1
00:00:01,500 --> 00:00:03,166
-She's not gonna kill you,
is she?
-That's really up to you.
2
00:00:03,166 --> 00:00:05,100
My life's in your hands
with this, now.
3
00:00:05,100 --> 00:00:07,100
[Bill]
You know, it's real cool
to see a brand-new Bronco
4
00:00:07,100 --> 00:00:10,200
roll up in the parking lot
today, and I hate driving
stock cars.
5
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:11,667
I passed three of 'em
on the way in.
6
00:00:11,667 --> 00:00:12,767
[Bill]
What are our limitations?
7
00:00:12,767 --> 00:00:14,166
[Ryan] It's gotta
fit in the garage, man.
That's it.
8
00:00:14,166 --> 00:00:15,567
[Jamie]
You came to the right place.
9
00:00:15,567 --> 00:00:17,800
The color matching the
roof of the Bronco
not only looks custom,
10
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:18,767
it looks classy.
11
00:00:18,767 --> 00:00:20,233
Right on the money!
12
00:00:20,233 --> 00:00:24,867
[Bill] The owners of the
'68 GTO wanted this entire
engine bay paneled off.
13
00:00:24,867 --> 00:00:26,367
Let's get our beads on.
14
00:00:26,367 --> 00:00:29,767
Full custom metal work,
fender to fender,
front to back.
15
00:00:29,767 --> 00:00:31,867
Never done anything
this complicated before.
16
00:00:31,867 --> 00:00:34,266
-Go ahead, look at that. Look!
-Oh, my gosh!
17
00:00:34,266 --> 00:00:37,166
[theme music playing]
18
00:00:37,967 --> 00:00:39,367
I'm Bill Carlton.
19
00:00:39,367 --> 00:00:42,367
I built my first truck
when I was 16.
20
00:00:42,367 --> 00:00:46,867
And ever since, me and my guys
have been out here
creating with our hands...
21
00:00:48,867 --> 00:00:53,967
building the biggest,
lowest, baddest custom trucks
and cars in the game.
22
00:00:55,500 --> 00:00:58,000
People don't come here
for what they need,
23
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,934
they come here
for what they want.
24
00:01:01,767 --> 00:01:05,166
This is Texas Metal.
25
00:01:13,767 --> 00:01:16,400
-What's happening, man?
Morning.
-Morning.
26
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,100
-Need your help, buddy.
-[chuckles] Okay.
27
00:01:19,100 --> 00:01:21,467
Need a couple things.
You know, the GTO,
28
00:01:21,467 --> 00:01:23,467
we've done a ton of work
so far.
29
00:01:23,467 --> 00:01:24,867
[heavy metal music playing]
30
00:01:27,567 --> 00:01:31,867
You know, first thing,
getting it in the shop,
unbolting the chassis,
31
00:01:31,867 --> 00:01:35,300
and just rolling
everything out,
engine, trans, everything
32
00:01:35,300 --> 00:01:36,500
-and just started fresh.
-Mmm-hmm.
33
00:01:36,500 --> 00:01:39,567
Building the new frame rails,
front to back,
34
00:01:39,567 --> 00:01:43,100
all that rectangle tubing
all handmade,
35
00:01:43,100 --> 00:01:47,266
all the suspension's done,
you know, four-link,
got coilovers in it.
36
00:01:48,767 --> 00:01:53,967
The car sits on its own now.
The next step, the customer
wants something really
37
00:01:53,967 --> 00:01:54,967
under the hood.
38
00:01:54,967 --> 00:01:57,400
Got the brand-new LT4 mounted.
39
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,700
-Ten speed.
Cool, cool, cool car.
-[Carlos] Yeah.
40
00:02:00,700 --> 00:02:02,467
But, I need some sheet metal
41
00:02:02,467 --> 00:02:05,166
'cause we're gonna panel off
everything
underneath the hood.
42
00:02:05,166 --> 00:02:07,300
We're definitely gonna
need a lot of sheet metal.
43
00:02:07,300 --> 00:02:10,200
He wants to be able
to pop the hood,
and people will go, "Wow.
44
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:11,500
What's going on here?"
45
00:02:11,500 --> 00:02:14,100
So, you're gonna
cover up that beautiful LT4?
46
00:02:14,100 --> 00:02:18,266
[Bill] Yeah, that brand-new,
horrible-looking,
supercharged LT4?
47
00:02:18,266 --> 00:02:19,867
-[Carlos] Yeah.
-[Bill] Yeah.
48
00:02:19,867 --> 00:02:23,567
So, when you pop the hood,
only thing you're gonna see
is that supercharger
49
00:02:23,567 --> 00:02:25,200
without any dead metal.
50
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,867
And then, we're gonna trim
everything else out.
51
00:02:27,867 --> 00:02:29,867
Build panels all the way
around the engine
52
00:02:29,867 --> 00:02:31,667
to fill in
the whole engine compartment.
53
00:02:31,667 --> 00:02:33,066
[Carlos] So,
you open that hood,
54
00:02:33,066 --> 00:02:36,467
it's just gonna be full
custom metalwork,
fender to fender,
55
00:02:36,467 --> 00:02:39,900
-front to back?
-[Bill] Fit and finish
is gonna be really key
56
00:02:39,900 --> 00:02:42,200
on something like that,
'cause it's all
you're gonna see.
57
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:43,500
[Carlos] Mmm-hmm.
58
00:02:43,500 --> 00:02:45,166
[Bill]
So, we really gotta spend
some time underneath there
59
00:02:45,166 --> 00:02:47,100
making it look
really, really nice.
60
00:02:47,100 --> 00:02:49,266
[Carlos] That's gonna be
pretty awesome
flowing all together, man.
61
00:02:49,266 --> 00:02:51,367
Man, that's gonna look
really, really nice
inside that.
62
00:02:51,367 --> 00:02:53,000
You know,
once that's all done,
63
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,533
we're just really
getting started.
64
00:02:57,166 --> 00:02:59,800
You know, we can start
taking everything apart,
65
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,367
get the body on a cart,
get it off to blast
66
00:03:02,367 --> 00:03:04,967
and really see what
we're working with
when that comes back.
67
00:03:04,967 --> 00:03:07,667
You know, of course,
John's gotta come with it
on the interior.
68
00:03:07,667 --> 00:03:09,300
I mean, it's pretty much
a time capsule.
69
00:03:09,300 --> 00:03:13,066
-I mean, it was
a good-looking car.
-[Carlos] Hmm-hmm.
70
00:03:14,266 --> 00:03:16,266
-John's got work to do.
-[Carlos] Yeah.
71
00:03:16,266 --> 00:03:17,567
Need some sheet metal first.
72
00:03:17,567 --> 00:03:20,700
Cool, well
I'll get that 18-gauge
and the 20-gauge
73
00:03:20,700 --> 00:03:23,133
-and we'll get it going.
Cool. All right.
-Thank you.
74
00:03:28,266 --> 00:03:30,166
[Ryan] All right, so
we're gonna start doing
the sheet metal work
75
00:03:30,166 --> 00:03:32,000
on the front of this GTO.
76
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,667
First off, I'm gonna
start with the motor.
77
00:03:34,667 --> 00:03:38,900
So, the motor's gonna be
basically... I mean,
it's the center of everything.
78
00:03:38,900 --> 00:03:43,700
But, everything
below this portion here
is gonna be hidden.
79
00:03:43,700 --> 00:03:45,667
So, I wanna start
with valve covers.
80
00:03:45,667 --> 00:03:50,800
Take a measurement,
and I'll start with
these four points right here.
81
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,500
That's gonna be
my mounting point,
right there.
82
00:03:52,500 --> 00:03:55,734
And then I'll figure out
somewhere else to
mount the bottom of it.
83
00:03:58,467 --> 00:04:02,367
Right now, I'm just
trying to come up with
something that I like.
84
00:04:02,367 --> 00:04:04,100
We're always trying to make
something cool.
85
00:04:04,100 --> 00:04:06,967
We're also just trying not to
do the same thing twice.
86
00:04:06,967 --> 00:04:08,433
So, that's the hard part.
87
00:04:11,467 --> 00:04:13,500
So, I got my pattern,
I got my shape.
88
00:04:13,500 --> 00:04:17,400
We'll make some marks
on the sheet metal,
get this laid out.
89
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:23,166
And then I can make
all my lines and circles
and radiuses
90
00:04:23,166 --> 00:04:25,967
and all that good stuff
for my bead rolling.
91
00:04:31,767 --> 00:04:33,867
You know, just playing
with ideas like a design,
92
00:04:33,867 --> 00:04:37,700
you know how much material
I can get in there
to actually bead roll.
93
00:04:37,700 --> 00:04:40,867
And then making it flow
with something else
that's already on the car,
94
00:04:40,867 --> 00:04:44,000
the floor and the back already
has the same kinda pattern.
95
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,734
Everything is flowing
from front to back.
96
00:04:49,100 --> 00:04:52,100
Yeah, you don't ever
wanna do something up front,
97
00:04:52,100 --> 00:04:53,900
and then get it mixed up
with something in the middle
98
00:04:53,900 --> 00:04:57,166
and then
something in the rear,
something underneath...
99
00:04:57,166 --> 00:04:59,700
It's very easy
to get off-track.
100
00:04:59,700 --> 00:05:03,467
It's very easy to have
a lot going on real fast
101
00:05:03,467 --> 00:05:05,266
without even really
catching it.
102
00:05:05,266 --> 00:05:11,066
So, sticking with one theme
is always usually, you know,
the hardest thing.
103
00:05:11,066 --> 00:05:13,667
You know, it's a huge part
of what we do,
104
00:05:13,667 --> 00:05:16,867
and that's what separates
us from the rest.
105
00:05:18,967 --> 00:05:20,233
[upbeat music playing]
106
00:05:27,166 --> 00:05:29,567
All right, so I got
this side bolted up.
It looks good.
107
00:05:29,567 --> 00:05:31,867
Obviously, need to make
some mounts for the bottom
108
00:05:31,867 --> 00:05:33,266
so it doesn't sit here
and rattle.
109
00:05:33,266 --> 00:05:35,066
Probably box the front.
