1
00:00:36,661 --> 00:00:38,538
We are one step away
2
00:00:38,663 --> 00:00:43,251
from bringing an incredibly rare unicorn
into our shop.
3
00:00:43,334 --> 00:00:47,589
Shawn has spent the last few weeks
setting up a two-for-one trade.
4
00:00:47,672 --> 00:00:51,092
We're giving up a 1930's vintage race car
5
00:00:51,176 --> 00:00:54,429
and this 1947 Dodge Power Wagon
6
00:00:54,512 --> 00:00:57,182
in exchange for a one-of-a-kind replica
7
00:00:57,265 --> 00:01:01,394
of a 1960 Plymouth XNR concept car.
8
00:01:01,478 --> 00:01:04,606
Once we've made that XNR
dead-nuts accurate,
9
00:01:04,689 --> 00:01:07,525
it will be worth
well into the six figures.
10
00:01:07,609 --> 00:01:12,155
Money aside,
the XNR is a once-in-a-lifetime build.
11
00:01:12,238 --> 00:01:14,949
We've already finished
the single-seat racer...
12
00:01:17,035 --> 00:01:18,620
so we're halfway up the mountain.
13
00:01:19,454 --> 00:01:20,997
If we want to make it to the summit,
14
00:01:21,081 --> 00:01:24,209
we have to restore
this old vintage Power Wagon
15
00:01:24,292 --> 00:01:25,710
back to its glory.
16
00:01:25,794 --> 00:01:28,630
This Power Wagon looks like money.
Let's get this thing done.
17
00:01:29,714 --> 00:01:31,591
Let's tear this truck apart.
Let's go.
18
00:01:41,309 --> 00:01:44,604
Man, this door was put together
so it would never come apart.
19
00:01:44,687 --> 00:01:47,524
When these trucks
were originally manufactured,
20
00:01:47,607 --> 00:01:49,901
they were not designed to come apart.
21
00:01:49,984 --> 00:01:54,239
Even something as simple
as taking the glass out of the door
22
00:01:54,322 --> 00:01:57,283
takes three times as much work
as any other truck.
23
00:01:57,367 --> 00:01:59,953
These old nuts and bolts are so rusted up.
24
00:02:00,036 --> 00:02:03,039
It's a good thing I'm totally up-to-date
on my tetanus shot.
25
00:02:03,123 --> 00:02:04,916
During World War II,
26
00:02:04,999 --> 00:02:06,835
Dodge was the sole provider
27
00:02:06,918 --> 00:02:10,255
of all 3/4-ton 4 x 4 trucks
28
00:02:10,338 --> 00:02:11,881
to the United States military.
29
00:02:14,050 --> 00:02:18,179
These trucks were referred to
as weapons carriers.
30
00:02:18,263 --> 00:02:20,890
And if you talk to
any World War II veteran,
31
00:02:20,974 --> 00:02:23,309
they'll all tell you the same thing...
32
00:02:23,393 --> 00:02:26,813
these were the most reliable vehicles
to see the battlefield.
33
00:02:27,939 --> 00:02:31,776
After the war, a very similar truck
was mass-produced by Dodge
34
00:02:31,860 --> 00:02:35,738
and sold to the public
under the name Power Wagon.
35
00:02:35,822 --> 00:02:37,740
It was mostly used as a work truck,
36
00:02:37,824 --> 00:02:40,034
and this thing could take a pounding.
37
00:02:41,035 --> 00:02:43,288
As cliché as this sounds,
38
00:02:43,371 --> 00:02:46,332
they do not make trucks like they used to.
39
00:02:46,416 --> 00:02:50,628
Did you run through the sprinklers now?
You're gonna lose 20 pounds today, bro.
40
00:02:50,712 --> 00:02:53,089
Hell, yeah. I gotta get my summer body on.
41
00:02:56,718 --> 00:03:00,263
Once we get this truck torn apart,
I have big plans for it.
42
00:03:01,097 --> 00:03:05,143
I want this military-style truck
to stay vintage underneath,
43
00:03:05,226 --> 00:03:08,479
but I want it to look like
it belongs on the highway today.
44
00:03:08,563 --> 00:03:11,608
We'll keep everything on the inside
all original.
45
00:03:11,691 --> 00:03:15,570
We'll take that inline-six flathead
and bring it back to life
46
00:03:15,653 --> 00:03:17,947
and make it drive like a vintage truck.
47
00:03:18,031 --> 00:03:21,534
We're gonna keep the original wheels,
but we're gonna slap on
48
00:03:21,618 --> 00:03:24,829
some brand-new
tough-as-nails off-road tires.
49
00:03:24,913 --> 00:03:28,499
I also want to add
a custom military interior
50
00:03:28,583 --> 00:03:30,501
with a brand-new wood bed.
51
00:03:30,585 --> 00:03:32,587
And when it comes to the paint job,
52
00:03:32,670 --> 00:03:34,547
that's where
you're gonna do a double take.
53
00:03:34,631 --> 00:03:38,885
We're going with an urban camo
that'll make this World War II-era truck
54
00:03:38,968 --> 00:03:41,930
look like it's ready for
a modern-day battlefield.
55
00:03:42,847 --> 00:03:45,058
Watch out,
'cause Tony's got to walk slow.
56
00:03:50,438 --> 00:03:51,731
One, two, three.
57
00:03:52,899 --> 00:03:54,400
Don't scratch the paint!
58
00:03:55,235 --> 00:03:57,278
Oh,
we scratched the rust.
59
00:03:57,362 --> 00:04:00,740
, that hurt. All righty,
so now that this is destroyed...
60
00:04:01,783 --> 00:04:05,036
Caveman, I would definitely
do a little drive by the home
61
00:04:05,119 --> 00:04:06,119
and take a shower.
62
00:04:06,955 --> 00:04:08,831
Then take another shower.
63
00:04:17,131 --> 00:04:19,968
Even though the Power Wagon
isn't even done,
64
00:04:20,051 --> 00:04:23,346
I'm very confident
this deal's gonna go through,
65
00:04:23,429 --> 00:04:26,224
and even though
we don't even have the XNR,
66
00:04:26,307 --> 00:04:30,186
I'm just letting everybody know
what we got coming out.
67
00:04:30,270 --> 00:04:34,816
Putting out the word ahead of time
isn't a normal procedure for me,
68
00:04:34,899 --> 00:04:36,943
but this isn't a normal car.
69
00:04:37,026 --> 00:04:42,031
It's such a rare car,
it needs a bit of a presale
70
00:04:42,115 --> 00:04:45,702
just because cars like this,
they're never on the market,
71
00:04:45,785 --> 00:04:50,623
so the big players, the guys that have
those big car collections,
72
00:04:50,707 --> 00:04:52,917
they want a car like this,
73
00:04:53,001 --> 00:04:56,421
because nobody else has a car like this
in their collection.
74
00:04:56,504 --> 00:04:59,007
One guy in particular, this guy named Don,
75
00:04:59,090 --> 00:05:01,217
is very interested in this car.
