This year, I opened a new company called Hiltz auto co.

I promised seven cars for seven clients

and what a year it's been.

Man: Cheers.

What I have done and the team have done here

should inspire the world.

It gives you the chills, you know,

to watch something that you dreamed about

come to life.

It was a pinto. A pinto?

It was a pinto. Wow!

In life, if you want to be anybody at all,

you'll step up and say, I'll go for it.

I've never build a bike before.

You're like a chess player...

When you make a move, you make the right move.

I might have a dreamed too big.

It's been a hard year. [Bleep, bleep, bleep, bleep]

He warped the roof in the back,

Chad: Done more damage here than you can imagine.

I've got a fire.

The rear end's not going to fit in there.

Jolene: We're out of time with this build.

If we don't finish a car in a set amount of time,

then it's going to trickle down on the other builds.

Chad: Have I done all this work for nothing?

We lost Aaron this year due to health issues

and it made it really hard for us to keep up.

If I had Aaron rand, and to show you how

farther ahead would be because he could be

on the other door while I'm making this side.

We are a man down and everybody is tired out.

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

but it's going to take three.

There's no borrowing time when the weather comes.

If we keep pushing the deadlines,

then it's really going to, you know,

jeopardize the final build and whether we're going to

be able to fit it into the schedule.

Chad: That means, we're going to have to work

as a team tighter than ever.

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

We have a Austin A40 somerset.

Our client on this build is Mike and Jocelyn

and they're going to throw a party

to release their new champagne they have.

We want it to be prestige cuvee, elegance.

Jocelyn: Best of the best.

I want to put the engine in the back.

We're on our last build and I'm inspired

because my back is against the wall.

Cut a vehicle in half.

Now I've got to make a skeleton to cover the engine.

This car seems like it's going to be really, really,

really, really long.

Chad: To make this car on time, on budget,

I am making a one piece car. - At this point,

the car is half done.

I'm mentally done, all the welds have to be made.

But I still have to get to get a back Fender on it.

Jolene: This is a small budget and it's a really big car.

So it's a lot of work. - We've got one more left.

So I'm going to have to dig down

and do what I got to do to get it done.

What I'm going to do now, today is,

where Colton's probably going to be up at the front end,

doing a little bit of welding... He's going to do

a lot of welding, by the looks of things.

We're going to get a nice angle going to make our tail.

That's what we're going to do.

I'm going to pipe up a tail today.

I want to go out with a big bang this year.

I want I want to have the last car say something

about Hiltz auto co.

We're going to build an elegant roaster,

welding the hood shut, welding the door shut,

putting the engine in the back, making it one piece.

We'll roll that through, see what happens, Colton.

Colton: Okay, dad. I'm like this machine, I do.

Really nice.

It means everything to be on time,

and I want Hiltz auto co. To be a company of its word.

Chad: Oh, you want to put the accent in that car together, do you?

Look at him.

That going to meet in the back?

Ooh. That'll meet in the back, Jack.

When we decided that we were just going to use

the front end of the car and put the motor in the back,

that automatically lengthened it.

I've never seen a chassis that big before.

For that long wheel base on a car.

And that means a lot of fabrication.

That's got the ends, now.

We have to remember, this is part of the car body.

The car body has to go down over top of the chassis.

So what I did is I laid this on there

and went down straight and I gave myself clearance.

When that comes up, if the body ever wants to come off,

we'll do the exact same thing to the other side.

So we're hoping that the tail comes to the end

then that means that the fenders

can keep going out here like we want to.

Jolene: This car is so extravagant, that just the size of it

and the design and all the curves.

It's overwhelming not knowing if we're going to get it done.

And it's a super hard deadline.

We have one week until the big party.

I want to make sure that's on the other side of that.

So I'm going to weld that that this is going to be my guide.

Then I know how long to make the tail.

Just little tackies, we don't big ones.

When you put the engine in the back,

it's got to be long enough to cover the engine.

We will put a... Have a tail on it today.

My name ain't bad Chad.

♪♪

It's a nice backbone right there, right?