In the meantime,
110
00:05:35,066 --> 00:05:36,800
we're gonna start making
that side over there.
111
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,667
we'll do the same,
exact thing, and then I can
figure out
112
00:05:39,667 --> 00:05:41,200
how to tie the two in
together,
113
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,867
before anything is cut
and welded
or anything like that.
114
00:05:43,867 --> 00:05:45,533
[upbeat music playing]
115
00:05:52,467 --> 00:05:56,166
All right, so now that we have
both of our valve covers
mounted on the car,
116
00:05:56,166 --> 00:06:00,734
we can fasten the bottom side
of 'em and make 'em a little
bit more rigid.
117
00:06:03,100 --> 00:06:04,834
[upbeat music playing]
118
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,100
Okay, so, now,
they're fastened.
119
00:06:15,100 --> 00:06:17,900
They got a little bit
of structure to 'em,
they're not gonna go anywhere.
120
00:06:17,900 --> 00:06:20,467
This is exactly where
they're gonna stay
after they're painted
121
00:06:20,467 --> 00:06:21,967
and body worked
and all that good stuff.
122
00:06:25,166 --> 00:06:26,367
[upbeat music playing]
123
00:06:27,367 --> 00:06:29,867
So, now, we can move on
to the firewall
124
00:06:29,867 --> 00:06:32,900
and creating a firewall
further out
with a lip on it,
125
00:06:32,900 --> 00:06:35,767
something to fasten to
and something to button up
126
00:06:35,767 --> 00:06:40,266
will be ideal for starting
and working towards
the front of the car.
127
00:06:42,967 --> 00:06:44,567
I'm gonna do it in two pieces
128
00:06:44,567 --> 00:06:48,266
because I'm gonna have
to cut it in the middle,
anyways,
129
00:06:48,266 --> 00:06:50,934
so there's no point
in cutting one long piece.
130
00:06:54,967 --> 00:06:57,634
Might have to shape
around that thing ol' thing
right there man.
131
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,200
I'm just putting
the lines there
132
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,367
so I know where I need
to shrink and stretch.
133
00:07:04,867 --> 00:07:07,166
I need to shrink now.
134
00:07:07,166 --> 00:07:12,967
This thing has, like,
a gradual, like, slope.
It's not perfectly flat.
135
00:07:12,967 --> 00:07:16,300
Just trying to match that
and just, kind of, slowly
walk your way down.
136
00:07:16,300 --> 00:07:18,867
Might be able to get it
right on the money!
137
00:07:20,300 --> 00:07:21,867
[upbeat music playing]
138
00:07:29,900 --> 00:07:34,066
Oh, yeah. Real, real nice.
I'm not gonna mess with that
anymore. That is good.
139
00:07:37,567 --> 00:07:39,266
[upbeat music playing]
140
00:07:52,066 --> 00:07:55,567
You know, it's real cool to
see a brand-new Bronco roll up
in the parking lot today.
141
00:07:55,567 --> 00:07:58,567
These things
are really sought after.
They're hard to get.
142
00:07:58,567 --> 00:08:01,967
And, you know, I'm just
kinda curious to see
what's in store for this one.
143
00:08:01,967 --> 00:08:04,734
Hopefully, we'll get to do
a little customization to it.
144
00:08:07,166 --> 00:08:09,200
-What's up, man?
-How's it going?
Nice to meet you.
145
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,266
-Ryan Coffel.
-Ryan, nice to meet you.
I'm Bill.
146
00:08:11,266 --> 00:08:12,367
Cool. Good to meet you.
147
00:08:12,367 --> 00:08:14,700
That's a cool truck
you got, man.
New Bronco, huh?
148
00:08:14,700 --> 00:08:18,467
We don't get many of those.
We haven't had any
come in the parking lot.
149
00:08:18,467 --> 00:08:20,767
Yes, sir, they're kind of
hard to come by right now.
150
00:08:20,767 --> 00:08:23,200
It's a long waiting list
on 'em. We waited
over a year for this one.
151
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:27,867
We bought the Bronco
after many years of
my wife driving a minivan,
152
00:08:27,867 --> 00:08:29,200
and SUVs
with the third-row.
153
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:30,567
She saw these Broncos
and wanted one.
154
00:08:30,567 --> 00:08:32,467
Man, I was totally
onboard with that.
155
00:08:32,467 --> 00:08:35,400
We've had it
about eight months,
and it's time, man.
156
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,400
It's time to do
something else to it.
157
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,000
Yeah, you starting to see 'em
on the road now?
158
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,367
Passed three or four of 'em
on the way in to see you
this morning, so...
159
00:08:41,367 --> 00:08:44,567
Man, I know exactly
how you feel. Man,
I hate driving stock cars.
160
00:08:44,567 --> 00:08:46,467
Eight months,
I can totally understand.
161
00:08:46,467 --> 00:08:50,200
You know, typically,
when it comes to customization
on a new car,
162
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:51,700
I like to maybe
wait eight hours.
163
00:08:51,700 --> 00:08:54,367
-What are our limitations?
-It's gotta fit in the garage,
man. That's it.
164
00:08:54,367 --> 00:08:55,700
This her baby.
She tucks it in every night.
165
00:08:55,700 --> 00:08:57,000
-[Bill] So, no crazy lift?
-Nope.
166
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,100
You know,
something aggressive,
a little tough, mean-looking.
167
00:08:59,100 --> 00:09:02,100
Just add a little bit
to the height to achieve that.
Whatever it takes.
168
00:09:02,100 --> 00:09:03,567
[Bill] Man, I love it.
I love it.
169
00:09:03,567 --> 00:09:06,166
You know, right off the bat,
I see a couple things
we can do to it
170
00:09:06,166 --> 00:09:07,433
to really make it stand out.
171
00:09:10,367 --> 00:09:12,400
Stance sets the attitude
of the whole car.
172
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,000
-Yeah.
-A little bit bigger
wheel and tire
173
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,100
would just make
all the difference
in the world.
174
00:09:17,100 --> 00:09:18,400
When you pass somebody
on the highway,
175
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,567
we want them to go,
"Man, check that one out.
176
00:09:20,567 --> 00:09:22,967
Why does that one
look cooler than the last one
I've seen?"
177
00:09:22,967 --> 00:09:25,800
Adding bigger wheels
and tires
and lifting this thing up,
178
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,000
it's gonna look like a beast.
179
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,266
[Bill] And the bumper's
a little black in the front.
180
00:09:29,266 --> 00:09:31,400
-Yeah I see that.
-So, changing
that front bumper
181
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,867
to something that looks mean
is a must.
182
00:09:33,867 --> 00:09:36,867
But, if we're gonna do that,
we might as well
add lighting also.
183
00:09:36,867 --> 00:09:38,400
-Oh-ho! Yeah!
-Light it up!
184
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,467
So, at night,
you can really see
what's going on,
185
00:09:40,467 --> 00:09:41,867
and where you're going.
186
00:09:41,867 --> 00:09:45,567
You know, we might as well
add some lights
up close to the mirrors.
187
00:09:45,567 --> 00:09:47,400
-The more the better.
-Yeah.
188
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,100
[Ryan] And there's six
toggle switches inside
189
00:09:49,100 --> 00:09:50,867
and there's nothing hooked up
to 'em right now,
190
00:09:50,867 --> 00:09:52,266
so that sounds good, man.
That...
191
00:09:52,266 --> 00:09:54,467
-[Bill] So, we'll definitely
fix that.
-[Ryan] Yeah.
192
00:09:54,467 --> 00:09:57,700
You know, one of the things
is this gap in-between here.
193
00:09:57,700 --> 00:09:59,100
It looks unfinished.
194
00:09:59,100 --> 00:10:01,600
It does, yeah.
I don't know how it left
the factory looking like that.
195
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,266
[Bill] I think taking
these off,
196
00:10:03,266 --> 00:10:05,767
replacing it
with something that looks
more aggressive too,
197
00:10:05,767 --> 00:10:08,567
-that'd be the way
to go with the steps for sure.
-I see that.
198
00:10:08,567 --> 00:10:11,500
Man, I love
this color on here.
It looks great.
199
00:10:11,500 --> 00:10:13,400
I think spraying
the roof body color
200
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,667
would just really,
really wake it up.
201
00:10:15,667 --> 00:10:20,200
You know, not only the roof,
the fender flares
and the mirrors,
202
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,100
-it would not only look custom
but classy.
-Yeah.
203
00:10:23,100 --> 00:10:25,200
Bill's come up
with some really great ideas
for the Bronco.
204
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,667
I'm not gonna tell my wife
about anything
Bill suggested.
205
00:10:28,667 --> 00:10:30,667
I'm just gonna wait for her
to see it when it's finished.
206
00:10:30,667 --> 00:10:33,000
Man, if you could do all that,
I'll be excited.
207
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,467
But, for my wife, I mean
she'd probably think
208
00:10:34,467 --> 00:10:35,667
it's prank when she sees it.
209
00:10:35,667 --> 00:10:36,967
She won't believe
that it's hers.
210
00:10:36,967 --> 00:10:39,100
-She's not gonna kill
you, is she?
