1
00:00:01,309 --> 00:00:03,510
Well, all right, y'all.
2
00:00:03,510 --> 00:00:05,610
[Bill] You know,
I'm getting excited
about the old tanker,
3
00:00:05,610 --> 00:00:07,343
next thing is that new diesel.
4
00:00:07,410 --> 00:00:09,243
-A lot of motor in there.
-[both chuckle]
5
00:00:09,309 --> 00:00:10,810
[Ryan] Where are the pedals
gonna go?
6
00:00:11,410 --> 00:00:12,810
We need some stacks.
7
00:00:12,810 --> 00:00:14,010
[Carlos] Nice, bright chrome.
8
00:00:14,010 --> 00:00:16,243
Exactly. It's really
gonna wake it up.
9
00:00:16,309 --> 00:00:18,443
-Kinda jealous now.
I'm really liking it.
-[Bill chuckles]
10
00:00:19,510 --> 00:00:21,343
[Rick] This is our '37 Ford.
11
00:00:21,410 --> 00:00:23,010
[Bill] We're gonna go a little
backwards on this one.
12
00:00:23,010 --> 00:00:25,443
This customer is gonna take
this beautiful '37,
13
00:00:25,510 --> 00:00:26,410
that's complete,
14
00:00:26,443 --> 00:00:27,943
and go back
to a factory style.
15
00:00:28,010 --> 00:00:28,877
Yes, he is.
16
00:00:28,910 --> 00:00:30,043
Customer tell us
what they want
17
00:00:30,043 --> 00:00:30,443
Customer tell us
what they want
18
00:00:30,510 --> 00:00:32,510
and it's up to
us to figure out
how to make it happen.
19
00:00:33,843 --> 00:00:35,643
-Oh, my God, Bill!
-[Bill chuckles]
20
00:00:39,443 --> 00:00:41,043
I'm Bill Carlton.
21
00:00:41,043 --> 00:00:43,910
I built my first truck
when I was 16.
22
00:00:43,910 --> 00:00:45,376
And ever since,
23
00:00:45,376 --> 00:00:48,309
me and my guys have been
out here creating
with our hands.
24
00:00:50,309 --> 00:00:52,643
Building the biggest, lowest,
25
00:00:52,710 --> 00:00:55,410
and baddest custom trucks
and cars in the game.
26
00:00:57,143 --> 00:00:59,510
People don't come here
for what they need,
27
00:00:59,510 --> 00:01:00,043
they come here
for what they want.
28
00:01:00,043 --> 00:01:01,410
they come here
for what they want.
29
00:01:03,410 --> 00:01:06,410
This is Texas Metal.
30
00:01:11,810 --> 00:01:13,309
We'll try picking it up
on that side.
31
00:01:15,910 --> 00:01:17,910
[Bill] You know,
here at Ekstensive,
we're always trying
32
00:01:17,910 --> 00:01:20,209
to figure out
a smooth path. Right?
33
00:01:20,209 --> 00:01:21,309
When something don't work,
34
00:01:21,943 --> 00:01:23,309
let's try the next thing.
35
00:01:23,309 --> 00:01:24,343
Gotta tighten that up.
36
00:01:25,209 --> 00:01:26,910
[Bill] So, here we are.
37
00:01:26,910 --> 00:01:28,143
A friend of mine
needs some help.
38
00:01:28,209 --> 00:01:30,043
His trailer
is built improperly.
39
00:01:30,043 --> 00:01:31,243
His trailer
is built improperly.
40
00:01:31,309 --> 00:01:33,743
He called me, "Hey, man,
can you help me out?"
41
00:01:33,810 --> 00:01:34,777
Watch out, Wally.
42
00:01:34,777 --> 00:01:36,743
We're super busy.
Super backed up.
43
00:01:36,810 --> 00:01:38,109
Don't have time
to do anything,
44
00:01:38,109 --> 00:01:40,209
but a friend of mine
needs some help,
45
00:01:40,209 --> 00:01:41,410
so we're gonna help him out.
46
00:01:41,410 --> 00:01:42,610
Pick it up!
47
00:01:44,343 --> 00:01:47,209
Get ready to jump off if you
need to get off the forklift
48
00:01:47,209 --> 00:01:48,710
if it goes all the way over.
49
00:01:49,610 --> 00:01:50,643
[man] We got it moving!
50
00:01:50,710 --> 00:01:52,109
[Bill] Cut all its axles off.
51
00:01:52,109 --> 00:01:54,109
-[man] We gotta cut 'em off?
-They're too far back.
52
00:01:56,209 --> 00:01:57,043
Terrible.
53
00:01:57,109 --> 00:01:59,109
There's never a set path
from A to B.
54
00:01:59,109 --> 00:02:00,043
Getting the job done,
start here, finish here.
55
00:02:00,043 --> 00:02:01,643
Getting the job done,
start here, finish here.
56
00:02:02,610 --> 00:02:04,176
In a job like this,
57
00:02:04,176 --> 00:02:06,710
you think, "Oh, you know,
we could have put this up
on the horses.
58
00:02:06,710 --> 00:02:09,410
We could have spent a lot
of time blocking it all up.
59
00:02:09,410 --> 00:02:10,677
And working underneath."
60
00:02:10,710 --> 00:02:13,010
But the easiest route,
it's just gonna be
to flip it over.
61
00:02:15,410 --> 00:02:18,843
And you think we're crazy,
but hey, we gotta do it
the most efficiently.
62
00:02:20,243 --> 00:02:21,943
[thuds]
63
00:02:21,943 --> 00:02:24,043
[Bill] At the end of the day,
all that matters is getting
the job done.
64
00:02:24,109 --> 00:02:25,410
Getting the job done right.
65
00:02:25,410 --> 00:02:27,910
And whatever you gotta do
to make that happen,
66
00:02:27,910 --> 00:02:29,010
we're gonna make it happen.
67
00:02:29,010 --> 00:02:30,043
Getting it back over
is going to be fun.
68
00:02:30,043 --> 00:02:30,910
Getting it back over
is going to be fun.
69
00:02:32,443 --> 00:02:35,410
On this build,
we gotta cut the axles off
and move 'em forward.
70
00:02:35,410 --> 00:02:37,243
On the next build,
it's gonna be something else.
71
00:02:38,810 --> 00:02:40,910
We're in the business
of making things work.
72
00:02:40,910 --> 00:02:42,610
The customer tells us
what they want
73
00:02:42,610 --> 00:02:44,810
and it's up to
us to figure out
how to make it happen.
74
00:02:48,209 --> 00:02:50,910
We gotta a call from a guy
who has a '37 Ford.
75
00:02:50,910 --> 00:02:52,576
Needed a little work.
76
00:02:52,576 --> 00:02:54,543
So I thought I'd just
jump in the van and come see
what's happening.
77
00:02:54,610 --> 00:02:55,410
[door closes]
78
00:02:56,510 --> 00:02:58,143
-Rick.
-How're you doing?
79
00:02:58,209 --> 00:02:59,309
Hey, man. Good morning.
80
00:02:59,309 --> 00:03:00,043
This is the one
we were talking about?
81
00:03:00,043 --> 00:03:00,510
This is the one
we were talking about?
82
00:03:00,510 --> 00:03:02,710
This is our '37 Ford.
83
00:03:02,710 --> 00:03:05,209
-[Bill] I know you get a lot
of looks with this one.
- [Rick] Yes, we do.
84
00:03:05,209 --> 00:03:07,010
People are always hanging out
their windows at us
85
00:03:07,010 --> 00:03:08,843
-and waving us to stop.
-Yes.
86
00:03:08,910 --> 00:03:11,043
[Bill] The '37 Coupe
was a really popular car
87
00:03:11,109 --> 00:03:13,343
that a lot
of people customized.
88
00:03:13,410 --> 00:03:14,910
-How long you had it?
-Just got it.
89
00:03:14,910 --> 00:03:16,643
So, you bought it as is?
90
00:03:16,710 --> 00:03:18,343
Yup. Haven't done
a thing to it.
91
00:03:18,410 --> 00:03:20,309
Always had a dream
to drive a Coupe.
92
00:03:20,309 --> 00:03:24,710
But after driving it,
we found, there's some things
that don't quite fit us,
93
00:03:24,710 --> 00:03:26,710
so that's why
we gave Bill a call.
94
00:03:26,710 --> 00:03:28,910
So, what's the main issues
that you have with it?
95
00:03:28,910 --> 00:03:30,043
Oh, I'd like to go back
to door handles on it.
96
00:03:30,043 --> 00:03:31,710
Oh, I'd like to go back
to door handles on it.
97
00:03:31,710 --> 00:03:33,710
I've always had
in the back of my mind
98
00:03:33,710 --> 00:03:35,543
that if the key fob was dead,
99
00:03:35,610 --> 00:03:37,810
-I won't be able
to get inside of it.
-[Bill] Can't get in.
100
00:03:37,810 --> 00:03:39,309
I see your point there,
101
00:03:39,309 --> 00:03:42,010
but, man, taking such
a clean, smooth car
102
00:03:42,010 --> 00:03:43,343
and putting a door handle
on it...
103
00:03:43,343 --> 00:03:45,710
And retaining the flames?
You wanna keep
the flames on it?
104
00:03:45,710 --> 00:03:47,810
[Rick] If we could, yeah.
105
00:03:47,810 --> 00:03:51,810
Finding that right handle
is gonna be the challenge
to keep this clean look.
106
00:03:51,810 --> 00:03:53,209
That's why I gave you a call.
107
00:03:53,209 --> 00:03:55,410
Most of the time,
we're shaving door handles.
108
00:03:55,410 --> 00:03:58,043
You know, taking off
that bulky hardware
109
00:03:58,109 --> 00:03:59,510
and just making it slick.
110
00:03:59,510 --> 00:04:00,043
This is just
the total opposite.
111
00:04:00,043 --> 00:04:02,043
This is just
the total opposite.
112
00:04:02,043 --> 00:04:04,343
Let me show you back here
what other things
113
00:04:04,410 --> 00:04:06,610
that are hard
to work with for us.
114
00:04:06,610 --> 00:04:07,943
License plate.
115
00:04:07,943 --> 00:04:10,510
I wanna get that upside,
so I don't have to lay
on the ground
116
00:04:10,510 --> 00:04:12,043
to change my license tag.
117
00:04:12,109 --> 00:04:13,376
-Yeah, it's a pain
in the butt.
-[Rick] Yeah.
118
00:04:13,376 --> 00:04:14,943
-Especially as low
as this car is, right?
-[Rick] Yeah.
119
00:04:15,010 --> 00:04:17,710
You know, knees and arms
don't work that good anymore.
120
00:04:17,710 --> 00:04:19,109
-So...
-[Bill chuckles]
121
00:04:19,109 --> 00:04:22,309
I really do kinda like
the older style back
to the rat rod days.
122
00:04:22,309 --> 00:04:24,410
My hope was to put some
123
00:04:24,410 --> 00:04:26,610
factory-looking
tail lights back on it.
124
00:04:26,610 --> 00:04:29,443
And then, the tag bracket
would be with the tag light.
125
00:04:29,510 --> 00:04:30,043
So, Rick, you wanna
take this clean, smooth
and flush mount LEDs,
126
00:04:30,043 --> 00:04:33,443
So, Rick, you wanna
take this clean, smooth
and flush mount LEDs,
127
00:04:33,510 --> 00:04:36,410
you wanna scrap that and put
the factory tail lights.