That's called the backbone. You get one?

Yeah.

Looks good.

Heya!

[ Metal pole crashes ]

♪♪

The car gets longer by the minute.

I think we have the old tail looking pretty good on her, man.

The tail's looking good on her.

I want to go with a bang.

I want the car to sit there and I want people

to look at it and go...

That's why I want people do I don't even want them to

say anything, I want them to

drink their wine, their champagne and go...

That's what I want them to do,

and I think that's what we'll... If I can do that,

if we can get a couple of people with their mouth open,

that'd be great. [ Laughs ] That'd be great.

Chad: I'm just figuring I want to make some Fender skirts.

We're going to cut it in half.

This is going up here like this way up here.

We're going to stretch it down and go like that

and swoop it down just like this piece.

I want I want to make it look real nice.

It's the last one man I want to knock out of the park.

And any car that I think

it's real nice has finish skirts on it.

And when I keep that original front end

that it's originally underneath the body,

when I put the Fender skirts on, I can just bring them out

a little bit so the wheels can still move.

So then I'm going to kill two birds with one stone.

If I run that back but there somewhere

and I had it out about this far.

And you can use that as your step, and a Fender skirt.

The fenders on the front is giving me the French curves,

that I'm thinking about like a big fendered car

that comes up, you know, some big movie star would have.

Just going to figure out how long the curve is.

Because I got to curve, probably about that long.

So I'm going to open her up that far.

When you see a round car, there's a lot more

hands-on work going on.

With the older cars, they would be harder to make

because there's a lot more hands-on fabrication.

Nowadays, it's just punched out and they place it on.

There's a difference.

They've cut out a step to make it cheaper.

As I'm doing this, that's why we're getting these roll-y cars

and getting them all different shapes

because we are doing the work.

Colton, hey, come tack this on the car for me.

Good. See if it's tacked.

Good. Awesome.

I don't think fancy equipment would get me anywhere,

I don't need any of that stuff to build a car.

And if I had it, I don't know if I'd know how to use it.

I'd have to give me some instructions.

What do you think, al? When's that thing going to go

bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang?

And by the end of the day, probably?

Yeah. That's what I'm thinking. Cool.

I'm going to make sure everything is up to par

on the engine and transmission on the on the build of this car,

because once that body goes on top of that thing,

it's going to be hard to get at.

Chad: It's been a hard year.

Alex is, he's having a hard time standing up.

His feet are done. I'm mentally done.

I want this piece to go like this.

Okay, so as I got this edge on here,

I know that if I put the stretcher on it,

I can make it go like that.

There, we're talking now. Now we're talking licorice.

Putting all these curves in the car

is a lot of hard work, but it's well worth it.

[Bleep]Damn I love that!

[ Laughs ]

There's going to be so many curves and lines in this car,

people think, wow.

Wow. You like that shape there?

That nice?

That'll be the front Fender skirt.

That's gonna look sick, isn't it?

Yeah. I think it is.

I never want to put pressure or remind Chad of the time

because I don't want to affect the vision

and I don't want him to lower his standard

of what he wants to create.

Round her up a little bit. Maybe round down some.

That looks nice. I like that.

I like the forward motion don't you?

- Mm-hmm. - Love it?

I love that look, eh?

That's beautiful I think on the side of that car?

I [bleep] like it.

The stance is narrow.

So when you turn the wheel, the wheel will not hit

the outside Fender skirt

and that's why I built it out that far

so I could have a Fender skirt and turn the wheel.

So it was two birds one stone. That looks good.

I could look at that for days. Got some welding there, son.

And you know what, it's a little bit over the top.

But what the [bleep] I mean, the whole car, isn't it?

It's kind of got a teardrop front end,

like a roll after a roll,

it looks like long wavy hair with a pretty face.

Just making sure the firing order and stuff is correct.

I got this engine out of a mini winne.

- Keep going. - I picked it because it was free

and it's got a nice 360 dodge.

It'll work perfect with this build.

Chad: Look at that now, would ya?

We really have to make sure we start the engine

before we close in the back of the car.