-That's really up to you.
211
00:10:39,100 --> 00:10:40,467
-[laughs]
-It's in your hands.
212
00:10:40,467 --> 00:10:43,467
-My life's in your hands
with this now.
-Okay.
213
00:10:43,467 --> 00:10:46,500
Man, you're in good hands.
We'll get you fixed up.
Let's go make it happen.
214
00:10:46,500 --> 00:10:47,667
Let's do it.
215
00:10:48,300 --> 00:10:49,967
[upbeat music playing]
216
00:10:55,100 --> 00:10:57,800
Ford did a great job
with the new Broncos.
217
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:02,066
Making them look good,
but there's always room
for improvement.
218
00:11:02,066 --> 00:11:05,367
Taking a brand-new car
is a whole different set
of challenges
219
00:11:05,367 --> 00:11:07,000
than customizing an old car.
220
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,467
It takes a lot to come up
with that unique package
221
00:11:10,467 --> 00:11:13,667
that sets yours apart
from everyone else's.
222
00:11:13,667 --> 00:11:17,367
You can't just throw
a bunch of parts at it and go,
"Okay, cool, it's custom."
223
00:11:17,367 --> 00:11:21,100
Doesn't work like that.
It's picking those right parts
224
00:11:21,100 --> 00:11:22,800
that just all flow together
225
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,000
in one, complete package.
226
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:26,567
That's what we need to do.
227
00:11:26,567 --> 00:11:30,567
There's a lot of thought,
a lot of time, a lot of effort
to get the cars looking
228
00:11:30,567 --> 00:11:32,867
as good as it does right now.
229
00:11:32,867 --> 00:11:35,767
Taking that design,
all those elements
230
00:11:35,767 --> 00:11:39,367
and building upon it,
that's our specialty here.
231
00:11:39,367 --> 00:11:42,367
You know, creating something
that nobody else has,
232
00:11:42,367 --> 00:11:45,233
and everybody else then
will copy off you.
233
00:11:52,367 --> 00:11:55,700
Man, 2023 Bronco.
These things...
234
00:11:55,700 --> 00:11:58,266
-I haven't been underneath
one of these yet.
-Yeah, it's pretty sweet.
235
00:11:58,266 --> 00:11:59,867
-[Bill] Y'all checking it out?
-[Jamie] Yeah, man.
236
00:11:59,867 --> 00:12:02,000
Super excited to kind of see
how everything works.
237
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,600
Always love looking
underneath these things.
238
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,867
-I love it. No dirt.
-No dirt dude.
That's the nicest thing.
239
00:12:06,867 --> 00:12:09,467
All that rust, nasty stuff
falling on your face?
240
00:12:09,467 --> 00:12:10,867
-[Bill] Right.
-We don't have to deal
with that on this one.
241
00:12:10,867 --> 00:12:12,467
-Thank God.
-Yeah, man.
242
00:12:12,467 --> 00:12:13,767
So, what are we doing
to this brand-new truck?
243
00:12:13,767 --> 00:12:16,166
Very good, Thomas.
Thank you for asking.
244
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:17,834
[laughter]
245
00:12:18,467 --> 00:12:20,066
Here we go.
246
00:12:20,066 --> 00:12:23,567
[Bill]
You know, brand-new Bronco.
Not many of these on the road.
247
00:12:23,567 --> 00:12:26,066
But there are some,
so that's the problem here.
248
00:12:26,066 --> 00:12:27,367
I mean, you go
to a dealership,
249
00:12:27,367 --> 00:12:29,567
you get the best thing
that they have,
250
00:12:29,567 --> 00:12:32,867
you're feeling good
about your purchase,
you're driving down the road.
251
00:12:32,867 --> 00:12:34,000
[mimics car driving past]
252
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,200
-You see another one,
-"That looks just like mine."
253
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:37,567
You know,
that's the problem here.
254
00:12:37,567 --> 00:12:39,600
That's the problem
we're gonna fix today.
255
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,667
-You came to the right place.
-That's it, man.
256
00:12:42,767 --> 00:12:44,767
[Bill]
You know, we got a lot
to do with it, man.
257
00:12:44,767 --> 00:12:47,000
We gotta change these bumpers,
make it look a little meaner
258
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,667
when it's going down the road
at you, right?
259
00:12:48,667 --> 00:12:51,300
-[Jamie] Give that tough look.
-[Bill] Exactly.
260
00:12:51,300 --> 00:12:54,166
You know, another thing
we gotta do,
see the steps here
261
00:12:54,166 --> 00:12:57,166
have a big gap in-between it.
We're gonna rectify that.
262
00:12:57,166 --> 00:12:58,767
Make that
little more stylish, right?
263
00:12:58,767 --> 00:13:01,166
And, of course, we're gonna
give it a little lift.
264
00:13:01,166 --> 00:13:04,600
-[Jamie] Oh, yeah.
-[Bill] We're gonna tear
this all apart,
265
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:05,967
upgrade the suspension.
266
00:13:05,967 --> 00:13:09,066
-[Jamie] Nice, aggressive
look to it, and bumpers...
-[Bill] Yeah.
267
00:13:09,066 --> 00:13:10,367
Different wheels and tires.
268
00:13:10,367 --> 00:13:13,266
I see where it's going.
I'm starting to see
the picture.
269
00:13:13,266 --> 00:13:15,467
[Bill] Yeah.
This is a gift for his wife,
a surprise.
270
00:13:15,467 --> 00:13:18,266
So, he wants it different
from everybody else's.
271
00:13:18,266 --> 00:13:19,500
Is it really a gift
for his wife
272
00:13:19,500 --> 00:13:21,867
or is it something
he's gonna be driving
all the time...
273
00:13:21,867 --> 00:13:22,867
-[Bill] Well...
-...but it's "His wife's"?
274
00:13:22,867 --> 00:13:24,667
Man, I don't know
how that's gonna work out,
275
00:13:24,667 --> 00:13:26,300
-but that's the plan
right now.
-Yeah.
276
00:13:26,300 --> 00:13:28,000
[Bill]
I think one thing
that's gonna be really cool,
277
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:29,600
we're gonna change
the color of the top.
278
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,200
We're gonna smooth
all the texture out,
and paint it body color.
279
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,300
So, all the black is gonna be
the same green color
as the rest of the car?
280
00:13:36,300 --> 00:13:37,367
That's it, man.
281
00:13:37,367 --> 00:13:39,767
We're gonna light this up
front and back also.
282
00:13:39,767 --> 00:13:42,400
So, we're gonna make this one
apart from all the rest
of 'em.
283
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,266
So, you're gonna let him
work with you today?
284
00:13:44,266 --> 00:13:47,000
Oh, God, am I ever
gonna yell at him so loud.
285
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,700
-Are you ready?
-Let's get it.
286
00:13:49,700 --> 00:13:51,066
[upbeat music playing]
287
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:56,467
[Bill] I've asked Jamie
and Thomas to tear down
this new Bronco.
288
00:13:56,467 --> 00:14:00,333
Thomas is one of our new guys.
This is a good job
to get his feet wet.
289
00:14:01,767 --> 00:14:03,667
You know, we all
started somewhere
just like Thomas.
290
00:14:03,667 --> 00:14:07,467
In those early days,
you gotta work harder
than everyone else.
291
00:14:07,467 --> 00:14:10,300
-Lower these steps off.
-Yes, sir.
292
00:14:10,300 --> 00:14:14,667
[Bill] And you gotta prove
yourself 'cause you're
learning all your skills.
293
00:14:14,667 --> 00:14:17,033
And, so far, he's working
his butt off.
294
00:14:20,166 --> 00:14:22,367
Be best if you
bring your own tools.
295
00:14:22,367 --> 00:14:24,166
I'm using yours.
296
00:14:24,166 --> 00:14:25,533
[laughing]
297
00:14:30,900 --> 00:14:33,700
Man, taking apart one of
these brand-new trucks
is a lot different
298
00:14:33,700 --> 00:14:35,266
than an old, rusty truck.
299
00:14:35,266 --> 00:14:37,166
Everything comes apart
smoothly.
300
00:14:37,166 --> 00:14:40,667
Except for this one.
Hey, Jamie, it's just spinning
in there.
301
00:14:45,367 --> 00:14:47,066
[Jamie] It's all right, dawg.
You're gonna get it, man.
302
00:14:56,700 --> 00:14:59,767
Taking apart a new vehicle,
you know, you have
to pay attention
303
00:14:59,767 --> 00:15:01,233
where everything goes.
304
00:15:01,233 --> 00:15:04,200
I have no experience doing
this on this kind of vehicle,
'cause it's new.
305
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:08,166
You always wanna pay
attention, bag everything
write everything down.
306
00:15:08,166 --> 00:15:11,000
I always like to put
the nuts and bolts back in
where they go.
307
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,300
It's just, you know, a quick
rule of thumb, just put it
here, pay attention,
308
00:15:14,300 --> 00:15:15,700
think ten steps ahead,
309
00:15:15,700 --> 00:15:19,367
and it should go back
together like nothing
we've ever built before.
310
00:15:22,767 --> 00:15:25,667
-Yo, that's the lightest
bumper ever, right?
-[Jamie] Yeah.
311
00:15:25,667 --> 00:15:26,934
It's real light.
312
00:15:27,667 --> 00:15:29,667
Okay, so, we're on
the back now.
313
00:15:29,667 --> 00:15:31,166
Fixing to put all
our components on.
314
00:15:31,166 --> 00:15:35,166
What we're gonna be
installing is a lower,
upper, strut,
315
00:15:35,166 --> 00:15:37,967
put a little rock guard
right here and a track bar.
316
00:15:45,066 --> 00:15:48,667
I mean, there's no comparison.

