1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:02,500
[Stephanie] This is
my dad's 1949 Ford.
2
00:00:02,500 --> 00:00:04,800
-[Bill] Does he know
the truck's here?
-He does not.
3
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:06,734
-Oh, it's a total
surprise, huh?
-Total surprise.
4
00:00:09,367 --> 00:00:11,100
It's cool to think
this '49 Ford
5
00:00:11,100 --> 00:00:13,000
is a gift for dad
from his daughter.
6
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:14,867
[Ryan] Once we get
sheet metal on this,
7
00:00:14,867 --> 00:00:17,867
this will all tie in.
It'll look real clean.
8
00:00:17,867 --> 00:00:20,000
[John] We're going with
aluminum and walnut.
9
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:21,000
[Dustin] This will make it
so that
10
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,200
the bed will articulate
up and down.
11
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:24,500
These are the candy colors,
right?
12
00:00:24,500 --> 00:00:27,000
-[Jose] Really gonna make
that truck pop.
-[Dustin] Mirror finish.
13
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,000
[Bill] The new Coyote engine
is gonna give this truck
14
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:30,467
a lot more power.
15
00:00:30,467 --> 00:00:32,200
[Dustin] It's gonna start.
Right, Matt?
16
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:33,200
[engine sputters]
17
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,533
-[all cheer]
-Oh, my God.
18
00:00:39,100 --> 00:00:40,867
[Bill] I'm Bill Carlton.
19
00:00:40,867 --> 00:00:43,166
I built my first truck
when I was 16.
20
00:00:43,900 --> 00:00:45,867
And ever since, me and my guys
21
00:00:45,867 --> 00:00:48,066
have been out here
creating with our hands.
22
00:00:50,266 --> 00:00:52,600
Building the biggest, lowest,
23
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,967
baddest custom trucks
and cars in the game.
24
00:00:56,867 --> 00:00:59,367
People don't come here
for what they need.
25
00:00:59,367 --> 00:01:01,734
They come here
for what they want.
26
00:01:03,266 --> 00:01:06,266
This is Texas Metal.
27
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:12,567
Well, I know you're here
to get an update on something,
28
00:01:12,567 --> 00:01:15,200
but finally all that chrome
showed up.
29
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,000
-Man, it's about time, right?
-[laughs] Yeah.
30
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,900
That's definitely
a slow process.
31
00:01:18,900 --> 00:01:20,767
You can't get that fast.
32
00:01:20,767 --> 00:01:22,300
[Carlos] Yeah,
you can never rush that,
33
00:01:22,300 --> 00:01:23,867
but probably it's on its way.
34
00:01:23,867 --> 00:01:25,166
And I mean,
that's a good thing.
35
00:01:25,166 --> 00:01:26,467
Another good thing is
36
00:01:26,467 --> 00:01:28,567
I've been here
almost about two years now.
37
00:01:28,567 --> 00:01:29,900
-Already?
-[laughs] Yeah.
38
00:01:29,900 --> 00:01:31,967
-That's what I said.
-Man.
39
00:01:31,967 --> 00:01:34,567
-It felt like
we just started here.
-[laughs] Yeah.
40
00:01:34,567 --> 00:01:36,266
What a wild ride it's been.
41
00:01:36,266 --> 00:01:37,100
Two years, man.
42
00:01:37,100 --> 00:01:38,467
What's been
your favorite build so far?
43
00:01:38,467 --> 00:01:40,467
Man. There's been a couple.
44
00:01:40,467 --> 00:01:41,867
The tanker truck
we did last year,
45
00:01:41,867 --> 00:01:43,066
that was pretty awesome.
46
00:01:43,066 --> 00:01:46,400
That was the first one I got
thrown at the wolves with.
47
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,667
And seeing that thing as big
as it was coming in here.
48
00:01:49,667 --> 00:01:52,500
You guys doing that
air ride suspension on it.
49
00:01:52,500 --> 00:01:54,767
Just really taking that truck
over the top.
50
00:01:54,767 --> 00:01:57,266
But since then,
there have been
so many different builds.
51
00:01:57,266 --> 00:01:59,166
You know, I guess
sitting here right now
52
00:01:59,166 --> 00:02:02,166
that I really like
that '53 tow truck.
53
00:02:02,166 --> 00:02:03,567
-You know, that thing--
-Yeah.
54
00:02:03,567 --> 00:02:04,600
When that thing came in,
55
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,667
I didn't know whether to get
you guys tetanus shots
56
00:02:06,667 --> 00:02:08,166
or a new truck.
57
00:02:08,166 --> 00:02:11,667
I mean, but then what you guys
did to that bed, that frame,
58
00:02:11,667 --> 00:02:13,100
I've never seen
anything like that.
59
00:02:13,100 --> 00:02:14,400
You had any easy ones?
60
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:15,867
I haven't had any easy ones.
61
00:02:15,867 --> 00:02:17,266
I don't think
I ever had either.
62
00:02:17,266 --> 00:02:19,266
Speaking of
the latest challenge,
63
00:02:19,266 --> 00:02:20,867
you know, the '49 Ford.
64
00:02:21,867 --> 00:02:23,000
Huge project.
65
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,667
That's one of those projects
that I was kind of,
66
00:02:24,667 --> 00:02:27,200
if you have taken it in or not
when it came in,
67
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:31,467
as bad shape as it was sitting
on the trailer out there.
68
00:02:31,467 --> 00:02:33,967
But getting it into the shop
and getting it all tore apart.
69
00:02:33,967 --> 00:02:35,667
Getting it blasted,
getting it back,
70
00:02:35,667 --> 00:02:37,500
which is always
kind of nervous.
71
00:02:37,500 --> 00:02:39,000
You don't know what
you're going to end up with.
72
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,700
[Bill] Yeah, man. But it was
in fairly decent shape.
73
00:02:41,700 --> 00:02:44,500
From that,
building a new custom chassis,
74
00:02:44,500 --> 00:02:47,400
brand new suspension,
and incorporated that
75
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,266
independent rear suspension
in with it.
76
00:02:49,266 --> 00:02:50,600
You know, first for us.
77
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,667
That engine with that
rear suspension, man, it's...
78
00:02:52,667 --> 00:02:53,800
Mmm-hmm.
79
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:55,200
[Bill] Putting that
Coyote in it.
80
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,667
Engine trans, you know,
it's going to be a good,
81
00:02:57,667 --> 00:02:59,467
good running truck too, man.
82
00:02:59,467 --> 00:03:02,400
You know,
it's been a long project.
83
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:03,567
[Carlos] Oh, I know. Yeah.
84
00:03:03,567 --> 00:03:05,367
But, you know,
we're at home stretch now.
85
00:03:05,367 --> 00:03:07,867
Building the bed floor,
still have to do that.
86
00:03:07,867 --> 00:03:10,667
Build running boards,
paint and body.
87
00:03:10,667 --> 00:03:13,467
On this one, it's going to be
a candy paint. Has to be.
88
00:03:13,467 --> 00:03:14,467
Gonna make it stand out.
89
00:03:14,467 --> 00:03:15,900
Definitely, man.
90
00:03:15,900 --> 00:03:18,266
And then once that's all done,
you know,
91
00:03:18,266 --> 00:03:19,867
of course John's got
to do his thing.
92
00:03:19,867 --> 00:03:23,867
That candy paint, chrome,
John's interior.
93
00:03:23,867 --> 00:03:26,266
This might just be
my favorite build though.
94
00:03:26,266 --> 00:03:28,200
It's going to be
a beautiful truck.
95
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,266
I'll tell you what, one of the
last things we need is wheels.
96
00:03:31,266 --> 00:03:32,867
And there's going to be
a whole lot
97
00:03:32,867 --> 00:03:34,867
of other stuff too, man.
So get ready.
98
00:03:34,867 --> 00:03:36,367
Yeah, well whatever it's going
to take to get this
99
00:03:36,367 --> 00:03:37,266
through the finish line, man,
100
00:03:37,266 --> 00:03:38,767
whatever parts,
you know, all that.
101
00:03:38,767 --> 00:03:40,266
And don't make us wait
on you again.
102
00:03:41,266 --> 00:03:42,634
[laughs]
103
00:03:49,166 --> 00:03:51,500
We've done a ton of metal work
to this truck already,
104
00:03:51,500 --> 00:03:53,500
but we still have
a few more custom pieces left.
105
00:03:53,500 --> 00:03:55,767
One of those
is a custom running board
106
00:03:55,767 --> 00:03:58,266
that would just go with
the overall look of the truck.
107
00:03:58,266 --> 00:04:01,033
And Ryan and Dustin are
finishing that up right now.
108
00:04:01,767 --> 00:04:04,066
So we got
our running board this far,
109
00:04:04,066 --> 00:04:06,300
and now we got
a real good idea
110
00:04:06,300 --> 00:04:07,667
of what it's going
to look like
111
00:04:07,667 --> 00:04:09,166
and the route we want to go.
112
00:04:09,166 --> 00:04:12,767
You know, we had this going
and it just wasn't enough.
113
00:04:12,767 --> 00:04:14,467
So then we brought
this little piece in,
114
00:04:14,467 --> 00:04:16,600
gave it a little bit of flow,
you know,
115
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,367
to go into the outside
of the fenders like we want.
116
00:04:19,367 --> 00:04:22,467
Once we get sheet metal
on this, this will all tie in.
117
00:04:22,467 --> 00:04:24,066
It'll look real good,
real clean.
118
00:04:24,066 --> 00:04:25,767
But we got this this far.
119
00:04:25,767 --> 00:04:27,400
Now we need to catch
the other side up,
120
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:28,900
make it look
exactly like this,
121
00:04:28,900 --> 00:04:30,800
make sure
everything is perfect.
122
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,834
And then we can start doing
our sheet metal work on top.
