You know what the past is?
Honest.

That's what I like
about the past, it's honest.

A lot of people forget
about the people behind us.

They did with what they had.

And you do with what you've got.

The simplicity of life is gone.

And we're losing so much
by not keeping it,

but today we are in a society
that everything is so quick.

The simpler things in life
bring great joy.

I guess that's why things from
the past hit a chord with me

and that's what I would like
to do with this build.

it's crazy this is our
sixth build of the season

yeah, we're almost done.

It's good on that time now,
look at the weather.

Soon we're gonna have snow
on the ground,

all the time we're gonna have
to, you know,

work twice as hard to do
anything.

And we want to finish, you know,
we want to meet the goal

that we put down.
What's his name?

His name's chris.

And he sounded
like an older gentleman.

And he didn't really touch on
what exactly he wants to build.

But he just said
that he knows

that you're the,
- you're the one to build it.

Well, that makes me
feel good inside.

I'm the one.
I'm the one.

Got some big-ass snowflakes
falling.

Well, this is our first snow
of the year.

The weather's changing
quite quickly.

We've only got
two more builds left.

We've got this one
and another one,

but we're just getting
a little bit of snow,

nothing to frantic over.

Look at this, baby.
- I know.

Stick your tongue out.

Man: Here is mr. Tattoo
and veronica lake.

-Morning.
-Morning.

-How are you doing?
-I'm about even, I guess.

Beautiful morning for it anyway.
-Hi. Nice to meet you.

Hello. I remember you.

Did you order this?
[ laughs ] yeah.

No.
- No. Not really.

We're not ready for it.
Not really.

The snow's here.

We definitely
didn't beat the snow,

so we just have to get it done
before it's up to here

because that will happen
and it's on its way.

Wow, look at that,
now would you?

Ooh!

When I walk in chris's shop,
I see a lot of history.

So am I allowed to
just look around?

You wouldn't be in here if I
didn't want you to look around.

What's the point in coming?

You can never judge a book
by its cover,

but you can judge
a man by his garage.

When did you start
when you was a young man

or your father show you?

I got the disease about
the age of seven.

The disease?

Is that what we're calling it
a disease because I got it.

It is a disease
'course you have it.

You wouldn't be here
if you didn't. [ sniffs ]

being a motor head
is a disease.

The symptoms of the disease --
dirty fingernails,

staying out in the shop
all night,

working on something
that most people

wouldn't give you
five cents for.

The whole thing is just
some kind of madness.

It's just something
that happened to me.

It's like measles. [ laughs ]
you get it or you don't.

I want you to consider
building me a open wheel racer.

Okay, cool.

When the big names like buick
and chevrolet were racing at,

say, indianapolis
or whatever,

there's no two of those cars
that are really the same.

Buick would have
its name on it.

But they have somebody
like you build it.

How much money are you
looking to spend?

About 10 grand.

[ car crash sound effect ]

so we're going to make it
from whatever we can.

Yeah.
- We're going to build you

a racecar
you've never seen before.

I can imagine.

I want to thank you
very much.

And I will not
disappoint you I hope.

I'm easily content
- with the best of everything.

[ laughter ]

did you hear that, baby?

Easily content
- with the best of everything.

I'll have to remember that.

'kay, see you later, chris.
-The $10,000 budget.

You know, that just means
we have to be very efficient.

We don't have
as much time as normal.

So chad's going to have to get
creative with the lack of money.

And that's what
chad's all about.

♪♪

chris wants something nostalgic.

John's got all kinds
of old stuff.

John!
- John: Heya, chad.

What's going on?

What brings you way
down this way?

Just come to see what you've
got. Come see what you got.

My name is john and I
have a few cattle.

[ cattle lows ]

and a few cats.

I've been doing this
for 50 years,

artificial insemination and
selling semen to the farmers,

and I'm a, as you can see
around this property,

I'm a car collector.

That pretty well sums it up.

John has acquired a lot
over his years.

I don't think john's big
on selling things.