128
00:04:36,410 --> 00:04:39,143
I guess, it's what is gonna
end up happening to be.
129
00:04:39,143 --> 00:04:41,010
[Bill chuckling] Right.
130
00:04:41,010 --> 00:04:44,043
You know, in a car like this,
most of the time, that's one
of the first things to go
131
00:04:44,043 --> 00:04:46,543
is the big tail lights
that hang off the back,
132
00:04:46,610 --> 00:04:48,109
but I see your point here.
133
00:04:48,109 --> 00:04:50,510
If you gotta have the factory
looking lights back in it,
134
00:04:50,510 --> 00:04:53,109
we're gonna find something
that looks real cool
135
00:04:53,109 --> 00:04:55,143
and gonna fit the car
really well.
136
00:04:55,143 --> 00:04:57,743
This car, you just don't throw
any door handle on the door.
137
00:04:57,810 --> 00:04:59,843
The same with the tail lights
in the back.
138
00:04:59,910 --> 00:05:00,043
You know, that all
plays in together.
139
00:05:00,043 --> 00:05:02,943
You know, that all
plays in together.
140
00:05:03,010 --> 00:05:06,910
When you add one thing,
you can't just add
another thing randomly.
141
00:05:06,910 --> 00:05:09,610
That would just completely
destroy the look of the car.
142
00:05:09,610 --> 00:05:11,209
[Rick] See, if I can get
the doors open.
143
00:05:11,209 --> 00:05:14,209
I wanted to show you
some stuff that's really,
needs a lot of work.
144
00:05:17,843 --> 00:05:20,510
[Bill] You got a really clean
interior in here
145
00:05:20,510 --> 00:05:21,910
except for that
steering wheel.
146
00:05:21,910 --> 00:05:24,109
I'll donate it to you
if you want it.
147
00:05:24,109 --> 00:05:26,410
Turning the corners,
it's not very comfortable.
148
00:05:26,410 --> 00:05:29,810
It's hard on your thumbs.
You get stuck in that 37.
149
00:05:29,810 --> 00:05:30,043
-I'd like to go back with
a banjo wheel if we could.
-Definitely.
150
00:05:30,043 --> 00:05:33,410
-I'd like to go back with
a banjo wheel if we could.
-Definitely.
151
00:05:33,410 --> 00:05:34,610
I don't know
what they were thinking
152
00:05:34,643 --> 00:05:36,610
when they came up with this
steering wheel for this car.
153
00:05:36,610 --> 00:05:38,743
It just...
it looks cartoonish.
154
00:05:38,810 --> 00:05:41,810
I mean, that's customizing
gone wrong right there.
155
00:05:41,810 --> 00:05:44,843
This is a whole lot
of one color in here.
156
00:05:44,910 --> 00:05:48,209
You know, I think,
maybe a little piece
of polished aluminum around
157
00:05:48,209 --> 00:05:50,109
to tie everything else
in together.
158
00:05:50,109 --> 00:05:52,743
-And even bringing it up
on the door panels itself
-[Rick] Oh, yeah.
159
00:05:52,810 --> 00:05:56,309
contrast on the dash
and the door panels
is a must on this.
160
00:05:56,309 --> 00:05:58,010
-I think it will really
wake it up.
-Okay.
161
00:05:58,010 --> 00:06:00,043
And give you a little
personalization there, too.
Make it yours.
162
00:06:00,043 --> 00:06:01,209
And give you a little
personalization there, too.
Make it yours.
163
00:06:01,209 --> 00:06:02,943
[Rick] Sounds wonderful.
164
00:06:10,410 --> 00:06:13,043
[Bill] You know, they say
in life, it's the small things
that count. Right?
165
00:06:13,743 --> 00:06:15,410
Well, in custom...
166
00:06:15,410 --> 00:06:17,910
it's the small things
that just drive you crazy.
167
00:06:20,043 --> 00:06:21,410
You know,
like a job like this,
168
00:06:21,410 --> 00:06:23,610
"Oh, just put some
door handles in it."
169
00:06:23,610 --> 00:06:27,043
Picking the right handle,
putting it in the right place
170
00:06:27,109 --> 00:06:29,209
and then, making all
the mechanism behind it,
171
00:06:29,209 --> 00:06:30,043
you need that mechanical part
of it to work every time.
172
00:06:30,043 --> 00:06:32,610
you need that mechanical part
of it to work every time.
173
00:06:32,610 --> 00:06:34,543
It turns that little bitty job
174
00:06:34,610 --> 00:06:37,910
into something very,
very time consuming.
175
00:06:37,910 --> 00:06:40,843
The worst thing
we could do is, you know,
176
00:06:40,910 --> 00:06:43,209
check off that list
everything he wants,
177
00:06:43,209 --> 00:06:46,510
and just, you know,
having that eye sore
right at the end.
178
00:06:46,510 --> 00:06:50,843
That your eye just goes right
to, like, "Oh, man, that was
a terrible decision."
179
00:06:50,910 --> 00:06:52,543
That's definitely what
we don't wanna do.
180
00:06:52,610 --> 00:06:54,910
We want everybody
to look at this car
181
00:06:54,910 --> 00:06:57,643
and go, "Man,
guys did a good job.
182
00:06:57,710 --> 00:06:58,877
That's a good looking car."
183
00:07:14,610 --> 00:07:16,710
What's happening?
They said you wanted
to see me.
184
00:07:16,710 --> 00:07:18,209
Yeah, man. I'm gonna
need your help.
185
00:07:18,209 --> 00:07:20,143
It's a beautiful looking '37.
186
00:07:20,143 --> 00:07:21,910
So, what are we doing?
Maybe, a little buff?
187
00:07:21,910 --> 00:07:23,810
Maybe, a little wet sand,
you know?
188
00:07:23,810 --> 00:07:26,309
Well, we're gonna go a little
backwards on this one.
189
00:07:26,309 --> 00:07:30,043
-[Jamel] Backwards means...
-[Bill] He wants to put
door handles
190
00:07:30,043 --> 00:07:30,143
-[Jamel] Backwards means...
-[Bill] He wants to put
door handles
191
00:07:30,143 --> 00:07:32,010
-back in the car.
-Door handles?
192
00:07:32,010 --> 00:07:34,743
He wants to make it a little
more user friendly for him.
193
00:07:34,810 --> 00:07:36,610
You already know.
Hitting that remote,
194
00:07:36,610 --> 00:07:39,209
it don't work
every single time.
195
00:07:39,209 --> 00:07:41,309
-Yeah.
-And he just wants
that reliability
196
00:07:41,309 --> 00:07:43,543
of just going
and opening the door.
197
00:07:43,610 --> 00:07:45,943
-You gotta come with it
on this one.
-I see it.
198
00:07:46,010 --> 00:07:48,610
[Bill] We're gonna try
and not to damage the flames.
199
00:07:48,610 --> 00:07:51,309
We have to have
somebody come in
and touch all that up.
200
00:07:51,309 --> 00:07:53,710
Cool. So, we just need
to be real precise.
201
00:07:53,710 --> 00:07:55,610
Measure it twice, drill once.
202
00:07:55,610 --> 00:07:58,143
-You're right.
-You know, and make sure
we're on point.
203
00:07:58,209 --> 00:08:00,043
Not only that, there are some
other things, too.
204
00:08:00,043 --> 00:08:00,810
Not only that, there are some
other things, too.
205
00:08:00,810 --> 00:08:03,010
It has the smooth LEDs
in the back.
206
00:08:03,010 --> 00:08:04,010
Yeah, they're dope.
207
00:08:04,010 --> 00:08:05,376
He don't want them.
208
00:08:05,376 --> 00:08:08,309
He wants, like, the factory
tail lights put back
in the car.
209
00:08:08,309 --> 00:08:09,643
But, like, factory-factory?
210
00:08:09,710 --> 00:08:11,943
With the arms
and the steel and the...
211
00:08:12,010 --> 00:08:14,010
You know, we're not
gonna do that.
212
00:08:14,010 --> 00:08:16,443
We're not gonna go with
the actual factory tail light,
213
00:08:16,510 --> 00:08:18,843
but more
of factory-style look.
214
00:08:18,910 --> 00:08:21,309
So, it's up to us to come up
with something cool.
215
00:08:21,309 --> 00:08:22,309
Right on.
216
00:08:22,309 --> 00:08:24,710
[Bill] And he wants
a better license plate.
217
00:08:24,710 --> 00:08:28,610
This customer's gonna
take this beautiful '37
that's complete,
218
00:08:28,610 --> 00:08:30,043
and we're gonna go ahead
and put some factory handles
back in it.
219
00:08:30,043 --> 00:08:31,643
and we're gonna go ahead
and put some factory handles
back in it.
220
00:08:31,710 --> 00:08:34,710
And then get rid of these
beautifully flushed LEDs
221
00:08:34,710 --> 00:08:37,343
-and go back
with a factory style.
-Yes, sir.
222
00:08:37,410 --> 00:08:40,410
It's still gonna have that
clean, smooth look,
223
00:08:40,410 --> 00:08:41,610
still have that style.
224
00:08:41,610 --> 00:08:43,209
[Jamel] Hell, yeah.
225
00:08:43,209 --> 00:08:45,810
You know, as far
as the exterior, that's it.
226
00:08:45,810 --> 00:08:46,710
It's all you on that.
227
00:08:46,710 --> 00:08:49,309
-Cool.
-I mean, next is John Burgess.
228
00:08:49,309 --> 00:08:50,710
He can get with it
on the inside.
229
00:08:50,710 --> 00:08:54,209
It looks super-smooth
on the inside, too.
230
00:08:54,209 --> 00:08:56,510
But it's a little plain,
so we're gonna wake it up.
231
00:08:56,510 --> 00:08:58,443
And make it cool looking
for him.
232
00:08:58,510 --> 00:09:00,043
Right on. Well, what about
that gaudy looking
steering wheel?
233
00:09:00,043 --> 00:09:01,910
Right on. Well, what about
that gaudy looking
steering wheel?
234
00:09:01,910 --> 00:09:04,143
That thing there is rough.
235
00:09:04,143 --> 00:09:05,510
It looks like a birthday cake.
236
00:09:05,510 --> 00:09:07,910
-You know, like,
car on the bottom.
-[Bill chuckles]
237
00:09:07,910 --> 00:09:10,043
[Jamel] With... "I turned 37.
238
00:09:10,043 --> 00:09:12,143
-Brought the candles."
-[Bill chuckles]
239
00:09:12,143 --> 00:09:14,810
That is somebody's
bad idea right there.
240
00:09:14,810 --> 00:09:16,910
That's one the first things
that's gotta go for sure.
241
00:09:16,910 --> 00:09:19,610
-Yes.
-[both laugh]
242
00:09:21,143 --> 00:09:23,143
[thunder rumbling]
243
00:09:25,410 --> 00:09:29,043
[Bill] Adding all the things
back on the '37 Coupe
that we need to add on...
244
00:09:29,043 --> 00:09:30,043
It's a little bit of challenge
to use those factory parts
and still make it custom.
245
00:09:30,043 --> 00:09:33,243
It's a little bit of challenge
to use those factory parts
and still make it custom.
246
00:09:33,309 --> 00:09:34,710
You know, there's no manual
for this,
247
00:09:34,710 --> 00:09:36,410
so we're gonna do
what we always do.
