Original subtitles

Yeah!! Whoo!

Woah. Yeah!

Holy crap, what a big old turd.

'65 Lincoln Continental convertible.

This guy lives in Hollywood,

it's gotta look Hollywood.

This is not my game at all.

It's gonna be flashy, shiny.

This is gonna be like goin to school with a bunch of nuns.

And we're not good at following the rules.

Get the f ck off it.

This Lincoln is jinxed.

Woah.

This should not be happening.

This car's gonna be so hard man.

but the guy is a hell of a character.

You gotta be f cking kidding.

I'm Steve Darnell and I live in Sin City.

Me and my crew build one of a kind badass cars out of

crap we find everywhere.

We call 'em rat rods.

Don't know what a rat rod is?

Check this out...

�

�

I have two boys.

One's thirteen and one's fourteen.

It's exciting for me to have my kids here for the summer.

Alright.

We got some helpers in here today.

Wow you guys all walk exactly the same.

Darnelli's.

The boys are back in town.

The boys are back.

Ohhh! No.

What's up l'il dude?

Every kid should have the opportunity to go to work

with their Dad and be able to experience living like a man.

Twiggy, this is Kash.

Kash, nice to meet you.

This is Chase.

Nice to meet you.

I didn't know that you could clone kids.

[laughs].

Steve's kids are frighteningly like him.

That's, nuts.

These two are me times two and all hell is about ready

to break loose around here.

Whoota!

Whack!

Arrghh!

I'm gonna have to find something productive

for these kids to do.

They're going to eat him alive.

I have a client coming in.

He owns this cool bar in LA.

He's looking for something completely different.

Daniel is a character, 180 degrees different than me.

Daniel!

Holy Christ.

Gosh damn, we got really close to the same dressing.

He's the nice shiny five fifty Mercedes Benz parked

in the parking lot, and I'm the old rusty '57 Chevy.

Steve and I met at a car show a few months ago.

And I've seen his stuff in all the magazines.

He really puts his heart and soul into them

and creates art out of junk.

Well shoot, let's go look at this car.

True that.

See what we got.

'65 Lincoln Continental convertible.

Twenty-two feet long.

Six thousand pounds.

Tuna cruiser.

Holy crap.

What a big old turd.

What do you want to do?

Well, looking for something more customized.

I wanna make something that's, you know,

iconic and really fits me.

It's a little bit out of the whole shop's element.

You know, it's - it's not um a pre-war rust bucket kind

of car but it's nothing that they can't do.

I want Steve to really leave his mark on it but also have

it reflect my lifestyle and California,

I mean this is a very California car.

Okay, I'll be honest with you dude.

This is not my game at all.

Daniel pulls up in this- in this Lincoln and

I'm thinkin, Dude, everybody on the planet's already

tried to fix one of these things.

The Lincoln get's it's fame for being the car that

JFK was assassinated in.

The Lincoln Continental is an iconic luxury car.

Most recognize it for it's suicide rear-doors.

Seein in the movies dating back to the 1950's,

it is the ultimate Hollywood ride.

This is the kind of car that a rat-rodder would never touch.

I mean this thing's got no rust.

No junky parts.

I mean like it's completely out of my realm.

But I'm kind of honoured that this guy wants me

to take this Lincoln, use my vision on it.

How are YOU gonna make it different than everybody else?

We're gonna, I dunno.

We're gonna try something.

That's gonna be a tough order.

I wanna paint it like your suit.

Like a tuxedo theme.

We'll do black with some gold in it -Hell yeah.

That'll look good.

We had already talked on the phone, I said you know give

me some ideas, I need to know what you're into.

Give me some insight.

I mean he told me he was into cuff links, I'm like,

what, what are cuff links?

Oh, lookit that.

Jewels.

This is all cool stuff.

A lot of like bar tools.

Oh, that's kinda cool.

It's an old jigger for measuring booze in your drink.

Oh, okay.

Let's talk about the money situation here.

I'm gonna throw a number at ya.

I think we're gonna be somewhere around forty grand.

Steve comes at me pretty hard.

With ah, forty thousand.

I'm already into the car for a lot.

The Continentals are very desirable.

Especially the Convertibles and the '65 is kind of the

Goldilocks year.

I know you do amazing work and whatnot, but I was,

I was really lookin at more like thirty.

Dude, there's no way.

This car's gotta be different.

You know?

This guy lives in Hollywood.

It's gotta look Hollywood.

I'll tell you what.

We'll use what we have on the car.

We'll use the bumpers.

We'll use the trim.

We'll use the taillights.

We'll use as much as we can.

And we don't have to you know?

Buy that kinda stuff.

Yeah.