This car is all one piece,

so we're really going to have to be careful

because when we put the body on and we want to fix the engine,

we'll have to take the body back off.

You can't close something in and then work on it.

I mean, you say it's almost like building a cell

and forgetting to jump out before you weld the last bar in.

Are you going to try and make this thing fire?

Alex: I can.

[ Engine turns over, starts ]

Yeah, ha ha, hey!

Look at that, mate. That was quick.

That's beautiful.

You like that, al? Yeah.

[ Engine starts ]

He likes it when I give him the good engines.

Yeah, that's good. No rattles, no nothing.

Beautiful. And no smoke.

Good job, al. Wanted to hear it run today.

Oh, [bleep] Great, bud. It's good.

Chad: Four days left, this thing'll be finished.

When I'm pressured, and then I look at the work.

Sometimes it's overwhelming.

I'm just not real happy with the way the front of the car looks.

And my big concern is I don't think

I have time to fix it.

What I'm going to do, I think I'm going to do.

I know I'm going to do... Cut a four foot piece,

I'm going to run across from the front,

from one Fender to the other Fender.

Then I'm gonna look at it.

What's my next move, eh?

I'm trying to think of what we want to do

with the front of the car.

Would a bumper fix it?

Would a swoopy thing in the front with exhaust pipe?

Would that fix it?

Can I make a bumper out of what I'm going to make to fix it?

I like how the side looks with these rails on here.

I just I'm not happy with the way the front looks

they're a little bit, it's not finished.

Not every dream is just puff magic.

We're going to have to create and make the dream car.

You know, what I'm saying? Like it doesn't...

It just doesn't fall in your lap every time.

I love the way the side looks.

It looks thick and bulky and that sort of stuff.

But when you come up to the front,

you've got two big pieces hanging off the side.

You know what I mean? They're not doing either.

Not looking like what are they hanging upside?

Never seen that before.

This will be the first car that I've ever clipped.

That [bleep] look at that ain't [bleep] car.

If I have to cut that bumper, I'm going to [bleep] cry.

I just feel anxiety every time we show somebody

because we want them to like it.

Jolene: Ready?

♪♪

I like how the side looks with these rails on here.

I just I'm not happy with the way the front looks

there a little bit, it's not finished.

When I get looking at the car on the front,

I don't like the way it looks.

I do not like the way the Fender skirts are out too far.

And I have to do something to make it pleasing to my eye,

you know, for me to be happy.

I'm not worried about Mike and Jocelyn at the present moment,

I don't even care.

I love, I love, I love, I love the way the side looks.

It looks thick and bulky and that sort of stuff.

But when you come up to the front,

you've got two big pieces hanging off the side, you know,

I mean, they're not doing either not looking like what are they?

They're hanging out. I've never seen that before.

As I build this car here, it's endless

what I can make it look like.

And the car, will talk to you all the time

it'll tell you exactly what it wants and what it needs.

I really enjoy the honesty of a car.

It doesn't have to say a word

and I know exactly what's wrong with it.

You know, you can take a look at it. Two eyes.

Yeah, I see you.

What I want to do today is I want to tie

this piece into the front. And that's just a matter of me

making making something come around

and go on the bottom all the way around and make it a top one

and then facing it,

you know, it'll be about that wide,

same as a bumper and bring it that far

and it'll look like a bumper.

The bumper wasn't planned for,

but the car is telling me what to do.

I'm going to cut that piece, weld that piece on this piece,

and then I'll put another on top and weld that.

You know what I'm saying? Like, I'll make one piece of the top

one piece in the bottom, then I'll face one piece.

And that'll add make this pair come to piece the car.

And that'll look like the bumper.

Then we can put stuff on it for the bumper.

It's a lot of welding, but...

It is. But it needs a bumper on the car and do we not?

I know, I know. We don't got time.

I know time is not of the essence,

but that's where it's at.

Jolene: It's a lot every time Chad changes his mind

on this build, it's adding time.

I just hope, Chad sticks to the plan of keeping it simple.

That's my center. That's my center there.

