All language subtitles for Bitchin Rides Road To The Ridler S01E02 Aluminum and More Aluminum 1080p DISC WEB-DL AAC2 0 H 264-RAWR[EZTVx.to]

[Dave] So this will be
the sketchy part.

It's so low
I can't get in the car
without it draggin', so...

Hang on. When was
the last time
we started this thing?

Hey, do you
think it'll start, Dave?

[Dave] I don't know.

God, that'd be nice
if it does.

Okay, all's I'm gonna do
is pull forward backwards.

Stop. Left, right.

And then we'll
push it from there. Okay?

[Kevin] Okay, fire it up.

[engine stalling]

- [Dave] Nope.
- [engine stalling]

[engine stalling]

- What do you want to do?
- I don't know.

[sighs]

[Dave] This has been a dream
well before I was in business.

[Kevin] It's going
to take a team.

Everybody's expertise,
everybody's input.

[Dave] These cars
cannot be displayed,

promoted, seen by the public
until they arrive
at Detroit Autorama.

[Kevin] There's only
so many teams that have
put these cars together

so it's a great,
great, great opportunity.

[Dave] We'll build a car
that nobody
has ever seen before.

The goal
is to build The Ridler.

All right, guys.
Well, I had an opportunity

to meet a gentleman
by the name of Dave Maxwell.

Well, his goal
is to build The Riddler.

Even better
it's to build it with us.

Anybody here
up for a challenge

of building a car
out of aluminum?

No, nobody.

[laughter]

So, Izzy, this looks--

This is looking
really, really good, man.

I am super stoked.

You got the lines
going just right.

Get the foam on there.
Let's get it shaped up.

[Izzy] The plan is,

build all this out of foam
and then use this.

We're gonna kind of
create a buck.

The roof is actually
going to have

like a domed roof on the car.

Huh, it's pretty cool.

Basically making
something out of nothing.

[laughs] Dude!

- Turned out pretty good.
- Nice.

[Dave] Hey, you know what?
That's perfect too.

But I think this is a great,
great way to start...

Start smashing some metal.

[Dave] And I
can't say for sure,

but I'm not aware
of any fiberglass cars

that ever really
won the Riddler.

And so when we
show up at Detroit
with a Corvette coupe,

I think it's gonna
be like, "Eh."

No fiberglass car
has ever won.

Well, that's funny.
You're right.

That's why we made it
out of aluminum.

And then they're going to go,
"I'm leaving.

I'm packing up my car.

I'll come back next year
when you're not here."

- [Izzy] Yeah.
- [Dave laughs]

I mean,
that's what I'm hoping for.

Yeah, I'm getting
super stoked on this.

So we're about four
and three quarters of an inch

to the wheel opening.

I can't reach it.

Yeah, you can reach it
that way, though.

It's like seven three-eighths
or something.

Yeah, I'm gonna say
about seven and three-eighths,

so that's the difference.

- [Jordan] Two and a half.
- [Dave] Two and a half?

Well, that's not
a big difference, is it?

Not much.
Visually, it's a lot, but...

[Dave] I think, visually,
I think we just lay it out.

Ah, see, roughly...

[Jordan] Five three-eighths
is about there.

[Dave] So, what we're
trying to determine

is based on
our speedster body
and the coupe body,

I want to keep
the sweeps of this wheel low.

That is more classic lined.

And we're not going
to do quite as big
of a wheel combination.

We're going to go
twenties and twenty-ones.

The roadsters
or the speedsters here

are 21 and 22 inch
overall diameter.

So what I want to do
is I want to find
a nice even flow

where this wheel well

is going to have
that swept back rear--
The wheel opening.

It's gonna be
a little bit higher,

but we still want to cover
the top of the tire.

So it has a little
more of an aggressive,

lowered stance to it,

as opposed to more
of a sports car stance.

One thing
I'm just noticing right now

is this rocker right here
has never been extended.

That would be
a real nice natural line

just to catch that,
come up here
and just bring it back out.

Building a car to this degree

to go for the type of award
that we're hoping for,

I wanted
to come up with something

that was different
from what we normally build.

Just raise the bar,
I think, for difficulty.

[Jordan] Stand back and look.

[Dave] What do you think?

So really,
a the end of the day,

you just have
to hope for all
of the perfect tolerances

and the completed idea

of how the car is going
to eventually go together.

[Jordan] That's
a little better.

- The still is raised enough?
- That's high enough.

We're going to
a much bigger diameter

than what was on their stock.

So I think we're in
really nice shape there.

This has
a nice flow to it. So...

- It works.
- Cool.

- And the same swept
back from here.
- [Dave] Yep.

I mean, we could do
the kick back if you want,

but that's layered...

I kind of like
how it rolls under
in comparison to this one.

I kind of do too.