248
00:09:36,410 --> 00:09:37,576
Figure it out.
249
00:09:37,610 --> 00:09:40,209
[Jamel] The customer wanted
that old retro look.
250
00:09:40,209 --> 00:09:44,043
So, what we're gonna do
is we're gonna fit some
retro style lights in here,
251
00:09:44,043 --> 00:09:46,410
but still keep the cool,
custom look.
252
00:09:46,410 --> 00:09:49,410
We're just gonna drill a hole
and slowly recess
these lights,
253
00:09:49,410 --> 00:09:51,109
so we can get it in that hip
254
00:09:51,109 --> 00:09:53,443
and then go ahead
and mold it in.
255
00:09:53,510 --> 00:09:55,710
And do a little bit
of fiberglass work.
256
00:09:55,710 --> 00:09:57,743
And that's where the fun
is gonna begin.
257
00:09:58,443 --> 00:10:00,043
[drilling]
258
00:10:00,043 --> 00:10:00,510
[drilling]
259
00:10:08,643 --> 00:10:10,910
The toughest part
about doing a job like this
260
00:10:10,910 --> 00:10:13,610
is getting the tail lights
actually go in the hip
261
00:10:13,610 --> 00:10:17,243
without going too far out
to the outside of the body
262
00:10:17,309 --> 00:10:19,643
and going too far in.
263
00:10:22,910 --> 00:10:26,910
We're gonna go ahead
and sand out about four inches
all the way around.
264
00:10:30,410 --> 00:10:32,510
That way that allows
our fiberglass
265
00:10:32,510 --> 00:10:34,243
and our cosmetic repair
to bite.
266
00:10:34,309 --> 00:10:36,810
So, once that I get this
basket all sanded off,
267
00:10:36,810 --> 00:10:39,910
it will allow us to get
a good adhesion
268
00:10:39,910 --> 00:10:43,443
between the panel, the basket
and the fiberglass.
269
00:10:46,610 --> 00:10:47,443
Cool.
270
00:10:51,410 --> 00:10:52,443
That looks really good.
271
00:10:57,510 --> 00:10:58,510
Uh-oh.
272
00:10:59,810 --> 00:11:00,043
I bet you the battery
is dead. [chuckles]
273
00:11:00,043 --> 00:11:03,143
I bet you the battery
is dead. [chuckles]
274
00:11:09,810 --> 00:11:11,743
Fully cures in an hour.
275
00:11:11,810 --> 00:11:14,109
But if we only got one to two
minutes working time,
276
00:11:14,109 --> 00:11:16,410
that means it hardens up
pretty quick.
277
00:11:16,410 --> 00:11:17,610
[Bill] Just get it in place
278
00:11:17,610 --> 00:11:19,610
-and put some tape
on it to offset.
-[Jamel] Correct.
279
00:11:19,610 --> 00:11:21,010
De-clamp time, five minutes.
280
00:11:22,209 --> 00:11:24,109
[Bill] The project like
the '37 Coupe,
281
00:11:24,109 --> 00:11:27,243
it's proof that every build
has its own set of rules.
282
00:11:27,309 --> 00:11:29,410
What do you figure?
About an inch out
on the bottom?
283
00:11:29,410 --> 00:11:30,543
[Bill] I mean, that's good.
284
00:11:30,610 --> 00:11:32,510
There's just gonna be
a big gap now on the top.
285
00:11:32,510 --> 00:11:33,997
-If it's all, you know, I hope
you place it in and check it.
-Cool, cool.
286
00:11:33,997 --> 00:11:35,810
-If it's all, you know, I hope
you place it in and check it.
-Cool, cool.
287
00:11:35,810 --> 00:11:39,309
Jamel did a real good job
of cutting the holes,
getting everything prepped.
288
00:11:39,309 --> 00:11:42,309
We're ready to actually
mount the light in the hole.
289
00:11:42,309 --> 00:11:46,743
The only thing left is to
make sure everything
is nice and straight.
290
00:11:46,810 --> 00:11:48,410
Vertical and horizontally.
291
00:11:51,510 --> 00:11:53,510
Put on this side,
so it kinda balances it.
292
00:11:53,510 --> 00:11:55,643
How we're gonna do that is...
293
00:11:55,710 --> 00:11:58,510
I'm gonna put a piece
of aluminum tubing across here
294
00:11:58,510 --> 00:12:02,209
with a couple of pieces
of tubing as a spacer
clamped to it.
295
00:12:02,209 --> 00:12:03,997
I've already taped the light
kinda where it goes.
296
00:12:03,997 --> 00:12:04,510
I've already taped the light
kinda where it goes.
297
00:12:04,510 --> 00:12:05,910
It looks pretty close,
298
00:12:05,910 --> 00:12:07,710
but if that tubing busts up
299
00:12:07,710 --> 00:12:10,510
to the light perfectly flat
on both sides,
300
00:12:10,510 --> 00:12:13,143
you know
they're a 100 percent true.
301
00:12:13,209 --> 00:12:14,643
Man, Jamel,
we know it's on the money
302
00:12:14,710 --> 00:12:16,309
-because there's no...
-No guess work.
303
00:12:16,309 --> 00:12:19,143
-This jig that you built
is amazing.
-Exactly.
304
00:12:19,143 --> 00:12:22,543
-You know, there's no way
you can go wrong with this.
-Hell, yeah.
305
00:12:24,243 --> 00:12:26,209
So, everything's
lined up perfectly.
306
00:12:26,209 --> 00:12:28,143
We're gonna go ahead and put
some panel bond in here
307
00:12:28,209 --> 00:12:29,743
and get these things
in here secure.
308
00:12:31,710 --> 00:12:33,810
The reason why
we use panel bond
309
00:12:33,810 --> 00:12:33,997
is because we're adhering
two different types
of material.
310
00:12:33,997 --> 00:12:37,043
is because we're adhering
two different types
of material.
311
00:12:37,109 --> 00:12:39,810
You can't weld metal
to fiberglass,
312
00:12:39,810 --> 00:12:42,810
so what we're gonna take here
is some two part panel bond,
313
00:12:42,810 --> 00:12:44,043
make it lock up quick.
314
00:12:44,043 --> 00:12:45,943
That way we can go ahead
and move the jig
315
00:12:46,010 --> 00:12:48,410
and continue to build
this beautiful '37.
316
00:12:51,710 --> 00:12:53,810
All right. Cool.
317
00:12:53,810 --> 00:12:57,410
Now, that we have
our metal basket
for our retro tail light
318
00:12:57,410 --> 00:13:01,710
installed and solid
thanks to our panel bonds,
319
00:13:01,710 --> 00:13:03,997
we can go ahead and start
doing some fiberglass work.
320
00:13:03,997 --> 00:13:04,743
we can go ahead and start
doing some fiberglass work.
321
00:13:04,810 --> 00:13:07,443
The fiber glassing process
is just fiberglass
322
00:13:07,510 --> 00:13:09,743
and resin and then the mat.
323
00:13:09,810 --> 00:13:11,343
I'll take the mat,
324
00:13:11,343 --> 00:13:14,410
I'll cut the little pieces
to where it fits around
the tail light
325
00:13:14,410 --> 00:13:16,443
and fits nice and clean
to where I like it.
326
00:13:16,510 --> 00:13:19,410
So, what we're gonna do
is we're gonna fill in
where we had to make the hole
327
00:13:19,410 --> 00:13:22,710
and add structural integrity
on the backside.
328
00:13:22,710 --> 00:13:27,109
I'm gonna put a couple
of layers of glass in there
to make it solid.
329
00:13:27,109 --> 00:13:29,043
I want no shrinking,
no stretching,
330
00:13:29,043 --> 00:13:31,610
no cracking,
none of that crazy stuff.
331
00:13:33,043 --> 00:13:33,997
So, while I'm underneath
doing structural work,
332
00:13:33,997 --> 00:13:35,810
So, while I'm underneath
doing structural work,
333
00:13:35,810 --> 00:13:39,043
I'm gonna go ahead and remove
these beautiful LEDs
334
00:13:39,109 --> 00:13:40,910
and do the structural part on
the backside, too,
335
00:13:40,910 --> 00:13:42,309
while we have the car
up in the air.
336
00:13:46,443 --> 00:13:49,010
Now, we're just gonna go ahead
and pop these bad boys up.
337
00:13:51,143 --> 00:13:52,510
Once the repairs are done,
338
00:13:52,510 --> 00:13:54,643
it will look like there was
never any LEDs here.
339
00:14:00,209 --> 00:14:01,143
All righty.
340
00:14:01,710 --> 00:14:02,710
Cool.
341
00:14:02,710 --> 00:14:03,997
Now, we'll cut us some
more strips of mat.
342
00:14:03,997 --> 00:14:04,710
Now, we'll cut us some
more strips of mat.
343
00:14:06,510 --> 00:14:08,610
And then, we'll mix up
some resin
344
00:14:08,610 --> 00:14:09,810
and we'll fill our holes.
345
00:14:14,643 --> 00:14:16,843
We're gonna go and let this
cure for 24 hours.
346
00:14:16,910 --> 00:14:20,010
And tomorrow, we'll do
the cosmetic side of it.
347
00:14:22,143 --> 00:14:23,343
[Bill] One thing
about this shop,
348
00:14:23,410 --> 00:14:25,109
there's always
something going on.
349
00:14:25,109 --> 00:14:27,010
And there's always
something up next.
350
00:14:27,010 --> 00:14:29,243
So, while the Coupe
keeps going in one bay,
351
00:14:29,309 --> 00:14:30,877
right next door,
352
00:14:30,877 --> 00:14:33,043
we're trying to knock out
one of the biggest jobs
we ever done.
353
00:14:34,143 --> 00:14:35,209
That tanker truck.
354
00:14:38,043 --> 00:14:40,410
What up, Cleevy?
What up, Cleevy?
355
00:14:41,810 --> 00:14:43,043
What up, Carlosy.
356
00:14:43,043 --> 00:14:44,810
[Carlos chuckles]
What's going on, Billy?
357
00:14:44,810 --> 00:14:46,143
[both chuckle]
358
00:14:46,143 --> 00:14:49,010
Man, you know, I'm getting
excited about the old tanker.
359
00:14:50,643 --> 00:14:52,810
A while back,
this antique old tanker
360
00:14:52,810 --> 00:14:53,943
rolled into the lot.
361
00:14:54,910 --> 00:14:57,209
It's a 1953 white
362
00:14:57,209 --> 00:15:00,510
pulling in that 1951
Fruehauf tanker.
363
00:15:00,510 --> 00:15:02,810
And it's made for a huge,
huge project.
364
00:15:02,810 --> 00:15:03,997
We've done a bunch
of work to it already.
365
00:15:03,997 --> 00:15:05,710
We've done a bunch
of work to it already.
366
00:15:05,710 --> 00:15:07,510
And the front suspension
is done.
367
00:15:07,510 --> 00:15:09,910
The rear suspension is done.
368
00:15:09,910 --> 00:15:12,510
This thing was built before
there was power anything.
369
00:15:12,510 --> 00:15:14,243
And it's really hard to drive.
370
00:15:14,309 --> 00:15:17,309
So, we started building
an independent
front suspension.