I really don't think
he's big on selling things.

I know he's not big
on selling things.

I just came out here because you
just never know.

What you got here?

That's a '50 merc.
Am I allowed to peek?

Yeah, I'll give you a look.
Have a look at it.

It's a california mercury.
Wow.

Usually I don't sell anything.

I'm, you know,
I'm a collector.

What do you got in here now?

Must have been a sale
on mercurys, was there?

There was.
- Look at that, now, would you?

Chad:
John has some bodies around
that are really good bodies.

And if I can talk
one out of him,

that's what I'm looking for.

Something to start with.
We'll see what happens.

We've got a build coming up

and I don't know
what I'm looking for.

I don't know, I don't know
why I should come see you.

You won't sell me nothing
will ya?

You might?
I might. Today I might.

I can't afford that.
- No, no.

I'm going to have myself
a '36 ford someday.

Someday, hopefully.

John has just acquired a bunch
of vehicles over the years.

He has cars that somebody would
really love to have, you know.

I like that.

He has some cars
that are special.

You want to go in here?
I do want to go in.

That's beautiful, john.

That is a '30s...
- Four.

'34...
- Dodge.

Dodge. That is gorgeous.
Chrome headlights.

That's beautiful, john.
That's a time capsule that is.

It is
- it is.

Look at that in there,
now, would ya?

That pretty?
That is pretty.

Will you sell this
to me, john?

Yes, I would.
- How much?

[bleep] I love old cars.
20 grand, you can have it.

Ohh, that's too much.

I I got to get [bleep] out of
it, it's too hot for me.

Huh?
- Ah.

It's beautiful though.
I want to give you that.

And that's a '30,
'38, chev.

It's hard for a grown man
to say I like your stuff,

but I like your stuff.

What the [bleep] is that?

Holy [bleep]
- what the [bleep] is that?

That's a pierce-arrow v12.

Holy!
It's quite something else.

It's 460 cubic inch.

Where'd you get that at?

My friend had a boat with two of
those engines in it.

He said he would sell it,
so I brought home.

What a year would that be?

That's probably a '34
or '35.

Like this is history
right here.

That's something that's probably
3/4 o the world has never seen.

And we found here in john's
building.

In the, in the back shop,
you know.

Probably should start
with the car,

but why not start
with an engine?

I'm gotta build a car.
I just want.

Is that something
you'll get rid of?

Sure. I'd sell that.

I think that would just
be gorgeous to be able

to look at and watch run.
It would be quite a feat.

How much you want for it?

You really interested
in that motor?

Yes, I'd love to have that.

What do you what
would you do for it?

What do you want for it?
I want quite a lot for it.

But if you'll give me
if you'll give me $1,000

you can have it.
- Sold.

I love it. I love it.
It's gorgeous. I love it.

We know exactly
where we're going now

and the engine is going to
tell us exactly what we need

for parts and pieces
to make this thing roll.

And it's not the car talking
to us this time is the engine.

I love that thing.
- That's like christmas to me.

Christmas when you buy.
I love that thing.

I hope it turns out good.
Oh, it will.

[ mooing ]

♪♪

we are going to make
a racecar,

but you think that just popped
out of the '30s.

So we have a v12
pierce-arrow engine,

I want the engine
in the middle of the car.

That's nice.

I want to sit right
on the transmission

and the way it rides would
take you right back to 1930.

And you think that
you were born again.

I guarantee it.

And we'll cover the engine
and it's quite big.

I got a louver machine

that'll punch a bunch
of holes in it

and that will release
all the hot air.

And then I'm going
to come down here

and I'm going to open the front
so the air can go in.

I got goose bumps.
It's about fun.

It's about racing, building
a hot rod and having fun.

You got that big monster
between your legs running.

Whoo.
Hot diggity dog.

Grab a seat, we've got seats all
lined up for you and everything.

-Here we are this morning.
-Can you feel the cold air?

We got winter on our heels,

and I really want to
throw this one fast.