When I overlap them, I'll cut them.

Then we'll have the perfect fit. Right.

So when I put one on

and I put another one on, will overlap them.

And then when I find center, I'll be able to cut the center

and I have a perfect but and butt weld them together.

We're going to do the bottom first.

♪♪

See how I'm going to do that, I'm going to cut that together,

then we'll have the perfect center.

Okay. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

♪♪

When you have two pieces of metal like this

and you butt weld them together,

so they kind of butt up together

and then you weld them together, that's called a butt well.

I build these cars by listening to them and following

and them telling me what to do.

Bottom of the bumper

to bumper is going to satisfy me on tying front end together.

After we get the bumper on, it's going to make it look

like that front end should be like that.

Now we're talking, eh? I'm feeling a lot better.

And I think that comes out quite nice on the front like this.

How that tucks up like this makes it look like the fenders

are supposed to be there. You know what I mean?

And when you come from this part, here look.

See how that goes... Swoops out and then goes,

carries all the way around?

Seizing up, son? Seizing up?

You might as well go right to the other side if you can.

Alright. [ Vocalizes ]

Most of the fabrication on the front of the car is done.

We've got the basic shape of the back of the car.

We just roll down and tack it on in the inside, in the inside.

So get inside there. Hickory, dickory, dock.

Now that we know the engine starts, we can sheath it.

This is what I want. I want I want...

Where it's tight, hard to the metal

where it's hard to metal, I want quick [bleep] welds.

Tangible, reliable [bleep] welds.

We have made a skeleton.

I want all the metal to be tight to the skeleton.

Let's get them tight and weld them up. Tight?

Colton: Yeah. Weld her up, bud.

You tight on yours? Yep.

Okay, give me another one.

Are they tight? Yeah.

'Kay, go for it.

Let's go the other side. Let that heal.

I just want the metal to lay right.

We can't have any metal come along

and you have a big lump of metal.

We got we got to get rid of that metal.

And when you're building a boat tail, like we are,

from scratch, if you don't sheath it right,

you will get big bubbles that are not going to come out.

I'm tighter on this side than that side, that's for sure.

That's what I thought, yeah. And why is that now?

You're welding premature?

You're telling me it's tight, and it wasn't.

Well, it was. My neck...

You're telling me it was tight, and it wasn't?

- No. - Yeah, well,

that's pretty well the basics of it didn't it.

You told me it was tight and it's not.

I've repeated myself so many times.

I'm a worn down daddy

he really goes ahead quite like quite a step.

And then all of a sudden he'll fall back.

I get upset.

I get very upset.

You're going to have to get more precision.

Like, if I ask you if it's tight, you know,

you're not supposed to weld it, til it's tight.

Right? I didn't realize how far it was.

Well, we just did it on that side, bud.

I know what was...? I couldn't get my head up

in that one, I was feeling for it.

Okay.

Colton: Maybe if I stopped thinking about messing up so much

when my dad's watch me and trying to be perfect,

you know, maybe I'd do, maybe I'd do perfect.

But, you know, dad's the. Dad's the main squeeze.

You know, if I mess up, I get squeezed

when something like that happens.

And he's told me time and time again how to do it,

in my brain I started blaming myself.

And that's when I start getting worked up.

[Bleep] I don't want to answer those questions.

Those are those are for dad.

He's 20, some years old, he's still got

lots of life to learn.

He's not ready to be here full time.

And and think about what I'm doing here

like to build a car like that. He's not ready for that.

But anyways, that's up to him, right?

I can I can lead him to water, but I can't make him drink it.

You know, what I'm saying.

It's best that I walked away

and how this family can't work together in this season.

And how you just got to to take a step back.

We fight and chew like any father and son.

I love him to death. Love him to death.

It's sad that he can't see.

And I don't know if I could at that age, either,

see the potential in what what's going on in his life.

And what really matters at the present time.

Let's finish these questions.

♪♪

We've only got two days left.

We have two people on the team, just me and Alex.

Fabrication is finished and we sandblasted the body.

The work goes on, you know, the march goes on.