76
00:05:01,301 --> 00:05:02,427
Are you Shawn?
77
00:05:02,510 --> 00:05:03,553
I am Shawn.
78
00:05:03,636 --> 00:05:07,348
Oh, good, 'cause I don't let just anybody
come in here. Nice to meet you.
79
00:05:08,099 --> 00:05:10,768
A '62 'Vette to greet me? I like this.
80
00:05:10,852 --> 00:05:12,937
Yeah, this is
my favorite car right there.
81
00:05:13,021 --> 00:05:14,856
- Come on in. This is my garage.
- Ho, look.
82
00:05:14,939 --> 00:05:17,859
This is... This is,
uh, more than just a garage.
83
00:05:17,942 --> 00:05:19,902
Look at the size of this place.
84
00:05:19,986 --> 00:05:21,654
It's about 12,000 square feet.
85
00:05:21,738 --> 00:05:24,574
There's a little bit of bling
going on around here.
86
00:05:24,657 --> 00:05:27,410
Yeah, I like bling.
This is the Beach Boys' 409.
87
00:05:27,493 --> 00:05:28,493
Whew.
88
00:05:28,536 --> 00:05:30,872
Sixty-five Corvette, 327,
89
00:05:30,955 --> 00:05:33,416
365 horse, 27,000-mile car.
90
00:05:33,499 --> 00:05:34,751
That a Nassau blue?
91
00:05:34,834 --> 00:05:36,502
- That's Nassau blue.
- There you go.
92
00:05:36,586 --> 00:05:39,130
You know what this collection is
missing?
93
00:05:39,213 --> 00:05:42,050
You need something
really super unique in here.
94
00:05:42,133 --> 00:05:44,677
I came here to gauge a price on this car.
95
00:05:44,761 --> 00:05:48,514
I'm gonna hit him with a higher number
at first just to see how he reacts.
96
00:05:48,598 --> 00:05:51,476
You need something
that somebody else hasn't got.
97
00:05:51,559 --> 00:05:55,521
You got a bunch of, you know,
Bel Air convertibles and Corvettes,
98
00:05:55,605 --> 00:05:58,941
but nobody else
has got an XNR in their collection.
99
00:05:59,025 --> 00:06:01,194
- Am I right?
- I'm curious.
100
00:06:01,277 --> 00:06:03,196
How close to the real car
is this gonna be?
101
00:06:03,654 --> 00:06:05,907
This thing is so accurate.
102
00:06:05,990 --> 00:06:07,992
Let me... Let me show you some pictures.
103
00:06:08,076 --> 00:06:10,620
The guy originally put this car together
104
00:06:10,703 --> 00:06:12,789
'cause he had the designer blueprints
105
00:06:12,872 --> 00:06:15,917
for the original one of one.
106
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,629
As far as I know,
there's no other one like that out there.
107
00:06:19,712 --> 00:06:22,423
What kind of price range
were you thinking on this hot rod?
108
00:06:22,507 --> 00:06:25,176
Well, I gotta think 200,000
109
00:06:25,259 --> 00:06:28,137
is totally fair for a car like this.
110
00:06:28,221 --> 00:06:30,056
What are you thinking
on something like that?
111
00:06:30,139 --> 00:06:32,517
If it's that good of a car
and like you say it is,
112
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,311
I would entertain maybe the idea of it.
113
00:06:35,395 --> 00:06:37,021
- I'd like to see the car.
- Of course.
114
00:06:37,105 --> 00:06:41,025
I have a hole right here for one more car,
so we have an opportunity.
115
00:06:41,109 --> 00:06:43,986
And if I got something nobody else has,
that's even better.
116
00:06:44,070 --> 00:06:46,948
All my buddies are gonna try to
take it away from me. Heh heh.
117
00:06:47,031 --> 00:06:50,827
I'm here to help you
one-up everybody else.
118
00:06:50,910 --> 00:06:51,744
It's my job.
119
00:06:51,828 --> 00:06:55,665
We can keep the conversation going,
and maybe we can work something out.
120
00:06:56,541 --> 00:07:00,920
I came here just to get a feel
of what I think this car is worth,
121
00:07:01,003 --> 00:07:03,506
and I think it went pretty damn well.
122
00:07:03,589 --> 00:07:06,843
I hit Don at 200,
and the guy didn't even flinch,
123
00:07:06,926 --> 00:07:09,929
and now I'm thinking,
"Wow, Don's the first guy I met."
124
00:07:10,012 --> 00:07:11,973
I plan on casting a wide net,
125
00:07:12,056 --> 00:07:15,143
so who knows what the final price
is gonna be for this car?
126
00:07:15,226 --> 00:07:17,895
I just want to hang here all night
is what I'd really like.
127
00:07:23,067 --> 00:07:27,155
On this '47 model Dodge Power Wagon,
we have...
128
00:07:28,322 --> 00:07:30,950
the side hood
that you can look inside on this side.
129
00:07:31,033 --> 00:07:33,794
If you come around, we can open
the other side and see the other side.
130
00:07:34,537 --> 00:07:36,205
I'd make a terrible car model.
131
00:07:36,289 --> 00:07:39,625
If we want to keep this vehicle
vintage on the inside...
132
00:07:40,793 --> 00:07:44,755
then it is absolutely crucial
that we use the original motor.
133
00:07:44,839 --> 00:07:46,966
All right, here we go.
134
00:07:50,261 --> 00:07:52,054
Sounds like it's cranking.
135
00:07:52,138 --> 00:07:54,778
- It's kicking.
- At least flame ain't coming out.
136
00:07:54,849 --> 00:07:56,350
I like flame.
137
00:07:59,479 --> 00:08:01,105
It's like
The Little Engine That Could.
138
00:08:01,189 --> 00:08:03,774
Like, the fact that it made
any amount of sound
139
00:08:03,858 --> 00:08:07,320
gives me some type
of positive feeling about it.
140
00:08:08,529 --> 00:08:10,948
- That might be a problem.
- Are you serious?
141
00:08:11,032 --> 00:08:12,992
Electrode's gone.
142
00:08:13,075 --> 00:08:15,786
- That's definitely not a good sign.
- So where did it go?
143
00:08:15,870 --> 00:08:18,581
Are you serious?
Two of 'em came out with no electrodes.
144
00:08:18,664 --> 00:08:21,209
- Yeah.
- Well, that just means they got burnt.
145
00:08:21,292 --> 00:08:25,963
Anytime you come across
anything in a motor that's burnt away,
146
00:08:26,047 --> 00:08:27,215
you need to figure out,
147
00:08:27,298 --> 00:08:30,301
"Well, if this is burnt off
the end of this spark plug,
148
00:08:30,384 --> 00:08:31,844
where did the rest of it go?"
149
00:08:32,261 --> 00:08:35,806
And that could potentially
lead to disassembling an entire motor
150
00:08:35,890 --> 00:08:37,683
instead of just replacing a spark plug.
151
00:08:37,767 --> 00:08:39,685
- Did it just burn away...
