1
00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:02,667
I'm really excited about
cutting a Ferrari bumper.
2
00:00:03,767 --> 00:00:06,266
A bag Ferrari in Houston.
Yes, sir.
3
00:00:06,266 --> 00:00:08,200
-Can you picture that, man?
-[Ian] Man, I'm excited.
4
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:10,900
[Bill] I'm not real sure
why most people are afraid
5
00:00:10,900 --> 00:00:12,867
to do anything
with these cars.
6
00:00:12,867 --> 00:00:15,667
It's like any other cars,
just has a dancing horse
on it, you know?
7
00:00:15,667 --> 00:00:18,500
It has nothing like
I've ever seen before.
8
00:00:18,500 --> 00:00:20,767
[Bill] We got a really cool
GTO we're working on.
9
00:00:20,767 --> 00:00:21,934
Totally custom.
10
00:00:21,934 --> 00:00:24,400
And let me guess,
that thing is gonna be
low to the ground.
11
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:25,600
[Bill] I didn't even
have to say that.
12
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,000
You ready for this?
13
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,967
Oh, my God! This looks sick.
14
00:00:29,967 --> 00:00:33,567
[upbeat music playing]
15
00:00:33,567 --> 00:00:35,300
[Bill] I'm Bill Carlton.
16
00:00:35,300 --> 00:00:38,000
I built my first truck
when I was 16.
17
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,967
And ever since me and my guys
have been out here
18
00:00:40,967 --> 00:00:42,533
creating with our hands
19
00:00:44,467 --> 00:00:47,567
building the biggest,
lowest and baddest
20
00:00:47,567 --> 00:00:49,734
custom trucks and cars
in the game.
21
00:00:51,367 --> 00:00:53,867
People don't come here
for what they need,
22
00:00:53,867 --> 00:00:55,533
they come here
for what they want.
23
00:00:57,567 --> 00:01:00,467
This is Texas Metal.
24
00:01:00,467 --> 00:01:01,934
[music concludes]
25
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,433
[engine revving]
26
00:01:21,467 --> 00:01:22,700
-How you doing, man?
-How's it going?
27
00:01:22,700 --> 00:01:25,000
-[Bill] That's a cool car
you got, man.
-I like it.
28
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:26,166
You know it's a cool day
29
00:01:26,166 --> 00:01:28,400
when a customer rolls
into the shop with a new car.
30
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,100
It's already really unique.
31
00:01:30,100 --> 00:01:34,100
You know, I'm really excited
for the custom that we can
bring into this Ferrari F430.
32
00:01:34,100 --> 00:01:35,900
What are you doing with this
thing on the north side?
33
00:01:35,900 --> 00:01:37,867
Man, you know I've had this
car for a little bit, Bill,
34
00:01:37,867 --> 00:01:40,767
and I kind of wanted to make
it unique and make it my own
and something different.
35
00:01:40,767 --> 00:01:42,467
And I know you're the person
to come see for it.
36
00:01:42,467 --> 00:01:44,066
So, I'll just kind of see
what we can do
with this thing.
37
00:01:44,066 --> 00:01:46,667
Just a Ferrari riding around
just ain't cool enough
for you, huh?
38
00:01:46,667 --> 00:01:49,500
No, no, I got to do some stuff
that I like to see on it.
39
00:01:49,500 --> 00:01:51,000
[laughing] Right.
40
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,867
[Ian] What I really like about
the Ferrari F430
is the looks of it.
41
00:01:53,867 --> 00:01:55,600
The sound
is absolutely amazing.
42
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,166
As soon as I get a car,
usually I like to take
the stock aspect of it away,
43
00:01:59,166 --> 00:02:00,600
and make it customized.
44
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,700
I wanted just to look
a little bit more aggressive
45
00:02:02,700 --> 00:02:05,166
and just a little different
flavor than what
it has currently.
46
00:02:05,166 --> 00:02:08,166
-Personalize and make it your
own and make it stand out.
-Absolutely.
47
00:02:08,166 --> 00:02:09,800
[Bill] You know, I've seen you
rolling up.
48
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,667
Man, it's a beautiful car.
Don't get me wrong.
49
00:02:11,667 --> 00:02:13,967
But it's lacking a little bit
in the front, man.
50
00:02:13,967 --> 00:02:17,667
-So there's a little bit of
room for improvement up here.
-Okay.
51
00:02:17,667 --> 00:02:19,867
-[Bill] It looks too sleek.
-It needs something.
52
00:02:19,867 --> 00:02:22,800
It does, man, it needs
something down here low.
53
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,800
What do you think about
building a new front lip
underneath here?
54
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,000
-Bringing it out a little bit,
a couple of inches.
-Yeah.
55
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,767
I mean just comes all the way
off to the side, too,
56
00:02:30,767 --> 00:02:32,200
maybe bend up on the edges.
57
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,166
-I think that would just wake
the whole front of your car.
-I agree.
58
00:02:35,166 --> 00:02:36,667
That way when
it's coming at you, man,
59
00:02:36,667 --> 00:02:39,467
-people are just like,
"Damn, here he comes."
-I like that.
60
00:02:39,467 --> 00:02:41,900
You know, one of the obvious
things we have to do
61
00:02:41,900 --> 00:02:44,166
-is upgrade the wheels
and tires.
-For sure.
62
00:02:44,166 --> 00:02:45,200
[Bill] And if
we're doing that,
63
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:46,900
let's step it up
to a 20 inch, man,
64
00:02:46,900 --> 00:02:48,166
to really make it stand out.
65
00:02:48,166 --> 00:02:49,100
[Ian] That would look awesome.
66
00:02:49,100 --> 00:02:51,200
Something like that
is a must on this car.
67
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,667
And you gotta get the stance
just a little bit lower,
too, right?
68
00:02:54,667 --> 00:02:55,967
Yeah, I agree.
69
00:02:55,967 --> 00:02:58,567
All these streets around here
aren't made for a car
like that.
70
00:02:58,567 --> 00:02:59,967
No, it's not.
71
00:02:59,967 --> 00:03:02,600
[Bill] A low car that we're
gonna make even lower
with a front lip.
72
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:03,867
-Right?
-Yep.
73
00:03:03,867 --> 00:03:06,200
So, what do you think about
putting air suspension
on this,
74
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,567
so you can just drop it
on the ground,
75
00:03:08,567 --> 00:03:10,567
then you can raise it
right back up
76
00:03:10,567 --> 00:03:11,867
to get around those potholes.
77
00:03:11,867 --> 00:03:13,867
A bag Ferrari,
you can do that to this?
78
00:03:13,867 --> 00:03:15,266
Man, absolutely, man.
79
00:03:15,266 --> 00:03:16,667
Where do we even put the tank?
80
00:03:16,667 --> 00:03:19,367
-Well, that
remains to be seen.
-[laughing] Okay.
81
00:03:19,367 --> 00:03:20,600
That's the way to go on this.
82
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,100
I mean,
to have that adjustability,
83
00:03:22,100 --> 00:03:23,467
man, we got you on that.
84
00:03:23,467 --> 00:03:26,667
Whether if it's a full size
Chevy or Ferrari,
it doesn't matter.
85
00:03:26,667 --> 00:03:28,667
Bagging this thing
is no problem at all.
86
00:03:28,667 --> 00:03:30,000
We'll make it super reliable,
87
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,266
make it ride really good.
88
00:03:31,266 --> 00:03:32,700
This is what we do here,
89
00:03:32,700 --> 00:03:34,300
so, you know,
that's not a problem at all.
90
00:03:34,300 --> 00:03:36,867
Bagged 'Rarri in Houston?
Yes, sir.
91
00:03:36,867 --> 00:03:40,000
Can you picture that, man,
just pulling up and then
dropping it on the ground.
92
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,100
Yeah, the visual is there.
93
00:03:41,100 --> 00:03:43,567
[Bill] So, front lip,
wheels and tires,
94
00:03:43,567 --> 00:03:45,266
and air ride suspension
on this thing.
95
00:03:45,266 --> 00:03:47,567
You wanted something to set
you apart from everybody else,
96
00:03:47,567 --> 00:03:49,066
-right?
-I did.
97
00:03:49,066 --> 00:03:51,567
Well, it don't get any cooler
and more personalized
than that, right?
98
00:03:51,567 --> 00:03:53,600
Man, I'm super excited.
That's gonna look amazing.
99
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,767
-You ready to get it going?
-I'm ready.
100
00:03:55,767 --> 00:03:57,333
-[Bill] Let's make it happen.
-All right, Bill.
101
00:03:58,100 --> 00:03:59,433
Man, it's gonna be cool.
102
00:04:03,567 --> 00:04:06,000
[Bill] You know,
there's no argument.
Ferraris are cool car.
103
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,266
But they all pretty much
look the same.
104
00:04:08,266 --> 00:04:10,867
Right out the box,
you can go purchase this car,
105
00:04:10,867 --> 00:04:13,100
and instantly be a lot cooler.
106
00:04:13,100 --> 00:04:15,066
But, you know,
there's gonna be somebody
107
00:04:15,066 --> 00:04:17,266
that's gonna park theirs
right next to you,
108
00:04:17,266 --> 00:04:19,300
and just be the exact same.
109
00:04:19,300 --> 00:04:21,500
Surpassing the normal quality,
110
00:04:21,500 --> 00:04:22,767
the normal engineering,
111
00:04:22,767 --> 00:04:25,100
you know, they go above
and beyond on that.
112
00:04:25,100 --> 00:04:28,000
You know, they exceed
every expectation on that.
113
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,200
But when it comes
to customization,
114
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,367
that's where we go
above and beyond.
115
00:04:32,367 --> 00:04:35,266
Most people, when they have
a high-end car like this,
116
00:04:35,266 --> 00:04:36,500
and they wanna customize it,
117
00:04:36,500 --> 00:04:37,867
they put wheels
and tires on it.
118
00:04:37,867 --> 00:04:39,266
Maybe rapid.
119
00:04:39,266 --> 00:04:40,567
That's not gonna cut it.
120
00:04:40,567 --> 00:04:44,100
You know, the owner,
he wants some actual
customization on this.
121
00:04:44,100 --> 00:04:47,000
He wants something
a little bit more.
122
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,867
He's in the right spot.
I got a thing or two in mind.
123
00:04:49,867 --> 00:04:51,600
I'm not real sure why
124
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,967
most people are afraid to do
anything to these cars.
125
00:04:54,967 --> 00:04:56,867
You know,
if you want a cool car,
126
00:04:56,867 --> 00:04:59,033
you do what it takes
to make it a cool car.