just a hair, little bit more,
right there.
321

These go in real simple.
322
00:16:05,100 --> 00:16:08,100
These sliders
protect the pullover
from any kind of rocks,
323
00:16:08,100 --> 00:16:12,300
trees, so that the stem
doesn't get bent, damaged,
anything like that.
324
00:16:12,300 --> 00:16:15,266
That's gonna give us
our lip.
325
00:16:15,266 --> 00:16:18,200
All right, so we got our
coilover installed now,
our rock guard.
326
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,166
Now, it's time to go ahead
and replace this lower link.

Y'all can't tell, but this
is super light, thin metal.

00:16:27,667 --> 00:16:29,266
This one right here
is heavy duty.
330
00:16:29,266 --> 00:16:33,433
We're gonna go with
the strength on this one

331
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,867
Lowers are installed now.
Everything looks nice.
332
00:16:38,867 --> 00:16:41,667
Now, we're gonna start
doing the uppers.
333
00:16:41,667 --> 00:16:44,233
Go ahead and get
yours in there.
334
00:16:46,667 --> 00:16:48,867
So, last thing
on the rear suspension
we're gonna do
335
00:16:48,867 --> 00:16:50,066
is replace the track bar.
336
00:16:50,066 --> 00:16:52,767
We're gonna get rid
of the OEM track bar
337
00:16:52,767 --> 00:16:55,367
and use this BDS
aftermarket track bar.
338
00:16:55,367 --> 00:16:59,000
It's a lot beefier,
it's got better hums.
339
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:03,000
Track bar
centers your rear end
when you're going up and down.
340
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,867
You know, you have basically
the parallel four link
on it right now.
341
00:17:05,867 --> 00:17:11,066
So, it can move side to side.
So, this track bar is gonna
keep it true and center.
342
00:17:11,066 --> 00:17:12,800
Twice as strong
than this morning.

[Jamie] Ooh,
you're so strong.
344
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,567
This thing is set up.
It looks way better
than it did before.
345
00:17:20,567 --> 00:17:23,533
Super happy with it.
And it's gonna be a nice ride.
346
00:17:25,500 --> 00:17:28,467
You know, it always gets me
excited to see
the diversity of the builds

completely by hand and metal,
as it should be.
351
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:45,667
[Ryan] All right, cool, so,
Bill approved the design
I had,
352
00:17:45,667 --> 00:17:48,200
and kind of the route
I wanted to go.
353
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,667
Thinks it looks pretty cool.
So, I'm gonna go ahead
354
00:17:50,667 --> 00:17:52,266
and start taking
these templates
355
00:17:52,266 --> 00:17:54,767
and making them
into metal, now.
356
00:17:59,867 --> 00:18:03,834
Once it's all done,
this is definitely going to be
one of a kind.

That's what he wants.

We wanna put mesh into it,

in a little while.

[upbeat music playing]
377
00:19:20,700 --> 00:19:24,800
Building anything from scratch
like the engine bay
with the '68 GTO
378
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,400
it definitely takes skill
and experience.
379

But it's the patience
to see it through
that matters just as much.
380

To cut and weld everything up
and do it right
the first time.
381
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:41,400
[Ryan]
I got all the metalwork done
up to this point.
382
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,667
I left this point for last
just because of
the master cylinder.
383
00:19:44,667 --> 00:19:49,066
It seems like
a relatively small part,
384
00:19:49,066 --> 00:19:50,667
compared to everything else
that's already happened,
385
00:19:50,667 --> 00:19:53,700
but this is probably
one of the bigger ones,
386
00:19:53,700 --> 00:19:55,567
and I wanted to put
more thought into it,
387
00:19:55,567 --> 00:19:57,000
and I've been
thinking about it
388
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:58,467
while I've also been doing
all this, too.
389
00:19:58,467 --> 00:20:00,500
So, it's kinda like
the home stretch right here.
390
00:20:00,500 --> 00:20:03,533
Still got about six more
panels to make.
391
00:20:05,066 --> 00:20:07,100
[upbeat music playing]
392
00:20:07,100 --> 00:20:09,967
The good thing is
I saved all of
my chip board templates.
393
00:20:09,967 --> 00:20:12,100
So, it'll be easier for me
to duplicate everything.
394
00:20:12,100 --> 00:20:16,600
All I gotta do is take this
and bend it the opposite way
of this,
395
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,767
and then I get my mirror image
over there, right?
396
00:20:20,367 --> 00:20:23,100
If you're ever doing
any panels
and you gotta mirror anything,
397
00:20:23,100 --> 00:20:24,600
just always save
all your templates.
398
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:28,400
It'll make life easier for you
in the future.
399
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:32,967
Whenever I bead roll it,
it's gotta have this step up
in it just like that one does.
400
00:20:32,967 --> 00:20:35,367
So, I'm trying to see
which way I need to go.
401
00:20:37,667 --> 00:20:41,900

needs to be raised.
Let's get our beads on.

[upbeat music playing]

So, duplicating everything
is gonna be one of
the trickier parts.
404
00:20:50,166 --> 00:20:55,300
So, this has to match that,
or else everybody is gonna
automatically be drawn

building chassis

I think I could've done that
faster than I've done this.

00:21:52,266 --> 00:21:53,967
[Bill]
You know, the trick
to the engine bay,
420
00:21:53,967 --> 00:21:58,600
like in the GTO, is being part
fabricator, part mechanic,
and part artist.
421
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,467
You know, I've been keeping
an eye on it the whole time.
422
00:22:00,467 --> 00:22:05,100
And Ryan's doing a great job
of finding that balance
between form and function.
423
00:22:05,100 --> 00:22:09,266
All right, so, one of my last
fillers that I have to make
for this side over here
424
00:22:09,266 --> 00:22:13,000
to cover all
my master cylinder,
my windshield wiper motor,
425
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,000
all that good stuff.
426
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,100
So, I'm gonna weld
the stud into here
427
00:22:16,100 --> 00:22:18,500
to where it can go down to
where we can keep that
428
00:22:18,500 --> 00:22:22,367
same look of minimal bolt
showing like it's supposed to.

like "All right,
just put it on top,

00:22:29,066 --> 00:22:31,066
it's not gonna get
in the way of anything."
432
00:22:31,066 --> 00:22:35,900
But I still got a hood that's
gotta come down and shut
and not hit all this stuff.
433
00:22:35,900 --> 00:22:39,467
You know, so there's like
a million things that you
gotta think about,
434
00:22:39,467 --> 00:22:43,967
and a million things
you gotta do just to get like
four pieces to work right.
435
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:49,600
I still got a lot more to do
as far as welding
and finishing

and cutting all of my holes
out for all my vents,

but the big part was done now.

00:22:56,300 --> 00:23:00,900
Every single part and piece
is done for the whole
sheet metal engine bay now.
439
00:23:00,900 --> 00:23:03,500
I got plenty of room for
adjustment and all that

[Patrick] Bill came up
with this crazy idea.
452
00:23:39,066 --> 00:23:43,467
He actually wants
all the black plastics to
color match with the vehicle.
453
00:23:43,467 --> 00:23:46,467
So, I'mma go ahead,
get started disassembling
the vehicle.
454
00:23:50,867 --> 00:23:55,266
Get everything off,
get it to prep
and get some paint on it.