- Another one?
152
00:08:39,769 --> 00:08:41,687
I mean, it looks really burnt up, so...
153
00:08:41,771 --> 00:08:44,106
If it broke off,
it could be stuck inside there.
154
00:08:44,190 --> 00:08:46,776
Stop trying to find negatives
in the situation.
155
00:08:48,194 --> 00:08:52,323
This truck was based off trucks
that were used in World War II,
156
00:08:52,406 --> 00:08:55,576
and they couldn't have the luxury
of having trucks
157
00:08:55,660 --> 00:08:56,953
that were going to break down.
158
00:08:57,036 --> 00:08:59,497
Out there in the battlefield,
they really needed to be
159
00:08:59,580 --> 00:09:02,041
bulletproof motors and bulletproof trucks.
160
00:09:02,124 --> 00:09:05,836
So these straight sixes
are designed to really run forever.
161
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,173
Even though there are these
basic maintenance things we have to fix,
162
00:09:09,257 --> 00:09:10,383
like these spark plugs,
163
00:09:10,466 --> 00:09:15,096
fingers crossed, it's going to fire over,
and it's not gonna need anything else.
164
00:09:15,471 --> 00:09:16,514
Everybody pray.
165
00:09:16,597 --> 00:09:18,015
I'm gonna do one of these.
166
00:09:18,099 --> 00:09:21,644
Let's hope that's the only issue.
Let's hope that's the only issue.
167
00:09:25,481 --> 00:09:27,692
- Are you kidding?
- I'm a genius!
168
00:09:27,775 --> 00:09:29,151
Are you kidding me?
169
00:09:29,860 --> 00:09:31,988
What is that? Wait. What is that?
170
00:09:32,071 --> 00:09:34,031
Damn.
Listen to that fire right up.
171
00:09:35,449 --> 00:09:36,593
- It runs.
- It's got reverse!
172
00:09:36,617 --> 00:09:37,660
It's got a clutch.
173
00:09:38,202 --> 00:09:40,288
- It's got brakes, too.
- Really?
174
00:09:41,122 --> 00:09:42,832
I think we have a winner!
175
00:09:43,249 --> 00:09:44,750
I'm pretty happy right now.
176
00:09:44,834 --> 00:09:46,252
People underestimate.
177
00:09:46,335 --> 00:09:48,504
- They really do run forever.
- Yeah.
178
00:09:48,588 --> 00:09:50,548
It sounds like
my grandma's sewing machine.
179
00:09:55,219 --> 00:09:56,971
This isn't a cheap replica.
180
00:09:57,054 --> 00:10:00,141
We're talking over 200 grand
for a car like this.
181
00:10:00,224 --> 00:10:02,018
Ever since I met with Don,
182
00:10:02,101 --> 00:10:05,896
I've been putting the word out,
and everybody's hit me up on this car.
183
00:10:05,980 --> 00:10:07,690
I'm calling because I heard a rumor
184
00:10:07,773 --> 00:10:11,402
that you guys
are making a replica of the XNR.
185
00:10:11,485 --> 00:10:13,529
Word apparently has got around.
186
00:10:13,613 --> 00:10:15,906
- I'm definitely interested.
- Well, there we go.
187
00:10:15,990 --> 00:10:17,992
I thought I'd get just a few guys,
188
00:10:18,075 --> 00:10:21,329
and all of a sudden,
everybody knows about the car.
189
00:10:21,412 --> 00:10:23,497
I mean, to be honest, this is exciting.
190
00:10:23,581 --> 00:10:25,833
I'm gonna put your name in the hat
right now.
191
00:10:26,292 --> 00:10:29,295
I'm getting texts. I'm getting calls.
I'm getting emails.
192
00:10:29,378 --> 00:10:31,672
Don't make any moves
without talking to me.
193
00:10:31,756 --> 00:10:32,757
No problem, Mitch.
194
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:34,842
This is a rare car, sure,
195
00:10:34,925 --> 00:10:37,345
but when you have
this many people interested...
196
00:10:37,428 --> 00:10:39,930
Don't get upset
if I blow up your phone three times...
197
00:10:40,014 --> 00:10:41,766
That... That's all right with me.
198
00:10:42,224 --> 00:10:45,645
...it gives you massive leverage
when it comes to the selling price.
199
00:10:45,728 --> 00:10:47,480
Is this the number I can get you back on?
200
00:10:47,563 --> 00:10:49,607
Go ahead. This is my number.
Keep in your belt.
201
00:10:49,690 --> 00:10:51,317
Sounds good.
202
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,027
All right.
203
00:10:56,030 --> 00:11:00,534
It's time to reassemble this truck
and make it look like a modern beast.
204
00:11:03,037 --> 00:11:07,541
We sent out the original artillery wheels
to be powder-coated black,
205
00:11:07,625 --> 00:11:09,502
and we slapped on a set
206
00:11:09,585 --> 00:11:14,006
of super-tough
off-road knobby 38-inch-tall tires.
207
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,301
I'm pretty damn sure
208
00:11:17,385 --> 00:11:20,054
this truck isn't gonna get stuck anywhere.
209
00:11:24,725 --> 00:11:25,768
One fender.
210
00:11:25,851 --> 00:11:27,144
Look. Bolt 'em on.
211
00:11:27,228 --> 00:11:29,605
This truck
weighs about 8,000 pounds,
212
00:11:29,689 --> 00:11:31,857
so if we want it to withstand a pounding,
213
00:11:31,941 --> 00:11:36,278
we're gonna have to install
a set of super heavy-duty shocks.
214
00:11:41,909 --> 00:11:44,328
The motor lasts forever.
The tranny lasts forever.
215
00:11:44,412 --> 00:11:45,996
Shocks, they don't last forever.
216
00:11:48,791 --> 00:11:50,251
This one's a little...
217
00:11:50,334 --> 00:11:51,774
- A little grease?
- A little grease.
218
00:11:51,836 --> 00:11:53,462
You're gonna have to spit on it.
219
00:11:53,546 --> 00:11:55,798
- I got a good one.
- Waah.
220
00:11:55,881 --> 00:11:57,091
Spit. Spit.
221
00:12:05,057 --> 00:12:06,100
There we go.
222
00:12:06,183 --> 00:12:09,645
That is officially
the shiniest part of this truck now.
223
00:12:09,729 --> 00:12:12,690
We got to get everything else
looking as good as the shocks look.
224
00:12:16,444 --> 00:12:20,990
I want no doubt in Andy's mind
when we trade for the XNR.
225
00:12:21,073 --> 00:12:22,700
Dude, that is badass.
226
00:12:22,783 --> 00:12:24,928
- That's hand-tooled leather and painted.
- Really?
227
00:12:24,952 --> 00:12:28,038
Andy's family has deep military roots.
228
00:12:28,122 --> 00:12:32,126
We have gone and put
a hand-tooled leather insignia
229
00:12:32,209 --> 00:12:34,211
of the United States Marine Corps
on the seat.
