1
00:00:00,967 --> 00:00:02,033
[Shorty] We're getting ready
2
00:00:02,033 --> 00:00:03,100
to go see one of our friends,
his name is Pork Chop.
3
00:00:03,100 --> 00:00:05,200
And he just happens
to have in '69 Firebird
4
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:08,100
he wants to build
as a '69 Trans Am.
5
00:00:08,100 --> 00:00:09,066
Jeez!
6
00:00:09,066 --> 00:00:10,667
[Joel] Where's the rest of it?
7
00:00:10,667 --> 00:00:12,900
[Gary] We've had this car
to two other shops
8
00:00:12,900 --> 00:00:15,367
and it comes back
in worse condition every time.
9
00:00:15,367 --> 00:00:16,233
[PG] The belt's gone.
10
00:00:16,233 --> 00:00:18,233
[Joel] Everything's gone
off the front, man.
11
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:20,100
Line it out.
12
00:00:20,100 --> 00:00:21,867
[Shorty] We have a lot of work
ahead on this car.
13
00:00:21,867 --> 00:00:24,567
What sets 'em apart
is mainly the paintjob.
14
00:00:24,567 --> 00:00:27,000
These cars were iconic
for their color.
15
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,967
[Joel] Clean it up,
fuel injection, AC,
white seats.
16
00:00:31,066 --> 00:00:33,400
-That is amazing!
-[all laughing]
17
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,600
[theme music playing]
18
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:37,667
[Shorty] My name is Javier,
19
00:00:37,667 --> 00:00:39,266
but most people
call me Shorty.
20
00:00:39,266 --> 00:00:40,567
I was born in Mexico...
21
00:00:40,567 --> 00:00:41,567
[engine revs]
22
00:00:41,567 --> 00:00:42,700
[Shorty] ...and when
I was four-years-old,
23
00:00:42,700 --> 00:00:43,867
my parents moved to Texas
24
00:00:43,867 --> 00:00:46,166
in search
of the American dream.
25
00:00:46,166 --> 00:00:47,767
Now, I'm living that dream
26
00:00:47,767 --> 00:00:49,000
with my own custom shop
27
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,233
and the team that builds
the coolest cars on the road.
28
00:00:54,367 --> 00:00:56,166
-Oh!
-Oh, my God!
29
00:00:56,166 --> 00:00:58,600
[Shorty] We make dreams
come true.
30
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,634
[all exclaiming]
31
00:01:09,100 --> 00:01:11,100
So, what you got?
Where are we going?
32
00:01:11,100 --> 00:01:12,300
What's cooking?
33
00:01:12,300 --> 00:01:16,100
Well, we're gonna pick up
a badass Firebird, Joel?
34
00:01:16,100 --> 00:01:18,367
-A Firebird?
-Yeah, a Firebird, man.
35
00:01:18,367 --> 00:01:20,767
-We've done a Firebird.
-I know it.
36
00:01:20,767 --> 00:01:23,300
Joel and I are getting ready
to go see one of our friends,
37
00:01:23,300 --> 00:01:24,467
his name is Gary,
38
00:01:24,467 --> 00:01:25,867
but he goes by Pork Chop.
39
00:01:25,867 --> 00:01:28,500
And he just happens
to have a real neat, nice
40
00:01:28,500 --> 00:01:29,967
'69 Firebird,
41
00:01:29,967 --> 00:01:32,667
which he wants to clone
into a '69 Trans Am.
42
00:01:32,667 --> 00:01:34,734
And get this,
it's also a convertible.
43
00:01:35,100 --> 00:01:36,166
Well, look,
44
00:01:36,166 --> 00:01:38,066
we're gonna clone this car.
45
00:01:38,066 --> 00:01:40,266
-Clone it?
-Yes, it's not a real one.
46
00:01:40,266 --> 00:01:42,433
We're gonna clone it.
We're gonna Pork Chop it.
47
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:43,567
Yes.
48
00:01:43,567 --> 00:01:45,266
His wife has always
wanted a car like this,
49
00:01:45,266 --> 00:01:46,767
so Pork Chop found this car
50
00:01:46,767 --> 00:01:49,100
and wants to give it to her
as a surprise.
51
00:01:49,100 --> 00:01:50,667
And I have one question, man.
52
00:01:50,667 --> 00:01:52,467
I'm not trying to be
funny pr anything but...
53
00:01:52,467 --> 00:01:54,467
-What?
-How do you call
yourself Pork Chop?
54
00:01:54,467 --> 00:01:55,867
[chuckles]
55
00:01:56,367 --> 00:01:57,400
[Joel] Damn, dog.
56
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:58,734
Punch it, man, I'm hungry.
57
00:01:59,967 --> 00:02:02,066
[blues music playing]
58
00:02:06,667 --> 00:02:08,000
Get it off in here.
59
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,000
I think we're
good there, Shorty.
60
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,000
Shorty and Joel
are down to take
a look at my '69 Firebird.
61
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,300
We've had it at few shops
62
00:02:15,300 --> 00:02:17,066
and they haven't
done this right.
63
00:02:17,066 --> 00:02:18,667
See, if they could
do something with it.
64
00:02:18,667 --> 00:02:21,100
And maybe,
do some fuel injection,
65
00:02:21,100 --> 00:02:23,867
turn it into a Trans Am
that my wife's always wanted.
66
00:02:23,867 --> 00:02:25,133
Y'all ready to go
into Toy Box?
67
00:02:25,133 --> 00:02:27,500
[Shorty] Hey, Pork Chop,
how did you get your
"Pork Chop" name, man?
68
00:02:27,500 --> 00:02:29,166
Is that a big story
or a short story?
69
00:02:29,166 --> 00:02:30,166
-Little short story.
-[Shorty] All right.
70
00:02:30,166 --> 00:02:32,467
I was in the wrecking yard
business for years.
71
00:02:32,467 --> 00:02:34,667
And every time I'd make
a big deal,
72
00:02:34,667 --> 00:02:36,367
I'd run through
the office saying,
73
00:02:36,367 --> 00:02:37,667
"I'm rich, I'm rich!"
74
00:02:37,667 --> 00:02:39,266
And one of my
best friends, he said,
75
00:02:39,266 --> 00:02:41,800
"You squeal like a pork chop,
Pork Chop.
76
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:43,367
[all chuckling]
77
00:02:43,367 --> 00:02:45,500
That's how I got the name,
Pork Chop.
78
00:02:45,500 --> 00:02:47,033
[Joel] I knew
it was gonna be unique.
79
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,233
-Oh, damn.
-[Shorty] Nice.
80
00:02:50,767 --> 00:02:51,867
[Joel] Look at that.
81
00:02:51,867 --> 00:02:53,166
[Shorty] Pork Chop, you got
another Trans Am there.
82
00:02:53,166 --> 00:02:54,266
[Gary] I do.
83
00:02:54,266 --> 00:02:56,700
-That's a '77.
-'77.
84
00:02:56,700 --> 00:02:58,567
[Gary] This is my
little thumper.
85
00:02:58,567 --> 00:03:00,166
[engine starts]
86
00:03:02,100 --> 00:03:03,066
Nice.
87
00:03:04,166 --> 00:03:06,567
That's 400 Pontiac in it also.
88
00:03:06,567 --> 00:03:07,667
[Shorty] Man, I love it.
89
00:03:07,667 --> 00:03:10,066
Let's get on to the business
that y'all are here for.
90
00:03:10,066 --> 00:03:11,433
My bride's wagon.
91
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:13,767
Jeez!
92
00:03:13,767 --> 00:03:15,667
[Joel] Where's the rest of it,
Pork Chop?
93
00:03:15,667 --> 00:03:17,100
When we first got married,
94
00:03:17,100 --> 00:03:18,600
I asked her if she wanted
another GTO.
95
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,567
She said, "No, I'd really like
to have a nice little
convertible Firebird."
96
00:03:21,567 --> 00:03:23,200
My wife is the kind of gal,
97
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:24,967
if you give her a hot rod,
she's gonna drive it.
98
00:03:24,967 --> 00:03:26,467
She's gonna drive
the wheels off of it.
99
00:03:26,467 --> 00:03:28,367
We went and found
the '69 Firebird
100
00:03:28,367 --> 00:03:30,767
and we wanted to tribute it
to a Trans Am
101
00:03:30,767 --> 00:03:32,800
'cause she likes to look
of the Trans Am.
102
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:37,600
So, in 1969 they made
714 Trans Ams all together.
103
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,567
They only made eight
Trans Am convertibles.
104
00:03:39,567 --> 00:03:41,600
-Eight?
-They only made eight.
105
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,233
They made four four-speeds
and four automatics.
106
00:03:44,567 --> 00:03:45,467
Wow.
107
00:03:45,467 --> 00:03:47,066
Very sought after car.
108
00:03:47,066 --> 00:03:48,600
To buy a real one,
109
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,066
it would cost you
in the mid 1.5 million range.
110
00:03:52,066 --> 00:03:54,867
You're looking at $38,000
in this heap right here.
111
00:03:54,867 --> 00:03:57,567
We've had this car
to two other shops
112
00:03:57,567 --> 00:04:00,100
and it comes back
in worse condition every time.
113
00:04:00,100 --> 00:04:01,567
If a car has been
to other shops,
114
00:04:01,567 --> 00:04:03,967
the odds are that
there are some issues with it.
115
00:04:03,967 --> 00:04:06,567
I mean, obviously, you know,
I see what we have to do
and stuff,
116
00:04:06,567 --> 00:04:08,300
but I guess, we need
to talk to PG
117
00:04:08,300 --> 00:04:10,367
about redoing the whole
entire interior in it
118
00:04:10,367 --> 00:04:12,767
because he want it
to look like a Trans Am,
119
00:04:12,767 --> 00:04:14,200
then there's gonna
have to be white.
120
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,266
Yeah, we're gonna do
the white interior in it.
121
00:04:16,266 --> 00:04:19,266
A Trans Am
is a high end styling
and performance package
122
00:04:19,266 --> 00:04:20,700
offered for
the Pontiac Firebird.
123
00:04:20,700 --> 00:04:22,667
It features upgrades
to the body,
124
00:04:22,667 --> 00:04:24,300
interior and performance.
125
00:04:24,300 --> 00:04:25,834
I don't have to mark it
no more.
126
00:04:26,166 --> 00:04:27,100
I can see it.
127
00:04:27,100 --> 00:04:28,467
Do you got to start it
right away?
128
00:04:28,467 --> 00:04:30,567
[Gary] How many layers
do you think probably
is on this thing?
129
00:04:30,567 --> 00:04:31,867
[Shorty] I don't know, man.
130
00:04:31,867 --> 00:04:33,700
So, we're gonna get paint,
131
00:04:33,700 --> 00:04:35,266
we're gonna get interior
132
00:04:35,266 --> 00:04:37,300
and we're gonna do
some fuel injection.
133
00:04:37,300 --> 00:04:39,500
-It looks like a lot of body.
-This is enough.
