♪

hey. Farmtruck and azn here.

We got some big news for you all.

For the past three months,

we've been working on a secret project,

behind closed doors, with master fabricator jeff lutz,

who has worked with us on some very special projects

over the years.

He also happens to be an okc racer.

To work towards --

I'm just gonna say it. - Okay.

It's so exciting.

Okay. The farmtruck and azn show.

Woo hoo!

Okay. Now, so, when the virus hit,

the film crew packed up, and went home.

We all needed to hunker down.

We needed to do the social distancing.

Because this virus has hit the brakes on everything,

we didn't want to make you guys wait too long.

So, we're gonna give you all a mini tour

of every single build that we have been working on.

Nothing is finished. Everything has just started.

But you guys are gonna get a sneak peak

into what we're gonna present.

Let's lock the door, and we'll give them a tour.

Let's go fishing.

The farmtruck is notorious on the streets...

...In oklahoma city...

...And even across the country.

It's the ultimate sleeper vehicle.

Man: 500 bucks.

Yeah, we'll take $500.

Perfect for luring on racers on the street,

and leaving them in the dust.

There's more under that truck than what you guys said.

Azn: It's iconic to street racing.

And we built it.

Farmtruck: - We're farmtruck and azn.

And we build things that are out of this world.

I want this thing to be lit.

Like the dung beetle --

an upgraded vw beetle that takes everyone by surprise.

The power scare -- the souped up mobility scooter.

A monorail and suv hybrid,

the gonorail.

That's the way you do it.

The farmbird --

a 1976 firebird, farmtruck style.

My eyeballs fell out.

Farmtruck: - The tri-powered trike --

a pedal, motor, - and rocket-powered tricycle.

And the moredoor nova --

a parody of the legendary murder nova of okc.

And now, we're gonna take things to new heights.

Alright, alright. Gentlemen.

We have been working non-stop...

-Isn't it beautiful? -Okay.

...Behind closed doors...

Oh, this is sketchy. I don't like this anymore.

...To bring the world a whole bunch of new and epic builds...

We're on television!

The world's fastest prison bus.

It's not gonna work.

Camper car.

Holy [bleep].

What is that?

...That you can't even begin to imagine.

Air cannon car.

Put that together.

So tonight...

He's got that look in his eye.

...We're here to take you behind the curtain.

He's gonna kill us.

...To give you a sneak peak of all the builds...

1977 chevy sport van.

...We have going on right now.

Oh [bleep].

I think we've learned this is dangerous.

Nothing finished yet.

Jeff: There's a pretty good fire in there.

And now, it's time - for the real work to begin.

Lutz, that's your job, right?

It's gonna be bigger...

Oh, [bleep].

...Better, faster,

and more dangerous.

alright, this is - the most exciting project

in f&a history.

Maybe the most dangerous.

The most dangerous for you.

Yeah. Yes. The most exciting for me.

Yes. - Exactly.

Agree to disagree. - Okay.

Air cannon car.

Put that together. - Okay.

Yeah.

So, we went to detroit.

We went up there to speedcult.

And they had a small air cannon car that they made.

It's kind of like a junior dragster looking thing.

Yeah.

♪

this vehicle -- hey, they invented it.

We're just gonna take it to the next level.

Yeah.

It's gonna be bigger, better, faster, and more dangerous.

I'm glad you're, here bro. It's obviously important.

Don't you already have a million of these?

I kind of do.

But I need that - to explain something to you,

which is gonna be our next amazing build.

This is what it's gonna look like. Okay?

Okay. - Okay.

Okay. - This is the air.

You ready? - Yeah.

Oh!

That's...

Whoo!

That's a -- we've got a casualty.

[ laughs ]

that's how it's gonna happen, bro.

So, yeah.

I feel good about this already.

Dude, that's the concept.

Okay, so, you want the air to push it?

You don't want, like, a nitrous bottle in there...

No. ...Propelling it.

Right. You want to push it with air,

and see how far it can go?

Exactly. You know, get you in it,

and cast you off.

Rewind that. Rewind that portion.

Who -- who's driving?

You're driving. I understand.

You're the lightest guy we've got.

Now I hear you.

Light, light, light. Yeah. So...

Lightweight's the key.

You remember that monkey that went to space?

Did he ever make it back?

I know a monkey that can steer.

Well, what if the air hits the back of this car,

and it breaks my back?

Okay, the way I see it is

the pipe is gonna be, like,

between your legs. You know?

It's getting better. It's getting better.

I can really -- I can really see it.

Piecing it together in my mind.

I think I have a full understanding

that this pipe is running between my legs, right?

And could fully -- it could fail, right?

I mean, that's -- I mean what pressure is that,

whenever you just -- you lose all of this?

Lose all of this. We're gonna be fine.

Are you using any of that? We're gonna be fine.

We're good.

Yeah, I think we've got it all lined out.

Sounds -- sounds safe, and sounds like

we're gonna have a blast.

Somebody's gonna have a blast.

[ both laugh ]

yeah.

Okay, so here's how it's gonna work.

We take a big air tank with a pipe coming out of the air tank,

kind of like that, right there.

Okay, like that. - Yeah.

We've got this car, right, with a pipe inside the car.

We slide the pipe inside the pipe.

We have a valve that opens immediately.

And we shoot azn off into the abyss.

Essentially, it's like a potato gun that you've seen,

or like a pumpkin launcher.

Azn's the potato.

Or the pumpkin. - Either way, I'm like a gourd.

You know?

Let's talk about - the dangerous situations...

Okay.

...That we've been in in the past.

We've done a lot of crazy things over the years.

♪

well, the power scare.

Right?

That thing was scary, and I rode it.

He's cooking.

How about all the laps we made in the durotruck on the dirt?

Okay. Yeah, that's true.

[bleep]

we're alright. We're alright.

Remember when I had to be put inside that giant bubble?

When we were competing?

The airbag monty. - That's it.

Swim, azn.

That was sketchy.

Then, the rickshaw.

No. No. Dude, I am not feeling it.

[ screaming ]

oh.

The rickshaw taxi in the antique store.

That was with you driving.

Sorry. We'll stop when it sounds expensive.

Oh [bleep].

Let's bring up - the elephant in the room.

Okay. - The nitrous chair.

I don't remember that. What happened?

Yeah, well, I'm glad you don't remember it,

because I almost lost my best friend.

Oh, my god. I almost lost you?

Yeah. - Oh.

Just like that. - Oh, my god.

Three.

That's when you became the fastest street outlaw in history.

I'm alright. I'm alright.

How do I apologize to my best friend?

You find a new best friend.

[bleep]

so, you know, we decided --

we were gonna just build, like, a junior dragster looking thing.

And then, we had - to find something unique.

We went to the mad scientist connections,

went over to a friend of his.

Paul? -Yes?

What's up man? How you doing? Are you alright?

Doing great. How you doing, azn?

Yeah. Alright.

Yeah. What do you think about that little thing?

Well, we need something light.

You know?

What is that?

Well, it's the last drizzling remains of a glider.

-This? -It didn't like it glided too well.

[ laughter ]

this is more like what we need.

Azn: For high-speed gliding.

Yeah, right? I like this.

I want to know where the air bag system is.

Where the a.B.S. Brakes are.

You know, you got to have steel-belted tires.

No turn signals.

We're kind of looking at something

that doesn't belong on the ground.

Farmtruck: There's a steel-belted tire.

I don't think anybody should get back in this.

Farmtruck: Azn, get on that end. Pick this thing up.

Let's see.

It's a challenge, I guess.

Yeah.

It's pretty light, bro.

Well, that's relative. It's pretty light.

It's relative.

They die -- did they die in this?

-No. -Okay.

No bloods or brains.

If we can get this,

I think this might be exactly what we're looking for.