230
00:12:34,295 --> 00:12:36,088
- Oh, badass.
- I know.
231
00:12:36,172 --> 00:12:38,048
It's all three-dimensional.
It's all shaded.
232
00:12:38,132 --> 00:12:39,300
I'm sure that Andy
233
00:12:39,383 --> 00:12:42,970
will appreciate the homage
that we're paying to his grandfather
234
00:12:43,053 --> 00:12:45,055
who was a Marine in World War II.
235
00:12:45,139 --> 00:12:48,684
Then all we got to do is get this thing
ready for paint. Wa-psst.
236
00:12:59,945 --> 00:13:02,448
Even though
we're giving it modern touches,
237
00:13:02,531 --> 00:13:06,952
we want it to have all of the elements
of an original 1947.
238
00:13:07,036 --> 00:13:09,789
From the sheet metal to the wood bed,
239
00:13:09,872 --> 00:13:11,665
all the way down
to the original headlights,
240
00:13:11,749 --> 00:13:16,003
we need to resuscitate
every part of this monster
241
00:13:16,086 --> 00:13:17,713
to bring it back to life.
242
00:13:28,933 --> 00:13:32,436
This Power Wagon
is virtually indestructible,
243
00:13:32,853 --> 00:13:36,023
so I want to make it look
as tough as it runs
244
00:13:36,482 --> 00:13:39,109
with a gray-and-black urban camo.
245
00:13:39,193 --> 00:13:41,362
It's "new school" meets "vintage"
246
00:13:41,445 --> 00:13:44,406
that will take this truck
to a whole new level.
247
00:14:05,636 --> 00:14:08,013
This '47 Power Wagon
248
00:14:08,097 --> 00:14:10,683
owns every inch of the road.
249
00:14:11,475 --> 00:14:13,185
It's a freight train.
250
00:14:13,602 --> 00:14:16,105
It's a battering ram on four wheels.
251
00:14:28,742 --> 00:14:33,038
This truck will go anywhere,
do anything that you want it to do.
252
00:14:34,456 --> 00:14:36,876
Whoa. Ha ha ha ha.
253
00:14:37,585 --> 00:14:38,878
It's unstoppable.
254
00:14:38,961 --> 00:14:42,339
It doesn't matter if you're going uphill,
downhill, sideways.
255
00:14:42,798 --> 00:14:45,050
It pretty much thinks the world is flat.
256
00:14:46,468 --> 00:14:49,972
This classic truck is true to its roots.
257
00:14:50,055 --> 00:14:52,808
We preserved all of the original gauges
258
00:14:52,892 --> 00:14:55,227
and smoothed out the original sheet metal
259
00:14:55,811 --> 00:15:00,065
and breathed new life
into that straight six-cylinder engine.
260
00:15:00,858 --> 00:15:04,778
The path to that XNR
has been an uphill climb,
261
00:15:04,862 --> 00:15:05,946
so it's only fitting
262
00:15:06,030 --> 00:15:09,658
that this truck take us
to the top of the mountain.
263
00:15:35,142 --> 00:15:37,770
So how much information
did you actually divulge to Andy?
264
00:15:37,853 --> 00:15:40,040
- Did you tell him anything?
- I didn't send him pictures.
265
00:15:40,064 --> 00:15:41,148
I wanted to surprise him.
266
00:15:41,231 --> 00:15:46,403
I think once he sees the look of these,
he's gonna be so surprised and charged up.
267
00:15:46,487 --> 00:15:48,697
- I mean, the cars look great.
- I hope so.
268
00:15:48,781 --> 00:15:52,993
I'm about as confident as I can be
that this trade is gonna work out,
269
00:15:53,077 --> 00:15:56,705
but we spent a lot of time
and a lot of money
270
00:15:57,164 --> 00:16:01,168
building two super-custom
vintage vehicles for Andy,
271
00:16:01,251 --> 00:16:04,838
and he's coming all the way from Vermont
to see this through,
272
00:16:04,922 --> 00:16:08,842
and we've actually
never put our hands on this car.
273
00:16:08,926 --> 00:16:11,178
We've only seen pictures and video.
274
00:16:11,595 --> 00:16:13,222
Here he comes.
275
00:16:13,305 --> 00:16:16,141
- Our toy is inside that Cracker Jack box.
- Yeah.
276
00:16:16,934 --> 00:16:18,227
- How you doing?
- Andy!
277
00:16:18,310 --> 00:16:22,523
It's impossible not to get butterflies
in the stomach right now.
278
00:16:22,606 --> 00:16:25,484
- You made it.
- Man, that was a haul.
279
00:16:25,567 --> 00:16:27,569
- How you doing, brother?
- Nice to meet you guys.
280
00:16:27,653 --> 00:16:31,991
It's been a big trip. I been spending
a lot of time thinking about this.
281
00:16:32,074 --> 00:16:33,158
Oh, yeah, I bet.
282
00:16:33,242 --> 00:16:35,035
- Let's take a look.
- Let's get in there.
283
00:16:35,119 --> 00:16:36,328
Absolutely.
284
00:16:37,579 --> 00:16:40,082
That looks like the backs
of an Exner.
285
00:16:40,165 --> 00:16:41,458
Let's get it out of here.
286
00:16:46,046 --> 00:16:47,297
Pretty rock-solid.
287
00:16:51,844 --> 00:16:52,845
That's good.
288
00:16:54,972 --> 00:16:57,599
Wow. You know,
you see pictures and videos of it,
289
00:16:57,683 --> 00:17:02,104
but until you see it for real,
you can't get that full vision of it.
290
00:17:02,688 --> 00:17:04,523
Man, the thing looks good.
291
00:17:04,606 --> 00:17:06,650
It looks like you started with
a good donor car.
292
00:17:06,734 --> 00:17:09,903
It's a '60 Valiant.
It's got the Slant Six in it.
293
00:17:09,987 --> 00:17:13,240
Both doors are molded into it.
I could see the hood lines molded into it.
294
00:17:13,323 --> 00:17:16,368
Some high-quality work.
I mean, it's in damn good shape.
295
00:17:16,452 --> 00:17:18,454
I was expecting this car to be accurate,
296
00:17:18,537 --> 00:17:21,457
but this thing is 100% spot-on.
297
00:17:21,540 --> 00:17:24,460
The mold for this body
was machined out of foam
298
00:17:24,543 --> 00:17:27,588
and came from the original
designer blueprints of the car.
299
00:17:30,049 --> 00:17:32,176
The lines are flawless on this body.
300
00:17:32,259 --> 00:17:33,427
These are pretty thin seams,
301
00:17:33,510 --> 00:17:36,138
and it's already got the trunk line
molded into it.
302
00:17:36,221 --> 00:17:37,890
The seams are perfect.
303
00:17:37,973 --> 00:17:40,309
The fiberglass is some of the best work
I've ever seen.
304
00:17:40,726 --> 00:17:42,811
This car is a hundred percent spot-on.
305
00:17:42,895 --> 00:17:44,646
Even the steering wheel looks brand-new.