134
00:04:39,500 --> 00:04:40,900
Good thing it doesn't have
a top on it.
135
00:04:40,900 --> 00:04:42,567
Oh, my God.
Yeah, thank the Lord.
136
00:04:42,567 --> 00:04:44,200
[chuckles]
137
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:45,300
Save you a little bit of time.
138
00:04:45,300 --> 00:04:46,467
[Shorty] I love
the car though.
139
00:04:46,467 --> 00:04:48,266
And I think that
when it's done,
140
00:04:48,266 --> 00:04:50,400
it's gonna be killer looking.
141
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:51,767
I mean, they made
a lot of Firebirds,
142
00:04:51,767 --> 00:04:54,400
but they only made
eight convertible Trans Ams.
143
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,000
What sets them apart
is mainly the paint job.
144
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,834
You know, the unique
color combinations.
145
00:05:09,567 --> 00:05:11,166
Let's see, let's check it out.
146
00:05:11,867 --> 00:05:13,967
What you bring in here? Wow.
147
00:05:13,967 --> 00:05:15,166
[Joe] That's a bird!
148
00:05:15,166 --> 00:05:17,000
[Shorty] It's a '69 Firebird
149
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,066
that Pork Chop,
150
00:05:18,066 --> 00:05:21,867
he wants to build for his wife
as a '69 Trans Am.
151
00:05:21,867 --> 00:05:23,300
But we're gonna do a clone
152
00:05:23,300 --> 00:05:26,166
from a '69 Firebird
to a '69 Trans Am.
153
00:05:26,166 --> 00:05:27,567
He said he will be here
154
00:05:27,567 --> 00:05:30,000
to make sure that, you know,
the lines and all.
155
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,700
That way if one of them
was crooked or not where
it needs to be,
156
00:05:33,700 --> 00:05:35,100
then it's on him, not me.
157
00:05:35,100 --> 00:05:36,867
It's been to several
other shops
158
00:05:36,867 --> 00:05:39,400
and he's hoping that
this will be the last stop.
159
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:40,900
[laughs]
160
00:05:40,900 --> 00:05:42,467
[PG] And you said
he's gonna come help?
161
00:05:42,467 --> 00:05:44,567
You know that costs more
when a customer helps.
162
00:05:44,567 --> 00:05:45,700
[Shorty] Well, that's what
we're gonna do.
163
00:05:45,700 --> 00:05:47,467
We're gonna double
the hourly rate
164
00:05:47,467 --> 00:05:48,734
when he comes to help.
165
00:05:53,700 --> 00:05:55,066
Okay, cut it!
166
00:05:55,066 --> 00:05:56,200
[Joel] Give it a push.
167
00:05:57,166 --> 00:06:00,467
Nothing screams
American muscle
like a '69 Firebird.
168
00:06:00,467 --> 00:06:02,266
[Joel] It's a little rough
as you can see.
169
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,000
[Shorty] It's a little rough.
170
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,300
You know, he does want
an original looking car,
171
00:06:06,300 --> 00:06:07,667
so everything white.
172
00:06:07,667 --> 00:06:10,400
It's got more bodywork
than anything.
173
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:11,467
My main concern right now
174
00:06:11,467 --> 00:06:13,367
is trying to get the panels
lined up
175
00:06:13,367 --> 00:06:14,433
and go from there.
176
00:06:15,300 --> 00:06:17,000
[Joel] Oh, my God.
177
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,400
-Joel, the belt is gone.
-Yeah, the belt is gone.
178
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,400
[Shorty] Everything is gone
off the front, man.
179
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,100
[Joel] Little stuff,
it ain't nothing big.
180
00:06:23,100 --> 00:06:25,166
[Terry] Carburetor
is literally just
sitting on there.
181
00:06:25,166 --> 00:06:27,166
-[Shorty] Does it?
-[Joel] That's a test fit.
182
00:06:27,166 --> 00:06:29,100
Well, the good thing
he doesn't want
to get too deep,
183
00:06:29,100 --> 00:06:30,800
so all you guys have to
do is clean it up,
184
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,066
make sure everything is good,
185
00:06:32,066 --> 00:06:33,600
put everything that's missing
back on it.
186
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,300
We're gonna be
reassembling the motor,
187
00:06:35,300 --> 00:06:37,166
so why not add
some fuel injection?
188
00:06:37,166 --> 00:06:39,166
I mean, you can't go wrong
with fuel injection.
189
00:06:39,166 --> 00:06:40,867
Who wants to be dealing
with the carburetor?
190
00:06:40,867 --> 00:06:42,567
We're in the millennium,
it's hot.
191
00:06:42,567 --> 00:06:44,300
You need something
that self-adjusts.
192
00:06:44,300 --> 00:06:45,767
Like you said, Joel,
most of the task
193
00:06:45,767 --> 00:06:47,567
is gonna be on us
over here at the body shop.
194
00:06:47,567 --> 00:06:50,467
[Joel] Who knows, man,
this car might have
a little demon in it.
195
00:06:50,467 --> 00:06:51,767
-We don't know.
-[laughs]
196
00:06:51,767 --> 00:06:53,567
I mean, for two shops
to give up...
197
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:55,934
We'll see, we'll find out.
198
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,100
[Shorty] We have a lot of work
ahead on this car.
199
00:07:00,100 --> 00:07:01,166
I mean, as you can see,
200
00:07:01,166 --> 00:07:02,500
look at the gap
on the fenders,
201
00:07:02,500 --> 00:07:04,166
and then see how the door
is falling down.
202
00:07:04,166 --> 00:07:05,700
It's a good half an inch
203
00:07:05,700 --> 00:07:07,000
or maybe even an inch.
204
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,266
I wish it was a little better.
205
00:07:09,266 --> 00:07:11,066
As you can see,
up here is maroon.
206
00:07:11,066 --> 00:07:13,467
This is an original piece
to the car,
207
00:07:13,467 --> 00:07:17,200
so I can tell that they
spliced the quarters
right here.
208
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:18,867
Not sure if they
overlap that or what.
209
00:07:18,867 --> 00:07:20,000
And the reason I can see that
210
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,000
is because I got
a mixture of fiberglass
and some filler.
211
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,800
Having said that,
it's the same throughout
the whole car.
212
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,367
At least, the car runs.
213
00:07:28,367 --> 00:07:30,066
We're gonna do
custom interior,
214
00:07:30,066 --> 00:07:31,367
convertible top,
215
00:07:31,367 --> 00:07:32,333
fuel injection,
216
00:07:32,333 --> 00:07:34,166
we're gonna finish it up
with a custom paint job
217
00:07:34,166 --> 00:07:35,133
and the racing stripes.
218
00:07:35,133 --> 00:07:37,266
Yeah, you know what,
this car might be a clone,
219
00:07:37,266 --> 00:07:39,567
but I think it should look
pretty good.
220
00:07:39,567 --> 00:07:40,967
And to the naked eye,
221
00:07:40,967 --> 00:07:42,500
you're not gonna be able
to tell that it's a clone.
222
00:07:42,500 --> 00:07:44,467
You're gonna think
it's a real one.
223
00:07:44,467 --> 00:07:47,100
The color on this interior
is gonna be white seats
224
00:07:47,100 --> 00:07:48,667
and white top.
225
00:07:48,667 --> 00:07:51,367
I don't think it's supposed
to have white carpet.
226
00:07:51,367 --> 00:07:54,700
The dash looks original
and console is original,
227
00:07:54,700 --> 00:07:57,000
so we can knock it out
of the ballpark.
228
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:58,367
Can you guys give me a hand?
229
00:07:58,367 --> 00:07:59,667
Yes, sir.
230
00:07:59,667 --> 00:08:02,567
I think it's time to put
the score over there
in the dirty area,
231
00:08:02,567 --> 00:08:04,367
so we can kind of start
going over it
232
00:08:04,367 --> 00:08:06,100
and see what we got to do
as far as body.
233
00:08:06,100 --> 00:08:07,266
-Okay.
-Okay.
234
00:08:09,166 --> 00:08:11,567
Joe and Matt are here
to help me take
this car apart.
235
00:08:11,567 --> 00:08:13,367
Joe is my lead body man.
236
00:08:13,367 --> 00:08:15,767
And Matt, well, he's new,
but he's a fast learner.
237
00:08:15,767 --> 00:08:18,467
All right, now go ahead
and cut it all the way.
238
00:08:18,467 --> 00:08:20,500
You're gonna get you some
exercise right now.
239
00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:21,900
Just from first glance,
I've noticed
240
00:08:21,900 --> 00:08:24,700
that it's got some fiberglass
bodywork put on it.
241
00:08:24,700 --> 00:08:26,867
[Shorty] It might be easier
to adjust the doors
242
00:08:26,867 --> 00:08:28,600
if we go ahead and take
the fenders off,
243
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,166
and then adjust the doors,
244
00:08:30,166 --> 00:08:31,667
and then put the fenders
back on it.
245
00:08:31,667 --> 00:08:32,767
Yeah, I think so
246
00:08:32,767 --> 00:08:35,567
'cause it looks like
the bushes are a little
wore out.
247
00:08:35,567 --> 00:08:36,533
[Shorty] All right.
248
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:39,767
If there's no one here
to help,
249
00:08:39,767 --> 00:08:42,066
like the hood doesn't
stay up right now,
250
00:08:42,066 --> 00:08:43,467
it's only the two of us.
251
00:08:43,467 --> 00:08:45,667
So, then, you know,
you hold the back, right?
252
00:08:45,667 --> 00:08:47,066
-[Joe] Right.
-[Shorty] Okay.
253
00:08:49,467 --> 00:08:50,600
And then, you give it to him.
254
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:51,600
We're gonna use the shoulder.
255
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,066
-[Shorty] You see?
-[Matt] Yeah.
256
00:08:53,066 --> 00:08:53,967
[Shorty] You see right there.
257
00:08:53,967 --> 00:08:56,266
Now, I can relax
and hold it with my hand.
258
00:08:56,266 --> 00:08:57,100
Go ahead and remove it.
259
00:08:57,100 --> 00:08:58,567
-[Joe] Yep.
-[Shorty] All right.
260
00:08:58,567 --> 00:09:00,100
Let's get the hood,
261
00:09:00,100 --> 00:09:01,634
you put it over there
on the stand.
262
00:09:04,667 --> 00:09:06,400
-Line it out.
-Yep.
263
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,166
What I've seen so far
that the car majorly
needs in my eyes
264
00:09:09,166 --> 00:09:11,867
is that it needs a lot
of the panels to be adjusted.
265
00:09:11,867 --> 00:09:13,867
The panels are all out
of whack right now,
266
00:09:13,867 --> 00:09:16,133
and some of the gaps
are way off.
267
00:09:16,767 --> 00:09:18,467
-They're very loose.
-[Matt] Yeah.
268
00:09:18,467 --> 00:09:21,767
I mean, it's not, I'm assuming
they did it on purpose.
