1
00:00:01,309 --> 00:00:04,143
My car's a 1956 Bel Air
Custom Deluxe.
2
00:00:04,209 --> 00:00:06,209
Looks nice,
but it doesn't go
straight at all.
3
00:00:06,209 --> 00:00:08,610
There's no way you can use
that rear end.
4
00:00:08,610 --> 00:00:11,043
Is that a unique way
to fill a hole?
5
00:00:11,043 --> 00:00:12,343
[man 1] Do you
have the rear seat?
6
00:00:12,410 --> 00:00:14,309
Look at that weld
on the engine support.
7
00:00:14,309 --> 00:00:15,209
We'll have to redo that one.
8
00:00:20,143 --> 00:00:21,143
[man 2] What do y'all think?
9
00:00:23,143 --> 00:00:24,443
[hammering]
10
00:00:24,510 --> 00:00:25,710
[man 3]
That's a lot straighter
than the old one.
11
00:00:28,710 --> 00:00:30,043
[Shorty]
There we are, Junior.
12
00:00:33,343 --> 00:00:36,143
My name is Javier,
but most people
call me Shorty.
13
00:00:36,143 --> 00:00:38,143
I was born in Mexico.
14
00:00:38,143 --> 00:00:43,010
And when I was four years old,
my parents moved to Texas in
search of the American dream.
15
00:00:43,010 --> 00:00:44,777
Now, I'm living that dream
16
00:00:44,777 --> 00:00:47,643
with my own custom shop and
a team that builds the coolest
cars on the road.
17
00:00:53,043 --> 00:00:54,143
We make dreams...
18
00:00:54,209 --> 00:00:55,510
-[man] Wow.
- ...come true.
19
00:00:55,510 --> 00:00:57,043
[crowd cheering]
20
00:01:01,910 --> 00:01:02,910
-Hey, Joel.
-[Joel] Yeah?
21
00:01:02,910 --> 00:01:03,810
We'll go check out
our new build.
22
00:01:08,710 --> 00:01:09,710
Oh, man.
23
00:01:12,143 --> 00:01:14,410
Say, did you pull in a classic
with a classic?
24
00:01:14,410 --> 00:01:16,910
-I had to, bro.
-[Shorty] Damn, that little
truck pull that car good, huh?
25
00:01:16,910 --> 00:01:17,843
Yeah.
26
00:01:17,843 --> 00:01:19,309
-What's up, man?
Doing all right?
-Nice.
27
00:01:19,309 --> 00:01:20,743
My name is Sanders Martinez.
28
00:01:21,610 --> 00:01:25,343
My car is a 1956 Bel Air
Custom Deluxe.
29
00:01:25,410 --> 00:01:27,243
-[man 1] What have
we got here?
-[man 2] A '56.
30
00:01:27,309 --> 00:01:29,743
-'56 convertible
Bel Air. Nice.
-[Shorty] '56 Bel Air.
31
00:01:29,810 --> 00:01:31,610
Well, that looks
pretty nice already.
32
00:01:31,610 --> 00:01:35,043
It looks nice, but it doesn't
go down the road. It doesn't
go straight at all.
33
00:01:35,043 --> 00:01:37,309
Got a bunch of parts
laying around.
34
00:01:37,309 --> 00:01:41,543
Nobody even knows how to put
'em all the way back the right
way except these guys.
35
00:01:41,610 --> 00:01:45,209
From what we talked about, did
you just wanna reassemble it
the way it's supposed to be?
36
00:01:45,209 --> 00:01:49,010
Kinda like a Grease style,
classic-looking car, you know?
Something in between.
37
00:01:49,010 --> 00:01:52,109
-This vato said Grease?
He wants to take it way back.
-Man.
38
00:01:52,109 --> 00:01:55,209
Me and my kids
love the Bel Air.
Especially the '56 era.
39
00:01:55,209 --> 00:01:57,510
'Cause of the movie Grease.
We watch it all the time.
40
00:01:57,510 --> 00:01:59,076
[indistinct]
41
00:01:59,109 --> 00:02:02,743
[Joel] Uh, is that a unique
way to fill a hole, or what's
going on there?
42
00:02:02,810 --> 00:02:05,209
How many times have
we seen that, man?
43
00:02:05,209 --> 00:02:07,843
Well, the question is, have we
seen one from that state?
44
00:02:10,810 --> 00:02:12,143
[Martinez] You guys wanna
check out the rear end?
45
00:02:12,209 --> 00:02:13,510
Let's see what we've got.
46
00:02:13,510 --> 00:02:16,309
-[Shorty] The body is pretty
gnarly underneath there.
-Okay.
47
00:02:16,309 --> 00:02:20,710
[Shorty] Uh, I don't know
if you can see it, but they
used a lot of fiberglass.
48
00:02:20,710 --> 00:02:22,810
[Pete] It's like it's no good.
49
00:02:23,743 --> 00:02:25,309
[man] You need to look
at this rear end, too.
50
00:02:25,309 --> 00:02:27,910
[Shorty] Yeah, there's no way
you can use that rear end.
51
00:02:28,743 --> 00:02:30,209
There's no way.
52
00:02:30,209 --> 00:02:34,610
They wanted to cover up
the holes with fiberglass
instead of metal.
53
00:02:34,610 --> 00:02:37,610
No, we need metal. And right
here, it looks like it has
a hole back there, man.
54
00:02:37,610 --> 00:02:39,309
[Shorty] Yeah,
because, uh,
55
00:02:39,309 --> 00:02:41,810
the patch is coming off.
You see the rivets.
56
00:02:41,810 --> 00:02:44,243
I mean, that rear end is junk.
57
00:02:44,309 --> 00:02:47,410
It's pretty bad. I don't think
we've got one this bad.
58
00:02:48,010 --> 00:02:49,243
The holy grail, Shorty?
59
00:02:49,309 --> 00:02:50,643
This is the holy grail, Joel.
60
00:02:50,710 --> 00:02:53,143
-Oh, you see the gas tank's
still over here?
-[man] Yeah.
61
00:02:53,143 --> 00:02:55,610
-Yeah, we've seen
that before, Sanders.
-[Martinez] Love it.
62
00:02:55,610 --> 00:02:57,309
-You love it?
-I love it.
63
00:02:57,309 --> 00:03:00,610
-Okay, we'll take it out.
-[all laugh]
64
00:03:00,610 --> 00:03:04,543
The good thing is that you
have a lot of the most
important pieces
65
00:03:04,610 --> 00:03:06,843
that people
struggle to find.
66
00:03:06,910 --> 00:03:08,043
-[man 1] Original seats.
-[Martinez] Yep.
67
00:03:08,109 --> 00:03:10,043
-Original seats.
-[man 2] Panels back there.
68
00:03:10,043 --> 00:03:12,543
[Shorty] Yeah,
it looks like you got
a bunch of parts for it.
69
00:03:12,610 --> 00:03:14,710
[Pete] Do you have the rear
seat to the car?
70
00:03:14,710 --> 00:03:16,309
No, I bought those seats
from another car.
71
00:03:16,309 --> 00:03:18,209
-[Pete] One of the hardest
things to find on a car.
-[Joel] Yeah.
72
00:03:18,710 --> 00:03:19,710
Bad-ass.
73
00:03:20,743 --> 00:03:23,143
Should we look at what's
underneath the hood?
74
00:03:23,209 --> 00:03:27,610
The weld's not terrible,
but we're definitely gonna
have to go back over.
75
00:03:27,610 --> 00:03:30,510
Well, now we know
why he towed it. No motor.
76
00:03:30,510 --> 00:03:33,443
Now that puts a lot more work
on Joel's hands.
77
00:03:33,510 --> 00:03:36,143
Look at that weld over there
on the engine support.
78
00:03:36,209 --> 00:03:37,843
We'll have to redo that one.
79
00:03:37,910 --> 00:03:40,209
-[Joel] For sure, man.
-[Pete] Yeah, looks like
popcorn over there.
80
00:03:40,209 --> 00:03:43,010
Hey, Sanders,
I thought you said this
was an easy one to fix.
81
00:03:43,010 --> 00:03:44,943
Well, you know,
to the untrained eye,
it looks easy.
82
00:03:45,010 --> 00:03:46,510
[all laugh]
83
00:03:46,510 --> 00:03:49,143
-It's a beautiful car, man.
-It definitely is gonna be
a beautiful car.
84
00:03:49,209 --> 00:03:50,843
All right. Well, let's get
this thing unloaded, man.
85
00:03:50,910 --> 00:03:52,209
-[Joel] Yeah,
man. Let's do it.
-[man] Let's do this.
86
00:03:57,510 --> 00:03:58,810
[Joel] Let's get it, Junior.
87
00:03:58,810 --> 00:04:01,610
Here, Junior, put this on just
in case it gets dangerous.
88
00:04:01,610 --> 00:04:03,043
All right. I got it.
89
00:04:03,109 --> 00:04:04,910
All right, Junior.
Get in this thing.
90
00:04:04,910 --> 00:04:06,043
Let's go, June Bug.
91
00:04:06,910 --> 00:04:08,843
Come on, June Bug.
92
00:04:08,910 --> 00:04:10,710
-Hey, brother.
There ain't no brakes.
-[Joel] I know.
93
00:04:10,710 --> 00:04:12,910
-Does it have steering?
-[Junior] No.
94
00:04:12,910 --> 00:04:15,109
What? What does it have?
95
00:04:15,109 --> 00:04:16,243
[Junior] Nothing.
96
00:04:16,309 --> 00:04:19,043
Oh. Come on, man.
97
00:04:19,043 --> 00:04:20,410
-Come on.
-[Shorty] Oh, here it comes.
98
00:04:21,810 --> 00:04:23,843
It's coming! It's coming!
99
00:04:23,910 --> 00:04:25,109
I don't got no brakes!
100
00:04:27,010 --> 00:04:28,109
It's bringing me with it!
101
00:04:31,143 --> 00:04:32,943
[Junior] Oh, man.
It wasn't that bad.
102
00:04:33,010 --> 00:04:34,343
[Joel]
'Cause I was holding it.
103
00:04:34,410 --> 00:04:36,610
I thought it was gonna yank me
across that damn trailer.
104
00:04:36,610 --> 00:04:39,043
-[Shorty] I guess
it is heavy, right?
-Oh, it's heavy.
105
00:04:39,043 --> 00:04:41,510
Basically, the plan
totally changed.
106
00:04:41,510 --> 00:04:43,710
So there is no plan
as of right now.
107
00:04:43,710 --> 00:04:47,209
Man, the column is, like,
super loose. I mean,
look at that.
108
00:04:47,209 --> 00:04:49,910
[Shorty] Let's pull this seat
out, Joel, and see what
kinda floor we got.
109
00:04:51,943 --> 00:04:53,076
[Joel groans]
110
00:04:54,143 --> 00:04:56,610
-The main floor,
it doesn't look bad.
-[man] Yeah.
111
00:04:56,610 --> 00:04:58,610
Look at the tubs.
112
00:04:58,610 --> 00:05:01,610
The tubbing on this car,
I don't even know how
to describe it.
113
00:05:01,610 --> 00:05:06,043
Not sure what size tires
people were planning on
putting on this car.