306
00:17:44,730 --> 00:17:46,982
You can see how nice the original was.
307
00:17:47,066 --> 00:17:49,443
- So the wheelbase is 106.5?
- Yeah.
308
00:17:49,526 --> 00:17:52,279
- It's right on the money.
- You know, I got it this far
309
00:17:52,362 --> 00:17:56,241
and just, I can't honestly
see the finish line in the near future.
310
00:17:56,325 --> 00:17:59,787
It's like the interior and the wiring
and the gauges and all that stuff.
311
00:17:59,870 --> 00:18:01,789
- It's...
- Devil's in the details.
312
00:18:01,872 --> 00:18:05,501
And this isn't just any car.
It's got to be perfect, period-correct.
313
00:18:05,584 --> 00:18:07,336
- What about that motor?
- Yeah.
314
00:18:07,419 --> 00:18:09,338
That's the Ram Jet that
we talked about.
315
00:18:09,421 --> 00:18:12,007
The XNR wasn't the only part of this deal.
316
00:18:12,091 --> 00:18:14,551
Three-fifty Ram Jet, T400 trans.
317
00:18:14,635 --> 00:18:16,303
Andy agreed to throw in
318
00:18:16,386 --> 00:18:19,473
a plug-and-play Ram Jet 350 engine.
319
00:18:19,556 --> 00:18:21,916
- It's even got the wrapper...
- It's still got the wrapper.
320
00:18:21,975 --> 00:18:24,603
- I even got the wiring harness.
- Oh, yeah.
321
00:18:24,686 --> 00:18:27,231
- He's got the goodies that go with it.
- He's got everything.
322
00:18:27,648 --> 00:18:29,817
This thing has all the bells and whistles.
323
00:18:29,900 --> 00:18:31,860
Let's go inside and check out our toys.
324
00:18:31,944 --> 00:18:36,281
The only question is is Andy satisfied
with what he's getting in return?
325
00:18:36,365 --> 00:18:37,574
What do you think of that?
326
00:18:38,492 --> 00:18:41,120
How's that for a '47 Power Wagon?
327
00:18:41,954 --> 00:18:42,955
Wow.
328
00:18:43,664 --> 00:18:47,668
And I know that your grandfather
was in the military, and he was a marine.
329
00:18:47,751 --> 00:18:50,546
Stand on this side and check that out.
How do you like that interior?
330
00:18:51,630 --> 00:18:54,424
- Oh, man, "Semper Fi." I love that.
- Yeah.
331
00:18:54,508 --> 00:18:56,802
We got it in the door panels, everything.
332
00:18:56,885 --> 00:18:59,680
Part of the reason
I was interested in a military vehicle
333
00:18:59,763 --> 00:19:01,014
is 'cause of my grandfather.
334
00:19:01,098 --> 00:19:04,351
He was a World War II machine gunner,
enlisted at 17.
335
00:19:04,768 --> 00:19:07,187
He's gone now,
but I know driving around in this thing
336
00:19:07,271 --> 00:19:09,189
would honor him in a really cool way.
337
00:19:09,273 --> 00:19:11,733
Yeah, we even put the logo
on the tailgate.
338
00:19:11,817 --> 00:19:15,445
- Amazing.
- And then up front, the motor in it is...
339
00:19:17,447 --> 00:19:18,740
It's the original six.
340
00:19:20,409 --> 00:19:22,744
So it runs like a dream.
341
00:19:22,828 --> 00:19:24,454
We didn't mess with any of this thing,
342
00:19:24,538 --> 00:19:27,457
and it'll still crawl up that wall
in low, low first gear.
343
00:19:27,541 --> 00:19:32,129
And you can tell how solid this truck was
before we even did all this.
344
00:19:32,212 --> 00:19:33,922
They're hard to come by.
345
00:19:34,006 --> 00:19:37,259
I like the rubber on it, too.
This thing looks like it can go anywhere.
346
00:19:37,342 --> 00:19:38,677
It pretty much can.
347
00:19:39,178 --> 00:19:41,555
I got to say,
I got to look at this, too, because...
348
00:19:41,638 --> 00:19:43,140
- Yeah?
- Man.
349
00:19:43,223 --> 00:19:46,560
We're running a four cylinder in it
with automatic transmission.
350
00:19:46,685 --> 00:19:48,478
And is that a Model A chassis it's on?
351
00:19:48,562 --> 00:19:51,481
Yep. It's in reverse, too,
just like they used to do it.
352
00:19:51,565 --> 00:19:53,108
Hop up in there. Yeah.
353
00:19:53,192 --> 00:19:54,878
- Let's give it a try.
- Lookit. It's a fit.
354
00:19:54,902 --> 00:19:58,488
You really gotta throw some muscle
into wheeling these things around...
355
00:19:58,572 --> 00:20:00,866
Yeah. The car actually was
an original racer.
356
00:20:00,949 --> 00:20:02,159
This is original tin.
357
00:20:02,242 --> 00:20:04,077
- Wow.
- Yeah, it's pretty slick.
358
00:20:05,871 --> 00:20:07,497
Oh, yeah.
359
00:20:08,999 --> 00:20:11,168
Love it.
360
00:20:12,419 --> 00:20:14,105
There you go.
361
00:20:14,129 --> 00:20:15,589
That's what we like to hear.
362
00:20:15,923 --> 00:20:17,132
So you got to admit,
363
00:20:17,216 --> 00:20:20,802
you're getting a lot more than
what you originally thought, am I right?
364
00:20:23,263 --> 00:20:26,391
I can't see anything
other than a full trade...
365
00:20:26,475 --> 00:20:29,186
the motor and trans and everything
for these two cars.
366
00:20:29,269 --> 00:20:30,520
What are you thinking?
367
00:20:30,604 --> 00:20:34,441
I got to be honest. I was feeling the deal
was a little lopsided on my way here.
368
00:20:36,235 --> 00:20:37,319
But, um...
369
00:20:39,488 --> 00:20:41,698
you guys found the right car to throw in.
370
00:20:41,782 --> 00:20:43,867
- It's that easy?
- It's that simple.
371
00:20:43,951 --> 00:20:46,221
- I think we got a deal.
- With the motor and transmission?
372
00:20:46,245 --> 00:20:49,122
- The motor's coming off.
- All right! Now we're talking.
373
00:20:49,206 --> 00:20:52,167
On the way, I was thinking the deal
might not be the best thing for me,
374
00:20:52,251 --> 00:20:56,004
but after seeing the cars and the detail
and the time and the craftsmanship,
375
00:20:56,088 --> 00:20:57,589
feels like they, like, read my mind
376
00:20:57,673 --> 00:21:00,175
as far as what I would want
out of a deal like this.
377
00:21:00,259 --> 00:21:01,468
This is close to my heart.
378
00:21:01,551 --> 00:21:04,304
I didn't tell you guys,
but my dad races these,
379
00:21:04,388 --> 00:21:07,182
so this is something that we could
play around with together
380
00:21:07,266 --> 00:21:08,433
and have a lot of fun.