It just looks more classic.

We can try putting
the pattern on this guy

and transfer that line,

- and then see
how it looks on this.
- [Dave] Okay.

We just gotta
transfer it onto the...

aluminum panel.

[Jordan] This'll
give me the line

at which I put it
in the tipping wheel

- and do a little break
like I've done there.
- Okay.

- [Jordan] Still good
on those edges.
- Yep. Looks great.

- I think the line looks good.
- [Jordan] Yeah.

You know,
I'm really glad
that I went back

and kept looking

at the classic line
of the stock wheel opening

compared to what we did.

For what we're trying
to build out of this one,

I think this is
really the way to go.

- Ish?
- Yep.

- [Jordan] It's
coming along well.
- [Dave] I know I like it.

- Well...
- Yep.

- I'll let you back at it.
- Cool.

[Dave] With the shop,
the size that we have

and the amount of people
we have here,

we have a really
good opportunity

to design here,
but actually send out

to some of our partners
and vendors,

to let them kind of pick up
some of the big chunks.

[Will] So with most of this,
we've printed everything

to prove what
the computer is saying fits.

We're right at the verge now

where we're gonna--
We need the real pieces.

We're having
the rear transaxle bells

that go around
the differential.

- [Dave] Oh...
- Those are getting casted.

We'll throw some sand
in the bottom,

push it in there,

tuck the bottom,
cut the middle out.

This one is just
a loose pattern.

So you've gotta come up
with your own parting line

of where you think
the pattern has to be cut
in half by the sand.

Otherwise, it's like trying

to put a baseball
on the ground,
pour concrete out of it

and expect them
to pull the baseball
out of a piece of concrete.

It doesn't work unless
you have it cut in half.

Two halves and then...

This is an aluminum-based
release agent

that we put on the patterns

to prevent the sand
from sticking to 'em.

This stuff's like baby poop.

You get it on you
and it just goes everywhere.

Next thing you know,
it's on your face and...

everywhere.

This is silica sand,

and then we have it mixed
with two chemicals.

So it sets up
basically just like Bondo.

Two parts,
got X amount of time.

Once the two parts are mixed,

and then it sets up
like a rock for the most part.

That's about
where I want to be.

Neil's gonna put in
some sand around the mold

while I hold it in place,
I'll tuck around it.

Just gotta cut down
to that chalk line
I put on the parts

so we can draw it
out of the sand
without it locking in there.

A little bit of vibration

to help knock the sand
away from the pattern.

It's called diamond dust,
kind of like flour.

This helps the sand
from sticking to itself

when you make
a sand-on-sand-rama.

We're just gonna
pop them apart
and draw the pattern out.

Hopefully with
no complications.

- And just
even out the chains.
- [hissing]

So they're lifting the same.

So you just take a little bit
of pressure in there.

Just enough to get a little
bit of a wiggle in there.

[whirring]

On the edge there, you can see

there's a little bit
of a kick-out lip

before it draws back in.

So I'm trying
to get that number

before I do the bead line
to kick it back in.

So I'm trying to get
that little bit of a flare.

[banging]

So I think the wheel openings,

we decided once
I had the panel shaped,
stuck into the car,

clamped them down
and everything,

from there we
were able to stand back
and get an idea

of like, "Okay, how do we
want this to actually
flow through the car?"

Hopefully, I get
a first try-ish,

and I don't have to pretend
I did it right the third time.

From there,

that's when
I can start taking it

to the tipping wheel machines,

some natural dyes,
to do the bead edge
along the wheel,

around the fenders.

Kind of looks like
what I was after.

A little bit
of a lip right there.

A little bit
of a flare, I guess.

I'm gonna get
a little bit closer
to the tape next time.

Looks like I need
to come out a little.

If I like it, we'll go back

and do the sharp line
on the bead roller.

Kick it back in.

There's a lot of things

that we're really
trying to jump ahead

in some trajectory thing here.

Like we want it better

than what we're even used to.

And we've really set
ourselves up for like,

"Wow, you know..."

We know it can be done.
We haven't done it.

[Kevin] It's either going
to go really great...

- [Dave] Or really,
really, really bad.
- Or it's gonna go bad.

- Sure.
- [all laughing]

It's pretty decent.

Let's see
how it looks on the car.

A little bulbous right here.

I don't know if it needs
to get shrink right there,

or if this needs to flare out.

I gotta see what
the actual fender is doing.

So I might just need
to shrink right there
a little bit.

Just get it to relax
a little nicer right there.

It's kind of hard to fit it
to this car too,

because this kicks out
before I need it to.

So it's kind of hanging up
right there.

2
Kevin, I actually
ordered the transaxle.

I got it coming, but there's
some parts connected to it.

-You're good
on the fork lift, right?
- [Kevin] Yeah...