He's being ambitious.

He is. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

Is that it?

Okay. It fits like a glove.

Oh, yeah.

What you see is what you get, man.

We still don't know how to conceptualize it in our mind.

I still haven't mentally prepared myself for the journey.

I want to talk about the air cannon car.

It's complicated.

And I want to make sure that we're all on the same page.

Okay. - Okay?

We are going to get an air tank.

So, then, we'll have a trailer underneath,

which, the air compressor will be up here.

Then, we have this valve, here.

Okay? Then, we have this pipe, here.

Oh it, goes running all the way through the car? Yeah.

So, we have to get this pipe low in the car,

so we have room for our driver.

But the driver is gonna sit...

On the pipe.

...In here.

And then, this area -- this area, here...

I never should have gave him the chalk.

...This area, here, is in danger from everything.

-Get in there. -I'm not getting in there.

Why not?

I vacuumed all the spiders out.

Azn: Lutz's team is also helping us out.

Jeff lutz junior, the next generation of fabricators.

Ed, the master mechanic.

Ian, the team's right-hand man.

And tommy.

We don't know what tommy does.

Jeff: Get in there, dude.

Look at that. -Get in there.

Come on. -I'm not [bleep]

damn it, we're building this for you.

Azn: Alright, dude. Alright.

Make you -- make me happy.

That's gonna tip forward.

-That was a perfect fit. -Who was in this?

His feet don't even touch the pedals.

Dude, I'm serious. This seat is too small for me.

-Excuse me. -Oh.

Oh, my god.

Okay, I got some head room.

He's gonna have a helmet on, isn't he?

Yeah, he'll have a helmet.

Azn: That's the most unsafe thing I've ever sat in.

-Farmtruck. -Oh, how about this?

Look at this mechanism, here.

Do we need a parachute?

Farmtruck: Parachutes weigh too much.

Oh weigh -- weigh too much.

Do we need air bags, in case of, like, a front end collision.

Wow. Feel that. How smooth that is.

I'm gonna need, like, a roll cage.

Man, dude, I might need padding all around me, like a net...

Maybe, like a -- - like a fire extinguisher sys--

the whole thing should fill up with foam.

Alright, guys, I think we're all on the same page, here.

I'm excited. Group huddle?

Just me.

Were you saying something? Huh?

I'm glad we worked it all out.

I'm glad we worked it out.

Your trophy, sir.

[ loud coughing ]

-sorry. -What's up azn?

You guys know what happened on March 5th, 2006?

Yeah, it crashed. Okay?

In case you guys were wondering what happened to it.

Why no one wanted it. -This?

-Yeah, yeah. -How do you know?

Well, from the tampa bay soaring society of aeronautics.

Okay? Fatalities -- 85.

-In this? -No.

Zero fatalities, but two occupants. Okay?

-So, they lived. -Aircraft damage -- substantial.

Here's part of the wreckage, right here.

Azn: And speaking of wreckage,

you guys want to hear a little bit more?

How about in 1937, when amelia earhart, you know,

took her final ride in an airplane.

And how about the hindenburg?

Same year.

Yeah. Yeah, disaster after disaster.

Okay, you know what azn?

Why are you talking about all these disasters?

Do you want -- do you want to be added to the list?

No. No, I don't.

Azn: Coming up...

That's the creepiest car I've ever seen in my life.

...The builds just keep coming.

It's alive.

And we're stopping at nothing...

Car building is not glamorous.

Azn: ...To make the craziest...

I'm loving this thing.

...Most outlandish creations...

...That only we could think up.

Camper car.

Oh, god.

Really, the goal is to see

how fast we can make a vehicle go,

0 to 60 with just air propulsion.

Right? That's essentially what we'll do.

Farmtruck: We need to figure out what psi

we need to launch this thing at,

so we created a mini version of the air cannon car.

We're testing the air tank to see if it will hold.

It's holding. It's enough.

I think we're only - gonna get one shot at this,

so we might as well go all out.

You know?

She ain't making it back.

I agree.

At least a 100.

-Coming up 105. -Oh, sweet.

I'd say we're good.

We decided that we would go ahead

and put over a 100 psi in this thing,

just to test this thing out.

Because we need to know the unknowns of this thing.

It's essentially a bomb.

Jeff: Baby azn's going for a rip.

-He ain't coming back -no.

Azn: Short life.

We have this steel we put in the racecar on the street.

It's called "draggy." - yeah.

So, that will give us some pretty good data --

you know, the g-force, the 0 to 60.

So, with that data we can figure out weight,

you know, with this car

versus what we're going to do with the new car.

We can scale it. Yeah, we can scale it all up.

Air pressure.

And we can just compare apples to apples.

Dang, lutz, you bill nye the science guy on us.

♪

azn: Just so y'all know, my spot's here.

Nobody gets to take my spot.

I'm behind the -- I'm back here.

Alright, I got some friction reducer.

Okay. Corn starch.

Azn: Shouldn't we --

dude, I think those wheels should be stuck forward.

It's just gonna turn immediately.

Jeff: Well, at this point, it is what it is.

-Let's try it. -Okay.

-Back up. -This is a good look.

You're not doing it yet.

We are right at 100 psi.

Right? -Just do it.

No, no, no, no. -I'm gonna count down.

Azn: No, no, no, no. We're not ready at all.

Are you serious? -I don't like this. We're ready.

-Ready? -Locked and loaded.

Ears and eyes people.

In three, two, one.

Oh, [bleep].

[ indistinct shouting ]

[ indistinct talking ]

man: You are so screwed. You are so screwed.

[ indistinct talking ]

-everything came off. -Oh, my god.

Farmtruck: Baby azn! Oh, no.

Oh! Why?

Why?

Two, one.

♪

♪

this says it went 0 to 30 miles an hour in 0.3 seconds.

O.3. 30 mile an hour.

So, it'd be 4.5 g's.

-Wow. -Wow. That's cool.

I think we've learned this is dangerous.

Yes.

We can figure out the weight to power versus the air.

I mean, [bleep], that thing bucked across

the parking lot - pretty [bleep]damn fast.

I think it would have out-ran the farmtruck.

[ laughter ]

jeff: It was-- but we got the data.

Let's go back, and look at it,

and we'll figure it out from there.

-Alright. -Everybody grab some parts?

This project may never get done, ladies and gentlemen.

This is one of those just wishful, hopeful,

dreamy type of things, where, you know,

we had this laying around.

But I don't really foresee this ever getting done.

So, let's go ahead and move on to the next project,

where we can actually continue to talk something else,

that's less dangerous.

But this one's the most exciting,

and the most dangerous.

This is gonna work out nice.

You know, there's certain things that you see in your life,

that you remember like it was yesterday.

Like your dad naked?

No. Not like that.

Everyone remembers that --

the first time you accidentally do that.

I saw something when I was a kid.

And we were driving down the highway, just like this.

Okay. - Right?

And then, all of a sudden...

Have you ever seen what happens

when a trailer - comes off of a trailer hitch?

Oh. No.

But I can imagine it.

This camper trailer must have come off a truck behind us.

Okay. And this trailer is passing us.

How?

It just had momentum.

And it's going straight.

And the first thing I though of is that it was a car.

Okay. - You know?

That somebody was driving that.

It quickly, you know, swerved,

and went off to the side of the road.

That's my idea for the next build.

What? To let a trailer go loose, and pass you?

Kind of. - Okay.

Just think, if we took a trailer, like a camper,

just the shell of it, and we put it down over a car.

Ooh.

Okay? With, like, the front --

tow hitch on the front.

I kind of know where you're going with this.

Dude, we could wreck some havoc on the highway with that.

It's a camper that drives down the road.

You know, an old air stream, something nostalgic.

You know, something that everyone recognizes immediately

as a bumper-pull camper. - Okay.