381
00:21:08,517 --> 00:21:10,519
I'm happy to be going home
with these two cars,
382
00:21:10,602 --> 00:21:13,397
and I think they're gonna have
a cool project on their hand.
383
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,440
It's like you must have done
some research on me.
384
00:21:15,524 --> 00:21:18,819
This is exactly why you roll the dice.
385
00:21:18,902 --> 00:21:20,622
With everything that's happened
in this shop
386
00:21:20,654 --> 00:21:22,239
over the past six months,
387
00:21:22,322 --> 00:21:25,284
we finally got dealt the perfect hand.
388
00:21:25,367 --> 00:21:28,578
This was a big risk, even for us,
but it paid off.
389
00:21:29,204 --> 00:21:30,372
Yeah!
390
00:21:30,455 --> 00:21:34,126
This is what we've been working towards
for the past month plus...
391
00:21:34,209 --> 00:21:36,211
getting our hands on the unicorn
392
00:21:36,295 --> 00:21:40,090
that will lead us
to a massive six-figure payday.
393
00:21:40,173 --> 00:21:42,467
I am gonna say,
this looks a lot nicer in person
394
00:21:42,551 --> 00:21:44,344
- than it did in the pictures.
- Yeah?
395
00:21:44,428 --> 00:21:45,788
The good thing is we did get this,
396
00:21:45,846 --> 00:21:48,932
and that motor that showed up
that you guys don't know what it's for...
397
00:21:49,016 --> 00:21:50,600
It came with this as part of our deal.
398
00:21:50,684 --> 00:21:52,894
It's a brand-new Ram Jet
with a transmission.
399
00:21:52,978 --> 00:21:55,022
- Everything's there.
- It looks really cool.
400
00:21:55,105 --> 00:21:56,398
But look. There's more.
401
00:21:56,481 --> 00:21:57,524
- Grab that tube.
- Yeah?
402
00:21:57,607 --> 00:22:01,611
This is what's gonna help you figure out
how to make what you gotta make.
403
00:22:01,695 --> 00:22:03,655
- I like the way he said that.
- XNR blueprints.
404
00:22:03,739 --> 00:22:06,158
- There you go.
- Oh, wow.
405
00:22:06,241 --> 00:22:09,077
So basically, there's 3D models
of this whole car.
406
00:22:09,161 --> 00:22:11,455
And there's a lot of detail.
There's a ton of detail.
407
00:22:11,538 --> 00:22:13,415
That grille's gonna take
a couple days to cut.
408
00:22:13,498 --> 00:22:15,500
And the headlights and the wheels...
409
00:22:15,584 --> 00:22:17,961
I don't think these wheels
are off of anything else.
410
00:22:18,045 --> 00:22:23,592
So basically, it's got to be done
exactly like the original car.
411
00:22:24,468 --> 00:22:26,970
I want this car to look and feel
412
00:22:27,054 --> 00:22:33,185
as if it's sitting on a turntable
at the Detroit Auto Show in 1960.
413
00:22:33,268 --> 00:22:36,063
To do that, it's all about
paying attention
414
00:22:36,146 --> 00:22:38,899
to every single minute detail.
415
00:22:38,982 --> 00:22:42,444
We'll need to create
the dual sidepipe exhaust,
416
00:22:42,527 --> 00:22:43,737
custom badging,
417
00:22:44,196 --> 00:22:48,450
and a super-unique,
photography-inspired instrument panel.
418
00:22:48,533 --> 00:22:51,828
Under the hood,
we'll swap out the old Valiant intake
419
00:22:51,912 --> 00:22:55,665
with a more powerful intake
and a four-barrel carburetor
420
00:22:55,749 --> 00:22:57,834
just like the original XNR.
421
00:22:58,293 --> 00:23:00,379
We'll also custom fabricate
422
00:23:00,462 --> 00:23:03,548
a true-to-form replica
of the original wheel,
423
00:23:03,632 --> 00:23:05,175
and finish off the car
424
00:23:05,258 --> 00:23:09,179
with a glossy red paint job
that's smooth as glass.
425
00:23:09,262 --> 00:23:11,556
I've already got
potential buyers lined up.
426
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:12,766
I put the word out.
427
00:23:12,849 --> 00:23:16,144
Everybody knows that we've got
one of these coming down the pipe.
428
00:23:16,228 --> 00:23:19,648
But the thing is,
we don't want this project to get stale,
429
00:23:19,731 --> 00:23:22,484
and if this car isn't done for six months,
430
00:23:22,567 --> 00:23:24,820
those guys
are gonna lose a little interest.
431
00:23:24,903 --> 00:23:27,406
This is like a $150,000, $200,000 car
sitting in front of you,
432
00:23:27,489 --> 00:23:30,909
and that-that payday
has an expiration date on it.
433
00:23:30,992 --> 00:23:32,244
We want to get it done fast,
434
00:23:32,327 --> 00:23:35,664
and the only way to do that
is to utilize all 24 hours in a day.
435
00:23:35,747 --> 00:23:38,208
We're gonna be sleeping here,
eating pizza.
436
00:23:38,291 --> 00:23:41,420
Call your family. If they want to see you,
they got to come visit you for work.
437
00:23:41,503 --> 00:23:42,838
Shawn, go find us
438
00:23:42,921 --> 00:23:44,965
all those crazy little parts
that we're gonna need.
439
00:23:45,465 --> 00:23:48,218
The rest of us, let's get some tools
and get to business.
440
00:23:48,301 --> 00:23:49,678
No time like the present.
441
00:23:49,761 --> 00:23:52,931
What's first now is that steering wheel.
We gotta get this steer...
442
00:23:53,014 --> 00:23:54,891
You mean you don't wanna drive like that?
443
00:23:54,975 --> 00:23:59,104
I think it would be a little difficult
with your chin embedded in the dashboard.
444
00:23:59,187 --> 00:24:02,274
The Plymouth XNR
had a much smaller cockpit
445
00:24:02,357 --> 00:24:05,110
than the 1960 Valiant it was built on.
446
00:24:05,193 --> 00:24:06,820
And then as far as the pedals go,
447
00:24:06,903 --> 00:24:09,531
let's make linkage pedals
that are welded to the floor,
448
00:24:09,614 --> 00:24:11,867
but with linkage
that goes to the original pedals.
449
00:24:11,950 --> 00:24:14,244
We're going to
have to extend the steering wheel
450
00:24:14,327 --> 00:24:15,537
and move the pedals
451
00:24:15,620 --> 00:24:18,248
so that they actually
are orientated correctly
452
00:24:18,331 --> 00:24:22,127
in the new placement
of the new cockpit in the XNR.
453
00:24:23,003 --> 00:24:25,297
All right, this thing's ready to come out.
454
00:24:25,380 --> 00:24:26,548
- You got it?
- Yep.
455
00:24:26,631 --> 00:24:28,550
Yeah. It's got a few extras
coming with it.
456
00:24:28,633 --> 00:24:32,304
- How much of an extension does it need?