127
00:05:10,467 --> 00:05:13,400
Man, I see you got
a Ferrari in here.
128
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,266
Yeah, you don't get these
in the shop too much, right?
129
00:05:15,266 --> 00:05:16,400
[Jamie] Not at all, man.
130
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:17,367
What are we gonna do to this?
131
00:05:17,367 --> 00:05:18,767
We're known
for air suspension.
132
00:05:18,767 --> 00:05:20,166
-Of course.
-[Bill] That's
our thing, right?
133
00:05:20,166 --> 00:05:22,300
-Yeah.
-So, that's what he wants.
134
00:05:22,300 --> 00:05:23,867
He already got
a super cool car.
135
00:05:23,867 --> 00:05:26,367
It's already low,
but he wants it lower.
136
00:05:26,367 --> 00:05:30,567
Right? But you gotta have that
adjustability to drive it
around Houston.
137
00:05:30,567 --> 00:05:33,467
Houston is like the worst
place ever to have
a car like this.
138
00:05:33,467 --> 00:05:34,800
The roads are terrible.
139
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,467
[Jamie] Man, yeah,
dragging that bumper off,
that would hurt.
140
00:05:37,467 --> 00:05:40,100
So, definitely have that
ride height adjustability
to get that look
141
00:05:40,100 --> 00:05:41,667
or to have that clearance
142
00:05:41,667 --> 00:05:45,000
would definitely be a nice
option to have in a very
expensive car like this.
143
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,367
It's good to be
in the air suspension
business in Houston.
144
00:05:47,367 --> 00:05:48,400
-Mm-hmm.
-[Bill] Right?
145
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,300
[Ryan] And the hard part
is figuring out how to run
146
00:05:50,300 --> 00:05:51,667
all these lines
and everything.
147
00:05:51,667 --> 00:05:54,100
Well, I know one thing,
we're not putting their
metal back here.
148
00:05:54,100 --> 00:05:56,967
-[laughs]
-No, melt the tank right here
on top of the engine.
149
00:05:56,967 --> 00:05:57,900
I don't think so.
150
00:05:57,900 --> 00:05:59,266
You know, not only that,
151
00:05:59,266 --> 00:06:02,000
he wants a lot more aggressive
look on the front end.
152
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,166
So, we're gonna build
a new custom front lip
out of aluminum.
153
00:06:06,166 --> 00:06:07,467
Oh, so even lower.
154
00:06:07,467 --> 00:06:09,166
I don't know what
it's gonna be yet.
155
00:06:09,166 --> 00:06:12,000
It's kind of being dictated
to how everything's
flowing together
156
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,266
once we start building it.
157
00:06:13,266 --> 00:06:15,867
To top it all off,
we got to have those
new wheels and tires.
158
00:06:15,867 --> 00:06:17,800
Yeah, it's definitely
gonna set the stance off
159
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,266
give that nice look to it.
160
00:06:19,266 --> 00:06:20,767
-Impressive.
-Mm-hmm.
161
00:06:20,767 --> 00:06:22,100
You know it's gonna be
real cool, man.
162
00:06:22,100 --> 00:06:24,900
There definitely won't be
another one like this
around Houston.
163
00:06:24,900 --> 00:06:28,100
I don't know about you,
but I'm super excited to see
one of these things around.
164
00:06:28,100 --> 00:06:29,967
- That's gonna be
something right here.
-[Ryan] Yeah, buddy.
165
00:06:29,967 --> 00:06:32,300
All right, man.
Y'all ready to get on
our first Ferrari?
166
00:06:32,300 --> 00:06:33,767
Yeah, not intimidated.
167
00:06:33,767 --> 00:06:35,467
Something new,
something different.
168
00:06:35,467 --> 00:06:37,066
[all laughing]
169
00:06:37,066 --> 00:06:38,000
[Bill] Just like
anything else,
170
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,066
so we're gonna get after it,
get it done,
171
00:06:40,066 --> 00:06:42,433
and make it happen
and make it safe
to be on the road.
172
00:06:52,567 --> 00:06:53,767
[Ryan] This thing will
probably go up so high
173
00:06:53,767 --> 00:06:55,800
that we need to get
a six foot ladder.
174
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,066
I can put a whole another
Ferrari on top of it.
175
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,066
All right, first thing
is first with just about
everything we do.
176
00:07:05,066 --> 00:07:07,667
We'll get the wheel
out of our way,
get all the wheels off.
177
00:07:07,667 --> 00:07:09,567
The way you get to what
you're working on,
178
00:07:09,567 --> 00:07:11,700
you got all your room.
179
00:07:11,700 --> 00:07:14,567
There's nothing
in there anymore.
I already got that one.
180
00:07:14,567 --> 00:07:16,266
I was making sure you all
were paying attention.
181
00:07:16,266 --> 00:07:17,967
[machine whirring]
182
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,867
One of the cool things about
working here is to be able
to see all the different kinds
183
00:07:24,867 --> 00:07:26,467
of suspension components
184
00:07:26,467 --> 00:07:28,367
on all the different makes
and models of vehicles.
185
00:07:28,367 --> 00:07:30,166
-Is that 18 or--
-[Jamie] It's a 19.
186
00:07:30,166 --> 00:07:31,266
Nineteen?
187
00:07:31,266 --> 00:07:33,367
[Jamie] Actually take it
apart, see how it works...
188
00:07:33,367 --> 00:07:34,200
Oh, yeah!
189
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:35,266
...modify everything.
190
00:07:35,266 --> 00:07:36,967
We're just not gonna stop
till it's just right.
191
00:07:36,967 --> 00:07:40,066
[Ryan] There's my
Ferrari strut coming out
of my Ferrari
192
00:07:40,066 --> 00:07:42,467
going on to my Ferrari table.
193
00:07:42,467 --> 00:07:45,300
We'll get some
measurements in here,
we'll figure out what we got.
194
00:07:45,300 --> 00:07:47,200
That looks longer
than 14 inches.
195
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,000
It is, it's 17 inches.
196
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,867
Here are the stock struts
that we pulled out
of the Ferrari.
197
00:07:51,867 --> 00:07:54,500
A front and a rear,
you can see
they're different links.
198
00:07:54,500 --> 00:07:56,600
But these are adjustable.
199
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,467
So, this is a shock
and an airbag in one.
200
00:07:59,467 --> 00:08:01,066
It's why they call it
a strut bag.
201
00:08:01,066 --> 00:08:04,100
But we'll start off
with making it match
these measurements here.
202
00:08:04,100 --> 00:08:05,500
Throw 'em back in the car,
203
00:08:05,500 --> 00:08:07,266
and then with
wanting to go lower,
204
00:08:07,266 --> 00:08:10,300
we can pop this guy out,
adjust it up higher.
205
00:08:10,300 --> 00:08:11,700
And then, once we get
done later with running
206
00:08:11,700 --> 00:08:13,166
and plumbing
and all that stuff,
207
00:08:13,166 --> 00:08:16,367
we'll have the additional
five inches of travel
from wherever it's set
208
00:08:16,367 --> 00:08:18,033
to lowest
to the highest point.
209
00:08:19,166 --> 00:08:21,567
So, these things are actually
easier to work on
210
00:08:21,567 --> 00:08:23,100
than what most people
would think.
211
00:08:23,100 --> 00:08:25,100
'Cause what we did here
in an hour
212
00:08:25,100 --> 00:08:28,367
would take me 14
on something else.
213
00:08:28,367 --> 00:08:30,967
Now, we're
running all the lines
and figuring out routing
214
00:08:30,967 --> 00:08:32,100
and all that stuff.
215
00:08:32,100 --> 00:08:33,834
That's gonna be tricky.
216
00:08:39,166 --> 00:08:41,500
These cars like,
Lambos, Ferraris,
217
00:08:41,500 --> 00:08:43,100
all these really low cars,
218
00:08:43,100 --> 00:08:44,266
they'll have these belly pans
219
00:08:44,266 --> 00:08:46,300
completely covering the whole
underside of the cars.
220
00:08:46,300 --> 00:08:49,000
All your members and rockers
and everything,
221
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,700
this keeps
all that stuff safe.
222
00:08:51,700 --> 00:08:55,467
Plus, aerodynamics keeps
the wind from getting up
underneath the car.
223
00:08:55,467 --> 00:08:57,600
So, we're gonna take this
stuff loose, let it hang
224
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:02,000
and then, Jamie and I will be
able to see exactly where
to run these lines.
225
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,867
This is actually the front
of the motor right here.
226
00:09:03,867 --> 00:09:07,000
You can see everything
from the front going
to the rear.
227
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,233
So, this is what we're gonna
use to route our airlines.
228
00:09:12,967 --> 00:09:15,166
Pop that frunk.
229
00:09:15,166 --> 00:09:16,900
There's limited
room in this car
230
00:09:16,900 --> 00:09:19,967
because it's a mid-engine car,
so there's no room
in the trunk.
231
00:09:19,967 --> 00:09:22,667
You don't wanna put
the air tank right in the car.
232
00:09:22,667 --> 00:09:24,166
This is really the only place
to put it.
233
00:09:24,166 --> 00:09:26,500
So, first thing is
start pulling the stuff apart,
234
00:09:26,500 --> 00:09:27,634
see what we are working with.
235
00:09:29,100 --> 00:09:31,100
That's nothing like
I've ever seen before.
236
00:09:31,100 --> 00:09:34,700
After I pull the panel,
I can see that it doesn't have
a steel piece on the cowl.
237
00:09:34,700 --> 00:09:35,900
It's just got this styrofoam.
238
00:09:35,900 --> 00:09:38,600
So, trying to attach
a chain compressor
to this right here
239
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:39,834
is definitely not gonna work.
240
00:09:43,300 --> 00:09:45,467
[Ryan] So, we come up
with this little plan here.
241
00:09:45,467 --> 00:09:47,700
We make a frame
for the frunk here,
242
00:09:47,700 --> 00:09:51,467
and then we can mount
the tank and everything
to the sort of frame.
243
00:09:51,467 --> 00:09:53,166
You wanna throw this
in that frunk?
244
00:09:53,867 --> 00:09:55,166
We got our angle tacks up,
245
00:09:55,166 --> 00:09:56,367
we got it fit in the car.
246
00:09:56,367 --> 00:09:57,900
Kind of judging
what we can do with it.
247
00:09:57,900 --> 00:10:01,166
Jamie's gonna go ahead
and start making some
mounting brackets for this.