371
00:15:17,309 --> 00:15:19,143
And out back,
a heavy duty four link
372
00:15:19,209 --> 00:15:21,543
with air suspension
all around.
373
00:15:21,610 --> 00:15:24,610
Got that engine
and trans down in it.
It's that new diesel.
374
00:15:24,610 --> 00:15:26,309
Oh, yeah.
375
00:15:26,309 --> 00:15:28,510
[Bill] We're replacing that
old worn out engine
376
00:15:28,510 --> 00:15:30,209
with that 12 valve Cummins.
377
00:15:30,209 --> 00:15:33,997
This new engine should produce
about three or four times
more power.
378
00:15:33,997 --> 00:15:34,309
This new engine should produce
about three or four times
more power.
379
00:15:34,309 --> 00:15:36,810
Next thing is getting
everything mounted,
building the motor mounts,
380
00:15:36,810 --> 00:15:38,343
building a transmission mount.
381
00:15:38,410 --> 00:15:40,710
You know,
once it's all mounted,
everything is mocked up.
382
00:15:40,710 --> 00:15:42,543
The firewall is all cut up
and mocked up,
383
00:15:42,610 --> 00:15:44,309
we can blow it all apart.
384
00:15:44,309 --> 00:15:46,643
We can paint the engine
just a bright red, man.
385
00:15:46,710 --> 00:15:48,510
-Really, really wake it up.
-[Carlos] Yeah.
386
00:15:48,510 --> 00:15:51,543
You know, so it looks like
a hot rod semi.
387
00:15:51,610 --> 00:15:53,910
So, I gotta find some of that
dress up stuff,
388
00:15:53,910 --> 00:15:55,810
build it, chrome, whatever.
389
00:15:55,810 --> 00:15:57,543
-We put on in there and...
-Definitely.
390
00:15:57,610 --> 00:15:59,410
release that red off
even more.
391
00:15:59,410 --> 00:16:02,043
When you pop that old hood,
I want you to see, like,
392
00:16:02,109 --> 00:16:03,997
-some bling
underneath there. Right?
-Yeah, we can do that.
393
00:16:03,997 --> 00:16:04,443
-some bling
underneath there. Right?
-Yeah, we can do that.
394
00:16:04,510 --> 00:16:05,410
[Bill] Sparkle.
395
00:16:05,410 --> 00:16:07,010
We need some stacks
396
00:16:07,010 --> 00:16:08,910
coming off the back,
going up each side.
397
00:16:08,910 --> 00:16:10,309
You know, big flat tops.
398
00:16:10,309 --> 00:16:12,810
-Nice, bright chrome.
-Exactly, man.
399
00:16:12,810 --> 00:16:13,943
It's really gonna wake it up.
400
00:16:14,010 --> 00:16:15,243
So, that sounds like
all the front.
401
00:16:15,309 --> 00:16:17,010
What about that...
the trailer park?
402
00:16:17,010 --> 00:16:18,810
[Bill] We're gonna need
a bunch of parts for that,
too, man.
403
00:16:18,810 --> 00:16:21,043
Of course, we're gonna need
a bunch of wheels and tires.
404
00:16:21,109 --> 00:16:23,309
-Whole lot of wheels
and tires.
-[chuckling] Right?
405
00:16:23,309 --> 00:16:24,810
That's gonna be a good order.
406
00:16:24,810 --> 00:16:27,109
Once we take everything out,
we're gonna need
everything new.
407
00:16:27,109 --> 00:16:30,043
A new axle for it, you know,
the bags and all the cording.
408
00:16:30,109 --> 00:16:31,176
The heims and everything.
409
00:16:31,209 --> 00:16:33,743
We need all that to build
all the rear suspension.
410
00:16:33,810 --> 00:16:33,997
-And a lot more air line.
-[chuckling] Yeah, right?
411
00:16:33,997 --> 00:16:36,743
-And a lot more air line.
-[chuckling] Yeah, right?
412
00:16:36,810 --> 00:16:37,810
-All right.
-Let's make it happen.
413
00:16:37,810 --> 00:16:38,710
Cool.
414
00:16:41,643 --> 00:16:42,610
Come on, Cleve.
415
00:16:52,410 --> 00:16:55,109
Well, all right, y'all.
All right, y'all.
416
00:16:55,109 --> 00:16:56,810
[Bill] So, we have the Cummins
mocked up.
417
00:16:56,810 --> 00:16:59,510
Now, Jamie and Ryan are gonna
figure out how to mount it.
418
00:16:59,510 --> 00:17:00,510
What is this?
419
00:17:02,010 --> 00:17:03,997
Four inch. Four.
420
00:17:03,997 --> 00:17:04,710
Four inch. Four.
421
00:17:04,710 --> 00:17:07,309
All right, so the original way
that this motor mounted up
422
00:17:07,309 --> 00:17:09,010
is it got this mid-mount here.
423
00:17:09,010 --> 00:17:11,209
It distributes
the weight equally.
424
00:17:11,209 --> 00:17:13,043
Usually, we'll go
underneath the rear
425
00:17:13,043 --> 00:17:17,010
and make our little,
just mid saddle that goes
underneath the transmission.
426
00:17:17,010 --> 00:17:18,710
We can through bolt it
that way,
427
00:17:18,710 --> 00:17:20,610
And, you know,
connect it with a pipe.
428
00:17:20,610 --> 00:17:22,810
But with the way
that this is mounted here,
429
00:17:22,810 --> 00:17:24,309
it's not gonna really
work that way.
430
00:17:24,309 --> 00:17:27,309
It's gonna have to have
two separate transmission
mounts on this one.
431
00:17:27,309 --> 00:17:29,410
Same concept, just split.
432
00:17:33,743 --> 00:17:33,997
This is kinda cool.
433
00:17:33,997 --> 00:17:34,843
This is kinda cool.
434
00:17:34,910 --> 00:17:36,710
You know, it's a tanker truck,
first of all.
435
00:17:36,710 --> 00:17:38,109
It's old tanker.
436
00:17:39,010 --> 00:17:40,276
And now, we're putting,
you know,
437
00:17:40,276 --> 00:17:43,510
more of a modern motor
that's just as big
as the old one.
438
00:17:43,510 --> 00:17:45,510
But, you know,
different setup,
439
00:17:45,510 --> 00:17:48,309
different geometry,
different power and all that.
440
00:17:48,309 --> 00:17:49,510
Boom! Shaka-laka!
441
00:17:49,510 --> 00:17:51,443
It's kinda cool being able
to do stuff like this.
442
00:17:51,510 --> 00:17:53,043
Not a lot of people
can go to work
443
00:17:53,109 --> 00:17:56,109
and, you know, get to use
their imagination
to make it work.
444
00:17:58,309 --> 00:18:00,109
Get this guy tacked in here.
445
00:18:00,109 --> 00:18:01,410
So, it don't move around.
446
00:18:03,910 --> 00:18:03,997
Doing stuff like this is cool.
447
00:18:03,997 --> 00:18:05,410
Doing stuff like this is cool.
448
00:18:05,410 --> 00:18:07,543
You know, we get
different stuff all the time
449
00:18:07,610 --> 00:18:09,943
sometimes it's repetitive.
Cut it up every day.
450
00:18:10,010 --> 00:18:12,610
Cut it little bit more,
stop right here and drop
it out a little bit.
451
00:18:12,610 --> 00:18:14,410
We'll get a better weld
right there.
452
00:18:14,410 --> 00:18:15,910
It's the cool part of the job.
You know?
453
00:18:17,043 --> 00:18:18,109
Perfecto!
454
00:18:19,109 --> 00:18:21,610
I got a cool idea.
We can do it like the...
455
00:18:22,643 --> 00:18:24,043
the Bronco over there.
456
00:18:24,109 --> 00:18:26,610
With a piece that goes right
to the corner of this.
457
00:18:26,610 --> 00:18:29,043
So, it will grab the top
and the side.
458
00:18:29,109 --> 00:18:30,910
-I think it will be so much
stronger right there.
-[Jamie] Yeah.
459
00:18:30,910 --> 00:18:33,543
[Ryan] Since we don't have
anything that we're going
down to. You know?
460
00:18:33,610 --> 00:18:33,997
[Jamie] That's a good idea.
461
00:18:33,997 --> 00:18:34,810
[Jamie] That's a good idea.
462
00:18:34,810 --> 00:18:36,710
'Cause you know how much
this thing is gonna rattle.
463
00:18:36,710 --> 00:18:38,309
-[Jamie] Yeah,
these things shake.
-That's like a tractor motor.
464
00:18:38,309 --> 00:18:40,109
Yeah, they shake bad.
465
00:18:40,109 --> 00:18:42,410
[Jamie] All right, I'm gonna
go cut two sixes
just to start out.
466
00:18:42,410 --> 00:18:43,410
Go and get that tacked in.
467
00:18:50,610 --> 00:18:52,043
Let me tack it
on the finishing.
468
00:18:53,443 --> 00:18:54,410
I like it.
469
00:18:55,810 --> 00:18:57,309
You do the same
with the bottom,
470
00:18:57,309 --> 00:18:58,843
since we got so much
room down there.
471
00:19:01,143 --> 00:19:03,510
Man, these motor mounts
look great.
472
00:19:03,510 --> 00:19:03,997
It's got two good solid
anchor points on it.
473
00:19:03,997 --> 00:19:06,109
It's got two good solid
anchor points on it.
474
00:19:06,109 --> 00:19:07,643
Motor's gonna ride
right there.
475
00:19:07,710 --> 00:19:10,209
-Strength is there, for sure.
Style is cool though.
-Yeah.
476
00:19:10,209 --> 00:19:12,410
Now, everything flows
from the front all the way
to the back
477
00:19:12,410 --> 00:19:15,610
with the tubing
and the sand bushings
and everything.
478
00:19:15,610 --> 00:19:18,209
I like it. If it was mine,
I'll be happy with it.
479
00:19:24,309 --> 00:19:25,843
Now that we got it mounted,
480
00:19:25,843 --> 00:19:28,143
next step is to fit
this big old motor
underneath the cabin.
481
00:19:29,309 --> 00:19:31,410
So, this motor and trans step
is a lot different
482
00:19:31,410 --> 00:19:33,997
as you can see
from the stock applications.
483
00:19:33,997 --> 00:19:34,743
as you can see
from the stock applications.
484
00:19:34,810 --> 00:19:36,610
Looks like we're not gonna
have to cut into that.
485
00:19:36,610 --> 00:19:38,643
No, I think it's just
this corner right here.
486
00:19:38,710 --> 00:19:40,710
Just like, from, like,
here over.
487
00:19:43,343 --> 00:19:45,710
That's a wood floor.
Just take the wood out.
488
00:19:45,710 --> 00:19:47,510
'Cause we're gonna have to
re-build all that anyways.
489
00:19:51,643 --> 00:19:53,410
Jamie just got done
cutting the floor out.
490
00:19:53,410 --> 00:19:55,510
Should be enough.
We're gonna lower it down.
491
00:19:55,510 --> 00:19:56,943
Make the cab to the frame
492
00:19:56,943 --> 00:19:59,943
and then we can
start all the inside
sheet metal work.
493
00:20:00,010 --> 00:20:01,309
All right,
that should be good.
494
00:20:02,610 --> 00:20:03,810
Oh-ho!
495
00:20:03,810 --> 00:20:03,997
It's a lot of motor in there.