- Everything's got to come back 13 inches.
457
00:24:32,387 --> 00:24:33,680
While Tony works on that,
458
00:24:34,139 --> 00:24:37,100
I'm gonna start cutting on
all the fiberglass seams
459
00:24:37,184 --> 00:24:40,437
and start carving out all the body panels.
460
00:24:40,854 --> 00:24:43,899
These cuts
have to be straight and precise.
461
00:24:45,066 --> 00:24:48,695
This body is so correct,
the last thing I want to do
462
00:24:48,778 --> 00:24:51,531
is start having to fiberglass my mistakes.
463
00:24:51,615 --> 00:24:54,576
Watch the edges, you don't cut yourself
or get a fiberglass splinter.
464
00:24:54,659 --> 00:24:58,622
Feel like it wouldn't be the first time,
but it's still every time.
465
00:24:58,705 --> 00:24:59,705
Yes.
466
00:25:01,708 --> 00:25:03,168
Andy did a great job
467
00:25:03,251 --> 00:25:07,255
on building a solid foundation
for this XNR.
468
00:25:07,881 --> 00:25:10,967
But that is just the tip of the spear.
469
00:25:11,051 --> 00:25:15,305
There is so much work
to get this car to the finish line.
470
00:25:20,810 --> 00:25:23,063
You get a body put on,
you're like, "I'm halfway there,"
471
00:25:23,146 --> 00:25:25,774
then you realize, "I'm not even
tenth of the way there yet."
472
00:25:25,857 --> 00:25:28,485
There's a really big difference
between "It looks like a car"
473
00:25:28,568 --> 00:25:31,154
- and "It actually works."
- It actually steers and has brakes.
474
00:25:31,238 --> 00:25:35,659
You take steering and brakes for granted
when you don't have to think about it.
475
00:25:35,742 --> 00:25:38,828
The only thing I have
is a set of blueprints
476
00:25:38,912 --> 00:25:40,830
and four other sets of dirty hands.
477
00:25:41,248 --> 00:25:42,624
- Say when.
- When.
478
00:25:42,707 --> 00:25:46,336
Everything on this car
needs to be built in this shop.
479
00:25:46,419 --> 00:25:47,419
All right.
480
00:25:47,462 --> 00:25:51,049
There is no XNR
let-me-buy-a-part catalog.
481
00:25:51,132 --> 00:25:52,801
None of it exists.
482
00:25:52,884 --> 00:25:55,387
That means every little detail
483
00:25:55,470 --> 00:25:59,182
has to be replicated
and fabricated from thin air.
484
00:26:00,141 --> 00:26:01,309
I think we're pretty good.
485
00:26:01,393 --> 00:26:04,437
We got steering, we got brakes.
The gas pedals move forward.
486
00:26:04,521 --> 00:26:06,523
It almost does
all the things a car should do.
487
00:26:14,197 --> 00:26:17,492
- What's up, buttercup?
- I wanted to talk a little about the XNR.
488
00:26:17,576 --> 00:26:20,056
I'd like to know where we're going
and where it's gonna end up.
489
00:26:20,453 --> 00:26:23,039
Let me tell you.
The reaction on this car...
490
00:26:23,123 --> 00:26:25,709
People know that we're doing it,
and they are excited.
491
00:26:26,126 --> 00:26:30,672
The XNR is getting way more attention
than I ever could've expected.
492
00:26:30,755 --> 00:26:34,009
Word spread really fast
in the high-end car community,
493
00:26:34,092 --> 00:26:38,346
but I got one call in particular
that I need to talk to Mark about.
494
00:26:38,430 --> 00:26:41,308
Let's just say
it's way above my pay grade.
495
00:26:41,725 --> 00:26:44,853
I actually got a phone call from Michael,
496
00:26:44,936 --> 00:26:49,274
who is the curator
at the Petersen Auto Museum in L.A.
497
00:26:50,442 --> 00:26:52,402
- Got my attention now.
- Yeah.
498
00:26:52,485 --> 00:26:56,281
And they're interested in the car,
and they want to make it
499
00:26:56,364 --> 00:26:58,908
part of their permanent collection
at the Petersen.
500
00:26:58,992 --> 00:27:01,369
- Wow.
- That's bragging rights right there.
501
00:27:01,453 --> 00:27:04,664
The Petersen Automotive Museum
in Los Angeles
502
00:27:04,748 --> 00:27:08,627
is one of the biggest car collections
in the world.
503
00:27:08,710 --> 00:27:12,339
Their car collection
is unrivaled by anyone.
504
00:27:12,422 --> 00:27:17,302
To get a car in their museum
is one of, if not the biggest, honor
505
00:27:17,385 --> 00:27:20,639
that anybody in the automotive industry
can get.
506
00:27:20,722 --> 00:27:25,602
What that would do for us moving forward
is astronomical.
507
00:27:25,685 --> 00:27:28,438
That's gigantic.
It just, like, pfft, through the roof.
508
00:27:28,521 --> 00:27:29,439
So here's the thing...
509
00:27:29,522 --> 00:27:31,900
I already have a car
in the Petersen Automotive Museum.
510
00:27:32,525 --> 00:27:36,071
Twenty years ago,
before I even started Gotham Garage,
511
00:27:36,154 --> 00:27:40,492
I built a one-to-one scale car
of the
Speed Racer Mach 5.
512
00:27:41,409 --> 00:27:44,663
That car was purchased by
the Petersen Automotive Museum
513
00:27:44,746 --> 00:27:48,375
and has been sitting on their floor
ever since on display.
514
00:27:48,458 --> 00:27:51,461
There is only
a handful of us car builders...
515
00:27:51,544 --> 00:27:55,340
I'm not talking America,
I'm talking the entire world,
516
00:27:55,423 --> 00:27:56,883
that can actually say
517
00:27:56,966 --> 00:28:00,428
they have more than one car
at this museum.
518
00:28:00,512 --> 00:28:04,140
The reason I'm sitting in this chair
right now talking to your ugly face
519
00:28:04,224 --> 00:28:07,686
is because that white car
with the yellow five on the door
520
00:28:07,769 --> 00:28:09,938
is what started me in this industry
521
00:28:10,021 --> 00:28:12,399
and got my name out there
and put me on the map.
522
00:28:12,482 --> 00:28:16,820
To go 20 years and have that again
is gonna just launch us through the roof.
523
00:28:16,903 --> 00:28:19,989
- There'll be nobody that could touch us.
- That would be pretty impressive.
524
00:28:20,073 --> 00:28:21,353
What kind of money they talking?
525
00:28:21,408 --> 00:28:24,536
Here's the catch
is this isn't 20 years ago.
526
00:28:24,619 --> 00:28:26,705
There is a long line of people
527
00:28:26,788 --> 00:28:30,250
that are trying to get their car
into the Petersen Museum,
528
00:28:30,333 --> 00:28:33,420
so they do not pay for cars anymore.
529
00:28:33,503 --> 00:28:35,672
They go just on donations.