248
00:10:01,166 --> 00:10:03,800
We'll get
the tank put in here,
the compressors put it in here
249
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,367
kind of play with them,
see whether we like it,
250
00:10:05,367 --> 00:10:07,367
and then we can see
what we have to build
251
00:10:07,367 --> 00:10:08,800
to make those
fit to the frame.
252
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,300
That look pretty swell, huh?
You like that?
253
00:10:11,300 --> 00:10:14,266
So, we're gonna
put that guy in there.
254
00:10:14,266 --> 00:10:16,467
I'll lay everything out,
Make sure it's perfect.
255
00:10:16,467 --> 00:10:17,533
Mark all my holes.
256
00:10:17,533 --> 00:10:21,166
I can take
the sheet metal out,
drill on my holes.
257
00:10:21,166 --> 00:10:23,266
-Hey, Dustin,
can I use your welder?
-Heck, yeah.
258
00:10:23,266 --> 00:10:26,700
[Ryan] And then, I can put it
back in and spot weld it
to the angle,
259
00:10:26,700 --> 00:10:28,567
grind it, smooth it out,
clean it up.
260
00:10:28,567 --> 00:10:31,667
And not desert any notes
that I plan on using.
261
00:10:31,667 --> 00:10:34,000
Now, what I'm gonna do
is I'm gonna make a brace
262
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,967
just to strengthen
the center of it up.
263
00:10:35,967 --> 00:10:38,000
Once I put
my compressors there,
264
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,166
and I mount my manifold,
265
00:10:40,166 --> 00:10:42,467
the center of this
is gonna wanna check.
266
00:10:42,467 --> 00:10:44,300
All right, so now that
I have it all together,
267
00:10:44,300 --> 00:10:46,800
you can see the vision
come to life.
268
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,266
This is like the ideal way
of doing this
269
00:10:49,266 --> 00:10:51,767
just because
it simplifies everything.
270
00:10:51,767 --> 00:10:53,700
I can make
everything right here,
271
00:10:53,700 --> 00:10:55,800
and then just go put it down
into the car,
272
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,667
and plug in my lines
and we're in business.
273
00:10:58,667 --> 00:11:00,867
All right, it's in,
now it's time
to make some braces.
274
00:11:13,100 --> 00:11:16,266
You know, it's not every day
we get to bag a Ferrari F430.
275
00:11:16,266 --> 00:11:19,000
One of the biggest challenges
of the suspension setup
276
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,467
is figuring out where
all those airlines go.
277
00:11:21,467 --> 00:11:24,000
[Ryan] The struts
on the Ferrari have
a lot of movement,
278
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,567
so you can't run a hard line
into the back.
279
00:11:26,567 --> 00:11:29,266
So, now that I have
my braided line fastened,
280
00:11:29,266 --> 00:11:30,967
now I can run my hard line up
281
00:11:30,967 --> 00:11:32,967
from the front to the back,
back here.
282
00:11:32,967 --> 00:11:34,700
Everything's gonna have
the rundown the center.
283
00:11:34,700 --> 00:11:37,700
I'm gonna have to consolidate
as much as I can.
284
00:11:37,700 --> 00:11:40,667
Getting that fish through
is probably gonna be
the trickiest part.
285
00:11:40,667 --> 00:11:42,667
Other than that,
it's like any other car
286
00:11:42,667 --> 00:11:44,934
just has a dancing horse
on it.
287
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,600
There's really nowhere
to run this line at all.
288
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:54,300
We're having to fish it
through one hole and hope
it hits another hole.
289
00:11:54,300 --> 00:11:56,166
[machine whirring]
290
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,166
It's kind of tricky,
it's also fun,
291
00:12:00,166 --> 00:12:01,834
like, I like this part of it.
292
00:12:05,066 --> 00:12:08,100
So, I got all four lines
ran from the backs
from each corner.
293
00:12:08,100 --> 00:12:10,266
They ran behind
this panel right here.
294
00:12:10,266 --> 00:12:12,367
So, once I get everything
installed deck in here,
295
00:12:12,367 --> 00:12:15,200
I know exactly where
I can pop all my holes
from my bulkheads.
296
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,900
This front panel right here
that covers the brakes
and all that good stuff
297
00:12:18,900 --> 00:12:20,200
are where our airlines are.
298
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,100
So, I'm gonna make a little
bulkhead right here
299
00:12:22,100 --> 00:12:24,000
for our four airline bulkheads
300
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:28,333
that we're gonna be using
to go from our manifold
to each bag.
301
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,667
We'll just take some aluminum,
302
00:12:31,100 --> 00:12:32,400
drill my holes here.
303
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:33,467
[machine whirring]
304
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,300
There she is.
305
00:12:39,300 --> 00:12:40,867
It's gonna be
something like that.
306
00:12:47,266 --> 00:12:50,300
So, I was strolling through
the shop over there
a little while ago,
307
00:12:50,300 --> 00:12:52,000
checking out
that beautiful Ferrari.
308
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:53,367
They're doing
a great job on it.
309
00:12:53,367 --> 00:12:54,867
I got this bulkhead here.
310
00:12:54,867 --> 00:12:57,000
Not bad, but it is a Ferrari.
311
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,467
So, figured we dressed up
just a little bit better.
312
00:12:59,467 --> 00:13:01,800
I'm gonna take
a few measurements,
draw this up in the computer.
313
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:03,467
Then I'm gonna cut
a piece out of acrylic,
314
00:13:03,467 --> 00:13:05,767
we're gonna
have the logo on it,
lines around,
315
00:13:05,767 --> 00:13:06,900
just to dress this thing
up a little bit,
316
00:13:06,900 --> 00:13:08,500
so it's not so plain
and boring.
317
00:13:08,500 --> 00:13:10,300
All right,
everything's looks good.
318
00:13:10,300 --> 00:13:11,433
Let's run it.
319
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,233
All right.
320
00:13:19,767 --> 00:13:21,000
That was easy enough.
321
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,066
Everything lines up good.
322
00:13:23,066 --> 00:13:25,467
Get this thing
cleaned up a little bit
and get it over to Ryan,
323
00:13:25,467 --> 00:13:26,867
and let him put it on the car.
324
00:13:28,266 --> 00:13:31,166
[Ryan] So, I got the little
cover back from John,
325
00:13:31,166 --> 00:13:32,767
I'm gonna drill holes here.
326
00:13:32,767 --> 00:13:35,533
Then I can mount the plate
and my bulkheads.
327
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:43,467
Classy. I like the way,
John's piece gives
a little bit of character.
328
00:13:48,166 --> 00:13:50,800
You know, today, Marcos,
a longtime customer
329
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,567
good friend invited me out
330
00:13:52,567 --> 00:13:54,467
to his house to see
his car collection,
331
00:13:54,467 --> 00:13:57,467
and then, we're off
to a high-end coffee and cars.
332
00:13:57,467 --> 00:13:59,600
We built a Lambo, a Camaro,
333
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,100
and a '68 Ranger.
334
00:14:02,100 --> 00:14:03,367
-Good morning, man.
-Good morning, dude.
335
00:14:03,367 --> 00:14:05,100
Man, I appreciate you
having me out, Marcos.
336
00:14:05,100 --> 00:14:07,467
Thank you for coming
and giving us support
like always.
337
00:14:07,467 --> 00:14:09,266
[Bill] Man, you got
quite the collection.
338
00:14:09,266 --> 00:14:10,800
How do you pick which one
you're gonna drive, man?
339
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:12,567
Well, man,
it's a little hard sometimes.
340
00:14:12,567 --> 00:14:15,066
But it's like, best thing
to do he has to take
them all out,
341
00:14:15,066 --> 00:14:16,266
and take every single one.
342
00:14:16,266 --> 00:14:19,000
You know, Marcos has a really
impressive collection
343
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,367
from Lambos,
Ferraris, Porsches,
344
00:14:21,367 --> 00:14:22,967
and even to Pagani car.
345
00:14:22,967 --> 00:14:25,166
[Marcos] Pagani is like
art on wheels.
346
00:14:25,166 --> 00:14:26,166
[Bill] Absolutely, man.
347
00:14:26,166 --> 00:14:27,500
It's kinda like what you do.
348
00:14:27,500 --> 00:14:30,200
This is basically,
built on the hyper car.
349
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:31,467
-[Bill] Definitely, man.
-[engine revving]
350
00:14:31,467 --> 00:14:33,000
So, what you got going on
on the shop, Bill?
351
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,700
Man, we actually
got a Ferrari.
352
00:14:34,700 --> 00:14:36,000
-An F430.
-[Marcos] Nice.
353
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,000
[Bill] Totally custom
front bumper, one off.
354
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:39,467
So, now you're
working on an exotic.
355
00:14:39,467 --> 00:14:41,667
Some black cars and coffee,
they give you
some inspiration.
356
00:14:41,667 --> 00:14:43,000
Yeah, man, yeah.
357
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:44,200
So, what else
have you got going on?
358
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,300
[Bill] We got a really cool
GTO we're working on,
359
00:14:46,300 --> 00:14:50,467
totally custom, I mean,
every part and piece
has all been touched.
360
00:14:50,467 --> 00:14:52,367
We got it all stripped down
right now.
361
00:14:52,367 --> 00:14:53,800
We got a new frame built,
362
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,700
mounted a brand new
LT4 engine and trans,
363
00:14:56,700 --> 00:14:59,900
and this V8 should be getting
about 650 horsepower.
364
00:14:59,900 --> 00:15:02,367
Now, we can get moving
on our custom suspension.
365
00:15:02,367 --> 00:15:05,567
And let me guess, that thing
is gonna be low to the ground.
366
00:15:05,567 --> 00:15:06,900
-[Bill] Absolutely.
-Yeah, for sure.
367
00:15:06,900 --> 00:15:08,200
-[Bill] I didn't even
have to say that.
-[laughs]
368
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,100
[Bill] Once we finish
this suspension,
369
00:15:10,100 --> 00:15:13,767
we're gonna move on to
building this unique one off
engine bay.
370
00:15:13,767 --> 00:15:15,667
Then, we can
get it off the blast.
371
00:15:15,667 --> 00:15:18,367
When it comes back,
there's gonna be a ton
of bodywork,
372
00:15:18,367 --> 00:15:20,400
and a full custom interior
and paint,
373
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,700
wheels, tires and a whole lot
more work to do after that.
374
00:15:23,700 --> 00:15:25,900
Man, I'm sure after you guys
get done with it.
375
00:15:25,900 --> 00:15:28,300
And there's gonna be
a really really unique piece,
376
00:15:28,300 --> 00:15:29,767
like everything
that you guys do,
377
00:15:29,767 --> 00:15:31,567
keep that motivation going in.