114
00:05:06,043 --> 00:05:08,843
Looks like you can put, like,
a 30-inch tire on here, man.
115
00:05:08,910 --> 00:05:10,710
I mean, the tubs
are this wide.
116
00:05:10,710 --> 00:05:12,610
And check out these welds.
117
00:05:12,610 --> 00:05:14,410
Check out these we--
No, they're not...
118
00:05:14,410 --> 00:05:17,910
Wait a minute.
They're not even welds.
They're rivets, Joel, look.
119
00:05:17,910 --> 00:05:21,910
This is the most gnarly part
of the car back here.
120
00:05:21,910 --> 00:05:24,143
We thought
this car was gonna
be an easy one.
121
00:05:24,209 --> 00:05:27,610
Between the interior,
the frame, the rear end,
122
00:05:27,610 --> 00:05:29,910
the motor,
and everything else,
123
00:05:29,910 --> 00:05:31,343
it has a lot to be done.
124
00:05:31,410 --> 00:05:35,710
Damn. They took the seat that
normally fits four to two.
125
00:05:35,710 --> 00:05:39,810
PG's got his work cut out
for him. He's gonna have
to make a custom seat.
126
00:05:39,810 --> 00:05:41,810
The original seat,
it's not gonna fit.
127
00:05:41,810 --> 00:05:43,309
[Joel] All right. Let's look
at the trunk, man.
128
00:05:44,810 --> 00:05:46,043
-Ooh.
-[Shorty] Whoa.
129
00:05:46,610 --> 00:05:48,309
Let's take all of it out.
130
00:05:48,309 --> 00:05:50,910
You know, this car came in
for reassembly.
131
00:05:50,910 --> 00:05:54,309
But it's gonna
turn into a big build.
132
00:05:54,309 --> 00:05:56,510
Let's figure out what's going
on with the suspension.
133
00:05:56,510 --> 00:05:58,510
'Cause that's kinda funny
how... You see how they cut
134
00:05:58,510 --> 00:06:00,510
this one in the back and
cut this one?
135
00:06:00,510 --> 00:06:01,910
Something ain't
jiving there, man.
136
00:06:01,910 --> 00:06:05,109
Put it in the rack. Let's see
what's going on with the car.
137
00:06:05,109 --> 00:06:07,309
The welds are not solid
at all.
138
00:06:07,309 --> 00:06:10,510
It looks like we're going
to have to do quite an
extensive amount of metalwork,
139
00:06:10,510 --> 00:06:13,209
and then Joel needs the whole
front end pulled off the car
140
00:06:13,209 --> 00:06:14,910
so he can do what he's gotta
do in the front.
141
00:06:15,943 --> 00:06:17,243
[Joel] Look at that.
142
00:06:17,309 --> 00:06:19,043
-What happened?
-[Joel] It's sand.
143
00:06:20,143 --> 00:06:21,743
Somebody blasted it, huh?
144
00:06:21,810 --> 00:06:23,610
Dude, there's a lot
in there, man.
145
00:06:23,610 --> 00:06:27,510
With that breeze going through
here, and that sand, I feel
like I'm at the beach, man.
146
00:06:27,510 --> 00:06:30,043
-You feel like
you're at the beach?
-I feel like I'm at the beach.
147
00:06:34,710 --> 00:06:36,309
[Shorty] Hey, what's up, Joel?
148
00:06:36,309 --> 00:06:41,910
The thing is that what was
told to me and what's here
is two different things.
149
00:06:41,910 --> 00:06:44,910
-We don't even
have these top pieces.
-[Shorty] Oh, the top trims.
150
00:06:44,910 --> 00:06:47,243
So I was looking
at the door panel,
151
00:06:47,309 --> 00:06:51,443
and I'm like, "Man, that's...
That's gonna be a problem."
152
00:06:52,343 --> 00:06:53,743
So this is garbage.
153
00:06:53,810 --> 00:06:57,710
I'm not an interior guy,
but I know that's...
[speaking Spanish]
154
00:06:57,710 --> 00:07:01,543
You kinda want something
kind of interior to this era,
you know what I mean?
155
00:07:01,610 --> 00:07:03,810
More factory
along the lines here,
156
00:07:03,810 --> 00:07:06,309
but here's our biggest
problem, PG.
157
00:07:07,843 --> 00:07:09,910
You're gonna have
to make the seat.
158
00:07:09,910 --> 00:07:12,109
We really haven't looked
at it, looked at it.
159
00:07:12,109 --> 00:07:15,143
So we don't even know what
direction we're gonna go in.
160
00:07:15,143 --> 00:07:19,910
He wants something like
an original look, but custom
at the same time.
161
00:07:19,910 --> 00:07:21,309
-You know what I mean?
-Yeah.
162
00:07:21,309 --> 00:07:24,309
I kinda feel like we need
to use some ABS on the doors,
163
00:07:24,309 --> 00:07:28,309
and give it that stock look
with the modern armrest on it.
164
00:07:28,309 --> 00:07:29,710
-[Joel] I like that.
-Yeah.
165
00:07:29,710 --> 00:07:32,109
These looks like my parachute
pants when I used
to break dance.
166
00:07:32,109 --> 00:07:33,410
-[Joel] You used to break?
-Yeah.
167
00:07:33,410 --> 00:07:34,543
[Shorty] You used to break...
168
00:07:34,610 --> 00:07:36,309
[Shorty] Show me
some moves, man.
169
00:07:36,309 --> 00:07:38,109
-I don't know.
-Come on, man.
I know you still got it.
170
00:07:38,109 --> 00:07:39,910
-All right.
-Come on, PG.
171
00:07:39,910 --> 00:07:42,309
-[Shorty] Come on,
check it out Joel.
-[Joel] Let me see.
172
00:07:42,309 --> 00:07:44,010
I can't, I'm too--
I'm overweight.
173
00:07:44,010 --> 00:07:47,743
Hey, man. Don't hurt to
the interior guy, we gotta
get this damn car done.
174
00:07:47,810 --> 00:07:50,309
-He almost did it, man.
-[Joel] Yeah, he started to.
175
00:07:50,309 --> 00:07:52,143
He sized it up.
I've seen it.
176
00:07:52,143 --> 00:07:53,677
[indistinct]
177
00:07:53,677 --> 00:07:56,910
Hey, we gotta start somewhere,
so let's figure it out
and go from there.
178
00:07:56,910 --> 00:07:58,143
We'll get it done.
179
00:07:58,143 --> 00:08:00,209
All right. In the meantime,
I gotta get the guys
180
00:08:00,209 --> 00:08:03,043
to come over here
and assess the situation
back here, so...
181
00:08:03,109 --> 00:08:04,510
I'm gonna go
and take a lunch.
182
00:08:04,510 --> 00:08:06,843
I'm getting hungry.
You wanna go?
183
00:08:06,910 --> 00:08:09,910
[Joel] Man, that sound good,
man. What you got?
184
00:08:18,209 --> 00:08:20,810
[vehicle creaking]
185
00:08:20,810 --> 00:08:22,276
-[Shorty] You see
that, Charlie?
-[Charlie] Yeah.
186
00:08:23,510 --> 00:08:26,710
Everything that has been done
to the car hasn't been
done to specs.
187
00:08:26,710 --> 00:08:30,710
So now we're gonna have
to redo just about everything.
188
00:08:30,710 --> 00:08:34,143
We're looking at the rear end
and we wanna make sure that
we can get it centered.
189
00:08:34,143 --> 00:08:35,710
To have a good
starting point.
190
00:08:35,710 --> 00:08:38,510
Drop center, if you're
unlevel, you're never
gonna be right.
191
00:08:40,610 --> 00:08:43,710
[Joel] We're walking up on
Charlie. He's finally getting
this rear end outta here.
192
00:08:43,710 --> 00:08:47,043
And this is a nice rim.
This is a nine-inch, you know,
193
00:08:47,043 --> 00:08:50,143
four grand, super styled,
super strong...
194
00:08:50,143 --> 00:08:51,543
Well, it was.
195
00:08:51,543 --> 00:08:53,910
[Shorty] Hey, Joel.
Is this crooked? Or am
I imagining things?
196
00:08:54,743 --> 00:08:56,643
[Joel] Oh, no. That's crooked.
197
00:08:56,710 --> 00:08:58,276
I'll say they got it hot.
198
00:08:58,276 --> 00:09:01,043
-[Shorty] And look, they got
spacers on it, on top of that.
-[Charlie] Ooh.
199
00:09:01,043 --> 00:09:02,510
[Joel] There's no spacer
over here.
200
00:09:02,510 --> 00:09:04,043
-You don't have a spacer
on your side?
-[man] Uh-uh.
201
00:09:04,109 --> 00:09:05,910
[Charlie] So that's
why they're trying--
202
00:09:05,910 --> 00:09:08,443
Oh! To one side?
203
00:09:08,510 --> 00:09:10,243
[laughs] You're right.
204
00:09:10,309 --> 00:09:11,710
[Shorty] Yeah.
205
00:09:11,710 --> 00:09:15,209
At the end of the day,
this rear end is trash
in multiple ways.
206
00:09:15,209 --> 00:09:16,743
It's bent, for one.
207
00:09:16,810 --> 00:09:20,243
The other side of it is that,
you know, its offset is wrong.
208
00:09:20,309 --> 00:09:22,910
Basically, when it got
installed, the brackets
got put in,
209
00:09:22,910 --> 00:09:26,543
it shifted over to the
driver's side and we need it
to be centered.
210
00:09:26,610 --> 00:09:29,343
They thought that this was
actually gonna work?
211
00:09:29,410 --> 00:09:31,710
[Joel] I believe somebody was
gonna try it, Shorty.
212
00:09:32,209 --> 00:09:33,543
Wow.
213
00:09:33,543 --> 00:09:36,710
The drivetrain lined up with
the rear end is very
important.
214
00:09:36,710 --> 00:09:40,610
You wanna keep your wheels
in line with your front wheels
as best as you can.
215
00:09:40,610 --> 00:09:42,710
And this is just...
This is crazy.
216
00:09:42,710 --> 00:09:44,343
[Shorty] We got it out.
We know it's not gonna work.
217
00:09:44,410 --> 00:09:46,810
We're gonna get a new one,
so it doesn't do that.
218
00:09:50,143 --> 00:09:51,677
[machine whirring]
219
00:09:56,143 --> 00:09:58,543
[Joel] We've got
the rear end out,
and, man, it looks bad.
220
00:09:58,610 --> 00:10:00,610
So what
I'm gonna do is call
a buddy of mine.
221
00:10:00,610 --> 00:10:02,610
[Joey] Hey, what up, man?
222
00:10:02,610 --> 00:10:05,610
-Yo, McGrath, my man,
check on this rear end for me.
-Yeah, yeah.
223
00:10:05,610 --> 00:10:09,043
Joey McGrath.
I own Diligent Speed Shop
in Waxahachie, Texas.
224
00:10:09,043 --> 00:10:11,443
And we do
a lot of hot rod stuff.
Anything that goes fast.
225
00:10:11,510 --> 00:10:12,810
[Joel] What do you think?
Get rid of these?
