.
SO WHAT YOU'RE TELLING ME IS...
IS THAT I'M GOING TO CUT IT ALL...
...YOU'RE GOING TO BE WORKING DAY AND NIGHT.
GOING TO HAVE TO, GOING TO HAVE TO.
YEP.
IT'S PROBABLY THE BEST STARTING POINT THAT YOU'VE EVER HAD.
PROBABLY IS.
I NORMALLY DON'T GET EXCITED TO SPEND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? THIS ONE, I'M EXCITED ABOUT.
IT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR.
THERE'S HIGH STAKES ON THIS BUILD.
IT HAS TO BE ABOVE AND BEYOND.
Chad: HEY, YOU GUYS.
DO YOU WANT TO COME OVER FOR A MINUTE?
THE HUPMOBILE IS HERE.
THIS IS PROBABLY THE BIGGEST BUILD THAT WE'VE HAD TO DATE.
THIS IS GOING TO BE SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO BE
FOR KINGS AND QUEENS.
THE AUBURNS AND THE DELAHAYES AND THE DUESENBERGS,
THEY'RE THE BIGGEST CARS THAT EVER WERE BUILT
BACK IN THE DAY, YOU KNOW?
THEY WERE ALL BUILT BY HAND.
WE'RE JUST TRYING TO DO THE SAME THING
MAYBE JUST A LITTLE QUICKER AND A LITTLE DIFFERENT, YOU KNOW?
THAT'S ALL.
THIS FRONT END, I REALLY LIKE.
I LIKE THE GRILLE. I LIKE THE FENDERS.
BUT THE BACK END IS NOT THE WAY I WANT TO PUT IT.
WE'RE GOING TO CUT THIS ALL OFF.
THEN WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ALL THIS TO MAKE.
HMM.
WE'RE GOING FOR AN ELEGANT LOOK,
SO WE'RE GOING TO STRETCH THE COWL
ABOUT A FOOT AND A HALF.
THEN WE'RE GOING TO LENGTHEN THE FENDERS TO MATCH
AND MAKE IT LOOK REAL CLASSY.
WE'RE GOING TO RESHAPE THE REAR SO IT'S SMALLER AND ROUND.
THIS CAR IS NOT GOING TO HAVE ANY DOORS.
IT'S GOING TO BE A HOP-IN.
THEN WE'RE GOING TO PUT A DUVALL WINDSHIELD ON IT
TO GIVE IT THAT SPEEDSTER FEEL.
AND WE'VE GOT 5 WEEKS.
YOU KNOW, IT'S GOING TO BE A SPORTS CAR OF THE DAY.
WHAT ARE WE DOING FOR AN ENGINE?
I WOULD LIKE TO PUT SOMETHING NOSTALGIC IN IT.
COLTON, THIS IS A TASK FOR YOU.
I WANT YOU TO FIND US THE PERFECT ENGINE.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO SAY.
IT'S KIND OF MIND-BLOWING, THE CHANCE THAT WE'VE GOT.
THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT RIGHT THERE --
BUILDING CARS, SHOWING PEOPLE WHAT YOU CAN DO,
AND PICKING UP BUILDS.
LET'S FACE IT.
WHEN ELSE WOULD YOU GET THIS OPPORTUNITY
TO SHOW THE WORLD WHAT WE CAN DO?
THIS IS A BIG POINT IN MY LIFE. YEAH.
LET'S WORK REALLY HARD TO GET THIS THING DONE.
THIS CAR IS A REALLY BEAUTIFUL CAR.
JUST COME ON IN HERE, AND I'LL PUT THE THING IN HERE.
BUT WHAT I REALLY WANT IS THAT BEAUTIFUL FRONT END.
WE WANT PURE GLAMOUR AND PRECISION ON THIS CAR.
BEAUTIFUL.
LET'S PULL HER APART, SEE WHAT WE GOT.
THIS IS KIND OF A TREASURE HUNT RIGHT HERE.
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO FIND?
WHAT HAS GRANT LEFT FOR US?
IT AIN'T TOO BAD THERE.
YOU WANT TO PUT IT ON THICK.
OH, I SEE.
JUST KIND OF LAY IT ON LIKE THIS.
IT'S NOT PAINT. IT'S PAINT STRIPPER.
-OKAY. -SEE THAT?
ALL UNDER CONTROL.
HE'S NOT UNDER CONTROL.
I SHOWED HIM ONCE HOW TO DO IT,
BUT HE DOESN'T WANT TO LISTEN TO ME.
I GET THINGS DONE.
KEEP IT THICK, AND KEEP IT WET.
THIS IS CAR NUMBER FIVE THAT I STRIPPED,
BUT I'M USUALLY SWEATING, EATING RUST, SO...
Chad: I'VE SEEN COLTON GROW SO MUCH.
I'M GOING TO PUT COLTON TO THE TEST ON THIS CAR,
AND WE'LL SEE HOW HE MAKES OUT.
IF YOU GUYS COULD GET THE FRONT END STRIPPED TONIGHT,
THAT WOULD MAKE ME VERY, VERY, VERY HAPPY.
I'M GOING TO HAVE THE [BLEEP] FRONT END STRIPPED BY 7:00.
AWESOME! I LOVE IT.
-IT'S 6:45 RIGHT NOW, BOYS. -COME ON, GARRETT!
WE GOT 15 [BLEEP] MINUTES. -COME ON, NOW.
PUT THE STRIPPER TO WORK.
DO I TRUST COLTON?
I TRUST HIM IF HE SAYS HE'S GOING TO DO SOMETHING,
BUT I DO NOT TRUST IN HIS SKILLS.
HE HASN'T PROVEN THAT YET. DON'T GET ME WRONG.
HE'S A GOOD WORKER, BUT HE'S GOT TO PROVE TO ME
THAT HE'S HERE IN BRAIN AND HANDS.
THAT'S WHAT HE'S GOT TO PROVE TO ME,
AND WHEN YOU'RE NOT HERE IN ONE OF THEM,
IT MAKES ME UGLY BECAUSE THIS IS THE PLACE OF WORK,
AND THIS IS WHERE WE'RE GETTING THINGS DONE.
WE CAN CUT THE ROOF OFF OF THIS TONIGHT
NO PROBLEM IF WE GET THE BODY DISCONNECTED, I GUESS.
WE'LL JUST CUT IT OFF HERE FOR NOW AND CUT IT OFF HERE.
WE SLIDE THE BACK OFF.
-IT'S GONE. -AND THEN IT'S GONE TONIGHT.
WE'RE DONE.
**
WELL, THAT SETTLES IT.
[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATION ]
ALL RIGHT. OPEN UP THE DOORS.
SHE'S COMING OUT.
-WHOA, THAT'S GOOD. -STICK TO ONE SIDE.
WATCH THE TOP OF THE DOOR NOW.
WE DON'T WANT TO DENT ANYTHING THAT WE GOT
BECAUSE I MIGHT USE THIS.