We can maybe get around, thirty-five grand.

Get it done in two weeks, let's do it.

In two weeks?

Really?

We're used to not painting nuthin.

Not doin interior.

And...

I know.

Nobody knows how to do it.

I-I know.

[laughs].

We're gonna figure It out.

Two weeks.

Let's do it.

Two weeks man.

A'right.

Oh, yeah, it starts.

It runs. That's a plus.

Whoo!

Dude, we love the Lincoln.

35 thousand bucks on this budget is just,

it's gonna have to do.

Yeah I'm sure Dave's gonna cry, like every other build.

He's gonna be like, oh dude, it's way too much,

blah blah blah, how we gonna pay for this,

how we gonna pay for that?

Nah, nah.

How about that dude?

I got to go to Hollywood cause I'm missing out on something.

I'm like holy crap dude, I love the suit.

I like the top hat.

I like everything but the car.

He wants jewels and diamonds...

He wants some crazy stuff.

...and cufflinks.

Somethin different.

It's just gonna be hard to get creative with this car.

Oh you'll, you'll put your touch on there.

We'll throw a little extra zing-zang on it.

Yeah. Yeah.

Is that a word?

It is now.

Zing-zang?

The Lincoln?

Has put Steve out of his comfort zone.

But you know what?

it's business, he's gotta be in the money zone.

Is the money good?

We got thirty-five grand.

I mean I'd normally say that's bitchin.

But that car's gonna suck a lot of that money up.

I just heard these cars are a nightmare.

Oh!

I can already tell you that convertible top is going

to cost a bunch of money.

I hope that everything in that car works.

Just gotta get a game plan.

It's all up here in the mastermind.

I got it handled.

Coming from the fact that we build Rat Rods.

Cool stuff.

Ratty, chop it up.

Cut it up.

Do what we want.

This is gonna be like goin to school with a bunch of nuns.

You actually have to follow the rules.

And we're not good at following the rules.

So, it's gonna be a little bit of a challenge.

The guys are not gonna be happy about this car,

I guarantee you.

Is everybody just thrilled about this Lincoln

that we got in here?

Yeah.

C'mon, get some spirits up.

This is a nice car.

On fire, it's a nice car going off a cliff into a lake.

Do we look like 'Pimp My Ride'?

Steve's crazy, doing a shiny, painted car,

we don't do that in the shop.

We don't have the tools for it, it's just,

it's not good.

No rust.

Nothing's beat up.

Everything's new and shiny.

That's kind of like I thought,

against Welderup law.

Well, we're just gonna have to work hard not to scratch it.

Can we make bets, who's gonna scratch this car first?

Oh yeah, there we go.

I got 20 on Mackay.

That's what's so fun about this.

Every time we get a new car in here,

it's like a new adventure.

This car HAS to look Hollywood.

I'm gonna give it a tuxedo theme, I wanna slam this

this thing on the ground.

This is a luxury car not a rust bucket so everything,

motor, convertible top, power windows,

has to work perfectly.

Let's go.

He doesn't want anybody else on the planet

to make this car but me.

I'm way out of my comfort zone.

If I'm gonna make this work, I need to make some changes.

Hey, dude.

I'm gonna have somebody else do the interior.

Are you freakin kiddin me?

The best thing is to outsource the interior for

this car, because it is complicated,

there's tons of little pieces.

My cousin Dave?

He will have stuff strung out from

Hell to breakfast in here.

Lookit me.

We gotta do door panels, we gotta do front seat

and back seat.

All the floor.

There's just things that you're not gonna be able to do.

No hard feelings okay?

Well dude, I just lost my job.

And then I...

You didn't lose your job.

Listen...

Just let me have a chance.

Seriously.

Let me have a chance to do it.

I'm gonna give you a chance at watchin my kids.

Oh, are you serious?

So I get demoted from Interior to now I'm a baby-sitter?

Yup.

Dude. Oh my gosh.

Are you freakin kiddin me?

Well they're old.

They're not like babies.

Yeah, well oh...

I mean you don't have to change their diaper.

Keep em outta trouble will ya?

Jeez.

I tell Dave that he's gonna be their baby-sitter,

but in all reality think my kids a are a little bit

more mature sometimes.

[laughs].

Steve, took away my job as the upholsterer so that the

other guys wouldn't feel bad that he chose me to be

a mentor for his boys.

So what are you guys gonna do to this thing?

Think we're gonna chop the back of the frame off.

Chop the front of that four-wheeler off.

We're gonna take a go kart and a quad and combine it

into a Welderup rat-quad.

The boys are about to learn from a master.

Me.

Well we're gonna have to figure out how to

connect the frames up.