I was looking at
john's place cars

and I picked
the pierce-arrow engine,

the biggest, baddest thing
I've ever seen.

Like, I mean,
I couldn't help it.

We're going to make it
a one seater person racecar,

so if you can picture it or not,
I would like to be

almost sitting right
on the transmission,

like to have the shifter
right there.

[ laughter ]

I never thought of that.

[ laughter ]

anyways, I want the shifter
right here between my legs.

I've got this shape
and it's got this big, you know,

sideways teardrop in the back.

And then it has the cockpit
and then it has your hood

and you're opening
for your grille.

I want to keep it true to the
year if we can like

everything that we put on it
is I want it to be antique-y

or old or have depth to it
or we make it.

If they can make it back then,
we can make it now.

As we get building in this car.

I want you to think
about the history

and the and the people

that probably
would have built this car.

And the tools
that they had back then.

I get a couple of old tools
out there.

Maybe I can get you get
that engine running

with the with a bent nail
and a rubber band.

We're going to pick a lot
of stuff in the back door yard.

We've got to check
on chassis out there.

We can pick from.

We've got some body parts
that we can pick from.

Also when we start it up,
I want it to be so [bleep] loud

that people go,
know what I mean?

So this is going to be
a lot on you, alex,

because I don't know
if the engine even runs.

Okay.

We'll keep it true
to the era

and we'll build a racecar

that someone could have been
proud of back then.

And see if we can get it running
and scare a bunch of people.

Probably ourselves,
-make her loud, nasty, and fast.

Loud and nasty.
Go!

Jolene:
The last build put us behind.

So that just means we have
very little time on this build.

If we want to stay on schedule,

then we're going to have to
finish this one in two weeks.

What do you think, ali?
It's unknown. [ laughs ]

unknown what this girl --
it's quite something though, eh?

Yes.
- Isn't it?

I don't know, I think it's --
I've never seen one.

[bleep] it's a piece of --
it's a time [bleep] capsule,

ain't it?
- Yeah.

I don't know
much about them.

It looks like it's been sitting
for a long time.

I would like to sit right here.

Transmission...
Shifter right there.

Shifter [bleep] right there.

The engine's right there.

...Look at this thing.

Would you be able to see
over top of all that?

How long has it
been sitting?

Your header to the side.
20 years.

I've never, ever worked
on an engine like this.

This is the first for me
it is massive v12.

That's probably over
a thousand pounds.

It's huge.
I'm not very familiar with this.

Has the same concept
of any other gasoline engine

that needs fuel, fire, and
compression.

Right out of the gate,
I see I'm missing

a whole bunch
of transmission pieces.

You know, the clutch pieces.

Probably going to be hard
to get parts for.

When I get this thing
tore apart,

I hope nothing else is missing
out of it

because, you know,

where are you going to find
something like that?

Got a lot of work.

I don't know if I can
I don't know

if I can get this thing running.

Chad: If you can get fire to it
and spark to it, it will run.

And I have faith in alex
he can do it.

And so you can do it.
I know we can.

You know, I know we can
if anybody can. Alex's can.

How's that.

-Chad.
-Yes.

The engine does not work.
-We're not going to get it down

over that,
you know that?

I'm gonna have to lift her up.
This is going to be rough.

Alex: This is not light,
that's for sure.

Chad: Love that thing.

Pretty rusty.

The most important element
is the engine.

Hands down. That's that's the
that's the diamond

in the goat's [bleep].

Feels almost like frankenstein
has entered the building.

And we're looking at 'em
and thinking, wow.

You're quite the unit
to move around.

You're a wild-looking thing.

Think we can bring 'em
back to life?

Right now I'm just checking
the head bolt to torque.

Them I'm going to pull
the spark plugs.

Fill it full of oil.

Roll it over,
make sure the valve train

and everything's not seized.

Like, it sat for 20 years.

Chad:
Is that thing gonna be loud?

Say, yes. I hope it's so loud.
I hope it's so loud.