496
00:20:03,997 --> 00:20:05,510
It's a lot of motor in there.
497
00:20:05,510 --> 00:20:07,043
-No way.
-Yeah.
498
00:20:07,043 --> 00:20:08,810
[Jamie chuckles]
499
00:20:08,810 --> 00:20:09,943
It's all motor.
500
00:20:10,010 --> 00:20:11,643
[Jamie] Where are the pedals
gonna go? [chuckles]
501
00:20:18,343 --> 00:20:21,143
[Bill] Even though that
'53 tanker is just so big,
502
00:20:21,209 --> 00:20:23,109
that engine and trans combo,
503
00:20:23,109 --> 00:20:25,109
it's just way bigger and wider
504
00:20:25,109 --> 00:20:27,143
than our old engine
that used to be in there.
505
00:20:28,710 --> 00:20:30,810
[Ryan] Looks like a winner.
506
00:20:30,810 --> 00:20:33,243
[Bill] So, Jamie is gonna
re-build the firewall
and floor.
507
00:20:35,910 --> 00:20:36,910
So, sometimes,
those sheet metal,
508
00:20:36,910 --> 00:20:38,309
you're gonna have to go
around things.
509
00:20:38,309 --> 00:20:40,510
For instance,
this bell housing.
510
00:20:40,510 --> 00:20:42,109
You know, we can't move this.
511
00:20:42,109 --> 00:20:43,255
And right here, this is where
our pedals are gonna be.
512
00:20:43,255 --> 00:20:44,510
And right here, this is where
our pedals are gonna be.
513
00:20:44,510 --> 00:20:47,143
So, I'm gonna have to make
this as flat as possible.
514
00:20:47,143 --> 00:20:49,209
Put my sheet metal
as tight as I can.
515
00:20:49,209 --> 00:20:51,143
But still have some clearance
against the bell housing.
516
00:20:51,143 --> 00:20:52,910
You know, I gotta think
ten steps ahead
517
00:20:52,910 --> 00:20:54,510
before I start laying
everything else.
518
00:20:58,410 --> 00:20:59,410
There. That's gone soft.
519
00:21:02,810 --> 00:21:05,043
All right. So, I'm gonna
go in there.
520
00:21:05,043 --> 00:21:06,410
That's got to go up.
521
00:21:11,043 --> 00:21:12,343
Split this.
522
00:21:13,843 --> 00:21:14,710
Break.
523
00:21:16,109 --> 00:21:18,410
Hold this piece down
right here.
524
00:21:22,109 --> 00:21:24,109
Now, that's just gonna
have to be it.
525
00:21:30,209 --> 00:21:31,710
That's definitely gonna work.
526
00:21:31,710 --> 00:21:33,143
[hammering]
527
00:21:33,810 --> 00:21:34,710
[grunts]
528
00:21:36,810 --> 00:21:38,309
Man, that sucks.
529
00:21:38,309 --> 00:21:39,510
About to cut that.
530
00:21:43,410 --> 00:21:46,610
Initially, I planned to make,
like, a pocket right here.
531
00:21:46,610 --> 00:21:49,710
But, you know, things don't
work out all the time.
532
00:21:49,710 --> 00:21:52,043
It just looked good one way.
533
00:21:52,109 --> 00:21:55,410
But it felt different
once I put my feet down
to check everything.
534
00:21:55,410 --> 00:21:58,243
So, I mean, it's kinda, like,
I have to do it now.
535
00:21:58,309 --> 00:22:00,410
So, I'm gonna go ahead and cut
some more of the floor out
536
00:22:00,410 --> 00:22:03,910
to make different transitions
and pieces on this.
537
00:22:05,443 --> 00:22:07,209
It's gonna be
a lot better car fit.
538
00:22:07,209 --> 00:22:09,309
It's not gonna be a less
of a lift for your foot.
539
00:22:09,309 --> 00:22:10,743
Plus, I don't want
any kind of obstruction
540
00:22:10,810 --> 00:22:12,843
between the brake pedal
and the gas pedal.
541
00:22:12,910 --> 00:22:13,255
You know?
542
00:22:13,255 --> 00:22:13,877
You know?
543
00:22:13,877 --> 00:22:15,543
This is fabrication,
you have to overcome.
544
00:22:27,610 --> 00:22:29,043
-You wanted me to do it?
-That's been in there...
545
00:22:29,043 --> 00:22:31,043
-You ready to do it?
-Yeah, I'm ready.
546
00:22:31,109 --> 00:22:32,810
[Bill] You know, it already
has the curve on it,
547
00:22:32,810 --> 00:22:34,510
so we'll just figure out where
548
00:22:35,443 --> 00:22:37,643
-this fits the cab.
-[Jamie] Yeah.
549
00:22:38,410 --> 00:22:40,410
And that
pretty much establishes
550
00:22:40,410 --> 00:22:42,043
-where we're working with.
-That's right there
where our stack up
551
00:22:42,043 --> 00:22:43,255
-come up right there.
-Yeah.
552
00:22:43,255 --> 00:22:43,309
-come up right there.
-Yeah.
553
00:22:45,410 --> 00:22:49,443
One of the really cool process
of making this old '50s truck
554
00:22:49,510 --> 00:22:51,343
into something
a little more modern...
555
00:22:52,143 --> 00:22:53,443
It is the chrome stacks.
556
00:22:54,209 --> 00:22:55,743
It's not only gonna look cool,
557
00:22:55,810 --> 00:22:58,610
it's gonna create even more
flow for that diesel exhaust.
558
00:22:58,610 --> 00:23:01,243
It's always good to get
in a project like this
559
00:23:01,309 --> 00:23:03,843
where you get to do
some cool new things.
560
00:23:05,410 --> 00:23:08,810
One of the first things
we're gonna do is mount
the brackets on the cab.
561
00:23:08,810 --> 00:23:12,309
Establish how far
our pipes and everything
are gonna be apart.
562
00:23:12,309 --> 00:23:13,255
I'm about center of the pipe
right here.
563
00:23:13,255 --> 00:23:13,643
I'm about center of the pipe
right here.
564
00:23:13,710 --> 00:23:14,910
[Bill] 55 and a quarter.
565
00:23:14,910 --> 00:23:17,510
Then, we can come
right out the turbo
566
00:23:17,510 --> 00:23:18,610
to a big T.
567
00:23:18,610 --> 00:23:22,010
And then, from the T
to two chrome six inch pipes
568
00:23:22,010 --> 00:23:24,143
going all the way up
to backside of the cab
569
00:23:24,143 --> 00:23:25,510
and over the tanker.
570
00:23:27,443 --> 00:23:29,810
We got our measurements
from our brackets on the cab.
571
00:23:29,810 --> 00:23:31,309
Now, that's established,
572
00:23:31,309 --> 00:23:32,943
get our measurements here.
573
00:23:33,010 --> 00:23:34,843
That's gotta be 22 and a half.
574
00:23:34,910 --> 00:23:38,643
The next thing is modifying
the big T that comes out.
575
00:23:38,710 --> 00:23:40,143
We need to the inch off
of each side.
576
00:23:54,943 --> 00:23:56,410
Lion King!
577
00:23:57,043 --> 00:23:58,209
[chuckles]
578
00:24:02,443 --> 00:24:03,543
Way to hang a stack.
579
00:24:05,510 --> 00:24:07,443
See, if our calculations
are correct.
580
00:24:13,143 --> 00:24:13,255
[machine whirring]
581
00:24:13,255 --> 00:24:14,843
[machine whirring]
582
00:24:14,910 --> 00:24:16,209
[Jamie] We're solid now.
583
00:24:18,743 --> 00:24:20,209
I don't think it's gonna fit.
584
00:24:20,209 --> 00:24:22,209
Nope. Might as well
go ahead and cut it.
585
00:24:30,710 --> 00:24:34,010
You know, since we got this
clamp hiding the seam here,
586
00:24:34,010 --> 00:24:35,910
we're gonna take these down
and weld 'em together,
587
00:24:35,910 --> 00:24:38,143
so everything seems
nice and straight.
588
00:24:38,209 --> 00:24:39,510
We got our piece of two by two
589
00:24:39,510 --> 00:24:42,010
extruded aluminum
clamped to the table.
590
00:24:42,010 --> 00:24:43,255
When it's touching
all the way down,
591
00:24:43,255 --> 00:24:43,643
When it's touching
all the way down,
592
00:24:43,710 --> 00:24:45,810
you know it's laser straight.
593
00:24:47,043 --> 00:24:49,343
Super, smooth, clean.
594
00:24:49,410 --> 00:24:51,910
Really small weld is what
you want on here.
595
00:25:08,943 --> 00:25:11,109
[Jamie] Hey, that looks tough.
596
00:25:11,109 --> 00:25:13,255
That's exactly what it needed
with the 24-valve Cummins.
597
00:25:13,255 --> 00:25:14,309
That's exactly what it needed
with the 24-valve Cummins.
598
00:25:15,043 --> 00:25:16,143
New front suspension.
599
00:25:16,209 --> 00:25:18,610
Automatic transmission
power steering now.
600
00:25:18,610 --> 00:25:21,910
Man, with the stacks,
it just completes
the whole look.
601
00:25:21,910 --> 00:25:23,810
-Kinda jealous now.
-I like it.
602
00:25:23,810 --> 00:25:24,877
-I'm really liking it.
-[Bill chuckles]
603
00:25:36,410 --> 00:25:38,309
You know, I've been really
thinking about it a lot
604
00:25:38,309 --> 00:25:41,243
on which handle to go
with on this '37 Coupe.
605
00:25:41,309 --> 00:25:43,255
Trying to find
a mechanical handle
606
00:25:43,255 --> 00:25:44,109
Trying to find
a mechanical handle
607
00:25:44,109 --> 00:25:46,610
for a door that's this skinny
608
00:25:46,610 --> 00:25:48,743
and still have
no window operational.
609
00:25:48,810 --> 00:25:51,510
It will be super-tough to try
to make all that work.
610
00:25:51,510 --> 00:25:52,943
So, found this online.
611
00:25:53,010 --> 00:25:54,343
It works with the key fobs.
612
00:25:54,410 --> 00:25:57,043
SO, when you walk by
and the key fob is gonna
sense it
613
00:25:57,109 --> 00:25:59,543
and automatically pop
the door open like that.
614
00:25:59,610 --> 00:26:01,209
So, you got a nice grab spot.
615
00:26:01,209 --> 00:26:03,710
But we're still gonna put
a safety mechanism
616
00:26:04,710 --> 00:26:05,710
in the door.
617
00:26:05,710 --> 00:26:07,610
So, if anything fails,
618
00:26:07,610 --> 00:26:10,410
you still have a pull cable
that you can access,
619
00:26:10,410 --> 00:26:13,255
you know, in that secret spot
that nobody knows about.
620
00:26:13,255 --> 00:26:13,309
you know, in that secret spot
that nobody knows about.
621
00:26:15,043 --> 00:26:16,610
You know, the little
tricky part on this
622
00:26:16,610 --> 00:26:19,543
is just putting the handle
in the right spot.
623
00:26:19,610 --> 00:26:21,309
I mean, you can't put it
too far back
624
00:26:21,309 --> 00:26:23,643
'cause it will end up
in the door jam itself.
625
00:26:23,710 --> 00:26:28,443
So, finding that cool
little spot where everything
works right
626
00:26:28,510 --> 00:26:29,543
is key.