HOLY [BLEEP], BOYS! WE'RE HALFWAY DONE!
LET GO AHEAD AND SEE WHAT WE'VE GOT.
THAT'S BEAUTIFUL-LOOKING SHEET METAL,
BEAUTIFUL-LOOKING SHEET METAL, BEAUTIFUL-LOOKING SHEET METAL.
I LOVE THAT.
WELL, I'M USING THE SHOWER ROD FOR THE INTAKE OF THE DOOR.
THAT'S A MANDREL-BENT CORNER. I'D NEVER GET THAT CORNER.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
-I WANT THAT CAR. -THIS IS A DAMN GOOD PRIZE.
Aaron: COLTON AND I ARE GOING TO HEAD OVER TO A FRIEND OF MINE
GREG'S PLACE.
OUR MISSION IS TO FIND A MOTOR FOR THE HUPMOBILE.
I DEFINITELY WANT TO MAKE MY DAD
PROUD ABOUT MAKING A GOOD INVESTMENT.
HELLO. HOW YOU DOING, GUYS?
I'VE BEEN RESTORING CARS AND WORKING ON FARM EQUIPMENT
IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD FOR THE LAST 40-ODD YEARS.
AARON USED TO WORK IN THIS SHOP.
-HOW YOU DOING, GREG. -THIS IS COLTON.
-COLTON, HOW YOU DOING? -YEAH. GOOD.
ON THE LAST CAR, DAD TOLD ME TO KIND OF FIGURE OUT
HOW TO MAKE IT A LITTLE FASTER.
WITH THE 302 AND THE SUPERCHARGER,
THERE WAS A COUPLE BUMPS IN THE ROAD
THAT ENDED UP IN A LITTLE MORE WORK.
Jolene: IT'S KIND OF GOING TO COME ON COLTON'S SHOULDERS
IF IT DOESN'T WORK OUT.
Colton: WITH THIS BUILD, I'D KIND OF LIKE TO FIND THE PERFECT ENGINE,
AND I'D LIKE TO SHOW THE OLD MAN THAT I CAN --
THAT I'VE LEARNED FROM MY EXPERIENCES WITH THINGS.
Greg: THERE'S THE JAG ENGINE.
ITS A 3.5-LITER ENGINE.
IT'S JUST A DOUBLE OVERHEAD CAM SIX-CYLINDER,
FOUR-SPEED ELECTRICAL, OVERDRIVE TRANSMISSION.
RIGHT ON.
I'VE BEEN SAVING IT FOR YEARS FOR A PROJECT,
BUT I HAVEN'T USED IT IN ANYTHING YET.
IT'S A PRETTY LITTLE MOTOR. IT RUNS REAL SWEET.
-WHAT'S THIS HERE GOING FOR? -I DON'T KNOW.
I'D PROBABLY GET 1,200 OR 1,400 BUCKS OUT OF THAT.
RIGHT ON.
Colton: I'M NOT A BIG JAGUAR EXPERT.
LIKE, IT'S GOT A FUNNY SHAPE TO IT.
IT'S A COOL MOTOR, BUT WE'RE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING BIGGER.
LIKE, WE GOT ALL KINDS OF ROOM UNDER THE COWL OF THAT CAR,
THAT WE WANT SOMETHING TO FILL THAT UP.
IT'S NOT GOING TO CUT IT.
WELL, THANKS ANYWAY.
I'M GOING TO KEEP LOOKING.
Chad: THE FRONT END OF THE CAR GIVES ME EVERYTHING I WANT.
IT'S ELEGANCE ALL OVER, AND THIS BEAUTIFUL FACE
IS JUST GOING TO BE AT THE FRONT OF IT.
WE'RE GOING TO MAKE THE REST OF IT.
THE FIRST THING I'M GOING TO DO IS EXTEND THE COWL.
THEY'RE GOING TO BE DRIVING SOMETHING ELSE, MAN.
[BLEEP] IS GOING TO BE WAY UP THERE, ALL THE HORSES.
GIDDYAP, GIRL. GO!
I'M GOING TO EXTEND THE COWL ON IT
TO PULL WHERE THE SEATING AREA IS BACK BY THE BACK WHEELS,
SO WE CAN GET THAT ENGINE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CAR.
WE WANT TO GIVE IT THAT RACE FEEL.
I'M JUST WIRING THIS COWL UP WITH 3/16 ROUND ROD
TRYING TO GET A FRAMEWORK
THAT I CAN WELD ALL MY SHEET METAL TO,
AND WE'RE GOING TO EXTEND THAT COWL THAT FAR.
FUNNY, EH? -CRAZY.
THAT'S QUITE A LONG WAYS TO HAVE A COWL,
SO YOU CAN IMAGINE GOING TO TOWN IN THAT BAD BOY.
YOU'D BE SAYING, "WOW, LOOK AT THE COWL ON THAT!"
AS THEY SAY BACK IN THE DAY, "LONGER THE HOOD, THE MORE..."
-"STATUS." -THE MORE STATURE THE PERSON HAD.
THE LONGER THEIR HOOD, THE LONGER THE CAR, LONGER...
THE BIGGER THE ENGINE, THE MORE HORSES YOU HAD.
YOU KNOW, YOU RODE INTO TOWN WITH ONE HORSE,
"HOW YOU DOING, SIR?"
YOU RODE INTO TOWN WITH SIX HORSES,
"HOW YOU DOING, SIR?"
I'M NOT GOING TO PUT A CHEVETTE ON THE END OF THAT GOLF COURSE.
I WANT TO PUT A...
CHAD-MOBILE.
THIS CAR IS NOT GOING TO HAVE ANY DOORS.
IT'S GOING TO BE A HOP-IN,
SO I NEED SOMETHING TO SHAPE THE ENTRY ON BOTH SIDES.
-COLTON? -CHAD?
THERE'S A CHROME PIECE OUT THERE IN THE JUNK PILE.
IT LOOKS LIKE, I DON'T KNOW, A COAT HANGER THING, OR...
BABY, WHAT'S THAT THING, A COAT HANGER?
Jolene: IT'S A SHOWER THING, ISN'T IT?
IT'S A SHOWER ROD.
I WANT TO SEE WHAT THAT SHOWER ROD --
I MIGHT MAKE THIS OUT OF THAT SHOWER ROD.
I'VE HAD THIS SHOWER ROD. IT'S BEEN OUT THERE FOR A WHILE.
WE WERE HANGING T-SHIRTS ON IT FOR A BIT,
AND THEN I JUST SAID, "WE'LL JUST KEEP IT
BECAUSE IT GOT SOME NICE BENDS IN IT, YOU KNOW?"
Colton: I THINK THAT MIGHT BE IT.
WE'RE GOING TO TAKE IT AND FIND OUT.
THAT'S A MANDREL-BENT CORNER.
I'D NEVER GET THAT CORNER.