Just keep moving. Keep moving, keep moving.

I got this panel. We didn't wheel it before we put it on.

We should have wheeled it before we put it on.

We should have wheeled it before we put it on.

I knew that we're going too fast.

Anyways, I got this on here

as I want to make sure this is straight as possible.

I'm going to do is I've got this all lined in square tubing,

and right now I'm going to run a piece of square tubing

from here down to here

on the inside of this piece to make everything stay out.

Not not fall in on me. I maybe was going too fast.

I thought that it would roll around nice.

Now it's going to cost me time.

Just put a little bow on it.

Right, because I want that panel to stay, out,

if you know what I'm saying.

I'm going to weld it down here

and then I'm going to force it up in there.

And with this bend,

it's going to force all the metal to be round.

When I make it round, it keeps pressure on the metal

like all the metal under stress.

That way it keeps that car tighter.

Down there that part's going to go up flush,

and then I'm going to push it in tight,

then I'm going to push it in, so it pushes

all the metal up tight and weld it up here.

Got to work.

I'll tell you what gets overwhelming,

overwhelming is when you know you've got a little bit of time,

you're tired, you're mad and disgusted.

You can't be trusted.

And when you go backwards on something.

All good to go.

And now get a nice shape going on, right?

Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo!

This thing when you'd hit a freight train wouldn't bend her.

Well, I wouldn't say that, but...

We have a lot of body work to do

before we paint this bad boy.

Morning, Derek.

I'm Derek Wood and I'm a cabinetmaker from Senneville

have been doing it now for 50 years.

I'm a wood worked with wood. Yeah.

You want a hand, Derek? Yes.

I enjoy the wood inside the car

because we don't do that much anymore.

We use a lot of plastic and stuff like that.

Alright. Derek: Got the place for

two wine bottles and a place for two glasses in it.

And it might not be legal for the highway. [ Laughs ]

♪♪

Babe, test fit's done.

Wow, that looks nice in there.

Derek: That I feel comfortable to sit in?

The wood's a little hard in the ass.

I'm pretty sure that Mike Lightfoot and his wife

are going to be over the moon.

They're going to have something in their winery

that no one else in the world has.

This is the dream that we've had for them.

This is the car.

And we wanted to relate it to their champagne

because that's what's coming out.

That's the most important thing, is their champagne.

Jolene: You know what we can say?

We built them a champagne car on a beer salary.

Chad: On a what? On a beer salary?

It's a champagne car on a beer salary.

Yeah, we're we're we're ready for paint,

but we're nowhere near ready for reveal.

Every dream is different.

But for the last build,

it would be nice to have something that's over the top.

We wanted to command the room, black and red.

The red and the black it's a timeless color.

The car is timeless, really.

It's just made this week and,

you know, it could have been in the 1920s

could have been in the 1930s.

It really does make it timeless.

♪♪

The days were down to minutes

and I still got red paint on my hands,

it always comes down to the wire. Always.

Going up. Going up, brother.

Awesome. Alright. Think that'll do it?

♪♪

Just a second.

Point it over this way.

When we're putting the body on the chassis,

it's just a matter of lining everything up

because that falls and bangs right back and do it again

and it wouldn't be a good one.

We good? Okay, we're over there we're over a little too far.

Yeah. There we go.

- Try that. - Yeah, looks good there now.

- Happy? - Well...

Keep letting it down and see where it goes.

Any time that you... After you're done painting,

you touch any panel is nerve racking.

You do not want to scratch. You don't want fingerprints.

Deadline's tomorrow.

There's still a lot of work to do on the car.

Yeah, there's a lot of work to do.

We're all exhausted.

But what really matters is to get the car done.

Chad: I got this neck tattoo 10 years ago.

I just felt like as I was building cars,

I wanted more of my cars

to feel like art than just transportation.

Sometimes people don't look at cars as art,

but people don't think cars are all right.

Well, how can I be an artist?

But as we're building the cars

and they're way out there and way different

and they make people happy and dream and do funny things,

well, it is art.