378
00:15:31,567 --> 00:15:33,200
I got a little surprise
for you.
379
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:34,767
You ain't driving
your truck today.
380
00:15:34,767 --> 00:15:36,700
I want you to drive
a Ferrari today.
381
00:15:36,700 --> 00:15:38,467
Man, let's get it.
382
00:15:38,467 --> 00:15:39,433
[car alarm beeping]
383
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:41,767
[engine revving]
384
00:15:50,100 --> 00:15:51,367
[whirring]
385
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,066
Now, we have
the custom chassis built,
386
00:15:58,066 --> 00:15:59,400
and mounted on the GTO.
387
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,667
Today is the day,
Ryan's getting started
on the suspension.
388
00:16:02,667 --> 00:16:06,967
So, we got our
Wilwood spindles and brakes in
and everything today.
389
00:16:06,967 --> 00:16:09,000
We're getting it leveled,
making sure my spindles
are level,
390
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:10,700
my tire rod end is level,
391
00:16:10,700 --> 00:16:13,567
get it centered exactly where
we want it to be.
392
00:16:13,567 --> 00:16:15,667
See where my wheels turn.
393
00:16:15,667 --> 00:16:17,333
It's a good looking wheel.
I like it.
394
00:16:18,667 --> 00:16:20,667
I got this little
half-by-half right here,
395
00:16:20,667 --> 00:16:22,467
and tack it in to place.
396
00:16:22,467 --> 00:16:23,800
Make a little mock up.
397
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,800
And just like that,
now we have this point
to this point,
398
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,800
and we know exactly
where it needs to be
399
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:33,500
to have that wheel centered
and the spindle
in the right spot.
400
00:16:33,500 --> 00:16:35,166
So, we got to arm up the car.
401
00:16:35,166 --> 00:16:36,634
First thing is first...
402
00:16:37,300 --> 00:16:38,934
to tack these guys here.
403
00:16:39,667 --> 00:16:41,600
Now that this
is all tacked in place,
404
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,266
what I'm doing now is just
drawing me some lines.
405
00:16:44,266 --> 00:16:47,800
That way I can pull
all my measurements
off of all this right here.
406
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,467
That way whenever I do
my driver's side,
407
00:16:50,467 --> 00:16:51,667
I can duplicate it.
408
00:16:51,667 --> 00:16:53,567
I cut this stuff up,
409
00:16:53,567 --> 00:16:55,166
put my new balls joint cup on.
410
00:16:55,166 --> 00:16:57,300
That's now all cut up
and dinged up and everything.
411
00:16:57,300 --> 00:16:59,166
And I start making my arms.
412
00:17:15,500 --> 00:17:17,166
Man, the control arms
came out really nice.
413
00:17:17,166 --> 00:17:19,467
I like the way it looks
with that roll pipe like that.
414
00:17:19,467 --> 00:17:21,500
Way better
than just straight run.
415
00:17:21,500 --> 00:17:22,767
- Normal stuff.
-[Dustin] Yeah.
416
00:17:22,767 --> 00:17:24,567
Now, the lower is in,
we got it set up,
417
00:17:24,567 --> 00:17:26,467
we can start working
on the upper control arm.
418
00:17:26,467 --> 00:17:28,834
[machine whirring]
419
00:17:34,166 --> 00:17:36,400
[Ryan] So, I got the upper
control arm bolted in
right now,
420
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,000
got our upper and lowers done.
421
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:39,867
Already got it mirrored
to on the table.
422
00:17:39,867 --> 00:17:42,300
So, ww can jump
on the other side
and start doing that,
423
00:17:42,300 --> 00:17:45,734
knock the steering out and get
all the rest of this stuff
done up here in the front.
424
00:17:50,767 --> 00:17:53,166
[Bill] On bigger builds,
like the '68 GTO,
425
00:17:53,166 --> 00:17:56,166
I consider every step forward
a big step.
426
00:17:56,166 --> 00:17:59,467
And right now,
we're almost done
with the front suspension.
427
00:17:59,467 --> 00:18:03,166
The last little part
of the front suspension
is mounting the coil over,
428
00:18:03,166 --> 00:18:05,967
so we got our control arms
notch style,
429
00:18:05,967 --> 00:18:07,567
we got our thick wall DOMs,
430
00:18:07,567 --> 00:18:10,567
so we're gonna place this,
weld it in the arm itself,
431
00:18:10,567 --> 00:18:13,367
then our coil over will have
a place to mount to.
432
00:18:13,367 --> 00:18:15,166
So, these washers in here,
433
00:18:15,166 --> 00:18:17,367
stimulate our pullover width,
434
00:18:17,367 --> 00:18:20,066
welded all in place,
slipped all thread out,
435
00:18:20,066 --> 00:18:23,400
and we got our place
for our coil over to mount
on the lower control arm.
436
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,400
[Dustin] Now, we're gonna move
on to our upper mount,
437
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,567
and that's gonna go
on the top of the frame.
438
00:18:27,567 --> 00:18:29,300
We'll have it come over
a little bit,
439
00:18:29,300 --> 00:18:32,300
so that our coil over spring
never rubs or impedes
440
00:18:32,300 --> 00:18:34,767
throughout the travel
of our suspension.
441
00:18:34,767 --> 00:18:37,066
We'll get some tap drawn up,
442
00:18:37,066 --> 00:18:39,567
transfer that to metal,
come and try it out.
443
00:18:39,567 --> 00:18:42,166
[machine whirring]
444
00:18:42,166 --> 00:18:44,667
[Dustin] So, I got all
our tabs cut out
on the bandsaw
445
00:18:44,667 --> 00:18:45,900
which is all done by hand.
446
00:18:45,900 --> 00:18:48,066
So, there's little differences
between everyone.
447
00:18:48,066 --> 00:18:50,567
So, I went ahead
and stack them
all up on the table,
448
00:18:50,567 --> 00:18:53,400
clamp them down, and then,
I'd dub them all
at the same time,
449
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,667
so that they're all identical
whenever we go to put them
on the car,
450
00:18:56,667 --> 00:18:58,867
even though they're handmade,
hand built,
451
00:18:58,867 --> 00:19:00,800
they'll still be
all identical.
452
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:04,500
We got our template
with our hole location in it.
453
00:19:04,500 --> 00:19:07,266
We're gonna put that on here,
center punch every piece,
454
00:19:07,266 --> 00:19:10,600
and then drill those
to five eighths for our bolts
on our coil overs.
455
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,667
[machine whirring]
456
00:19:12,667 --> 00:19:15,066
I'm just stepping up the sizes
as I go.
457
00:19:26,567 --> 00:19:28,867
[Dustin] We got our upper
coil over brackets cut out,
458
00:19:28,867 --> 00:19:30,400
cleaned up looking nice.
459
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,000
We're gonna
get them on the frame,
see how everything fits.
460
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:34,467
[machine whirring]
461
00:19:34,467 --> 00:19:36,166
[Bill] We got
the control arms done,
462
00:19:36,166 --> 00:19:37,500
pull overs mounted.
463
00:19:37,500 --> 00:19:39,433
Front Suspension is a wrap.
464
00:19:50,266 --> 00:19:52,967
We've been bagging cars
for about 30 years now.
465
00:19:52,967 --> 00:19:56,166
But this is the first time
we ever run airlines
on Ferrari.
466
00:19:56,166 --> 00:19:59,867
And this is part
of the challenge and the fun
of working on this thing.
467
00:19:59,867 --> 00:20:01,600
[Ryan] All right,
so we got the pan rack.
468
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,767
I'm just gonna put
the tank, compressors,
469
00:20:04,767 --> 00:20:07,367
the manifold, everything,
get it all bolted down.
470
00:20:07,367 --> 00:20:08,867
[machine whirring]
471
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,166
Looks good,
time to throw it in the car.
472
00:20:15,300 --> 00:20:18,767
So, I got my tran.
I'm gonna run my
electrical through right now.
473
00:20:18,767 --> 00:20:23,200
Putting the tape there,
so I can mark my holes
where they need to be drilled
474
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,467
instead of marking
a black mark on black carpet.
475
00:20:26,467 --> 00:20:28,533
Probably, one of the best
ideas I've ever had.
476
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:30,734
[machine whirring]
477
00:20:34,767 --> 00:20:36,100
Time to do some airlines now.
478
00:20:36,100 --> 00:20:37,500
It's a cool part.
479
00:20:37,500 --> 00:20:40,200
I just get like a rough
measurement of the route
that I wanna go,
480
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:41,867
and start bending.
481
00:20:41,867 --> 00:20:43,166
If I like it, keep it,
482
00:20:43,166 --> 00:20:45,767
move on to the next one.
483
00:20:45,767 --> 00:20:48,667
Whenever you open this,
the first thing they're gonna
look at is the lines.
484
00:20:48,667 --> 00:20:51,367
So, if you just got a bunch
of plastic line
thrown in there,
485
00:20:51,367 --> 00:20:53,367
it's just gonna ruin
the whole look of it.
486
00:20:53,367 --> 00:20:55,567
And doing a hard line
is a really slick idea.
487
00:20:55,567 --> 00:20:58,400
But you can mess that up, too.
488
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:02,467
You can start somewhere
and kind of have a good idea
of what you want,
489
00:21:02,467 --> 00:21:04,967
but what you think is gonna
work is not gonna work.
490
00:21:04,967 --> 00:21:07,100
And you got to scrap it
and start all over.
491
00:21:07,100 --> 00:21:08,700
Really, it's just aesthetics,
492
00:21:08,700 --> 00:21:11,400
kind of trying to continue
the look of whatever
493
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,467
you are building at the time.
494
00:21:13,467 --> 00:21:15,567
Trying to find a good groove
to get in.
495
00:21:15,567 --> 00:21:17,266
And once you get into that,
496
00:21:17,266 --> 00:21:20,200
and everything just seems
to kind of start falling
in place.
497
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:21,900
So, I got
all the airlines done,
498
00:21:21,900 --> 00:21:25,166
coming from my manifold
up to the bulkhead
on the firewall,
499
00:21:25,166 --> 00:21:26,367
looks really clean.
500
00:21:26,367 --> 00:21:29,767
Got their logo,
got all the Ferrari stuff
in here.
501
00:21:29,767 --> 00:21:32,667
Nice little display,
whenever he pops
the hood open.
502
00:21:32,667 --> 00:21:35,300
All I got to do is just
plug up my accessory wire,
503
00:21:35,300 --> 00:21:37,800
put air in the bags,
make sure they don't
have any leaks.
504
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:39,166
And we get this thing
on the road.
505
00:21:39,166 --> 00:21:40,233
You ready for this?