WE CUT IT, CUT IT, CUT IT, CUT IT AND TRIED --
THE MANDREL-BEND IS WHEN YOU BEND THE METAL
AND YOU MAKE NO KINKS -- YOU STRETCH IT AND BEND IT.
WHEN YOU BEND IT THE OTHER WAY,
SOMETIMES THEY DON'T STAY IN SHAPE.
THEY KIND OF KINK WHEN YOU DO ALL THAT STUFF.
THE MANDREL BEND COSTS LOTS OF MONEY,
BUT ON THIS SHOWER CURTAIN ROD,
THE MANDREL BEND WAS ALREADY BENT.
THAT WOULD BE NICE FOR THIS PART UP HERE.
WOULD IT NOT? -YEAH.
I'M USING THE SHOWER ROD FOR THE INTAKE OF THE DOOR,
THE RADIUS OF THE DOOR BEND. IT'S PERFECT.
ALL I HAD TO DO IS CUT IT OUT OF THERE.
[ ANGLE GRINDER WHIRRING ]
YEAH!
THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU'RE BUILDING STUFF.
THAT'S RECYCLE, REUSE RIGHT THERE.
IF YOU NEED THAT SHAPE, AND IF YOU DON'T THINK
YOU CAN MAKE IT IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME,
WELL, THERE MUST BE A SHAPE OUT THERE THAT CAN TAKE ITS PLACE.
THAT MAKES ME HAPPY RIGHT THERE.
-YEAH. IT'S SO COOL. -THAT MAKES ME HAPPY.
JUST LIKE THAT -- BOOM. -LOVE IT!
WHO'S YOUR DADDY?
I GOT BOTH THESE THE SAME SIZE, AND I'M GOING TO TACK THEM ON,
START MAKING THE BACK PIECES, TACK THEM ON
BECAUSE I CAN'T DO ANYTHING IF I DON'T VISUALIZE IT.
SEE HOW I'M GETTING A LITTLE BEND ON IT?
MM-HMM.
**
WE SHOULD TACK IT OVER HERE FIRST, SHOULDN'T WE?
THAT'S WHAT WE CALL THE RECONFIGURED SHOWER-CURTAIN ROD.
FOOM, RIGHT NEAR TO OUR BUM, HERE'S OUR REAR END.
LISTEN, LISTEN, WE'RE GOING TO THE MOON, ALICE.
LOVE IT, LOVE IT.
**
Colton: WELL, WE'RE HERE AT WENDELL'S RIGHT NOW.
OLD CHAD-O... -YEAH?
...SENT US OVER FOR A MOTOR.
THIS CAR IS GOING TO BE OVER-THE-TOP,
SO WE WANT WHAT IT HAS UNDER THE HOOD
TO BE OVER-THE-TOP, TOO. THIS IS AARON RAND.
-HOW YOU DOING? -OH, NOT BAD.
GOOD. GOOD TO SEE YOU.
I'M WENDELL HUNTLEY. THIS HERE IS A FARM.
IT'S, LIKE, A FOUR-GENERATION FARM.
ME AND CHAD PROBABLY LIVED PROBABLY 10 MILES APART
FROM ONE ANOTHER ALL OUR LIFE.
WHAT KIND OF MOTOR YOU LOOKING FOR?
WELL, WE DON'T WANT A FLATHEAD.
-NO. -SOMETHING MORE --
-WELL, THERE'S THE -- -WHAT'S THAT WORD, AARON?
PROBABLY WANTS SOMETHING UNIQUE, SOMETHING NOT EVERYBODY'S GOT.
I GOT ACTUALLY A WHOLE CAR OUT HERE.
-YEAH? -IT'S GOT A BIG-BLOCK 318 IN IT.
YOU A PIMP BACK IN YOUR DAY?
SOMETHING AN OLD PIMP WOULD DRIVE.
-NO. -ALL OF HIS HONEYS...
YEAH, BUT, NO, BUT JUST GO ON AHEAD.
ALL OF HIS HONEYS WOULD HOP IN THE BACK, AND...
THAT'D BE GOOD. IT'S A BIG-BLOCK.
OH, IT'S A 318.
-IT'S ONE OF THE OLD ONES. -OH, OKAY.
IT'S ALL THERE, AND IT DID RUN, BUT, LIKE,
I HAVEN'T HAD IT GOING FOR A LONG TIME.
THAT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING TO KEEP IN THE BACK OF OUR MIND.
THIS AIN'T THE ONLY ONE YOU'VE GOT HERE.
I KNOW IT AIN'T.
I'VE BEEN OUT WITH THE OLD MAN A FEW TIMES PICKING,
AND WHEN I'M LOOKING AROUND,
HE'S ALWAYS GIVING ME LITTLE HINTS ON HOW TO ACT --
"DON'T SHOW INTEREST IN THE FIRST THING YOU SEE."
-THAT'S RIGHT. -WELL, THE PRICE MIGHT BE RIGHT ON THAT.
I DON'T KNOW. -NO?
-YEAH, SO. -WELL...
EVEN IF IT'S NOT FOR THIS ONE, MAYBE THE NEXT ONE.
-YOU GOT LOTS OF MONEY, DON'T YOU? -I WOULDN'T SAY THAT.
-OH, YOU DON'T? -NO.
LOOK AT MY WARDROBE. -NO.
THAT'S WHERE YOU SAVED ALL YOUR MONEY.
NO. THIS IS HOW I GO OUT EVERYWHERES.
-OH. -A GOOD-LOOKING BOY LIKE ME DON'T NEED NICE CLOTHES.
I KNOW. YOU GOT MONEY.
NO. I DON'T GOT THAT EITHER, BOSS.
OH, YOU DON'T?
THIS IS RARE, THIS MOTOR.
IT'S ALL THERE, RIGHT, THE CLUTCH,
THE TRANSMISSION, THE CLUTCH PEDALS.
THAT'S, LIKE, A 1920 FOUR-CYLINDER.
-YEAH. -FOUR-CYLINDER, NO.
WE'RE OUT ON THE FOUR-CYLINDER. -YOU'RE OUT ON THE FOUR-CYLINDER?
WE WANT SOME POWER.
I COME HOME WITH THAT,
HE'D TURN ME AROUND BEFORE I PULLED IN THE DOORYARD.
HE MIGHT, MIGHT NOT THOUGH.
I GOT A MARINE ENGINE.
IT'S JUST A GAS MOTOR,
BUT IT'S GOT ALL THE MARINE PARTS ON IT.
WE'RE TRYING TO BUILD SOMETHING A LITTLE MORE SERIOUS.
WHAT ARE YOU BUILDING, LIKE...
WENDELL, BROTHER,
WHY YOU HOLDING OUT ON US?
WHAT DO YOU GOT OVER THERE, BROTHER?
I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING. YOU HOLDING OUT ON US?
-OH, THAT. -THIS AIN'T NO FLATHEAD.
WHAT DO WE GOT HERE? -IT'S A HEMI MOTOR, DODGE CHRYSLER.