Well, let's go look for one. You want to go look?

I know a place. - Okay.

I know a guy that's got one, and it's really close by the shop.

Just promise me it was built after world war ii.

That's all I'm asking.

Farmtruck: She's a beaut.

Azn: Is she for sale?

She is for sale. Okay.

What year do you think it is?

-'40's if I'm remembering what-- -you think '40's?

Alright. Hey, it's complete with a door knocker.

Wait. Get in there. Let me see if it works.

It came off in my hand. I can fix it. I'm a door guy.

Okay. I can fix that.

Complete with screen door, hey.

Ooh. More mud dobbers.

They're-- they're hibernating.

Here. Get in there, and let me make sure this...

♪

see if we can sell him something.

-Who is it? -Oh.

What do you think?

Well, nothing has lived in this for a long time.

No. It's been floating around us for about six, seven years.

I love it, dude. I think it's got a cool look to it.

Missing a door.

Azn: I guess that's air-conditioning.

Man, all the outlets are just so old.

Well, it's -- like I said, wood frame, all the above.

It's old.

They don't make them like that no more.

This whole thing is coming down.

Farmtruck: It's a beaut.

'40's. It's old. It's dirty. It's just my speed.

I love this thing. What about you, azn?

I'm thinking about calling it "humpty dumpty,"

'cause we'll probably never put it back together again.

[ laughs ]

the trailer's good, except for this.

Alright, we got to get out of here.

That's cancerous.

Where do you have to be on it?

How much you gonna give us to take it?

For scrap metal, but I don't know.

Give me six?

Six? Six what?

We're not paving the parking lot.

What about...

What about $400?

I'd do that. Yeah.

Lock that in.

Sounds like a deal.

It's gonna be a very interesting

vehicle after we get done with it.

Well, I can't wait to see it.

Jeff lutz is gonna -- he's gonna hate it.

No, he's gonna be excited about it.

When he sees this thing, and then he gets

our vision in his head...

He'll quit. ...He's gonna be online.

He's gonna get a... He loves this thing.

...New job. - No?

Yeah. - Huh?

How's your side over there?

Oh [bleep] the door. The door. I got to get...

Azn: Hey! Hey!

Are you leaving me?

Hey!

Come on.

Yeah. Alright.

Hey! Hey!

You ain't leaving me.

[ laughs ]

♪

azn: Right there.

Let me tell you something.

Farmtruck: How about that, lutz?

Check it out.

You haven't never seen nothing like this.

-What is that? -What the [bleep] is that?

-That's not a good sign. -Lutz. Junior. This...

Is the most exciting build that we have ever thought of.

Azn: I can see it. I can see the excitement in your eyes.

I can tell how excited they are.

This is not it. It's amazing.

I thought they would love it.

I was wrong. - Get this, okay?

-Talk to me. -Camper car.

It will be a tow camper we can tow behind a truck.

It will also be able to drive under its own power.

Just imagine, dude. He's gonna leave the country.

A camper car driving down the road.

Swerve around, you know, freak people out.

You know? It will be great.

We just lost jeff lutz. We lost him.

The [bleep] damn wall is outside the vehicle, here.

Azn: You're gonna hurt his feelings.

You're not helping. - You're gonna hurt his feelings.

You're supposed to be the cheap one.

-I tried to... -I fixed it.

I fixed -- dude, we got a deal on this thing okay.

He got a deal. It wasn't my money.

This is going to be the funnest project

that we have going right now.

Fun?

Just think about the excitement, you know?

Because we're gonna be able to tow it if we want.

And we're gonna be able to drive it if we want,

this won't be our first trailer project.

We have some previous history with trailers, if you remember.

That's right.

Azn: Oh, that's good. That's good.

-You got it? -We got it. We got it.

Farmtruck: Okay, azn, try to start it.

-Oh, no, no, no. -It's pissing on us.

Azn: When you got to go, you got to go.

-Hurry up, man. -Go, go, go, go, go.

The boat trailer.

And we raced that twin turbo porsche.

Who could forget that?

Let's do some fishing.

Dude, love the car.

Do you think it could beat that old farmtruck?

I think I could.

You dude, I'm gonna take the boat off.

Farmtruck: No, no, no, no, no, no. Don't take the boat off.

I know we can whoop this rich guy's ass,

even with a boat in tow.

It's a recipe for disaster.

Go!

Hurry up, bro. - He's gaining, he's gaining.

Farmtruck: Don't worry. I got this.

Do we still have the boat?

We still got it.

You know we're not sure exactly how it's gonna work.

But we know, when we work our jigsaw puzzles,

we get to make our pieces fit.

And that's exactly what we're gonna do.

Jeff: So, you want to put this over the top of a car.

You were talking about an air stream.

This looks like you may have it pulled it out of a stream.

Farmtruck: It's a little rough around the edges.

Everything you bring in here is rough around the edges.

Everything.

But we can afford rough around the edges.

You know? This is gonna be the most exciting build

that we've ever done.

I like the skin.

But the wood's got to go. Get some aluminum framing.

Tubing, bend it.

Re-skin it, so it's super light.

Set it on top of whatever.

I love that idea. That goes right over a car.

I think we gonna need something other than a car.

That's pretty long to fit on a car chassis.

What about a stubby nose van?

-A van. -That's a good idea.

-Okay. -That's rare.

That would get you closer to that window to look out.

That's easy to find.

Junior: And a van's already top heavy, so, you know,

it has the suspension to somewhat adequate.

-That's a pretty good idea. -I like the van idea.

Farmtruck: I like the van idea because we'd be right up front.

We'd be able to see out the side windows and the front window.

-Not a huge van. -Yeah.

Like a mid '70's van-ish.

Yeah. Like, do you want a water bed in the back?

Please bring me something that runs.

This is the build of the century, right here.

You know?

That's a lot of work.

Farmtruck: So, we're only gonna use the skin on this thing.

That way, it's lightweight.

Jeff lutz and junior have built this exoskeleton

out of aluminum.

And we'll put the skin over it.

We took what we needed off of it.

We saved all the outer skin.

We scrapped the wood frame on the old camper.

Azn: One thing we did learn from this whole project

is to keep jeff lutz off the forklift.

You know?

Lutz has -- he's checked out. Lutz has checked out now.

Now, he's just -- his eyes are red.

Farmtruck: Lutz, like anyone, builds up frustrations.

No. Not like anyone.

This is gonna be - a good way for him to release

some of the frustrations from farmtruck and azn.

Lutz is no longer with us for about 10 minutes.

♪

I told you. I told everybody.

It's over.

Lutz is...

[ laughter ]

he's got that look in his eye.

Azn: Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's a conviction, right there.

Oh, my god, it scares me.

Oh, god. Oh, god.

Take it easy, lutz. I want to save that.

[bleep] he's completely taken over.

♪

farmtruck: That's nice.

We're taking you back to pet rocks and peace signs.

Play that funky music.

We went to texas to check out this 1977 chevy sport van

that could possibly hide inside the camper's body,

and make our crazy project work.

Want to come look at it?

-I do. -Okay.

Yeah. You know, I didn't think we had that much rust down here

in south texas. -That's surface rust, man.

That ain't -- -surface rust?

It's a v8, automatic, air-conditioned,

power steering, power brake.

When was the last time it ran and drove down the road?

1990...

Three, four, five, something like that.

There's a lot of rust on this thing.

But you know what we always say.

Don't trust the rust.

But we wouldn't want to ruin a nice '77 short van

to do what we're gonna do.

So, it's perfect for what we're gonna do with it.

It still has the shag carpet in it.

It still has the console over the windshield.

All that dirt come with it?

Every bit of it.

Azn: Oh, look at the shag on the roof.

No one does that anymore.

How much did you want for this thing?