123
00:04:33,667 --> 00:04:35,767
Roll this bad boy here.
124
00:04:38,100 --> 00:04:42,600
I need some type of reference
that I can measure off of
125
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,467
that side and the same
on this side,
126
00:04:44,467 --> 00:04:46,867
so I can make sure
that these are landing
127
00:04:46,867 --> 00:04:48,600
exactly where they need to be.
128
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,767
You don't want
that one to be out
129
00:04:50,767 --> 00:04:53,166
an inch further than this one.
130
00:04:53,166 --> 00:04:55,266
You're only as good as
the worst thing you've done.
131
00:04:56,266 --> 00:04:57,900
Normally when
we bend anything,
132
00:04:57,900 --> 00:05:01,567
we got tubing benders that
do all that good stuff for us.
133
00:05:01,567 --> 00:05:03,567
But when you bend
squared tubing,
134
00:05:03,567 --> 00:05:05,367
it likes to kink
the top of it.
135
00:05:05,367 --> 00:05:08,066
It always leaves
like a little kink,
like a little pinch.
136
00:05:08,066 --> 00:05:10,667
And you got
to spend all the time,
137
00:05:10,667 --> 00:05:13,166
either grinding it,
and then it gets paper thin,
138
00:05:13,166 --> 00:05:15,467
and it just turns into
a headache, it's a nightmare.
139
00:05:15,467 --> 00:05:17,667
So the best way
to go about doing this is
140
00:05:17,667 --> 00:05:21,800
to put the bend that we want
in this, is to pie cut it.
141
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,000
So we're just going to cut
some slits in here.
142
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,567
It's not going to take a lot,
143
00:05:25,567 --> 00:05:27,200
and it'll give
the perfect curvature
144
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:28,834
to the side of the cab
right there.
145
00:05:36,467 --> 00:05:39,734
All righty, make a little
filler piece for that.
146
00:05:45,567 --> 00:05:49,467
Instead of bending this,
and rolling this this way,
147
00:05:49,467 --> 00:05:50,567
and then having
to roll it back,
148
00:05:50,567 --> 00:05:52,000
it would have been
really, really hard
149
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,367
doing it to that piece.
150
00:05:53,367 --> 00:05:54,500
Our sheet metal will go
all the way to here,
151
00:05:54,500 --> 00:05:56,200
you know what I mean?
It'll all be one piece
sheet metal.
152
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,867
So you'll never know
that this was added on.
153
00:05:58,867 --> 00:06:00,066
It's just to give
a little bit of character,
154
00:06:00,066 --> 00:06:01,800
a little bit more flow
into the running board.
155
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,400
And so once
we cut all this off,
156
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,800
behind here, that will bolt
to the fender,
157
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,100
and this will all be part
of the running board here.
158
00:06:09,100 --> 00:06:11,467
This will be gone.
All of that is gone.
159
00:06:13,567 --> 00:06:15,266
[Dustin] Ryan and I got
our running board frames
160
00:06:15,266 --> 00:06:16,967
established on the '49.
161
00:06:16,967 --> 00:06:19,066
Now we're going to go ahead
and go off sheet metal here.
162
00:06:19,066 --> 00:06:20,867
We're going to take
our sheets here,
163
00:06:20,867 --> 00:06:23,166
take them over to the brake,
get them broke,
164
00:06:23,166 --> 00:06:24,066
take them to the truck,
165
00:06:24,066 --> 00:06:25,767
and then get them
trimmed to fit
166
00:06:25,767 --> 00:06:27,934
our frame
perfect for a nice reveal.
167
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,367
We'll go test it on the truck.
168
00:06:37,367 --> 00:06:40,867
I'm sure that'll be some minor
finish trimming and buffing,
169
00:06:40,867 --> 00:06:42,433
and then we'll be good to go.
170
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,166
Now the sheet metal piece
that we've made and cut
171
00:06:47,166 --> 00:06:48,900
and everything fits
perfect in here,
172
00:06:48,900 --> 00:06:49,867
everything lines up.
173
00:06:49,867 --> 00:06:51,967
We got it tacked
to the bottom of the bed,
174
00:06:51,967 --> 00:06:54,700
and now it's time
to start tacking it in.
175
00:06:54,700 --> 00:06:56,266
We'll tack it
to the inch and a half.
176
00:06:56,266 --> 00:06:57,900
There's also going to be
a void here
177
00:06:57,900 --> 00:06:59,600
once all this is cut out,
178
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,300
you'll be able to see daylight
right through there.
179
00:07:01,300 --> 00:07:05,133
So we got to figure out a way
to make all that look good.
180
00:07:06,867 --> 00:07:07,867
Once we got it good and tacked
181
00:07:07,867 --> 00:07:09,266
and everything,
we can pull it out,
182
00:07:09,266 --> 00:07:12,467
cut all this excess off,
and put it in there
183
00:07:12,467 --> 00:07:13,533
and see what you got.
184
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,200
Right now I'm making
some filler pieces
185
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,367
for the front fenders
that'll weld in,
186
00:07:21,367 --> 00:07:24,333
and then we won't have a gap.
Voila, it'll look real nice.
187
00:07:32,066 --> 00:07:33,500
[Ryan] All right, so now
Dustin and I have got
188
00:07:33,500 --> 00:07:36,166
the last pieces on
for the running boards.
189
00:07:36,166 --> 00:07:37,300
One step closer to having
190
00:07:37,300 --> 00:07:39,066
all the fab work done
on the truck too,
191
00:07:39,066 --> 00:07:42,200
so now we'll get on
to the next step,
192
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,000
which is...
I don't know yet, but...
193
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,533
-[Dustin] The next one.
-We're gonna... Yeah.
194
00:07:50,667 --> 00:07:52,600
[Bill] I want to show off
all the custom metal work
195
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:53,767
on the '49 Ford.
196
00:07:53,767 --> 00:07:55,300
So we're going to make
a bed floor
197
00:07:55,300 --> 00:07:56,634
that will actuate up.
198
00:08:05,767 --> 00:08:10,767
So we got our stock for the
bed floor of the '49 Ford.
199
00:08:10,767 --> 00:08:12,367
Now that Bill's got
everything laid out,
200
00:08:12,367 --> 00:08:14,800
and kind of has his idea going
on what we're going to do.
201
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:16,767
We now know how wide
each board needs to be.
202
00:08:16,767 --> 00:08:19,266
So to keep it safe
and keep everything uniform,
203
00:08:19,266 --> 00:08:21,066
I've got some
finger boards set up.
204
00:08:21,066 --> 00:08:22,667
I'll do some stop blocks
on the top
205
00:08:22,667 --> 00:08:24,567
so everything stays
where it needs to be.
206
00:08:24,567 --> 00:08:25,567
And from that point,
207
00:08:25,567 --> 00:08:27,567
it's just a matter
of feeding it through,
208
00:08:27,567 --> 00:08:28,500
getting it all cut.
209
00:08:28,500 --> 00:08:29,867
We'll get back
over to the truck
210
00:08:29,867 --> 00:08:31,233
and make sure it all works.
211
00:08:41,266 --> 00:08:42,667
We're going with
aluminum and walnut
212
00:08:42,667 --> 00:08:43,867
to get it form and function,
213
00:08:43,867 --> 00:08:45,400
just like we like it
around here.
214
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,100
The aluminum is a great idea
215
00:08:47,100 --> 00:08:49,000
because it's lightweight
and low maintenance,
216
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,367
but it also gives a great look
breaking up the walnut.
217
00:08:52,367 --> 00:08:53,467
And once Lewis stains it,
218
00:08:53,467 --> 00:08:56,000
it's going to look
really, really good.
219
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,300
All these aluminum channels
and the woodwork,
220
00:08:59,300 --> 00:09:02,667
we're going to bolt all that
together to make the bed.
221
00:09:02,667 --> 00:09:04,500
So I'm going
to set this up here,
222
00:09:04,500 --> 00:09:07,000
clamp it down a little bit
so it doesn't move.
223
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,100
And then I'm going
to mark in between
224
00:09:09,100 --> 00:09:10,800
so I know
where I'm going to cut.
225
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,400
I'm actually
an upholstery man,
but I own a machine shop.
226
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:18,967
I do little parts on the side.
So I do this for Bill.
227
00:09:18,967 --> 00:09:21,100
I've known him
since he was like a kid.
228
00:09:21,100 --> 00:09:23,000
He came over
to my shop one day
229
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,367
and I was building my shop.
230
00:09:25,367 --> 00:09:27,166
And he says, "I can do this."
231
00:09:27,166 --> 00:09:28,467
And I said, "Sure you can."
232
00:09:28,467 --> 00:09:29,867
'Cause you know, he welded.
233
00:09:29,867 --> 00:09:31,166
Boy, he never stopped.
234
00:09:31,166 --> 00:09:33,166
He just kept growing
and growing.
235
00:09:35,867 --> 00:09:37,600
Okay, I got these pieces
marked out.
236
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:38,867
I'm going to head out
and get them cut
237
00:09:38,867 --> 00:09:40,734
so we can get
this bed put together.
238
00:09:51,500 --> 00:09:53,667
All right, we're here
at the machine shop
239
00:09:53,667 --> 00:09:58,467
and I'm fixing to cut
these channels in here.
240
00:09:58,467 --> 00:10:01,967
I'm going to move the table up
until we touch the tool.
241
00:10:01,967 --> 00:10:03,967
I'm only doing it by eye.
242
00:10:05,266 --> 00:10:07,266
We have to cut it out
a little bit at a time.
243
00:10:07,266 --> 00:10:09,200
You can't hog
this material out.
244
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:10,834
You have to cut it out.
245
00:10:14,567 --> 00:10:16,266
I always have eye protection.