DRUG IT HOME FROM AN OLD FARM
ABOUT PROBABLY 20 MILES FROM HERE.
WHAT YEAR IS THIS BAD BOY?
HOW BIG, LIKE -- WHAT ARE WE --
IT COME OUT OF A '64, '65.
Colton: I'M GOING TO DO A LITTLE BIT OF TALKING, YOU KNOW,
PULL A COUPLE TACTICS OUT,
MAYBE NOT SHOW ALL MY INTEREST UP FRONT RIGHT QUICK.
BY THE WAY IT'S RIGGED UP,
I WOULD SAY IT'S AN INDUSTRIAL PIECE, SOMETHING USEFUL.
THERE HERE IS. THIS AIN'T.
-SOMEBODY USED IT FOR -- -THIS IS CAR MOTOR, RIGHT?
SO IF IT WAS INDUSTRIAL, THAT MEANS THE MAINTENANCE
WAS MOST LIKELY KEPT UP.
OH, YEAH.
WE GOT ALL KINDS OF ROOM UNDER THE COWL OF THAT CAR
THAT WE WANT SOMETHING TO FILL THAT UP
AND SOMETHING THAT WILL SEND YOU UP THE ROAD AND PRETTY QUICK.
WHAT WOULD YOU WANT FOR THAT?
I WAS THINKING, LIKE, $2,500 MAYBE.
YOU GOT TO BE NICE TO ME, THOUGH.
-YEAH? -YOU CAN'T BE THAT WAY.
WHAT DO YOU THINK, AARON?
THIS IS THE TYPE OF ENGINE WE'RE AFTER RIGHT NOW,
BUT WE'RE DEFINITELY A LITTLE BIT LOWER ON THE BUDGET
THAN $2,500.
AND I BOUGHT IT BECAUSE IT'S RARE.
IT'S HARD TO FIND.
I THINK $1,600 AND YOU BRING IT TO US WOULD BE NOT TOO BAD.
I GOT ANOTHER LITTLE -- I GOT A LITTLE BODYWORK, TOO,
I GOT TO GET DONE, RIGHT?
COULD YOU DO ANYTHING LIKE THAT, $1,700 PLUS --
WHAT KIND OF BODYWORK?
-JUST ON A FENDER. -SURE. I COULD DO SOMETHING.
YOU'VE HAD THIS THING RUNNING?
YEAH. WELL, LAST SUMMER, RIGHT?
OR, YOU KNOW, WHEN I FIRST GOT IT.
YOU KNOW WHAT A HEMI COSTS TO REBUILD?
OH, YEAH.
I BET. GO $1,700?
WELL, I MEAN, IF IT DOESN'T RUN,
THEN IT'S BASICALLY A GIANT BOAT ANCHOR.
WELL, $1,700, I'LL DELIVER IT.
THAT'S NOT A BAD DEAL, MAN. WHAT DO YOU THINK, AARON?
I THINK --
I THINK THAT'S PROBABLY ALL RIGHT.
I THINK DAD MIGHT GIVE ME SUPPER TONIGHT.
YOU WANT TO DO THAT?
$1,700, YOU BRING IT OVER.
$1,700, I'LL DELIVER IT.
ALL RIGHT, MAN. THAT SOUNDS GOOD.
THIS IS A BIG MOMENT FOR ME TO STEP UP.
I GUESS WE'LL FIND OUT WHEN I GET BACK
IF IT WAS A STEP UP OR A STEP DOWN.
Chad: WE'RE BUILDING A CAR FOR A FUND-RAISER
AT A FANCY GOLF COURSE,
AND IT'S A BIG OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR SHOP
BECAUSE THIS IS PROBABLY GOING TO BE
OUR BIGGEST BUILD YET FOR A GOOD CAUSE.
WE NEED TO MAKE SURE IT'S PERFECT.
NOW THAT WE GOT THE RADIUS OF THE DOOR BEND,
WE CAN START MAKING THE QUARTER PANELS.
**
WE'RE JUST TRYING TO FABRICATE THE BODY.
THERE'S MORE WELDING ON THIS BODY
THAN MOST PEOPLE HAVE IN THE WHOLE RESTORATION.
THIS IS LEGIT.
THERE'S A LOT OF WELDING GOING ON.
YEAH.
**
[ LAUGHS ] WHAT'S THAT?
THAT LOOKS LIKE A HEMI, BOY. -THAT'S WHAT SHE IS.
RIGHT ON.
WENDELL HAD THAT DOWN THERE.
HAD IT SITTING IN THE CORNER, YEAH.
I'M REAL IMPRESSED WITH HIM FINDING THE HEMI BECAUSE,
YOU KNOW, THAT IS THE ULTIMATE ENGINE.
IF WE'RE GOING TO SHOW SOMETHING OFF, WE'LL SHOW A HEMI OFF.
IT MAKES -- IT TICKLES ANYBODY'S TOES.
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?
SO WE GOING TO PUT A PROPANE TANK IN THAT CAR?
WHY, IS SHE RUN BY PROPANE?
THAT'S PROPANE GEAR RIGHT THERE.
OH.
Alex: IT IS VERY POSSIBLE TO RUN A CAR OFF PROPANE,
BUT IN THIS CAR, IT'S NOT A REALLY GOOD IDEA.
BOYS, WE'RE GOING TO RUN HER ON PROPANE!
MAY AS WELL.
PROPANE IS AN EXPLOSIVE GAS.
YOU HIT A GAS TANK IN THE CAR, IT'D PROBABLY LEAK OUT,
BUT IF YOU HIT A PROPANE TANK, IT WILL EXPLODE,
SO THAT'S SOMETHING WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO SWITCH.
WENDELL'S PLACE A PRETTY GOOD SPOT?
I DON'T THINK HE WANTED US TO SEE THAT.
COLTON'S KIND OF WANDERED OFF.
I'M NOT BAD AT DOING THAT.
OLD SNEAKY PETE WENT AROUND THE CORNER AND FOUND IT, DID YOU?
-YES, HE DID. -YEAH.
TONY TOOK-A-LOOK.
I NEVER HEARD OF THAT BEFORE. -TONY TOOK-A-LOOK.
SO WENDELL GET YOU, DID HE,
OR DID YOU GET THE BEST OF HIM, OR WHAT?
-I THINK WE GOT HIM, DIDN'T WE? -YEAH.
WELL, HE STARTED OUT AT WHAT?
-$2,500. -THAT'S A GOOD PRICE FOR IT.
WE PAID $1,700 FOR IT.
-WOW. -AND HE BROUGHT IT HERE, SO.
WOW.
I STILL GOT TO DO BODY FOR HIM, THOUGH.
OH. [ LAUGHS ]
TRADED IN A LITTLE LABOR ON THAT ONE.
YOU GOT YOURSELF ALL MESSED UP THERE, HAVE YOU?
HUH?
THAT'S AWESOME.
-HOPEFULLY IT WAS A SCORE. -THAT'S WHAT WE NEEDED, RIGHT?
Both: YEAH.