627
00:26:30,710 --> 00:26:32,410
Nice and straight right there.
628
00:26:34,610 --> 00:26:36,309
And that's where
we're gonna cut it out at.
629
00:26:36,910 --> 00:26:38,143
Give it to it.
630
00:26:38,143 --> 00:26:40,209
[Jamel] Cool,
get it knocked out.
631
00:26:40,209 --> 00:26:42,309
I'm just gonna go ahead
and make a little pattern
632
00:26:42,309 --> 00:26:43,255
of the actual handle itself.
633
00:26:43,255 --> 00:26:44,209
of the actual handle itself.
634
00:26:44,209 --> 00:26:45,810
Because I wanna
cut my hole smaller.
635
00:26:45,810 --> 00:26:48,209
That way I can slowly
636
00:26:48,209 --> 00:26:51,743
open it to where my handle
fits perfectly.
637
00:26:51,810 --> 00:26:54,710
When doing this right here,
it's a one-time process.
638
00:26:54,710 --> 00:26:57,209
So, there's no room for error.
639
00:26:57,209 --> 00:26:59,843
So, that's gonna leave me
about an eighth of an inch
640
00:26:59,910 --> 00:27:01,410
to where I can slowly file it
641
00:27:01,410 --> 00:27:03,309
top to bottom
to get a precise fit.
642
00:27:12,309 --> 00:27:13,255
So, when I'm cutting this,
643
00:27:13,255 --> 00:27:13,910
So, when I'm cutting this,
644
00:27:13,910 --> 00:27:16,143
I just have to make
a good, clean cut.
645
00:27:16,143 --> 00:27:17,443
It's gotta be perfect.
646
00:27:17,510 --> 00:27:19,343
So, I just gotta focus.
647
00:27:19,410 --> 00:27:21,243
It's all about
clearing the mind,
648
00:27:21,309 --> 00:27:22,610
getting comfortable.
649
00:27:22,610 --> 00:27:24,643
The more comfortable you are,
the better work it will be.
650
00:27:32,443 --> 00:27:34,209
Now, we got our hole
all cut out.
651
00:27:34,209 --> 00:27:36,243
And what we're going to do
is we're gonna make us
652
00:27:36,309 --> 00:27:39,209
a axis hole right here
on the back side.
653
00:27:39,209 --> 00:27:41,910
Little window that we can
get in there and work.
654
00:27:41,910 --> 00:27:43,255
So, we can remove
some of the fiberglass.
655
00:27:43,255 --> 00:27:44,143
So, we can remove
some of the fiberglass.
656
00:27:44,143 --> 00:27:45,643
You see the thickness?
657
00:27:45,643 --> 00:27:47,810
What we're gonna do
is we're gonna knock
that to about half its size.
658
00:27:48,410 --> 00:27:49,710
In order to achieve that,
659
00:27:49,710 --> 00:27:51,810
we'll just take the angle,
grind it to on the backside.
660
00:27:55,443 --> 00:27:58,243
Throw it all out.
Our door handle sit flushed
661
00:27:58,309 --> 00:27:59,343
against the back of the panel.
662
00:28:01,343 --> 00:28:03,443
'Cause once again,
we'll gonna be bonding metal
663
00:28:03,510 --> 00:28:04,610
to fiberglass.
664
00:28:04,610 --> 00:28:06,043
So, we'll use panel bond.
665
00:28:06,043 --> 00:28:07,743
It's a two-part of proxy
666
00:28:07,810 --> 00:28:09,743
which we'll use in the rear.
667
00:28:09,810 --> 00:28:11,209
So, we'll use
the same stuff here.
668
00:28:13,143 --> 00:28:13,255
We got our handle in.
669
00:28:13,255 --> 00:28:14,610
We got our handle in.
670
00:28:14,610 --> 00:28:16,010
We got the panel bond on it.
671
00:28:16,010 --> 00:28:18,309
Now, we're just gonna
let it set for 24 hours.
672
00:28:18,309 --> 00:28:20,610
And then, we'll pull it off
and do the cosmetic
on the front side.
673
00:28:27,209 --> 00:28:30,543
[Bill] You know, we've done
a lot of leather and woodwork
in our interiors lately.
674
00:28:30,610 --> 00:28:32,910
But on the Coupe, John's gonna
mix it up a little bit
675
00:28:32,910 --> 00:28:34,309
and put aluminum in the dash.
676
00:28:35,410 --> 00:28:36,910
Right. Easy enough.
677
00:28:36,910 --> 00:28:39,309
It's gonna
break up that leather
and give it a cool look.
678
00:28:40,410 --> 00:28:43,410
The dash is gonna be
somewhat of a retro fit.
679
00:28:43,410 --> 00:28:45,010
I'm gonna start by
680
00:28:45,010 --> 00:28:47,309
taking some measurements off
the dashboard here.
681
00:28:47,309 --> 00:28:49,143
Get in the computer,
get it laid out.
682
00:28:49,209 --> 00:28:50,143
And at that point,
683
00:28:50,143 --> 00:28:51,309
I'll be able to lay out
my design
684
00:28:51,309 --> 00:28:52,610
and the ideas that I have.
685
00:28:54,610 --> 00:28:56,510
Program set and ready to go.
686
00:28:56,510 --> 00:28:59,643
I got some aluminum locked up
in the CNC router.
687
00:28:59,710 --> 00:29:02,043
Hit it with a little bit
of lube.
688
00:29:02,109 --> 00:29:03,309
If we don't do this,
689
00:29:03,309 --> 00:29:06,043
the aluminum will gall up
in a bit,
690
00:29:06,043 --> 00:29:07,810
it will start chattering,
get chunks in it
691
00:29:07,810 --> 00:29:08,910
and mess up your part.
692
00:29:09,843 --> 00:29:11,610
And off to work.
693
00:29:13,510 --> 00:29:15,510
This being aluminum,
you only get one chance.
694
00:29:15,510 --> 00:29:17,810
You can't go in body fill
and re-paint.
695
00:29:17,810 --> 00:29:19,376
It's either right
or it's wrong.
696
00:29:19,376 --> 00:29:21,843
So, we'll have to
babysit this one
a little bit more than usual
697
00:29:21,910 --> 00:29:22,785
just to make sure everything
is still running good
and on track.
698
00:29:22,785 --> 00:29:25,043
just to make sure everything
is still running good
and on track.
699
00:29:25,710 --> 00:29:26,810
But once it's done,
700
00:29:26,810 --> 00:29:28,343
part that's gonna come out
of the machine
701
00:29:28,910 --> 00:29:29,743
will look perfect.
702
00:29:33,043 --> 00:29:34,343
Nice, gooey mess.
703
00:29:36,910 --> 00:29:38,610
So, CNC router
has done its job.
704
00:29:38,610 --> 00:29:40,343
Everything is cut out
and ready to go.
705
00:29:42,209 --> 00:29:43,777
That's gonna be cool.
706
00:29:43,777 --> 00:29:45,910
With this being aluminum,
I didn't wanna cut
all the way through
707
00:29:45,910 --> 00:29:48,209
and have these pieces come
loose and go flying around,
708
00:29:48,209 --> 00:29:50,943
so I stopped just before
I got to the bottom.
709
00:29:51,010 --> 00:29:52,143
Now, we'll take a jigsaw,
710
00:29:52,710 --> 00:29:52,785
trim it out.
711
00:29:52,785 --> 00:29:53,510
trim it out.
712
00:29:54,710 --> 00:29:55,943
Go over to the hand router,
713
00:29:55,943 --> 00:29:58,043
real quick run around on these
parts and we'll be done.
714
00:30:03,410 --> 00:30:06,410
We finished the custom
air suspension
on that '53 tanker.
715
00:30:09,410 --> 00:30:11,643
Now, to give it a huge
modern update
716
00:30:11,710 --> 00:30:12,910
with that power steering.
717
00:30:13,843 --> 00:30:15,510
[Jamie] What we got
going on right now
718
00:30:15,510 --> 00:30:19,143
is we're taking out the whole
hydraulic steering.
719
00:30:19,143 --> 00:30:21,309
You know, we'll try
to bring it back modern
720
00:30:21,309 --> 00:30:22,785
where everybody
can drive this truck.
721
00:30:22,785 --> 00:30:23,443
where everybody
can drive this truck.
722
00:30:23,510 --> 00:30:26,510
You get in this thing,
you're not gonna have
to fight that big wheel,
723
00:30:26,510 --> 00:30:27,610
nothing like that.
724
00:30:27,643 --> 00:30:29,510
So, what we're gonna do
is gonna put rack and pinion
725
00:30:29,510 --> 00:30:30,543
power steering in this truck.
726
00:30:34,743 --> 00:30:37,043
Get this side down,
that's my drop down
727
00:30:37,043 --> 00:30:38,309
to hold my column up top.
728
00:30:38,309 --> 00:30:39,943
We got our collar right here.
729
00:30:40,010 --> 00:30:42,309
This is gonna locate
the bottom of our column.
730
00:30:42,309 --> 00:30:43,910
It's very important
to get this right,
731
00:30:43,910 --> 00:30:45,343
so our steer linkage is good.
732
00:30:46,410 --> 00:30:48,143
Kinda liking that right here.
733
00:30:51,109 --> 00:30:52,785
Right now, I'm just checking
to make sure my column
is straight.
734
00:30:52,785 --> 00:30:53,810
Right now, I'm just checking
to make sure my column
is straight.
735
00:30:53,810 --> 00:30:56,243
That sheet metal work,
I can make that
736
00:30:56,309 --> 00:30:57,910
anyway I want to.
737
00:30:57,910 --> 00:30:59,943
But this right here,
I wanna make sure
it's parallel.
738
00:31:00,010 --> 00:31:01,209
You don't wanna be driving.
739
00:31:01,209 --> 00:31:03,543
And the steering will be
like this or this.
740
00:31:03,610 --> 00:31:07,410
So, make sure
everything looks true.
741
00:31:07,410 --> 00:31:10,410
I'm happy with that
right there.
742
00:31:10,410 --> 00:31:12,543
And when you're doing
something like this,
you need to think
743
00:31:12,610 --> 00:31:13,943
ten steps ahead.
744
00:31:13,943 --> 00:31:17,610
We're now gonna go
from the rack right here
with the knuckle,
745
00:31:17,610 --> 00:31:19,309
all the way to my column
right here.
746
00:31:20,309 --> 00:31:21,943
Obviously, I have
a clearance issue.
747
00:31:22,010 --> 00:31:22,785
I have two options.
I can go ahead and put
another joint in there.
748
00:31:22,785 --> 00:31:24,810
I have two options.
I can go ahead and put
another joint in there.
749
00:31:24,810 --> 00:31:28,143
Which is gonna
be more material,
more things combined up.
750
00:31:28,143 --> 00:31:31,043
Or I can go ahead
and just remove
part of the motor mount,
751
00:31:31,109 --> 00:31:33,043
get my steering
linkage completed
752
00:31:33,109 --> 00:31:36,610
and then I can go ahead
and fabricate something
around my steering linkage.
753
00:31:37,810 --> 00:31:39,143
[sawing]
754
00:31:44,410 --> 00:31:45,943
[Jamie] I got my
steering linkage in
755
00:31:46,010 --> 00:31:47,043
from the collar,
756
00:31:47,043 --> 00:31:49,143
all the way down
to the rack and pinion.