226
00:10:12,810 --> 00:10:14,910
[Joey] I'll cut some new
brackets out on the
plasma table.
227
00:10:14,910 --> 00:10:18,109
Strip all the insides out
of this rim. Get this one
to scrap and we'll
228
00:10:18,109 --> 00:10:19,910
get something set up
that'll actually...
229
00:10:20,309 --> 00:10:21,810
[indistinct]
230
00:10:21,810 --> 00:10:24,510
[Joel] It looks like it got
in a wreck with a train
or something, man.
231
00:10:29,610 --> 00:10:31,643
We're getting down
on this '56 Bel Air.
232
00:10:31,710 --> 00:10:33,243
The paint looks okay,
233
00:10:33,243 --> 00:10:35,810
but there's still interior and
a lot of fabbing that
needs to be done.
234
00:10:35,810 --> 00:10:37,910
Looks like we got
a classic patch panel.
235
00:10:39,309 --> 00:10:41,109
Oklahoma, to be exact.
236
00:10:41,109 --> 00:10:42,043
It's a license plate.
237
00:10:42,610 --> 00:10:45,010
[machine whirring]
238
00:10:59,877 --> 00:11:04,209
In the '56 Bel Air, you know,
they had this little patch
panel over the tunnel here.
239
00:11:04,209 --> 00:11:06,710
So I went ahead
and cut out a piece.
240
00:11:06,777 --> 00:11:09,010
Shaped it similar
to what was already here.
241
00:11:09,010 --> 00:11:11,510
And then
what I'll do is I'll make
a cut with my wheel,
242
00:11:11,510 --> 00:11:15,109
then follow that cut
with a smaller offset.
243
00:11:15,109 --> 00:11:18,109
Then keep that line and gap
real small for where
I'm welding.
244
00:11:18,109 --> 00:11:19,910
It makes a tighter fit.
245
00:11:19,910 --> 00:11:21,943
[machine whirring]
246
00:11:29,443 --> 00:11:32,209
Finished grinding up on
this old patch here we made.
247
00:11:32,209 --> 00:11:35,543
And moving on to holes
all over the floor.
248
00:11:43,510 --> 00:11:45,010
I was driving down the street,
249
00:11:45,010 --> 00:11:47,410
and I happened
just to pass by
a "for sale" sign.
250
00:11:47,410 --> 00:11:49,043
I ended up buying the truck
from the old man.
251
00:11:49,043 --> 00:11:50,510
And I was supposed to be
running errands. So now,
252
00:11:50,510 --> 00:11:52,810
I'm here at the shop and just
added more work to the guys.
253
00:11:52,877 --> 00:11:54,043
Hello!
254
00:11:54,043 --> 00:11:56,043
-[Pete] What's up, Shorty?
-[Shorty] What is that, bro?
255
00:11:56,109 --> 00:11:59,410
Pete pulls up in a square body
C-10. And I'm like, "Wow."
256
00:11:59,410 --> 00:12:03,143
I hear it from miles away,
I know it's not stock
under that hood.
257
00:12:03,209 --> 00:12:07,143
I know we don't have time for
more work, but I couldn't
pass this up.
258
00:12:07,209 --> 00:12:09,810
-[Shorty] We've got
time for more money.
-[Pete] Yeah, more money.
259
00:12:09,877 --> 00:12:12,043
This is what we call
a buy, fix, and flip.
260
00:12:12,109 --> 00:12:13,576
What are we gonna do?
261
00:12:13,576 --> 00:12:16,610
I know we ain't just gonna
leave it 'cause that would
be impossible.
262
00:12:16,610 --> 00:12:19,143
[Pete] To start with,
that's a nice, solid truck.
263
00:12:19,143 --> 00:12:21,910
Factory red truck. It is
a real short wheel base.
264
00:12:21,910 --> 00:12:24,777
So it hasn't been converted or
anything from a long wheel--
265
00:12:24,777 --> 00:12:27,209
[Shorty] I guess these days,
since there've been so much,
266
00:12:27,209 --> 00:12:29,309
that's another thing you gotta
look out for now.
267
00:12:29,309 --> 00:12:30,543
-[Pete] It's hard
to find them.
-[Shorty] Yeah.
268
00:12:30,610 --> 00:12:33,410
We're gonna lower it
to start with.
269
00:12:33,410 --> 00:12:35,510
The rear, we're gonna do
a C-notch.
270
00:12:35,510 --> 00:12:37,410
[Joel] It can
definitely use that.
271
00:12:37,410 --> 00:12:39,109
And then we're gonna get
some new wheels.
272
00:12:39,109 --> 00:12:41,143
What we wanna do
with this '84 C-10,
273
00:12:41,209 --> 00:12:43,510
I wanna get it down,
closer to the ground.
274
00:12:43,510 --> 00:12:46,810
Definitely wanna take off
the ugly cowboy bumper
that's in the back.
275
00:12:46,810 --> 00:12:49,209
We're gonna change the gauges
out, but let me tell you why.
276
00:12:51,877 --> 00:12:53,243
[Joel] Do I wanna know why?
277
00:12:54,309 --> 00:12:57,510
Oh-ho. Somebody did
an LS1 in here, huh?
278
00:12:57,510 --> 00:13:01,343
What's cool about it, when you
pop the hood, well, it's been
upgraded to an LS.
279
00:13:01,410 --> 00:13:03,510
So the motor and train's been
already upgraded.
280
00:13:03,510 --> 00:13:06,309
The rear end's already been
upgraded also to be compatible
281
00:13:06,309 --> 00:13:07,810
with the motor
and the transmission.
282
00:13:07,810 --> 00:13:09,209
And guess what?
283
00:13:09,209 --> 00:13:11,710
-Not guessing.
-[Pete] That AC
blows snowballs.
284
00:13:11,777 --> 00:13:14,010
Do the gauges work? 'Cause I
don't think the gauges work.
285
00:13:14,010 --> 00:13:15,043
[Pete] Gauges don't work.
286
00:13:15,043 --> 00:13:19,309
The motor is LS1, 4L60
automatic transmission.
287
00:13:19,309 --> 00:13:21,143
Pretty neat, pretty cool.
Something that feel like you
288
00:13:21,209 --> 00:13:22,810
can get in there,
and hop in and drive in.
289
00:13:22,810 --> 00:13:25,810
Go on. Drive it around and
let's see what it really
needs, Junior.
290
00:13:25,810 --> 00:13:27,143
[Pete] Check it out, Junior.
291
00:13:27,143 --> 00:13:29,910
Don't be scared. Oh, yeah.
292
00:13:30,643 --> 00:13:31,510
[engine revving]
293
00:13:31,510 --> 00:13:32,410
[Pete] You hearing it?
294
00:13:33,510 --> 00:13:34,309
Not bad.
295
00:13:38,777 --> 00:13:40,010
[Pete laughs]
296
00:13:40,010 --> 00:13:43,209
Truck's gonna get an upgraded
suspension, wheels, a tier,
297
00:13:43,209 --> 00:13:45,410
gauges, so you can finally see
what that LS is doing.
298
00:13:49,877 --> 00:13:51,910
[Joel] We got this rear end
the other day. I just wanted
299
00:13:51,910 --> 00:13:54,309
you to take a look at it
before we get our
finals on it.
300
00:13:54,309 --> 00:13:55,710
What do you think?
That's what you wanted, right?
301
00:13:55,777 --> 00:13:56,910
[Joey] That's a lot straighter
than the old one.
302
00:13:56,910 --> 00:13:59,410
I had Joey get us a new
rear end for the '56.
303
00:13:59,410 --> 00:14:02,043
Now comes the fun part,
getting this rear end to fit.
304
00:14:02,109 --> 00:14:03,777
[Joey] You have plenty of weld
tub on the inside,
305
00:14:03,777 --> 00:14:05,576
if you wanna change how much
the lip sticks out.
306
00:14:05,576 --> 00:14:10,209
Sanders wants a big lip on it,
so we're gonna shrink the rear
end an inch on each side,
307
00:14:10,209 --> 00:14:13,410
-and that'll give us an inch
of lip on the outside.
-[Joey] Okay.
308
00:14:13,410 --> 00:14:14,677
We've got all the
measurements we need.
309
00:14:14,710 --> 00:14:16,610
Let's get it over to the shop
and get this thing welded up.
310
00:14:19,810 --> 00:14:21,443
[machine whirring]
311
00:14:22,143 --> 00:14:23,410
[Shorty] You got a plan?
312
00:14:23,410 --> 00:14:28,109
Yeah, man. I'm gonna replace
this right here.
313
00:14:28,109 --> 00:14:31,443
This is the old piece.
Core support,
radiator support.
314
00:14:31,510 --> 00:14:35,943
It goes on to the front end,
and obviously, the welds were
never good enough to stick.
315
00:14:36,010 --> 00:14:39,877
The only thing I want is it
to give me enough slack
316
00:14:39,877 --> 00:14:41,343
to move the front
end sideways
317
00:14:41,410 --> 00:14:42,810
-like this if I have to.
-Right.
318
00:14:42,810 --> 00:14:45,410
And then that way,
I can shim it up or down.
319
00:14:45,410 --> 00:14:46,510
'Cause you know
how these cars are.
320
00:14:46,510 --> 00:14:47,710
-They need a lot of adjusting.
-Right, yeah.
321
00:14:47,777 --> 00:14:48,943
A lot of adjusting,
322
00:14:49,010 --> 00:14:51,043
so if we do that,
I think we're good.
323
00:14:51,043 --> 00:14:55,010
So, we'll put plates on each
end of the cross member.
324
00:14:55,010 --> 00:14:56,943
It's gonna be
bolt on and bolt off.
325
00:14:57,010 --> 00:14:58,810
And we'll slot the holes
for adjustment.
326
00:15:08,209 --> 00:15:09,109
-What's up, Charlie?
-Hey.
327
00:15:09,109 --> 00:15:10,209
It looks awesome, Charlie.
328
00:15:10,209 --> 00:15:11,610
Yeah, yeah,
it's getting there.
329
00:15:11,610 --> 00:15:12,910
Looks bad-ass.
330
00:15:12,910 --> 00:15:15,309
[Charlie] Little bit
of a cross member
with a bolt on.
331
00:15:15,309 --> 00:15:17,143
-We'll add some holes here.
-[Shorty] That's awesome, man.
332
00:15:17,209 --> 00:15:19,243
-Put a little tab
over here, like so.
-Yeah.
333
00:15:19,309 --> 00:15:20,777
-Slide out the holes...
-Yeah.
334
00:15:20,777 --> 00:15:22,877
-...from side to side, you
know what I'm talking about?
-Yeah, yeah.
335
00:15:22,877 --> 00:15:23,910
Once you get it cleaned up,
336
00:15:23,910 --> 00:15:25,309
it's gonna look like
it belonged there.
337
00:15:25,309 --> 00:15:26,643
-Appreciate you, brother.
-Yeah, yeah.
338
00:15:29,877 --> 00:15:31,710
[man] Man, I hope this thing
knocked us out.
339
00:15:33,810 --> 00:15:34,877
Now that we've
got our housing,
340
00:15:34,877 --> 00:15:35,910
we need to get
some measurements,
341
00:15:35,910 --> 00:15:37,610
so we know exactly
how far to cut it.