246
00:10:28,667 --> 00:10:30,967
You know,
when the '49 Ford came in,
247
00:10:30,967 --> 00:10:32,467
you know,
that's one of those projects
248
00:10:32,467 --> 00:10:34,767
you really just shake
your head going,
249
00:10:34,767 --> 00:10:36,166
"Oh, my God,
250
00:10:36,166 --> 00:10:40,800
what am I getting myself into?
251
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,367
A lot of the times
when projects look
way too far gone,
252
00:10:44,367 --> 00:10:46,467
that just opens up
more possibilities
253
00:10:46,467 --> 00:10:49,400
for building more custom
into the project.
254
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:53,166
Pretty much, I just need
the basics to start with,
255
00:10:53,166 --> 00:10:55,467
like a decent cab.
256
00:10:55,467 --> 00:10:58,166
When the frame's
a little tweaked, hey,
257
00:10:58,166 --> 00:11:00,567
even more reason to build
a brand new one.
258
00:11:00,567 --> 00:11:03,667
When suspension
rides like crap,
259
00:11:03,667 --> 00:11:06,100
we're going
to tear it out anyway.
260
00:11:06,100 --> 00:11:08,967
It is endless, it's whatever
your brain can think of,
261
00:11:08,967 --> 00:11:10,500
whatever your skill set is,
262
00:11:10,500 --> 00:11:13,667
you can build that
into a custom car.
263
00:11:13,667 --> 00:11:17,166
A lot of people
start with a drawing,
264
00:11:17,166 --> 00:11:18,500
"I'm going to build this."
265
00:11:18,500 --> 00:11:21,667
Well, in my case,
how I like to do it is just
266
00:11:21,667 --> 00:11:23,467
getting a feel for the project
267
00:11:23,467 --> 00:11:27,767
and just building on ideas
as you go.
268
00:11:27,767 --> 00:11:32,166
I think in the end,
you create a way more special,
269
00:11:32,166 --> 00:11:36,834
a way more unique vehicle
if you build it along the way.
270
00:11:39,667 --> 00:11:42,367
A good example of that
is the bed for the '49 Ford
271
00:11:42,367 --> 00:11:45,266
that we completely hand built
one piece at a time.
272
00:11:45,266 --> 00:11:46,066
And after a lot of work,
273
00:11:46,066 --> 00:11:48,567
John's finishing the floor
right now.
274
00:11:48,567 --> 00:11:50,467
You know, it's been a lot
of pieces to get here.
275
00:11:50,467 --> 00:11:52,100
We've got the aluminum slats
276
00:11:52,100 --> 00:11:53,667
that Joe made
in the machine shop.
277
00:11:53,667 --> 00:11:55,600
I've done all the math,
got everything figured out,
278
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,700
got the wood pieces cut,
everything fits in perfectly.
279
00:11:58,700 --> 00:12:01,400
So now the next step
is to take and actually attach
280
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,100
the wood to the aluminum.
281
00:12:03,100 --> 00:12:04,266
We'll put them back in the jig
282
00:12:04,266 --> 00:12:07,033
and work out getting
these things bolted together.
283
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,934
Oh, Cleve, you got
three big bones now.
284
00:12:12,900 --> 00:12:15,000
You won't be able to see
any of the fasteners.
285
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,367
They're all going
to be hidden,
286
00:12:16,367 --> 00:12:17,800
bolted together
from the inside.
287
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:19,800
You know, it's going to be
a really nice look
288
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:21,767
and really clean on the truck.
289
00:12:23,066 --> 00:12:25,066
So the key to this is going
to be keeping the wood
290
00:12:25,066 --> 00:12:27,266
nice and flush
with the aluminum.
291
00:12:27,266 --> 00:12:29,934
Got my countersink in there
so I can hide the hardware.
292
00:12:31,867 --> 00:12:34,367
Once I get one piece attached
to the aluminum,
293
00:12:34,367 --> 00:12:36,367
I'll get another piece
and just repeat the process
294
00:12:36,367 --> 00:12:37,734
seven more times.
295
00:12:47,367 --> 00:12:49,266
So the next step is to drill
a hole in the middle
296
00:12:49,266 --> 00:12:50,867
through every one
of these pieces
297
00:12:50,867 --> 00:12:54,266
and make them all line up
in the same place.
298
00:12:54,266 --> 00:12:56,400
What I'm going to have to do
is I'm going to set up a jig
299
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,266
and the drill press
to work from the end
300
00:12:59,266 --> 00:13:01,100
that I've already cut off
to measure it out,
301
00:13:01,100 --> 00:13:02,967
put the hole in the middle
302
00:13:02,967 --> 00:13:05,433
and it'll be in the same place
on each one of them.
303
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:13,767
So I got all the middle holes
drilled out.
304
00:13:13,767 --> 00:13:15,867
Everything's going to line up.
So the next step,
305
00:13:15,867 --> 00:13:17,800
lay it here on the table,
get it squared up
306
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,033
and see if we can get
our rod through it.
307
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:24,467
This rod is going
to help sandwich
308
00:13:24,467 --> 00:13:25,834
the center of it together.
309
00:13:27,700 --> 00:13:28,600
Come on.
310
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,266
[grunting] Almost there.
311
00:13:30,266 --> 00:13:31,767
Go to your hole.
312
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:33,934
Nice.
313
00:13:36,767 --> 00:13:37,900
I'm going to set up
some clamps,
314
00:13:37,900 --> 00:13:39,967
start pulling
all this nice and tight,
315
00:13:39,967 --> 00:13:42,800
put a couple of bolts in it
to hold the end caps on.
316
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,166
That will be on the bottom
of the bed cover
317
00:13:44,166 --> 00:13:45,867
so when it's closed,
you won't see them.
318
00:13:45,867 --> 00:13:48,266
Joe made this piece
for us here.
319
00:13:48,266 --> 00:13:49,867
He machined it down
so it'll fit perfectly
320
00:13:49,867 --> 00:13:51,367
inside of these square tubes.
321
00:13:51,367 --> 00:13:53,700
And what that's going to do is
it's going to support the ends
322
00:13:53,700 --> 00:13:55,333
and keep it from sagging.
323
00:14:00,567 --> 00:14:02,000
Got everything marked out
where it needs to be.
324
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:03,967
So gonna go
over to the drill press,
325
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:06,500
make sure that I get
these things drilled
326
00:14:06,500 --> 00:14:08,634
perfectly square
into the material.
327
00:14:13,266 --> 00:14:16,100
That's one of the things
about projects like this.
328
00:14:16,100 --> 00:14:18,367
People will look at it,
"Oh, that's nice.
329
00:14:18,367 --> 00:14:20,266
That's cool. That's neat."
330
00:14:20,266 --> 00:14:23,567
But they'll never really
understand the amount of work
331
00:14:23,567 --> 00:14:25,800
and labor and effort
that goes into
332
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,667
making something like this
as small as this project is,
333
00:14:29,667 --> 00:14:32,066
in the whole scheme of things
of the whole truck.
334
00:14:32,066 --> 00:14:33,600
There's still a ton of work
335
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,667
put into just
this one piece alone.
336
00:14:35,667 --> 00:14:38,100
Not to mention how much goes
into the whole truck.
337
00:14:38,100 --> 00:14:41,467
So next time
you look at a really cool,
nice custom-built truck,
338
00:14:41,467 --> 00:14:43,867
give a little bit of thought
to how much work is done
339
00:14:43,867 --> 00:14:45,367
that you don't see.
340
00:14:45,367 --> 00:14:47,734
Someone's put
a lot of effort into it.
341
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,367
We got our hinges made
for our truck bed
342
00:15:01,367 --> 00:15:02,467
on the '49 Ford.
343
00:15:02,467 --> 00:15:04,600
So we got them drilled,
tapped,
344
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,400
bolted down now.
We'll go ahead
345
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:07,500
and get it back on the truck
346
00:15:07,500 --> 00:15:08,967
and finish getting
our hinges made.
347
00:15:14,266 --> 00:15:15,767
Now we need to make
hinge mounts
348
00:15:15,767 --> 00:15:17,066
off the frame of the truck.
349
00:15:18,266 --> 00:15:19,567
So I'm going to go ahead
and make these
350
00:15:19,567 --> 00:15:22,600
out of eighth inch steel
and this will make it so that
351
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,634
the bed will articulate up
and down.
352
00:15:29,467 --> 00:15:33,000
So we're moving on
to actuators now
and trap door action.
353
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,700
I got this eighth inch
plate here.
354
00:15:34,700 --> 00:15:36,767
I'm going to get
some tabs made
355
00:15:36,767 --> 00:15:38,867
and that's going to locate
our actuators
356
00:15:38,867 --> 00:15:40,867
on the bottom
of our trap door.
357
00:15:40,867 --> 00:15:42,567
And that's what's actually
going to make the bed
358
00:15:42,567 --> 00:15:45,667
or the trap door
go up and down
359
00:15:45,667 --> 00:15:47,734
so you can see
all the great work underneath.
360
00:15:55,066 --> 00:15:57,800
So we got our actuator mounts
cut out, tacked up,
361
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,300
and we got them installed
on our trap door here.
362
00:16:00,300 --> 00:16:03,500
I'm going to go ahead
and attach our actuators now
363
00:16:03,500 --> 00:16:06,000
and then we can go ahead
and locate them on our frame,
364
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:07,700
weld them up, try it out,
365
00:16:07,700 --> 00:16:09,967
and see if we can make
a trap door go up and down.
366
00:16:26,567 --> 00:16:27,567
Now we got a trap door.
367
00:16:27,567 --> 00:16:29,200
You can see all our
awesome work underneath.
368
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,333
See the awesome frame?
Good to go.
369
00:16:40,867 --> 00:16:43,367
So we got the cab
pulled off the '49 Ford.
370
00:16:43,367 --> 00:16:45,000
We got all the sheet metal
finished up.