757
00:31:49,209 --> 00:31:51,209
Next thing is, go ahead
and start making
758
00:31:51,209 --> 00:31:52,785
this motor mount go around
my steering linkage.
759
00:31:52,785 --> 00:31:54,710
this motor mount go around
my steering linkage.
760
00:31:54,710 --> 00:31:56,143
So, I'm gonna
get my angle finder,
761
00:31:56,143 --> 00:31:58,810
get somewhat close
to the pitch I want.
762
00:31:58,810 --> 00:32:00,643
Once I do that,
take exhaust machine,
763
00:32:00,710 --> 00:32:01,510
gotta bend it.
764
00:32:04,810 --> 00:32:05,743
That's our arch.
765
00:32:07,043 --> 00:32:10,143
Go ahead and chop
that down real quick.
766
00:32:13,543 --> 00:32:15,243
Go ahead and cope it.
767
00:32:15,243 --> 00:32:17,710
Once I cope it, it's gonna fit
nice and tight on this bushing
on the motor mount.
768
00:32:22,143 --> 00:32:22,785
Okay, so I got it
in place now.
769
00:32:22,785 --> 00:32:24,343
Okay, so I got it
in place now.
770
00:32:24,410 --> 00:32:27,143
I'm gonna go ahead and shape
it out just a little bit with
a little heat and beat.
771
00:32:29,810 --> 00:32:30,643
♪ Hey ♪
772
00:32:33,010 --> 00:32:33,810
♪ Hey ♪
773
00:32:56,443 --> 00:32:59,043
Come on out.
Got it all unhooked.
774
00:32:59,109 --> 00:33:00,610
Now, we've got our thing
mocked up.
775
00:33:00,610 --> 00:33:01,910
It's time to blow
this thing apart.
776
00:33:01,910 --> 00:33:03,343
Take the cab off,
take the motor out.
777
00:33:03,410 --> 00:33:04,443
Get this thing
to powdercoating.
778
00:33:07,209 --> 00:33:08,543
We're clear right there.
779
00:33:15,209 --> 00:33:16,810
All right, go back,
go back, go back.
780
00:33:18,043 --> 00:33:19,309
Back. All right, now, buff it.
781
00:33:19,309 --> 00:33:20,410
Oh, you're good right there.
782
00:33:21,710 --> 00:33:22,785
Now, we get the cab off.
783
00:33:22,785 --> 00:33:23,043
Now, we get the cab off.
784
00:33:23,109 --> 00:33:25,043
Go ahead and start
slicking down this frame.
785
00:33:25,109 --> 00:33:26,410
Weld up what needs
to be welded.
786
00:33:27,209 --> 00:33:28,443
Then, off to powdercoat we go.
787
00:33:39,243 --> 00:33:40,109
[Jamie] Come in.
788
00:33:42,743 --> 00:33:43,810
Come in.
789
00:33:45,143 --> 00:33:47,309
All right, right there, then,
side shift right.
790
00:33:47,309 --> 00:33:49,710
The '53 tanker is back
from powdercoating.
791
00:33:49,710 --> 00:33:51,143
[Ryan] One, two, three.
792
00:33:54,943 --> 00:33:56,309
[Bill] With everything
coming together,
793
00:33:57,610 --> 00:34:00,143
we can finally install that
freshly painted Cummins.
794
00:34:07,710 --> 00:34:08,810
Good job!
795
00:34:08,810 --> 00:34:09,943
Gonna bring her down.
796
00:34:15,643 --> 00:34:17,843
[Bill] This new engine,
it's a big step forward
797
00:34:17,910 --> 00:34:19,543
with many, many more to go.
798
00:34:24,143 --> 00:34:25,476
All right.
799
00:34:30,243 --> 00:34:33,109
There's still a whole lot
of work to do on this
old truck.
800
00:34:33,109 --> 00:34:35,143
Need to get that cab
back on the chassis.
801
00:34:35,143 --> 00:34:35,222
There you go. One, two, three.
802
00:34:35,222 --> 00:34:37,710
There you go. One, two, three.
803
00:34:37,710 --> 00:34:38,910
All right, we gotta go
to the front.
804
00:34:38,910 --> 00:34:40,810
[Bill] Still needs
a custom bumper.
805
00:34:41,443 --> 00:34:42,710
It needs to go back now.
806
00:34:43,710 --> 00:34:45,943
It's pretty freaking close
right there though.
807
00:34:46,010 --> 00:34:49,309
Interior and a whole lot
of metal work to do
on that trailer.
808
00:34:49,309 --> 00:34:50,710
Gonna come down a little bit.
809
00:34:52,343 --> 00:34:53,843
Yeah, that's good
right there, dude.
810
00:34:54,309 --> 00:34:55,309
Keep going.
811
00:34:55,309 --> 00:34:58,610
Big jobs like this take
just that much longer.
812
00:34:58,610 --> 00:35:02,043
But it's always worth it
'cause when we get it done,
it's one of one.
813
00:35:06,209 --> 00:35:08,810
The nice part about being
this busy as a business,
814
00:35:08,810 --> 00:35:11,510
even as one job still
has a lot of work to do,
815
00:35:11,510 --> 00:35:13,710
another one is almost done.
816
00:35:13,710 --> 00:35:16,610
John's finishing up one of our
last big pieces on the coop...
817
00:35:16,610 --> 00:35:17,843
the door panels.
818
00:35:18,910 --> 00:35:20,343
[John] Going through
few ideas here
819
00:35:20,410 --> 00:35:22,643
and making a decision
on which one we're gonna do.
820
00:35:22,710 --> 00:35:24,309
Once we get
the base idea down,
821
00:35:24,309 --> 00:35:26,309
we'll let the machines
cut our pieces out,
822
00:35:26,309 --> 00:35:29,010
then it will be up to us
to get it all the shaped in,
put together.
823
00:35:30,510 --> 00:35:34,743
Kinda nice to be able to put
your base drawing
on the computer.
824
00:35:34,810 --> 00:35:35,222
You still have to keep
building it in your head.
825
00:35:35,222 --> 00:35:37,143
You still have to keep
building it in your head.
826
00:35:37,143 --> 00:35:39,309
How are you
gonna put it together?
How are you gonna wrap it?
827
00:35:39,309 --> 00:35:43,143
How's it gonna finish out,
so there's a lot of stuff
that goes in to it,
828
00:35:43,209 --> 00:35:45,710
other than just lines
on the computer.
829
00:35:49,209 --> 00:35:50,309
Take this.
830
00:35:55,309 --> 00:35:58,243
So, this car has so much curve
to these doors
831
00:35:58,309 --> 00:35:59,343
in all directions.
832
00:35:59,410 --> 00:36:01,910
It's basically just one big
concave bubble.
833
00:36:01,910 --> 00:36:05,043
So, in order to get all this
shaped in right,
834
00:36:05,109 --> 00:36:05,222
we're going to get it
glued in place
835
00:36:05,222 --> 00:36:07,143
we're going to get it
glued in place
836
00:36:07,209 --> 00:36:08,910
and body work with it
on the car.
837
00:36:11,043 --> 00:36:12,610
That way it will
hold the shape,
838
00:36:12,610 --> 00:36:13,843
'cause if you just
do it on the bench
839
00:36:13,843 --> 00:36:15,943
and body work it flat
and try to put it on the car,
840
00:36:17,343 --> 00:36:18,510
it goes bad.
841
00:36:19,610 --> 00:36:21,343
I'll body work
and sand this down,
842
00:36:21,410 --> 00:36:22,443
then it will be ready to wrap.
843
00:36:24,209 --> 00:36:25,843
Like everything,
it will take time,
844
00:36:25,910 --> 00:36:26,743
but it will be worth it.
845
00:36:27,410 --> 00:36:28,843
Yes.
846
00:36:31,410 --> 00:36:32,610
[tires screeching]
847
00:36:33,443 --> 00:36:35,222
[engine revving]
848
00:36:35,222 --> 00:36:35,743
[engine revving]
849
00:36:35,810 --> 00:36:37,043
[tires screech]
850
00:36:43,443 --> 00:36:46,309
After all the fabrication
and the body work on the '37,
851
00:36:47,343 --> 00:36:48,910
Jamel needs to mix that paint
852
00:36:48,910 --> 00:36:52,610
to that exact color to match
the rest of the car.
853
00:36:52,610 --> 00:36:57,109
So, we use a dark gray,
a gray and a light gray.
854
00:36:57,109 --> 00:36:59,309
That will give us three
different shades of red.
855
00:36:59,309 --> 00:37:02,109
We're actually...
we'll do one of these two.
856
00:37:02,109 --> 00:37:05,222
This will give you all
four different series
on one part.
857
00:37:05,222 --> 00:37:06,109
This will give you all
four different series
on one part.
858
00:37:06,109 --> 00:37:08,410
I'm gonna spray up
on these cards,
859
00:37:08,410 --> 00:37:09,810
take 'em up to the car
860
00:37:09,810 --> 00:37:12,410
and figure out which one
is the closest match
861
00:37:12,410 --> 00:37:13,343
to our automobile.
862
00:37:18,810 --> 00:37:21,143
All right, I'm certain
we got a match.
863
00:37:22,510 --> 00:37:24,410
So, this one's in,
it's over gray sealer.
864
00:37:24,410 --> 00:37:26,943
So, the next step
is we're gonna prep
and finish prepping our car.
865
00:37:27,010 --> 00:37:29,209
That way we can
get in the paint group
and get this thing painted.
866
00:37:31,410 --> 00:37:33,309
We're gonna make us
some sealer real quick.
867
00:37:37,010 --> 00:37:38,109
Take our mixing cup...
868
00:37:38,710 --> 00:37:40,910
Put in some sealer!
869
00:37:42,543 --> 00:37:44,910
All right, just so give us
some field substrate.
870
00:37:45,410 --> 00:37:46,643
Makes everything even.
871
00:37:50,043 --> 00:37:52,209
So, I'm gonna go ahead,
I got the sealer and the gun.
872
00:37:52,209 --> 00:37:55,010
We're gonna go in here
and we're gonna put
a coat of sealer
873
00:37:55,010 --> 00:37:56,510
on our panel.
874
00:37:58,109 --> 00:38:00,810
Now, we're gonna come back
with our red base coat
dusted out
875
00:38:00,810 --> 00:38:02,076
and then clear the panels.
876
00:38:11,710 --> 00:38:14,043
After a lot of searching
and being through
different shops,
877
00:38:14,710 --> 00:38:16,143
Ekstensive is home.
878
00:38:16,143 --> 00:38:18,410
Here is where
I can be creative.
879
00:38:18,410 --> 00:38:20,910
Here is where
the magic happens.
880
00:38:20,910 --> 00:38:23,643
The custom paint world,
it's different than
the collision.
881
00:38:23,710 --> 00:38:25,043
You break all the rules.
882
00:38:25,043 --> 00:38:27,309
They say,
spray-attack-coat. No.
883
00:38:27,309 --> 00:38:30,810
Oh, you can only put two coats
of clear or three coats
of clear.
884
00:38:30,810 --> 00:38:32,209
Oh, man, forget about that.
885
00:38:32,209 --> 00:38:33,710
Shoot it the way
you want it to look.
886
00:38:33,710 --> 00:38:35,810
'Cause that's really how
you're supposed to spray it.