342
00:15:37,610 --> 00:15:38,443
[metal creaking]
343
00:15:39,910 --> 00:15:41,510
[Joey] 4.9, so we can take
344
00:15:41,510 --> 00:15:42,777
five inches off
our measurement
345
00:15:42,777 --> 00:15:44,710
and that's how long
we'll cut our tubes.
346
00:15:44,710 --> 00:15:48,410
We know that our axle needs
to be 28 inches on this side.
347
00:15:48,410 --> 00:15:50,243
Plus, we're gonna
subtract five inches
348
00:15:50,309 --> 00:15:51,610
for our whole assembly here.
349
00:15:51,610 --> 00:15:54,143
So, we'll make a mark
at 23 and cut it.
350
00:15:54,643 --> 00:15:55,543
[motor whirring]
351
00:16:02,410 --> 00:16:04,510
Now we've got our
fresh, new housing.
352
00:16:04,510 --> 00:16:07,043
So we'll weld this one
together with the jig,
353
00:16:07,043 --> 00:16:08,910
that way everything comes out
straight when we're done.
354
00:16:11,610 --> 00:16:13,410
So, whenever we weld
the back brace on it,
355
00:16:13,410 --> 00:16:16,010
it's gonna wanna try to
work for two to pull 'em in.
356
00:16:16,010 --> 00:16:18,343
So, we're gonna strap
it to this to try to hold
everything in place.
357
00:16:18,410 --> 00:16:20,043
All right. So, now we can weld
the back brace on it
358
00:16:20,043 --> 00:16:21,810
and not have to worry about
it pulling it up too far.
359
00:16:31,209 --> 00:16:34,043
It's nice to watch somebody
else working for a little bit.
360
00:16:43,710 --> 00:16:45,209
[Joey] Here we've got
our center section.
361
00:16:45,209 --> 00:16:46,710
We'll run the lineup
bar through here
362
00:16:46,710 --> 00:16:48,309
and this will make sure
everything is centered.
363
00:16:48,309 --> 00:16:49,410
Then we'll put our pucks
on the end
364
00:16:49,410 --> 00:16:50,910
and make sure everything
lines up just right.
365
00:16:52,610 --> 00:16:55,710
[machine whirring]
366
00:16:58,209 --> 00:16:59,810
[Joey] It lines up perfectly.
367
00:16:59,810 --> 00:17:01,510
As you can see, there's
a nice, tight fitment
368
00:17:01,510 --> 00:17:04,309
and the tube and everything
lines up how it's supposed to.
369
00:17:04,309 --> 00:17:05,643
That's the whole
point of it now 'cause
370
00:17:05,710 --> 00:17:07,043
as you weld it
and heat it up,
371
00:17:07,109 --> 00:17:09,309
it'll shrink the metal
and pull it up to warp it.
372
00:17:09,309 --> 00:17:11,777
Since we took our precautions
and expected it to happen,
373
00:17:11,777 --> 00:17:14,510
now our end result is
a perfect lined-up housing.
374
00:17:14,510 --> 00:17:16,777
Now, all we need to do
is grind a bevel on this side
375
00:17:16,777 --> 00:17:18,410
and then we can
weld it all together.
376
00:17:18,410 --> 00:17:21,143
[machine whirring]
377
00:17:27,410 --> 00:17:30,010
The rear end for Sanders' car
is coming out great.
378
00:17:30,010 --> 00:17:31,710
You know, it's really cool
to come over here and
379
00:17:31,777 --> 00:17:33,276
spend some time with Joey
380
00:17:33,276 --> 00:17:35,610
and watch him,
watch his technique
and learn some of the tricks
381
00:17:35,610 --> 00:17:37,610
that he uses to make
this stuff happen.
382
00:17:37,610 --> 00:17:41,143
I can't wait to get it back
to the shop and get it
underneath the car.
383
00:17:41,143 --> 00:17:42,309
This thing's gonna be bad-ass.
384
00:17:44,777 --> 00:17:46,443
[Shorty] It's killer. You did
awesome work, man.
385
00:17:46,510 --> 00:17:48,910
So, I guess now,
what are you guys, uh--
386
00:17:48,910 --> 00:17:51,510
[Joel] We're gonna slide
it up under here and, um,
387
00:17:51,510 --> 00:17:53,410
get all this set up and--
388
00:17:53,410 --> 00:17:55,309
[Joey] Make sure my
measurements weren't off.
389
00:17:59,910 --> 00:18:01,143
[Shorty] One, two, three.
390
00:18:10,410 --> 00:18:12,143
There we go.
Get this damn thing right.
391
00:18:12,209 --> 00:18:14,543
[Joel] We just
propped the rear end up,
we set it up in the car,
392
00:18:14,610 --> 00:18:16,943
and, man,
phew, perfect.
393
00:18:17,010 --> 00:18:18,443
The rear end's
set up straight,
394
00:18:18,510 --> 00:18:20,710
not only is it going to
go down the road straight,
395
00:18:20,710 --> 00:18:22,543
but it's gonna ride
tremendously better.
396
00:18:29,309 --> 00:18:32,209
[Joel] We've been
pretty busy on the Bel Air,
especially underneath it.
397
00:18:32,276 --> 00:18:33,910
We're gonna set up
the rear shocks.
398
00:18:33,910 --> 00:18:37,710
You try to get a little bit of
angle on your shocks.
399
00:18:37,710 --> 00:18:39,777
Sometimes it's not possible.
In this case, we're going
400
00:18:39,777 --> 00:18:41,209
to try to angle it
just a little bit.
401
00:18:41,209 --> 00:18:42,476
Probably won't
get much out of it,
402
00:18:42,476 --> 00:18:45,510
but I want... Just a slight
angle will change the ride.
403
00:18:45,576 --> 00:18:47,076
These are just
universal brackets,
404
00:18:47,076 --> 00:18:49,076
and basically, we're just
going to set these up.
405
00:18:49,076 --> 00:18:50,810
Set the ride high
and go from there.
406
00:19:10,510 --> 00:19:12,276
[Joel] Even though
we're busy on the '56,
407
00:19:12,276 --> 00:19:14,877
there is some work
to do on the '84 Silverado.
408
00:19:14,877 --> 00:19:16,610
Today's a big day
for this truck.
409
00:19:16,610 --> 00:19:18,076
To get the stance right
in these trucks,
410
00:19:18,710 --> 00:19:19,910
you got to go low.
411
00:19:19,977 --> 00:19:22,309
So, we're gonna do
a mini C-notch on it,
412
00:19:22,376 --> 00:19:24,376
and do a rear-end
flip kit on it.
413
00:19:24,376 --> 00:19:26,010
And that will bring it
just right at the back.
414
00:19:26,010 --> 00:19:28,810
We should end up
around five in the front,
seven in the rear.
415
00:19:28,877 --> 00:19:32,010
Joel is really busy right now
between the '56 Bel Air
416
00:19:32,010 --> 00:19:34,309
and the C-notch on
the '84 Silverado,
417
00:19:34,309 --> 00:19:35,643
he's got his hands full.
418
00:19:35,643 --> 00:19:38,777
Basically,
what we're doing is
a flip kit on this '84 C-10.
419
00:19:38,777 --> 00:19:41,143
You can see your leaf springs
are on top of your axles.
420
00:19:41,143 --> 00:19:43,610
But we want to go low,
like, real low.
421
00:19:43,610 --> 00:19:45,176
So, in order to go low-low,
422
00:19:45,176 --> 00:19:48,777
we're gonna take these
leaf springs and put them
underneath the axle.
423
00:19:48,777 --> 00:19:52,309
So basically, what that's
gonna do is move your axle up,
424
00:19:52,309 --> 00:19:53,309
and then we're getting low.
425
00:19:57,910 --> 00:19:59,510
-Forward.
-Yeah.
426
00:19:59,510 --> 00:20:00,476
A little bit.
427
00:20:01,410 --> 00:20:02,209
Oh, too much.
428
00:20:03,209 --> 00:20:04,476
[all grunting]
429
00:20:09,010 --> 00:20:12,209
The mini C-notch allows for
a lower stance on the truck.
430
00:20:12,209 --> 00:20:14,143
However, it doesn't
slam it on the ground.
431
00:20:19,143 --> 00:20:20,810
So, basically
you get to travel
432
00:20:20,810 --> 00:20:22,810
between the axle
and the frame.
433
00:20:22,810 --> 00:20:24,510
We're gonna C-notch
the frame a little bit.
434
00:20:24,576 --> 00:20:26,977
All that it involves
is just cutting a little
C-notch out of it,
435
00:20:26,977 --> 00:20:30,076
so the frame can basically
accept the axle going into it.
436
00:20:40,176 --> 00:20:44,209
So, we got the '84 C-10 here
and, man, was this speedy.
437
00:20:44,209 --> 00:20:46,143
I forgot how bad
it was to lower a truck.
438
00:20:47,209 --> 00:20:49,109
Well, especially this truck.
439
00:20:49,109 --> 00:20:51,810
But check it out, we got
the flip gate installed.
440
00:20:51,877 --> 00:20:53,576
We got the mini
C-notch installed.
441
00:20:53,576 --> 00:20:56,043
We got the snubber installed.
We're ready for some lifts.
442
00:21:04,910 --> 00:21:07,109
So, we're putting
the LS in the '56.
443
00:21:07,109 --> 00:21:09,209
First things first, we're
gonna use a mock-up motor
444
00:21:09,209 --> 00:21:11,610
to kind of figure it out what
direction we're gonna go in.
445
00:21:11,610 --> 00:21:13,410
'Cause we're having to move
the motor mounts.
446
00:21:13,410 --> 00:21:14,710
A lot of stuff is
getting moved around.
447
00:21:18,710 --> 00:21:20,510
All right. Hold up.
448
00:21:20,576 --> 00:21:22,710
[Joel] The first mount
will be right at the edge.
449
00:21:22,777 --> 00:21:25,877
You need to get it something.
Like, set it up over side.
450
00:21:25,877 --> 00:21:28,109
So, we can raise the
car up and actually
451
00:21:28,109 --> 00:21:31,376
set the motor into the top
and be able to work.
452
00:21:31,376 --> 00:21:32,877
And then from there,
we'll take the measurements
453
00:21:32,877 --> 00:21:35,877
from the motor, from
the block to the frame,
454
00:21:35,877 --> 00:21:38,677
and figure out what
direction we need to go in
with our motor mounts.
455
00:21:38,677 --> 00:21:40,810
The biggest thing that
we're gonna encounter
456
00:21:40,877 --> 00:21:44,010
is the steering, because
the rack is so low,
457
00:21:44,010 --> 00:21:46,777
we're gonna have to make
our way up around
the motor mounts,
458
00:21:46,777 --> 00:21:49,010
but we'll use
heim joints to do that,
459
00:21:49,010 --> 00:21:50,209
so that it'll rotate.
460
00:21:50,276 --> 00:21:52,810
I guess, my next question
is, are we gonna put...
461
00:21:52,810 --> 00:21:55,576
You know, the radiator
normally mounts on this side.
462
00:21:55,576 --> 00:21:58,276
I'm putting the radiator on
this side, this time around.