So it has the whole rear-end of the four-wheeler back here.

I don't understand.

Sounds like a pretty big project to me.

It's gonna work.

Trust me.

Oh gosh.

Now you're talkin like your dad.

Oh god.

You guys needa push a little harder.

Just sandin all this old nasty paint off.

The boss said do it.

So we gotta do it.

You know there is so much process in getting

a car straight.

There's about a week of intense body work before

anybody can get in here and do their job.

Keep on doing it until it's right.

Kyle's doin a hell of a good job.

Body guys definitely have my respect.

But, I hate this sh t.

I need Kyle because he's a get it done type of guy.

He's relentless.

He will sand and beat on this car till it's straight.

We were told by Daniel, it was actually a pretty decent car.

Well, paint hides a lot of ah sins.

This car is really really rough.

I've been sanding for 5 days straight.

Block sanding it.

Primering it.

Block sanding it.

I mean it is like, I'm into this thing 5 days

and we haven't even touched nothing.

I gotta get going here.

It's giving me an anxiety attack.

Sh t.

Piece of crap.

Now it doesn't wanna fire.

That distributor's shot.

So the body and motor are crap.

Other than that, everything's great.

We took a 65 Lincoln for our Hollywood client, Daniel.

He wants classy and flashy, when we're used

to doing rusted junk.

I've got 8 days left and all we've done is sand on

this damn thing...and the motor is bad as the body.

Right now we're trying to get the car running.

It was running, for some reason it doesn't wanna run now.

The Lincoln's just giving us nothing but problems...

one after the other.

Transmission issues, we've got overheating issues...

it's got a bad distributer,

it's all wore out.

There's a lot of pieces to these cars.

These cars are crazy.

The technology that they had in 1965 is unbelievable.

There's four hydraulic motors in here that just

run the trunk and the convertible top.

I don't know how many switches every car moves

as this trunk opens.

One switch runs another switch to run another switch.

It is a sh tstorm.

If one thing goes wrong, this top goes, wraaah, werhhh.

Everything we touch ends up breaking, and we're finding

a lot more parts needed than we budgeted for.

What are you doing Kash?

Cutting.

Why?

Cause I feel like it.

I don't think we need to cut off the grips.

I'm going to.

Kay.

Well we're going to have disconnect the throttle,

brakes, just cut the frame right here and right here.

The first four-wheeler I ever bought myself.

And now we're chopping it up.

It's gonna be cool.

It's gonna be funner.

No it's not.

If you build it, it's stupid.

It's gonna be like extended.

N-no it's not.

So far these guys dreamed up that they wanna take a

go-kart and a four-wheeler and chop 'em in half

and make 'em work.

Don't like to pull on it too much or else

it'll pinch the weight.

Aaaaaahaa

These guys are always taking tires off 'a something

and putting motors in other stuff.

And just a matter of seein how much tools that

they're gonna break before it's over.

Then we're gonna Welder'up.

Hey I need some parts.

A '65 Lincoln Continental Convertible.

Need a wiper switch.

Window switches.

Oh, um what about ah constant voltage regulator?

For under the dash.

Gotcha.

The parts on the '65 Lincoln are hard to find because

it's a single year only.

So they're not remaking a lot of parts for it.

And what's out there is either new-old stock which

means that it's original.

Or it's rebuilt.

Not only are they hard to find, but they're expensive.

You know it's as no one, no one has anything.

Steve's goin to a pick-site looking for Lincoln parts.

Hopefully he gets lucky....

if not we're going way over budget.

Let's head over to Rick's.

Out in Pahrump.

Pahrump?

Again?

You love Pahrump.

You love Pahrump.

Yeah, yeah, it's great.

He's got all kinds of cool stuff.

I love Pahrump.

This is a great place to go look for some old junky cars.

'65 Lincoln parts are rare, so I know it's a long shot,

but I think Rick might have some parts out there.

Here it is -Yeah.

Oh my god.

God this place is great, isn't it?

Hey how's it going?

Yeah, my name's Rick, and you're in Pahrump Nevada.

This is my place and all my cars.

I see since last time I got out here,

you got a little more organized.

Yeah?

[laughs]-This is crazy.

I just picked up that '37 Ford.

Cam-aro!

Makes me wanna grow a mullet.

Damn thing caught me on fire last time

I started messin with it.

So, this is the kinda sh t I like, right here.

Cool grill.

That Plymouth or Chrysler?

I'm doing a Lincoln right now, so I'm - I'm not...

Builidng what I build usually, I can just drag up

some old junk laying around, and throw something

together and BAM there is it.

But, these are specific parts for this car.

64 or 5.. Drive train or..?

Parts, pieces...anything?