HOW ABOUT LET'S GET THE ENGINE OUT AND GET ROCKING?
DO YOU THINK IT'S GOING TO ROLL RIGHT OVER EASY, OR WHAT?
YOU WANT ME TO GET A PROPANE TANK?
YEAH. JUST GO GRAB ONE OFF THE BARBECUE THERE, I GUESS.
PUT THAT THING OVER IT.
Chad: LISTEN, THAT'S A SMOKING GUN,
ACTUALLY, WHEN YOU OPEN THAT HOOD,
AND IF THERE'S ANY CAR GUYS AMONGST THE SWINGERS,
THEY WILL KNOW WE GOT A HEMI UNDERNEATH THE HOOD, RIGHT --
"HAS THAT THING GOT A HEMI?"
[BLEEP] THING GOT A KEY.
I'M NOT USED TO THAT.
SO THAT'S ONLY -- THIS PROPANE IS HOOKING UP LIKE THAT,
AND THAT'S IT.
YEAH. YOU GOT TO PRIME IT.
-HOW DO YOU PRIME IT? -THAT RIGHT THERE.
WHAT, THESE?
SEE HERE? THERE'S A LINE.
YOU JUST PRESS IT HOW MANY TIMES? IT SAY?
I JUST DO IT FOR, LIKE, COUPLE SECONDS, AND --
[ ENGINE CRANKING ]
[ ENGINE STARTS ]
AH! [ LAUGHS ]
THAT ENGINE IMPRESSES ME SO MUCH.
Alex: GOOD OIL PRESSURE.
OH, WOW. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU FLICK THAT?
DOES THAT TAKE OFF? -YEAH.
WOULDN'T WANT TO GET YOUR NUTS TANGLED UP IN THAT!
[ LAUGHS ]
YEAH!
LET'S GET IT OUT.
OH, YEAH. AWESOME.
THAT'S A GOOD DEAL, BOY. -WHOOP, WHOOP!
I'M GOING TO GO BACK IN THERE AND KEEP WELDING.
THANKS, MAN. AWESOME.
Alex: I'M GOING TO GET COLTON TO STRIP THIS ENGINE DOWN
SO WE COULD START CONVERTING IT.
WE GOT TO REPLACE THE PROPANE CARBURETOR,
PRESSURE REGULATOR, STUFF LIKE THAT
WITH REGULAR CARBURETORS TO RUN FUEL.
THAT'S A LOT OF WORK AND STUFF
THAT'S ON MY SHOULDERS TO GET DONE.
GOT TO DRAIN THE ANTIFREEZE.
ALL RIGHT. WE'LL START THERE THEN, HUH?
YEAH.
I DIDN'T THINK THIS ENGINE WOULD START THAT EASY,
BUT, LIKE, THE OIL IS STILL GOLD, AND I MEAN GOLD.
WHAT DO YOU THINK, ALEX?
-SHE'S GOING TO BE FUN. -SHE'S GOING TO BE FUN?
-FUN. -DON'T LET HIM TEAR HER TOO MUCH APART, OKAY?
NO, I WON'T.
KEEP HER COMPLETE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
Colton: I'LL TEAR THE WHOLE [BLEEP] THING.
NO. NO. I WANT YOU TO KEEP AS MUCH COMPLETE AS POSSIBLE.
THIS IS CALLED A TEARDOWN. THIS IS A TEARDOWN.
YOU'RE A TEARDOWN.
Alex: GOING TO HAVE TO GET A CHEV ALTERNATOR,
CHANGE OVER TO 12-VOLT.
I FEEL LIKE THAT'S GOING TO BE A SLOW DRAIN.
[ DRILL WHIRRING ]
ONE PROPANE SETUP FOR SALE.
I'M LIKE A NEWBORN BABY.
I GOT A BALD SPOT ON THE BACK OF MY HEAD.
-YOU DO? -YEAH. IT'S RIGHT THERE.
CHAD, HE TRUSTS ME QUITE A BIT,
BUT HE LIKES TO BE PART OF EVERYTHING.
WOW. LOOK AT THAT NOW, WOULD YOU?
HOT DIGGITY DOG!
YOU GOT RID OF ALL THE OIL AND ALL THE ANTIFREEZE THERE?
LOOK AT THE ANTIFREEZE, NICE, HELD WATER, THAT'S --
MAN, LISTEN, I'M TELLING YOU RIGHT NOW --
I'M STOKED ABOUT THAT. I LOVE IT, STOKED.
WATCH IT. SHE'S GOING DOWN.
Alex: SOMETIMES YOU JUST GOT TO WALK AWAY
AND LET ME CONTINUE ON AND FOCUS ON WHAT I'M DOING.
WATCH YOUR HEAD.
-EVERYTHING GOOD? -SHE'S GOOD.
-HUH? -SHE'S SETTING ON.
Chad: AWESOME. THAT'S A BIG MOTOR.
THAT'S A HONKER. CAN YOU PICK IT UP, BOY?
-NO. -CAN HE MOVE THAT?
THAT'S HEAVY.
OH, MY. OH, WOW.
LOOK AT THAT BAD BOY, WOULD YOU?
THAT'S WHY THEY CALL IT A HEMI.
Colton: I'M BANKING ON ALEX BIG TO GET THIS THING STARTED.
IF I SPENT 1,700 BUCKS OF SOMEBODY ELSE'S MONEY,
AND IT'S A MISS, THAT SUCKS.
JOLENE HAS BEEN IN CONTACT WITH JAKE'S HOUSE.
THEY'RE QUITE EXCITED, WHICH MAKES ME PANIC.
Alex: I JUST WANT TO SEE IF THIS THING WILL START.
GO FOR IT, MAN. [ ENGINE CRANKING ]
Chad: AS WE'RE BUILDING THIS CAR, THE ASS OF IT LOOKS LIKE AN ANT.
YOU WOULD SEE THE BIGGER PART COME TO A POINT,
AND IT WOULD HAVE ITS LITTLE LEGS SCURRYING ON THE INSIDE.
THE FENDERS, I GUESS, ARE KIND OF THE LEGS
BECAUSE THAT'S THE PART THAT'S STICKING OUT,
BUT THE ANT'S BUM IS RIGHT THERE.
YOU CAN SEE IT.
WE GOT HELL OF AN ANT.
I WANT TO STRETCH THE FRONT FENDERS
A LITTLE LONGER THAN THE BACK FENDERS
JUST TO GIVE THAT FEEL OF THAT LONG HOOD, RIGHT?
REMEMBER THAT LONG HOOD THAT WE WANT?
WELL, THEM FRONT FENDERS GOT TO BE ALMOST AS LONG AS THAT HOOD.
THIS IS JUST SOME 5/16 ROUND ROD.
I'M GOING TO PEAK THE FRONT FENDER,
AND THAT'S GOING TO BE THE PEAK OF IT.
I'M GOING TO ACTUALLY PEAK IT LIKE THE BACK.