$2,500.

What about 1,500 bucks?

I think that's a good, fair offer.

Let's do 1,800, and you can have the emblems.

Where else you gonna find another shorty van? 1,800 bucks.

They probably did things in vans

that we really can't talk about right now.

If this van's a rocking, we window shopping. Huh?

Is that not -- is that not the--

that's -- no.

A lot of times, - azn gets board around the shop,

and he's looking for things to do.

Well, a lot of times,

I'll give him a job that he doesn't exactly want,

but it's something to do.

So, you know, hey, this thing from 1977

had about 30 years of rat crap in it

that needed to be cleaned out.

You know, when it comes to crap,

I guess I'm the man for the job all of the time.

Oh, my god.

Why?

Car building is not always the most glamorous job in the --

stay in school, kids.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh, god, no.

It's like reverse taxidermy.

Oh, this is grosstown.

I fully expected the van to be disgusting.

It was. I'm pretty sure that this 45¢ mask

was the only thing that separated me

between the ratatouille virus.

And thankfully, we had the mad scientist

and his super charged water hose,

or this thing would still be filled with crap.

Yeah, this is gonna do it.

This is gonna do it.

Yeah, baby! Oh, yeah.

Azn: Yeah, this is gonna do it. This is gonna do it.

Yeah, baby!

Oh, yeah.

That's disgusting.

Oh, yeah. Get it all out.

Maybe we should put the nozzle back on it,

and just put the hose inside the van.

-You think I'll do it? -Let's try it.

Okay. It's like a dishwasher.

Just gonna cleanse it, you know?

Oh yeah, it's getting a good wash now.

Yeah.

That was a good a idea.

Oh, yeah.

Really cleaning it from the inside out.

You know? Ohm yeah.

Oh, look at that.

Oh, it's crystal clean.

Spick and span.

I feel disgusting.

And I'll probably just fill my entire bath tub

with hand sanitizer, and bathe in it for six hours,

until I feel like some of my skin is gone.

It's like a new van in there.

It's, like, brand-new.

Oh, my god.

In this '70's style van, as cool as it is,

with the shag, and the sliding doors,

and all the dirt and rat crap in it --

we're gonna be able to conceal it with this.

Jeff: So, this is where the original door went.

That door will not work there.

There's no way.

Huge problem. - Huge problem.

Alright, azn. The original camper door is here.

We just figured out this problem.

-It's on fire. -It's on fire.

Hey, bro, it's on fire bro.

It's on fire, dawg. It's on fire. Man.

Oh, man, that things on fire.

That ain't -- there's -- what are we gonna do?

We realized that all the doors are in the wrong spot.

The windows are in the wrong spot.

This is why you read the instructions.

Well, there's no instructions for putting a camper over a van.

Jeff: So, can you see me?

-Absolutely not. -Okay.

Azn: If you were a small child, I would kill you.

Right. - Okay.

Therefore, that's why the buses

have them short noses that sink down.

So, do you think we should lower this, so you can see a little?

My vision is actually pretty good.

But once you place yourself inside the van,

and then inside the camper,

it's like one of those russian dolls

with a peephole through it.

Dude, you can't see a thing.

Do you mind if I take a look, here?

-Go for it. -Please do.

Go for it.

Farmtruck: - Because I think we might need to rename this thing to...

Blindspot. -Oh, I like that.

Blindspot's pretty good.

I like that.

Jeff: You don't see [bleep].

You can't see nothing.

You can't see nothing.

It's the -- it's the biggest blind spot I've ever seen.

If I can't see you, you can't see me.

The blindspot is 3 feet.

[ laughter ]

that is the biggest [bleep] damn blindspot.

It's nuts.

[bleep]

scared the crap out of me.

-I'm out. -It's falling apart already.

You know what we should do with this?

We should take it to one of those trailer races.

Okay. I am gonna increase your life insurance policy.

And when you are gone after that race,

I'm gonna sell all of this.

Hey, if you guys want to buy raffle tickets,

we'll probably be raffling all of this off.

The more you buy, the better chance you have to win.

That's how gambling works, kids.

So, get ready.

Don't sell anything.

Alright?

Azn, we're not having an auction.

It's on fire!

♪

what are you doing?

I'll figure this out later.

I've figured out our next idea for our next build.

Okay. I'm all ears.

I think that what the world wants to see is burnouts.

You know, that's a good point,

because whenever you're, like, driving down the road,

and you see somebody, what do they always do?

They get this face on them, you know, of excitement.

Spin them. Burnout. I want to see it.

Everybody wants to see that.

America loves burnouts, right?

So, dude this thing needs to be on fire, right?

Like, it needs to be the baddest burnout vehicle

that the world has ever seen.

I'm liking it. I don't think you are.

I don't think you get what I'm trying to say, okay?

So I've brought a little bit of a demonstration. Okay?

No, I understand a burnout.

I don't think you get it.

I'm saying a burnout.

I want this thing to be lit.

I can tell you don't understand what I'm saying.

Well, I kind of understand a burnout.

You know? I mean I've done them pretty much all my life.

[ mutters ]

azn: A little stir, a little dab will do you.

[ mutters ]

this will work.

Huh? - Alright.

What are you doing?

Just imagine this is the burnout pad.

Okay? And this is the vehicle.

Okay.

Right, like a regular burnout.

Everybody knows what a burnout is.

Tires are smoking. "whoo! America!"

you've got the stars and stripes, you know?

I want a little syrup on my pancakes.

You know what I'm saying? You know?

You know, that's flammable.

I would take it easy.

It's never enough.

Anyway, so, here we go.

Ready to rock.

Yeah? You like?

I want people to be like "whoo! We can't put out that fire."

you can't -- - dude, you can't stop it, dude.

This is a crowd pleaser, right there.

It's going, baby. It's going, baby.

Look at that.

Look at that. Look at that.

Okay.

Do you get it?

Dude, I get it.

Alright. We don't need all this.

I don't think you get it.

No, I do get it.

It's my job to get you excited about the projects here.

I want the heat coming off this thing.

You're burning a hole in my table.

I get it.

Look, here's where I need your help.

Okay.

I need your help picking out a car.

Let's talk.

I like the idea.

I understand the concept.

And I think it's great.

Dude, I want it to do mile-long burn outs.

Dude, that's like old-school drag racing back in the day,

before there were pimp juice,

before there was track prep.

Right? That's what they did.

They did a burnout for a quarter mile.

Oh, to lay the rubber down, 'cause that's all they had.

They just smoked them all the way, old-school style.

Really? Well, that's what it needs to do.

This thing is gonna be incredible.

Typically, drag racers have a purpose for their burnouts --

get the tires hot enough

so that you can adhere some rubber to the surface.

Get them sticky. And use that to your advantage.

This, we're just doing it for destruction.

You know...

We got something against tires.

And if we happen to break a world record

while we're doing it, it's a bonus.

Icing on the cake. - Yeah.

I like it. We're gonna do it.

We're gonna do it.

Azn: Alright, so, I know what guys are gonna say.

"azn, it's impossible."

but I want to introduce our very first space program.

F&a space program.

This will actually be the very first car

to do a burnout in zero gravity.

Huh? What do you think about that?

The smoke wouldn't go anywhere.

It would just be smoke all the time, 24/7.

You could see the smoke from space.

-Wrong. -Okay. -No.

No. This is our burnout car, okay?

When we went to australia a couple of years ago,

we were influenced by the australian-style burnouts,

which were awesome.

The australians have something against tires.

Hate them. - And we haven't figured it out.

No. - But we like it.

Yeah.

They have definitely have taken burnouts

to the next level, to put it mildly.

Yes, and summernats is the biggest even in australia.

So, if you want for us to go, just to compete.

We can't bring the farmtruck, dude.