371
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:46,667
We got it over
at the body shop now.
372
00:16:46,667 --> 00:16:48,934
Those guys are going to work
their magic on it.
373
00:16:50,166 --> 00:16:51,600
Yeah, you're pretty good
right there.
374
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:52,900
I got the chassis rolled in.
375
00:16:52,900 --> 00:16:54,967
Now it's time
to disassemble this.
376
00:16:56,467 --> 00:16:58,867
We go all the way up
and get it out of the way.
377
00:16:58,867 --> 00:17:00,900
So I'm going to get
the motor pulled out,
378
00:17:00,900 --> 00:17:03,667
suspension pulled out,
get everything disassembled,
379
00:17:03,667 --> 00:17:05,300
weld out
what needs to be welded,
380
00:17:05,300 --> 00:17:07,333
and we'll get it shipped off
to powder coat.
381
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,867
So as you can see
we got the '49 Ford
382
00:17:20,867 --> 00:17:23,300
pretty much wrapped up
all the way in the exterior.
383
00:17:23,300 --> 00:17:25,867
The only thing left is a dash
and as you can see it has
384
00:17:25,867 --> 00:17:27,767
all these imperfections
that I have to address.
385
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:30,266
I gotta sand it
to get it ready
386
00:17:30,266 --> 00:17:31,667
so I can put
a body filler on it.
387
00:17:33,767 --> 00:17:37,266
Once I pretty much
bodywork all this
and we have it ready
388
00:17:37,266 --> 00:17:38,900
we will put one coat of primer
389
00:17:38,900 --> 00:17:41,934
and we'll see what we have
and probably add some more.
390
00:17:44,266 --> 00:17:46,600
Now that I have
the dash sanded pretty much
391
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,100
all the way to where
I can start bodyworking,
392
00:17:49,100 --> 00:17:52,367
I'm going to use a little bit
of fiberglass to smear on it
393
00:17:52,367 --> 00:17:55,266
and to dress
all the big imperfections.
394
00:17:55,266 --> 00:17:58,400
Once that dries
I can be able to block it.
395
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,266
It's important to make sure
that you wipe kind of
396
00:18:01,266 --> 00:18:04,166
following the contour
of the metal so by the time
397
00:18:04,166 --> 00:18:05,867
you start sanding and blocking
398
00:18:05,867 --> 00:18:08,133
it's going to be too much
of a hassle.
399
00:18:12,367 --> 00:18:14,367
Most people don't really
focus on the inside
400
00:18:14,367 --> 00:18:15,900
but once you're behind
that steering wheel,
401
00:18:15,900 --> 00:18:18,000
you get to see all the details
that this dash has
402
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,567
and once I get done with it
403
00:18:19,567 --> 00:18:20,934
he's going to be real happy
with it.
404
00:18:32,066 --> 00:18:33,567
As we get
to the end of the job
405
00:18:33,567 --> 00:18:35,667
as big as the '49 Ford,
406
00:18:35,667 --> 00:18:38,500
we got to do a bunch of things
at the same time.
407
00:18:38,500 --> 00:18:40,100
While we're finishing up
the bodywork,
408
00:18:40,100 --> 00:18:42,300
John's going to get going
on the interior.
409
00:18:42,300 --> 00:18:43,967
I'm going to start
with the door panels.
410
00:18:43,967 --> 00:18:45,400
So I've got the ideas
in my head
411
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,567
of what I want to do so
I'm going to get them on this
412
00:18:47,567 --> 00:18:49,100
piece of chipboard.
413
00:18:49,100 --> 00:18:52,500
I'm going to make an insert
that'll go inside of these,
414
00:18:52,500 --> 00:18:55,767
bury some lights, that way
we can get a nice trim light
415
00:18:55,767 --> 00:18:57,400
all the way
around these pieces.
416
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,266
Speakers are going
to go down here.
417
00:18:59,266 --> 00:19:02,166
I want to add carpet down
on the bottom of this door.
418
00:19:02,166 --> 00:19:04,166
Guard it against bumping.
419
00:19:05,367 --> 00:19:06,667
We've got walnut
in the bed of the truck
420
00:19:06,667 --> 00:19:09,166
so we're going to put
some walnut inside.
421
00:19:09,667 --> 00:19:11,266
All right, that's that.
422
00:19:11,266 --> 00:19:12,467
I'm going to get
some measurements
423
00:19:12,467 --> 00:19:15,166
and get it all in the computer
and get the machines to work.
424
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,166
So the router
has done its part.
425
00:19:23,166 --> 00:19:24,800
It made my pieces for me.
So the next step,
426
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:26,867
a little bit of work
on the router table.
427
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,100
Take all these insert pieces,
428
00:19:31,100 --> 00:19:32,834
get them glued into
the base panel.
429
00:19:35,367 --> 00:19:36,667
I'm going to grab the inserts,
430
00:19:36,667 --> 00:19:37,567
start doing some bodywork
on them,
431
00:19:37,567 --> 00:19:38,567
get those ready to go.
432
00:19:44,166 --> 00:19:45,900
So once these are done,
the door panel will be ready
433
00:19:45,900 --> 00:19:47,867
and we'll start some
bodywork on that
434
00:19:47,867 --> 00:19:49,266
and just about done.
435
00:19:54,100 --> 00:19:57,166
Well, all the bodywork's done.
Inserts are on.
436
00:19:57,166 --> 00:19:58,266
Everything's
where it needs to be.
437
00:19:58,266 --> 00:20:01,000
So the next step get it on
the truck, trim in the sides.
438
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,100
The thing will be
ready to wrap
439
00:20:02,100 --> 00:20:03,533
and we can move on
to the next.
440
00:20:16,700 --> 00:20:18,867
[Bill] One of the first things
you notice on any vehicle
441
00:20:18,867 --> 00:20:19,700
is the color.
442
00:20:19,700 --> 00:20:21,600
I want this truck
to really stand out,
443
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,166
so we're going to go with
this special candy paint
444
00:20:24,166 --> 00:20:26,166
and right now it's time
to pick out that color.
445
00:20:29,667 --> 00:20:32,166
-Jose, what's happening?
-What's up Bill?
446
00:20:32,166 --> 00:20:33,467
Forty-nine Ford
spray-outs, huh?
447
00:20:33,467 --> 00:20:35,300
[Jose] Spray-outs, man,
we finally got them dialed in.
448
00:20:35,300 --> 00:20:36,166
What do you think?
449
00:20:36,166 --> 00:20:37,567
These are the
candy colors right?
450
00:20:37,567 --> 00:20:38,967
[Jose] The candy lemonade,
yes, sir.
451
00:20:38,967 --> 00:20:41,500
-So we got a 24 karat
gold base.
-Mmm-hmm.
452
00:20:41,500 --> 00:20:43,667
Charcoal gray metallic base,
453
00:20:43,667 --> 00:20:45,100
and a black metallic base.
454
00:20:45,100 --> 00:20:48,500
So same candy color,
just different base colors.
455
00:20:48,500 --> 00:20:49,867
Same candy color,
different base colors
456
00:20:49,867 --> 00:20:51,066
will give you
a different effect.
457
00:20:51,066 --> 00:20:52,967
This one's just,
man, I like it
458
00:20:52,967 --> 00:20:54,700
but it's just
a little too gold.
459
00:20:54,700 --> 00:20:56,667
-[Jose] Too gold?
-For this truck, yeah.
460
00:20:56,667 --> 00:20:58,000
I think for this '49 Ford,
461
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,266
the darker is going
to set it off.
462
00:21:00,266 --> 00:21:01,266
[Jose] Oh, for sure man.
463
00:21:01,266 --> 00:21:04,000
We'll go about four coats
of metallic black base,
464
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:05,967
four coats of candy lemonade,
465
00:21:05,967 --> 00:21:07,100
and then another four coats
of clear
466
00:21:07,100 --> 00:21:08,900
which is really going to make
that truck pop
467
00:21:08,900 --> 00:21:10,700
-because of the contours
of the body.
-Mmm.
468
00:21:10,700 --> 00:21:12,367
[Bill] That's what we need
right there, but we need
469
00:21:12,367 --> 00:21:13,567
a whole lot of it.
470
00:21:13,567 --> 00:21:14,533
-We got you.
-For sure, man.
471
00:21:14,533 --> 00:21:16,567
-You need these?
-No man. Go ahead
and keep them.
472
00:21:16,567 --> 00:21:18,367
-Get some target practice?
-Yeah, yeah, go ahead, man.
473
00:21:18,367 --> 00:21:19,634
-All right, man.
-All right, brother.
474
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:33,367
[Jose] We went
with the Candy Lemonade.
475
00:21:33,367 --> 00:21:36,066
We're painting a lot of pieces
on this truck
476
00:21:36,066 --> 00:21:39,867
from the frame, motor,
transmission, body in and out.
477
00:21:39,867 --> 00:21:43,100
In this case, we're mixing up
a five-gallon bucket batch
478
00:21:43,100 --> 00:21:45,166
to get more consistency
of the color,
479
00:21:45,166 --> 00:21:47,767
versus trying to mix
a gallon at a time.
480
00:21:47,767 --> 00:21:49,700
We could kind of,
throw off the shade,
if we do it that way.
481
00:21:49,700 --> 00:21:52,367
So, that's why we're going
with a five-gallon bucket.
482
00:21:52,367 --> 00:21:56,300
So, now this candy
has a pearl,
what makes it flop.
483
00:21:56,300 --> 00:21:58,400
A flop is gonna
give you a dark
484
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,900
and a light look,
depending on
how the sun hits it.
485
00:22:01,900 --> 00:22:03,500
What makes candy a candy
486
00:22:03,500 --> 00:22:05,467
is a translucent tint
487
00:22:05,467 --> 00:22:07,266
that goes over a certain base,
488
00:22:07,266 --> 00:22:08,533
that gives you a certain look.