If anybody can get it running,
I know alex can.

There's not much stumps alex.

This is my plan, alex,
on this on this thing here.

This is how wide
I want the chas--

I want the chassis, that's how
wide I want it right there.

28...Should probably
make it 29.

29 wide on the inside.

That chassis
come from my door-yard.

This is a chassis right here
I'm thinking about.

I don't throw nothing away.

I use everything
that I think is usable.

This is one hell of a chassis.

We want it to be like an arrow
thin as possible

and through the air
as quick as possible.

Let's cut this chassis up.
Really cut this chassis up.

Yes, I need this chassis
to be 29 inches

and I'm going to have to cut.

I relate to people
that built cars years ago

because I use the exact
same methods that they do,

I use the materials
that I have,

I use things that probably
are unorthodox,

but yet,
it gets the job done.

That would have cut my toe off.

-Ah.
-But it didn't.

Chad:
We're going to make something
for chris to make him feel like

we were building the fastest car
that was ever at that time.

This is my piece. I'm going
to put in the back here.

I'm going to bring
that together.

It's going to be that narrow.

♪♪

now, the frame's
the right width.

♪♪

this is where I'm sitting
right here, man.

Just like that.

Jolene: We're all in turbo mode
right now with this build.

We're trying to get it done
as quick as possible

so we have enough time
for the final build.

Chad: Alex gould,
he's a mechanical genius.

It's just like the scientists
playing with frankenstein

and I have to rely on him
to do what he has to do

so I can get done
when I have to get done

so we can marry
these things together.

Alex:
Right now, I'm just checking
valve operation,

make sure the exhaust
and intake valves open

and watching the valves
come off and go down.

That one's stuck,
that one's stuck.

These engine valves are stuck.
Chad?

-Yes.
-There's only a compression

on two of the 12 cylinders.

If the engine does not start.

I will have to build
a whole other car.

I mean, in my brain,
you know what I mean?

Alex: First I'm gonna try
to lubricate these valves,

I'm hoping a little bit
of lubrication goes a long way.

And see what I can do
to free 'em up.

That didn't work,
so I'm gonna try and clean 'em

to free 'em up
to get 'em to work.

This one just barely turns.
These are stuck.

This is gasoline.

Gonna wash them off
and clean them up.

Chad has a lot of faith in me
to get this engine running.

I think a little too much faith.

I need that for compression.

Everything is moving
nice and free now.

Now that the valve's free,
hopefully the energy will start.

It's time to fire this thing up.

[ laughs ]

one side's firing.

She probably needs
a good drink.

[ engine cranking ]

no, I need another coil,
that coil's no good.

♪♪

I'm nervous [bleep].

[ engine cranks, stops ]

[ engine cranks ]

hopefully, she should have
enough gas and now

six cylinders are soaked.

[ engine cranks, starts ]

oh!

Right on!
- Holy [bleep]

that's [bleep] sick.

That is awesome!

A lot of work paid off,
and now you can sleep tonight.

Good job. Good job.
We got an engine for this beast.

Good job. Awesome.
- I am happy.

We have to get the engine

in place before we start
fabricating the body.

This thing is so damn heavy,

I don't think we're
going to pick it up.

We're just going to pull it
over there with a pallet jack.

And then we're going to
pick that chassis up

and try to jam it down
over top of this thing.

We're not going to get it down
over that, you know that?

Alex:
- Gonna have to lift her up.

This is going to be rough
if you build the body first.

The engine is so heavy
that we're not going to be able

to get the engine in the body,
after we build the car.

So, engine first,
body later.

I know we're doing
this backwards,

but that there will not pick
that engine up,

that's 1,500 pounds

and that would probably fold
that cherry picker.

Oh, by the way, we let that
down slowly

and you watch your side, alex,

and see if we're going
to touch anything or not.

It's close. Oh, she's on there,
that's for sure.

Whup, whup, whup, whup, whup,
whup! Love it, love it, love it.