What if it gets tied up in customs, or something?

That's why we're talking about it, man.

What if we...

Built another truck?

We were inspired to build a farmtruck burnout vehicle.

Oh. Oh [bleep].

Oh, yeah.

This is going to be awesome.

She'll do a burnout on grass.

That's all we need, right there.

We're ready for - the australian burnouts.

They were kind enough to allow us to ship

a left-hand drive vehicle all the way to australia,

as long as we removed all the asbestos.

Australia, here we come.

We got a crew of people at c.I.T.

To make this thing a burnout king.

This school has one of the country's

best automotive programs.

Alright dude, we're here.

How you doing, man? How you doing?

Man: Really good, farmtruck.

Barely made it through customs.

The man brought straw into the country.

I smuggled straw.

Do you want to look at the truck?

Yeah, I'd love to.

They got it done, man.

They got a lot of suspension on it.

Yeah, they custom-made the sway bars.

We wanted to make sure that it wasn't -- wouldn't roll.

So when you tip it into the corner,

it holds a decent shape on the parallel to the burnout pad.

Okay.

♪

I can see we're gonna get a lot of work done.

Can't do skids without tires.

Azn: They call those "skids" over in australia,

so we affectionately named that truck the skidtruck.

And you know what? They gave us a good education out there.

♪

dang, dude, this is exciting.

Look at all the people.

these guys are killing it.

Huge clouds of smoke.

They're whipping around the burnout box.

They're popping both tires, and they freaking explode.

Not perfect, but cheap.

starting with removing this engine.

but this thing's coming off right now.

One...Two...

Motor's out.

The chassis didn't exist because it was pretty much just rust.

Right? Like, it was falling apart

at every single anchor point.

What kind of screwdriver's that?

It's a really good one.

Azn: And then, go your way. Yeah.

Oh, my god. -More patina.

You know, the most exciting thing about the burnout car is,

potentially, we could break a world record

for the world's longest burnout.

I've been thinking about it,

and maybe we should set the bar a little lower,

and maybe go for, like, a state record.

Like regionals.

You've got to qualify. You do. Yeah.

And that's what we're gonna do with this thing.

We're missing part of the bumper right there.

Can you find that? -No.

You see the piece that it's missing?

No, I can't see...

Well, stand back, and look at it.

You can't see something that's missing.

Look at it. Look at it.

I can't see anything that's missing.

Now, over here. Okay.

Farmtruck: I've got a vision for this thing,

and we are seeing eye to eye on this right?

Yeah. We are, we are, we are. Yeah. We are.

This is a case when you actually eat some of the rust.

So, it's about a four-hour trip.

And after today, he'll be completely fine.

But what you're seeing is a product of that.

Here, take a bite. I saved some for you.

And the captain said "who will tell a story?"

and the first mate said, "I will."

it was a dark and stormy night.

-Wait a second. -And the captain said,

"who will tell --" -am I on drugs?

Why are the dogs sitting on the chairs?

Farmtruck: Let me get on with it.

This involves...

The haunted hearse.

Oh. Oh, that explains a lot.

The curse of the hearse.

We have been building on that thing for years.

Yeah. Too many years.

Some folks say it's a haunted car.

Well, at least me. Some folks say it's not.

I say it is.

Yeah. Thank you. Appreciate that.

We've been working on this project for years,

off and on, but we've never made

a full-time commitment to the hearse.

-There's a reason. -Is it time?

It's time.

There's a lot of 405 and farmtruck and azn history

with this old beast, right here.

Wouldn't you agree, azn?

Azn: Yeah. Still creepy.

Still creepy. I checked her out.

Azn's still a little paranoid about this.

There's a lot of hearse still left on this.

So, do you remember - actually getting the hearse

a long time ago?

I do. - Okay.

I do. - Yeah.

Man: There she is.

That's the creepiest car I've ever seen in my life.

Oh, my god, dude.

This thing's horrifying.

This thing is awesome.

Dude, I don't know about this, dude.

I love this thing. This thing creeps me out, dude.

-Don't open anything up. -Dude, it smells.

Man: She's definitely got some spirits with her.

-I don't believe in all that. -Don't say -- don't say that.

Ghosts freak me out.

Farmtruck: What's the number on this thing?

No. This is not a serious buy.

Man: I don't know she's pretty rare.

5 grand.

No way. I might go 3 grand.

Okay. I'll do it.

Alright? I'll do it.

Alright.

[ engine starts ]

it's alive!

Azn: How does this thing even run?

This car has possessed you.

[ laughs ]

we brought in the mad scientist.

We started looking the thing over.

I love this thing, man.

Okay, I dropped this off at 8:00 this morning for detail and wax,

and it doesn't look like anything's gotten done at all.

Wow.

That's creepy.

Wow.

We should not open it.

Farmtruck: This is strange.

-What is that thing? -I don't know.

Azn. -No.

-Azn! -No!

[ imitates laughter ] -no, don't do that bro.

Don't do that.

Don't do that.

It's a 1958 cadillac hearse.

It was known to be haunted at one time.

I feel lightheaded.

So, then, we got the idea, "people think it's haunted.

Let's make it haunted." and we did.

What we want to do is have us inside the seat,

with our heads inside headrests.

I know.

So when you look in the car, it's just gonna be a seat.

And we're gonna be driving down the road.

-Alright. -Let's look at it.

You know, making a driver-less hearse was a feat in itself.

We had to custom-make the original seats,

and make them seat covers large enough

so that we could hide within the frame of the seat.

You want to see the finishing piece?

Man: Let's tie them down underneath this thing,

and see what happens.

It is awesome.

Okay, that's a tight fit.

Comfort isn't the exact word I would use.

Claustrophobic.

Like being trapped in an elevator or a coffin.

We had a good stint with it.

We had some stunts - hiding in some seats, right?

Oh, my god.

-Don't forget your sunglasses. -I got them.

Okay.

We're about to put the "fun" in "funeral."

[ laughs ]

here we go.

I can't see [bleep].

Look at all this smoke.

Oh, my god I can't see nothing, bro.

Are you pushing the button?

I ain't touching nothing.

You just go when they go,

'cause I can't tell nothing.

I got to trust him on this one.

So, one of the first victims of this hearse project

was actually chuck.

It was chuck and dave.

Yeah.

Two racers on the 405 list here in ok city.

Here we go. Here we go.

Chuck: What the...?

We roll up on them,

obviously, chuck doesn't have any idea what's going on.

Dave's brain starts turning.

Dave is doing math, - and chuck is calling his priest.

There's no one driving that pile of [bleep].

[ laughs ]

what the...?

That is the greatest thing ever.

I have never in my life -- I was freaking out.

[ laughter ]

you gonna jump in the drivers seat?

Farmtruck: No.

Azn: No.

Alright, scoot over.

Azn: Oh, my god!

This is the best date I've ever been on, dave.

[ laughter ]

I ain't even got to work the pedals.

It was hot in those seats, let me tell you.

Oh, yeah. That was a hot day, wasn't it?

Ooh, man. It was a steamer.

And that police officer.

He did not have the fun.

Azn: I'm about to smoke all these fools.

Farmtruck: Dust them off.

I'm dusting them. I'm dusting them.

Oh, yeah, this is good stuff.

Uh-oh. - Dude, is that us?

It's the cops.

Are we getting pulled over?

I hope they have a sense of humor.

I don't know what to do, bro.

Hold still. Hold still.

Kill it.

Farmtruck: You know, this cop's coming up to the window.

At first, I was thinking "well, maybe he'll look in there,

and think no one's there, and he'll just move on."

-hey. -Yeah?

-What are you doing? -Just driving.

Whenever I think about the hearse

I think about hiding in the seats.

And I think about how upset that cop was.

Yes. And that's why we retired it for a while.