[Dave] You know how to tilt it
and all that kind of stuff.

- You got the side shift.
- Yeah, side shift.

- You got up and down.
- Tilt, up and down.
I do all that.

[Dave] Do you know how to go
through a gutter straight

- so you don't get
like three wheel--
- I can get through gutters.

- Get stuck...
- I unload freight
all the time.

You're not worried about this?

- No, I'm not worried about it.
It's a transaxle.
- 'Cause I would have to say

- I might be a little bit
concerned about it.
- Why?

[indistinct]

You know,
pretty much I told you,

and you know
I am a forklift master,

and I will get this done.

Hell yeah!

And, you know,
normally I would just ram it.

I would just hit the curb
and just do it.

But I'm maturing
as a forklift driver.

- [Dave] You're gonna
take it easy...
- [Kevin] Yeah, I'm like

a fine wine forklift driver.

Smooth going down.

So I just
try to take it real easy.

How wild is that?

This is for a special
project that we're doing
called The Riddler.

- [man] Okay.
- [Will] Oh, my God,
it's so cool.

This is the transmission
we're gonna be using.

- [Will] That's a pretty
cool little start.
- [Kevin] That's about it.

[Will] Lots of amazing
engineering in this deal.

Most of the stuff
we're gonna be
building ourselves.

- It's a good starting point.
- Drat.

Transmission will actually
be in the back of the car
on that car.

This is the torque tube
right here.

So this,
when the engine starts,

the tube inside here
is always spinning.

The clutch is there
in the back.

And we have a transaxle,
which is pretty neat.

So...

That's it. That's all I have.

Pretty cool.
It's a good start.

[Will] Means we're gonna
play hell packaging it.

It'd be really crazy
to watch us
cut this thing out.

[Will] It's very wide.

[Kevin] Do you have
room for your ass?

Well, you know,
the funny thing is
that torque converter

is right there
next to your butt.

I know, that's why
I was asking is it gonna fit?

I think my ass
will fit. [laughing]

This is cool.

I wish this was going
to some [indistinct]

[Jordan] It should
probably be stretched
a little bit,

just so it relaxes
in that position.

Sometimes it's easier
to work with smaller panels.

There's a lot of curvature,
you have to,

but otherwise
it's kind of nice

to have
a relatively large panel,

something that
you can hold it out,

shoulder-widths apart

and be able
to manage really well.

I don't want to shrink that,
but I think that's
what I need to do.

Okay, let's try
a little shrinkage

and see if that goes
in the direction
that we want it to.

If it's too small,

you're trying to do
this dainty little task
in the English wheel,

and then, at that point,

it's almost easier to do it
on a planishing hammer

or something like that.

But "ish" is
the perfect size. [laughs]

Let's try that.

Yeah, it's really not too far.

And it's pretty decent.

[hissing]

So far, so good.

We just gotta get the pattern
off the cope now.

[tapping]

Let's see if we
can just pry it a bit.

Oh, got it. Thataway.

Okay, so there's that part.

- [hissing]
- This is called gray wash.

It's a graphite-based wash.

It seals the surface
of the sand

and it makes a better finish
on the casting itself.

It's alcohol-base,

so just gonna torch
and burn it off.

Then I'm gonna just put
the pins in there
and close it up real quick.

Make sure everything
goes together nicely.

[whirring]

The metal is ready to go.

Okay, crane up.

There you go.

All right, that's it.
Let them sit
for about a half hour.

Then we can crack 'em open.

Make sure
everything looks good.

[banging]

I'll just scoop it up
with the forklift,

and, uh, take them down
to the shake-out area

and we'll knock them out
down there.

Just grab that.

The moment of truth.

This is where we find out
if we did it right or not.

There we go.

Whoo.

Very hot.

Looks perfect.

And hot.

Looks good also.

Whoo.

Cut all the excess metal off,
slick 'em up,
make 'em look pretty,

and then call the guys
over at Kindig It,

have them come pick it up.

Success. Very good.

2
You know, we have obviously
the biggest project

that Kindig It design
has ever had,
this Riddler project.

But we've also got
a whole shop full of cars

that we still have
commitments to
to get them done.

Greg, I need
target top consultation.

Okay, I'm your guy.

You know, over the decades,

we've been
gathering technologies,

abilities and so forth.

And we've had
some pretty odd requests,

to say the least.

Okay, so you remember
when we did the GT40

or the Ford GT, the roadster,

we built that soft top
that folded up

and really all that
kind of cool stuff.

A gentleman
by the name of Brian

is bringing in
a Lamborghini Murcielago
roadster.

They have no hardtop option
for that car.

They had
what they call a toupee,
which is a soft top,

it has a couple
of aluminum rails

that go over the top
of the door windows.

What we want
to do is basically

come up with a top
that can be removable

so that he can
actually enjoy the car,

if it has crappy weather
or whatever.