269
00:09:21,767 --> 00:09:25,467
I need to get in there
and first, check the bushes
on the doors
270
00:09:25,467 --> 00:09:26,400
and stuff like that
271
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,467
to make sure they're
good enough to use
272
00:09:28,467 --> 00:09:30,166
or not just replaced
or put brand new.
273
00:09:30,166 --> 00:09:32,400
Yeah, I think there's
something living in there.
274
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:33,967
-[Shorty] Come on now.
-[Joe laughs]
275
00:09:33,967 --> 00:09:35,367
Living rent free, man.
276
00:09:35,367 --> 00:09:37,000
Oh [bleep]
277
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,767
I mean, it looks pretty fresh.
278
00:09:38,767 --> 00:09:40,934
-[Joe] I ain't scared.
-[Shorty] Oh, my God.
279
00:09:41,567 --> 00:09:42,834
Put it on the floor, man.
280
00:09:43,367 --> 00:09:44,400
Oh, look at that, man.
281
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:48,166
That was...
That's a condo, man.
282
00:09:48,166 --> 00:09:49,767
We messed up his condo, man.
283
00:09:49,767 --> 00:09:52,166
[Matt] Yeah, you never know
where these cars have been
sitting out in the country
284
00:09:52,166 --> 00:09:54,200
and stuff likes
to crawl up in there
285
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:55,500
and get out of the elements.
286
00:09:55,500 --> 00:09:57,166
so welcome to Texas.
287
00:09:57,166 --> 00:10:00,634
Matt is new, he comes
and helps up around the shop
with whatever he can.
288
00:10:02,100 --> 00:10:05,100
[laughing hysterically]
289
00:10:05,100 --> 00:10:07,433
I grabbed something,
I grabbed something.
290
00:10:07,867 --> 00:10:09,333
But, man, is he jumpy?
291
00:10:09,867 --> 00:10:10,800
[Joe] What you got, man?
292
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:12,367
[Matt] I don't know,
it was like underneath.
293
00:10:12,367 --> 00:10:13,767
It might just
have been a wire.
294
00:10:13,767 --> 00:10:15,467
-[laughs]
-[Joe] Let me see.
295
00:10:15,467 --> 00:10:16,867
[Matt] It was,
like, underneath.
296
00:10:16,867 --> 00:10:18,467
[Joe] It's just a wire.
297
00:10:18,467 --> 00:10:20,266
Just a wire, false alarm, man.
298
00:10:20,266 --> 00:10:21,734
[both laugh]
299
00:10:25,567 --> 00:10:27,667
-Man, look at this
over here, man.
-Que pasa, man.
300
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,066
[groaning] Oh, man!
301
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:32,400
[Joe] Usually in all
the older vehicles,
302
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,767
this is a very,
very troublesome spot
303
00:10:34,767 --> 00:10:37,000
and the wire
tends to always sit there.
304
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,000
[Shorty] I'll tell you what,
305
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,166
let's just go ahead
306
00:10:39,166 --> 00:10:41,266
-and concentrate
on the bodywork right now.
-[Joe] Okay.
307
00:10:41,266 --> 00:10:42,767
You know, get her lines good,
308
00:10:42,767 --> 00:10:44,467
and then we'll fix that,
309
00:10:44,467 --> 00:10:46,166
and then we'll put
the fenders back on it
310
00:10:46,166 --> 00:10:47,767
and finish lining it up.
How's that?
311
00:10:47,767 --> 00:10:48,800
-All right, sounds good.
-You wanna do that?
312
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,266
-Yes, sir.
-All right.
313
00:10:50,266 --> 00:10:51,433
Let's do it.
314
00:10:55,467 --> 00:10:57,767
[Shorty] This car has been
worked on quite a bit.
315
00:10:57,767 --> 00:11:01,100
It even has new quarters on it
been replaced.
316
00:11:01,100 --> 00:11:03,266
I noticed the seam
is somewhere around here.
317
00:11:03,266 --> 00:11:05,667
The plan is not to take it
all the way down.
318
00:11:05,667 --> 00:11:07,667
That will be
a monumental task.
319
00:11:07,667 --> 00:11:09,667
What I wanna do
is I wanna take down
320
00:11:09,667 --> 00:11:10,867
as much as I can
321
00:11:10,867 --> 00:11:13,300
and leave as little
of this as possible.
322
00:11:13,300 --> 00:11:15,000
And hopefully,
it has enough material
323
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:16,467
to give me a straight panel.
324
00:11:16,467 --> 00:11:17,467
That's the plan.
325
00:11:25,567 --> 00:11:26,767
He did say the other day
326
00:11:26,767 --> 00:11:28,367
that he knew how to do it all.
327
00:11:28,367 --> 00:11:29,867
It's not true.
328
00:11:29,867 --> 00:11:31,567
That is not true.
329
00:11:31,567 --> 00:11:34,667
Hey, I'll probably be
over here for another
two or three hours, okay?
330
00:11:34,667 --> 00:11:36,100
-I think so, too.
-You think so?
331
00:11:36,100 --> 00:11:38,333
-Oh, I know so.
-[laughs]
332
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,166
We're making really
good progress on the Firebird.
333
00:11:50,166 --> 00:11:51,767
Terry took care
of the hood for me.
334
00:11:51,767 --> 00:11:52,967
And now, I'm just
trying to finish up
335
00:11:52,967 --> 00:11:54,867
a few rusted spots on the car.
336
00:11:54,867 --> 00:11:56,100
Lots of work to be done
337
00:11:56,100 --> 00:11:59,300
before we get to hand it
over to Pork Chops' wife.
338
00:11:59,300 --> 00:12:01,266
[Terry] What's going on,
Short Dog, you need some
help with that?
339
00:12:01,266 --> 00:12:02,367
Oh, damn, Terry.
340
00:12:02,367 --> 00:12:04,266
-You are right on time, bro.
-Am I?
341
00:12:04,266 --> 00:12:06,300
The spoiler is obviously
one of the unique features
342
00:12:06,300 --> 00:12:08,100
that makes the car,
the Firebird,
343
00:12:08,100 --> 00:12:09,367
turned into a Trans Am.
344
00:12:09,367 --> 00:12:10,467
Before we put it on,
345
00:12:10,467 --> 00:12:12,767
we need to mock it up
and get fitting just right.
346
00:12:12,767 --> 00:12:14,667
It didn't come with
instructions or anything.
347
00:12:14,667 --> 00:12:16,367
-It didn't?
-No.
348
00:12:16,367 --> 00:12:21,100
I can see that the holes
are gonna be like on top
of this right here.
349
00:12:21,100 --> 00:12:22,967
All we can do is drill it,
350
00:12:22,967 --> 00:12:25,900
and then it looks like,
we might have to cut
into here.
351
00:12:25,900 --> 00:12:29,266
-And then do a bigger hole.
-Right.
352
00:12:29,266 --> 00:12:31,967
So the nut
will set up in recess
353
00:12:31,967 --> 00:12:34,000
up on the inner
structure, right,
354
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,233
and they'll set flat.
355
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,333
[machine whirring]
356
00:12:41,867 --> 00:12:43,033
Let's see what we got.
357
00:12:45,266 --> 00:12:47,266
I'm thinking that we make
a little hole,
358
00:12:47,266 --> 00:12:48,834
-sort of like this.
-Mm-hmm.
359
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,467
We're gonna use this tool,
360
00:12:51,467 --> 00:12:53,767
so you can get it in there
and make that hole.
361
00:12:53,767 --> 00:12:56,100
Essentially, what we want
is a nice teardrop,
362
00:12:56,100 --> 00:12:57,600
but we want enough space
363
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,734
for the head of the bolt
to go in there.
364
00:13:08,166 --> 00:13:09,233
That's beautiful.
365
00:13:10,300 --> 00:13:11,367
Alright, here we go.
366
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:13,634
[machine whirring]
367
00:13:14,867 --> 00:13:16,266
[Shorty] See,
how it has to be,
368
00:13:16,266 --> 00:13:18,100
you know kind of a teardrop.
369
00:13:18,100 --> 00:13:21,100
That way the screw
will go in straight,
370
00:13:21,100 --> 00:13:22,600
just like this.
371
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,467
So, you need room
to turn to the head
372
00:13:25,467 --> 00:13:27,767
and put a socket in there
at the same time.
373
00:13:27,767 --> 00:13:29,667
I think Lamb Chop
would approve.
374
00:13:29,667 --> 00:13:30,934
[Terry chuckles]
375
00:13:31,500 --> 00:13:33,100
Lamb Chop
because he slimmed up.
376
00:13:33,100 --> 00:13:34,333
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
377
00:13:42,266 --> 00:13:44,100
I think it looks like
a Trans Am already.
378
00:13:44,100 --> 00:13:45,800
I think it does, too.
Looks fast.
379
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,767
-It looks like it's going
200 miles just standing there.
-[Shorty laughing] Yeah.
380
00:13:52,100 --> 00:13:54,600
In case you guys are wondering
I have here a surfboard.
381
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,367
This is a project
382
00:13:56,367 --> 00:14:00,166
for Surfers
Healing Foundation.
383
00:14:00,166 --> 00:14:02,266
What they do is they take
kids with autism
384
00:14:02,266 --> 00:14:03,567
out to the ocean and surf
385
00:14:03,567 --> 00:14:05,767
and it's really therapeutic
for them.
386
00:14:05,767 --> 00:14:09,000
So far, the process,
we're at step one.
387
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:09,900
I flaked it out.
388
00:14:09,900 --> 00:14:10,867
As you guys can see,
389
00:14:10,867 --> 00:14:14,066
it's like a gazillion
little diamonds on it
390
00:14:14,066 --> 00:14:17,600
that just come alive,
you know, especially
when the sun hits it.
391
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,400
So, this is gonna be
my foundation
392
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,867
to the custom work
that I'm gonna do on it.
393
00:14:21,867 --> 00:14:23,367
I'm planning on doing
some flames
394
00:14:23,367 --> 00:14:26,367
'cause, you know, a surfboard
can't be a surfboard
without any flames.
395
00:14:26,367 --> 00:14:29,166
And it cannot not have
water droplets,
396
00:14:29,166 --> 00:14:30,567
you know, the water effect.
397
00:14:30,567 --> 00:14:34,000
So, I'm gonna put
on the water effects
somewhere around on it.
398
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:35,967
All the colors are gonna be
done in candies.
399
00:14:36,700 --> 00:14:38,767
So, it's gonna be nice
and bright
400
00:14:38,767 --> 00:14:41,100
and just hopefully,
really cool.
401
00:14:41,100 --> 00:14:43,300
It's just a great feeling
402
00:14:43,300 --> 00:14:44,500
because in the end of the day,
403
00:14:44,500 --> 00:14:45,400
once it's done,
404
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:46,500
they're gonna auction it off,
405
00:14:46,500 --> 00:14:48,467
and hopefully,
make really good money
406
00:14:48,467 --> 00:14:50,166
to benefit his foundation.
407
00:14:50,166 --> 00:14:53,000
He says that it just
lights up their face, man.
408
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,500
You know, just getting
in the water,
409
00:14:54,500 --> 00:14:56,166
and then getting
on that surfboard.