That right here, man.

Pulling the throttle.

Make her hand controlled now.

This is the biggest
go-kart I've ever built,

but I can imagine someone
doing it, you know,

back in the day.
This is going to be badass.

Yeah, she's, she's
quite a monster.

It's quite a piece of history,
you know.

Quite a piece of history.

And it's going to live again
in this racecar.

Well, I know the engine runs,

but we still need the parts
for the transmission.

I'm trying to find a clutch and
pressure plate for our build.

I'm hoping there's
one here.

The clutch and pressure plate,
that's what

connects the engine
to the transmission.

I've known mark
for quite a while.

I gave him a call.

He told me to come out, search
around, see what I could find.

He has a lot of old engines,
transmissions.

Some of the stuff
he has is bigger gear.

So I'm hoping that he has
something

that fits this, this build.

Well, look at this one here.
Where'd this come from?

This pressure plate itself
is 16 inches.

So that one isn't going to work,
because we need

something that's 14 inches.

The transmission being so big,
I might get lucky

and there might be something
in one of these trucks.

Well, here's an old fire truck.

Ah, she's got a big old
diesel in it.

If it had the original engine,
that might have worked for me.

What do we got here? Oh, god.

Ah, so small.

No harm in looking.

The problem
I'm coming across.

Is that a normal like vehicle,
small truck.

The clutches and pressure plates
are too small.

Coming and finding the semis,
the clutches of pressure plates.

Flywheels are too big.

Damn it.

This engine's rare
and it has its own unique size.

That is making it hard
to find parts.

Son of a bitch.

The countdown is on and
the situation's getting tough.

I got to find
a clutch pressure plate,

and here ain't gonna work.

I might have to do some digging

and hopefully someone has
got parts for this transmission.

Chad: We got one week to go.

We're halfway through the build,

we have not got
the pressure plate, clutch.

We haven't got that stuff
to put the transmission on.

And if we do not get that,

we've actually failed.

I'd like to take this...Off
all on the inside the chassis,

like right on the edge.
-Yeah.

Then I would like to take
this square tubing

and go up straight.

And then I would like
to scissor truss it.

We want to make
that frame stronger than strong.

So we decided to put scissor
trusses on the side of it

so that chassis can't bend.

When I was in school,

we'd always make a bridge
out a popsicle sticks.

We used scissor trusses to make
it strong,

so it don't go like this.

Let's make it strong
as possible.

We've got a big engine in there.

just tack it on.

chad: That thing looks badass
and that thing's already is --

looks like --
oh man, that thing's

back in the day already
isn't it?

We've only got three days
left to this build,

I'm going to
murphy's auto sales.

I am looking for something
to help me come up

with something
on the back end of the car.

I know I want two hoods.

That's what I want.
I want two hoods.

I mean, it doesn't matter
which ones they are.

I want two of the same.

You know,
so I can marry them together

and then make something
out of it.

-Anybody home?
-Hey, chad.

Hey, man.
What's going on?

How you doing, little boy?
And see you for a while.

Yes, it's been a while.
How you been?

Good.
- We're on a doing a build.

I'm third generation. My
grandfather run a salvage yard

back in the '40s and '50s.

I'm building the back of the end
of a racecar right now,

I got the front of it
sort of mocked up.

But I'm looking for
- some body pieces for the back.

This would be probably the only
place that I could randomly see

a bunch of older cars
lined up with hoods on them.

Most of the hoods
and doors and trunks

are all up here
in the bushes.

-It's all pretty cool, here.
-Yeah,

look at that now,
would ya?

They're all off
- and everything got a hood there.

Got a hood underneath of it,
that one's on.

I'm going to keep
an eye on that one.

I like this point thing
going on, you know.

I mean, we want to go fast.

So in the back, I've seen
a lot of racer-- racecars.

They come to a point
which looks cool.

But as I look at it,
it's too wide for our car.

You know what I mean, we've made
our car narrow, right?

So it's too wide to put them
this way and come back to point.