I'mma go ahead and get
the rubber taken off.
Don't wanna damage it.
456
00:24:02,567 --> 00:24:04,467
All right, on this rubber
we gotta be very careful.
457
00:24:04,467 --> 00:24:06,266
It has double-sided
tape on it.
458
00:24:06,266 --> 00:24:09,467
We don't wanna damage
the double-sided tape
nor the top.
459
00:24:12,266 --> 00:24:15,700
I'mma gonna go ahead
and get started sanding
with the 100 grit sandpaper.
460
00:24:15,700 --> 00:24:20,767
Normally, we do 80.
I'd rather do 100 on this one
because it's pretty smooth.
461
00:24:20,767 --> 00:24:25,700
So when I prime it,
the primer fills up
any other voids.
462
00:24:25,700 --> 00:24:31,000
As far as like edges
and the valleys, you pretty
much wanna do that by hand.
463
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,166
The machine
will actually gouge into it
464
00:24:33,166 --> 00:24:35,567
because it's bigger
than this area.
465
00:24:35,567 --> 00:24:37,266
So, it's better to do it
by hand.
466
00:24:37,266 --> 00:24:41,467
We don't wanna add extra work,
so we gonna try to
get it perfect the first time.

the valleys done, we'll go
back and do the edges.

00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:22,166
As you can see,
it's pretty thick primer
It's a real high build.
475
00:25:22,166 --> 00:25:24,800
It will take up
a lot of scratches and cracks
476
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:28,166
and anything that's left
on the surface.
477
00:25:28,166 --> 00:25:29,834
All right. Let's go in.
478
00:25:30,867 --> 00:25:32,400
Get some primer flowing.
479
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:33,834
[upbeat music playing]
480
00:25:35,700 --> 00:25:39,667
What I'm gonna give it
is like a 50-50 overlap.
481
00:25:39,667 --> 00:25:41,467
Two heavy coats
482
00:25:41,467 --> 00:25:44,367
just to make sure
that we can fill in
everything.
483
00:25:46,166 --> 00:25:50,033
After this, we're gonna
come back with the 400 grit,
wet sand it.
484
00:25:51,967 --> 00:25:53,300
Just to show you guys
the difference
485
00:25:53,300 --> 00:25:55,367
in a perfectly-prepped
surface, ready to paint,
486
00:25:55,367 --> 00:25:57,467
and a surface that's
not ready to paint,
487
00:25:57,467 --> 00:26:01,100
you have
a real slick, uniform,
everything looks the same.
488
00:26:01,100 --> 00:26:04,367
But here, it's got
a little gritty guideline.
489
00:26:04,367 --> 00:26:07,266
That's what you don't want.
You really wanna sand
all of that out.
490
00:26:07,266 --> 00:26:11,100
Get everything flat and smooth
so you won't have
any imperfections
491
00:26:11,100 --> 00:26:14,066
once you spray your base coat
and your clear on.
492
00:26:15,367 --> 00:26:18,066
Once that's all done,
I'mma move on to painting.
493
00:26:22,567 --> 00:26:24,166
[upbeat music playing]
494
00:26:26,367 --> 00:26:30,000
You know, doing what we do
around here, everybody's got
their own opinion
495
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:31,300
about the new truck designs.
496
00:26:31,300 --> 00:26:34,467
The '22 Bronco's
one of those ones
with a really nice look.
497
00:26:34,467 --> 00:26:37,166
But there's always room
for some custom
and a new bumper.
498
00:26:37,166 --> 00:26:40,266
All right, so we got
the old bumper off.
Now, we got this new bumper.
499
00:26:40,266 --> 00:26:42,400
It's way better,
it's more meatier,
500
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,800
it's just got that style to it
that we're looking for
for the build.
501
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,700
So, Thomas and I are gonna
go ahead and put these grilles
in real quick.
502
00:26:48,700 --> 00:26:51,467
Once we do that,
that's gonna give us
the location for our sensors.
503
00:26:51,467 --> 00:26:52,934
Let's flip it over real quick.
504
00:26:55,100 --> 00:26:57,000
Everything's cut out
on the grilles for it,
505
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,100
so just find a location,
keeping everything
the same as it was
506
00:27:00,100 --> 00:27:01,667
as it came off the vehicle,
507
00:27:01,667 --> 00:27:03,867
gonna install it right back on
just like it was,
508
00:27:03,867 --> 00:27:05,367
plug it back in the harness.
509
00:27:05,367 --> 00:27:06,800
It's gonna work amazing.
510
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:08,867
Okay, so I got
all the sensors installed now.
511
00:27:08,867 --> 00:27:12,100
Everything's nice and clean,
tied up, tidy.
512
00:27:12,100 --> 00:27:13,967
Next thing is go ahead
and install the bumper
513
00:27:13,967 --> 00:27:15,734
and get ready to start
putting skid plates on.
514
00:27:17,567 --> 00:27:18,934
Watch the body.
515
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:22,100
Yup.
516
00:27:22,100 --> 00:27:23,333
[upbeat music playing]
517
00:27:26,667 --> 00:27:28,400
Yup. Good.
518
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,533
Very nice piece of equipment.
519
00:27:35,100 --> 00:27:39,066
Now, we got skid plate on,
bumpers on,
they're mated together.
520
00:27:39,066 --> 00:27:41,467
Everything looks super tough
on the front of this.
521
00:27:41,467 --> 00:27:43,934
Definitely gonna notice it
down on the side of the road.
522
00:27:46,667 --> 00:27:48,066
[upbeat music playing]
523
00:27:52,166 --> 00:27:53,500
So, we got these
new headlights in.
524
00:27:53,500 --> 00:27:55,266
You know,
this is just factory.
525
00:27:55,266 --> 00:27:56,867
We went over the top
on everything else,
526
00:27:56,867 --> 00:27:58,900
so we're gonna go ahead
and install these real quick.
527
00:27:58,900 --> 00:28:01,000
First thing is,
we're gonna go ahead
and pull this grille off
528
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:02,834
get that, and we can
access the light.
529
00:28:05,900 --> 00:28:08,667
These LED lights
give you better visibility
than the stock ones.
530
00:28:08,667 --> 00:28:10,133
Grille's off.
531
00:28:10,133 --> 00:28:12,734
And there's a white halo
around the headlight
that gives that custom look.
532
00:28:13,367 --> 00:28:15,600
Ooh! Good catch.
533
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,767
All right. Really looks
naked now.
534
00:28:17,767 --> 00:28:19,567
So, go and add
those new lights in there,
535
00:28:19,567 --> 00:28:21,634
put everything back together,
see how it looks.
536
00:28:24,100 --> 00:28:25,867
It's pretty cool you know,
building this truck
537
00:28:25,867 --> 00:28:27,166
normally we've gotta
make everything.
538
00:28:27,166 --> 00:28:30,500
But this one, with our lights,
accessories, bolts on,
539
00:28:30,500 --> 00:28:32,166
kinda breaks it up,
changes it up for us
a little bit.
540
00:28:32,166 --> 00:28:33,967
[Thomas] Change of pace,
for sure.
541
00:28:35,100 --> 00:28:36,467
[Jamie]
Ready for the big reveal?
542
00:28:36,467 --> 00:28:38,333
-Test 'em out?
-Yeah, let's see.
543
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:41,166
[engine turns over]
544
00:28:42,100 --> 00:28:44,433
Nice. Turn the high beams on.
545
00:28:45,867 --> 00:28:48,867
-Way better than before.
-Oh, yeah.
546
00:28:48,867 --> 00:28:50,567
[Jamie] I know the customer's
gonna really like these.
547
00:28:50,567 --> 00:28:53,400
-[Thomas] Looks a lot better
than those stock ones.
-It does.
548
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,333
-There we go.
-Let's keep on putting
these lights on.
549
00:28:56,767 --> 00:28:59,400
Bill had the idea
to put two pod lights
on each side mirror.
550
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,100
And so, first things first,
we gotta remove
these two screws,
551
00:29:02,100 --> 00:29:06,166
put our bracket on and use
the same screws back in there,
put our pods on, that's easy.
552
00:29:08,967 --> 00:29:12,000
I'm surprised how much
it changed the look
of the whole truck.
553
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:13,867
It's really gonna add to it.
554
00:29:13,867 --> 00:29:16,667
Next step is gonna be doing
this top light bar.
555
00:29:16,667 --> 00:29:18,166
I'm seeing that says
"Accessory ready",
556
00:29:18,166 --> 00:29:19,233
so I'm thinking I know
where to start.
557
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:22,967
First step is removing
this door gasket
558
00:29:22,967 --> 00:29:24,367
and all these
plastic trim pieces,
559
00:29:24,367 --> 00:29:26,567
so we can run the wire
up through there.
560
00:29:26,567 --> 00:29:28,500
And we're gonna remove