Because it's bringing an expression out of somebody

that generally wouldn't be there.

And that's what art does.

In a good way or a bad way doesn't matter,

because all the beauty in the world

is from the beholder and the beholder is you.

- You might not get back up. - I'll come sit down.

Everybody is tired out

- you could sand the wheels. - I'll do the wheels.

Yeah, do the wheels.

I got to put the windshield, the floor back in,

and then start doing the interior.

Taillights shifter.

The team is working technically around the clock

to get this build done.

I mean, we're no longer counting the days.

We're counting the hours. - The gas pedal.

Alright, this is our last day to work on it,

you know, we've got a lot of [bleep] to do,

a lot of stuff to make happen in a very short time.

Whether it's on time or not, how much money we're spending,

what it looks like... - That's put on there like it

was meant to be there. - ...What color it is.

Did I pick the right car for the right person?

- Those screens are... - Fantastic.

That's me. Where did you get the car at? That's me.

That one don't want to go in. [Bleep] Serious?

What's the design? That's me. - Dash is installed.

How much money, I spend, that's me. How fast we get it done?

That's me. In the end, it's the pressures

on this shoulder right here, or this shoulder.

You want to try starting it?

[ Engine starts ]

[ Revs engine ]

That's bad ass, bud!

That actually sounds awesome.

These sort of are my dreams that we are giving people,

I look at them, I, I see what they do

and this is the kind of car for you. [ Laughs ]

You know, that's sort of what happens, right?

This is the last build for Hiltz auto co. Of the year.

There was a little man in my head saying finish strong.

So for the year that's what we've done.

I'm hoping that Mike likes it so much that every time

he brings out a new bottle, he wants a new car.

♪♪

We are at Lightfoot and Wolfville for our launch

and release of our new prestige cuvee,

and we commissioned a beautiful piece of art,

a rolling piece of art. We can't wait to see it.

Chad: I just feel anxiety every time we show somebody

because we want them to like it, we want to enjoy it.

They've hired us on for a reason

and we just wanted to please them in the project

that we have built for them. - Let's go. I'm excited.

We waited weeks and weeks and weeks.

Ready?

Oh, man!

Oh, my gosh, look at it.

What did you do? That is insane! Unreal!

- We messed up in Austin. - Wow!

Check it out. That is insane.

Blown away, speechless. Unreal.

Yeah, way more than what we ever anticipated.

So elegant. So beautiful.

The curves, the sex appeal. I mean, you know,

it's everything that our guests are going to absolutely love.

You nailed it. You nailed it. I love it.

- Cool. Awesome. - Bravo. Thank you.

- Bravo. I got a bravo. - Thank you, guys.

This is great work.

Mike and his wife give me the best thing I need

is their appreciation, satisfaction.

But it's going to be fun to watch other people

see what they think.

We finished strong, we pulled it out, you know,

it was a hard fight, a long fight, we won. We won.

Chad, come on over, buddy. Alright.

Right up the seam. Right there.

Right up the seam, hit that edge right there on.

Give her a go. Two or three times.

That, that, that didn't work the way it should, Chad.

That was a little too hard.

There were so many ups and downs during the year,

but these are the moments when you get you get rejuvenated.

I get a little bit of cold new fire

thing gets a little hot and you keep rolling.

Yeah, we're done.

Chad: Feels good to be done.

I guess they say if you don't get bigger, you get smaller.

We've grown.

We've grown.

Now in full tilt Hiltz auto co.

I'm impressed that we did that many cars out of this shop.

And it goes to show it's not the shop that builds the car,

it's the hands.

Gives me goose bumps. You know, sometimes

that this little place can provide so many dreams.

And I'd like to provide a lot more, if I could.

Colton, he's got a good heart, good work ethic.

And what I have to realize is that I really enjoy

the moments that I get.

He's his own person and he's going to learn on his own time.

We have our bad days and know we have very great days

and you need your bad days to have your good ones.

As Hiltz auto co. Goes forward,

you wonder if all the hard work is going to pay off.

And all I can think is, you know,

what else would I be doing?