Well, we've had it out here and there.

We've decided we were going to make a sleeper hearse.

No one's ever gonna expect a hearse to be fast.

Who would?

We finally made it to the heart of amish country

to check out wagler performance.

Knock knock. - Hola.

-Hey. -Hey.

-What's going on? -You guys getting anything done?

Man: Well, you know, we're trying.

Hey, levitation is one thing this car does best.

Hell, yeah.

It still looks spooky.

We've had some weird, weird things going on around here.

-Have you? -Yeah.

It's kind of creeping some guys out.

The doors will close on their own.

-Really? -Yeah.

It's kind of strange. We're gonna chase casper

out of there - with the new engine, though.

Let's see this motor.

Yeah. Check it out.

It probably isn't a cadillac, is it?

Well....

Holy crap, man. That's a lot of billet.

Dude, I can see all the injectors and...

-It's way too nice for that. -...Rocker arms.

Farmtruck: Look at this thing.

There's more aluminum on this than a coca-cola factory.

Rossler did the trans. It's all-wheel drive.

It's gonna hook on a dirt road.

It's gonna do what you want it to do.

My plan is coming together.

[ laughs evilly ]

it is the most powerful thing that we've ever built.

Four kits of nitrous express.

One, two, three, and four.

Do we need four kits?

We might need five.

Hey, that's what - wagler competition said --

"let's put four kits on it." that's what we did.

There's probably a team of 200 people

that are actually involved.

If you counted all the people that helped wagler --

carl rossler at rossler transmission,

to get all those parts assembled.

Quick performance.

And the engineering they had to put in

to find the right gear ratios.

Sure, there's a lot of people

that are excited about this build,

that want to be a part of it,

that want to help us.

And we are grateful for that.

So, now, it's time to make a sleeper haunted hearse.

[ yells ]

the good news is, is it's almost done.

There's been a lot of mock-up work done.

It's been... -Almost done?

The motor's sitting on an engine stand.

Azn: Okay. That -- I guess --

I guess they've been cleaning up the place huh?

Farmtruck: Okay. Now, it looks like a mess.

It really does. But everything is here.

It looks like an episode of "hoarders."

let's call everybody in.

Okay everybody.

So, we're all in -- everybody.

He talks to you like the dogs.

Guys, put your tools down, come this way.

Junior: I thought you guys were calling the dogs, there, for a second.

[ laughter ]

azn: Stay. Stay.

Farmtruck: Okay, so, this project -- we've been working on this

off and on for four or five years now.

We have everything we need here.

All we really need to do is put it together.

Junior: Do we have an instruction manual?

'cause that's a lot of parts.

Azn: Yeah. I get it. I get it.

That's a lot of work.

After we get this thing done, we go for the world record.

We're gonna go after the world record with this thing.

I'm all about that.

I already have a few world records under my belt.

I'd love to get another one.

And I'm all about taking records.

Yeah, this guy right here.

You put that son of a bitch up here.

This is mr. World record taker, right here.

Azn: Hell yeah.

Well done. - I like it.

-Hell yeah. -Heck yeah.

You know, there's going to be

an astronomical feat of engineering.

It's gonna be 2800 horsepower.

Somewhere in the neighborhood of that.

There's going to be a lot of obstacles

that we're up against, such as tire size.

Trying to get this thing to hook up.

Trying to hold all the torque that this thing is gonna

provide to anybody who wants to haul a body around.

And it's gonna make so much power

it might just smoke the tires, and turn out

to be a burnout vehicle.

We just don't know.

Let's go check out this next build.

Okay. Sounds good to me.

Look over here, look over here.

No. Don't get too close. Don't get too close.

Back up. Alright, this is probably

one of our most controversial projects.

It's one of the most -- don't get too close.

The negative density energy field can affect you yourself.

It won't effect me.

But it's so strong that it bends

the gravitational time dilation--

look, I could explain all day.

But what this is is a geo-desic time machine.

This just happens to be

the second oldest project in our garage.

So, be easy on us.

Farmtruck: It's a wayne bus with a chevrolet viking.

The biggest project - that we have ever attempted.

So, the whole plan for this is, we want to build an rv.

We want to be able to go to no-prep kings.

And we want to be able to chill out.

You know? So, we want to put some bunks in it.

We want to put a bathroom in it.

Air-conditioners. Heaters.

We like nice things.

But who are we if we show up in a million-dollar rv?

Well, for one, we can't afford it.

That's right. I forgot about--

I keep forgetting about that yeah.

Also, that's not who we are.

You know? This is who we are.

We want to build our own rv. You know?

It may not be as nice as some of the other rvs

that are out there, but it will be much cooler.

This is among --

-what is this? -This is the bus.

Is there a bus behind the bus?

Farmtruck: No. This is the bus.

Tell me you haven't bought it yet?

Oh, no, we're gonna buy it.

And we're gonna hit the road in this thing.

Road? It's not even sitting on a road.

Azn: It's got a river running underneath it.

Man: This thing is a bridge. It's not even a bus.

You're never gonna get this thing out of here.

I mean, half of it's in the mud, bro.

Farmtruck: That's the challenge.

Here's the way it works. -What have you got?

When you want to know who your real friends are...

-Okay. -...You show them one of these.

You take the good one,

'cause I don't want to hear any complaints at the end.

Man: Let's dig it.

♪

azn: Oh, yeah.

Clear it.

Where'd you get this guy?

I got the white horse.

-Yeah? -Yeah.

We're gonna get that bus out of here.

Let's do it. I'm tired of digging.

You game? Yeah let's do it.

Alright.

Farmtruck: Oh yeah.

This guys knows what he's doing.

He's digging in deep. He's digging in deep.

And then, he'll want to start tilting her.

Yeah, there he goes.

Oh! Easy on the paint, guys.

Come on! It's a classic! Can you go this way?

♪

-holy crap. -Isn't it beautiful?

Well, the wheels on this bus don't go round and round.

-Hey! -Oh.

Dude, it's surfing usa.

You've got to find the balance.

I'll find it.

Alright. I got a chair.

Terry: A couple of people are gonna have to keep this thing --

it's gonna start wanting to do that.

We need some rope. We need a rope.

We need rope on each side. That's what we need.

Hook it to the axle, and then [indistinct]

if the devil submitted a float to the macy's day parade,

this is what it would look like.

Farmtruck: Alright. Going up.

Holy crap.

Terry: Hold it right there.

Yeah? How does this look?

-Terrifying. -Crazy.

This is sketchy.

I don't like this anymore.

Okay, stop the ride. I want to get off.

Yeah, it's still going.

Have him start coming down as soon as I clear.

Bring her down, brother. Bring her down.

Hey, do I got the balance?

You got it. Here we go.

Going down.

Keep going.

Whoa.

Poor tires. Alright.

Did we just do that? You did.

You was way up there.

[ laughter ]

okay, so, the history of the bus.

It started off as an air force bus.

But whenever the air force didn't need it anymore,

oklahoma state department of corrections bought it.

And then, they painted it green.

If you're gonna prison in oklahoma,

there's an old saying,

"the green lizard is coming to get you."

this is the original green lizard.

We bought this, like, five years ago.

But you know, we're busy with other projects.

We're busy with "street outlaws."

and we only could work on this in our spare time.

So, here it sits. It's like the titanic.

She's being pulled out of the water.

And we got to figure out how to restore it.

On team f&a, we've all been influenced by the mad scientist.

The mad scientist always has some crazy idea.

It's fun to play with gun powder.

Holy [bleep].

One.

[ all yelling ]

terry: You alright back there?

-T! -Hold that button down.

[bleep]

the hell out of me.

He's an animal! -Oh yeah.

And what he likes to do is do a resto mod.

He likes to take a modern chassis

with a good wiring harness, disc brakes.