I don't know if we can
do it in a two-piece

like the Aventadors.

The Aventador roadster
is basically,

they have a top
that slides together

- and bolts down as one piece.
- Okay.

When you take it off,
you break it apart

and it actually goes--
Indexes into the front trunk.

Oh, crazy.

So what Brian wants us to do

is actually build a top
for this Murcielago roadster.

And they don't exist
in a hardtop version.

So we're going to go ahead
and give our best shot

and see what
we can come up with.

So if that's an option,
I'd like to do that.

But what do we need to do
to begin with,

even if it's just a one piece.

How do you think
we ought to build that?

Should we do molds?

Do you want to do 3D print?

I mean, what are you thinking?

I think we could do it
a lot quicker

if we scan this thing
and just 3D print.

If we're only doing one,
I say we 3D print,

we can have the body shop
body work this thing,

- get it looking perfect.
- Okay.

Because I think those cars
looked great as a hardtop.

- Mm-hmm.
- So, you know,

making it look
like a factory hardtop

and people won't even
be able to tell
might be the way to go.

- Yeah.
- Um...

So if we're gonna paint it,

and it's not going to
be carbon finished,

- I think let's 3D
print this thing.
- Okay.

- And I bet it'll be
pretty easy to get it done.
- Okay.

So obviously,
when we scan this,

we got to just
kind of be careful
of where the windows go

because, you know,
it's got, uh, you know,
scissor doors.

So we'll have to be
kind of careful and cautious

of where the doors
are going to go across,

where the top would be.

- Yeah, sounds good.
- Um...

Yeah, I think
we can crank it out.

And if we need
to machine some parts for it,

things like that,
I'm sure I can fit it in.

I'll let you know
when the car's here

and let's make
some time to scan it.

Okay. Sounds good.

- Cool.
- Yeah, right on.

[Dave] You know,
and we're so busy right now,

I think I actually got
the perfect guy
for this project.

What's going on, buddy?
Are you ready to go?

Yeah. This is gonna
be awesome.

I guess your overall goal,

we was able
to find those pillars.

So you're just
going to use those

for the convertible top

that would have came
with the car. Correct.

- Yes.
- Bingo.

It'd be great
in a perfect world

where it could break down,
fit in the trunk.

But to be honest with you,

I think that the trunk
is so small on this car

that we're probably smarter
just to build a--

You know, "pull it all off

and put it right back on"
kind of a deal.

And it should be better,
and certainly better,
than what came with the car.

I'm up to whatever
you kind of come up with.

You're gonna try and cover

across all of this
leather right here,
is that correct?

[Jordan] I think
that's the goal.

Let's shut the trunk thing

and see where it sits.

Well, this guy
has to come out,

but it walks in,

- goes to there.
- [Dave] All the way
back there.

So I think as long
as we cover up to here...

Yeah.

And just keep it
out of the way
so you can still open the top.

Okay. I think
that's just fine.

This isn't really
going to be a car

that is like...

"Oh, man.
It's snowing outside.

I gotta put the top on
so I can drive the car
in the snow."

I don't think
it's that kind of car.

I wouldn't drive it
through a hurricane
or anything.

Me neither.

The trick with this is

is it for it to be
very functional,

but we have to also
be realistic

about what we're building.

I know the dream
was to try to make it

where the whole thing
is one piece

that can be removable,

but we'll have to see
how friendly it is

as far as the way
these guys mount in,

- because this guy...
- If you can get
to the level...

...walks in at this angle
and then down,

- so...
- Oh.

Both of them
together may be difficult.

I'll definitely try

because I don't want
to make it two-piece,

but I'm hoping not.

Let's see
what we can accomplish.

All right, let me
let you get going

and I'll get out of your way

and let me know if you have
any questions or problems.

- Cool. See you, Kindig.
- Cool. Okay.

- Thanks, Jordan.
- All right, well, see you.

[Jordan] First step
is to scan every surface

that I'm gonna need
the information off of,

and just get a game plan
from there, basically.

[Kevin] Jordan's
plan on this top

is going to be
to print it on a 3D printer,

so we have to scan
every inch of this top

and know
where everything lands,

so he can make
the perfect piece
the first time.

I had to make it
in more pieces

than I was originally hoping.

I thought I could
print just one,

a quarter at a time.

I did print them out of ABS

because I wanted to be able
to glue them together

without seeing any blue lines.

And with ABS you can just
use a little bit of acetone,

and it kind of it melts

inside, uh, the surface
of each one

and they just stick together

and you don't have
any glue lines
when you're done,

which is really nice.

So from here,

I'll finish them off,
make sure they're all

totally glued perfectly,

um, and then test fit them
side to side.

So I finally succeeded
in some prints.