So what I'm thinking is
if I can get two of them

and put them up on their side,

it'll come up like a canopy
and it'll be narrow.

It's pretty good shape.

Got two of the--
got two of these.

Sure. Yeah.
- That's cool.

Yeah.

What would you want
for the two hood

for that hood,
that hood over there,

and that hood that goes to that?
Yeah.

The hoods we usually get like
$150, $200 apiece for 'em

if they're good, right?

So if I give you 100 bucks
you'll give me that,

and another hundred bucks
for the hoods?

100 bucks apiece.
Hundred bucks apiece.

Deal. Thank you very much.
Appreciate it.

Awesome.
I like this place.

It would take a couple of days,
probably, to fabricate that.

It would take me two minutes
to weld them two hoods together.

You know what I mean? Like time
is worth more than money.

we wanted to be done

so we can't afford to wait
for them any longer.

Pisses me off.

As we got nothing figured out,
I have to keep

continue on building the body

because, you know, I can't stop
just because that has stopped.

-Hello.
-Hey.

Alex: We pulled the transmission
out of the shop,

there is nothing salvageable
from the clutch pressure plate

on that engine.

That transmission
that was in the build.

Oh, okay.
- So it's a it's a bust then?

It's a bust, yeah.
- Okay.

Well, we had to check.
Yeah.

Alright.
- We'll head back.

Great.
- Bye.

Chad: We've built
this car backwards.

We've got the engine
sitting on jack stands

and I'm building
the car around it.

While alex is trying to
find parts.

We need the transmission
so we know

where everything goes
and what we're doing.

See how that rolls?

[bleep] rolls downhill
and every time it rolls,

you just figure it out.

We have winter coming.

We've been scared
a couple of times.

The snow is coming.

[bleep]
- yeah.

Well.
- [bleep, bleep]

I know, I just wanted to show
you. Take a picture of it.

I just thought you guys
would get a hold of that way

before to this,
you know what I mean?

Like, we're we're kind of behind
a little bit.

It is what it is like.
I don't know what to say.

We should've had
that transmission here

by [bleep] ourselves,
really, but.

I'm searching for this clutch
and pressure plate

and I'm not having any luck,

john sizlack he runs a peers
hero a place in massachusetts,

I'm hoping he has what we need.

Hey, how are you
doing there, john?

Good. How we doing?
Not too bad.

I did some searching
on the old interweb.

And you're the man to talk
to about these pierce-arrow

and seagrave engines.

We specialize in pierce-arrow.

90% of the work we do here
in the shop is pierce-arrow.

Are you the guy that's actually
doing that engine?

Yeah. Yeah.
What are you guys building?

Well, it's it's a one seater
racecar.

A lot of engine for seats.

Yeah, I'm just trying to find
the clutch pressure plate.

Would you happen to have
a clutch pressure plate?

Well, yeah, I should have a
clutch and pressure plate

for that.
- Yeah, it's awesome to hear, man.

What's the price you thinking on
the clutch and stuff?

You know, $200-300 range,
something like.

Geez, that's pretty good.
That's greatly appreciated, man.

Well, I might pass you
on to jolene.

She's the shop manager, so.

Well, if I have
any further questions,

I know to give you a call.
For sure.

I'd be happy to
help you out if I could.

Alright. Cool.

Alex: I'm so relieved
we found these parts,

but we got to get them here.

Now this thing can get up
and go.

♪♪

let's cruise on get
this bad boy down.

-Yeah.
-Finish it.

Jolene:
We had originally budgeted
two weeks for this build,

but it's going to take three.

There's no borrowing time
when the weather comes.

If we keep pushing
the deadlines,

then it's really going
to jeopardize the final build,

and whether we're going to be
able to

fit it into the schedule.

It's going to take two days
to get the parts here.

Once they're installed,
we still have to finish

building around them.

Yesterday we was it
was a turd day,

but turd days turn into big
days, the next day.

Turd days, right?