506
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:46,667
[exclaims] Woo-hoo!
507
00:21:46,667 --> 00:21:48,300
Man, this thing
is good to go now.
508
00:21:48,300 --> 00:21:51,567
It can handle
all the roads and driveways,
509
00:21:51,567 --> 00:21:52,667
and anything else.
510
00:21:52,667 --> 00:21:54,266
And it will look cool
doing it.
511
00:22:13,367 --> 00:22:15,867
[Jamie] You can see somebody
has already fixed this.
512
00:22:15,867 --> 00:22:17,867
These things are super low
to the ground.
513
00:22:17,867 --> 00:22:20,400
That's how you shove across
couple of sidewalks.
514
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:21,667
But now, we're not
gonna have that problem
515
00:22:21,667 --> 00:22:23,533
with the suspension
being adjustable.
516
00:22:23,767 --> 00:22:24,700
Drill.
517
00:22:24,700 --> 00:22:26,066
[machine whirring]
518
00:22:26,066 --> 00:22:28,867
After being around all those
Ferraris with Marcos,
519
00:22:28,867 --> 00:22:32,867
I got to thinking about
the best ways to changing up
that front bumper.
520
00:22:32,867 --> 00:22:34,467
We want something
really, really cool.
521
00:22:34,467 --> 00:22:37,467
So, I'm gonna have Jamie
make the lift out of aluminum,
522
00:22:37,467 --> 00:22:39,400
and make it a lot
more aggressive.
523
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,700
Okay, so I've got skid pans
taken off now.
524
00:22:41,700 --> 00:22:45,600
Next I need to get my
dimension for where our
skid plate is gonna go
525
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:46,934
for the front
that we're making.
526
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,667
Once I get that cut out,
we got to sand this edge...
527
00:22:50,667 --> 00:22:52,000
[machine whirring]
528
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,033
[Jamie] ...put it up on my
jack stand right here.
529
00:22:58,567 --> 00:23:00,467
So, I'm gonna put these
in the corner real quick,
you know,
530
00:23:00,467 --> 00:23:03,266
real sharp, it's about
the same height as my eyes.
531
00:23:03,266 --> 00:23:05,166
So, Bill's got this mocked up
right here real quick.
532
00:23:05,166 --> 00:23:08,400
We'll use the pieces
that we cut off the bottom
of the factory bumper
533
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:09,900
for our template to trace.
534
00:23:09,900 --> 00:23:12,834
Som Jamie is about
to cut this out, and then,
we'll see how it fits.
535
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,767
[machine whirring]
536
00:23:15,767 --> 00:23:19,166
Putting some dish soap
on here actually helps
when you're cutting aluminum
537
00:23:19,166 --> 00:23:20,667
because aluminum gets hot.
538
00:23:20,667 --> 00:23:22,667
This will make it not kick up
on your blades.
539
00:23:22,667 --> 00:23:24,367
So, you know,
it's got multiple purposes.
540
00:23:24,367 --> 00:23:27,467
Clean the dishes, you can
cut aluminum, wash ducts,
541
00:23:27,467 --> 00:23:29,066
you know, it does it all.
542
00:23:29,066 --> 00:23:32,300
[machine whirring]
543
00:23:32,300 --> 00:23:35,367
You know, you can't really
put this piece of aluminum
underneath the car.
544
00:23:35,367 --> 00:23:36,266
This is all wavy.
545
00:23:36,266 --> 00:23:38,900
So, we're gonna screw
this aluminum tubing,
546
00:23:38,900 --> 00:23:41,333
it's extruded,
so it's perfectly straight.
547
00:23:45,500 --> 00:23:47,200
Let's see if that works.
548
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:48,867
I'm gonna take his,
put it underneath the car,
549
00:23:48,867 --> 00:23:52,700
and that should be a nice
straight edge to build
everything off of.
550
00:23:52,700 --> 00:23:54,100
We're about
to attempt to do this.
551
00:23:54,100 --> 00:23:57,467
I've never cut
a Ferrari bumper all up.
552
00:23:57,467 --> 00:23:59,100
I don't know
what's behind this.
553
00:23:59,100 --> 00:24:01,467
I don't know
the inner workings
of the framework.
554
00:24:01,467 --> 00:24:03,867
My thought process
is cut this up,
555
00:24:03,867 --> 00:24:05,734
and then figure it out
along the way.
556
00:24:06,867 --> 00:24:09,333
I'm really excited about
cutting a Ferrari bumper.
557
00:24:10,367 --> 00:24:11,433
[sighs wearily]
558
00:24:13,567 --> 00:24:14,667
Well, the reason
we're doing it this way
559
00:24:14,667 --> 00:24:16,467
is 'cause we don't get
very many Ferraris in here.
560
00:24:16,467 --> 00:24:18,000
We don't have
a template for this.
561
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,867
Shoot. That's most
stuff we do.
562
00:24:20,867 --> 00:24:22,767
You know,
you have that general idea,
563
00:24:22,767 --> 00:24:24,667
but one idea
feeds on the other,
564
00:24:24,667 --> 00:24:26,867
and then you eventually
connect all the dots,
565
00:24:26,867 --> 00:24:28,667
and something special
will come out on the end.
566
00:24:28,667 --> 00:24:31,500
I'd say we're past
the point of no return.
567
00:24:31,500 --> 00:24:32,600
[machine whirring]
568
00:24:34,967 --> 00:24:37,900
All right,
everything looks good,
it's all symmetrical.
569
00:24:37,900 --> 00:24:41,000
Now we can actually start
bringing Bill's idea to life.
570
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:42,367
So, the most
important thing is,
571
00:24:42,367 --> 00:24:44,834
now I can say,
I cut up a Ferrari bumper.
572
00:24:49,667 --> 00:24:52,934
Anytime we're creating
something we've never
done before,
573
00:24:52,934 --> 00:24:55,567
like a whole new lip
for the bumper of the Ferrari,
574
00:24:55,567 --> 00:24:57,467
it takes a whole team
to figure it out.
575
00:24:57,467 --> 00:25:00,133
And that's definitely
true today.
576
00:25:00,133 --> 00:25:02,867
I wanna give the bumper
a little more squared look
at the bottom,
577
00:25:02,867 --> 00:25:05,767
and there's nothing there
to attach this aluminum to.
578
00:25:05,767 --> 00:25:08,266
So, I'm gonna make
a quick little template.
579
00:25:09,567 --> 00:25:13,467
We'll transfer this template
on to fiberglass.
580
00:25:13,467 --> 00:25:14,667
[machine whirring]
581
00:25:14,667 --> 00:25:17,500
Then we can
bolt the fiberglass
to the aluminum,
582
00:25:17,500 --> 00:25:19,567
then we'll start molding
the fiberglass
583
00:25:19,567 --> 00:25:21,934
that's on the aluminum
to the bumper itself.
584
00:25:22,734 --> 00:25:24,300
So, now,
we have our base here.
585
00:25:24,300 --> 00:25:27,667
Our fiberglass laid out
right where we want it.
586
00:25:27,667 --> 00:25:29,467
[Jamie] We can't just
put the wild west
right to the paint.
587
00:25:29,467 --> 00:25:31,600
You got to add some
for the fiberglass
to adhere to,
588
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,000
so gonna make
this nice edge rough,
589
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:35,867
so we can put
fiberglass on it,
smooth it on out.
590
00:25:35,867 --> 00:25:37,834
Now, grab that side
and help me throw it up here.
591
00:25:38,500 --> 00:25:40,200
Cleve, move.
592
00:25:45,734 --> 00:25:48,567
[Bill] I think we're gonna
leave these air
and take pieces
593
00:25:48,567 --> 00:25:51,200
because the radiators
for the car is actually
right here,
594
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:52,967
so we can't
restrict this at all.
595
00:25:52,967 --> 00:25:56,300
Establishing what that opening
is gonna look like is gonna be
the first step.
596
00:25:56,300 --> 00:26:00,300
Then I'm gonna have
John Burgess cut out
some acrylic trim pieces,
597
00:26:00,300 --> 00:26:03,166
and then we're gonna
incorporate the trim pieces
into the bumper
598
00:26:03,166 --> 00:26:05,600
and build out from that.
599
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,767
[John] Oh, well, you know,
it's never a dull moment
at shop.
600
00:26:07,767 --> 00:26:09,600
Come over here,
you can find cars cut in half
601
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,266
or you can find a Ferrari
with the front end
cut off of it.
602
00:26:12,266 --> 00:26:15,033
I got a template.
I can see I've got
some parts to make.
603
00:26:15,033 --> 00:26:17,467
So, we're gonna
get on the computer
and do some drawing.
604
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:19,867
I've got to make a ring,
605
00:26:19,867 --> 00:26:23,967
and the purpose of this ring
is somewhere to hold
mesh grill,
606
00:26:23,967 --> 00:26:25,834
and have somewhere
to bodywork, too.
607
00:26:25,834 --> 00:26:27,867
First thing we'll do is take
a picture of this,
608
00:26:27,867 --> 00:26:29,400
and put it into the software,
609
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:30,867
draw over top of it.
610
00:26:30,867 --> 00:26:34,166
That way
we'll be able to take it,
size it to make rings, plugs,
611
00:26:34,166 --> 00:26:35,367
any part we need.
612
00:26:35,367 --> 00:26:36,467
Everything is good to go,
613
00:26:36,467 --> 00:26:39,200
so we get some quarter inch
acrylic into the machine.
614
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,734
We got to focus
the laser beams.
615
00:26:42,934 --> 00:26:44,467
All right, we're ready to cut.
616
00:26:44,867 --> 00:26:46,166
And go.
617
00:26:48,467 --> 00:26:50,433
Look at her go, man.
618
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,734
Ferrari bumpers in the making.
619
00:26:56,567 --> 00:26:57,934
[machine beeps]
620
00:26:58,934 --> 00:27:00,133
Microwave is ready.
621
00:27:02,667 --> 00:27:04,200
All right.
So, these will work.
622
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:05,867
I'm gonna take some glue,
glue 'em together,
623
00:27:05,867 --> 00:27:07,600
that's gonna leave us
a lip in here
624
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,367
to be able to inset
our grill mesh.
625
00:27:10,367 --> 00:27:12,000
So, we'll get these
over to the car.
626
00:27:16,133 --> 00:27:18,033
[Bill] You know, John made me
a cool little template.
627
00:27:18,033 --> 00:27:20,567
We vise gripped it right here
and vise gripped it
right here.
628
00:27:20,567 --> 00:27:22,367
We're gonna get
our outer dimensions,
629
00:27:22,367 --> 00:27:25,934
and then we got a nice clean
crisp cut mark for it.