This is like looking for a needle in a haystack out here.

Trying to get parts is just...crazy.

Uhh...I can't see nothin' Sh t.

How can this guy have every part except for a '65 Lincoln?

Oh sorry, he has one thing.. Look at that.

Whaaat?'

Got a record player -Oh, that's cool.

These Lincolns, you know,

they had record players that actually went under the

dash that you could play back in the day.

Yeah, that's probably beyond repair.

Chug-a-chug-a-chu.

Chug-a-chugga-chugga.

Whicka-whicka-whicka-whicka, whaaa.

This thing was so hammered there was just no way to

bring it back to life.

And if I stick around here any longer, I'm just going

to start buying random junk.

One of these.

Oh yeah.

There we go, old bag phone.

Rrrrup!

Yeah, um, will you get me a pair of parachute pants.

Ah, hairspray, some Madonna gloves.

And about twenty more years and we'd start building

cars from the eighties.

We'll come get that from you.

No, nuthin out here for a Lincoln.

None of these pieces we found at the pick-site today

are going to work...

so that's a set back.

Dave is going to have to get on the ball and find some

parts for this damn thing.

So Steve came up dry on this pick,

which doesn't surprise me.

These Lincoln parts are hard to find.

I'm gonna call my sources and see if I can find some.

Hey, I've got a list of parts for a '65 Lincoln convertible.

Ooh. Yeah.

You have a fax wheel replacement carburetor?

No.

With servo's?

No.

A power antennae?

Nothing factory original.

What about a rag joint?

We do have some rag joints.

Wrong size.

I heard you guys restored a couple Lincoln convertibles.

Hoping you have some parts left over.

Uoogh.

You got any of the chrome pieces for the car?

No, we used everything we could find.

Lock bezels?

No.

Blinker gaskets?

No, I think we had to make those.

Power antennae?

You got anything for me?

No, but I might be able to get them in about 2 weeks.

2 weeks!

I was hoping that if anybody had'em, you guys would.

Yeah, good luck.

They're tough.

Dude, I'm havin a helluva time.

Do you have any electrical servos I can look at?

Um, servos? No.

Switches, for windows?

No.

Not if they need to be specific.

Shifter? Handles?

No, striking out today.

What about hind joints?

Ah, electrical switches?

Yeah, couple switches there.

And we got a right hand and left-hand hind-joint.

Cool. Well, we're getting somewhere.

Right on.

Two out of twenty's not bad.

Yeah.

[laughs].Man, not good odds for Vegas.

Oh man.

Terrible.

Two out of twenty parts.

The guys are really gonna love me now.

Ugh.

That thing is a nightmare dude.

It's a tub of problems is what it is.

Nothin's workin.

This car's gonna be suckin a lot of money dude.

Everything on this thing's expensive.

Switches are like a hundred bucks a piece.

And there's like what?

Ten of em?

That's nuthin compared to all the cylinoids and motors.

All that crap.

We got tires.

We got five or six grand worth of suspension.

I feel sick.

You better not be sick tomorrow.

I'm startin to feel badass.

Nobody can be sick till this sh t's overwith.

See you boys in the morning.

I gotta get my ah, beauty sleep.

Somethin that yer ugly mugs ought'a work on.

[Laughing].

We're on Day number nine hand sanding.

Enough days to lose my fingerprints.

It's goin through all my skin.

The Lincoln's gonna get a couple coats of High Build,

Urethane Primer.

I'm smiling, you just can't see.

Now that everyone's out of my way,

I can do some suspension.

Getting all the grease and grime off it.

Make it a little easier to work on.

Woah, woah, woah.

Holy sh t.

Look out.

You gotta be kidding me!

He had the car on the forklift.

And I don't think it was all the way locked into gear.

Slipped off the forks.

Forks came up and hit the front of the car.

I ignored rule number one.

Block the wheels.

I'm a dumbass.

Piece of sh t, f ckin transmission.

See, that's exactly.

Exactly why I don't do shiny sh t.

This is not good.

Pwwwwh!

got five days left on this build.

Woah, woah, woah, holy sh t.

When Justin was pressure washing the front end,

thing popped out of park, car rolled backwards.

Hit the header panel.

Bad news.

That car got really really screwed up.

Yeah, it's not good.

Kyle's not gonna be happy.

Kyle.

Yer gonna punch me.

Wouldn't have anything to do with that loud noise would it?

Absolutely.

I didn't really like the sound of that loud noise.

That's why I didn't come out of my camper.

[laughs].Well come look at it.

It f ckin blew out of park.

it went from a foot in the air to kwwwh!

It clipped the hood.

That makes me nauseous.

We gotta put the whole front end back together.