530
00:28:35,755 --> 00:28:37,882
So they want us to donate this car.
531
00:28:37,966 --> 00:28:42,595
They want us to donate
probably a $200,000 car.
532
00:28:43,138 --> 00:28:44,639
That's something to think about.
533
00:28:44,723 --> 00:28:47,684
I know what having a car
in the Petersen Automotive Museum
534
00:28:47,767 --> 00:28:49,561
can do for this business.
535
00:28:49,644 --> 00:28:54,149
It will put Gotham Garage
in the upper echelon of custom car shops.
536
00:28:54,232 --> 00:28:56,693
Everything that we do is worth more money.
537
00:28:56,776 --> 00:28:59,195
People with big money
are gonna to want to come to us.
538
00:28:59,279 --> 00:29:01,322
- Yeah.
- There's gonna be a line out the door.
539
00:29:01,406 --> 00:29:04,576
You're gonna spend more time
looking for cars than you are for people.
540
00:29:04,659 --> 00:29:05,535
It's gonna fill...
541
00:29:05,618 --> 00:29:08,747
Both these shops
are gonna be, like, racked and stacked.
542
00:29:08,830 --> 00:29:11,291
It's gonna become this big, giant machine.
543
00:29:11,374 --> 00:29:15,003
But we would be taking
a $200,000 financial hit
544
00:29:15,086 --> 00:29:16,087
to make this happen,
545
00:29:16,171 --> 00:29:20,925
and the crew has been waiting for weeks
to get a huge payday on this XNR.
546
00:29:21,009 --> 00:29:24,012
You and me sitting in here
talking about it, it's a done deal.
547
00:29:24,095 --> 00:29:27,390
I don't think the people
on the other side of that wall...
548
00:29:28,057 --> 00:29:32,312
are gonna be
remotely happy with that idea.
549
00:29:34,230 --> 00:29:35,315
Here, tighten that up.
550
00:29:36,775 --> 00:29:38,860
Hey, guys,
Shawn's got something to tell you.
551
00:29:38,943 --> 00:29:40,945
- That's never good.
- That's never any good.
552
00:29:41,029 --> 00:29:42,614
No, no, no, no.
553
00:29:42,697 --> 00:29:46,910
I've been putting the word out,
and the word has got around,
554
00:29:46,993 --> 00:29:48,036
let me tell you.
555
00:29:48,119 --> 00:29:51,039
The Petersen actually called me,
556
00:29:51,122 --> 00:29:56,169
and they're interested on the XNR
being in their permanent collection.
557
00:29:56,252 --> 00:29:58,379
Wow, that's... That's awesome.
558
00:29:58,463 --> 00:30:01,883
Here's the catch.
The Petersen doesn't pay for cars.
559
00:30:03,426 --> 00:30:06,638
We would have to
donate the car to the Petersen
560
00:30:06,721 --> 00:30:07,722
to get it in the museum.
561
00:30:08,723 --> 00:30:09,724
You're kidding.
562
00:30:10,475 --> 00:30:14,479
We just built two other cars,
traded for this, so that's like trading...
563
00:30:15,104 --> 00:30:16,384
- Right?
- ...multiple cars,
564
00:30:16,439 --> 00:30:19,901
- multiple months of work for free.
- It's not even a trade. It's a giveaway.
565
00:30:19,984 --> 00:30:21,820
We're trading it for an accolade.
566
00:30:21,903 --> 00:30:25,323
I get the prestige, I'm happy
about all that, but that's a big hit.
567
00:30:25,406 --> 00:30:27,534
We've gone months
without seeing any money lately.
568
00:30:27,617 --> 00:30:30,870
- Now you're asking us to dig deeper.
- This was our big payday.
569
00:30:31,287 --> 00:30:35,667
It is an honorhaving the opportunity
to put a car in the Petersen Museum,
570
00:30:35,750 --> 00:30:38,002
but I've got a family with a house,
571
00:30:38,086 --> 00:30:42,090
and my number one priority
is my family at home,
572
00:30:42,173 --> 00:30:46,761
so I can't just donate cars
and not have to think twice about that.
573
00:30:46,845 --> 00:30:49,597
- I get we're earning our way into it...
- Comes with a cost.
574
00:30:49,681 --> 00:30:51,617
- That's a pretty steep cost.
- The cost is...
575
00:30:51,641 --> 00:30:54,686
That is a big cost,
but it's an elite club.
576
00:30:54,769 --> 00:30:56,855
This is like winning the Super Bowl.
577
00:30:56,938 --> 00:30:58,690
- Yeah?
- It's kind of like that.
578
00:30:58,773 --> 00:31:00,441
It's such a benefit for the shop.
579
00:31:00,525 --> 00:31:04,654
That gets more people wanting us
to do bigger jobs,
580
00:31:04,737 --> 00:31:06,698
which mean more money for us.
581
00:31:06,781 --> 00:31:08,908
These people buy
the five-million-dollar cars
582
00:31:08,992 --> 00:31:10,118
you see going at auction.
583
00:31:10,201 --> 00:31:12,412
That's the foot in the door
to that clientele.
584
00:31:12,495 --> 00:31:16,457
I think it's totally worth it.
I think that's such a huge accomplishment
585
00:31:16,541 --> 00:31:19,586
that would just bring us
so much more work afterwards.
586
00:31:19,669 --> 00:31:22,839
Our quality gets put out there
where people go,
587
00:31:22,922 --> 00:31:26,426
"Wow, I want Gotham Garage
to put a car together..."
588
00:31:26,759 --> 00:31:29,429
It means the next car is worth more money,
589
00:31:29,512 --> 00:31:33,349
and the next car is worth more money,
and the next car is worth more money.
590
00:31:33,850 --> 00:31:35,351
With our business model,
591
00:31:35,435 --> 00:31:37,687
they plan their lives
around these paychecks,
592
00:31:37,770 --> 00:31:41,107
and in the short term,
yeah, it's probably kind of frightening
593
00:31:41,190 --> 00:31:44,694
because if you're budgeting your money
and then that money doesn't come in,
594
00:31:44,777 --> 00:31:46,029
now you're high and dry.
595
00:31:46,112 --> 00:31:49,157
But in the long term,
it's my responsibility
596
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,702
to do what's best for the shop,
not best for the individual,
597
00:31:52,785 --> 00:31:56,247
and I know what this car in that museum
598
00:31:56,331 --> 00:31:58,166
will do for Gotham Garage.
599
00:31:58,249 --> 00:32:02,378
I don't know. This sounds like
a good theory, but there's no guarantees.
600
00:32:02,462 --> 00:32:04,756
I've had some big opportunities
that I've taken,
601
00:32:04,839 --> 00:32:08,134
and some have worked out great,
and others just haven't.
602
00:32:08,217 --> 00:32:10,720
And when it
comes down to gambling everything,
603
00:32:10,803 --> 00:32:13,723
- I'd just really think twice.
- Yeah?
604
00:32:13,806 --> 00:32:15,433
I really think twice.