489
00:22:08,533 --> 00:22:12,467
Without that base,
you won't see that deepness
of the candy.
490
00:22:17,367 --> 00:22:19,767
We've got a quart
of Candy Pearl base coat.
491
00:22:19,767 --> 00:22:21,233
I'm gonna dump her
in the gallon.
492
00:22:22,500 --> 00:22:25,000
So now we're gonna
add a quart of reducer
493
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,867
to the quart of Candy Pearl
base coat.
494
00:22:27,867 --> 00:22:30,467
Now, it's time to spray
this motor transmission
and frame.
495
00:22:36,066 --> 00:22:38,100
So, we've got
the frame painted,
engine painted.
496
00:22:38,100 --> 00:22:40,667
And we're gonna
take it outside, so we can
put it all together,
497
00:22:40,667 --> 00:22:42,333
and then we're gonna
bring the cab.
498
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,100
All right, so we got
our black sealer on there,
499
00:22:49,100 --> 00:22:51,166
and we're gonna go ahead
and, uh, hit it with...
500
00:22:51,166 --> 00:22:52,634
our black base coat.
501
00:22:57,367 --> 00:22:59,433
Okay, we're gonna go ahead
and, uh, hit over our candy.
502
00:23:00,667 --> 00:23:02,367
But we're gonna have to paint
everything at once.
503
00:23:02,367 --> 00:23:05,166
We can't do piece by piece,
'cause being a candy,
504
00:23:05,166 --> 00:23:07,667
everything has to be the same,
so it can match.
505
00:23:07,667 --> 00:23:08,700
We can't mess up on this one.
506
00:23:08,700 --> 00:23:10,433
So, everything has to be done
at once.
507
00:23:12,300 --> 00:23:14,367
All right, so we've got
our two coats of candy.
508
00:23:14,367 --> 00:23:16,100
We're gonna let it dry,
509
00:23:16,100 --> 00:23:18,834
put it all back together,
and paint the whole truck
at once.
510
00:23:19,867 --> 00:23:21,900
A candy paint job
is a lot of work.
511
00:23:21,900 --> 00:23:23,400
A lot of going around the car,
512
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,000
precision on your equipment,
513
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,400
using the right material.
Preps is key.
514
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,000
If your vehicle
is not prepped, right,
515
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,266
anything after that
is gonna fail.
516
00:23:31,266 --> 00:23:33,166
So we got our...
clear coat on there.
517
00:23:33,166 --> 00:23:34,867
Everything's looking
really good.
518
00:23:34,867 --> 00:23:36,166
We're gonna
let it dry overnight,
519
00:23:36,166 --> 00:23:38,367
bring our last piece,
which is the bed,
520
00:23:38,367 --> 00:23:40,567
and make it look good
as the rest of the pieces.
521
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,200
[Bill] The '49 Ford
is all painted,
522
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,834
and the suspension's
all back from getting chromed.
523
00:23:54,767 --> 00:23:57,100
So now, we're gonna
get it all put back together.
524
00:23:57,100 --> 00:24:00,100
[Dustin] Man, the '49 Ford
is gonna come out
very, very nice.
525
00:24:00,100 --> 00:24:02,367
And with the chrome,
the polished stuff,
526
00:24:02,367 --> 00:24:04,100
and the candy paint...
527
00:24:04,100 --> 00:24:06,433
Ooh, boy.
It's gonna be slick.
528
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:11,266
It won't like...
529
00:24:12,266 --> 00:24:13,166
We'll get it to go in there.
530
00:24:13,166 --> 00:24:14,133
Here, watch this.
531
00:24:17,767 --> 00:24:20,266
-Oh, you just
got to hit harder?
-That's right.
532
00:24:20,266 --> 00:24:22,367
We got all our parts back
from getting chromed.
533
00:24:22,367 --> 00:24:23,967
I'm gonna go ahead
and start assembling
534
00:24:23,967 --> 00:24:26,467
suspension parts,
bushings, heims.
535
00:24:26,467 --> 00:24:29,166
I'm getting everything
greased up, anti-seized up.
536
00:24:29,166 --> 00:24:30,767
Just full assembly right now.
537
00:24:30,767 --> 00:24:32,133
There you go.
538
00:24:33,300 --> 00:24:35,834
We've got Mr. Corbin here,
helping me out.
539
00:24:36,567 --> 00:24:38,967
Anytime you send parts
to get chromed,
540
00:24:38,967 --> 00:24:41,667
you always have to go through,
and clean threads
541
00:24:41,667 --> 00:24:43,100
like what I'm doing right now.
542
00:24:43,100 --> 00:24:45,467
There's always stuff
that gets in the threads.
543
00:24:45,467 --> 00:24:47,266
And if you don't go through,
and clean it out,
544
00:24:47,266 --> 00:24:49,266
then you generally end up
545
00:24:49,266 --> 00:24:52,800
with a seized bushing or heim
in your part.
546
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:57,467
You put anti-seize
on whatever part
you're installing as well.
547
00:24:57,467 --> 00:24:59,967
-Wanna throw that one in?
-[Corbin] Yeah.
548
00:24:59,967 --> 00:25:02,367
[Dustin] And that will ensure
no seized parts
549
00:25:02,367 --> 00:25:05,033
in your brand-new
nice chrome pieces.
550
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,166
Man, the chrome parts
are very pretty.
551
00:25:08,166 --> 00:25:09,667
Very nice to look at.
552
00:25:09,667 --> 00:25:11,967
You can see this
so much better,
553
00:25:11,967 --> 00:25:13,567
and so much more clear
under the truck
554
00:25:13,567 --> 00:25:15,367
than a powder-coated part.
555
00:25:15,367 --> 00:25:17,767
Great finish, man.
That's mirror-finish.
556
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,767
[hammering]
557
00:25:25,767 --> 00:25:28,767
-[Bill] Every build
around here has a story.
-[grunts]
558
00:25:28,767 --> 00:25:30,567
It's cool to think
this '49 Ford
559
00:25:30,567 --> 00:25:32,433
is a gift for dad
from his daughter.
560
00:25:36,100 --> 00:25:38,834
We're at the stage now
where Matt's gonna
wire it all up.
561
00:25:39,900 --> 00:25:42,500
[Matt] So right here,
on the inside of the truck,
562
00:25:42,500 --> 00:25:44,467
this is where our fuse...
fuse panel is mounted.
563
00:25:44,467 --> 00:25:46,567
We're gonna pop
our holes out right here,
564
00:25:46,567 --> 00:25:48,100
so we can bring our wires out,
565
00:25:48,100 --> 00:25:50,300
and hug the body
as close as possible.
566
00:25:50,300 --> 00:25:53,667
And then we're gonna
hit the frame right
somewhere in this area.
567
00:25:53,667 --> 00:25:55,300
That way, when everything
is together,
568
00:25:55,300 --> 00:25:56,734
all this will be hidden.
569
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,333
I've checked four times,
but I'm gonna check again.
570
00:26:05,266 --> 00:26:07,533
Definitely being
extra careful, I mean...
571
00:26:08,767 --> 00:26:10,934
you got... I got one shot
to drill the right hole.
572
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,266
These are
the bulkhead fittings
we normally use
573
00:26:21,266 --> 00:26:23,166
running air lines
into the cab.
574
00:26:23,166 --> 00:26:26,834
You'd... you'd put this
in there and push
your air line in there.
575
00:26:29,867 --> 00:26:34,066
But this is the first time
I've ever used these,
that run wires.
576
00:26:35,266 --> 00:26:36,767
But when Bill said,
577
00:26:36,767 --> 00:26:40,000
we don't want to see
no wires on the frame,
no zip ties...
578
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,100
it forced me
to figure something out.
579
00:26:42,100 --> 00:26:44,200
I know this keeps
a nice tight seal.
580
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,066
It keeps water out,
and stuff like that.
581
00:26:46,066 --> 00:26:48,767
So I figured,
why not run wires through it?
582
00:26:48,767 --> 00:26:51,467
I try to keep it tight
to the body, but still,
583
00:26:51,467 --> 00:26:53,567
I guess, symmetrical looking.
584
00:26:53,567 --> 00:26:55,567
So, it looks like
it belongs there
and it's not...
585
00:26:55,567 --> 00:26:57,233
it wasn't an afterthought.
586
00:26:58,967 --> 00:27:00,567
We're gonna go ahead
and drill them now.
587
00:27:00,567 --> 00:27:03,000
It started with a small hole,
a pilot hole,
588
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,567
and then we slowly
step up the sizes.
589
00:27:05,567 --> 00:27:08,867
It makes the hole
easier to drill
when you do it that way.
590
00:27:08,867 --> 00:27:11,500
And also, we don't wanna
create too much heat.
591
00:27:11,500 --> 00:27:13,867
Since the frame is painted,
it'll start bubbling up.
592
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,667
None of this,
anybody's ever gonna see.
593
00:27:18,667 --> 00:27:20,567
But every build I do,
I like to be,
594
00:27:20,567 --> 00:27:23,667
not necessarily better
than somebody else's build,
595
00:27:23,667 --> 00:27:25,667
but I like to be better
than my last one.
596
00:27:25,667 --> 00:27:28,467
Lucky for me,
this idea is working out
the way it should.
597
00:27:28,467 --> 00:27:30,767
We're gonna go ahead
and move on
to the rest of 'em,
598
00:27:30,767 --> 00:27:31,967
and get it tied up.
599
00:27:40,367 --> 00:27:42,767
The last piece we have
for the '49 Ford
600
00:27:42,767 --> 00:27:44,900
is the center console.
601
00:27:44,900 --> 00:27:47,200
We've got room now
for the 3P controller.
602
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,166
We've got window switches.