I'M GOING TO MAKE THE PATTERN OUT OF CARDBOARD,
WHICH AARON IS DOING.
COLTON, RIGHT NOW, HE'S TRANSFERRING TWO PIECES OF METAL
WHILE ALEX WORKS ON THE BRAKES AND THE ENGINE.
CAN'T GET ANY BUSIER THAN THAT.
WE'RE MODIFYING THESE FENDERS PRETTY SUBSTANTIALLY.
THEY STARTED OUT AT ABOUT 5 FEET LONG,
AND NOW THEY'RE GOING ALL THE WAY TO 7 1/2 FEET LONG.
BY DOING THIS, YOU CAN TRANSFORM THE WHOLE LOOK OF THE CAR
IN JUST A MATTER OF A FEW HOURS,
MAKE IT LOOK A LITTLE EXTRA ELEGANT.
JUST BECAUSE HE MADE THIS PATTERN
DOESN'T MEAN IT'S GOING TO FIT IN THE HOLE.
REMEMBER, SEE HOW HE FITTED IT, WHICH IS FLAT?
JUST LEAVE AN INCH ON EACH SIDE OR 1/2-INCH.
WE'LL LEAVE A LITTLE BIT, YEAH.
HE'S GETTING SHARP AS A TACK.
Chad: NOW THAT IT'S ALL FRAMED UP, ALL WE HAVE TO DO NOW
IS MAKE PANELS TO FILL IT IN.
WHERE DOES THIS PIECE OF METAL GO NEXT, SON?
TO THE ROLLER!
DON'T GET DRIVING LIKE THAT.
YOU'RE DRIVING LIKE YOU'RE DRUNK.
JUST DRIVE IT STRAIGHT THROUGH.
I'LL DRIVE IT THROUGH THIS WAY, AND YOU DRIVE IT BACK THROUGH.
WE'VE GOT IT WAY TOO LONG, HAVEN'T WE?
I LIKE THIS MACHINE.
-WHAT? -I LIKE THIS MACHINE.
Chad: WE USE EVERY MACHINE IN THE GARAGE
JUST TO GET THIS BENT UP.
IT LOOKS NICE, ACTUALLY.
IF THE PANEL IS A LITTLE BIT BIGGER THAN IT NORMALLY FITS,
YOU CAN TACK IT ON IN A PLACE AND THEN MOVE ON
AND THEN CUT OFF AS YOU GO.
IF YOU TRY TO TAKE THE PANEL AND FIT PERFECT,
IT WILL TAKE YOU FOR MORE LONGER TIME, FOREVER, YOU KNOW?
AND WE'RE NOT INTO FOREVER.
WE'RE INTO GETTING IT DONE.
Colton: THE EXTENSION OF THE FRONT FENDERS
I FIND MAKE THE CAR.
IT BRINGS EVERYTHING TOGETHER AND MAKES EVERYTHING
KIND OF FLOW, FLOW TOGETHER, RIGHT?
THAT'S THE LAST PIECE OF THE PUZZLE.
JOLENE HAS BEEN IN CONTACT WITH JAKE'S HOUSE,
AND THEY'RE QUITE EXCITED. -YEAH?
YES, WHICH MAKES ME PANIC.
LET'S FACE IT -- WE'RE GOING THERE WITH A BUNCH OF PEOPLE
THAT OBVIOUSLY HAVE MONEY, THAT ARE SWINGING ON THIS CAR,
THAT ARE GOING TO SEE SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE BUILT.
**
I MEAN, FIRST, WHEN HE FIRST STARTED,
HE WAS GETTING "BOOS" AND "NAYS" AND "YEAS."
NOW HE'S GETTING "YAY!"
HUH?
ALL RIGHT. IT LOOKS PRETTY DECENT, EH?
Aaron: IT DOES.
I DON'T KNOW IF WE COULD BUILD ANOTHER ONE LIKE IT.
-WELL, WE COULDN'T. -YEAH, WE --
WE'VE NEVER SEEN THIS CAR UP FRONT AND CLOSE YET.
IT'S ONLY BEEN IN MY BRAIN.
IT'S LOOKING REAL GOOD, SO NOW IT'S GOING TO TAKE --
YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A LITTLE TIME,
ADD SOME DETAILS AND MAKE THIS THING CLASSY.
WE'RE GOING TO BRING THE EXHAUST OUTSIDE THE CAR
FROM THE SIDE OF THE CAR DOWN THROUGH THE FENDER.
SO CAN WE PUT A PIPE ALONG HERE?
I THINK IT'LL LOOK GOOD THERE, DON'T YOU?
WHEN YOU BUILD SOMETHING LIKE THAT,
WHEN THE EXHAUST COMES OUT THE SIDE
AND OUT THROUGH THE FENDER, THAT TAKES TIME.
THAT TAKES PRECISION.
I THINK HERE IS THE EXHAUST.
I THINK THAT'S THE STYLE THAT IT SHOULD BE,
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, MYSELF.
Jolene: I'VE BEEN LOOKING THROUGH MAGAZINES
AND BEEN LOOKING ONLINE AT ALL THE 1920s, 1930s
ART DECO CARS, AND THAT'S KIND OF WHAT INSPIRED US
TO DO THE EXHAUST OUT THE HOOD AND THROUGH THE FENDER.
THAT'S QUITE AN EXTENSIVE THING TO DO
GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT WE HAVE.
Alex: IS THAT THE FIRST TIME YOU'VE CUT A CIRCLE?
-YES! [BLEEP] -YOU DID DAMN GOOD.
Chad: WELL, THAT'S OUR FIRST HOLE.
-YEAH. -WE'VE CUT A HOLE IN THE CAR.
HOW IS THAT?
IT'S A BIG THING WHEN YOU CUT A HOLE ON THE SIDE OF YOUR CAR.
YOU MESS IT UP, THEN YOU GOT TO WELD IT BACK IN,
AND THAT JUST PUTS YOU BEHIND.
LISTEN, I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S WORTH IT OR NOT.
WE COULD HAVE LEFT THE ELEGANCE, I THINK, THERE,
BUT WHAT DO YOU THINK, LIKE IT ON THE SIDE?
WITH THE CHROME, IT'LL LOOK GOOD, WON'T IT?
OH, YES.
NO, THERE'S NO WORRIES THAT IT'S NOT GOING TO LOOK THE WAY
I WANT IT TO BECAUSE IF IT DOESN'T LOOK THAT WAY,
WE'LL JUST CHANGE OUR MINDS AND GO WITH ANOTHER WAY.
I'M NOT GOING TO CRY IF SOMETHING
DOESN'T GO EXACTLY THE RIGHT WAY.
I MEAN, LET'S FACE IT, WE'RE BUILDING A CAR,
BUT ANY WAY WE DO IT,
WE'LL MAKE IT PLEASING TO THE EYE.
WE'LL HAVE EXHAUST GO STRAIGHT DOWN
UNDERNEATH YOUR CAR, PIECE OF PISS.