463
00:21:58,276 --> 00:22:00,610
So we're gonna
have the mounted
radiator on that side
464
00:22:00,677 --> 00:22:03,010
and the condenser.
That should give us enough.
465
00:22:03,010 --> 00:22:04,209
It's gonna be
tight either way.
466
00:22:09,209 --> 00:22:11,209
We're working on the
gauges on the Silverado.
467
00:22:11,276 --> 00:22:13,677
Junior did an awesome job
making me a plate
468
00:22:13,677 --> 00:22:16,209
for mounting the brain
and the adapter
469
00:22:16,276 --> 00:22:18,710
to translate the LS
to the gauges.
470
00:22:18,777 --> 00:22:21,576
It helps, you know. A good
team is what makes you finish.
471
00:22:21,576 --> 00:22:23,209
One of the things
that you run into
472
00:22:23,276 --> 00:22:25,610
installing an LS into
an older vehicle,
473
00:22:25,677 --> 00:22:28,143
when you take out factory
stuff, it's not really
474
00:22:28,143 --> 00:22:30,910
designed to house newer stuff,
475
00:22:30,977 --> 00:22:34,143
so you got components
and little modules
that you have to mount.
476
00:22:34,143 --> 00:22:36,410
So you always want to come in
and take a little time
477
00:22:36,476 --> 00:22:40,910
and kinda design it,
kinda position where
you're gonna put everything.
478
00:22:40,910 --> 00:22:43,610
That way, you get good
placement and your
wiring stays clean.
479
00:22:47,276 --> 00:22:49,610
We're doing a little bit of
the wiring that has to be done
480
00:22:49,677 --> 00:22:53,476
to get the translator
to communicate with
the engine and the truck.
481
00:22:53,476 --> 00:22:56,376
And then we'll be installing
this into the housing.
482
00:22:56,376 --> 00:22:59,510
This is basically
your control module
for your digital gauges.
483
00:22:59,576 --> 00:23:02,610
And as you can see,
it accepts all the signals
484
00:23:02,677 --> 00:23:05,510
from either your lights
or all your sensors.
485
00:23:05,510 --> 00:23:09,710
And what this does
is translate everything
that the ECM puts out
486
00:23:09,777 --> 00:23:13,109
into a signal
that this can read,
so your gauges can work.
487
00:23:19,910 --> 00:23:21,710
[machine whirring]
488
00:23:25,777 --> 00:23:26,710
Sweet.
489
00:23:27,510 --> 00:23:31,176
[engine starts]
490
00:23:35,910 --> 00:23:37,376
Luckily, we didn't
have to wait long
491
00:23:37,376 --> 00:23:39,610
for the actual motor
to come in for the Bel Air.
492
00:23:39,677 --> 00:23:41,910
Here we have a Fourth Gen 6.0.
493
00:23:41,910 --> 00:23:43,510
Our buddy, Adrian,
hooked us up with it.
494
00:23:43,510 --> 00:23:45,510
It's a Gen Four.
This thing is going to produce
495
00:23:45,510 --> 00:23:48,376
massive power for what
we want in this car.
496
00:23:48,376 --> 00:23:50,777
Now we'll run
through the motor,
change all the gaskets,
497
00:23:50,777 --> 00:23:52,410
all the seals.
Get it freshened up.
498
00:23:52,476 --> 00:23:55,410
Put some color on it.
We're gonna be
replacing its DoD.
499
00:23:55,410 --> 00:23:57,576
Got a fuel management
cut-off system,
500
00:23:57,576 --> 00:23:59,910
and all that is
controlled by the cam.
501
00:23:59,910 --> 00:24:02,710
So, we're gonna be
replacing all of that.
502
00:24:02,710 --> 00:24:05,810
Basically, we're just gonna
use the block and replace
everything else.
503
00:24:05,810 --> 00:24:08,209
Junior is gonna take it
outside and give it a bath.
504
00:24:18,276 --> 00:24:22,209
[Junior]
This is the driver's side
1, 3, 5, 7 on the coil pack.
505
00:24:22,209 --> 00:24:24,777
These small blocks,
before, they had
pretty much a distributor
506
00:24:24,777 --> 00:24:26,410
with a coil inside of them,
507
00:24:26,476 --> 00:24:29,143
versus this is a coil
per each cylinder.
508
00:24:29,143 --> 00:24:32,209
As this coil gets signal,
it shoots a spark
into the spark plug.
509
00:24:32,276 --> 00:24:34,109
They are color-coded wires,
510
00:24:34,109 --> 00:24:35,910
but if you don't have
that diagram on hand,
511
00:24:35,910 --> 00:24:37,910
pro-tip, just always
label them.
512
00:24:39,910 --> 00:24:44,043
So, we're about to make
the '56 Bel Air motor mounts.
513
00:24:44,043 --> 00:24:45,977
And I went and got me
a piece of stock.
514
00:24:45,977 --> 00:24:47,710
We're gonna cut it
with a plasma cutter.
515
00:24:47,710 --> 00:24:49,209
You see this
straight edge here,
516
00:24:49,209 --> 00:24:51,143
I'm gonna use this as a guide,
517
00:24:51,143 --> 00:24:53,010
and then the rest
of this, I can hand-cut.
518
00:24:59,410 --> 00:25:01,010
Well, there is the
piece we cut out,
519
00:25:01,010 --> 00:25:03,010
there is our template,
it's a good match.
520
00:25:03,010 --> 00:25:06,276
Little bit bigger, easier
to remove than to add.
521
00:25:06,276 --> 00:25:08,710
So, don't be scared
to make it a little bigger.
522
00:25:13,309 --> 00:25:16,376
So, now we got the motor mount
all chewed and it looks great.
523
00:25:16,376 --> 00:25:19,309
Next thing we're gonna
do is we're gonna put
our motor mount hole
524
00:25:19,376 --> 00:25:22,610
where the bolt will go through
and mount to the motor mount.
525
00:25:22,610 --> 00:25:24,610
All right. Let's see
how good we are here.
526
00:25:27,810 --> 00:25:29,109
That's awesome.
527
00:25:29,109 --> 00:25:30,309
That's really good.
528
00:25:31,209 --> 00:25:33,109
So, now we get
this thing welded up.
529
00:25:33,109 --> 00:25:34,376
Get this mock-up motor out,
530
00:25:34,376 --> 00:25:36,076
get the real motor
in this thing now.
531
00:25:42,677 --> 00:25:44,176
While Junior's working
on the motor,
532
00:25:44,176 --> 00:25:46,276
I'm gonna go ahead and build
this transmission mount.
533
00:25:46,276 --> 00:25:48,810
It's got to be custom
because of the way
it was built before.
534
00:25:48,810 --> 00:25:50,276
We're gonna have to
go back and match it,
535
00:25:50,276 --> 00:25:52,710
so that it'll mount
up to the transmission.
536
00:25:56,777 --> 00:26:00,209
All right, so we're getting
the trans mount set.
537
00:26:00,209 --> 00:26:02,877
Now, it's looking
really good.
538
00:26:04,810 --> 00:26:06,276
That's a winner.
539
00:26:13,677 --> 00:26:16,410
[Joel] On the '56, today
we're assembling new brakes.
540
00:26:16,476 --> 00:26:18,610
The unit had brakes but, uh,
541
00:26:18,610 --> 00:26:20,810
let's say they were
out of commission,
542
00:26:20,810 --> 00:26:21,910
and we needed some new ones.
543
00:26:21,977 --> 00:26:23,777
We're gonna get these
ready, get 'em on the car.
544
00:26:24,677 --> 00:26:26,309
Hopefully, set
the car down soon.
545
00:26:26,309 --> 00:26:28,576
'Cause I'm ready. It needs
to be on the ground.
546
00:26:28,576 --> 00:26:30,810
These brakes, not only
are they big, but when you
547
00:26:30,877 --> 00:26:32,410
have a car with
this kind of power,
548
00:26:32,476 --> 00:26:34,610
you definitely want to go
with a good size rotor.
549
00:26:34,677 --> 00:26:37,810
That way, you have good
stopping capabilities.
550
00:26:37,810 --> 00:26:40,209
You go with the stock rotor,
the problem with that is,
551
00:26:40,276 --> 00:26:42,910
you know, you're repeatedly
hitting them and hitting them
and hitting them,
552
00:26:42,977 --> 00:26:45,910
and what happens is the pad
actually starts heating up
553
00:26:45,910 --> 00:26:47,376
and you start getting
a glaze on them.
554
00:26:47,376 --> 00:26:49,410
These are cross drilled,
high-performance,
555
00:26:49,410 --> 00:26:51,510
they're able to take
the weather and heat,
556
00:26:51,510 --> 00:26:53,209
so this should be
able to stop just fine.
557
00:27:06,010 --> 00:27:07,910
[Joel] The brakes are
coming great on the '56.
558
00:27:07,910 --> 00:27:09,877
I don't know if you guys
know this or not,
559
00:27:09,877 --> 00:27:12,910
but usually,
when you put these
aftermarket calipers on here,
560
00:27:12,910 --> 00:27:14,610
you know, you have
these little shims,
561
00:27:14,677 --> 00:27:18,410
and what you have
to do is basically
562
00:27:18,410 --> 00:27:20,410
get the center
of the caliper
563
00:27:20,410 --> 00:27:22,410
right in the center
of the rotor.
564
00:27:22,410 --> 00:27:23,710
It's very important,
because that's
565
00:27:23,777 --> 00:27:26,209
gonna determine how your
wear is on your pads.
566
00:27:26,276 --> 00:27:30,510
What I do is, I'll take it
and kind of set it up there.
567
00:27:30,510 --> 00:27:33,076
You can see more or less
if you need to come
568
00:27:33,076 --> 00:27:35,143
to the inside
or to the outside.
569
00:27:35,143 --> 00:27:38,910
So, if you need to come
to the inside, you'll put
the shim right here,
570
00:27:38,910 --> 00:27:42,143
and that way, you can
move the caliper in or out
571
00:27:42,143 --> 00:27:44,410
to get it to the center
of the rotor.
572
00:27:44,410 --> 00:27:47,777
So, now with
the shims in there,
the rotor is basically
573
00:27:47,777 --> 00:27:50,410
right dead in the center
of the caliper.
574
00:27:50,410 --> 00:27:51,343
And that's what you want.
575
00:27:54,410 --> 00:27:56,877
We got the rear seat
for the '56 Bel Air.
576
00:27:56,877 --> 00:27:58,910
We're gonna take this
top section off
577
00:27:58,910 --> 00:28:00,510
and then use
the base of it only.
578
00:28:00,576 --> 00:28:02,710
We're gonna foam it,
then we'll have a back seat.
579
00:28:10,977 --> 00:28:12,810
So, now that
we cut everything out,
580
00:28:12,810 --> 00:28:15,209
we got the
back side of it in.
581
00:28:15,209 --> 00:28:18,276
It's gonna sit right around
in this section here.
582
00:28:18,276 --> 00:28:19,610
We're gonna build the
bottom section over here
583
00:28:19,677 --> 00:28:21,476
because this car was
already tubbed out,
584
00:28:21,476 --> 00:28:23,109
so the bottom seat
does not fit,
585
00:28:23,109 --> 00:28:25,176
and then from there,
we'll just start foaming
everything up.