Bent all this and it bent all this.

It's pulled up big-time.

It took a beating.

F ck, I knew that noise was bad.

It's all my fault.

Now he's gotta restart and do the whole

front end so...Yup.

Bad news.

My fingers hurt.

My fingers hurt bad.

To be goin back to this stage, just, it just kind of

makes my body hurt.

One thing I'm gonna say to you...

-I don't wanna hear it.

You officially won, 'The First One to Scratch the Car Award'.

I just won fifty bucks.

That's the bright side.

Alright, well let's not celebrate about it.

What's happening here?

Is that this Lincoln is jinxed.

And the gods of rust are literally coming down upon

us and cursing us for doing this shiny car.

Oh-hoh.

Sss-oh-ho-ho-oh.

Starting to set in, isn't it?

Keep goin.

If I were to put a dent in anything else that I build,

we'd work with it.

It's kind of like character.

But on this car it's not.

It's gotta be done and done right.

Yeah, this is all pushed up.

It's actually cracked in numerous spots.

Crack, crack.

The front panel hit the hood.

Fixing a little accident.

It's kinda like goin into surgery and the doctor says,

you'll be alright, don't worry.

Well, they're the ones doin the work, not you.

You're just layin there takin a beating so.

That's me right now.

I think everybody was just startin to like the Lincoln

cause it was l-looking really straight

and now this happened, so.

Everybody's kinda changed their attitude right now.

Everybody's a little quiet.

And tensions are a little high right now.

Everything's just a pain in the ass.

So you guys pretty much did it how I told you.

You guys have got the um, the shifter here.

That's the brake.

Kay so cool, so you guys got the cooling unit right here.

Yeah, that's the gas tank.

Yeah well man, fill that thing up with some gas.

Let's ride this thing.

Still need gas lines.

Yeah, yeah, we gotta get those.

You gotta teach a lot of times kids, the wrong way?

So that they will then in turn do it the right way.

And that, in here, is something I know.

Yeah, anyways, um but then this light here,

I don't like this.

So put it somewhere.

Alright?

You guys did good.

You want me to write my name on the front of that?

Kay, I guess we're not talking still.

I'll come back tomorrow.

Looks brand new again don't it?

They fixed Justin's screwup.

Now it's ready to go out the door for paint.

Outsourcin this car's really not my style,

but the fact I don't paint nuthin I have.

I need a professional to paint it.

The colour scheme on this car's gonna be a flat black,

with multi-coloured flake in it.

The trim, gloss black, which I think'll accent

the car to make it look like a zoot-suit.

Can't wait to see what it looks like when It comes together.

Hey.

You want the good news or the bad news?

It better be good news.

I found parts.

The bad news?

They're in Florida.

Then Lincoln's been very difficult to get parts for.

There's very few parts here in Nevada.

I had to go to Florida to get almost all the parts.

Let's do it.

Get em shipped.

We can't be waitin around.

What are we gonna do ah for the details on the car?

Money's tight.

I'm gonna head down to the art district.

I'm gonna find me some sh t.

Try and make this happen.

There's gonna be some cool bling stuff down there.

I know there is.

Get them parts ordered or when I get back,

I'll whip you with the end of this little tig-rod.

Oh, I don't want that.

You'd probably like that wouldn't you?

Freak!

Every detail on this car has to be right.

So Travis, Twiggy and I are gonna go down to the

art district and look for some cool stuff.

C'mon. This is retro.

Get feelin retro-y.

Oh, cool.

Lookit.

This is drops off a job.

That he probably found for nuthin.

And they want $650 bucks.

Dude, we're in the wrong business.

We're in the wrong business.

We are in the wrong business.

Buildin cars sucks.

Let's go find some bling.

Oh yeah!

I'm inspired by this whole place.

I've never even looked at cufflinks until now.

Like in your life?

Nah.

I just never really realized the purpose that they served.

Have you ever worn a suit?

Did I wear one to my sister's wedding?

Did you wear one at your wedding.

Did you wear one at your own wedding?

No.

What?

What'd you wear?

Some jeans.

I wore pants though.

That's good.

Drawers full of jewels.

Chipped stuff.

Ah a drawer full of ah, narcotics.

[laughs].

Oh that's cool.

Oh, your head looks hella-weird right now.

This is Steve Darnell's vision.

I'm not a hundred percent sure what we're looking for

but I know that we'll probably know it when we see it.

This is real crystal huh?

Seventy-five bucks?

Really?

Yeah.

We might kill our budget in about three things here.

Yeah, no kiddin man.

Seventy-five bucks?

Why don't we find a really cool shot glass.

Stick it over the shifter in a boxy shot-glass on there.