887
00:38:35,810 --> 00:38:37,209
I know for myself,
888
00:38:37,209 --> 00:38:39,610
when I do something,
when I do one project,
889
00:38:39,610 --> 00:38:40,122
I'm my own worst critic.
890
00:38:40,122 --> 00:38:41,410
I'm my own worst critic.
891
00:38:41,410 --> 00:38:43,843
I've had people tell me,
"Oh, man, that looks
really good."
892
00:38:43,910 --> 00:38:45,143
You know? And I'm like,
893
00:38:45,143 --> 00:38:47,410
"Man, I think it could have
been a hell of a lot better."
894
00:38:47,410 --> 00:38:49,610
I beat myself up,
beat myself up bad.
895
00:38:49,610 --> 00:38:51,810
But the reason
is 'cause I wanna excel.
896
00:38:51,810 --> 00:38:54,209
You know, I wanna be the best.
897
00:38:54,209 --> 00:38:55,343
So, in order to do that,
898
00:38:55,410 --> 00:38:57,610
you have to push yourself.
899
00:38:57,610 --> 00:38:59,410
All the way through.
900
00:38:59,410 --> 00:39:02,410
No shortcuts,
no cutting corners.
901
00:39:02,410 --> 00:39:06,443
Producing the best
is what's expected.
902
00:39:06,510 --> 00:39:07,209
Nothing else is acceptable.
903
00:39:13,910 --> 00:39:14,777
Nice.
904
00:39:15,443 --> 00:39:16,543
Perfect.
905
00:39:19,410 --> 00:39:22,510
We've done a lot of work
on this already custom '37,
906
00:39:22,510 --> 00:39:24,843
you know, from the tail lights
to the door handles
907
00:39:24,910 --> 00:39:26,109
to a new interior.
908
00:39:28,043 --> 00:39:30,109
The customer said
it just wasn't right.
909
00:39:30,109 --> 00:39:32,410
Just wasn't what he needed.
910
00:39:32,410 --> 00:39:34,410
So, we've addressed
all those issues
911
00:39:34,410 --> 00:39:35,710
that he had on his mind
912
00:39:35,710 --> 00:39:37,243
and got him hooked up.
913
00:39:37,309 --> 00:39:39,010
Now, it's just right.
914
00:39:39,010 --> 00:39:40,432
-Hey, man.
-Hello, Bill.
915
00:39:40,432 --> 00:39:40,710
-Hey, man.
-Hello, Bill.
916
00:39:40,777 --> 00:39:43,710
You can really
tell there's a place
in his heart for this car.
917
00:39:43,777 --> 00:39:45,543
And I can't wait for him
to see it.
918
00:39:45,610 --> 00:39:46,410
Come on!
919
00:39:53,910 --> 00:39:56,043
-Oh, my God, Bill!
-[Bill chuckles]
920
00:39:56,043 --> 00:39:57,343
I don't believe it.
921
00:40:00,109 --> 00:40:02,910
That... Oh! That's wonderful.
922
00:40:02,910 --> 00:40:06,043
I've waited 40 years
to see something like this.
923
00:40:06,043 --> 00:40:08,410
-40 years, huh?
-40 years.
924
00:40:08,410 --> 00:40:10,432
I started building one
back in the '80s
925
00:40:10,432 --> 00:40:10,710
I started building one
back in the '80s
926
00:40:10,710 --> 00:40:12,510
and I lost it.
927
00:40:12,510 --> 00:40:16,343
I gave up on
a dream of having it
for cruising and...
928
00:40:16,410 --> 00:40:18,510
You made it. It's here!
929
00:40:18,510 --> 00:40:19,777
It's... You did it.
930
00:40:20,777 --> 00:40:21,710
I can't.
931
00:40:23,043 --> 00:40:25,043
I'm a little loss
for words now.
932
00:40:25,043 --> 00:40:27,343
-Let's get a closer look.
-Great.
933
00:40:27,410 --> 00:40:30,043
[Bill] You know,
I can kinda understand
where Rick's out on this.
934
00:40:30,109 --> 00:40:34,510
Losing something early in life
and finally getting it back
after many, many years,
935
00:40:34,510 --> 00:40:36,810
you know, that can...
936
00:40:36,810 --> 00:40:38,643
bring a tear to your eye,
for sure.
937
00:40:38,710 --> 00:40:39,943
[Rick] Oh, God, Bill.
938
00:40:40,810 --> 00:40:42,109
It's perfect.
939
00:40:42,109 --> 00:40:44,810
The tail lights, you can see
them yet they're molded in.
940
00:40:44,810 --> 00:40:47,010
It looks like
an old street rod.
941
00:40:47,010 --> 00:40:51,010
Yeah! You wanted to put
the factory-style tail light
back in,
942
00:40:51,010 --> 00:40:53,243
so that's what we had to do.
943
00:40:53,309 --> 00:40:55,209
But I didn't wanna just put
944
00:40:55,209 --> 00:40:58,143
a big tail light that hangs
off the back of the fender
945
00:40:58,143 --> 00:40:59,309
with the stem coming off.
946
00:40:59,309 --> 00:41:02,143
So, we decided
that mold 'em in.
947
00:41:02,143 --> 00:41:03,943
You know, it still has
that factory look,
948
00:41:04,010 --> 00:41:05,043
-but it's all custom.
- [Rick] Mmm-hmm.
949
00:41:05,109 --> 00:41:07,810
It's definitely the '30s style
of fender.
950
00:41:07,810 --> 00:41:10,432
It's street rod.
They don't use
that term anymore,
951
00:41:10,432 --> 00:41:11,410
It's street rod.
They don't use
that term anymore,
952
00:41:11,410 --> 00:41:12,943
-but it's just slick.
-[Bill chuckles]
953
00:41:13,010 --> 00:41:15,143
This car makes me feel like
a kid again.
954
00:41:15,209 --> 00:41:17,143
I'm going through
my third childhood
955
00:41:17,209 --> 00:41:19,610
and this is gonna
fit right in with it.
956
00:41:19,610 --> 00:41:23,109
You know, one other problem
you had was that low
license plate bracket.
957
00:41:23,109 --> 00:41:25,309
So, we got a nice
retractable one now.
958
00:41:25,309 --> 00:41:27,810
So, you hit a button and it
just comes up and out.
959
00:41:28,243 --> 00:41:30,109
[Rick chuckles]
960
00:41:30,109 --> 00:41:32,510
Oh, that beats the heck
out of reaching up underneath.
961
00:41:32,510 --> 00:41:34,810
Yeah. You don't have to worry
about that anymore.
962
00:41:34,810 --> 00:41:35,977
[Rick] It's perfect.
963
00:41:35,977 --> 00:41:38,543
[Bill] The hard thing
is taking such a nice car
964
00:41:38,610 --> 00:41:40,432
and modifying it
and not detracting from it.
965
00:41:40,432 --> 00:41:41,843
and modifying it
and not detracting from it.
966
00:41:41,910 --> 00:41:43,643
You know, like,
the door handles itself.
967
00:41:43,710 --> 00:41:47,410
Picking that right handle
to go back in a really
clean car.
968
00:41:47,410 --> 00:41:50,843
[Rick] They're sleek.
I was thinking of my old
Chevy door handles
969
00:41:50,910 --> 00:41:52,843
-that would catch
your coat with.
-[chuckling] Right.
970
00:41:52,910 --> 00:41:55,309
[Rick] I could get in and out
of this without worrying about
971
00:41:55,309 --> 00:41:57,043
something sticking out
of the door.
972
00:41:57,043 --> 00:41:59,943
Oh, man, it's hotter
than I thought it would be.
973
00:42:00,010 --> 00:42:01,610
[Bill] It's still
an electric door handle.
974
00:42:01,610 --> 00:42:04,610
If that doesn't work,
you still have your
safety release underneath.
975
00:42:04,610 --> 00:42:06,610
So, you can pull in
and actually get in the car.
976
00:42:06,610 --> 00:42:08,710
You don't have to
get the brick out
and smash the glass.
977
00:42:08,777 --> 00:42:10,410
[Rick chuckles]
978
00:42:12,410 --> 00:42:13,810
Oh, my God, Bill.
979
00:42:13,810 --> 00:42:17,143
I had never dreamed that
it could ever look like this.
980
00:42:17,209 --> 00:42:18,943
-It looks so...
-Creamy.
981
00:42:19,010 --> 00:42:20,443
It looks creamy.
982
00:42:20,510 --> 00:42:22,410
-[Bill laughs]
-[Rick] Now,
it's got character.
983
00:42:22,410 --> 00:42:24,343
John Burgess knows
how to weight something up.
984
00:42:24,410 --> 00:42:26,143
He fired up the old CNC.
985
00:42:26,209 --> 00:42:27,710
He cut out a piece
of aluminum.
986
00:42:27,777 --> 00:42:29,276
[Rick] Oh, yeah.
987
00:42:29,276 --> 00:42:32,343
[Bill] He can stand off
the dash with the two-tone
in there.
988
00:42:32,410 --> 00:42:34,309
Yeah, it just really,
really comes alive
989
00:42:34,309 --> 00:42:35,910
-once you do that.
-It does.
990
00:42:35,910 --> 00:42:38,043
And the door panel
looks solid.
991
00:42:38,043 --> 00:42:39,910
Before, it was just
hanging off of there.
992
00:42:39,910 --> 00:42:40,432
- Got a lot of work
went into it.
-[Bill] Yeah, it is.
993
00:42:40,432 --> 00:42:42,209
- Got a lot of work
went into it.
-[Bill] Yeah, it is.
994
00:42:42,209 --> 00:42:43,410
Definitely, definitely.
995
00:42:43,410 --> 00:42:46,043
You see one thing
missing, too. Right?
996
00:42:46,109 --> 00:42:49,309
-That thumb grabbing
steering wheel.
-[Bill chuckles]
997
00:42:49,309 --> 00:42:51,410
[Rick] You guys hit it
right on the head with that.
998
00:42:51,410 --> 00:42:53,209
[Bill] Man, it looks good
and not only good,
999
00:42:53,209 --> 00:42:55,943
-it looks classy, too.
-It's classy, definitely.
1000
00:42:56,010 --> 00:42:58,910
Getting a car in like this,
it's already super-slick.
1001
00:42:58,910 --> 00:43:02,143
Modifying that to
the customer's taste,
1002
00:43:02,143 --> 00:43:03,810
you know, that's always
the challenge.
1003
00:43:03,810 --> 00:43:05,443
Especially something
like this.
1004
00:43:05,510 --> 00:43:08,943
Man, I really appreciate you
trusting in me, the company.
1005
00:43:09,010 --> 00:43:10,432
To add to your dream on this.
1006
00:43:10,432 --> 00:43:11,610
To add to your dream on this.
1007
00:43:11,610 --> 00:43:14,510
Bill, it's been in my heart
and you nailed it.
1008
00:43:14,510 --> 00:43:18,043
I couldn't have dreamt anymore
than what this turned out.
1009
00:43:18,043 --> 00:43:22,209
Long time ago, I was hoping
for something like this,
and here she is.
1010
00:43:23,610 --> 00:43:26,843
It's everything that I had
ever dreamed of, Bill.
1011
00:43:26,910 --> 00:43:29,243
My kids are gonna
fight over it
1012
00:43:29,309 --> 00:43:30,843
-after my wife and I are gone.