603
00:27:49,166 --> 00:27:50,900
We've got switches
to control the tailgate,
604
00:27:50,900 --> 00:27:53,600
switch to control bed floor,
headlights,
605
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,367
chrome light,
interior light, dimmer.
606
00:27:56,367 --> 00:27:59,200
All in one beautiful piece
of walnut.
607
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:00,667
We'll get those things
sent over to Louis.
608
00:28:00,667 --> 00:28:02,066
Let Louis do his magic on it,
609
00:28:02,066 --> 00:28:04,266
and we'll start
building console.
610
00:28:05,367 --> 00:28:07,567
[Louis] I've got a collection
of stains here, John.
611
00:28:07,567 --> 00:28:09,900
-I'm just gonna try
to make it work.
-[John] Make something happen?
612
00:28:09,900 --> 00:28:11,033
[Louis] Yes, sir.
613
00:28:11,767 --> 00:28:13,400
I think it'll work out.
614
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,367
We're gonna apply
our wiping stain,
615
00:28:15,367 --> 00:28:17,533
put some clear on it,
and we'll be good to go.
616
00:28:23,100 --> 00:28:26,000
This is a water-based
wiping stain,
617
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,700
so it... drives very fast.
618
00:28:28,700 --> 00:28:30,934
It's gonna highlight
the beauty of that walnut.
619
00:28:31,867 --> 00:28:34,867
And it's really easy
to work with.
620
00:28:34,867 --> 00:28:36,367
What I really like
about the stain,
621
00:28:36,367 --> 00:28:37,767
it's very uniforming.
622
00:28:37,767 --> 00:28:39,266
It's very forgiving.
623
00:28:39,266 --> 00:28:40,767
It dries real fast.
624
00:28:40,767 --> 00:28:44,967
And pretty much immediately
just go ahead and apply
our topcoat.
625
00:28:49,567 --> 00:28:52,000
We're gonna go ahead and put
our solvent look sealer.
626
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,100
This is really gonna bring out
the beauty of this walnut,
627
00:28:55,100 --> 00:28:57,567
and keep it well protected
for your scuff.
628
00:29:01,367 --> 00:29:03,100
Now we're gonna go ahead
and sand this.
629
00:29:03,100 --> 00:29:05,100
Make sure
it's nice and smooth.
630
00:29:05,100 --> 00:29:07,600
So, walnut by nature,
it's very grainy,
631
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,467
so we're gonna
sand it really well,
632
00:29:09,467 --> 00:29:12,233
and apply our final coat
of top coat,
and that'll be done.
633
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,867
This is an electric
spray system.
It has low overspray.
634
00:29:16,867 --> 00:29:18,567
So, since we're not
spraying in a booth,
635
00:29:18,567 --> 00:29:20,567
this is gonna be
the perfect machine
636
00:29:20,567 --> 00:29:24,266
for applying our solvent
look sealer to the wood.
637
00:29:32,066 --> 00:29:34,266
[John] All right,
all the pieces
are done on the CNC,
638
00:29:34,266 --> 00:29:36,300
so now it's just time
to put the puzzle together.
639
00:29:36,300 --> 00:29:37,767
Stack, stack, stack.
640
00:29:40,166 --> 00:29:43,400
We're just gonna use
a little bit
of stack fab here,
641
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,100
Stacking all the pieces up.
642
00:29:45,100 --> 00:29:47,367
Fabricating everything
in a stack.
643
00:29:47,367 --> 00:29:49,567
Pretty... pretty... pretty
straightforward there, huh?
644
00:29:55,867 --> 00:29:58,700
All right, so the first half
of the console is in place.
645
00:29:58,700 --> 00:30:01,166
It fits good.
Shapes look great.
646
00:30:01,166 --> 00:30:02,900
I'm gonna go through,
and put some body filler in
647
00:30:02,900 --> 00:30:04,500
to fill in the gaps
around the front.
648
00:30:04,500 --> 00:30:06,367
When that's done,
we'll do the bodywork,
649
00:30:06,367 --> 00:30:07,834
and we'll be ready
to build the back half.
650
00:30:12,867 --> 00:30:14,767
All right, so the top
of the back half
of the console
651
00:30:14,767 --> 00:30:15,700
is done and ready to go.
652
00:30:15,700 --> 00:30:17,867
So, the next step,
we start building the sides,
653
00:30:19,367 --> 00:30:20,333
get it in place.
654
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:24,533
A little bit more bodywork...
655
00:30:27,667 --> 00:30:30,166
we'll be ready to wrap it
and we can kick it
out the door.
656
00:30:31,967 --> 00:30:33,767
Anytime you're building
a console,
657
00:30:33,767 --> 00:30:35,533
um, keep in mind...
658
00:30:36,467 --> 00:30:39,667
your designs, your shapes
make everything.
659
00:30:39,667 --> 00:30:41,867
It kind of flows together.
660
00:30:42,700 --> 00:30:45,066
Something going off,
something different.
661
00:30:45,667 --> 00:30:47,166
Something no one else has.
662
00:30:51,467 --> 00:30:54,600
All right, so the console
for the '49 Ford
is done and done.
663
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:55,500
Man, this thing looks great.
664
00:30:55,500 --> 00:30:56,967
I couldn't ask for it
to look any better.
665
00:30:56,967 --> 00:31:00,066
So with that being said,
I'm gonna go
get it in the truck,
666
00:31:00,066 --> 00:31:02,166
so we can get the truck
out of the shop.
667
00:31:16,767 --> 00:31:18,600
[Bill] Back in the day,
you know, '49 Ford
668
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:20,166
was pushing
about 100 horsepower.
669
00:31:20,166 --> 00:31:21,567
The new Coyote engine
670
00:31:21,567 --> 00:31:23,767
is gonna give this truck
a lot more power.
671
00:31:23,767 --> 00:31:26,734
But these engines come
with a lot more wiring
than they used to.
672
00:31:28,367 --> 00:31:29,834
I haven't even
seen underneath.
673
00:31:31,266 --> 00:31:34,000
[Bill] I want to hide
all the wires
going to the engine base,
674
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:35,700
so it looks super clean.
675
00:31:35,700 --> 00:31:38,000
-[Matt] I've got a problem.
-[Jamie] What?
676
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:39,367
So, I'm trying
to figure out...
677
00:31:39,767 --> 00:31:41,700
how I'm getting...
678
00:31:41,700 --> 00:31:43,667
-the main power cable
to the starter...
-Yeah.
679
00:31:43,667 --> 00:31:46,767
...and then to our PAC-80
without being seen.
680
00:31:46,767 --> 00:31:48,467
We definitely can't use
the half-inch tube,
681
00:31:48,467 --> 00:31:49,967
like we use it
on everything else.
682
00:31:49,967 --> 00:31:51,500
Yeah, that's not
gonna work either.
683
00:31:51,500 --> 00:31:53,367
[Matt] And I could come
inside the cab, but I mean,
684
00:31:53,367 --> 00:31:55,266
that's gonna mess
with the interior.
685
00:31:55,266 --> 00:31:58,867
I think that's really, um,
the only option
right here that we have.
686
00:31:58,867 --> 00:32:00,266
That's just
all there is to it.
687
00:32:00,266 --> 00:32:02,033
You're right. It needs
to go through the cab.
688
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,100
[Matt] Everything on the truck
is strategically laid out
689
00:32:07,100 --> 00:32:09,567
as from
a fabricator standpoint.
690
00:32:09,567 --> 00:32:12,066
From my standpoint,
it makes it a little harder.
691
00:32:13,266 --> 00:32:15,600
When I'm doing
what I have to do,
692
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,867
I try not to interfere
with whoever's doing interior
693
00:32:18,867 --> 00:32:21,166
or fabrication or whatever.
694
00:32:21,166 --> 00:32:23,266
But I mean, sometimes,
you got to put your wires
695
00:32:23,266 --> 00:32:26,266
or put your mount
wherever it... it's gotta go.
696
00:32:27,367 --> 00:32:29,367
And, I mean,
we're all good at what we do,
697
00:32:29,367 --> 00:32:32,000
so, I mean, the next person,
it might be a little
more challenging,
698
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:33,533
but they...
they'll get it figured out.
699
00:32:35,367 --> 00:32:37,000
We're gonna go ahead
and start trying to...
700
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:38,567
fish the wire through.
701
00:32:38,567 --> 00:32:40,367
This one was a short run.
702
00:32:40,367 --> 00:32:42,667
It went through
a lot easier than I thought.
703
00:32:42,667 --> 00:32:44,467
Not a good idea
to get too excited.
704
00:32:44,467 --> 00:32:46,400
Usually when that happens,
705
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,767
the next one
gives you problems.
706
00:32:48,767 --> 00:32:50,433
Most likely it will.
707
00:32:51,867 --> 00:32:54,033
[Jamie] Yeah, we're definitely
caught up on something.
708
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,767
[Matt] See, I knew the back
couldn't be as easy
as the front.
709
00:32:58,300 --> 00:32:59,200
[chuckles]
710
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:00,900
I know I'm right there
at that sway bar
711
00:33:00,900 --> 00:33:03,567
because I'm...
kind of getting caught,
712
00:33:03,567 --> 00:33:05,166
so I'm just trying
to flip the line...
713
00:33:05,867 --> 00:33:07,533
until I don't feel it.
714
00:33:09,467 --> 00:33:10,500
[Bill] Man, we got it.
715
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,467
Now, we'll go ahead
and tie our wires onto this
716
00:33:14,467 --> 00:33:16,667
and get 'em pulled
down the frame.
717
00:33:35,266 --> 00:33:37,700
This factory harness
that goes on the Coyote motor,
718
00:33:37,700 --> 00:33:41,467
one of the main plugs
that goes to the ECM
is in the front
719
00:33:41,467 --> 00:33:43,600
'cause that's where
the computers mount factory.