Instead of messing with the old drum brakes

and the old brittle 6-volt wiring harness on this thing,

all of that's gonna be upgraded.

So, we got a school bus that was a 2000 model,

that we will use as a donor for parts for the prison bus.

Azn: I guess it's just me.

Welcome my friends. - Thank you.

Thank you.

How was it? - It was good.

The teacher was nice.

You got some power.

What was that? What was that?

Who's there?

Settle down, children.

Whoa, it rides -- I remember this ride.

Oh, yeah.

I got to stop. The railroad tracks.

Whoa, railroad tracks.

Right now, fire drill.

What? Not right now? Yeah, right now.

No. Not right now. Right here, right now.

This is in the middle of the road. No.

Right now, fire drill. What? Not right now?

Yeah, right now.

No. Not right now. Right here, right now.

This is in the middle of the road. No.

Fire drill? I'm gonna stop them all.

Okay.

Fire drill? - Yeah, it's fire drill.

Fire drill! Fire drill!

I don't know if I trust this.

♪

farmtruck: Go, go, go, go.

Azn: Alright. Yeah.

Here we go. Here we go.

That wasn't bad.

That wasn't bad.

Dude, they all stopped.

Did they stop? They had no choice.

Look at all that traffic back there.

So much power!

Oh. Man.

I'm gonna drive this to work.

Oh, dude.

We should have got - one of these a long time ago.

Man, dude.

We're having a great time with this school bus.

It's almost a shame - to tear it apart, you know?

Because it runs and drives, you know?

What do you always say?

Well, you can't have two buses. You know?

No. I thought it was "if it's not broke, don't fix it."

oh.

'cause we can't afford that [bleep].

I use that line, too. I use that line, too.

We don't know what we're doing.

Alright. Alright. Gentlemen.

Imagine, if you will,

taking this modern bus off of its modern chassis.

We're gonna hot-rod it up a little bit.

And we're gonna have the worlds fastest prison bus.

It would take us way more time

to put brakes on that chassis, and another rear end.

A whole new drivetrain.

Azn: That's a heck of a swap.

It couldn't have changed much 1960 to 2000.

It's like swapping a roof on a house.

It's 40-years difference. Shingles. Shingles.

These are modular.

Modular. Right?

Almost. Right? Like, you know?

Alright. Well, okay.

Well, we'll get on it. See what we can do.

-How about a map? -I'm trying, man.

So, one of the first things that we realized

is that we had to roll the front wheels 17 inches forward.

So, from this shock back to this base is 17 inches.

Well, we ran out of frame for our leaf springs to hang of off.

So, then we got the idea, "let's just extend

the bumper fire-truck style."

and that was all before we even had to pull

the body off of the new chassis...

-Watch out. -Whoa, whoa. Come down. -Hold still, azn.

...And lower this one down on the new chassis.

Okay, we need to find the balance first.

Jeff: Forward a little bit.

-Hang on. -Or, west.

Your -- your -- your west. Your west.

Let me square it.

Go back this way just a little bit, just to get it--

yeah. Yeah. Right there.

-Okay. -Raise her up.

Alright, we're too far forward.

-We need some balance. -It's not gonna work.

-Azn? -Why? Why?

Man: You know this is gonna involve you.

I don't know. Azn get in.

-No. -Come on, azn.

Farmtruck: Azn, get in the bus.

Azn: Alright I'll get in the [bleep] bus.

-Hey. -Oh, that's good.

Lifting this up is sketch, to say the least.

Because we actually couldn't get it balanced correctly.

And we had to use azn for some ballast, which worked out great.

Never doing that again.

Jeff: That whopping 95 pounds.

Azn: I do not like this.

I [bleep] hate this so bad.

-We're going for it. -Let's do it.

Oh, let's talk about it. Let's talk about it.

Let's talk about it for a second.

Okay, now I'm scared.

Holy [bleep]

-come on over. -Going north.

Jeff: Oh, [bleep]. Here we go.

That's scary.

I don't know if I like this.

[bleep]

farmtruck: Somebody stop me.

-Yep. -No. More.

Is anybody looking?

-Yep. -Alright.

Man: The body's gonna hit the frame rails.

Jeff: Okay, we got major issues coming, here.

That noise --

farmtruck: Hey, don't lean out that far.

Azn: This is definitely gonna hit, right?

I'm depending on you guys for ballast.

-What's it hitting? -Everything.

It is -- it is hitting everything.

So, while lowering the bus, we learned

that we have probably more issues than we can identify.

But the main one is the fact that

we're hitting the exhaust manifold.

We're hitting the actual exhaust underneath, from the frame.

Yeah. We're not even down yet.

Right. It needs to be notched, what,

a couple inches each side?

Yeah. We pick the bus back up,

make some measurements, make some cuts.

And away we go. Okay.

Alright. Going up.

This is fight or flight. Fight or flight.

Jeff: I don't know if we did any good here.

I don't know, either.

I think they're just [bleep] with us.

Man: Yes, sir.

That pretty much closes up this.

There's nothing else that we've really done to it.

Keep an eye out for this project.

It will probably be one of the last ones we finish,

just 'cause it's so astronomical.

Alright. Which one do you want to talk about next?

The next one.

Okay.

Alright. Is that red light -- is it on?

Man: Yeah. Yeah, we're recording.

Okay. It's on.

Alright. - For our next build, right,

we wanted to do something that no one does, right?

We needed to do something out of the ordinary

that is actually extraordinary.

You know, we wanted to build something for the average joe --

the common man -- you know, something more daily driver.

Something he could take from home to work to the ice rink.

Exactly.

Ta-da.

We got you thinking it wasn't.

But it is. It is.

That's right. That's right.

Right here.

You know, we figure "hey, man, let's hot rod a zamboni."

who does that? Who does that?

No one does that. - No one.

And if they did, - they might want to race it.

From f&a to a to z,

we do it all, baby. We do it all. Okay.

Now, we have no idea anything about this thing.

Nothing.

But want to make a hot rod out of it.

Yes. - Right?

The way this whole thing started is just weird.

We wound up going to las vegas,

and we found the vegas golden knights' practice rink.

Dang, dude, it's cold in here.

Oh, it's freezing.

Hello.

Farmtruck: Where do they keep the zamboni?

Any idea? Back here? This way? Over here? Okay.

These are the backstage passes, right here.

I bet that door is where they keep the machinery.

That's where they keep the heavy equipment.

Any time, now.

I can't wait, dude.

Yeah!

Oh, dude, look at it.

It looks like christmas.

Yeah!

Bring her on out. We want to see her.

-Bring it on out. -Bring her on out.

Bring her on out.

Yeah. Hold it. Hold it. Hold it.

Don't let them go.

This is the first time we've really seen one in the wild.

You mind if we take a gander?

-You sure can. -How fast do they go?

-About 8 to 12 miles an hour. -I could run faster than that.

Farmtruck: How can you put up with that?

I mean, nitrous would fix it all?

-Yeah. -I'd give it a shot.

What do you use the second seat for?

For passengers, for when they ride during games, and...

-You going? -I'm ready. -Alright.

Azn: We just so happened to befriend some guys

at the vegas golden knights.

And they gave us some inspiration

for what a zamboni machine might be capable of.

Oh, wow, dude. What a great view from up here.

We're just gonna go for one pass.

And we accidentally broke up the nhl network interview

with a player from the vegas golden knights.

You ask for when you get here, and the fans are great.

It's an unbelievable town to be in. And...

[ indistinct talking ]

whoo!

Three -- for three years here,

and the success of this team --

really drifting it. Really drifting it.

Yeah, it's awesome. You know, it just --

it really gets down to it, where...

You checking these guys out, behind us?

Whoo!

[ zamboni horn honks ]

we're on television!