NO, WE'VE TOOK IT AROUND THE BACK OF THE MOTOR
AND PUT IT THROUGH THE SIDE OF THE CAR
AND THEN PUT IT DOWN THROUGH THE FENDER.
WE CAN BRING IT UP LIKE THAT.
YEP. LET'S START THE ROUND ROD.
AWESOME.
LOOKS GOOD, SUPER GOOD, YOU KNOW?
JUST EXACTLY WHAT I EXPECTED, IT'S AWESOME.
LOOK AT THAT NOW, ALEX, WOULD YOU?
THAT'S LIKE A [BLEEP] EXHAUST FROM KALAMAZOO, DOOT-DOO!
LOVE IT!
Jolene: NAILED HER.
[ BIRDS CHIRPING ]
Chad: HEMI IS THE ULTIMATE ENGINE.
HEMI STANDS FOR STATUS, YOU KNOW?
IT MEANS YOU'VE GOT SOMETHING.
Alex: SHE'S GETTING CLOSE.
I GOT A FAN AND STUFF TO RIG UP,
BUT I JUST WANT TO SEE IF THIS THING WILL START.
Chad: GO FOR IT, MAN.
I'M VERY HAPPY WITH COLTON THAT HE FOUND THE ENGINE
AND MADE A DEAL WITH WENDELL.
I HOPE THAT IT WORKS.
PRIME THIS PUMP, CROSS THE SOLENOID.
SHOULD I BE STANDING HERE? IT'S NOT --
[ ENGINE CRANKING ]
[ ENGINE STARTS ] HEY!
I LIKE THE SOUND OF THAT.
OOH, THAT SOUNDS NICE, DOESN'T IT?
[ ENGINE REVVING ]
AIN'T THAT THING GOING TO BE SCARY.
[ ENGINE REVS LOUDLY ]
Chad: WELL, MAN, I'M ON TOP OF THE WORLD.
IT MAKES ME FEEL GOOD KNOWING THAT COLTON MADE
A GOOD DEAL, RIGHT?
WOW. THAT SOUNDS GOOD, EH?
HE LEARNING. YEAH. SURE, HE IS.
I CAN GUARANTEE IT.
THAT SOUNDS AWESOME.
THAT SOUNDS -- I'M TELLING YOU. -OH, WHEW.
IT'S GOING TO BE A QUICK LITTLE CAR.
[ LAUGHS ]
Colton: THE HEMI WAS THE RIGHT CHOICE. I'M LEARNING.
I THINK DAD'S PROUD OF ME IN THAT I DID THE WORK.
Chad: IT SOUNDS GOOD.
COLTON AND ME HAVE GONE THROUGH QUITE A BIT.
DAMN IT!
TAKE THINGS IN YOUR OWN HANDS SOMETIMES,
AND THAT'S WHEN YOU BECOME A MAN.
OUR RELATIONSHIP HAS CHANGED FROM THE START TO NOW.
GO SLOW. MOVE A LITTLE FASTER.
KEEP IT UP AGAINST THE RULER.
I AM IN HIS LIFE.
I'VE BECOME A FATHER. JUST KEEP UP THE HARD WORK.
AND LIFE IS A BIG JOURNEY, RIGHT?
WE CAN ONLY GET BETTER.
I MEAN, LET'S FACE IT -- WE'RE ALL TRYING TO GET BETTER,
BUT IF HE LEARNS FROM HIS MISTAKES,
LEARN FROM THAT SITUATION, THEN YOU'LL BE MUCH HAPPIER.
CHAD AND JOLENE ARE BRINGING US THE CAR
FOR OUR HOLE-IN-ONE COMPETITION.
I GOT TO WIN THIS BABY, TODAY!
WHAT DID YOU BUY YOURSELF, A MONSTER TRUCK?
YES.
Chad: WELL, I OBVIOUSLY HAVE MOTIVATED THAT YOUNG MAN
BECAUSE HE'S GOT A TRUCK, AND HE'S GOING TO FIX IT,
AND I'M QUITE PROUD OF HIM.
Colton: I WORKED OVER 2 MONTHS DAY AND NIGHT TO BUY THIS,
AND IT'S MINE NOW.
IT'S AN ANTIQUE.
IT'S A 1981 C60, THREE-SPEED TRANSMISSION, ALL PUSHED-UP.
IT'S A COOL RIG TO DRIVE.
IT'S LIKE DRIVING A TRAMPOLINE.
YOU'RE GOING DOWNTOWN.
YOU'RE...IT'S COOL. I LIKE IT.
Chad: I THINK YOU MADE A GOOD BUY, BOY.
THAT'S WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR.
I THOUGHT I'D HAVE SOMETHING BAD TO SAY, BUT I HAVEN'T.
[ CHUCKLES ] WELL, IT FEELS GOOD.
YEAH, IT'S COOL.
I'M PROUD TO CALL HIM MY FATHER.
I THINK WE'RE NOT ONLY FATHER AND SON, BUT GOOD BUDDIES, TOO.
CHAD HAS GOT NO FEAR OF DOING ANYTHING AT ALL.
THAT'S A TALENT THAT NOT EVERYBODY HAS.
YOU WANT SOMETHING BUILT, ALL YOU DO IS EXPLAIN IT TO HIM.
HE CAN BUILD IT.
Chad: FOR THIS PAINT JOB ON THIS CAR, WE WANT SOMETHING SHINY,
SOMETHING SPARKLY WITH PEARL IN IT.
WE PUT METALLIC IN IT, SOMETHING REALLY ELEGANT.
THAT'S WHAT WE WANT.
**
WHICH WAY, RON?
Ron: STILL LEFT, LITTLE BIT MORE, YEAH.
Jolene: WE'VE GOT THE PAINT ON,
AND WE'LL BE READY TO PUT IT ON THE CHASSIS.
WE'LL START PIECING IT ALL TOGETHER.
**
AARON'S WOOD HAS BIG LINES IN IT LIKE A TIGER WOULD.
IT'S PART OF WHAT'S GOING TO MAKE IT ELEGANT.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT, BABY?
Jolene: I LOVE IT.
GET THE WINDSHIELD, THE DUVALL WINDSHIELD.
IT WILL REALLY MAKE THE CAR, YOU KNOW?
IT WILL REALLY SET THE TONE FOR WHAT THE CAR IS,
AND IT IS SORT OF A SPEEDSTER, I WOULD SAY, A '30 SPEEDSTER.
IT'S A PIECE OF JEWELRY, AND THE ONLY REASON
I'M BUILDING IT THIS WAY
IS BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO THIS BIG GOLF COURSE,
AND YOU SEE ON TV AND CAR SHOWS AND ALL THAT STUFF, D'ELEGANCES,
ALL THESE CARS ARE SO BEAUTIFUL,
YOU KNOW, SOMETHING YOU'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE.
JUST DROP IT IN THE CENTER, I GUESS.
WOW. YOU KNOW, RIGHT, FIRST ONE
I WANT YOU TO TIGHTEN UP, IS ABOUT AARON'S CORNER.