630
00:27:25,934 --> 00:27:29,000
So, now that Bill and I have
got the outer edge
scrubbed out,
631
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,266
I'm gonna go ahead
and start cutting this out.
632
00:27:31,266 --> 00:27:34,467
Get this piece removed,
so we can start bottoming
our new outline on here
633
00:27:34,467 --> 00:27:36,767
to get to shape
this front bumper.
634
00:27:36,767 --> 00:27:39,266
This is actually how
the bumper mounts right here.
635
00:27:39,266 --> 00:27:41,266
So, I might have to recess
these pieces,
636
00:27:42,133 --> 00:27:43,600
then we'll build it off that.
637
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,467
[machine whirring]
638
00:27:45,467 --> 00:27:47,867
[Jamie] It's starting
to take shape.
I can see the frame.
639
00:27:47,867 --> 00:27:50,467
That's where our mesh is gonna
go once we get our mesh on.
640
00:27:50,467 --> 00:27:52,767
There's gonna be
plenty of air here,
still have a guard over,
641
00:27:52,767 --> 00:27:54,000
so nothing but the radiator.
642
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:55,667
And it's gonna look
a whole lot better,
643
00:27:55,667 --> 00:27:57,233
like you ain't seen
one of these look.
644
00:28:05,100 --> 00:28:07,667
We finished up the front
suspension on the GTO.
645
00:28:07,667 --> 00:28:09,734
Now, it's time
to move to the rear.
646
00:28:09,734 --> 00:28:11,467
[Ryan] All right,
so we got our rear end in.
647
00:28:11,467 --> 00:28:13,066
We got it mocked up,
it's centered,
648
00:28:13,066 --> 00:28:14,734
it's exactly where
we needed to be
649
00:28:14,734 --> 00:28:17,033
in order to start building
our suspension.
650
00:28:17,033 --> 00:28:19,367
We like to use these tabs
because I can level it.
651
00:28:19,367 --> 00:28:20,467
I can put it straight down.
652
00:28:20,467 --> 00:28:22,934
I can put it out in different
angle if I wanted to.
653
00:28:22,934 --> 00:28:24,867
So, starting off with it here,
654
00:28:24,867 --> 00:28:27,200
and then we can take
our measurements from here,
655
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,734
the frame rail
for our link bar.
656
00:28:31,300 --> 00:28:34,200
[machine whirring]
657
00:28:47,767 --> 00:28:48,934
That's one.
658
00:28:48,934 --> 00:28:53,400
Now, let's do that
three more times.
659
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,567
So, these are to use
the right hand
and a left hand,
660
00:28:55,567 --> 00:28:57,200
threaded heim here.
661
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,767
Let's say, you can have your
adjustment in your four link
662
00:28:59,767 --> 00:29:01,767
without having
to take your bolts out,
663
00:29:01,767 --> 00:29:04,000
and do like all that
whole extra step.
664
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,367
This allows you to just
bust that jam nut loose,
665
00:29:06,367 --> 00:29:08,667
and then you can adjust it
whichever way you need.
666
00:29:08,667 --> 00:29:11,467
So, man, this will have a ton
of adjustment in it.
667
00:29:11,467 --> 00:29:15,166
This is ideal for doing
this stuff, like, right here.
668
00:29:15,166 --> 00:29:18,266
We're gonna drill some
holes through the frame
for some frame mounts.
669
00:29:18,266 --> 00:29:19,467
[machine whirring]
670
00:29:19,467 --> 00:29:22,266
[Ryan] The reason that we got
to DOM in here with all thread
671
00:29:22,266 --> 00:29:26,033
is to ensure that our
two mounting points,
672
00:29:26,033 --> 00:29:28,667
and the tabs,
everything lines up.
673
00:29:28,667 --> 00:29:30,166
I'm gonna draw
two lines on there,
674
00:29:30,166 --> 00:29:32,066
and it tell us exactly where
we need to put our tabs,
675
00:29:32,066 --> 00:29:33,834
probably lowers
and our outers.
676
00:29:33,834 --> 00:29:35,467
We can line 'em up,
square 'em,
677
00:29:35,467 --> 00:29:37,333
and they're right on the line,
they're perfect.
678
00:29:46,567 --> 00:29:48,667
All right, so now that we got
the four links finished up,
679
00:29:48,667 --> 00:29:49,767
We got our tabs,
680
00:29:49,767 --> 00:29:51,667
we're gonna add
a crossmember in here.
681
00:29:51,667 --> 00:29:52,867
We're gonna take
some measurements,
682
00:29:52,867 --> 00:29:54,367
we'll cut some pipe,
clean it up,
683
00:29:54,367 --> 00:29:57,834
make some bends,
and hopefully we can make
that match right on the money.
684
00:29:59,166 --> 00:30:01,900
[machine whirring]
685
00:30:08,467 --> 00:30:10,567
[Ryan] So, the reason why we
draw the level on here,
686
00:30:10,567 --> 00:30:12,467
'cause if we just
put that in there,
687
00:30:12,467 --> 00:30:14,567
and it's hanging like that
and I just go bend it,
688
00:30:14,567 --> 00:30:16,567
then your bends
are gonna be way off.
689
00:30:16,567 --> 00:30:18,967
Nothing will line up,
it'll look bad.
690
00:30:18,967 --> 00:30:20,367
We don't want that.
691
00:30:20,367 --> 00:30:22,867
So, we use our level here.
692
00:30:22,867 --> 00:30:25,133
And then, whenever
you've bend this side,
693
00:30:25,133 --> 00:30:26,934
it shouldn't have any issues.
694
00:30:34,367 --> 00:30:36,600
I got this in here,
and now we got it bent.
695
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,000
I got some marks made here
with the soapstone.
696
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:40,066
I got it kind of level,
697
00:30:40,066 --> 00:30:41,867
just kind of eyeballed it
and got it pretty close.
698
00:30:41,867 --> 00:30:43,967
So, I'm gonna have to trim
again one more time.
699
00:30:43,967 --> 00:30:45,367
[machine whirring]
700
00:30:45,367 --> 00:30:47,667
[Ryan] And then we could
do our final cleanup
and adjustments,
701
00:30:47,667 --> 00:30:49,000
and get it tacked in.
702
00:30:50,767 --> 00:30:53,133
All right, so we got
our center crossmember
tacked in,
703
00:30:53,133 --> 00:30:56,166
it flows into our
existing pipe that
we already had there.
704
00:30:56,166 --> 00:30:57,567
Looks good, everything flows.
705
00:30:57,567 --> 00:30:59,300
It's gonna clear
our drive shaft.
706
00:30:59,300 --> 00:31:01,033
It's gonna clear the rear end
over here.
707
00:31:01,033 --> 00:31:03,734
And tubs, and the floor,
everything, it's all good.
708
00:31:03,734 --> 00:31:05,133
I like the way it looks.
709
00:31:13,133 --> 00:31:14,033
[Bill] You know,
a lot of times,
710
00:31:14,033 --> 00:31:15,967
we go with air suspension
on our builds,
711
00:31:15,967 --> 00:31:18,500
but it really depends on what
the customer wants.
712
00:31:18,500 --> 00:31:21,600
So, we're going with
coil overs on the '68 GTO
713
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,233
because that's what the owners
prefer on this build.
714
00:31:24,233 --> 00:31:26,266
The only thing is we don't
have enough room.
715
00:31:26,266 --> 00:31:28,367
We got the perfect place
for the coil over,
716
00:31:28,367 --> 00:31:31,367
but it's not a perfect place
because there's
no room for it.
717
00:31:31,367 --> 00:31:34,100
The floor pan of the car,
we need to cut out that,
718
00:31:34,100 --> 00:31:36,667
and give us the room we need
for the coil overs.
719
00:31:40,467 --> 00:31:43,400
The last of the pipe
in the hole shot
720
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,800
that we found
and had to clean it up, so.
721
00:31:47,467 --> 00:31:48,800
We can't mess up.
722
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,133
-Hit that button right there.
-That one?
723
00:31:54,133 --> 00:31:55,467
You can say you did
something today.
724
00:31:55,467 --> 00:31:56,867
[Dustin] I did
something today.
725
00:31:56,867 --> 00:31:58,333
I bet a piece of pie.
726
00:32:00,233 --> 00:32:02,433
[machine whirring]
727
00:32:04,667 --> 00:32:05,734
Tack it up.
728
00:32:09,300 --> 00:32:11,266
-Good job there, buddy.
-Thanks.
729
00:32:11,266 --> 00:32:14,600
[Bill] This is basically gonna
hold the whole weight
of the rear of the car,
730
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,600
so it's gotta be super strong.
731
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:18,600
[Dustin] I got some
cabs drawn up here,
732
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:20,867
and these are lower
coil over mounts
733
00:32:20,867 --> 00:32:22,300
that go on our axle.
734
00:32:22,300 --> 00:32:24,266
We're gonna have Jessie
burn 'em out.
735
00:32:24,266 --> 00:32:27,233
A lot faster than me doing it
by hands for sure.
736
00:32:33,300 --> 00:32:36,667
[machine whirring]
737
00:32:36,667 --> 00:32:38,667
So, Jessie got us hooked up
on some bracketry.
738
00:32:38,667 --> 00:32:40,367
We've got our lowers,
we got our upper mount,
739
00:32:40,367 --> 00:32:42,033
all made out
of quarter inch material.
740
00:32:42,033 --> 00:32:44,600
Next thing is just placing it
in the perfect spot.
741
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:46,834
Do a little welding,
that's a wrap.
742
00:32:49,867 --> 00:32:52,166
[Dustin] All right, we got
our lower mounts on the axle.
743
00:32:52,166 --> 00:32:53,266
They're good to go.
744
00:32:53,266 --> 00:32:55,900
Put our coil overs back on
and do the top mount.
745
00:32:59,500 --> 00:33:01,000
Okie dokie!
746
00:33:01,266 --> 00:33:02,634
Got it, man.
747
00:33:04,100 --> 00:33:05,767
[Bill] Now that the suspension
is done,
748
00:33:05,767 --> 00:33:07,500
I'm really getting excited
for what's next.
749
00:33:07,500 --> 00:33:10,266
We're about to fabricate
something in the engine bay
750
00:33:10,266 --> 00:33:12,066
that's completely one of one.
751
00:33:12,066 --> 00:33:15,300
It will really make this build
stand out when you open up
that hood.
752
00:33:15,300 --> 00:33:17,400
Then, it's to body,
and then full paint.