586
00:28:35,810 --> 00:28:37,677
[machine whirring]
587
00:28:48,209 --> 00:28:50,309
-Like a glove.
-Look at that, man.
588
00:28:50,376 --> 00:28:51,510
[chuckles]
589
00:28:52,209 --> 00:28:53,209
That's bad-ass, guys.
590
00:29:01,510 --> 00:29:03,810
The '84 red truck,
Pete found it.
591
00:29:03,877 --> 00:29:06,276
He wanted to lower it
and put some wheels on it,
592
00:29:06,276 --> 00:29:08,810
and so, me, Joel,
and Junior jumped on it.
593
00:29:08,877 --> 00:29:12,043
-What's up, Junior?
Oh, yeah baby.
-Check this out, Joel.
594
00:29:12,043 --> 00:29:14,176
[whistles and whoops]
595
00:29:14,176 --> 00:29:16,710
Just got to mount it.
Ready to put it on
the truck, man.
596
00:29:23,076 --> 00:29:25,810
[machine whirring]
597
00:29:26,610 --> 00:29:27,510
[Shorty] Ooh!
598
00:29:27,510 --> 00:29:28,777
[all] Looks good, man.
599
00:29:28,777 --> 00:29:29,777
[man] Exactly
where I wanted it.
600
00:29:29,777 --> 00:29:32,043
Hey, man! We got
a little room in there.
601
00:29:32,043 --> 00:29:34,176
The 24 is fitting
a little snug.
602
00:29:34,176 --> 00:29:35,376
We can't get tubs in time.
603
00:29:35,376 --> 00:29:37,209
So, we're gonna go with
22s all the way around.
604
00:29:37,209 --> 00:29:38,777
What's so cool, man,
605
00:29:38,777 --> 00:29:40,476
is that usually,
when we knock 'em out,
606
00:29:40,476 --> 00:29:43,309
we say,
"Hey, they're up for sale.
They're ready to go."
607
00:29:43,309 --> 00:29:45,209
I have a list of people
608
00:29:45,209 --> 00:29:46,810
that are lookin'
for square bodies.
609
00:29:46,810 --> 00:29:48,877
And hopefully, I get
somebody out here to come
and take a look at it,
610
00:29:48,877 --> 00:29:50,109
and see if they're
interested in it.
611
00:29:50,109 --> 00:29:51,510
-[Joel] Let's do it.
-So let's do it.
612
00:29:51,510 --> 00:29:53,176
-All right, guys.
-Thank you, man.
613
00:29:53,176 --> 00:29:54,510
I appreciate it.
It came out amazing.
614
00:29:59,309 --> 00:30:01,610
-[Shorty] What are you up to?
-Trying to tackle those...
615
00:30:01,677 --> 00:30:03,777
Find one thing
and it's onto the next,
616
00:30:03,777 --> 00:30:05,877
and then that thing
leads to the next.
617
00:30:05,877 --> 00:30:09,376
The way I see it
is there's too many obstacles.
618
00:30:09,376 --> 00:30:11,910
There's a lot of things here
that you cannot see.
619
00:30:11,977 --> 00:30:14,910
The hardware
for the spindles
is missing,
620
00:30:14,977 --> 00:30:15,843
the lines were missing.
621
00:30:15,877 --> 00:30:17,710
You look at it,
and it looks like a car,
622
00:30:17,710 --> 00:30:18,977
and you're thinkin',
"Oh, man--
623
00:30:18,977 --> 00:30:20,610
-We can bridge
right through it.
-Yeah.
624
00:30:20,610 --> 00:30:21,910
And it's totally opposite.
625
00:30:21,977 --> 00:30:23,810
It's becoming
something that
626
00:30:23,877 --> 00:30:26,309
I'm starting to wonder
what we're gonna be
able to do.
627
00:30:26,376 --> 00:30:28,510
At the end
of the day, man,
I'm gonna keep grinding.
628
00:30:28,510 --> 00:30:30,810
We gotta tame it
sooner or later.
It's gotta be tamed,
629
00:30:30,877 --> 00:30:31,977
-you know what I mean?
-Okay.
630
00:30:31,977 --> 00:30:32,877
[Joel] Look at that, man.
631
00:30:32,877 --> 00:30:34,076
[Shorty] Damn, Junior.
632
00:30:35,076 --> 00:30:36,043
[Joel] What is this, man?
633
00:30:36,076 --> 00:30:38,143
-Is this a radiator?
-I ain't opened it yet.
634
00:30:38,143 --> 00:30:41,109
Junior came through
with a radiator
in this '56 Bel Air.
635
00:30:41,109 --> 00:30:43,410
At this point,
we take any win we can.
636
00:30:43,476 --> 00:30:44,610
All right, be careful.
637
00:30:44,677 --> 00:30:46,510
It's already got
a couple little dents on it.
638
00:30:47,209 --> 00:30:48,176
It does?
639
00:30:48,176 --> 00:30:49,109
[Shorty] Yeah, just a couple.
640
00:30:49,143 --> 00:30:50,710
Hey, why is this thing
so little, though?
641
00:30:50,777 --> 00:30:51,877
It's already set up for LS.
642
00:30:52,510 --> 00:30:54,109
[all] Mmm.
643
00:30:54,109 --> 00:30:55,376
LSs are smaller.
644
00:30:55,376 --> 00:30:57,410
Junior, I hope
this thing fits, man.
645
00:30:57,476 --> 00:30:58,510
Here, let me do it.
646
00:30:58,510 --> 00:31:00,176
-You seem a little excited.
-Uh, I'm excited.
647
00:31:00,176 --> 00:31:01,677
[chuckles]
The dawg's ready, man.
648
00:31:01,677 --> 00:31:03,076
You brought the light, Junior.
649
00:31:03,076 --> 00:31:04,910
-This thing's heavy, man.
-I'm telling you.
650
00:31:04,977 --> 00:31:07,510
[Shorty] You know what?
It looks like it's gonna
fit just fine.
651
00:31:07,576 --> 00:31:09,176
You said that this side
has more room,
652
00:31:09,176 --> 00:31:11,209
so that's why
we chose to go this side,
653
00:31:11,209 --> 00:31:12,276
-versus the other side.
-Yeah.
654
00:31:12,276 --> 00:31:14,276
But I can see that the angle,
like, down there,
655
00:31:14,276 --> 00:31:16,043
it's got the angle
for the tub.
656
00:31:16,043 --> 00:31:17,576
So, yeah,
it goes from this side.
657
00:31:17,576 --> 00:31:19,376
There we are, Junior.
658
00:31:19,376 --> 00:31:20,510
Good job. You found it.
659
00:31:24,376 --> 00:31:27,143
The guys worked really hard
on this '84 Silverado,
660
00:31:27,143 --> 00:31:30,176
and now it's Pete's
turn to get it out of here
and get some money.
661
00:31:30,176 --> 00:31:31,276
Finally came the day,
662
00:31:31,276 --> 00:31:33,576
all the crap
that I put on the guys,
663
00:31:33,576 --> 00:31:35,677
it's all knocked out.
And I'm excited because,
664
00:31:35,677 --> 00:31:38,677
well, I get to invite someone
that's on the wishlist
to show the car today.
665
00:31:38,677 --> 00:31:40,010
What's up, Shorty?
666
00:31:40,010 --> 00:31:40,910
What's going on, guys?
667
00:31:40,910 --> 00:31:41,977
Shorty, this is Abel, man.
668
00:31:41,977 --> 00:31:43,309
He's the guy
I sent the wishlist.
669
00:31:43,376 --> 00:31:45,209
-Looking for a C-10.
-Hey, how are you doing?
670
00:31:45,276 --> 00:31:46,710
My name is Abel Jimenez.
671
00:31:46,777 --> 00:31:48,209
Came out here
to look at a
672
00:31:48,276 --> 00:31:50,010
'84 Chevy pickup
that I'm interested in.
673
00:31:50,010 --> 00:31:52,510
That's the type of pickup
that I had before.
674
00:31:52,510 --> 00:31:53,677
Family comes first,
675
00:31:53,677 --> 00:31:54,977
so I had to get
rid of my trucks.
676
00:31:54,977 --> 00:31:57,610
But now I've had
the opportunity
to purchase one.
677
00:31:57,677 --> 00:31:58,576
What we got here,
678
00:31:58,576 --> 00:32:00,610
it's a all original
'84 pickup truck.
679
00:32:00,677 --> 00:32:02,076
We ended up
going around,
ripping up
680
00:32:02,076 --> 00:32:03,510
all the original trim.
681
00:32:03,510 --> 00:32:04,910
We ended up
putting it on a lift,
682
00:32:04,910 --> 00:32:06,510
turned down
the whole suspension,
683
00:32:06,510 --> 00:32:08,309
and replaced it
with a whole brand-new
lowering kit.
684
00:32:08,376 --> 00:32:09,510
New wheels.
685
00:32:09,510 --> 00:32:11,309
We did a
22 by 8-and-a-half
up front
686
00:32:11,376 --> 00:32:13,510
with a 22 by 10 in the rear.
687
00:32:13,510 --> 00:32:15,309
Go ahead and take a seat.
688
00:32:15,376 --> 00:32:16,910
And I'll show you
what we did inside.
689
00:32:16,910 --> 00:32:18,977
-[engine starts and revs]
-So we upgraded the gauges,
690
00:32:18,977 --> 00:32:20,677
and what better yet
than some cold AC?
691
00:32:20,677 --> 00:32:21,810
[air blowing]
692
00:32:21,877 --> 00:32:23,043
-Yep. It's cold.
-Yep.
693
00:32:23,043 --> 00:32:24,476
The '84 Silverado,
694
00:32:24,476 --> 00:32:26,810
to start off with
is a nice, pure,
695
00:32:26,810 --> 00:32:28,076
preserved Texas truck.
696
00:32:28,076 --> 00:32:29,309
You open up the hood...
697
00:32:29,376 --> 00:32:30,877
What we've got here,
it's a LS1,
698
00:32:30,877 --> 00:32:33,810
followed with the 4L60
automatic transmission.
699
00:32:33,877 --> 00:32:36,610
You got the aluminum radiator
with dual fans.
700
00:32:36,677 --> 00:32:39,510
And you also got
the power steering
and the power brakes set up.
701
00:32:39,576 --> 00:32:41,309
That's one of the major perks,
702
00:32:41,309 --> 00:32:42,610
is the engine
of this whole truck.
703
00:32:42,677 --> 00:32:44,610
It's not a full custom truck,
704
00:32:44,677 --> 00:32:46,610
just a mild custom.
And I just figured,
705
00:32:46,677 --> 00:32:48,476
seeing you on the wishlist
and the ballpark
706
00:32:48,476 --> 00:32:50,910
where you wanted
to be around,
I figured,
707
00:32:50,977 --> 00:32:53,209
maybe you'd be
the right person
for this truck.
708
00:32:53,276 --> 00:32:54,977
[Shorty] So what
do you think, Abel?
You like it?
709
00:32:54,977 --> 00:32:56,043
[Abel] Yes, sir.