- [chuckles] Cool.
- [Jordan] Okay,
let's test fit 'em.

Which one do you want first?

[Jordan] I don't know.
Let's try one at a time

- and see if they even fit.
- Okay.

- This looks...
- [Jordan] One at a time.

...to be, what I would guess,
the passenger side.

- Correct.
- [Dave] Right.

Oh, cool that lighting
is perfect on these.

Hey!

- Fits so far.
- [Kevin] Okay.

Neat.

[Dave] Don't get excited.

Should lock on this piece.

- It has a little...
- Oh, right there.

I think I felt it. Yup.

I think I just felt it
go into place.

- Cool.
- Okay.

[Kevin] So we have the pins.

[Jordan] I am gonna be
gluing it together.
[Kevin] Okay.

- The pins just kind of
reference side to side.
- Oh, okay.

At the bottom,
go ahead and pull the top in.

- [Kevin grunts]
- Okay.

- [Jordan] I mean...
- [Dave] It's lightweight.

- [Jordan] It is pretty light.
- [Dave] That's good.

I like that line
that you got in,
and ran back to here.

That looks good.
That looks nice.

[Jordan] Thank you.

Holy [bleep]. Still fits?

- Whoo-hoo!
- [Jordan] Hot damn!

For the first prototype,
this thing looks great.

It fits the car.
It flows good.

There's so much room in here
and my hair is perfect.

[Kevin] Your hair
doesn't even touch.

- [laughs]
- [Jordan] Whoa.

It looks really good.

And I think, you know,
just leaving this rib

is just fine with me.

I don't think
we need to fill it up
with a bunch of foam.

I think a little bit of Landau
in here

and just do a headliner,
maybe some Alcantara.

It can just float
over the top of that.

- You know, just wrap--
- [Jordan] Give it a little
detail too.

[Dave] Just give it
a little detail.

More importantly, I want
to keep the strength
of the center of that?

[Kevin] We might want
to check the window too.

[Jordan] I say we do.

- [Dave] Cool?
- Yeah.

[Kevin] The window clears,
the door clears,

Dave's hair clears.

What more can you ask for?

Good job.

- Diggity.
- [Dave] Looks good.

All's that's left is what?

- All the rest.
- That's right.

And all the rest
starts with tackling

the back part
where the window lies.

Originally, these cars
have a glass deflector,

which basically keeps the wind

flowing over the top
of the passenger cabin.

We are going to use the same
mounting points on that

to build a piece
that seals to the top
across the upholstery.

So now we need
to machine the step

and the window recess.

So we're gonna
actually receive some glass.

Programming each
individual line into here,

and then I'll load up the, uh,
piece on the table

and actually do a dry run.

Make sure it's what I want
and then start cutting.

Looks pretty good.

Absolutely perfect.

Precision is one
of my favorite parts
about achieving this stuff.

It's fun.

Just being able
to produce a part
that didn't exist before.

Now that we've got
all the parts built,
it's the moment of truth.

We're going to
fit them all together

and see how this thing
really looks.

So we meet again.

We meet again.

Looks like you have
some more parts for us.

Yeah, we got some
stuff to play with.

So that's the--
That would be the back.

- That's what
closes the back off.
- Yeah.

So it replaces
the current windbreaker.

- Okay.
- And, uh...

allows for a sealing
surface to the...

- [Kevin] To the car
and the top.
- Yeah.

So basically,
when you get the top glued,

you'll have latches
that basically...

engage into this

because this will be
held down to the car
through these, right?

Yes. It will basically have
the same thing in the back.

- They're already glued
on to the top.
- Okay, okay.

This guy will go in the front.

I didn't want
to glue him on yet

'cause I needed
to know where
the index is right here.

So that's going
to be another goal today,

is getting positioned
for this to index into that.

Let's see if
it's short enough first.

Okay.

[Kevin] I think you're good.

- I think we're sitting
pretty decently.
- Okay.

[grunts]

2
[Kevin] All right.

Let's see
what this story is telling us.

[Jordan] Looks
pretty good to me.

The top's actually
down on it pretty good.

So far, I'm really
happy with everything.

Since I'm here.
I can help Jordan
get these latches on.

Where do you
want me to hold? Here?

Yeah, they're kind of
where my hands are.

So as long as I stay
out of that area, we're good?

I'm not actually
drilling through.

You're just gonna mark it.

I mean, I'll drill through,

but I'm not actually
gonna hit your hand.

You might if it's in the way.

I can try pretty hard, but...

I'll still probably miss.

[whirring]

Turns out Clecos
work for plastic too.

[whirring]

- Nice.
- I have all my fingers.

So we're good.

Cool.

[Jordan] Yeah.
Look how nifty that is.

Tech gears and all.

[Kevin] Hell yeah.

[Jordan] My part's
all done with this.