410
00:15:00,767 --> 00:15:02,433
[upbeat instrumental
rock music playing]
411
00:15:03,700 --> 00:15:06,000
[PG] I'm pulling out
the old interior out.
412
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,066
We got to strip it all down,
paint 'em,
413
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:09,700
change the foam.
414
00:15:09,700 --> 00:15:12,000
We're trying to keep
as original as we can,
415
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,000
so we're going black
with carpet on this Trans Am.
416
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,066
There's something in here.
417
00:15:18,300 --> 00:15:19,400
Souvenir.
418
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,667
Is that a Lamb Chop?
419
00:15:21,667 --> 00:15:23,567
Probably could put it
right here on the console.
420
00:15:27,567 --> 00:15:28,734
Hey, Joe, Matt.
421
00:15:34,100 --> 00:15:35,567
What do you think?
422
00:15:35,567 --> 00:15:37,266
[Matt] We got some rat turd.
423
00:15:37,266 --> 00:15:39,700
-[Joe] Uh-oh.
-[Matt] We still got
a rat around here.
424
00:15:39,700 --> 00:15:41,700
See if we can get this out.
425
00:15:41,700 --> 00:15:43,734
[Joe grunts] I got it.
426
00:15:48,367 --> 00:15:49,433
-[Joe] Ready?
-Yeah.
427
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,500
There it goes.
428
00:15:52,500 --> 00:15:55,433
Maybe, it just needs
a little bit of oiling.
[laughs]
429
00:15:56,266 --> 00:15:58,467
You think, we got a good
charge on the battery?
430
00:15:58,467 --> 00:16:00,500
-[Matt] I don't know.
-[PG] Sound like it's--
431
00:16:00,500 --> 00:16:02,367
-[Matt] Dragging a little bit.
-[PG] Dragging.
432
00:16:02,367 --> 00:16:05,166
Looks like we got a condo
like Joe said.
433
00:16:05,166 --> 00:16:06,266
[Joe] Another condo.
434
00:16:06,266 --> 00:16:08,233
-[PG] Condo apartments.
-[Joe] Free rent.
435
00:16:09,100 --> 00:16:10,867
Apartments of rats.
436
00:16:10,867 --> 00:16:12,567
You could go ahead
and close it down.
437
00:16:12,567 --> 00:16:13,800
What's up, PG?
438
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,100
I came in to get
a look at the car,
439
00:16:17,100 --> 00:16:20,166
to talk to Pedro about
doing some interior on it.
440
00:16:20,166 --> 00:16:22,200
Where the seats at, Pedro?
441
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:23,967
So, what it looks like to me,
442
00:16:23,967 --> 00:16:27,100
you're gonna
have to get this painted.
443
00:16:27,100 --> 00:16:29,266
Get the floorboard
painted, too.
444
00:16:29,266 --> 00:16:31,066
And then, as you can see
right now,
445
00:16:31,066 --> 00:16:33,000
this foam right here,
446
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,367
I wouldn't recommend
using it again.
447
00:16:35,367 --> 00:16:37,767
Is there any way that maybe
we could bolster this up
448
00:16:37,767 --> 00:16:39,066
because Shannon
is a little short.
449
00:16:39,066 --> 00:16:41,800
She's wanting to make sure
she could see over
steering wheel.
450
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,500
Well, my wife,
she's a little bit
vertically challenged.
451
00:16:44,500 --> 00:16:46,367
And I'll probably get
in trouble for saying that,
452
00:16:46,367 --> 00:16:47,467
but I love you.
453
00:16:47,467 --> 00:16:50,066
So, the back seats look like
they're good.
454
00:16:50,066 --> 00:16:51,100
They're in pretty good shape.
455
00:16:51,100 --> 00:16:53,467
We'll have new foam
and new backing.
456
00:16:53,467 --> 00:16:55,066
The frames
and paint them, right?
457
00:16:55,066 --> 00:16:56,066
[Shorty] Yeah.
458
00:16:56,066 --> 00:16:57,233
Clean 'em up and paint 'em.
459
00:17:04,667 --> 00:17:06,166
[Gary] What's going on,
Short Dog?
460
00:17:06,767 --> 00:17:07,667
How's it going, Pork Chop?
461
00:17:07,667 --> 00:17:08,967
[Gary] Man, hey...
462
00:17:08,967 --> 00:17:11,400
Run across
this at the shop
463
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,266
heard a '69
had a hood tach on it.
464
00:17:14,266 --> 00:17:16,166
I'm sure she'd be
really excited
465
00:17:16,166 --> 00:17:20,800
if we got this hood tach
on her Firebird,
Shannon just...
466
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,100
She really liked the hood tach
part of her GTO.
467
00:17:24,100 --> 00:17:27,166
So, I thought it will be
a nice little surprise
for her.
468
00:17:27,166 --> 00:17:30,100
Now, you know,
that this not being a Trans Am
469
00:17:30,100 --> 00:17:33,867
that this hood is probably
not gonna be equipped
down at the bottom,
470
00:17:33,867 --> 00:17:36,567
so we're probably gonna
have to go into the structure
a little bit.
471
00:17:36,567 --> 00:17:38,000
Oh, you're the man,
472
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,867
I appreciate you taking
all the time you're taking
with me, young man.
473
00:17:40,867 --> 00:17:45,467
You know, I'm not sure,
even if it was a '69 Trans Am,
474
00:17:45,467 --> 00:17:48,066
I'm not sure if it would
have had a tach on it,
475
00:17:48,066 --> 00:17:49,400
but we're not going to argue.
476
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:54,367
The tach has a recessed shape
down that goes toward
the bottom.
477
00:17:54,367 --> 00:17:56,500
So, we need to cut a hole
on the hood,
478
00:17:56,500 --> 00:17:58,100
so that can go
all the way down
479
00:17:58,100 --> 00:18:01,533
and therefore, the tach
can sit flat on the hood.
480
00:18:04,367 --> 00:18:06,100
It's got two little
studs here.
481
00:18:06,100 --> 00:18:07,934
I'm gonna go ahead
and drill those.
482
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,033
It looks nice and straight...
483
00:18:18,867 --> 00:18:20,367
except whenever
they're driving.
484
00:18:21,500 --> 00:18:23,467
You know, they'll just be
cruising along
485
00:18:23,467 --> 00:18:25,066
watching that RPM.
486
00:18:34,266 --> 00:18:35,700
What's going on, Joel?
487
00:18:35,700 --> 00:18:37,166
[Joel] Man just come to see
488
00:18:37,166 --> 00:18:39,066
what the beast
is looking like, man.
489
00:18:39,066 --> 00:18:42,166
Well, you know
this car is no longer
the Firebird, Joel.
490
00:18:42,166 --> 00:18:43,200
Uh-oh.
491
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,567
It's not a Firebird no more,
it's a Chupacabras.
492
00:18:45,567 --> 00:18:46,967
[chuckles]
493
00:18:46,967 --> 00:18:49,166
The Chupacabras is supposed
to be a creature
494
00:18:49,166 --> 00:18:51,767
that comes out
and eats animals,
495
00:18:51,767 --> 00:18:52,900
especially goats.
496
00:18:52,900 --> 00:18:54,533
You know, what was under
the front seat?
497
00:18:54,767 --> 00:18:55,767
No.
498
00:18:57,967 --> 00:18:58,934
Nah!
499
00:18:59,567 --> 00:19:00,600
For real?
500
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:02,266
-Are you for real?
-It was under the front seat.
501
00:19:02,266 --> 00:19:03,767
I don't even know
if Pork Chop knew.
502
00:19:03,767 --> 00:19:05,266
If you found
this inside the car,
503
00:19:05,266 --> 00:19:06,834
what am I going
to find in the motor?
504
00:19:07,467 --> 00:19:09,000
I hope, nothing.
505
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,000
Your task is gonna be
to put the front end
506
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:13,266
you know, whatever is missing.
507
00:19:13,266 --> 00:19:15,266
We're gonna do
some fuel injection.
508
00:19:15,266 --> 00:19:16,900
Fuel Injection, AC,
509
00:19:16,900 --> 00:19:20,467
clean it up, make sure we got
a good solid running motor.
510
00:19:20,467 --> 00:19:23,333
And then, just basically
make it look pretty
like you always do.
511
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,400
Damn, man,
it's gonna be crazy, man.
512
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,533
This is gonna be
one badass Chupacabra.
513
00:19:32,467 --> 00:19:34,066
When we took the front end
off the car,
514
00:19:34,066 --> 00:19:36,300
we found a few
little rust areas.
515
00:19:36,300 --> 00:19:37,266
We got it knocked out,
516
00:19:37,266 --> 00:19:39,767
it wasn't a big deal
to get it buttoned up.
517
00:19:39,767 --> 00:19:42,166
Now, that the bodywork
is all done on the car,
518
00:19:42,166 --> 00:19:44,634
it's time to get
into the booth
and put it in primer.
519
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:52,600
What we're gonna do,
520
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,066
we're gonna build it up
a little bit.
521
00:19:54,066 --> 00:19:56,066
We're gonna put a few coats,
probably three,
522
00:19:56,066 --> 00:19:58,166
and then we'll take it back
and put some guide coat on it
523
00:19:58,166 --> 00:20:00,433
and water sand,
then get ready for paint.
524
00:20:04,367 --> 00:20:05,667
I'm mixing up my primer.
525
00:20:05,667 --> 00:20:07,667
We're gonna put
a KD 3,000 on it
526
00:20:07,667 --> 00:20:10,767
which... this product
you can use it
as a high build,
527
00:20:10,767 --> 00:20:12,266
you can use it
as a regular primer
528
00:20:12,266 --> 00:20:13,400
and also a sealer.
529
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,100
That's what the good thing
about this product is.
530
00:20:16,100 --> 00:20:18,467
I'm putting it in my gun
and commence the cooking.
531
00:20:36,867 --> 00:20:38,567
We got the cuckoo out.
532
00:20:38,567 --> 00:20:40,300
We're fixing to have
a block party.
533
00:20:40,300 --> 00:20:41,567
I'm gonna sound this horn,
534
00:20:41,567 --> 00:20:43,100
we're gonna get
the Chupacabras over here.
535
00:20:43,100 --> 00:20:44,567
We're all gonna
start sanding out.
536
00:20:44,567 --> 00:20:48,934
[horns honking]
537
00:20:50,367 --> 00:20:51,567
All right, all right.
538
00:20:51,567 --> 00:20:53,166
Just a scuff on it
539
00:20:53,166 --> 00:20:54,867
until you get all that
black off of it.
540
00:20:54,867 --> 00:20:57,166
Until it all looks like
nice and gray.
541
00:20:57,166 --> 00:20:58,467
Okay.
542
00:20:58,467 --> 00:21:01,667
In today's menu
we're going to serve
fajitas, chicken, beef.
543
00:21:01,667 --> 00:21:02,967
That's some beans and rice.