710
00:32:56,043 --> 00:32:57,243
[Shorty] You bought it?
711
00:32:57,243 --> 00:32:59,410
-[Abel] Not yet.
-He hasn't talked
to the other half.
712
00:32:59,410 --> 00:33:00,977
Yeah, that's what I figured.
713
00:33:00,977 --> 00:33:03,076
-Hey, I have to
do that too, so...
-Yeah, talk to the other half.
714
00:33:03,076 --> 00:33:05,376
It's the perfect stance.
715
00:33:05,376 --> 00:33:07,410
The tires,
the staggered rims,
it is perfect.
716
00:33:07,476 --> 00:33:08,510
I'm really happy.
717
00:33:08,576 --> 00:33:09,810
Now, I just gotta
go back home
718
00:33:09,810 --> 00:33:11,309
and convince my wife
719
00:33:11,309 --> 00:33:12,209
this is what I want.
720
00:33:12,276 --> 00:33:14,143
We'll see
what the other half says.
721
00:33:14,143 --> 00:33:15,410
And if she says yes,
722
00:33:15,410 --> 00:33:17,610
I told him, 30-mile radius,
I'll deliver it for free.
723
00:33:25,910 --> 00:33:27,810
Joel, need some help.
724
00:33:27,810 --> 00:33:29,810
[Joel] So,
we got the rear end
mocked up.
725
00:33:29,810 --> 00:33:31,510
Fits great. Sent it off
to powder coating.
726
00:33:31,576 --> 00:33:33,309
But, man,
did it come back fast.
727
00:33:33,309 --> 00:33:35,209
Now, it's time
to get it into 'the 56.
728
00:33:35,276 --> 00:33:38,143
There's no way.
Is that possible for you
to do it that fast?
729
00:33:38,143 --> 00:33:40,143
You dropped her
off at lunch time--
730
00:33:40,143 --> 00:33:42,376
And you get her back
two hours later.
731
00:33:42,376 --> 00:33:43,510
-Right?
-[laughing] Yeah.
732
00:33:43,510 --> 00:33:45,076
Hey, look, it's still hot.
733
00:33:45,109 --> 00:33:46,777
-[Joel] Yeah, I know,
that's what I'm saying.
-[Shorty] Check it out, man.
734
00:33:46,777 --> 00:33:48,710
-[Joel] It's awesome, huh?
-It looks good, man.
It's awesome.
735
00:33:48,710 --> 00:33:50,076
Oh, man, check that out.
736
00:33:52,977 --> 00:33:55,010
That looks too cool.
737
00:33:55,010 --> 00:33:56,710
Customer's gonna love it.
738
00:33:56,710 --> 00:33:58,510
Once you get it back
from the powder coater,
739
00:33:58,510 --> 00:33:59,977
everything should be
good to go.
740
00:34:00,010 --> 00:34:02,510
Just make sure
you clean up the holes
where the bolts are gonna go,
741
00:34:02,576 --> 00:34:03,610
and then set it
on the car.
742
00:34:03,610 --> 00:34:06,710
[machine whirring]
743
00:34:41,376 --> 00:34:43,043
Junior's got this thing
set up already,
744
00:34:43,043 --> 00:34:45,209
so I think we're almost ready
for some paint.
745
00:34:49,043 --> 00:34:50,309
-Hey, Shorty.
-Yes, sir.
746
00:34:50,376 --> 00:34:51,910
You gonna paint that
motor for me today?
747
00:34:51,977 --> 00:34:53,410
-Mmm-hmm. Yeah.
-Okay.
748
00:34:53,476 --> 00:34:55,777
Well, we're
thinking about doing
that turquoise color.
749
00:34:55,777 --> 00:34:57,010
You think you can
whip something up?
750
00:34:57,010 --> 00:34:58,810
[Shorty] I think I can
make something real quick.
751
00:34:58,877 --> 00:35:00,376
[Joel] You know,
hand-mix it.
752
00:35:00,376 --> 00:35:01,309
[Shorty] Yeah,
I'm gonna hand-mix it.
753
00:35:01,376 --> 00:35:02,677
This is white.
754
00:35:02,677 --> 00:35:04,209
We're just gonna
play it by ear.
755
00:35:04,977 --> 00:35:06,109
Let's try some, uh,
756
00:35:06,109 --> 00:35:07,309
blue-green.
757
00:35:07,376 --> 00:35:08,910
[Joel] That one's crazy, man.
758
00:35:08,910 --> 00:35:10,677
[Shorty] It looks like
it's getting closer.
759
00:35:10,677 --> 00:35:13,410
Let's come over here and see.
760
00:35:13,410 --> 00:35:15,176
-[Joel] It's good.
-[Shorty] Is that
close enough?
761
00:35:15,176 --> 00:35:16,410
[Joel] I think so, man.
762
00:35:16,410 --> 00:35:18,710
-It's on the motor, so,
I mean, it's gonna be--
-Yeah.
763
00:35:18,710 --> 00:35:20,076
It's a little bit
on the blue side.
764
00:35:20,076 --> 00:35:21,710
It needs to be
on the green side.
765
00:35:21,710 --> 00:35:24,043
-Yeah, I can tweak it
a little more.
-Yeah.
766
00:35:24,043 --> 00:35:25,476
-That was quick.
-Just a hair.
767
00:35:25,476 --> 00:35:28,410
It's gonna be on the engine,
so it doesn't have to be,
like, uh,
768
00:35:28,476 --> 00:35:30,576
I would say, like,
perfectly dead on.
769
00:35:30,576 --> 00:35:31,810
As long as it's really close.
770
00:35:31,877 --> 00:35:33,276
Just a little bit
more tweaking
771
00:35:33,276 --> 00:35:34,777
and I think
we'll have the
color dead on.
772
00:35:50,510 --> 00:35:51,910
Ensure everything's shining.
773
00:35:51,910 --> 00:35:53,576
You wanted blue,
774
00:35:53,576 --> 00:35:54,476
you got blue.
775
00:35:54,476 --> 00:35:57,143
I think it looks pretty cool.
776
00:35:57,143 --> 00:35:58,309
[drilling]
777
00:36:00,677 --> 00:36:02,610
Mark this and cut that.
778
00:36:19,710 --> 00:36:21,610
[spraying]
779
00:36:25,376 --> 00:36:28,410
[spraying]
780
00:36:28,476 --> 00:36:30,910
What do y'all think?
Look at this.
781
00:36:36,043 --> 00:36:40,176
Contrast of this material
makes everything pop.
782
00:36:40,176 --> 00:36:41,710
The thicker thread on this,
783
00:36:41,710 --> 00:36:43,143
I think it's coming out great.
784
00:36:43,143 --> 00:36:45,510
Man, I wish
I could do this
to my truck or something.
785
00:36:45,576 --> 00:36:47,410
I think I'm gonna have
to keep this in mind.
786
00:36:52,109 --> 00:36:53,977
-[Shorty] They want
a cup holder.
-Cup holder.
787
00:36:53,977 --> 00:36:55,910
Have to have a cup holder
for his drinks.
788
00:36:55,910 --> 00:36:58,343
So, that will be mounted
in front of the seat,
789
00:36:58,977 --> 00:37:01,076
on the center trans tunnel.
790
00:37:01,076 --> 00:37:03,410
Sanders wanted cup holders.
791
00:37:03,410 --> 00:37:06,910
So we're gonna build him
a little small console
with cup holders
792
00:37:06,977 --> 00:37:09,410
and add a little
cellphone pocket
on there.
793
00:37:09,410 --> 00:37:10,910
Little tray for his keys,
794
00:37:10,910 --> 00:37:13,710
-his little phone.
-[Pedro] Keys,
quarters, phone.
795
00:37:13,710 --> 00:37:15,476
So, on the center console,
we're gonna use
796
00:37:15,476 --> 00:37:19,143
the same material
we used on the top insert
on the seats,
797
00:37:19,143 --> 00:37:21,777
onto the console,
so it ties everything
all together.
798
00:37:21,777 --> 00:37:23,109
Man, that would look cool.
799
00:37:23,109 --> 00:37:25,610
If you run this around it
and then run that insert
in there.
800
00:37:25,610 --> 00:37:27,276
-Yeah, that would look cool.
-Yeah, give it a contrast.
801
00:37:27,276 --> 00:37:28,143
[Shorty] Yeah.
802
00:37:29,476 --> 00:37:31,176
[machine whirring]
803
00:37:40,209 --> 00:37:42,777
[Shorty] That must be
the smallest console
I've ever seen.
804
00:37:42,777 --> 00:37:43,910
But you know what?
805
00:37:43,910 --> 00:37:45,810
Sanders wants a cup holder,
so that's what he gets.
806
00:37:54,977 --> 00:37:56,243
In the '56 Bel Air,
807
00:37:56,243 --> 00:37:58,877
we finally got the
steering issue figured out.
808
00:37:58,877 --> 00:38:01,543
We decided to go
with just a single
on both ends
809
00:38:01,543 --> 00:38:03,443
and build the motor mount
around them.
810
00:38:03,443 --> 00:38:06,576
And it still turns
with no problems.
811
00:38:10,209 --> 00:38:13,877
We're gonna set up
the front runner
on the '56 right now.
812
00:38:13,877 --> 00:38:15,910
Tapping the holes right now
for the motor mounts.
813
00:38:15,910 --> 00:38:19,276
And then Junior
is getting the hub mart
balancer installed.
814
00:38:22,643 --> 00:38:23,843
Well, it's tight.
815
00:38:23,843 --> 00:38:25,043
-I got you, bro.
-[Joel] Super tight.
816
00:38:25,043 --> 00:38:26,543
[engine starts]
817
00:38:28,109 --> 00:38:29,143
All right, come up.
818
00:38:30,710 --> 00:38:32,810
I got you. It's gonna clear.
819
00:38:35,677 --> 00:38:36,810
All right, we're in.
820
00:38:38,476 --> 00:38:39,977
[drilling]
821
00:38:43,309 --> 00:38:45,610
Joel and Junior
are laying down
the sound deadener.
822
00:38:45,610 --> 00:38:46,576
And I'll tell you what,
823
00:38:46,610 --> 00:38:48,543
this thing is starting
to look really good.
824
00:38:50,877 --> 00:38:52,276
I see you're laying down
the boom.
825
00:38:52,276 --> 00:38:54,743
You know why?
This car needs to
boom out of here.
826
00:38:54,743 --> 00:38:56,276
-Yeah. It's almost there, bro.
-[Shorty] Right?
827
00:38:56,276 --> 00:38:57,343
It's almost like
you should have
828
00:38:57,376 --> 00:38:58,810
done this first so you can
get in here and work.
829
00:38:58,810 --> 00:39:01,143
But I know why
you don't wanna
put it down first, Joel.
830
00:39:01,143 --> 00:39:03,743
I'll turn it into
a tarring animal.
831
00:39:03,743 --> 00:39:04,843
That looks
beautiful, man.
832
00:39:06,443 --> 00:39:08,643
Everyone is getting down
on this '56 Bel Air.
833
00:39:08,643 --> 00:39:10,410
Junior and Joel
are wiring the motor.
834
00:39:10,410 --> 00:39:12,209
And PG and his team
are installing the interior.