Now it's up to them
to bodywork it

and go for a fun test drive
and hopefully
it doesn't pop off.

After a lot of consideration
from the math department

here at Kindig It Design,

we have realized that
there is too much force

on this part
for it just to be plastic.

So we're going to put
one layer of carbon
over the top

to strengthen
the whole thing up.

After that, we're just
gonna smooth it out
with a little bodywork.

We're gonna get it on the car.

Hey, Brian,
what's going on?
How are you?

Good to see you, man.
How you been?

Good to see you.
I've been very well.
How about you?

[Brian] Awesome.
Wonderful.

My name is Brian.

My project is
a 2008 Lamborghini
Murcielago Roadster.

I commissioned
and asked Dave

if he would take on
this job of making

a custom hardtop for it.

Oh, I'm excited for you
to see your car.

You want to go back
and check it out?

Ah, that's what
I'm here for.
I'd love to.

- Come on, come on.
- Always a pleasure
to see you. But--

- Oh, thank you.
- [Brian] Yeah for business.

[Dave chuckles]

If Lamborghini
were to go back in time

and make a top
for this vehicle,

what would it look like?

And my--
my goal would be

to hopefully have it
look similar to that.

So I'm excited to see
what they've done.

[Dave] Well, this is where
we uh, keep her.

- Wow!
- There's Kev doggy.

[Kevin] Hi.
Glad that you came
just when you did.

So we-- we've-- have the
windscreen that engages.

So then this is the
actual piece
that hooks to the top

- Okay.
- And of course, this will be

- see through not aluminum.
- This is where
the window goes.

- Yeah.
- You can see that it has

receivers built into it.

Just slide
into the existing

holes that you already have.

And then that will basically
hook up to the top.

I can't wait to see it.

- Yeah.
- Let's do it. Let me uh,
we'll start on it

My goal is to see
how it flows with the car.

Fit the car
really well.

Not look out of place.

Uh, but do what we
wanted it to do right?

Just be
an ultimate solution.

Wow.

Yeah, the center line
looks very similar to,

- like the Aventador.
Yeah the Roadster.
- [Dave] It does. Yeah.

- Exactly.
- It looks great, guys.

[Brian] First impressions
seen on the car,
I was blown away.

I mean, it took
so much time

into ensuring that
all of the body lines

behind the passengers that
are already in the engine lid

and the engine bay
are followed through

very much into
the hardtop itself.

And I was really
impressed

with what they
had come up with.

The engineering
on this, too.

We figured out that
the amount of pressure

at about 120 miles an hour
is 600 pounds pulling up.

I'm gonna rate it,

conservatively at 115.

- Okay.
- Wait a--
Wait a minute.

So you-- We just built a top,
you don't do 150 miles
in a Lamborghini?

Who's in charge here?

- [laughing]
- Who is in charge here?

Look, I don't want
the liability. That's all.

- Do you want
to get in?
- Sure.

- Yeah, be happy to.
- Please jump on in.

The original top
you couldn't go

over 100 miles
an hour with

Um, so 115 seems fine to me.

Uh, you know,
maybe if I have the top on,
the weather is not that great.

So I probably shouldn't
be going that fast anyways.

How does that feel?
Pretty good.

Yeah, really, really good.
It looks-- looks fantastic.

No, it looks--
I don't know if I would have

thought anything else
would look better.

- I love the look.
- Awesome.

Yeah, inside and out.
It looks fantastic
and finished.

- It'll just be
that much better, so.
- [Dave] Yeah, absolutely.

I was super happy
what they came up with.

And it turned out great.

So I've been really
excited and happy.

As the concept goes,
what do you think?

I mean, it looks more than
a concept to me.

It looks like
it needs some paint.

And then I'll see it
in my driveway here shortly.

- Right. [chuckles]
- It looks wonderful.

I mean, if Lamborghini
were to look back,

historically and said
they could have done
something different.

- This might be what
they would have done.
- Right.

- [chuckles]
- All right.
Well, thanks, guys.

- Appreciate it. Yeah, cool.
- Oh, you very welcome.

Well, with Brian's thumbs
up on this thing,

we're gonna go ahead
and get the bodywork
finished up, get it painted

and get it over
to Justin for a headliner.

[spraying]

[rock music playing]

Here's the deal.
You see this little
notch right here.

- Are we starting from
the beginning of that notch?
- [Justin] Yeah.

- [man] Okay.
- [Justin] All the way across?

Everything else
looks pretty good.

- And I want these
rounded. Not so V'ed up
- Okay,

More like
this one here.

Mmm hmm.

Alcantara black.
Alcantara, which we have
under the bench.

So, yeah, just start dialing
them in just like this.

And then once
we get it dialed in,

what are we
hitting it with?

Nothing.
We're gonna wrap it.