544
00:21:07,867 --> 00:21:09,300
[Shorty] You want
to get your car done,
545
00:21:09,300 --> 00:21:10,200
this is what you do.
546
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:11,767
You invite a bunch
of friends over
547
00:21:11,767 --> 00:21:12,967
and then you cook for 'em.
548
00:21:12,967 --> 00:21:15,166
Yeah, I think Sharon is gonna
be amazed by this car, man.
549
00:21:15,166 --> 00:21:17,266
I'm glad I'm putting
a little bit of work
in it for her.
550
00:21:17,266 --> 00:21:18,634
[oil sizzling]
551
00:21:26,700 --> 00:21:27,700
What's up, guys?
552
00:21:27,700 --> 00:21:29,367
Since you guys
had a long day at work,
553
00:21:29,367 --> 00:21:30,867
so we're gonna
play some Loteria.
554
00:21:30,867 --> 00:21:32,700
-All right time.
-Time for Loteria, guys.
555
00:21:32,700 --> 00:21:33,834
Where's Wayne?
556
00:21:34,667 --> 00:21:35,667
[Christina] You get
the honors.
557
00:21:35,667 --> 00:21:37,700
-[laughs]
-Why me?
558
00:21:37,700 --> 00:21:39,100
So, how do we play this?
559
00:21:39,100 --> 00:21:41,333
[Christina] It's kinda like
a Mexican Bingo.
560
00:21:44,367 --> 00:21:45,333
Oh!
561
00:21:46,266 --> 00:21:48,367
It's a sign, red.
562
00:21:48,367 --> 00:21:49,467
Red flag.
563
00:21:49,467 --> 00:21:50,867
How do you say it in Spanish?
564
00:21:50,867 --> 00:21:52,100
You can say, "El sol."
565
00:21:52,100 --> 00:21:53,467
El sol.
566
00:21:53,467 --> 00:21:55,233
-Sol.
- [all laughing]
567
00:21:56,266 --> 00:21:58,066
Oh, La Chalupa.
568
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:00,400
Like, a tostada.
569
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,166
[all laughing]
570
00:22:03,166 --> 00:22:05,266
La pera.
571
00:22:05,266 --> 00:22:06,900
-[all laughing]
-It's a pear.
572
00:22:06,900 --> 00:22:08,367
La pera.
573
00:22:08,367 --> 00:22:10,166
Bingo, bingo.
574
00:22:10,166 --> 00:22:13,000
[all exclaiming]
575
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,100
We made some really good
progress on the Firebird,
576
00:22:16,100 --> 00:22:18,233
so we should be getting
it in the booth pretty soon.
577
00:22:18,967 --> 00:22:20,500
See some color?
578
00:22:20,500 --> 00:22:22,367
-See some color, Joel.
-All right.
579
00:22:22,767 --> 00:22:23,734
Yes, sir.
580
00:22:26,166 --> 00:22:27,133
Cut.
581
00:22:29,767 --> 00:22:31,100
We're working on our '69,
582
00:22:31,100 --> 00:22:32,567
but soon to be Trans Am.
583
00:22:32,567 --> 00:22:33,667
I'm mixing up the blue.
584
00:22:33,667 --> 00:22:36,367
You know, these cars
were iconic for their color.
585
00:22:36,367 --> 00:22:38,667
This is a period correct blue.
586
00:22:38,667 --> 00:22:41,767
I mean, as much as modern
computers can give us,
587
00:22:41,767 --> 00:22:44,166
for now we're going to be
doing the blue Insert.
588
00:22:44,166 --> 00:22:46,634
So, all of this back here
will be blue.
589
00:22:49,867 --> 00:22:51,667
We did a lot of research
590
00:22:51,667 --> 00:22:54,100
to get the white
that this car was
591
00:22:54,100 --> 00:22:56,600
or the Trans Ams
were back in '69.
592
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:57,900
So, it's got a lot
of white in it.
593
00:22:57,900 --> 00:22:59,266
We needed black.
594
00:22:59,266 --> 00:23:01,567
Then, our next color
is the yellow oxide.
595
00:23:01,567 --> 00:23:04,867
And then, the last color
is a red oxide,
596
00:23:04,867 --> 00:23:05,934
hardly nothing.
597
00:23:06,667 --> 00:23:08,767
All right, look,
we're making some eggs.
598
00:23:08,767 --> 00:23:10,467
We made some eggs
in my kitchen.
599
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,600
[Shorty] After painting
the blue on the back insert
of the Trans Am,
600
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,300
now it's time to paint
all the rest of the parts,
601
00:23:30,300 --> 00:23:32,066
so we can get
the car assembled.
602
00:23:32,066 --> 00:23:34,233
-What up, Short-Dog?
-Hey, man.
603
00:23:36,300 --> 00:23:37,567
I see some blue.
604
00:23:38,367 --> 00:23:39,500
I see some white.
605
00:23:39,500 --> 00:23:41,467
When I walked
in the paint booth
and seen that Trans Am,
606
00:23:41,467 --> 00:23:45,500
I was like, "Man, this thing
is gonna look really good."
607
00:23:45,500 --> 00:23:48,567
It's slick, the body lines
suddenly appeared, you know,
608
00:23:48,567 --> 00:23:50,900
and it's gonna look nice.
609
00:23:50,900 --> 00:23:52,700
Maybe we have to stick
a fork in this bird
610
00:23:52,700 --> 00:23:54,100
when it's gonna be done.
611
00:23:54,100 --> 00:23:55,266
[Shorty] Hell, yeah.
612
00:23:55,266 --> 00:23:57,166
[Joel] Not yet,
but it's close.
613
00:23:57,166 --> 00:23:58,266
[Joe] We're getting close.
614
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:06,767
No rust eating through it.
615
00:24:06,767 --> 00:24:09,100
There's minimal surface for us
here and there,
616
00:24:09,100 --> 00:24:13,333
but it's pretty solid
for a '69.
617
00:24:17,100 --> 00:24:19,100
-Doing all right?
-Yep.
618
00:24:19,100 --> 00:24:21,300
You didn't find any goodies
or anything, right?
619
00:24:21,300 --> 00:24:22,567
No.
620
00:24:22,567 --> 00:24:24,166
You know, I found a skull
621
00:24:24,166 --> 00:24:25,767
that go... the Chupacabra.
622
00:24:25,767 --> 00:24:28,567
[both laugh]
623
00:24:28,567 --> 00:24:32,100
Yeah, we named
this car, Chupacabras.
624
00:24:32,100 --> 00:24:33,967
A lot of stuff been
going on behind.
625
00:24:33,967 --> 00:24:36,066
That sounds like
a curse over that car.
626
00:24:36,066 --> 00:24:37,233
I know it.
627
00:24:37,233 --> 00:24:40,033
So, I don't know
if this car is cursed
with the Chupacabras.
628
00:24:40,467 --> 00:24:41,667
Caballito, Noel.
629
00:24:41,667 --> 00:24:44,300
So, I'm gonna do a little bit
of this horse stance
630
00:24:44,300 --> 00:24:45,967
to get rid of this bad spirit.
631
00:24:46,467 --> 00:24:48,200
-Horsie.
-Look.
632
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,066
That's how the horse
would dance.
633
00:24:51,100 --> 00:24:54,233
[laughs]
634
00:25:01,767 --> 00:25:03,700
So, we're stripping
down the seats,
635
00:25:03,700 --> 00:25:06,300
and we're gonna paint
the seat frames.
636
00:25:06,300 --> 00:25:08,100
And for Pork Chop's wife,
637
00:25:08,100 --> 00:25:09,567
she's a little bit smaller,
638
00:25:09,567 --> 00:25:11,367
so for the seat
on the driver's side,
639
00:25:11,367 --> 00:25:13,166
we're adding a little bit
more cushion,
640
00:25:13,166 --> 00:25:15,667
so she could see
above the steering wheel
641
00:25:15,667 --> 00:25:17,367
and drive more comfortably.
642
00:25:17,367 --> 00:25:21,066
And we're changing the vinyl
to white for a Trans Am look.
643
00:25:24,667 --> 00:25:26,433
It's starting to look like
a Trans Am.
644
00:25:27,166 --> 00:25:29,834
I think this white
came out real good.
645
00:25:31,767 --> 00:25:34,667
What's going on over here
on this Chupacabras?
646
00:25:34,667 --> 00:25:36,100
It's sucking the life
out of me.
647
00:25:36,100 --> 00:25:37,867
Well, that's what
Chupacabras do.
648
00:25:37,867 --> 00:25:38,867
You keep on
working on this thing,
649
00:25:38,867 --> 00:25:39,867
I'm gonna come in
in the morning
650
00:25:39,867 --> 00:25:40,967
and you're gonna
be disappeared,
651
00:25:40,967 --> 00:25:42,367
you're gonna be gone.
652
00:25:42,367 --> 00:25:43,500
Joel is working
on the Firebird.
653
00:25:43,500 --> 00:25:44,967
Right now,
he's working on the wiring
654
00:25:44,967 --> 00:25:46,567
and trying
to get that situated
655
00:25:46,567 --> 00:25:47,867
before we put
the fenders on it.
656
00:25:47,867 --> 00:25:48,900
Do as much as he can,
657
00:25:48,900 --> 00:25:50,166
so the fenders
won't get in his way.
658
00:25:50,166 --> 00:25:51,266
Once he does that,
659
00:25:51,266 --> 00:25:53,000
we build the front end,
put the hood back on it,
660
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:53,934
and work on the stripes.
661
00:25:56,367 --> 00:25:57,533
[Gary] What's going on, Joel?
662
00:25:58,166 --> 00:25:59,266
What's up, Chop?
663
00:25:59,266 --> 00:26:00,800
Man, living the dream.
664
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:01,967
What are you working on?
665
00:26:01,967 --> 00:26:03,767
-I'm working on your dream.
-Yeah.
666
00:26:03,767 --> 00:26:06,667
-So, you brought me
a gas tank?
-I did, I did.
667
00:26:06,667 --> 00:26:08,166
Let's bust it out,
let's look at it.
668
00:26:08,166 --> 00:26:09,166
Let's look at it.
669
00:26:13,266 --> 00:26:15,100
Pork Chop,
this is a regular gas tank.
670
00:26:15,100 --> 00:26:16,000
Yes, sir.
671
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:17,567
We're going fuel injected.
672
00:26:17,567 --> 00:26:19,166
Where am I supposed to
put my return at?
673
00:26:20,667 --> 00:26:22,066
Um...
674
00:26:22,066 --> 00:26:24,467
Usually, on
the fuel injection version,
675
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,100
you'll have three ports out,
676
00:26:27,100 --> 00:26:28,166
sometimes even five,
677
00:26:28,166 --> 00:26:30,367
depending on what style it is.
678
00:26:30,367 --> 00:26:31,266
Can't get a pump in there,
679
00:26:31,266 --> 00:26:33,100
do external
and get your return.
680
00:26:33,100 --> 00:26:35,266
You'll have to insert
a bunghole somewhere.