YEAH.
SO THE DUVALL WINDSHIELD COST AROUND $8,000.
IT'S THE MOST MONEY THAT WE'VE SPENT ON A BUILD,
BUT YET IT'S SUCH A FOCAL PIECE, AND IT'S A STATEMENT PIECE.
WOW. THAT'S CRAZY.
SO FINANCIALLY, THIS BUILD WAS EXPENSIVE,
BUT GOING IN THE HOLE A COUPLE THOUSAND DOLLARS,
YOU KNOW, IT'S WORTH IT WHEN YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY LIKE THIS,
AND IT'S ALSO FOR CHARITY, SO IT'S ALL WORKING OUT.
-SICK. -IT'S LOOKING LIKE $1 MILLION.
IT IS. IT'S LOOKING REAL GOOD, EH?
-YEAH. -THAT THING IS SICK.
YOU THINK? RIGHT?
WHAT DO YOU THINK? THAT THING SICK OR WHAT?
Colton: WHEN YOU BUILD SOMETHING, I CAN LOOK AT IT
AND JUST SEE ALL THE ODD PIECES WE USED TO PUT IT TOGETHER.
LIKE, I CAN JUST SEE THE SHOWER CURTAINS THAT ARE WELDED.
-YOU CAN? -YEAH. CAN YOU?
DON'T TELL ANYBODY.
I JUST LOOK AT IT, AND I SEE SHOWER CURTAINS.
**
TODAY, WE'VE GOT CHAD AND JOLENE BRINGING US THE CAR
FOR OUR HOLE-IN-ONE COMPETITION,
AND I'M REALLY EXCITED TO SEE WHAT IT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE.
**
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
**
HOW YOU DOING?
**
THIS IS MY STYLE!
I'M GOING TO WIN THIS BABY TODAY.
I HAVEN'T HEARD OF CHAD BEFORE, BUT I'LL TELL YOU,
HE'S GOING TO MAKE A NAME FOR HIMSELF.
YEAH, I WANT TO SEE YOU GUYS SWING THE CLUBS
AND TRY TO GET CLOSE.
I DON'T KNOW WHO'S GOING TO GET THAT HOLE-IN-ONE,
BUT WHOEVER DOES...
THIS IS A DAMN GOOD PRIZE, I'LL TELL YOU.
OH. THIS IS AN AMAZING PRIZE.
Woman: BEAUTIFUL.
AND EVIDENTLY THIS GUY KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING.
-WE EXPECT FIRE TO COME OUT THE BACK. -YEAH.
AND IF I CAN'T GET A DATE WITH THIS CAR, I'M --
[ BOTH LAUGH ]
I THINK IT'S A LOT OF FUN. IT'S A GREAT --
[ ENGINE STARTS, REVS ]
DOESN'T THAT GET YOUR HEART GOING?
[ LAUGHS ]
CAN YOU GUYS HEAR ME RIGHT NOW?
Chad: FOR THESE PEOPLE TO ENJOY THIS CAR WHEN THEY COULD HAVE ANY CAR
THEY WANT, IT TELLS ME THAT WE'VE DONE OUR JOB.
I'M PROUD TO BE HERE AND TO BE A PART OF THIS.
I HOPE YOU ENJOY THE CAR, AND I HOPE A FEW OF YOU WANT
AND TAKE A FEW EXTRA SWINGS, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING, RIGHT?
WHOO! -SWING-OFF.
ME AND MY CREW, WE'LL SEE YOU ON HOLE 15.
[ LAUGHTER, APPLAUSE ]
**
-HERE WE GO! -WHAT'S GOING ON?
IS THAT THE HOLE?
WHAT? IT'S TOO CLOSE!
**
NICE SHOT.
NO PROBLEM.
-OOH. WOW. -THAT'S A NICE ONE.
-NICE SHOT. -I GOT IT!
OUR GUESTS ARE BLOWN AWAY. WE COULDN'T HAVE ASKED FOR A BETTER CAR.
I CAN TASTE IT. I WANT THAT CAR.
**
Chad: NO ONE HAS PUT A HOLE-IN-ONE.
NOBODY WON THE CAR, BUT EVERYBODY COMING TOGETHER,
IT WAS A BIG WIN.
WE'RE GOING TO KEEP THE CAR HERE PROMOTING JAKE'S HOUSE.
WE'RE GOING TO DO THESE TOURNAMENTS AGAIN AND AGAIN
UNTIL IT'S WON.
**
Chad: TO GO SOMEWHERE AND SEE SOMETHING SO PRIM AND PROPER...
I'VE NEVER BEEN TO A PLACE LIKE THIS BEFORE.
IT'S AN EYE-OPENER.
I COULD GET USED TO IT.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, APPRECIATE IT.
I DON'T MIND THEIR FOOD.
I LOVE THEIR FOOD.
EXACTLY.
I MEAN, WE'RE BUILDING THE CAR, AND IT REQUIRES --
THIS IS A BIG STEP FORWARD FOR OUR LITTLE SHOP.
HERE WE ARE. YEAH.
James: WE HAVE OUR NEWEST ADDITION TO THE JAKE'S HOUSE FAMILY,
CHAD AND JOLENE, IF THEY'D LIKE TO COME UP HERE FOR A MINUTE.
PUT US ON THE SPOT!
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
CHAD AND JOLENE, WE COULDN'T BE MORE EXCITED.
WE'VE RAISED IN EXCESS OF $100,000 ALREADY.
IT'S JUST THE BEGINNING OF HOPEFULLY
A LONG-TERM RELATIONSHIP.
CHEERS. All: CHEERS.
[ APPLAUSE ]
TO BE ABLE TO HELP SOMEBODY, THERE'S NO FEELING LIKE IT.
I CAN'T EXPLAIN THAT FEELING.
**
Chad: THE GARAGE, IT'S SO SIMPLE.
IT'S SO PLAIN. IT'S SO OLD-LOOKING.
IT'S KIND OF OUT-OF-PLACE,
BUT WHEN YOU COME IN THE FRONT DOOR,
YOU KNOW THAT YOU'RE IN A SPECIAL PLACE,
AND THIS IS WHERE OUR DREAM IS AS BIG AS WE WANT TO MAKE IT.
TO BUILD THE CARS THAT WE'RE BUILDING,
ALL IT SHOWS IS THAT THE GARAGE DOESN'T BUILD THE CAR.
WE BUILD OUR CARS, AND I'M A LUCKY MAN.
WITH MY SON, I WANT HIM TO KNOW HIS SELF-WORTH.
HE WORKS HERE NIGHTS, 1:00, 2:00 IN THE MORNING.
I'M PROUD OF HIM.
THE ONLY THING TO LOOK FORWARD TO IS THE FUTURE.
THE FUTURE IS IN THE EYES OF THE BEHOLDER,
AND I HAVE MANY BEAUTIFUL CARS TO SHARE.