It's all foam back.

- [man] Are we
doubling up on this?
- Nope.

- No. No way.
- Also, it's--
It's foam back out.

[Justin] Yeah.
We double this up,

- we're not gonna get
that curvature we want.
- [man] Okay?

[Justin] Because we're
gluing all this in.

- That's it.
- [man] Okay.

[rock music playing]

2
You know the top is finished,
and I got to say,

I think we actually
pulled it off.

Nice.

It's factory fit, baby.

[Kevin] Easy peasy.

[Dave] Should probably
take it for a ride.

Make sure
it doesn't whistle.

[Kevin] Oh, we'd be done,
if we didn't?

[Dave chuckles]

I'm gonna go
grab my wallet.

It's got my
driver's license

so I can get
a speeding ticket.

- [Kevin laughs]
- [Dave] Just did.

Design wise
and quality wise
we're a 100%.

But I have no idea
how it actually performs.

We'll probably take
a hot lap around the block.

You're driving a Lamborghini
to go fast, look cool

like these
chicks right here.

What's up, girl?

Those are--
Those are guys, Dave.

- They got pretty hair. Sorry.
- [laughing]

Really solid.

I don't feel any air
coming in anywhere.

I think it's good.

This is a huge area
that people may
not understand.

- That just takes
a beating from the wind.
- Oh, yeah.

[Kevin] You really
have to have
this top dialed.

And you know,
the guy just knocked it
out of the park on this.

[Dave] Yup. Absolutely.

Design accomplishment
and road test checked off.

This car
is ready to ship.

Ferruccio.

I think old Ferruccio would be
pretty happy with this.

I think so.

[Kevin] Another bitchin' top.

2
[Jordan] Since we have
two bodies

that we're modeling
this thing after,

we need one
coherent thing

to set all
the sheet metal upon.

[Greg] So I've got
all these pieces
and these are the buck,

the structure so we can
take these panels

that Jordan
has already shaped,

and this thing
will give us access

so that we can weld them
and hammer

and dolly all the welds.

I think there's like
250 bolts for the whole thing.

[imperceptible]

[Jordan] Do you want
to stand it up?

And then I'll grab
a piece or what?

[Greg] Yeah, let's get
this thing upright.

Everything's loose right now
so we can get it all fit.

[Jordan] Greg was able
to scan the front half
of one car

and the back half
of the other car

and the computer,
integrated him into one,

and then he built
a wire form, essentially.

It's like
a two inch tall

steel plate grid
of the whole car.

[Greg] Yeah, it's rewarding
to find the piece
that goes to the right spot,

especially when you
feel like

you should know it
because you made it.

[Jordan] People do things
similar to this.

Usually you'd see
like a wooden buck

where you have
this kind of lattice,

but every six inches
it's a super awesome tool.

Benefit of this versus
a wooden bucket

is its hollow,
so you can actually
get inside of it.

Going around,
tacking every joint so,

kind of locks it in loosely

and then we have
some cross straps

to kind of make sure
it's totally square.

Once we have that and we can
tighten up all the bolts,

and feels pretty good
about it being the actual

shape that it needs
to be.

I'm hoping
that I can get the body
done before I die.

Yeah.

Any time in between
to be a bonus.

[Greg] I don't know.
How long does it
usually take someone

to build a body
from scratch.

[Jordan] I don't know.
I've never done it.

[Greg] Oh, yeah.

[Jordan] We just got done
building this kind

of wire frame
buck sort of thing.

[Greg] Jordan got
the pieces

and all shaped so,

this is the next step
to making those pieces
made together.

So far it's--
looks pretty cool.

[chuckles]

It's exciting
to see it at that point,
you know.

One of the more
challenging parts of this
car is being a Ridler

things have to be perfect.

So far today, I've been trying
to get all these gaps,

lined up perfectly,

trimming the pieces in.

I had the one side
sitting really nice,

everything trimmed in
really well.

The other side
I got it all fitting.

But everything was overlapping
because I wasn't sure.

It's hard to know exactly
how much you need to trim off

until everything
is kind of jiving together.

So now we're coming back
and trimming everything in.

Getting all the gaps

absolutely dialed is one
of the most critical things.

And especially where
the sheet metal lines up

from door edge to fender

or rear cord or something

that has to be
absolutely dead nuts.

So it seems,
if you follow this contour,

it feels a little
bulbous right here.

But it could be
that this is just

shrink a little bit
too much.

You might need to come back
and stretch these edges

just a little bit
to get them to--
to come back up

and meet together.

If it's off a little bit,
you have to build it
up with Bondo

and you're gonna
see that on the door edge
when it's open.

And it's-- gonna start
to look like a fiberglass car

and it'll look
really bad.

On the other side,
I trimmed it on that line,

since it's
in a valley there.