681
00:26:35,266 --> 00:26:36,867
Just find me a bung
to put in it
682
00:26:36,867 --> 00:26:39,667
-and a nice one.
-All right.
683
00:26:39,667 --> 00:26:40,567
Today is your lucky day.
684
00:26:40,567 --> 00:26:42,266
Today is my lucky day.
685
00:26:49,500 --> 00:26:52,533
We're about to put her hood
on our Trans Am.
686
00:26:55,166 --> 00:26:57,367
-[Joe] I had her, bro.
-[Shorty] You had her?
687
00:26:57,367 --> 00:26:59,033
Yeah, right there
in the header...
688
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:02,166
You're not tight, right?
689
00:27:02,166 --> 00:27:03,500
Should knock there,
the fender.
690
00:27:03,500 --> 00:27:04,800
Yeah, push it over.
691
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,467
Not hard, not hard, slowly.
692
00:27:12,867 --> 00:27:14,834
When you're dealing
with aftermarket stuff,
693
00:27:15,867 --> 00:27:17,867
you just have to play with it.
694
00:27:17,867 --> 00:27:19,166
Used to do a lot of modifying,
695
00:27:19,166 --> 00:27:20,200
that's just the way it is.
696
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,200
I mean, this being
a classic case of it.
697
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,367
The fenders are on it,
they line up to the door,
698
00:27:24,367 --> 00:27:25,667
the doors line up
to the quarters.
699
00:27:25,667 --> 00:27:28,100
But yet, the hinges
are setting up too high.
700
00:27:28,100 --> 00:27:31,133
So, now we're gonna
have to waddle the hole out
a little higher,
701
00:27:31,667 --> 00:27:33,533
so the hood will come down.
702
00:27:37,700 --> 00:27:39,500
Okay, nice.
703
00:27:39,500 --> 00:27:41,700
How does it look like, man?
What do you think, Joel?
704
00:27:41,700 --> 00:27:44,100
I think I've got it gapped out
the best I can
705
00:27:44,100 --> 00:27:45,667
on these aftermarket parts.
706
00:27:45,667 --> 00:27:47,700
Hey, but, you know,
one good thing about this car
707
00:27:47,700 --> 00:27:50,600
is, you know, old Lamb Chop,
he wants his car
original original.
708
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:51,500
Original.
709
00:27:51,500 --> 00:27:52,800
We need to mess up
all the gaps--
710
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:54,934
-Original,
you better loosen it up.
-[all chuckling]
711
00:27:59,567 --> 00:28:01,867
[Shorty] But we're making
headway on our surfboard.
712
00:28:01,867 --> 00:28:04,000
I feel like it's coming along
really well.
713
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:05,166
As you guys can see,
714
00:28:05,166 --> 00:28:07,166
I came up with a...
I think it's a pretty
cool design.
715
00:28:07,166 --> 00:28:08,667
You know, surfboard
is not a surfboard
716
00:28:08,667 --> 00:28:10,700
if it didn't have some
kind of flames in it.
717
00:28:10,700 --> 00:28:12,400
I put some cobalt blue
718
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,266
right on the edge of it
on the outside,
719
00:28:14,266 --> 00:28:16,066
and then faded it in
with a teal.
720
00:28:16,066 --> 00:28:18,433
I kind of wanted it
to blend in with the ocean.
721
00:28:18,900 --> 00:28:19,867
But along with that
722
00:28:19,867 --> 00:28:21,667
I did this little design
right here.
723
00:28:21,667 --> 00:28:23,100
It's a multi-color candy
724
00:28:23,100 --> 00:28:25,367
because it kind of gives
a surfboard character.
725
00:28:25,367 --> 00:28:26,800
I haven't decided yet
726
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:28,700
what color I'm going
to do the flames.
727
00:28:28,700 --> 00:28:30,767
The blue on this Trans Am
is looking really good.
728
00:28:30,767 --> 00:28:32,100
So, I'm thinking
that this might be
729
00:28:32,100 --> 00:28:33,867
the perfect blue
for my surfboard.
730
00:28:35,500 --> 00:28:38,066
I'm mixing up my color
for my flames.
731
00:28:38,066 --> 00:28:40,900
Looks like we got a lot
of bling in there right now.
732
00:28:40,900 --> 00:28:42,734
We're gonna have
ice flames on it.
733
00:28:54,266 --> 00:28:56,867
We're putting the final
touches on the surfboard
734
00:28:56,867 --> 00:28:59,800
and trying finish up
the pin stripping
around the flames.
735
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,166
And then, I'm gonna do
an individual stripe
736
00:29:02,166 --> 00:29:03,266
at the very top,
737
00:29:03,700 --> 00:29:04,967
put my logo on it
738
00:29:04,967 --> 00:29:06,634
and I think we're ready
for some clear.
739
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,066
[Joel] So, now,
Shorty has all
the panels ready,
740
00:29:15,066 --> 00:29:16,166
and on the Firebird.
741
00:29:16,166 --> 00:29:17,800
Now, it's time for me
and Pork Chop
742
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:19,033
to get fuel injection
on there.
743
00:29:21,667 --> 00:29:23,066
[machine whirring]
744
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:29,567
[Joel] All right guys,
so now we got to tank down,
745
00:29:29,567 --> 00:29:31,100
this is a good time
746
00:29:31,100 --> 00:29:34,166
for you to come in
with a brush in under here,
clean up,
747
00:29:34,166 --> 00:29:36,400
see if there's any kind
of rottage under here
748
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:37,667
that you need to handle.
749
00:29:37,667 --> 00:29:39,567
Just clean it up,
put a little bit
of black paint in there
750
00:29:39,567 --> 00:29:40,667
and give you a nice finish
751
00:29:40,667 --> 00:29:42,100
when you put it back together.
752
00:29:42,100 --> 00:29:44,100
So, we got the tank
to the '69 Trans Am
753
00:29:44,100 --> 00:29:45,367
and what we're gonna do
754
00:29:45,367 --> 00:29:48,767
because this
is a non-EFI tank,
755
00:29:48,767 --> 00:29:50,667
we're gonna kind of
convert it into one.
756
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:53,100
We're just gonna add a return.
757
00:29:53,100 --> 00:29:55,467
What we're going to do
is pop a hole,
758
00:29:55,467 --> 00:29:57,734
the same diameter
as this cylinder.
759
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:00,734
See how tight that is?
Super tight.
760
00:30:01,667 --> 00:30:02,867
We'll blow it out real quick,
761
00:30:02,867 --> 00:30:05,100
clean it up, and then
we'll put it in for good.
762
00:30:05,100 --> 00:30:07,266
I pretty much got the bung in
763
00:30:07,266 --> 00:30:10,200
and got the sending unit
back into it
764
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,233
and get ready
to put it back in the car.
765
00:30:15,700 --> 00:30:17,000
-Pork Chop.
-[Gary] Yes, sir.
766
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,934
[Shorty] You got
about a little bit
over a quarter of clearance.
767
00:30:20,867 --> 00:30:22,166
Oh shoot, man.
768
00:30:22,166 --> 00:30:23,500
[Joel] We're gonna
have to cut he exhaust,
769
00:30:23,500 --> 00:30:26,266
but we'll cut this section,
remove this section,
770
00:30:26,266 --> 00:30:27,867
run our fuel lines out,
771
00:30:27,867 --> 00:30:29,400
and then run them
how we need to run them,
772
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,734
and then we'll come back
and make the exhaust
go around the fuel lines.
773
00:30:33,767 --> 00:30:36,834
[machine whirring]
774
00:30:54,266 --> 00:30:56,300
Gas tank is in,
EFI is installed,
775
00:30:56,300 --> 00:30:58,567
just a few more things
and we'll have this
motor wrapped up.
776
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,166
Well, I was trying to put
the AC system together
777
00:31:04,166 --> 00:31:06,500
and put the water pump
pulley back on,
778
00:31:06,500 --> 00:31:08,867
but apparently
the water pulley
is not gonna work.
779
00:31:08,867 --> 00:31:12,467
So, basically, the Firebird
was not an AC car
to start off with,
780
00:31:12,467 --> 00:31:13,667
so we started putting AC on,
781
00:31:13,667 --> 00:31:16,000
and guess what, we ran into
an issue with the pulley.
782
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,100
It doesn't have
an AC pulley on it.
783
00:31:18,100 --> 00:31:20,400
Pork Chop has all
the connections
in the Pontiac world,
784
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,333
so he's gonna see
if he can get us a pulley.
785
00:31:23,467 --> 00:31:25,667
So, David out here in Candell
786
00:31:25,667 --> 00:31:27,100
is Texas Trans Am,
787
00:31:27,100 --> 00:31:28,367
and he's my go-to guy.
788
00:31:28,367 --> 00:31:30,667
He's got a wrecking yard
full of Trans Ams
789
00:31:30,667 --> 00:31:32,133
and Trans Am parts.
790
00:31:35,467 --> 00:31:37,700
So, I don't know that I got
anything else I need,
791
00:31:37,700 --> 00:31:39,500
but I really need that pulley.
792
00:31:39,500 --> 00:31:41,266
All right, let's go back here
and check this one.
793
00:31:41,266 --> 00:31:42,667
I'm believing in you, David.
794
00:31:42,667 --> 00:31:44,667
-You said you had this.
-[David] I got it, man.
795
00:31:46,066 --> 00:31:47,066
Yep, here we go.
796
00:31:47,066 --> 00:31:49,000
-[Gary] You got one?
-I got one right there.
797
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,700
All right, so yeah,
it looks different.
798
00:31:51,700 --> 00:31:53,100
-[David] Got lucky
on this one.
-Yeah.
799
00:31:53,100 --> 00:31:55,000
-See, how much
smaller that one is?
-Heck yeah.
800
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:59,000
Can you put that
on there to make sure that
the bolt pattern is the same?
801
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,600
-[David] Here you go,
Pork Chop. Perfect fit.
-[Gary] Good deal.
802
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:02,867
Now that it's the right size,
803
00:32:02,867 --> 00:32:04,867
maybe me and Joel
can go back and work.
804
00:32:06,900 --> 00:32:08,400
I see it now.
805
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:10,367
I see the offset, too.
806
00:32:10,367 --> 00:32:13,066
-[Gary] The diameter
is a little bit different.
-[Joel] Yeah.
807
00:32:14,100 --> 00:32:16,100
-[Gary] There you go.
-Look at that, man.
808
00:32:16,100 --> 00:32:18,033
-Perfect.
-[Gary] Fits like a glove.
809
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,000
-There they are.
-There they are.
810
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:23,967
-Hi.
-Hello!
811
00:32:23,967 --> 00:32:24,900
[Shorty] Hi, Danielle.
812
00:32:24,900 --> 00:32:26,800
Izzy's wife, Danielle,
813
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,567
is coming in today
to pick up the surfboard
for Surfers Healing
814
00:32:29,567 --> 00:32:30,700
to take it back with him,
815
00:32:30,700 --> 00:32:32,667
and hopefully, auction it off
and make some good money
816
00:32:32,667 --> 00:32:34,467
to keep
the organization alive.