753
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:20,767
John over interior definitely
has his work cut out for him.
754
00:33:20,767 --> 00:33:22,166
By the time it's done,
755
00:33:22,166 --> 00:33:23,767
just about every guy
in the shop
756
00:33:23,767 --> 00:33:25,567
will have put some
time in on this thing,
757
00:33:25,567 --> 00:33:27,533
and it will definitely show.
758
00:33:29,567 --> 00:33:31,367
You know, the Ferrari F430
759
00:33:31,367 --> 00:33:33,467
is gonna get the all
hands-on treatment
760
00:33:33,467 --> 00:33:34,634
just like the GTO.
761
00:33:34,634 --> 00:33:37,767
The custom bumper started out
as a metal fabrication job,
762
00:33:37,767 --> 00:33:39,767
but once we started
cutting that fiberglass,
763
00:33:39,767 --> 00:33:42,233
John jumped in and knew
exactly what to do.
764
00:33:44,266 --> 00:33:46,600
[John] They got the front end
of this car cut wide open,
765
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:48,867
and called me when it's time
to fiberglass stuff together.
766
00:33:48,867 --> 00:33:52,367
So, the first thing I'm gonna
do is take the acrylic rings
that I made,
767
00:33:52,367 --> 00:33:54,667
I'm gonna attach some fleece
to the backside of that.
768
00:33:54,667 --> 00:33:57,667
It's good and stretchy,
so I'm just gonna
get it glued down.
769
00:33:57,667 --> 00:33:59,567
That fleece is gonna
give us something
770
00:33:59,567 --> 00:34:02,133
to create the contour
in the shape that we need,
771
00:34:02,133 --> 00:34:04,233
and it gives us something
to hold our fiberglass.
772
00:34:04,233 --> 00:34:06,467
Gotta make sure I get this
stretched good enough,
773
00:34:06,467 --> 00:34:08,333
so it's not going to sag.
774
00:34:09,767 --> 00:34:12,367
All right, so kind of see
where we're headed.
775
00:34:12,367 --> 00:34:14,834
We'll get that piece where
it needs to be held in place.
776
00:34:14,834 --> 00:34:16,066
Once that's done,
777
00:34:16,066 --> 00:34:17,767
lock it in place
good and solid.
778
00:34:17,767 --> 00:34:19,467
Time to mix the goo.
779
00:34:19,467 --> 00:34:22,767
We're using a fiberglass
reinforced body filler
780
00:34:22,767 --> 00:34:26,266
that will bond
to the fiberglass bumper
and to the acrylic,
781
00:34:26,266 --> 00:34:29,233
so when it's in place,
it will be in place.
782
00:34:31,867 --> 00:34:35,767
So, in order to maintain
the curve in front of the car
and all that geometry,
783
00:34:35,767 --> 00:34:39,133
I'm gonna reuse pieces
that they cut off.
784
00:34:39,133 --> 00:34:41,266
Cut this here on this corner.
785
00:34:41,266 --> 00:34:42,467
Get it match we wanted.
786
00:34:42,467 --> 00:34:45,066
We'll build a fill in all
the way through here.
787
00:34:45,066 --> 00:34:47,934
[machine whirring]
788
00:34:47,934 --> 00:34:51,734
[John] It's pretty important
to make sure you do all your
trim a little at a time,
789
00:34:51,734 --> 00:34:53,567
get everything exactly
where it needs to be.
790
00:34:53,567 --> 00:34:56,000
We need to know that this car
is gonna be symmetrical.
791
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:57,834
[machine whirring]
792
00:34:57,834 --> 00:34:59,500
Once that's done,
I'll get some fiber off,
793
00:34:59,500 --> 00:35:00,867
get 'em locked in place.
794
00:35:00,867 --> 00:35:02,600
Some of that down there.
795
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,567
I've got some foam
that is resistant to chemical.
796
00:35:05,567 --> 00:35:06,734
We'll have to worry
about fiberglass,
797
00:35:06,734 --> 00:35:08,266
anything melting it
or anything like that.
798
00:35:08,266 --> 00:35:10,867
I'm gonna get it in here,
use that as a filler
to bridge the gaps.
799
00:35:10,867 --> 00:35:13,433
Once I get that,
we'll get some
chopped strand mixed up.
800
00:35:13,834 --> 00:35:15,567
A-ha.
801
00:35:15,567 --> 00:35:18,667
Let's do this without
making a huge mess.
802
00:35:18,667 --> 00:35:20,367
I'm filling this in
with chopped strand
803
00:35:20,367 --> 00:35:21,467
was definitely the way to go.
804
00:35:21,467 --> 00:35:22,734
Not only does he fill it in,
805
00:35:22,734 --> 00:35:24,467
but it gives it
a lot of strength.
806
00:35:24,467 --> 00:35:27,166
So we won't have to worry
about any crack out
or anything like that.
807
00:35:27,166 --> 00:35:28,600
You know,
it's not gonna move now,
808
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:32,066
so the next step is get
this ring positioned
where it needs to be.
809
00:35:33,033 --> 00:35:35,300
Ah... Yeah. Like that.
810
00:35:35,300 --> 00:35:38,300
[John] Once that's done,
we're gonna wet this out
with some fiberglass resin.
811
00:35:38,300 --> 00:35:41,400
What that's gonna do
is it's gonna give us
a nice hard solid base.
812
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:44,600
So, once the resin dries,
our parts will be stuck
where they need to be,
813
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:46,867
so we can start laying up
some fiberglass mat.
814
00:35:46,867 --> 00:35:48,533
It will give this
plenty of strength.
815
00:35:51,266 --> 00:35:54,667
I'm gonna let that get good
and dry and nice and strong.
816
00:35:54,667 --> 00:35:57,567
Once that's done,
fill up a couple more spots
on the bumper.
817
00:35:57,567 --> 00:36:01,066
If I can get this in here
without making too big
of a mess.
818
00:36:01,066 --> 00:36:03,166
I like to work
in the tight spots.
819
00:36:03,166 --> 00:36:04,934
And for those of you
following along at home,
820
00:36:04,934 --> 00:36:07,367
that's step 193.
821
00:36:07,367 --> 00:36:10,533
I'm gonna go around, like,
over the top of this
with some filler.
822
00:36:12,100 --> 00:36:14,300
I'm choosing my trusty
razor blade here,
823
00:36:14,300 --> 00:36:15,800
as a piece of sandpaper.
824
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:18,100
It won't hurt the acrylic,
825
00:36:18,100 --> 00:36:21,066
and it keeps these corners
nice and square for me.
826
00:36:23,300 --> 00:36:25,500
And you know,
it was a lot of work
to get to this point,
827
00:36:25,500 --> 00:36:27,166
but turned out
looking pretty good.
828
00:36:27,166 --> 00:36:29,367
So, next stop, body shop.
829
00:36:35,967 --> 00:36:38,934
And that my friend is how
you take off a Ferrari bumper.
830
00:36:53,033 --> 00:36:56,834
Bill and John did a good job
at forming everything for me.
831
00:36:56,834 --> 00:36:59,834
So, it's my turn to go ahead
and beautify everything.
832
00:37:01,166 --> 00:37:03,734
First, I'm gonna
take like 36 grit
833
00:37:03,734 --> 00:37:05,967
to knock down
all the rough edges.
834
00:37:05,967 --> 00:37:07,967
Finish up with 80 grit.
835
00:37:07,967 --> 00:37:09,467
Go straight into blocking.
836
00:37:10,467 --> 00:37:12,166
And primer.
837
00:37:12,166 --> 00:37:14,600
Probably finish off
with a 180.
838
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:16,100
Primer again.
839
00:37:16,100 --> 00:37:17,567
After I get it in the booth,
840
00:37:17,567 --> 00:37:20,333
and get a nice shiny
black Ferrari paint job.
841
00:37:24,734 --> 00:37:26,667
Some shops just focus
on one type of car,
842
00:37:26,667 --> 00:37:29,166
but this shop, you never know
what's coming through
that gate.
843
00:37:29,166 --> 00:37:31,500
Yeah, I'm glad we don't
just do restos
844
00:37:31,500 --> 00:37:34,400
or stick to one certain era
of vehicle.
845
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:36,600
[Jamie] We're always
breaking stuff apart
846
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:39,367
that's brand new
that nobody's taken apart.
847
00:37:39,367 --> 00:37:42,100
One day we're working
on Marcos' Lambo,
848
00:37:42,100 --> 00:37:46,133
and then the next day
we're turning a water truck
into a barbecue pit
849
00:37:46,133 --> 00:37:47,367
with a cooler n the back.
850
00:37:47,367 --> 00:37:49,100
[Jamie] Yeah, and like taking
that old milk truck,
851
00:37:49,100 --> 00:37:50,467
and making a showstopper.
852
00:37:50,467 --> 00:37:52,500
We have like a Lotus
and a Porsche.
853
00:37:52,500 --> 00:37:55,367
[Jamie] We got the Grumman,
the new electric lightning,
854
00:37:55,367 --> 00:37:56,667
you know, the international.
855
00:37:56,667 --> 00:37:59,266
Yeah, it doesn't matter
what it is, new, old.
856
00:37:59,266 --> 00:38:01,767
-And sometimes
we get a Ferrari.
-[Ryan] Yeah.
857
00:38:01,767 --> 00:38:05,934
Being able to get your hands
on all these different types
of vehicles,
858
00:38:05,934 --> 00:38:08,100
you get to see
what they've done.
859
00:38:08,100 --> 00:38:10,333
You can take that
and put it into another build
860
00:38:10,333 --> 00:38:11,567
later on down the road.
861
00:38:11,567 --> 00:38:13,967
No matter what make,
model, year,
862
00:38:13,967 --> 00:38:16,400
you know, we're definitely
gonna find a way
to make it look cool,
863
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:18,400
make it stand out,
make it one-off.
864
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:20,333
Mm-hmm.
Whatever comes to the gate,
865
00:38:21,166 --> 00:38:22,834
-we're all in.
-That's it.
866
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:31,133
The bodywork is done
on the custom bumper
867
00:38:31,133 --> 00:38:32,667
for the Ferrari F430.
868
00:38:32,667 --> 00:38:34,734
So, Patrick is gonna
get it ready for paint.
869
00:38:34,734 --> 00:38:37,100
So, now I'm gonna go ahead
and get the paint mixed.
870
00:38:37,100 --> 00:38:38,367
It's just a regular black,
871
00:38:38,367 --> 00:38:41,033
but it's made by Ferrari,
so it's a little different.
872
00:38:41,033 --> 00:38:44,433
We've got, like,
four different toners in that
color to make this black.