Once it was trimmed
and sitting down all the way,

I ended up with a little
bit of a gap.

So I'm gonna try
to trim it a bit fat.

2
[Jordan] On that line,
since it's in a valley there.

Once-- Once it was trimmed
and sitting down all the way,

I ended up
with a little bit of a gap.

So I'm going to try
to trim it a bit fat.

Let's uh...

slap it up there
and see.

The better you can
get it to lay down

where you're not
forcing it into position.

The better
it's going to weld together

and stay
in position afterwards.

I think this one's
sitting pretty good
where i like it.

Doesn't feel like there's
a gap or anything.

[Jordan] So this
is where we're at.

We've got all the panels
fitting really nice.

I've got them all
trimmed in.

The excess
overlaps cut out,

and they're all fitting
really well to each other.

Cut the window
out yesterday.

Just starting to tip
the edges over.

To create a flange for that.

Tipping these edges
can be a little bit tricky.

I mean, you're going into
an edge that you can't see,

and you're hoping that
it's touching everywhere.

Perfectly, you know?

So you gotta--
You've got to kind of
rock it around.

And just to make sure
it's as flat as it can be.

Another benefit
of tipping the metal

when you're doing
a flange

is you don't want to weld
right on the edge

of a piece of sheet metal.

So you can build like
the top section.

Then the side section,
welded together.

And then you're
welding it on the corner,

and it's very hard to stretch
the corner section back out.

It's much easier
to tip the edge

and create a flange
right there

that you can actually shrink
and stretch along that flange.

[thuds]

Now I'm gonna
kind of persuade it
to tip up a little bit

by putting pressure on this
as it goes through.

Thank you.

Okay, now we can go
and stretch this edge

and help persuaded
the tip down.

This machine
just smashes metal.

If you have
the right dyes in it,

it's usually
going to stretch,

but if you have like,
the thumbnail dyes in it,

you can work it like,
like the full max

with some nail dyes
and shrink the metal,

but it's a really
noisy machine.

I don't-- I don't prefer it
for most things,

That's probably
good enough.

And then even if that
flange gets welded

to another section
of sheet metal,

then you have a flat spot
that you've welded.

And now it's easier to get
a hammer and dolly in there.

And plan the sheet back out
to what you need it to be.

[Dave] Wow!
This is looking
really good.

You got all of the roof
tipped in now?

All the roof
is pretty much
tipped in

as far as I can until

we get it on something else.

Otherwise, if I go further,

it's just--
it's going to capture.
I can't take it off.

- [Dave] Oh, you won't be able
to pull it off of the plug.
- [Jordan] Yeah. Yeha.

Of course.
Man, that looks killer.

- Jordan, it looks so good.
- [Jordan] Getting there.

So good.
So what do you got left?

So I wanted
to talk to you

- about the wheel
opening and the rear.
- Okay.

Your drawings
kind of have it
going back like this.

I was wondering
if we want it more sweet.

To match the front
a little more. Or what--

What exactly we're after?

So the front does
have a lot more sweep.

It's a little bit more
of a longer the angle.

I think the back one needs
to be stumped up a little bit

because of the diameter
of the wheel

and the fact that
the back wheel is bigger.

We're gonna have that wheel
well open a little bit higher.

Not as much as
the front,

but let's take
a look here.

[Jordan] So I did
a little bit more

a longer sweep
right there but--

- [Dave] Yeah,
that's too far.
- [Jordan] Yeah.

Go right there.

And split the difference.

Come back towards me.

Your measurement
from here to there,

Something just looks
out of place here.

Centerline of the wheel is

right here in the tubs
where I can see it.

Am I seeing
something different?

Um...

[Will] Where I'm at now
is I've got a really good
shell for the floor

and we need to get it
out of the computer.

And turn it into
a real piece.

[man] We're definitely
pressed for time
at this point.

[Will] I stretched it
through here,

and then I'm gonna
shrink this.

It's gonna
take a while.

[man] Aluminum,
you want to weld it on AC
for this stuff fairly thin.

You want to be
careful not to put
too much heat into it.

There's going to be
a little bit of massaging

to get it to
fit that perfectly.

[Eric] We don't really know
what we're looking at yet.

It was built
in the computer

so technically,
it should go together.

But in real life
it's a little different.

- [man 1] Okay. Ready?
- [Eric] Yup.

[man 1] What is this thing?

[man 2] They haven't
showed you
what it goes to.

I thought it was
gonna be a stegosaurus
when we were done but...

[man 2] You know
what it is, Dude.

[man 1] Make it look
all pretty

- and then it's
gonna get buried
- [man 2] Right.

That's gonna be cool.

[man] They fit great
in the computer.

I don't know
what happened.

[Will] It seems like
everything I get into
these days,

everything is a challenge
for me.