Once you get that plunger
in there

and you plug them
and the turds go down

and she's ready to rock
and roll again. Alright.

We still don't have those parts.

I guess I'm going to have to
throw a little trust in alex

that they're on their way

and we're just going to keep
fabricating to doing

all we can to get ahead.
That's all we can do.

I'm happy with the thing
on the back, I think.

Yeah.
- When you were describing it,

I thought you were
putting this down here.

I could put two on the side.

[bleep] that's like quite,
fancy, wouldn't it, huh?

What do you think of that, paul?
-Does look cool.

Could do all three and arrow
like an arrow.

Pierce.

[ laughter ]

[bleep]

that'll you know what?
I might go for it.

Gotta make these match,
you know what I mean?

Like my face and my [bleep]
match.

♪♪

perfect.

♪♪

♪♪

uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh.

Uh.

Breathe and think
for three seconds.

Cool. That looks good.

I'm happy with that.
Very happy.

Right now I might make a shield
for the top.

I'm going to do center,
first, corner,

second, body line,
third, body line,

fourth, corner, fifth,
and then,

fill in the places where I need
more square tubing.

You know what I mean?

The more time that we take
on this car,

the less time
we have on the last one.

You know, I know
that we have another one coming.

So the clock is ticking.

It took forever for me
to find these parts,

but the clutch and pressure
plate are finally here.

You know the saying
"as rare as hen's teeth"?

Well, we found the hen
that has teeth.

[ laughs ]

man, I'll tell ya,
I was I was skeptical at first.

Soon as alex
gets the transmission in,

I can finish fabrication.

What I hard, find,
that was to get.

Oh, wow.

Geez that's precious gold
right there.

-Geez, you're excited.
-Oh, my.

And now is the day
that we hooked everything

and still get the radiator
on it got a body almost built,

now we got to work
in a knot hole.

But that's what
happens sometimes

when you can't get parts,
I guess, is it not?

That is exactly right.

We cannot stop moving forward
because we haven't got something

we got to keep moving forward

is just that we have to work
a little harder sometimes.

That clutch is still
really good, too.

That's what I'm saying,
like it's got lots of...

That's awesome.
You have no idea.

So you just got to
- clean that up a little bit

and slide that pan in.
I will clean it up.

Okay. We'll get the car
sort of lifted up for you.

That is [bleep] awesome.

Oh, good.

My heart just sunk for a second.
That is [bleep] awesome.

It's the exact same.
Same? Awesome.

So the starter would
work and everything?

Yes. Yes. That's
the only other thing...

♪ ahh ♪

I got the transmission
assembled.

Now we just have
to get it in place.

Chad:
I can see the teeth are going.

That's where we want to go,
like, right there.

Go up a little tiny bit.
-Feel good. Real good.

A little more.
-Now just push straight.

Hey, whoa, whoa.

Gonna fall off the back.

[bleep]
yeah.

I just can't wait
for him to see it.

You know, I think it's going to
really take him back.

Chris:
Wow is all you can say to that.

Chad: I haven't got the money
for some big louver press,

and I want louver,
so this is what I did.

We just do it all by hand
and press them out with that.

This is a jack.

This is coil springs
off a hood.

I had a guy
named errol maister

he welded the thing all together
and pretty well put it together.

It was a big whopping
200 dollars.

It doesn't really
punch the hole.

We have to cut the hole and then
and then we form it.

It's just a mold, really.
But it does do the job.

It does exactly
what I need it to do.

It's been a good tool, I've done
many hoods with it.

Many hoods.

Alex: Push down on the back
of the train.

Whoa, too much.

I know it'll fit,
because I had the [bleep]

in the --
-want a hand, do ya?

Not jiving.
- You put grease on that at all?

No, you don't put grease
on the clutch.

There goes.

Yeah, whoa.
Got it.

Chad:
It means, something to me
to have that engine,

that transmission all hooked up
again, ready to rock and roll,

that hasn't been hooked up
in 30 years.