720
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:47,300
So, I went ahead
and we cut open all the loom
on the harness.
721
00:33:47,300 --> 00:33:49,767
I moved the plug
inside the cab.
722
00:33:49,767 --> 00:33:52,367
Doing that, it caused me
to have to extend
723
00:33:52,367 --> 00:33:54,200
some of the wires
for the sensors.
724
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,166
We... we gotta cut
these open, lengthen 'em.
725
00:33:57,166 --> 00:33:59,367
We'll... we'll solder 'em up,
doing it one at a time,
726
00:33:59,367 --> 00:34:03,834
just so we get rid
of some of the mess,
and it looks clean at the end.
727
00:34:08,300 --> 00:34:11,367
This part of the electrical
is pretty crucial.
728
00:34:11,367 --> 00:34:15,033
Without this being done right,
the truck's not gonna run.
729
00:34:17,100 --> 00:34:21,533
Building something like this,
every minute of it is hard,
like, it's a pain.
730
00:34:22,367 --> 00:34:24,367
And you have
to really love doing it
731
00:34:24,367 --> 00:34:26,767
to stick with it
and ride it out to the end.
732
00:34:26,767 --> 00:34:28,533
To me, it's fulfilling.
733
00:34:29,700 --> 00:34:32,200
That creativity
and don't be scared
734
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,433
that somebody might not like
what you did.
735
00:34:35,100 --> 00:34:36,400
I mean,
that's how you set trends,
736
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,800
like, by doing new things
that nobody else does.
737
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:41,166
I mean, I'm sure there's a lot
of people out there
738
00:34:41,166 --> 00:34:44,100
that do it for the recognition
of building the cars.
739
00:34:44,100 --> 00:34:47,467
But I mean, most of us,
we do it because this is
what we love to do.
740
00:34:50,467 --> 00:34:51,834
Moment of truth.
741
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:55,233
Well, let's do it.
742
00:34:55,233 --> 00:34:59,000
Please, please, please,
please, please, please,
please start.
743
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,333
It's gonna start. Right, Matt?
It's gonna start.
744
00:35:02,300 --> 00:35:03,600
You tell me
when you're ready.
745
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:04,634
[Matt] Go ahead.
746
00:35:06,500 --> 00:35:07,934
[engine spluttering]
747
00:35:13,967 --> 00:35:15,300
[engine starts]
748
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:23,266
-[Dustin] Let's go!
-[exclaiming and mimicking
engine starting]
749
00:35:23,266 --> 00:35:24,800
[laughs]
750
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:26,367
Damn, that was loud as hell.
751
00:35:27,166 --> 00:35:28,800
Badass feeling, for sure.
752
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:30,467
-[Dustin] Yeah.
-All that hard work.
753
00:35:30,467 --> 00:35:33,467
-And it... it's... it's there.
-I don't know what time it is,
754
00:35:33,467 --> 00:35:35,767
but it's late,
and that's a good payoff.
755
00:35:35,767 --> 00:35:37,100
[Matt] And the rest
is up to them.
756
00:35:37,100 --> 00:35:38,934
-Let's go, huh.
-[laughs]
757
00:35:44,900 --> 00:35:46,767
Every build we do
is special to us
758
00:35:46,767 --> 00:35:48,567
and the customer, of course.
759
00:35:48,567 --> 00:35:50,867
But this '49 Ford's
maybe a little more
760
00:35:50,867 --> 00:35:52,266
because it's a gift.
761
00:35:52,900 --> 00:35:54,533
And it's almost there.
762
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,600
We're putting the bed floor
together one last time.
763
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:00,634
We're installing
the bumper and hood...
764
00:36:01,166 --> 00:36:02,867
buffing and polishing.
765
00:36:04,166 --> 00:36:05,700
And after eight months
of hard work,
766
00:36:05,700 --> 00:36:07,367
we're ready to give
this one back.
767
00:36:14,467 --> 00:36:15,600
[Carlos] Once the vehicle
is actually here,
768
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:17,867
it's just an immediate rush
of, "Let's get this part.
769
00:36:17,867 --> 00:36:19,667
Let's get these parts in."
770
00:36:19,667 --> 00:36:22,266
I have to be on my game
to, you know, make sure
771
00:36:22,266 --> 00:36:23,533
all the products are here.
772
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,300
I've been doing this for,
you know, 15-plus years,
773
00:36:27,300 --> 00:36:28,800
you know, working
with cars, trucks.
774
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:32,166
You know, moving out here,
you know, doing the big move
with my family,
775
00:36:32,166 --> 00:36:33,667
I didn't know what to expect.
776
00:36:33,667 --> 00:36:35,600
The first two years
of being here, man,
777
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:40,000
it's been one of the wildest,
craziest rides
I've ever been on.
778
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:41,900
I fit right in with everybody
because they speak
779
00:36:41,900 --> 00:36:43,834
the language what I speak,
custom trucks.
780
00:36:45,300 --> 00:36:48,500
When building, the guys
get it in the back,
and they start going.
781
00:36:48,500 --> 00:36:50,300
The end product
is like no other.
782
00:36:50,300 --> 00:36:55,567
You wouldn't even know that
that was the same vehicle
that came in the first day.
783
00:36:55,567 --> 00:36:59,467
At the end of the day,
you're making somebody's dream
really become a reality.
784
00:36:59,467 --> 00:37:01,066
-Oh! Look at that. Wow!
-[laughs]
785
00:37:01,066 --> 00:37:02,500
-Oh, my God!
-Oh, my--
786
00:37:02,500 --> 00:37:04,200
[Carlos] The detail
and, you know, everything
787
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:06,266
that the guys in the back
have done to that truck,
788
00:37:06,266 --> 00:37:08,734
it makes you very proud
to... to be a part of that.
789
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,000
-Hi.
-Hey.
790
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,834
Stephanie's convinced me
that her dad has no idea
791
00:37:21,834 --> 00:37:23,166
where his truck's at.
792
00:37:23,166 --> 00:37:24,100
-Stephanie, Bill.
-[Stephanie] Yes.
793
00:37:24,100 --> 00:37:25,000
-Carroll, my dad.
-Carroll Estes.
794
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:26,000
-Nice to meet you.
-Carroll, Bill.
795
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:27,667
So, we're gonna play
a little joke on him.
796
00:37:27,667 --> 00:37:29,567
You know, have him come in.
797
00:37:29,567 --> 00:37:31,066
She doesn't know anything.
798
00:37:31,066 --> 00:37:35,367
I wanted to talk to you
about my dad's 1949 Ford F-1.
799
00:37:35,367 --> 00:37:36,567
They're coming in today
800
00:37:36,567 --> 00:37:39,734
for her dad to tell me
what he wants in a build.
801
00:37:39,734 --> 00:37:43,000
I had one in high school
and I sold it.
802
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:44,667
I've regretted selling it
ever since.
803
00:37:44,667 --> 00:37:49,000
-Sure. We always regret one
or two along the way, right?
-Yeah.
804
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:52,567
I've seen Bill's work before,
and I think this is the place
805
00:37:52,567 --> 00:37:54,166
to get my dream fulfilled
806
00:37:54,166 --> 00:37:56,033
and get him
to build this truck.
807
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,767
You know, the '49 Ford
is a cool, cool truck,
808
00:37:59,767 --> 00:38:02,066
-and I can definitely see,
you know, you wanting...
-[Carroll] Yeah.
809
00:38:02,066 --> 00:38:04,734
[Bill] ...something really
cool built out of that.
810
00:38:04,734 --> 00:38:08,467
But we might have
a little surprise for you.
811
00:38:08,467 --> 00:38:12,734
-Uh, okay.
-So, Stephanie brought
your truck in,
812
00:38:12,734 --> 00:38:13,967
you know, a while back.
813
00:38:13,967 --> 00:38:16,734
And we've been working on it
for you already.
814
00:38:17,266 --> 00:38:18,266
Really?
815
00:38:18,767 --> 00:38:19,900
[Stephanie and Bill laugh]
816
00:38:19,900 --> 00:38:20,900
[Carroll] Is she's pulling
my leg?
817
00:38:20,900 --> 00:38:23,233
-What'd you do?
-[Stephanie] No. [laughs]
818
00:38:23,900 --> 00:38:25,400
-Come on.
-All right.
819
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:26,800
-Let's go see.
-Let's go.
820
00:38:30,300 --> 00:38:32,300
Oh, my God.
821
00:38:32,300 --> 00:38:34,867
-[all] Surprise! [exclaiming]
-[Bill and Stephanie laugh]
822
00:38:34,867 --> 00:38:36,634
Oh, my God!
823
00:38:37,467 --> 00:38:39,266
Bill.
824
00:38:39,266 --> 00:38:41,667
-What did y'all do? Huh?
-[Bill and Stephanie laugh]
825
00:38:42,834 --> 00:38:44,667
Oh, my God,
my family's here and all.
826
00:38:45,166 --> 00:38:46,333
[Stephanie] Yeah!
827
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,767
[Carroll] Man,
that thing is...
828
00:38:49,767 --> 00:38:52,166
-What, do you like it?
-...beautiful. Yeah.
829
00:38:52,467 --> 00:38:53,567
Oh, my gosh.
830
00:38:53,567 --> 00:38:56,266
-It's on the ground, even!
-Do you like it?
831
00:38:56,266 --> 00:38:59,667
-Well, yeah, we had
to make it low for you.
-That's pretty low.
832
00:39:02,166 --> 00:39:03,467
My dreams come true.
833
00:39:03,467 --> 00:39:06,300
I walked out here
and I saw the truck.
834
00:39:06,300 --> 00:39:08,100
Oh, my God,
everybody was hollering.
835
00:39:08,100 --> 00:39:12,100
-I realized my whole family
was down here supporting me.