this plastic piece up here
561
00:29:28,500 --> 00:29:30,266
so the light bar
can bolt right on.
562
00:29:30,266 --> 00:29:32,967
Then once we wire it up,
it should be all lit up.
563
00:29:34,567 --> 00:29:36,200
Man, that looks sharp.
564
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,166
That's gonna be
a bright-ass light.
565
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:40,467
[Jamie]
Everything coming together,
566
00:29:40,467 --> 00:29:43,166
but these mirrors right here
need a change also.
567
00:29:43,166 --> 00:29:45,567
So, I have
these integrated lights
in these mirror covers.
568
00:29:45,567 --> 00:29:49,400
I'm gonna bump 'em out
real quick, see how it looks.
569
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,900
You know, more lights.
You'll be able to see more,
570
00:29:51,900 --> 00:29:53,600
and it just looks cool
on here.
571
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,033
[upbeat music playing]
572
00:29:59,900 --> 00:30:01,767
[Bill]
The owners of the '68 GTO
573
00:30:01,767 --> 00:30:05,066
wanted this entire engine bay
paneled off.
574
00:30:05,066 --> 00:30:08,767
We got that accomplished,
but we're gonna need
a little bit of airflow
575
00:30:08,767 --> 00:30:11,567
and something, really,
to break up all of
the flatness.
576
00:30:11,567 --> 00:30:16,266
So, we're making some grilles
and it's gonna look
a lot cooler.
577
00:30:16,266 --> 00:30:18,166
So, that's it.
578
00:30:18,166 --> 00:30:21,467
-My boy's gonna get after it
here. You got this?
-Yes, sir, I got it.
579
00:30:23,467 --> 00:30:24,433
So...
580
00:30:27,166 --> 00:30:29,467
That's the next step.
Once that gets all cut,
581
00:30:29,467 --> 00:30:31,467
we can start making
our aluminum grilles,
582
00:30:31,467 --> 00:30:35,100
and then we can tear
this car completely apart.
583
00:30:35,100 --> 00:30:37,800
[Dustin] I'm gonna go ahead
and drill holes in each corner
584
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:42,300
and that's gonna give me
a nice, round edge, instead of
having to make that by hand.
585
00:30:42,300 --> 00:30:44,867
I'll have a nice corner
to start with.
586
00:30:44,867 --> 00:30:47,500
And then I just connect
the dots from there.
587
00:30:47,500 --> 00:30:50,567
Using this little stainless
quarter-inch washer here
588
00:30:50,567 --> 00:30:53,800
as a template,
so when you look
under the car,
589
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,433
it'll look very nice
and consistent.
590
00:30:57,767 --> 00:31:02,266
Then we'll be able to put
some mesh material
in-between our template,
591
00:31:02,266 --> 00:31:04,767
and then the actual
sheet metal on the motor,
592
00:31:04,767 --> 00:31:06,867
and then we'll be able
to vent our engine bay.
593
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,000
Gotta be able to breathe.
594
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,467
All right. We got everything
trimmed out, rough cut.
595
00:31:13,467 --> 00:31:15,867
I'mma go along now
and get everything
looking nice.
596
00:31:16,266 --> 00:31:18,567
[upbeat music playing]
597
00:31:18,567 --> 00:31:21,867
Hit all the spots
where our bolts
are gonna go through.
598
00:31:23,767 --> 00:31:27,266
Got our aluminum templates
done. Now, we're making
our mesh pieces.
599
00:31:27,266 --> 00:31:30,734
So, we're just
rough cutting it first,
making it large.
600
00:31:31,767 --> 00:31:34,934
Then, we're actually
imprinting it.
Got this piece of MDF.
601
00:31:35,567 --> 00:31:38,000
I'm gonna hit that
so it sits flush
602
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,667
with the side that you see.
603
00:31:40,667 --> 00:31:42,467
Work this round
the edge, maybe?
604
00:31:42,467 --> 00:31:45,533
-Yeah, do it all the way,
so it's nice and tight.
-Okay.
605
00:31:48,467 --> 00:31:52,467
Yeah... so we're just
working the edges here,
606
00:31:52,467 --> 00:31:56,066
getting it to sit
nice and consistent
all the way around.
607
00:32:00,567 --> 00:32:04,567
Well, that worked
really good. It's nice
and flush as you can see.
608
00:32:04,567 --> 00:32:06,667
Looks really nice.
609
00:32:06,667 --> 00:32:09,066
Let's go put it on the car
and see how it looks.
610
00:32:13,567 --> 00:32:15,367
[upbeat music playing]
611
00:32:19,300 --> 00:32:22,266
The engine bay
on the '68 GTO turned out
really well.
612
00:32:22,266 --> 00:32:23,934
It's like a work of art.
613
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,266
And that's the last piece
of metal work on this.
614
00:32:29,266 --> 00:32:32,934
Now, we can tear it all apart,
weld everything up
and get it off to blast.
615
00:32:46,567 --> 00:32:49,867
[Jamie]
All right. Bring it down
just a little bit. Stop.
616
00:32:49,867 --> 00:32:52,767
We need to put
some 2x4's in right here
617
00:32:52,767 --> 00:32:55,667
and then we can
start taking the body loose.
618
00:32:55,667 --> 00:32:58,433
Once we get it back
from blast, we can take it
to the body shop.
619
00:32:59,300 --> 00:33:01,100
But meanwhile, while
we're doing all that,
620
00:33:01,100 --> 00:33:03,066
we're also gonna be
welding out our frame.
621
00:33:03,066 --> 00:33:04,667
[vocalizing]
622
00:33:06,100 --> 00:33:09,066
So, we'll send
the frame over to Max,
let him weld that out
623
00:33:09,066 --> 00:33:10,533
while we're doing this.
624
00:33:11,667 --> 00:33:14,500
[Bill] As a metal fabricator,
it's always a big day
625
00:33:14,500 --> 00:33:16,567
when you finish the metal work
on a build.
626
00:33:16,567 --> 00:33:20,500
A hand-built frame,
suspension and engine bay.
627
00:33:20,500 --> 00:33:22,166
We'll get this back
from blast.
628
00:33:22,166 --> 00:33:24,467
Now, body, paint and interior
629
00:33:24,467 --> 00:33:26,967
along with building
the rolling chassis.
630
00:33:28,266 --> 00:33:31,367
We still got a lot of work,
but it feels good
to turn this corner
631
00:33:31,367 --> 00:33:33,233
and I'm excited
for what's coming next.
632
00:33:34,166 --> 00:33:36,767
As one big build
goes off to blast,
633
00:33:36,767 --> 00:33:39,634
the '22 Bronco is almost
ready for delivery.
634
00:33:40,367 --> 00:33:42,533
Right now, Patrick's
ready to paint it.
635
00:33:42,900 --> 00:33:45,033
Medium aluminum gold.
636
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,567
So, I'm gonna go ahead
and get started
with the mix.
637
00:33:48,567 --> 00:33:51,367
This color is
a eruption green.
638
00:33:51,367 --> 00:33:54,467
Nine different toners
to make this one color.
639
00:33:54,467 --> 00:33:57,166
All right, next,
we have gold pearl.
640
00:33:57,166 --> 00:34:01,367
And right now,
I'm just mixing up enough
to do a spray out
641
00:34:01,367 --> 00:34:04,033
to check the color
before I mix the full batch.
642
00:34:05,667 --> 00:34:10,867
All these different toners
actually erupted to a pretty
good eruption green.
643
00:34:10,867 --> 00:34:13,333
So, from here,
I'mma go ahead and do
a spray out.
644
00:34:15,266 --> 00:34:18,000
Check it on the truck
and make sure
everything matches
645
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,066
and get to spraying
the other pieces.
646
00:34:20,066 --> 00:34:24,100
Well, this looks great
from here.
Checking all angles.
647
00:34:24,100 --> 00:34:27,100
Pearl is standing out
like it's supposed to.
648
00:34:27,100 --> 00:34:30,767
So, I would definitely say
that this is a perfect match.
649
00:34:32,767 --> 00:34:34,500
When you spraying
something like this,
650
00:34:34,500 --> 00:34:36,667
you basically wanna go
around the edges first,
651
00:34:36,667 --> 00:34:38,367
'cause it's a lot of cracks
and crevices.
652
00:34:38,367 --> 00:34:40,867
So, we wanna take
those spots first.
653
00:34:40,867 --> 00:34:44,634
Then we'll overlap 50-75%,
just let it tack.
654
00:34:46,767 --> 00:34:51,166
All right.
Got my first coat on.
Looks great.
655
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,166
Go ahead and give it
time to tack off.
656
00:34:54,166 --> 00:34:57,467
Get my gun reloaded.
Come back for the second coat.
657
00:35:01,767 --> 00:35:05,834
Everything look marvelous.
Move on to
the clear coat stage.
658
00:35:06,667 --> 00:35:09,800
The clear that I'm using
is a good 3-1 clear,
659
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,767
and I'm actually
over-reducing it 10%
660
00:35:12,767 --> 00:35:15,100
to get a better flow,
'cause it's so thick.
661
00:35:15,100 --> 00:35:18,300