Hey that just see... this is why we come here.

This inspires me.

It gives you great ideas.

You may not find something, but what you do get is you get

a little bit of inspiration out of where you're at.

And an idea.

There she is.

Bling, bling, bling, bling.

Ta-da!

The Lincoln just got back from paint.

Now we have to pull the rest of it together.

Kay, bring it back.

So a big ole car like this, It needs to be able to pull

up and slam drop all the way to the ground.

Because, way cooler.

Old folks don't like it.

It's pimpin.

Big Hollywood, this is what this guy needs.

The system has to calibrate itself.

It's got little leveller's on it.

To keep your ride height level while you're driving.

And so it's ah programming itself right now.

So it's just gonna go up and down and do a bunch

of funky stuff by itself.

It's got a mind of it's own right now.

Woah!

Awful low for ride height.

It's so close to the ground now.

Most of 'em don't slam all the way on the ground.

We actually went in and cut that inner fender wells out

and we got it all the way on the ground.

The problem with that is, it's just not engineered

to travel like that.

And we're makin it do it.

We over-slammed this car on the ground.

Well, we're lookin for any kind of clearance problem.

Since we lowered this thing, really probably when

it's lowered an inch from the ground.

Search and repair.

Cause this is gonna be the first thing that hits

when you hit a speed bump.

Boosh!

Little worried with our nice very super-expensive rims.

That when the car leans, getting really close

to this tire end.

When Steve came to me and told me that he wants to run

wire Dayton's on this car?

I was like, are you serious?

This is definitely out of your zone man.

Well, with these big wheels, if you run into a problem

of them hittin the inner fender well.

It's tight.

This is a big wheel for this car

See, it's gonna hit.

Wonder if we can jack up the suspension a little bit.

I can adjust it.

Dude, yer hittin the top.

What the f ck's goin on?

Watch out!

Woah.

They're all working on the car at once.

That's a lot of man around one car.

Even a car as big of a boat as a sixty-five Lincoln.

Watch out, look.

Get the f ck off it.

Get the f ck off it.

We got ten f ckin people in here.

I got suspension all mocked up.

I say put it back together again.

I can do it real quick.

Everybody's all up in my sh t.

I just need em to get the hell out of the way.

I f ckin put it together in ten f ckin seconds,

by my f ckin self.

Bullsh t, I helped you.

So just get the hell out of my way and let me finish my job.

We only have three days to finish this build.

This Lincoln's been a pain in the butt since we started.

Now we've found out that we have clearance issues.

This is the price you pay on trying to make

something look cool.

We are in chaos right now.

The inner fender wells are smackin the tires.

There's stuff hittin everywhere.

It's just a mess.

So we might have to shave that off.

I think if we cut it off here.

When you lower these things, you got a good chance of

damaging some things under the car.

Basically when we slam the car on the ground we have

to protect the underneath of the car.

So when it comes down it doesn't dip the oil pan

or put a hole in it.

So we put a protector.

It's gotta come down.

Like away from the oil pan.

Drill these, these, those and those and I'll go make

the pieces real quick.

I would never build one.

I don't recommend anybody build one.

They are so much work.

But when it comes together I think it's gonna

be a really nice ride.

Watch yer toes.

Lower it all the way to the ground.

Now it'll roll.

Yeah, there ya go.

Car looks sick.

Getting it all the way on the ground cost us almost a day.

But it's so worth it.

This thing is laid out so badass.

Why do you have a welding helmet on?

You can't weld.

Says you!

Yeah.

Says me.

I just said it.

Who's the 'chosen' one?

Yer not the chosen one.

Well, you screwed that one up.

Told you you couldn't weld.

I'm welding!

Get out.

Get out of here.

Chase, we better just have Dad do this.

We don't the frame to break.

Shut up. Shut up.

Aaaigh!

Hold on my kids are fightin.

Yer stupid -Ow.

[laughs].ow.

Aaah.

I'm tellin Dad!

Chase stabbed me with a screwdriver.

So?

So!

Quit bein annoying.

Look, look.

Every time you, every time...

[laughs].The whole world's gonna see that sh t.

Arrrghh!

Alright!

The upholstery's here.

The upholstery's here!

We need a cool tuxedo theme and could not leave

it up to Barber Dave.

My buddy Junior's comin in.

He can handle it.

I know this upholstery's gonna be a little over the top.

But it's gonna look sick when it's in this Lincoln.

Nice.

Well those are cute as f ck.

Hell yea.

I think this'll fit that guy really well.

Get in the driver's seat and test it out.

This is very cool.

All built by me.

These guys are about to see the creative vision that

I put into this go-cart.