873
00:38:44,433 --> 00:38:46,934
First one is black,
the second one is weak white,
874
00:38:46,934 --> 00:38:48,767
and then you have a yellow
and a red.
875
00:38:48,767 --> 00:38:50,867
So, it's just small amounts
of each color
876
00:38:50,867 --> 00:38:53,066
to complete a black
for the Ferrari.
877
00:38:53,066 --> 00:38:55,033
This black actually
being so dominant,
878
00:38:55,033 --> 00:38:57,567
I won't have to put,
maybe two coats on it.
879
00:39:01,166 --> 00:39:03,600
It's a little bit different
working on a Ferrari bumper.
880
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:05,133
Of course,
it's very expensive,
881
00:39:05,133 --> 00:39:07,266
but it's been
a great adventure for me.
882
00:39:07,266 --> 00:39:09,233
The neat style
and a new concept
883
00:39:09,233 --> 00:39:11,333
that Bill and John
came up with.
884
00:39:11,333 --> 00:39:13,767
So, I'm gonna
make it look real pretty.
885
00:39:13,767 --> 00:39:15,800
Go straight into
the clear coat process.
886
00:39:18,667 --> 00:39:21,333
All right, I've got
my last color clear on.
887
00:39:22,033 --> 00:39:23,467
Looking spectacular.
888
00:39:23,467 --> 00:39:25,066
Everything is proportioned.
889
00:39:25,066 --> 00:39:27,166
Everything has got
a nice glow.
890
00:39:27,166 --> 00:39:29,467
If I let it bake
for a couple hours,
891
00:39:29,467 --> 00:39:31,834
I'll go and get it down
and get it on the Ferrari.
892
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,467
[Bill] The paint is dry,
so now we're gonna
add that mesh,
893
00:39:45,467 --> 00:39:48,066
along with getting the custom
wheels and tires on.
894
00:39:48,066 --> 00:39:49,166
[machine whirring]
895
00:39:52,333 --> 00:39:54,467
You know, customizing
a high-end car like this
896
00:39:54,467 --> 00:39:56,767
definitely comes
with a lot of risk for sure.
897
00:39:56,767 --> 00:39:59,066
But the reward is building
something different
898
00:39:59,066 --> 00:40:00,533
that nobody else has.
899
00:40:03,567 --> 00:40:05,934
-What's up, Ian?
-What's up, Bill?
How is it going?
900
00:40:05,934 --> 00:40:08,266
Man, doing good, man.
What's happening this morning?
901
00:40:08,266 --> 00:40:10,000
Man, I'm excited
to get this car back.
902
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,967
Ian, you know,
when you came in,
you had little problem.
903
00:40:12,967 --> 00:40:15,567
You had a Ferrari F430
904
00:40:15,567 --> 00:40:17,233
just like everybody else's.
905
00:40:17,233 --> 00:40:19,467
You know, everybody
has got one of those.
You wanna be different.
906
00:40:19,467 --> 00:40:20,767
-Right? [laughs]
-[Ian] Right.
907
00:40:20,767 --> 00:40:22,834
Well, me and the guy
has been busy at the shop.
908
00:40:22,834 --> 00:40:23,967
We got you hooked up, man.
909
00:40:23,967 --> 00:40:26,166
Man, I'm excited, Bill,
I'm so ready to see this car.
910
00:40:26,166 --> 00:40:28,467
-I know you've been
waiting while patiently.
-Yeah.
911
00:40:28,467 --> 00:40:30,433
-[Bill] Come on, Ryan.
-[engine revs]
912
00:40:31,934 --> 00:40:33,867
Oh, my God!
913
00:40:33,867 --> 00:40:35,500
Bill, this looks sick.
914
00:40:35,500 --> 00:40:37,066
Are you serious right now?
915
00:40:37,066 --> 00:40:38,867
Look at that
front bumper, man.
916
00:40:38,867 --> 00:40:41,200
-Oh, my God. What?
-[engine revving]
917
00:40:42,667 --> 00:40:44,266
-Oh, man.
-[exclaims] Ooh!
918
00:40:44,266 --> 00:40:46,367
That's like, music
to my ears right there, Bill.
919
00:40:46,367 --> 00:40:49,433
Y'all went way over the top
and, like, killed this thing.
920
00:40:49,433 --> 00:40:51,166
Thanks, man. That is awesome.
921
00:40:51,166 --> 00:40:52,467
-I think he likes it.
-[laughing] Yeah.
922
00:40:52,467 --> 00:40:54,266
-[all laughing]
-I think you're right.
923
00:40:54,266 --> 00:40:55,433
I can't get enough of it.
924
00:40:55,433 --> 00:40:56,600
I don't even know
where to begin.
925
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:58,133
I know when we talked about,
926
00:40:58,133 --> 00:41:01,567
you just wanted like
a front lift to change up
the front end a little bit.
927
00:41:01,567 --> 00:41:03,166
Well, got it in the shop,
928
00:41:03,166 --> 00:41:05,100
started looking at it
a couple of different ways
929
00:41:05,100 --> 00:41:07,266
we could change
some things suddenly.
930
00:41:07,266 --> 00:41:10,667
- But in this case,
subtle went out the window.
-[Ian laughs]
931
00:41:10,667 --> 00:41:14,367
We got after just chopping
the factory bumper totally up.
932
00:41:14,367 --> 00:41:16,233
Made the openings
a lot bigger,
933
00:41:16,233 --> 00:41:17,266
a lot more aggressive.
934
00:41:17,266 --> 00:41:18,567
Put some mesh in there.
935
00:41:18,567 --> 00:41:20,066
So, this
is the factory bumper?
936
00:41:20,066 --> 00:41:21,433
Yeah, it's factory bumper.
937
00:41:21,433 --> 00:41:22,867
[Ian] It looks
completely custom.
938
00:41:22,867 --> 00:41:24,500
[Ryan] If you don't know
what you're looking at,
939
00:41:24,500 --> 00:41:26,367
it just looks like
a regular bumper.
940
00:41:26,367 --> 00:41:28,767
But this thing was in, like,
30 different pieces.
941
00:41:28,767 --> 00:41:30,066
[Ian] That's exactly
why I come to you guys.
942
00:41:30,066 --> 00:41:31,767
Y'all make
factory looking pieces,
943
00:41:31,767 --> 00:41:34,166
but yet they're custom
which sets it apart
from everybody else.
944
00:41:34,166 --> 00:41:36,266
Now, the other Ferrari dude
has gotta compete with you.
945
00:41:36,266 --> 00:41:38,133
[laughing] Exactly, man.
I love that.
946
00:41:38,133 --> 00:41:39,333
It was super cool.
947
00:41:39,333 --> 00:41:41,266
You know, you got the new
wheels and tires on there.
948
00:41:41,266 --> 00:41:43,567
They give this car
a really cool look.
949
00:41:43,567 --> 00:41:46,467
And behind those wheels
and tires is an airbag now.
950
00:41:46,467 --> 00:41:50,934
[Ian] Man, a stance bagged out
Ferrari is awesome.
951
00:41:50,934 --> 00:41:52,367
Man, it gets it down low.
952
00:41:52,367 --> 00:41:54,166
And I'm sure
it's gonna ride well.
953
00:41:54,166 --> 00:41:57,166
And you know, you're gonna be
turning everybody's heads
when you roll in and slam it.
954
00:41:57,166 --> 00:41:59,066
-[laughs]
-It's gonna look
so much cleaner.
955
00:41:59,066 --> 00:42:00,967
[Ian] I love it.
The lowness that it gives,
956
00:42:00,967 --> 00:42:02,467
the aggressiveness
that it gives,
957
00:42:02,467 --> 00:42:04,867
just really sets it apart
from everything
that I've seen.
958
00:42:04,867 --> 00:42:08,500
[Bill] And the advantage
of that also is protecting
this new front bumper.
959
00:42:08,500 --> 00:42:10,667
-You can raise it right up
off the ground.
-Yeah.
960
00:42:10,667 --> 00:42:13,033
-The air struts in there
worked out perfectly.
-Awesome.
961
00:42:13,033 --> 00:42:15,934
Ian, if you're liking that,
you're probably gonna like
underneath the frunk.
962
00:42:15,934 --> 00:42:18,233
-Show 'em what's
underneath the frunk.
-You're gonna like that.
963
00:42:19,867 --> 00:42:22,033
Oh, my gosh!
964
00:42:22,033 --> 00:42:23,667
This is incredible!
965
00:42:23,667 --> 00:42:24,600
[Ryan] Ain't that sick?
966
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:25,967
[Ian] It looks super clean.
967
00:42:25,967 --> 00:42:28,567
Let's put you on, man.
You want some just
thrown in there, right?
968
00:42:28,567 --> 00:42:30,100
[Ian] No, that looks
incredible, guys.
969
00:42:30,100 --> 00:42:32,333
That looks like
it was made for this car.
970
00:42:32,333 --> 00:42:34,367
And then, the little details,
the lines.
971
00:42:34,367 --> 00:42:36,367
-Is that a Ferrari badge?
-[laughs]
972
00:42:36,367 --> 00:42:39,667
Wow! Y'all went
over the top on this?
973
00:42:39,667 --> 00:42:42,000
Yeah, like you said,
we could have just thrown
that stuff in there
974
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,500
and ran the plastic line
that it comes with
and all that.
975
00:42:44,500 --> 00:42:46,667
But honestly,
this is my favorite part.
976
00:42:46,667 --> 00:42:48,667
The reactions are always nice.
977
00:42:48,667 --> 00:42:51,667
You can tell the amount
of work that you
put into this.
978
00:42:51,667 --> 00:42:53,867
It's really a piece of art,
it just looks incredible.
979
00:42:53,867 --> 00:42:55,166
Appreciate that, man.
980
00:42:55,166 --> 00:42:57,600
Customizing the F430 for me
was something that
I wanted to do.
981
00:42:57,600 --> 00:42:59,867
I called a few other shops
and they didn't really
982
00:42:59,867 --> 00:43:01,767
look at the same vision
that I had for it.
983
00:43:01,767 --> 00:43:04,767
When I called Ekstensive,
they knew exactly what
I wanted for this car.
984
00:43:04,767 --> 00:43:06,266
I think y'all knocked it
out of the park.
985
00:43:06,266 --> 00:43:07,867
You definitely got
a one of a kind now.
986
00:43:07,867 --> 00:43:08,967
Straight killed it.
987
00:43:08,967 --> 00:43:11,367
You know, just riding
stock is ain't cool.
988
00:43:11,367 --> 00:43:14,133
And either it'd be