You over-reduce it,
you have it flow out
a lot better.
662
00:35:18,300 --> 00:35:21,066
You have
a great UV protection
663
00:35:21,066 --> 00:35:24,333
and even better shine.
Real high gloss.
664
00:35:25,567 --> 00:35:27,667
First coat of clear
looks awesome.
665
00:35:27,667 --> 00:35:31,500
No runs, no trash,
everything looks perfect.
666
00:35:31,500 --> 00:35:34,767
Once this dries,
we'll go ahead and get it
on the car.
667
00:35:37,100 --> 00:35:39,066
[Bill] We have
a few last parts to install.
668
00:35:39,066 --> 00:35:43,100
That'd give this Bronco
a way cooler look,
and make it a better truck.
669
00:35:43,100 --> 00:35:46,400
-[Jamie] Pretty crazy
how light this bumper is, huh?
-Yeah, it's real light.
670
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:48,500
[Jamie]
It's gonna be a lot more
better here in just a minute.
671
00:35:48,500 --> 00:35:52,567
Just like the front bumper,
we have the rear bumper off
right here.
672
00:35:52,567 --> 00:35:56,667
It's all plastic.
Very lightweight,
not very durable.
673
00:35:56,667 --> 00:35:58,700
If you hit
something with this,
it's gonna explode.
674
00:35:58,700 --> 00:36:00,100
All right, take that off.
675
00:36:00,100 --> 00:36:01,367
So, we're gonna go ahead
and get rid of this.
676
00:36:01,367 --> 00:36:03,100
Put our new steel bumper
on there.
677
00:36:03,100 --> 00:36:07,467
Put our wire harness in.
Bolt that thing up.
678
00:36:07,467 --> 00:36:12,066
-That one is a lot heavier.
-Yeah, this is a two-people
bumper right here.
679
00:36:12,066 --> 00:36:13,166
[upbeat music playing]
680
00:36:14,266 --> 00:36:15,867
Careful, don't scratch
nothing.
681
00:36:15,867 --> 00:36:18,333
Slow. Easy.
682
00:36:19,667 --> 00:36:21,667
[Thomas]
Yeah, this is so much better
than that plastic one.
683
00:36:21,667 --> 00:36:23,266
[Jamie] Indeed. Indeed.
684
00:36:23,266 --> 00:36:25,567
So, before, we had
the stock steps.
685
00:36:25,567 --> 00:36:28,800
You know, they just weren't
the best-looking steps.
686
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,867
You could see the big gap
between. You actually see
the pinch weld right here.
687
00:36:31,867 --> 00:36:34,667
So, we're gonna
get rid of those.
Get some electronic steps
688
00:36:34,667 --> 00:36:37,567
that fold up in here,
and give it a nice contour
to the side of the truck.
689
00:36:37,567 --> 00:36:39,166
[upbeat music playing]
690
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:44,100
Okay, so this is our step.
It's got a nice,
wide platform.
691
00:36:44,100 --> 00:36:49,667
If you look at the other side,
it's got this slick,
black design.
692
00:36:49,667 --> 00:36:51,200
It's gonna hide everything.
693
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:55,000
So, once it retracts,
you're gonna just barely
see the edge of this.
694
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:55,967
It's gonna look real good.
695
00:36:57,166 --> 00:36:58,734
Almost like a rock slider.
696
00:37:01,367 --> 00:37:05,300
Okay, so now,
I got the steps in.
Now, it's time to wire 'em up.
697
00:37:05,300 --> 00:37:07,700
Each one of these mounts
have a motor on 'em.
698
00:37:07,700 --> 00:37:12,867
So, I'mma have to run power
to each one of these motors
all the way up to the front,
699
00:37:12,867 --> 00:37:17,200
plug it to the battery,
ECU, and that's it.
700
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:21,600
Everything looks good,
smooth, strong.
701
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:24,567
It's a nice step up
in there with the lift.
702
00:37:24,567 --> 00:37:27,800
This is definitely
the upgraded step
that we wanna use right here.
703
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:29,367
[upbeat music playing]
704
00:37:31,500 --> 00:37:34,233
Think I'm gonna,
get my rubber mallet
and tap it on this side.
705
00:37:36,166 --> 00:37:37,634
Just a few more parts left.
706
00:37:38,266 --> 00:37:39,367
New exhaust...
707
00:37:40,700 --> 00:37:42,166
new wheels and tires...
708
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:44,467
That's gonna look real good.
709
00:37:44,467 --> 00:37:46,867
-Tail lights...
-[Jamie]
Way doper than stock ones.
710
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,734
And this thing's ready
for whatever they want
to throw at it.
711
00:37:55,467 --> 00:37:57,300
[Thomas]
I've been here at Ekstensive
about four months
712
00:37:57,300 --> 00:37:58,767
and I'm loving it so far,
you know,
713
00:37:58,767 --> 00:38:00,266
getting to work
with all the guys,
714
00:38:00,266 --> 00:38:02,400
and learning a bunch
and just having a good time.
715
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,100
My junior year of high school,
I dropped out
to come work here
716
00:38:05,100 --> 00:38:06,967
and then worked on my GED
and got that.
717
00:38:06,967 --> 00:38:09,166
So, I know
leaving school early
isn't for everybody,
718
00:38:09,166 --> 00:38:11,000
but I think, for me,
it was the right move
719
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:12,900
and now I'm here
building a career
720
00:38:12,900 --> 00:38:15,467
and I'm gonna get to do
what I love
for the rest of my life.
721
00:38:15,467 --> 00:38:19,500
I've known about Ekstensive
for some time and working
with Mr. Bill is awesome.
722
00:38:19,500 --> 00:38:21,767
You get to learn a lot.
He knows so much,
723
00:38:21,767 --> 00:38:23,667
'cause he's been doing it
his whole life
724
00:38:23,667 --> 00:38:25,767
and he's willing to teach you,
which is cool,
so he'll show you
725
00:38:25,767 --> 00:38:27,100
how to do it the right way
726
00:38:27,100 --> 00:38:29,333
so you don't mess it up
and have to redo it
and redo it.
727
00:38:30,467 --> 00:38:31,767
This is always what I've done.
728
00:38:31,767 --> 00:38:33,967
Since I was a little kid,
I've always been working
around cars
729
00:38:33,967 --> 00:38:36,700
and building stuff
and just making stuff
out of your hands,
730
00:38:36,700 --> 00:38:40,467
you know, turning something,
like, old and rusty into
something shiny and brand new,
731
00:38:40,467 --> 00:38:41,900
and it feels good.
732
00:38:41,900 --> 00:38:43,767
The secret to being successful
here at Ekstensive
733
00:38:43,767 --> 00:38:45,767
is you gotta do
the dirty jobs first
734
00:38:45,767 --> 00:38:47,967
and then you gotta
work your way up.
735
00:38:47,967 --> 00:38:50,000
So, all in all, I'm gonna
keep showing up early
736
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,734
and working hard at
the dirty jobs until I get
to where I wanna be.
737
00:38:56,367 --> 00:38:58,333
[upbeat music playing]
738
00:39:03,300 --> 00:39:05,767
You know,
one of my favorite things
is surprises.
739
00:39:05,767 --> 00:39:08,533
And today, Ryan's gonna
surprise his wife
with the Bronco we built.
740
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:11,767
-What's happening?
-Morning.
741
00:39:11,767 --> 00:39:13,667
-Good to see you.
-Morning. Shannon.
Nice to meet you.
742
00:39:13,667 --> 00:39:14,700
Nice to meet you.
743
00:39:14,700 --> 00:39:16,100
You been missing
a Bronco lately?
744
00:39:16,100 --> 00:39:17,967
I've been missing it
a lot, yes.
745
00:39:17,967 --> 00:39:21,700
Your husband wanted
to surprise you a little bit
with a few little upgrades.
746
00:39:21,700 --> 00:39:24,500
That's awfully brave of you.
What did you guys do?
747
00:39:24,500 --> 00:39:26,600
-So, you've been dodging
some questions?
-Oh, yeah.
748
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:28,166
-Oh, yeah. Yes, sir.
-[all laughing]
749
00:39:28,166 --> 00:39:30,000
Yeah, we done
a couple things
to your Bronco.
750
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:33,567
He said just open checkbook.
No matter what the cost,
make my wife happy.
751
00:39:33,567 --> 00:39:35,266
-Oh, did he say that?
-No, I didn't.
752
00:39:35,266 --> 00:39:36,900
No, he didn't. [laughs]
753
00:39:36,900 --> 00:39:39,367
Look, man, I wanna live
to see the Bronco, okay?
754
00:39:39,367 --> 00:39:40,700
-You wanna check it out?
-Yes, sir.
755
00:39:40,700 --> 00:39:42,100
Come on.
756
00:39:42,100 --> 00:39:44,767
You know, it's always tough
when you're doing a surprise
for someone
757
00:39:44,767 --> 00:39:46,667
and you don't have
that direct contact.
758
00:39:46,667 --> 00:39:50,266
You're just using your
best judgment. If you're
making the right decisions,
759
00:39:50,266 --> 00:39:52,900