I feel like Steve and the way that he feels when he

builds these Rat Rods.

Ah, last time I saw you around this you were

sleeping over there.

Yeah, you gotta get your rest to work on stuff.

[laughs].

I'm almost jealous that my kids are over here

building a rad-quad.

Hit the button.

I'm like looking over there goin, oh, that looks cool.

Holy sh t, lookit that.

Yay! Sweet.

It does ride pretty good.

They love anything with a motor.

Or something that's fast.

It's just bred into em.

Looks pretty badass.

Rat Rod-Go-cart.

Woah.

A little three wheel action, you see that?

Seein the kids trying to do

burnouts and drivin this thing around really kind of

makes you feel pretty proud.

Make it wheelie Mackay!

Let's just go to the go-cart track.

We all need a break in here right now anyway.

We got an upholstery guy in there workin today.

Thought it'd be a great opportunity to get out of

the shop we've been in there for a week

and a half straight.

Let's go ride go-carts.

No, I'll buy.

Let's got.

[cheers and yells]

I'll go check on the upholstery.

I'll be right back.

Alright dude.

Yer good here?

Yeah, I'm good.

Well we're goin go-cartin.

Oh, hell yeah, really?

No, you ain't.

Problem is, is I want him to learn.

And the only way that he's gonna learn is to stay

here today and work with this guy.

How do I say 'yer a freakin jerk', in Spanish?'

[in Spanish]

[in bad Spanish]

[laughs].

Get out of here.

Have fun.

Road trip.

Winnebago.

Whooo. Yeah!

Do men suck on popsicles, or do you just bite them?

I have really sensitive teeth.

[laughs].

Whooo!

Yer goin down -It's on!

Get the hell outta the way.

Oh!

Whoo-hoo-hoo.

Ha-ha!

[laughs].

So that's how it's gonna be huh?

Man, I'm so glad we came here today.

I feel so much better.

You know that'll give em a boost.

And hopefully this'll get everybody's energy back up.

Yay!

Whoo-hooo!

That was good.

Yeah!

What happened at the go-cart site?

I got fifth by the way.

I don't care if you got fifth.

I got fifth.

My two kids actually beat me.

And Dan.

I got beat by an old guy and two kids.

[laughs].

Parts.

Stinkin Lincoln parts.

It's been really difficult to get the parts to the guys

because we basically have to get everything from Florida.

Alright.

Good parts.

Whooo!

Just in time too.

Nice.

Is that all of it?

Now we don't have door lock gaskets.

And we don't have blinker gaskets.

if I ask for something?

Does it mean a (beep) thing?

Apparently in Dave's world it don't.

This should not be happening.

This raises my ah, blood pressure a little.

Dave still doesn't have my vote for our parts runner.

If I ordered every part that the guys wanted on this car?

We would've been broke a long time ago.

I had to prioritize.

See I'm always the bad guy when it comes to the parts,

cause if they're not here?

They wanna kick my ass.

Dave.

Where in the hell are all these parts at?

Dude these guys are up my ass right now about this sh t.

It's drivin me crazy.

There's stuff I can't find.

I don't know what to do.

I know it's a pain in the ass believe me.

I know there's nuthin for these Lincolns.

But we're gonna have to figure it out.

If I ask for something, doesn't mean a (beep) thing.

We can't get every part we need for the Lincoln.

The guys are pissed.

Some of these parts are ten times what other cars are

and it's really suckin our budget up real quick.

Dude, Kyle's pissed off.

He needs parts.

Everybody's mad.

I get it dude.

I mean he wanted an antennae.

A used antennae is four hundred bucks.

Wha-what could go wrong with an antennae?

He said he needs a new one.

Geez, what's wrong with the one we got?

Kyle said he can't use it.

God, make it work.

I know, that's what I told him.

I'm over there with the junk trying to...

I mean you're trying to make crap work and he's like,

"oh dude, I need to have all these brand new parts."

I told him.

I said, let's get some rubber and make your gaskets.

I'm to the point where I'm just gonna say dude,

this is what you have, make what you can out of it.

God I hate this car.

Sick and tired of it.

Yer not the only one.

It's a tough job.

I mean I gotta give Dave credit.

Realistically?

It's super hard to even get parts.

He's doin the best he can do with the budget.

But he's right.

These guys have to fix what we have here and make new parts.

We don't have time to get the lock glasses.

And we are not getting this.

We're not getting... we don't have time.

Kay well then let's work with what we have and keep goin.

Cause we're f cked.

We aint' getting it so let's just keep goin.

Sittin here cryin about it too long isn't gonna get it done.

Phew.

Managing personalities in the shop is just,

sometimes it's tough.

The pressure's on right now.