Now, she's gonna run a racecar.

There she is right there,
people. Huh?

She's not pretty,
but she works.

Well, listen...
That's pretty.

To get that to work inside that,
to get that in there,

and have the engine working with
the transmission working

it all coming together.
And the gear shift right here.

That's [bleep] awesome.

That those who look
towards the past move on

to the future a lot faster.

You understand that?

Yeah.
- What am I saying?

You know what,
say it again.

[ laughing ]
say it again.

Windshield's going in.

[ bang ]
- yeah!

[ bang ]
alright.

[ bang ]

[ bang ]
- that's cool as [bleep]

we have done nothing
to this car

that couldn't have
not been done in the day.

Hope this is going to work
or fit or what,

but we're going to try it.

[ clank ]

dinner!

It does look like a seat
that would have been done, then.

It's worn and tattered
and turd-y.

Jolene: It's all hands
on deck right now.

Trying to get a lot done
in a short amount of time.

I'm getting used to getting
my hands dirty, I guess.

Just like one of the boys,
building cars.

Chad: I built a muffler box
because I knew

we had to have
an exhaust system on it.

The exhaust is on.

I'm just, just got
a little bit of anxiety.

I want it to start right.

Everything's hooked up,
steering's hooked up,

brakes are hooked up.
I'd like to see it start.

Wouldn't you?
I'd like to see it.

I want to I want to
hear her start.

Come on, baby. Come on, baby.
Come on, baby. Come on, baby.

Come on, baby. Come on, baby.
Come on, baby.

[indistinct]

whoo!

[ pop! ]
[ cheers ]

-whoo!
-Yeah!

[ laughs ]

paul: Holy [bleep]
- gotta get rid of this smoke!

Paul, we're going to die!

We're going to see the flames
shooting out of it.

That's honky tonk-ing
-that's loud.

That seems way louder than the
first time you turned it.

That's true [bleep] racecar.
That's what you hear race day.

Yeah.

Damn, that looks good.

[ brakes squeak ]

we're at the airport,
we're going to reveal a racecar

that the team
has built for chris.

And I just can't wait
for him to see it, you know.

I think he's going to
really take him back

and I think he is going
to really enjoy it.

Chris: I don't know what he's
come up with.

I wouldn't be here
if I wasn't very curious.

And we'll see what he's done.

"wow," is all you can
say to that.

Whoa.

[ laughter ]

what you think, chris?

Best man in the world
in 1942.

Listen, man,
that's something else.

I'm glad you think so.
That's something

right out of "mad max."

oh, man.
I'm glad you like it.

Oh, I love it.

Boy, I'll tell you,
I'm at a loss for words.

I think it's great.
I wouldn't do anything to it.

♪♪

♪♪

the workmanship in it's great.

It is what it really
would have looked like back

when they were building such
things and they did build them.

It's, I think,
a real work of art.

There's no fanciness
or fake to it.

It's just as real as it can be.

Which to me makes it
really attractive.

We've got a v12 pierce-arrow.

Good god.
24 spark plug.

And that thing was sitting
for 20 years

and this man tore it apart.

My god, what an engine.

What's that engine weigh,
800-900 pounds?

Fifteen hundred.
Whoa.

Chris: Well, I love the engine,
you just don't see

that sort of thing
outside of a museum.

When people like me are gone,

that engine will still be
a part of history,

and if you're going
to preserve it, why not put it

in something that
you're gonna really looking at?

What in the hell is that?

Well, there it is.
I just love it.

I think it's great.
- Awesome.

Now, how do you
get the door open?

If get out of here,
you'll never see me again.

I'd like to talk to you
about commissioning a car.

-Okay.
-The car is going to

be a showpiece.
Best of the best.

Chad: It's the last build.

We have to make this the biggest
and the baddest.

We can't do much fabricating

until we have an engine
in place.

So that transmission's [bleep]?
Yeah, you can't use it.

Jolene: We're building
this car from scratch

and we have one week
until the big party.