817
00:32:34,467 --> 00:32:36,066
My name is Danielle Paskowitz.
818
00:32:36,066 --> 00:32:38,767
I am the co-founder
with my husband,
Izzy Paskowitz
819
00:32:38,767 --> 00:32:40,867
of Surfers Healing Foundation.
820
00:32:40,867 --> 00:32:43,800
-This is our
grandson, Bronson.
-Hello.
821
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:45,400
[Danielle] So, Surfers
Healing Foundation
822
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:48,300
is a charity
that we started in 1996
823
00:32:48,300 --> 00:32:50,867
on behalf of our son, Isaiah.
824
00:32:50,867 --> 00:32:54,300
And my husband
was a professional surfer
at the time
825
00:32:54,300 --> 00:32:57,300
and we'd take him to the beach
and put him on the board
826
00:32:57,300 --> 00:32:58,767
and it helped,
827
00:32:58,767 --> 00:33:02,867
so we start sharing it
with just some of his
pre-school aged friends.
828
00:33:02,867 --> 00:33:05,166
And then it just extended
and extended,
829
00:33:05,166 --> 00:33:06,333
and the camps got more.
830
00:33:06,333 --> 00:33:09,967
And now there's
about 28 locations
in the United States
831
00:33:09,967 --> 00:33:13,600
and New Zealand, Australia
and Mexico.
832
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:15,300
You know, I just want
to tell you guys
833
00:33:15,300 --> 00:33:18,967
how honored I am to let me be
a part of this.
834
00:33:18,967 --> 00:33:20,667
And we're honored
that you did it for us
835
00:33:20,667 --> 00:33:22,266
and I can't wait to see it.
836
00:33:22,266 --> 00:33:25,800
And it's gonna be
up on display
for a couple months
837
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,600
before it's auctioned off
for our charity.
838
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:30,700
-You ready, Bronson?
-Of course.
839
00:33:30,700 --> 00:33:32,834
[Danielle] He's like
waiting patiently.
840
00:33:34,266 --> 00:33:37,300
-Oh, my...
-[Bronson] Oh, my God.
841
00:33:37,300 --> 00:33:40,266
Oh, my God, it's beautiful.
842
00:33:40,266 --> 00:33:41,800
Wow!
843
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,467
This is the most beautiful
board I've ever seen
in my life.
844
00:33:44,467 --> 00:33:46,266
[Danielle] It is very
intricate.
845
00:33:46,266 --> 00:33:47,667
It's perfect colors.
846
00:33:47,667 --> 00:33:49,166
And as you get back here,
847
00:33:49,166 --> 00:33:50,400
Danielle and Bronson,
848
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,166
-you can really see
all the water--
-[Danielle] Oh, yeah.
849
00:33:52,166 --> 00:33:53,800
[Bronson] Yeah, I see that.
850
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:57,200
He put a lot of work, time
and effort into it,
851
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:58,166
and it just warmed my heart.
852
00:33:58,166 --> 00:33:59,500
It was probably
one of the most
853
00:33:59,500 --> 00:34:03,000
classy, clean surfboards
that I've seen
for our auction.
854
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:04,567
Absolutely gorgeous.
855
00:34:08,467 --> 00:34:11,300
[Shorty] Noel just got done
installing the convertible top
on the Firebird.
856
00:34:11,300 --> 00:34:12,667
Now, we have it in the booth.
857
00:34:12,667 --> 00:34:13,967
Pork Chop is checking
with the stencils
858
00:34:13,967 --> 00:34:16,600
to make sure that the stripes
are painted exactly right.
859
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,000
Learning process for me, too,
if you don't mind,
860
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:20,567
so bear with me, okay?
861
00:34:20,567 --> 00:34:22,333
Even if he doesn't know
what that means.
862
00:34:22,867 --> 00:34:25,667
Five and .25,
863
00:34:25,667 --> 00:34:28,033
-and then
another quarter inch...
-What?
864
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,166
Five and what?
865
00:34:30,166 --> 00:34:32,100
It's five and a quarter
to the middle.
866
00:34:32,100 --> 00:34:34,000
Five and a quarter.
867
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,533
That goes to the inside
of the Mark, right, Shorty?
868
00:34:37,700 --> 00:34:39,166
Yes, to the inside.
869
00:34:47,467 --> 00:34:48,800
It's a good day today,
870
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:50,467
we're about to put
the stripes on it,
871
00:34:50,467 --> 00:34:52,400
unmask it,
clear the whole panel,
872
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,266
and cut and buff.
873
00:34:54,266 --> 00:34:58,100
Other than that I think
the car is pretty close
to being done.
874
00:34:58,100 --> 00:35:00,533
[upbeat instrumental
rock music playing]
875
00:35:21,166 --> 00:35:23,367
Damn, boy!
876
00:35:23,367 --> 00:35:24,967
Is this still the same car?
877
00:35:24,967 --> 00:35:26,000
[Shorty] You like it?
878
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,300
[Joel] Those stripes made
that much of a difference?
879
00:35:28,300 --> 00:35:30,266
-I think so.
-[Joel] Wow, man.
880
00:35:30,266 --> 00:35:31,467
[Shorty] You know
how it is, Joel.
881
00:35:31,467 --> 00:35:32,867
I mean, sometimes
any little thing
882
00:35:32,867 --> 00:35:34,467
will make quite
a bit of difference.
883
00:35:34,467 --> 00:35:36,066
Lamb Chop
brought me instructions.
884
00:35:36,066 --> 00:35:37,233
-[Joel] For real?
-[Shorty] Yeah.
885
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:39,567
This is it, man.
886
00:35:39,567 --> 00:35:40,834
[Shorty] Yeah, I like it.
887
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,066
Today, I'm gonna show you
888
00:35:45,567 --> 00:35:47,767
how to refurbish your dash.
889
00:35:47,767 --> 00:35:51,367
First thing you want to do
is take your bezel
completely apart.
890
00:35:51,367 --> 00:35:52,767
If you can see,
891
00:35:52,767 --> 00:35:56,867
there's just dirt that's
embedded in this thing
super, super bad.
892
00:35:56,867 --> 00:35:57,767
Best thing we're gonna do
893
00:35:57,767 --> 00:35:59,266
is we're gonna give it
a little bath,
894
00:35:59,266 --> 00:36:01,500
we're gonna prep it
with some plastic prep.
895
00:36:01,500 --> 00:36:03,166
Once we do that,
we'll let that dry
896
00:36:03,166 --> 00:36:04,233
and we're gonna dye it.
897
00:36:05,500 --> 00:36:07,867
Just kind of like,
scuffing it basically.
898
00:36:07,867 --> 00:36:09,300
You don't want to get
dig into it.
899
00:36:09,300 --> 00:36:13,266
You just want to make sure
that you pass that
little surface of coating
900
00:36:13,266 --> 00:36:15,166
these things usually have.
901
00:36:15,166 --> 00:36:17,467
This is called plastic prep.
902
00:36:17,467 --> 00:36:18,967
And what this does,
903
00:36:18,967 --> 00:36:21,867
it basically removes
anything that we've missed
while we were cleaning it
904
00:36:21,867 --> 00:36:24,033
and it helps with
the adhesion of the dye.
905
00:36:34,500 --> 00:36:36,333
That's how you rebuild
your cluster.
906
00:36:37,367 --> 00:36:38,667
Going in!
907
00:36:38,667 --> 00:36:39,967
That looks brand new.
908
00:36:51,867 --> 00:36:53,767
This Firebird is almost
a Trans Am.
909
00:36:53,767 --> 00:36:56,467
Joel just got done
installing the fuel injection.
910
00:36:56,467 --> 00:36:57,967
While PG is headed over
911
00:36:57,967 --> 00:37:00,367
to install the brand new
white interior.
912
00:37:00,367 --> 00:37:01,967
[Joel] You know, I think I got
everything dialed in,
913
00:37:01,967 --> 00:37:03,567
and hopefully,
I didn't forget anything.
914
00:37:03,567 --> 00:37:05,000
-[Joe] Oh, come on, man.
-All right.
915
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:06,100
[Joe] All right!
916
00:37:06,100 --> 00:37:08,100
-[Shorty] Let's hear it, man.
-It don't start right.
917
00:37:08,100 --> 00:37:09,467
Every time I go
start with one of these,
918
00:37:09,467 --> 00:37:11,500
I'm like praying like,
"Please start.
919
00:37:11,500 --> 00:37:13,000
Don't make me
look like a fool."
920
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:14,800
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
921
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:16,433
I'm gonna slap you with...
922
00:37:20,467 --> 00:37:23,233
[engine starts]
923
00:37:26,567 --> 00:37:29,166
Damn, when Joel fired it up,
it sounded good.
924
00:37:29,166 --> 00:37:30,867
I mean,
it just cranked right up.
925
00:37:30,867 --> 00:37:33,967
[engine revving]
926
00:37:37,867 --> 00:37:39,066
That was real good.
927
00:37:39,066 --> 00:37:40,867
Now, it's gonna have AC,
928
00:37:40,867 --> 00:37:43,333
no carburetor, fuel injected.
929
00:37:45,667 --> 00:37:46,667
We got crunch time,
930
00:37:46,667 --> 00:37:49,166
so we got Manuel over here
putting the doors.
931
00:37:49,467 --> 00:37:50,767
We've got Noel
932
00:37:50,767 --> 00:37:53,166
trying to get ready
for the carpet
to get installed
933
00:37:53,166 --> 00:37:55,634
and I'm trying to put
these rear door panels on.
934
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:03,967
We just got done
with the interior.
935
00:38:03,967 --> 00:38:05,467
I think it came out
real great.
936
00:38:05,467 --> 00:38:06,767
Nice and tight.
937
00:38:06,767 --> 00:38:10,467
And we did add that padding
for Pork Chop's wife.
938
00:38:10,467 --> 00:38:12,667
And I think
she's gonna like it.
939
00:38:12,667 --> 00:38:14,667
That horsey dance
must have worked.
940
00:38:14,667 --> 00:38:16,000
The interior looks great.
941
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,266
It's time for me to move on
to the back and install
the spoiler
942
00:38:18,266 --> 00:38:20,667
and we're waiting on Pork Chop
with the new wheels and tires.
943
00:38:23,700 --> 00:38:25,166
[machine whirring]
944
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:30,033
[Joel] Oh, that looks good.
945
00:38:32,867 --> 00:38:34,400
[Shorty] All right,
we're good.
946
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:35,834
[Gary] All right,
let's come down.
947
00:38:38,100 --> 00:38:39,934
Oh, yeah. [exclaims]
948
00:38:41,567 --> 00:38:43,166
Woo-ee!
949
00:38:44,900 --> 00:38:46,000
According to Pork Chop,
950
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,500
it was at another shop
for six or seven years.
951
00:38:48,500 --> 00:38:51,266
And then, it sat at his house
for another three
or four years
952
00:38:51,266 --> 00:38:53,767
and look, I mean,
look at the car now, man.