835
00:39:17,843 --> 00:39:20,243
So, the upholstery
came out real beautiful.
836
00:39:20,243 --> 00:39:23,010
I think those colors
just hit the spot on it.
837
00:39:23,010 --> 00:39:24,743
Ooh! [grunts]
838
00:39:24,743 --> 00:39:26,410
Boy, that looks nice.
839
00:39:26,410 --> 00:39:28,109
Oh, that feels
comfortable too.
840
00:39:28,109 --> 00:39:30,076
[Shorty] Since all the
engine compartment is blue,
841
00:39:30,076 --> 00:39:31,810
these red letters
just don't jive,
842
00:39:31,810 --> 00:39:33,810
so we're gonna
tone it down
a little bit.
843
00:39:33,810 --> 00:39:35,510
Everything came together
really good.
844
00:39:35,510 --> 00:39:38,777
Everything on the engine bay
that was done, it looks great.
845
00:39:38,777 --> 00:39:40,010
Everything looks really clean.
846
00:39:40,010 --> 00:39:41,643
Joel did a heck
of a job again.
847
00:39:41,643 --> 00:39:43,376
[Shorty] It looks like
it's supposed to.
848
00:39:45,710 --> 00:39:46,843
All right. All right.
849
00:39:46,843 --> 00:39:48,143
Can we get
that delivered
pretty fast?
850
00:39:48,810 --> 00:39:50,443
Okay, sounds good.
851
00:39:50,443 --> 00:39:53,710
It looks like we're gonna
miss our deadline on the
'56 Bel Air by about a week.
852
00:39:54,510 --> 00:39:55,743
[Pete] Oh.
853
00:39:55,743 --> 00:39:57,610
Y'all had me worried
when I talked
to y'all earlier.
854
00:39:57,610 --> 00:40:00,443
I got a call from Sanders
this morning. Well, as always,
855
00:40:00,443 --> 00:40:02,276
customers always
want to get a update
856
00:40:02,276 --> 00:40:04,977
and, uh, get a confirmation
on how we're looking
on the delivery date.
857
00:40:04,977 --> 00:40:07,410
You made it seem like it was
just still in pieces.
858
00:40:07,410 --> 00:40:08,410
It kinda is.
859
00:40:08,410 --> 00:40:09,643
We're way more
ahead of the game
860
00:40:09,643 --> 00:40:11,143
than I expected,
to be honest with you.
861
00:40:11,143 --> 00:40:13,943
The car is almost there.
We're in the final lap.
862
00:40:13,943 --> 00:40:15,943
For the most part, the car
looks complete, you know.
863
00:40:15,943 --> 00:40:17,777
-[Pete] Yeah.
-[Shorty] It's your special,
right there.
864
00:40:17,777 --> 00:40:18,910
[Pete] That's my favorite
right there.
865
00:40:18,910 --> 00:40:20,576
-[Shorty] Picasso special.
-[Pete] Love it.
866
00:40:20,576 --> 00:40:22,010
Every time
we tackled something,
867
00:40:22,010 --> 00:40:23,610
uh, we moved on
to something else,
868
00:40:23,610 --> 00:40:25,743
it had to be reconfigured.
869
00:40:25,743 --> 00:40:27,943
Just too many obstacles
to overcome.
870
00:40:27,943 --> 00:40:29,076
The car, however,
871
00:40:29,076 --> 00:40:30,710
if you look at it right now,
it looks awesome.
872
00:40:30,710 --> 00:40:32,243
The interior
looks great on it.
873
00:40:32,276 --> 00:40:34,743
All the mechanical,
as far as what Joel
and Junior have done,
874
00:40:34,743 --> 00:40:35,677
it looks amazing.
875
00:40:35,677 --> 00:40:37,043
And then PG's touch.
876
00:40:37,043 --> 00:40:38,877
Look at that.
I like that touch on top.
877
00:40:38,877 --> 00:40:40,877
Gotta go back to the old days,
the nostalgia days.
878
00:40:40,877 --> 00:40:42,743
I'm kinda excited about it
because, well,
879
00:40:42,743 --> 00:40:43,910
it came out amazing.
880
00:40:43,910 --> 00:40:45,410
We set the seat back
just a little bit.
881
00:40:45,410 --> 00:40:47,576
Gave us enough leg room
between the dash and the seat.
882
00:40:47,576 --> 00:40:50,010
The motor looks amazing, man.
The transmission
looks amazing.
883
00:40:50,010 --> 00:40:52,810
[Joel] When I first got Joey
over here to look at
that rear end,
884
00:40:52,810 --> 00:40:54,309
man, I could see it
in his face.
885
00:40:54,309 --> 00:40:57,510
This is one thing that
we're gonna have to
tackle pretty fast, and,
886
00:40:57,510 --> 00:40:59,209
man, oh, did we
get it tackled.
887
00:40:59,209 --> 00:41:00,843
This thing is awesome.
888
00:41:00,843 --> 00:41:02,877
New brake lines,
new fuel lines,
889
00:41:02,877 --> 00:41:04,010
new gas tank.
890
00:41:04,010 --> 00:41:06,376
Every inch on this car
we touched, you know.
891
00:41:06,376 --> 00:41:08,743
The only good thing is
it had a solid paint job.
892
00:41:08,743 --> 00:41:11,543
The trim was pretty solid.
There was a few pieces
missing.
893
00:41:11,543 --> 00:41:14,643
We got that on order,
so I think we're gonna make
this a really beautiful car.
894
00:41:14,643 --> 00:41:17,543
[Pete]
All the wiring is hidden.
You can't even find it.
895
00:41:17,543 --> 00:41:18,910
The LS looks amazing.
896
00:41:18,910 --> 00:41:21,677
The matching color to match
the body of the car.
897
00:41:21,677 --> 00:41:23,343
Small little details
in the back covers
898
00:41:23,343 --> 00:41:25,143
that Shorty touched
came out amazing.
899
00:41:25,143 --> 00:41:28,076
[Shorty] If Pete
fits in there,
anybody gonna fit.
900
00:41:28,076 --> 00:41:29,410
[grunts] Oh, yeah.
901
00:41:29,510 --> 00:41:31,243
-I mean, how does that
feel to you?
-Yeah.
902
00:41:31,243 --> 00:41:34,276
That's good right there.
Just real tight dash
to the seat.
903
00:41:34,276 --> 00:41:36,309
Sanders is almost my height,
904
00:41:36,309 --> 00:41:37,643
so I think
this will be perfect.
905
00:41:37,643 --> 00:41:39,443
I know we got
some silk plates on here.
906
00:41:39,443 --> 00:41:41,943
They're on back order.
Other small things are
waiting to get here.
907
00:41:41,943 --> 00:41:43,109
Especially the wheels.
908
00:41:43,143 --> 00:41:45,576
We got some nice raceline
billets coming for the car.
909
00:41:45,576 --> 00:41:46,943
I can't wait for them
to arrive
910
00:41:46,943 --> 00:41:48,877
so we can put this car
finally on the ground.
911
00:41:48,877 --> 00:41:51,209
In the end,
I think the motor mounts
worked out great.
912
00:41:51,209 --> 00:41:52,576
The steering is dead on.
913
00:41:52,576 --> 00:41:55,476
This thing should probably
do around 450 to the wheels,
914
00:41:55,476 --> 00:41:58,109
so it's gonna be
an unstoppable car
going down the road.
915
00:41:58,109 --> 00:41:59,376
We're way ahead
of the game.
916
00:41:59,376 --> 00:42:00,643
We're not done,
unfortunately,
917
00:42:00,643 --> 00:42:02,109
but, I think,
with Sanders,
918
00:42:02,109 --> 00:42:03,543
if he were to
walk here himself,
919
00:42:03,543 --> 00:42:04,777
he'd be excited about it.
920
00:42:04,777 --> 00:42:06,109
I'm disappointed,
but I'm excited.
921
00:42:06,109 --> 00:42:07,309
-Yeah.
-Both,
922
00:42:07,309 --> 00:42:09,710
because, you know, I know
how Joel is, you know,
923
00:42:09,710 --> 00:42:11,109
he wanted to
get this car done.
924
00:42:11,109 --> 00:42:13,710
If you look at the car now,
compared to how it came in,
925
00:42:13,710 --> 00:42:15,309
I mean,
it's amazingly different.
926
00:42:15,309 --> 00:42:17,143
This was a big
challenge for us.
927
00:42:17,143 --> 00:42:19,143
On the back seat,
it was like a puzzle
928
00:42:19,143 --> 00:42:21,443
without the parts there,
and we got it done.
929
00:42:21,443 --> 00:42:23,143
Once we button up
everything we need to,
930
00:42:23,143 --> 00:42:24,877
it's gonna be
like Sanders wanted,
931
00:42:24,877 --> 00:42:26,143
Greased Lightnin'.
932
00:42:26,143 --> 00:42:28,376
Let's find out what he says.
I hope he's excited like I am.
933
00:42:28,376 --> 00:42:30,276
And I appreciate
the hard work, guys.
934
00:42:30,276 --> 00:42:31,209
It looks amazing, man.
935
00:42:31,209 --> 00:42:32,610
-Let me know
what he says.
-Okay.
936
00:42:32,610 --> 00:42:33,710
-Thank you, guys.
-All right, man.
937
00:42:34,843 --> 00:42:36,943
We just got the wheels in
for the '56.
938
00:42:36,943 --> 00:42:38,343
Super excited to see
what they're gonna look like.
939
00:42:43,843 --> 00:42:46,143
[Shorty exclaiming]
940
00:42:46,143 --> 00:42:47,977
Damn! That's a bad-ass wheel.
941
00:42:47,977 --> 00:42:50,276
Man, that makes
a huge difference.
942
00:42:50,276 --> 00:42:53,010
The new racelines
that we just put on
the '56 Bel Air
943
00:42:53,010 --> 00:42:54,043
look amazing.
944
00:42:54,043 --> 00:42:56,343
The wheels make
all the difference.
945
00:42:59,510 --> 00:43:01,977
So, I heard, Pete,
you're a break dancer.
946
00:43:01,977 --> 00:43:03,977
I'm here to challenge
you and Junior.
947
00:43:03,977 --> 00:43:06,010
We never turn down
a challenge.
948
00:43:06,010 --> 00:43:07,010
I need to sit
down for this.
949
00:43:07,010 --> 00:43:08,476
-Oh, let me see.
-[rap music plays]
950
00:43:10,209 --> 00:43:11,710
[all exclaiming]
951
00:43:11,710 --> 00:43:13,076
[all laughing]
952
00:43:14,209 --> 00:43:15,143
Bring it on.
953
00:43:15,143 --> 00:43:17,376
-[dance music playing]
-Oh, man.
954
00:43:18,376 --> 00:43:20,877
-Oh. Oh, my God!
-[all cheering]
955
00:43:20,877 --> 00:43:22,877
[man] I haven't
seen one of these
in a long time.
956
00:43:22,877 --> 00:43:23,843
[all cheering]
957
00:43:23,843 --> 00:43:26,010
[Pedro] Grandmaster PG.
958
00:43:26,010 --> 00:43:26,710
And I'm stuck in form
and hitting the saw machines.