if you're using the right
combo here and there,
760
00:39:52,900 --> 00:39:55,767
So, we're about to see
how good all this
comes together.
761
00:39:56,700 --> 00:39:59,166
Oh, God, look at that. Look!
762
00:39:59,166 --> 00:40:02,400
-Look at that.
-Oh, my gosh! Is that even
the same car?
763
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:05,700
-[Shannon] She's beautiful.
-[Ryan] Above and beyond
what I imagined.
764
00:40:05,700 --> 00:40:08,166
-You did so much to it.
-[Shannon] It looks amazing.
765
00:40:08,166 --> 00:40:09,467
-[Ryan] Man!
-[Shannon] What did you do?
766
00:40:09,467 --> 00:40:13,500
-Look at that. Oh, my...
Oh, I'm sorry!
-Look at all the lights!
767
00:40:13,500 --> 00:40:15,867
-Look at all the lights.
That's awesome!
-[Ryan] I know. Look at it!
768
00:40:15,867 --> 00:40:17,266
[Shannon] Are those new tires?
769
00:40:17,266 --> 00:40:19,700
[Bill]
Yeah, we totally went through
pretty much the whole truck.
770
00:40:19,700 --> 00:40:23,266
I mean, one of the most
important things is the car
when it's coming at you.
771
00:40:23,266 --> 00:40:24,800
So, we had to change
the front bumper.
772
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,000
Way more aggressive when
it's coming down the road
at you.
773
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:28,233
Oh, yeah.
774
00:40:28,233 --> 00:40:30,800
I love how it's all black
and it definitely makes
a statement
775
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:31,900
when it's behind you.
776
00:40:31,900 --> 00:40:33,667
-People are gonna get
out your way now.
-Oh, yeah.
777
00:40:33,667 --> 00:40:35,066
They're gonna let me over.
778
00:40:36,567 --> 00:40:39,567
[Bill] If we add bumpers,
you gotta add lighting
into it, right?
779
00:40:39,567 --> 00:40:41,600
-[Shannon] Well, yeah.
-And not just in the bumper.
780
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:42,967
We had to change
the headlights.
781
00:40:42,967 --> 00:40:44,266
[Shannon] I've never seen
anything like that.
782
00:40:44,266 --> 00:40:46,000
That's definitely
not the only lighting.
783
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:49,266
-No, I see some more.
-[Bill] So, we got some rigid
lights up on the cowl
784
00:40:49,266 --> 00:40:52,400
that you can manipulate
to shine wherever you want.
785
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:54,166
We also have some
mirror lights, too.
786
00:40:54,166 --> 00:40:56,367
-[Ryan] Those are awesome.
Color matched.
-[Bill] Yeah.
787
00:40:56,367 --> 00:41:00,200
I really love that light bar
because I didn't think
we could have one.
788
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:03,200
[Bill] I know you had
that height restriction
in the garage, right?
789
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:05,567
So, we found this one.
It fits this truck perfectly.
790
00:41:05,567 --> 00:41:08,367
Oh, yeah
I can't wait to light it up.
791
00:41:08,367 --> 00:41:11,967
Also, one of the things
we had to do
is change that stances.
792
00:41:11,967 --> 00:41:14,300
We had to add that
three-inch BDS kit,
793
00:41:14,300 --> 00:41:16,600
-you know with the coil overs
and fox shocks.
-[Ryan] Ooh.
794
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:18,367
You're getting good,
comfortable rides,
795
00:41:18,367 --> 00:41:20,900
-and it's off-road capable,
for sure.
-[Shannon] That's cool.
796
00:41:20,900 --> 00:41:22,567
-She's mean.
-Yeah.
797
00:41:22,567 --> 00:41:25,266
And it's a lot taller.
I hope I'm gonna be
able to get into it.
798
00:41:25,266 --> 00:41:27,533
-Well, we got you
hooked up on that.
-All right.
799
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:31,300
-Oh, man, that's smooth.
-Yeah.
800
00:41:31,300 --> 00:41:32,500
That's awesome.
801
00:41:32,500 --> 00:41:34,300
Right, so you can still
get in there,
no problem at all.
802
00:41:34,300 --> 00:41:35,367
It looks like it.
803
00:41:35,367 --> 00:41:37,000
[Bill] You know, when
the truck first came in,
804
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:38,767
it had that gap
in-between the step
805
00:41:38,767 --> 00:41:40,100
-and the locker itself.
-[Shannon] With the holes?
Yeah.
806
00:41:40,100 --> 00:41:43,867
So, we had
to just replace that,
put retractable steps on it.
807
00:41:43,867 --> 00:41:46,467
So, you don't have
any problem now
with that extra height,
808
00:41:46,467 --> 00:41:49,367
-getting in and out.
-Those steps are amazing.
That's smooth.
809
00:41:49,367 --> 00:41:51,700
-If you like that,
come check the back out.
-All right.
810
00:41:51,700 --> 00:41:54,166
Hey, look at the back
of this thing. It looks
completely different.
811
00:41:54,166 --> 00:41:57,100
Yeah, well that's the point.
You didn't want to be
like everybody else, right?
812
00:41:57,100 --> 00:41:58,467
[Ryan]
Haven't seen anything
like this, man.
813
00:41:58,467 --> 00:41:59,934
[Bill] Can't just change
the front bumper,
814
00:41:59,934 --> 00:42:03,166
so we had to change
the back also. We had to make
it look a lot cooler.
815
00:42:03,166 --> 00:42:05,166
-[Shannon] It looks
just as mean as the front.
-Yeah.
816
00:42:05,166 --> 00:42:07,300
Yeah, we changed out
the tail lights, also.
817
00:42:07,300 --> 00:42:09,467
You know, gave it
a little more aggressive look.
818
00:42:09,467 --> 00:42:11,567
[Ryan] Those
smoke-colored lights
are gorgeous.
819
00:42:11,567 --> 00:42:13,100
Nobody's gonna have
those tail lights.
820
00:42:13,100 --> 00:42:17,266
You know, the biggest change
on the whole truck, I think,
is the roof color
821
00:42:17,266 --> 00:42:18,667
-and the fender flares, right?
-[Shannon] Oh, yeah.
822
00:42:18,667 --> 00:42:20,367
[Bill] Smoothened out
all that texture,
823
00:42:20,367 --> 00:42:22,266
-painting that
eruption green...
-[Ryan] Oh, yeah.
824
00:42:22,266 --> 00:42:24,300
[Bill] Not only looks custom,
it looks classy.
825
00:42:24,300 --> 00:42:26,166
It really sets it apart
from everybody else.
826
00:42:26,166 --> 00:42:27,567
Bill and the team did awesome.
827
00:42:27,567 --> 00:42:31,266
I wasn't expecting anything
but I certainly wasn't
expecting that.
828
00:42:31,266 --> 00:42:34,700
She's beautiful
and she's a beast
and I'm really excited.
829
00:42:34,700 --> 00:42:38,567
You know, some guys
come in, say, "This car
truck's for the wife."
830
00:42:38,567 --> 00:42:40,000
But we know
it's really for them.
831
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:41,467
Oh, he's never
gonna drive it again.
832
00:42:41,467 --> 00:42:42,700
-Exactly.
-Yeah.
833
00:42:42,700 --> 00:42:44,367
-You can tell this is
your truck.
-It is. It's my baby.
834
00:42:44,367 --> 00:42:46,000
And he did this
especially for you.
835
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:49,467
I know how much
you love the Bronco,
and I just wanted to do
836
00:42:49,467 --> 00:42:53,200
something to keep
that love going forever,
837
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:54,200
just like our love.
838
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:55,567
[Shannon chuckles]
839
00:42:55,567 --> 00:42:58,266
Bill, thanks for coming
through and helping me
give the best gift
840
00:42:58,266 --> 00:42:59,367
I could ever give to my wife.
841
00:42:59,367 --> 00:43:01,400
I know that she loves it
and I thank you for that.
842
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:02,700
Man, you did good.
843
00:43:02,700 --> 00:43:05,266
[Ryan]
No, man, I appreciate it
but all credits to you guys.
844
00:43:05,266 --> 00:43:07,900
You know, Ekstensive
definitely ain't
a one-man show.
845
00:43:07,900 --> 00:43:11,567
I'd just like to thank
all the guys at the shop
for once again
846
00:43:11,567 --> 00:43:12,867
coming through
for me.
847
00:43:12,867 --> 00:43:15,600
Well, I hope you guys
really do enjoy this
848
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:18,500
and, you know, no more
issues now when you're
driving down the road
849
00:43:18,500 --> 00:43:20,767
-seeing another one
like yours.
-They'll be green with envy.
850
00:43:20,767 --> 00:43:22,367
[Bill] That's it, for sure.
851
00:43:22,367 --> 00:43:25,066
-Thank you so much.
-Thank you.
Appreciate it.
852
00:43:25,066 --> 00:43:26,367
-Have fun. See y'all later.
-Thank you.
853
00:43:26,367 --> 00:43:28,867
I love it.
You did good, thank you.
854
00:43:28,867 --> 00:43:30,900
-[Ryan] I love you, babe.
-[Shannon chuckles]