-[all applauding]
836
00:39:12,100 --> 00:39:13,867
And I'm very grateful
and blessed
837
00:39:13,867 --> 00:39:16,100
to have such wonderful people
in my family.
838
00:39:16,100 --> 00:39:17,433
[all cheering]
839
00:39:20,667 --> 00:39:22,500
Uh, my gosh.
840
00:39:22,500 --> 00:39:24,000
[Stephanie laughs]
841
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,667
My family was in on this?
842
00:39:26,667 --> 00:39:31,000
I... I can't even tell you
how much that...
that means to me.
843
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:32,367
-Y'all did good.
-[Stephanie] You did good.
844
00:39:32,367 --> 00:39:33,600
Yeah, y'all did good.
845
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:35,000
-Fantastic.
-All of y'all did good.
846
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:36,000
Hey, it's beautiful.
847
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:37,367
When she brought
your truck in,
848
00:39:37,367 --> 00:39:39,100
I kinda really didn't
wanna tackle it.
849
00:39:39,100 --> 00:39:40,967
-It was just so much
work involved...
-[Carroll] All right.
850
00:39:40,967 --> 00:39:42,834
[Bill] ...to take
something like that
851
00:39:42,834 --> 00:39:45,033
and make it into
something like this, but...
852
00:39:45,467 --> 00:39:46,834
she talked me into it.
853
00:39:46,834 --> 00:39:50,567
-It was a special project,
especially for you.
-[Carroll] Yeah.
854
00:39:50,567 --> 00:39:52,867
I had one in high school,
and there's no way
855
00:39:52,867 --> 00:39:54,333
we could have done
that in high school.
856
00:39:55,467 --> 00:39:58,200
There's so many things
I see that... that I like
857
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:00,967
and that somebody
did work on.
858
00:40:00,967 --> 00:40:04,066
[Bill] Every one of these guys
got blood, sweat and...
859
00:40:04,066 --> 00:40:06,000
and tears in it, for sure.
860
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:07,467
Did they have tetanus shots?
861
00:40:07,467 --> 00:40:09,400
-[laughing] Oh, yeah.
-[Stephanie laughs]
862
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:11,266
-We're all up-to-date.
-[Carroll] Up-to-date?
863
00:40:11,266 --> 00:40:12,467
-[Stephanie laughs]
-[Carroll] Oh.
864
00:40:12,467 --> 00:40:14,600
I can't imagine
how much time and hours
865
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:17,300
that they've spent
doing metalwork
on the truck,
866
00:40:17,300 --> 00:40:19,667
the bed, the fenders,
the drip rail.
867
00:40:19,667 --> 00:40:22,467
All of the body's seams
welded and cut up.
868
00:40:22,467 --> 00:40:24,000
Unbelievable metalwork.
869
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:25,767
That color is crazy, man.
870
00:40:25,767 --> 00:40:28,266
It's so deep
and it kinda flops
871
00:40:28,266 --> 00:40:32,567
when the sun's on it
to a black, in the shadows
and all.
872
00:40:32,567 --> 00:40:33,734
That's one of a kind
right there.
873
00:40:33,734 --> 00:40:36,300
That's a candy pearl lemonade
over a black base.
874
00:40:36,300 --> 00:40:38,000
-[Carroll] You couldn't have
picked a better color.
-[Stephanie] Impressive.
875
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:39,100
You got any chrome?
876
00:40:39,100 --> 00:40:40,567
[Bill] There's a little bit
of chrome underneath here.
877
00:40:40,567 --> 00:40:42,667
-[Carroll] There's a little
chrome on it.
-[laughs]
878
00:40:42,667 --> 00:40:44,266
That's what we wanted.
879
00:40:44,266 --> 00:40:46,367
-[Bill] Everywhere you look,
it has custom touches on it.
-[Carroll] Yeah.
880
00:40:46,367 --> 00:40:50,467
[Bill] You'll be hard-pressed
to find a '49 Ford like this
anywhere on this planet.
881
00:40:51,066 --> 00:40:52,066
I would agree.
882
00:40:54,667 --> 00:40:56,400
-Oh, my God!
-Wow!
883
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:59,166
-[Carroll] Oh, my... Wow!
-[Stephanie] Oh, wow!
884
00:40:59,166 --> 00:41:00,500
-Whoo!
-[man] Whoo!
885
00:41:00,500 --> 00:41:01,767
-Yeah!
-[laughs]
886
00:41:01,767 --> 00:41:03,567
-[Stephanie] Yeah, buddy!
-[Bill laughs]
887
00:41:03,567 --> 00:41:04,934
[Carroll] Oh, my God!
888
00:41:04,934 --> 00:41:08,166
[Bill] You see, that 5.0 fits
really good underneath
the hood now.
889
00:41:08,166 --> 00:41:10,166
-[Stephanie] Yeah.
-We had to make
a whole lot of room.
890
00:41:10,166 --> 00:41:11,834
And while we were
making a lot of room,
891
00:41:11,834 --> 00:41:13,567
we made a bunch
of handmade panels
892
00:41:13,567 --> 00:41:16,000
to make it look even better
under the hood.
893
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:17,500
[Carroll] The inner fenders
are all welded up.
894
00:41:17,500 --> 00:41:20,266
There's no seams
in the bottom part
of the front fenders.
895
00:41:20,266 --> 00:41:22,567
I don't have words.
I mean, it's just fabulous.
896
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:24,500
If you're liking that,
897
00:41:24,500 --> 00:41:26,734
-we got some more
for you to check out.
-I like that. I like that.
898
00:41:30,266 --> 00:41:31,467
-Wow.
-[all exclaiming]
899
00:41:31,467 --> 00:41:32,734
-Wow!
-Whoo!
900
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:35,667
-Nice. Very nice.
-[man] Yeah!
901
00:41:35,667 --> 00:41:37,000
Big transformation
what was there,
902
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:38,367
there wasn't anything there.
903
00:41:38,367 --> 00:41:40,767
And, man, in your interior
was missing the floor.
904
00:41:40,767 --> 00:41:42,567
We repaired all that,
slicked it all out.
905
00:41:42,567 --> 00:41:46,600
John Burgess got busy
in building everything
you see in there, pretty much.
906
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:50,066
Holy Jesus.
John did a fantastic job
on that interior,
907
00:41:50,066 --> 00:41:54,166
the... the door panels,
the... the seats, the carpet,
the dash.
908
00:41:54,166 --> 00:41:57,600
That's just
one of a kind interior.
It's just cool.
909
00:41:57,600 --> 00:41:59,667
-[Stephanie] Wow.
-[Carroll] Oh, my Lord.
910
00:41:59,667 --> 00:42:01,000
[Stephanie] Just gets
better and better.
911
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:03,767
I think this is one
of my favorite parts
of the truck, for sure.
912
00:42:03,767 --> 00:42:09,367
When you're behind it,
you see those 22 by 12s
with the big tires on it.
913
00:42:09,367 --> 00:42:11,200
The handmade bed
kind of built
914
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:13,467
to the suspension
and the wheels and tires.
915
00:42:13,467 --> 00:42:14,734
[Carroll]
What holds the tailgate on?
916
00:42:14,734 --> 00:42:17,000
-[Bill] It's all actuated.
-[Carroll] Actuated?
917
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:18,233
John, help me out.
918
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:22,734
-[Stephanie] Wow,
that's so cool.
-[Carroll] Oh, Lord.
919
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:26,567
-[Carroll] What?
-[Stephanie exclaims]
920
00:42:26,567 --> 00:42:29,300
-[Carroll] Oh, look at that.
-[Stephanie] Wow!
921
00:42:29,300 --> 00:42:31,567
[Bill] The bed floor
is all on the actuators, too.
922
00:42:31,567 --> 00:42:34,166
-And you can see
all that framework.
-[all exclaiming]
923
00:42:34,166 --> 00:42:35,834
-Wow, wow, wow, wow!
-Wow!
924
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:38,967
[Stephanie] There's your
independent rear suspension.
925
00:42:38,967 --> 00:42:41,834
-It's beautiful.
-[Bill] And you see
that's all connected
926
00:42:41,834 --> 00:42:43,767
to a brand-new chassis
front to back.
927
00:42:43,767 --> 00:42:46,266
Every bit of the suspension
in the front
928
00:42:46,266 --> 00:42:49,166
has all been handmade,
with air suspension,
929
00:42:49,166 --> 00:42:52,934
so you can raise and lower it,
you'd still have that nice,
comfortable ride also.
930
00:42:53,767 --> 00:42:57,300
It looks just as good
looking at every angle
931
00:42:57,300 --> 00:42:59,166
from underneath
as it does from the top.
932
00:42:59,834 --> 00:43:02,000
Wow, it's fabulous.
933
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:04,166
You know, I always say
it's not a one-man show.
934
00:43:04,166 --> 00:43:06,900
I mean, it takes
everyone in the shop
935
00:43:06,900 --> 00:43:09,367
to work their ass off
all day, every day,
936
00:43:09,367 --> 00:43:12,266
to see projects like this
to the finish line.
937
00:43:12,266 --> 00:43:13,867
So, how do you think
we did, man?
938
00:43:13,867 --> 00:43:16,367
Is this the... the truck
you was hoping for?
939
00:43:16,367 --> 00:43:18,667
Yeah. It's everything
I could have dreamed of
940
00:43:18,667 --> 00:43:21,867
or imagined,
all in one package.
941
00:43:21,867 --> 00:43:24,600
-Hey, thank you, baby.
-You're welcome.
942
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:25,967
-Love you.
-Love you, too.
943
00:43:25,967 --> 00:43:28,400
-Thank you, Bill.
Appreciate it.
-You're very welcome.
944
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:30,200
-[Carroll] Thank you, guys.
-[all applauding]
945
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:31,467
[Stephanie] Y'all did great.