953
00:38:53,767 --> 00:38:56,533
I love the fact
that it's finally done.
954
00:38:56,867 --> 00:38:58,166
It's awesome.
955
00:38:58,166 --> 00:38:59,967
She's gonna
really like that car.
956
00:39:03,266 --> 00:39:04,300
So here we are,
957
00:39:04,300 --> 00:39:06,367
you know, it's a real exciting
moment right now.
958
00:39:06,367 --> 00:39:07,867
How are you feeling right now?
959
00:39:07,867 --> 00:39:10,967
I am so excited.
960
00:39:10,967 --> 00:39:13,367
The anticipation is just like,
it's right here.
961
00:39:13,367 --> 00:39:15,200
And I've been waiting
so long for this.
962
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:17,867
You saying that,
my heart is like...
[imitates heart beat]
963
00:39:17,867 --> 00:39:20,266
I think it's, you know,
it's gonna be real
special for her.
964
00:39:20,266 --> 00:39:23,467
And we just want to make sure
nothing takes away
from that moment.
965
00:39:23,467 --> 00:39:24,367
I'm ready.
966
00:39:24,367 --> 00:39:26,000
All right, let's hear it.
967
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,867
[Gary] All right,
if you don't like it,
it's Joel's fault, okay?
968
00:39:28,867 --> 00:39:30,567
I thought you were
blaming it on him.
969
00:39:30,567 --> 00:39:31,967
Oh, yeah,
we'll blame it on Pedro.
970
00:39:31,967 --> 00:39:33,266
[all laughing]
971
00:39:33,266 --> 00:39:35,967
-[Gary] What do you think?
-Oh, biscuits,
that is amazing!
972
00:39:35,967 --> 00:39:37,667
[all laughing]
973
00:39:37,667 --> 00:39:38,634
[Gary] Sweet.
974
00:39:39,467 --> 00:39:41,467
Oh, my, I'm shaking.
975
00:39:41,467 --> 00:39:43,100
That is not a bucket of bolts.
976
00:39:43,100 --> 00:39:44,834
-[Shorty] No.
-[Shannon] Oh, my God!
977
00:39:46,567 --> 00:39:48,567
This is the most amazing thing
I've ever seen.
978
00:39:48,567 --> 00:39:51,000
I can't even believe
it's the same car.
979
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,266
It's been a long journey
for you and Pork Chop.
980
00:39:53,266 --> 00:39:56,100
And you know,
one of the things
that he wanted to do for you
981
00:39:56,100 --> 00:39:59,000
was get this car finished
somehow or another
982
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,867
and fulfill something
that he's always wanted
to do for years.
983
00:40:01,867 --> 00:40:03,166
-Thank you.
-I'm glad you like it.
984
00:40:03,166 --> 00:40:05,266
Hopefully, this is something
you guys will keep forever.
985
00:40:05,266 --> 00:40:06,367
Absolutely.
986
00:40:07,367 --> 00:40:09,100
[Shorty] We started off
with a bunch of bodywork.
987
00:40:09,100 --> 00:40:11,900
Obviously, it had some
mechanical interior,
988
00:40:11,900 --> 00:40:13,000
upgrade the paint job,
989
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:15,066
you know from a Firebird
to a Trans Am,
990
00:40:15,066 --> 00:40:16,600
give it a more sporty look,
991
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:18,266
give it a little bit
more horsepower
992
00:40:18,266 --> 00:40:19,467
with the fuel injected.
993
00:40:19,467 --> 00:40:22,166
And then, obviously,
give it a better look
on the outside
994
00:40:22,166 --> 00:40:23,667
with the new wheels,
995
00:40:23,667 --> 00:40:24,800
you know, updated stance,
996
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:26,367
you know, make it right
for Shannon.
997
00:40:26,367 --> 00:40:28,200
So, I'll let him show you.
998
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:29,734
I'm ready, I'm ready.
999
00:40:30,867 --> 00:40:32,266
[Gary] We did put
the tach on it.
1000
00:40:32,266 --> 00:40:33,200
[Shannon] Oh, my gosh.
1001
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:35,300
We went stock with it,
pretty much.
1002
00:40:35,300 --> 00:40:36,967
[Shannon] Wow! Here it is.
1003
00:40:36,967 --> 00:40:38,100
It was a bucket of bolts.
1004
00:40:38,100 --> 00:40:39,767
It was mismatched
on the color,
1005
00:40:39,767 --> 00:40:43,300
there were parts inside it
all over the place.
1006
00:40:43,300 --> 00:40:44,467
And to see it roll in,
1007
00:40:44,467 --> 00:40:46,767
I almost didn't believe
that it was my car.
1008
00:40:46,767 --> 00:40:50,367
I am beyond thrilled.
1009
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:53,667
[Shorty] All of the guys
in the shop,
1010
00:40:53,667 --> 00:40:55,066
they put a lot of effort
1011
00:40:55,066 --> 00:41:00,100
into getting all those
little things as well as
the big things buttoned up
1012
00:41:00,100 --> 00:41:01,600
and making it
look good for you.
1013
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:03,266
Her reaction was amazing.
1014
00:41:03,266 --> 00:41:05,667
You know, the struggles
they have been through
with that car...
1015
00:41:05,667 --> 00:41:08,200
[exclaims] Wow.
1016
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:09,700
[Joel] You know,
opening up that hood,
1017
00:41:09,700 --> 00:41:12,166
it's just amazing
to see a Ram Air there.
1018
00:41:12,166 --> 00:41:14,467
I mean, it's so traditional
on those cars.
1019
00:41:14,467 --> 00:41:16,066
Ram Air gives it more power,
1020
00:41:16,066 --> 00:41:17,700
it just gives it that
finishing look.
1021
00:41:17,700 --> 00:41:20,266
The only thing I said is,
"She's got to have AC."
1022
00:41:20,266 --> 00:41:21,300
[Shannon] Absolutely.
1023
00:41:21,300 --> 00:41:22,700
You got to have AC.
1024
00:41:22,700 --> 00:41:24,567
[Joel] He was like,
"Nah, she needs
fuel injection." I was like...
1025
00:41:24,567 --> 00:41:26,667
-[Gary] Oh, yeah,
you believe that, right?
-[all laughing]
1026
00:41:26,667 --> 00:41:27,700
The paint is phenomenal.
1027
00:41:27,700 --> 00:41:31,667
I've never seen anything
quite as extraordinary.
1028
00:41:31,667 --> 00:41:33,667
The stripes are to die for.
1029
00:41:33,667 --> 00:41:36,500
And I love the detail
in the back,
1030
00:41:36,500 --> 00:41:37,400
near the tail lights,
1031
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:38,967
and you've got that
beautiful blue
1032
00:41:38,967 --> 00:41:41,100
with a spoiler
hanging over it.
1033
00:41:41,100 --> 00:41:42,266
Couldn't ask
for anything more.
1034
00:41:42,266 --> 00:41:44,300
Look at that top
going down, boy.
1035
00:41:44,300 --> 00:41:45,700
You got more room now.
1036
00:41:45,700 --> 00:41:47,000
[Shannon exclaims] Woo!
1037
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:48,300
[Gary] Pedro did
all the interiors,
1038
00:41:48,300 --> 00:41:51,567
Joel did a really nice job
on re-conditioning that dash.
1039
00:41:51,567 --> 00:41:53,367
[Shannon exclaims] Wow! Wow!
1040
00:41:53,367 --> 00:41:55,500
I mean, it was trashed.
It's amazing.
1041
00:41:55,500 --> 00:41:59,667
I absolutely am in love
with the white interior.
1042
00:41:59,667 --> 00:42:03,300
And when you couple that
with that jet black carpet,
it pops.
1043
00:42:03,300 --> 00:42:05,867
and there's no mistake,
that's my car.
1044
00:42:07,166 --> 00:42:11,300
Thank you guys for letting me
and the crew be a part
of this build.
1045
00:42:11,300 --> 00:42:12,767
I hope you guys
enjoy it forever.
1046
00:42:12,767 --> 00:42:14,567
Now, the only thing left
for you to do
1047
00:42:14,567 --> 00:42:16,266
is to get in the car
and take it for a spin.
1048
00:42:16,266 --> 00:42:17,233
Let's spin.
1049
00:42:17,900 --> 00:42:18,867
-Thank you.
-Thank you, guys.
1050
00:42:18,867 --> 00:42:19,800
Thanks again, Shorty.
1051
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:21,166
-Thanks, Bis--
-I appreciate it.
1052
00:42:21,166 --> 00:42:23,800
I have looked
at that car for ages
1053
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:25,567
and today's the day,
so thank you.
1054
00:42:25,567 --> 00:42:26,800
You're welcome, baby doll.
1055
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:28,000
Ready?
1056
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:29,400
[engine starts]
1057
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:31,266
Oh, my God!
1058
00:42:31,266 --> 00:42:33,700
Oh, my gosh. Amazing.
1059
00:42:33,700 --> 00:42:35,567
I can't believe it.
1060
00:42:35,567 --> 00:42:36,667
-Bye.
-See you.
1061
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:42,000
Here it goes. Oh, my goodness.
1062
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:43,867
[Shorty] Everything
that he wanted to do
1063
00:42:43,867 --> 00:42:45,533
was just basically for you.
1064
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:47,867
It's amazing.
1065
00:42:47,867 --> 00:42:50,166
[Shorty] As far as creating
a Trans Am, I think we did.
1066
00:42:50,166 --> 00:42:53,467
This is kind of like a person,
you know, when they're
born again.
1067
00:42:53,467 --> 00:42:54,667
He was born a Firebird,
1068
00:42:54,667 --> 00:42:57,000
but you know what,
he had a chance to get reborn,
1069
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:58,433
so he was born a Trans Am.
1070
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:01,634
Look at that door, man.
1071
00:43:02,266 --> 00:43:03,900
You see, watch this.
1072
00:43:03,900 --> 00:43:05,266
Look at this, PG.
1073
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:07,667
[PG] Should that have
Lambo doors?
1074
00:43:07,667 --> 00:43:08,767
It might go up.
1075
00:43:08,767 --> 00:43:10,567
[Terry laughs]
1076
00:43:10,567 --> 00:43:11,900
Man, what was this thing?
1077
00:43:11,900 --> 00:43:13,266
-Lamb Chop?
-No.
1078
00:43:13,266 --> 00:43:15,567
[both laugh]
1079
00:43:15,567 --> 00:43:17,967
-Pork Chop Chupacabra.
-Pork Chop Chupacabra.
1080
00:43:17,967 --> 00:43:20,367
I'm starting to call him
now, chicharron.
1081
00:43:20,367 --> 00:43:23,700
-Pork skin instead
of Lamp Chop.
-[Shorty laughs]
1082
00:43:23,700 --> 00:43:25,867
It went from Pork Chop
to Lamb Chop,
1083
00:43:25,867 --> 00:43:27,400
-now chicharron.
-Chicharron.
1084
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:28,467
Pork skin.
1085
00:43:28,467 --> 00:43:30,367
He's a man of many names, man.