We're on television!

Yeah, you know, I've been...

I've been working these streets for about 15 years.

It's a good place to raise a family.

So far, you've seen some of the many different hats

farmtruck and I will wear this season.

Oklahoma city's really been home to me.

And it's typically always safe, you know?

But there is one job that's really more of a calling to me,

and that's law enforcement.

46953-11, we're in a pursuit of a white ford fusion.

We're gonna go and light him up. Cherries and berries.

[ imitates sirens ]

alright. Here we go.

He's -- we have a runner. We have a runner.

Alright, that's top speed, right there.

And when you really give her that torque steer...

Uh-oh. Uh-oh.

Losing some fuel. Uh-oh.

I wonder if we could put nitrous on this thing.

Joy ride is over.

Whoo!

[ zamboni horn honks ]

we're on television!

We're on television!

Hey, I know who that is. That's farmtruck and azn.

Oh, gee. What are those guys doing here in vegas?

-Oh, my goodness. -My face is freezing.

Schmidt: What's going on, here?

No. No. Exit.

It's always a camera guy. Okay. Alright.

Okay. Alright.

[ indistinct talking ]

good thing they're not fast.

That's kind of scary. Kind of scary.

Hey, gentlemen.

-What's up. -How we doing?

How are you guys?

[ indistinct talking ]

we saw you guys doing your job

a little bit out here, earlier, in your practice session.

It doesn't seem like anyone

could really make any pucks in the net.

Whoa.

Let's be honest. Let's just be honest.

Is this a challenge?

I think I could do that job.

You could do that?

I think I can block pucks.

You can make saves?

I'm pretty quick. I'm pretty quick.

Alright. I'd like to see it.

I'd like to see it, too.

Farmtruck: We had a pretty good time with them.

We started our hockey career.

Azn: Oh, yeah.

It's booming.

Professional already.

In fact, we've replaced a lot of the players.

You know, you don't need so many players when you got two guys

as good as us on the ice.

Azn: You don't see these moves anywhere but here.

Oh, my god. Say a prayer.

You already ran your mouth.

Okay. - Alright.

Now, go on out there.

Alright. The water's fine.

Okay.

Take it easy, azn. It is ice.

Rupp: You want us to pull you over? Pull you over?

-Hold on. -A little water skiing.

Azn: And then, I steer.

Are you gonna stop on your own, or what?

-No. -Okay.

Farmtruck: There is a learning curve.

Rupp: First time on the ice for everybody.

Legs are weak.

Gonna shoot this one?

Oh, there we go.

Hang on. Hang on.

-He ain't ever gonna get up. -That's right.

Schmidt: It's just you and the goalie.

You and azn, right here.

Farmtruck on the left side, here.

Going down the left flank. He weaves to the right.

Dekes once, goes to shoot.

And big save!

[ laughter ]

rupp: I think we got him.

Azn: You're a winner.

Winners get off the ice themselves.

Farmtruck: This ice hockey is hard.

Azn: We handled the zamboni machine

much better than we handled those ice skates.

-I'll show you how it works. -Okay.

Farmtruck: It's already got a hot rod gas pedal

and a hot rod steering wheel.

Okay.

The battery dead?

She's a little cold.

That's a zamboni joke.

[ engine starts ]

oh. - There it goes.

Yeah.

Show them how it's done, farmtruck.

Here we go.

Show them how its done.

Azn: Alright. I think we're--

oh! Watch out for the time machine!

Oh! Watch out for my --

oh, god.

I just like driving it, man. It's cool.

I just like watching you drive it.

Dude, visibility -- zero.

Oh, yeah.

That's the problem with this thing.

Oh, yeah.

This one is probably gonna be

the most spectacular, unbelievable,

tremendously most difficult build of all time.

U.S. Body. - Oh, yeah.

They make fiberglass seats and bodies.

So, we thought "hey --"

"send all the body stuff." we said, "send it."

sure.

And they did. And then...

You know, the truth is that we just have no idea

what we're gonna do with it, honestly.

Let's go ahead, - and put this thing together

to get a better visual. I agree.

We'll take this piece.

That's pretty nice.

I don't mind that.

Okay, now, we can get a good visual.

Not bad. Not bad at all.

Alright. You liking it?

Yeah. Cozy.

Okay.

Now that we got it together,

what are some of the things that we could build?

Oh. We could make a farmtruck out of it.

Well, jeff lutz wants to make a pro-mod farmtruck out of it.

Great. Great idea. Called the "farm mod."

but it's not a great idea because it's fiberglass.

You need a steel roof and quarters.

And he'd want to paint it yellow,

and add wings to the back.

Yeah, he'd want to make a '57 out of it.

Yeah. We could make a farmbird out of it.

Well, we already have one of those.

Right.

Okay. - We could make a dirt farmer

out of it, for circle track racing on dirt.

Okay. We already have one of those.

Understood.

Oh, yeah. Okay. Okay. [bleep].

Oh [bleep].

Hey, we could take our shrink ray machine that I got off of

"honey, I shrunk the kids,"

shrink it down, and make a pedal car,

make it remote control.

We already have one of those. Okay. Yeah.

Hey, how about we just make it stock truck, just --

and I'll tell you what?

We'll make it look just like the farmtruck.

It'll have a stock motor, and we'll go prank

murder nova and big chief with it.

They already did that to us.

Shawn: What are we doing out here? Let's do some fishing.

[bleep]

[ laughter ]

[bleep]

how about a monster truck?

We can make a monster truck out of it.

Well, we could.

Except for, the only thing is, I'm about the real steel deal.

We do a monster truck, it needs to be a steel body.

Okay. Okay.

Not fiberglass. - Man.

That makes it tough. Oh, it's tough.

Well, here's where we're at with it.

Okay, we got this awesome u.S. Body.

It's lightweight.

It's like a 16th or 1/8 inch thick.

It's a long bed, - so it's the real farmtruck deal.

That's true.

But we don't know what to do with it.

It's got to be ridiculous.

So, we're gonna call upon you guys

to help us decide - what to do with this thing.

I like that. - Right?

So, does it need to go fast? Does it need to fly?

Does it need to infiltrate another country's border?

What does it need to do?

Maybe we'll make a tank out of it.

You know? I mean, I'm sure it's bulletproof, right?

No. - So, take a good look,

send in your submission. Write us an e-mail.

Help us try to figure out what this is gonna be.

Alright. I'll find a spot. Keep going.

Farmtruck. - Yo?

Come on. Alright, dude, last one.

Alright. This one -- hold on --

this one is probably my most favorite,

and it happens to be the tastiest project

in the whole shop.

I'm very excited about this one.

Let's show them.

Yes. - Mmm.

Alright. - Take a gander at that.

Lunch.

You know it's time for this. It's been a long episode.

And you've got to be hungry. We're starving.

We want to remind you guys to stay safe out there.

Stay home. Give us a little bit of time

to get these projects done,

and we will be coming back sooner than you think.

Oh, you got that? - Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

Alright. Let's eat.

Farmtruck: On three. Three.

Once it's safe, we'll be getting back to work.

Just watch how easy it is.

It still has that old prison bus smell.

And no matter how tough the task...

And all we're gonna have to do now is set the pot,

and then we can move in.

...With a little bit of elbow grease...

You're like an archaeologist.

Gentle.

[ screaming ]

gently.

...And a whole lot of f&a...

Now you need azn.

-How much is this? -Just under a million.

Don't break anything. -Yeah.

Holy...

Farmtruck: ...Anything is possible.

Any questions?

Now, all we got to do is go out and prove it.

Come on, dear. Oh, yeah. Baby azn.

[ laughing ]

can you believe it? You were so right.

Azn: Don't fall behind on a single build this season.

Keep up with our progress at discovery.Com/farmtruckandazn.