A lot of the Rat Rod stuff we do, ah we're - we're

takin pieces off of other cars and you just

can't with that car.

It won't look right.

We are kinda held back.

So you feel like bunch of wolves and your frothing at

the mouth cause you wanna get in there and just start

bangin stuff, but you can't.

[laughs].

it's - it's too nice of a vehicle.

Kay, so this guy's last name is Nelson.

And he got me some cufflinks that say, 'N', for 'Nelson'.

Gonna install these on the car.

This car's here high maintenance dude.

You gotta be so careful with it.

I like my cars like I like my women.

A little rough.

I like my women like I like my pickup.

Jacked up.

Rough, old tires on em?

Got a big ole trunk.

[laugh].

My favourite part of this car?

Is this shift-knob.

We drilled a hole in this shot-glass.

So it'll look kinda cool like this.

California?

Tchk-Tchk-Tchk.

This here is your gift from a - from a Vegas boy.

You did good Barber.

Thanks guys.

I'm glad I ddin't fail yeah.

Your mom's gonna be so proud.

Your breath it smells weird.

It feels good to be down to the details for this car.

These are registered plates through Welderup.

They're good for out the gate.

Then you're on your own.

The car is lookin straight, but we have to deal

with this rag-top before it's ready.

That's pretty raggly.

Dan is fixing the rag-top mechanics on this thing

to make it go up and down.

It works.

All we just have to do is get the cover put on it

and I think we'll be in good shape.

I'm not touchin this convertible rag-top.

I'm bringin a professional in here to replace the top

with a brand new shiny white one.

It has to be done and done right.

The rag-top on this thing is coming out, killer.

This thing has finally come together.

We just need to double check all the electrical.

I can't wait to show it to Daniel tonight.

Woah.

Which way is it goin?

AAgh!

Uh-oh.

Now what?

The top was working.

And now it seems to be out of sequence.

The trunks won't even close.

They're trying to ...

F ckin thing.

If you get a couple things out of sequence?

It goes to hell.

It has electronic switches.

One has to open.

Trips another one.

Trips another one.

It trips another one.

If somethin's out of line?

It won't work.

Dude, we're trying to figure this beyotch out.

I ain't messin with this.

I do not wanna be responsible for this.

This is not lookin good.

No.

If this convertible top is not working.

I mean I'm screwed.

And I'm not willing to reveal a car unless it's done.

Completely.

I think everybody's bailin.

It's a miserable mess.

We're down to the stressful part of this car.

When the rag-top went on it, somehow the electrical

got screwed up.

There's a dozen different actuators and motors

on this thing.

Now Dan has to rewire it .

This is exactly why I don't work on cars like this.

Keep goin.

Arghh!

Dan's not a happy camper.

Clock's always tickin over here.

Specially when it comes down to crunch time.

That's up, that's up.

So it's that micro-switch.

Hits that limit switch.

It's a thinking game for Dan.

And when he's thinkin, you just stay away from him.

The last ten percent is always the worst.

We've been workin on the last ten percent for like a day.

Pain in the butt.

It's a frustrating game.

You know?

But I know you can do it.

He-he pulls through every time.

One of the motors for the top had a short in it.

Dan had to fix and then resequence

the entire mechanisms.

Keep goin.

Kay, top's comin up.

Help it, help it.

Kay, we got it.

You can open it up.

Yeah, we got it.

Hang on Dan.

Is that gonna hit that...

Nope.

It's barely gonna clear it.

Barely.

Watch yer fingers.

Alright. Hold that.

Dan the man.

Dan the man.

Dan can fix anything.

He got the top workin perfect on this thing.

And that's a major accomplishment.

It's all fixed.

Everybody's happy.

Got everything out of sequence but it's fine now.

It's an old car.

You gotta expect problems.

You know?

It's just the nature of the beast.

Down to the last few details.

You know what?

if I were a car?

This car would be almost as beautiful as I am.

Very happy with the car.

This is a classy rat.

It's a rat in clean clothes.

Got a suit on.

We're gonna go down to Celebrity cars.

We're gonna reveal this thing.

Everybody just work their butts off and

got this thing done.

That's what it takes, teamwork.

We Really went outside our comfort zone on this one.

This is not a typical car that I would

bring in the shop.

It's too nice.

Whoo! Whoo!

Whoo! Yeah.

Ohhhh!

Gotta be f ckin kiddin me.

Whooo!

Whoo.

Yeah, baby.

Big pimpin in this sh t.

Whoo.

Whoo! Yeah!

[laughs].

Whoo! Yeah!

Awwww!

[laughs].

Holy sh t!

It's above and beyond what I could even imagine.

The-the car is just stunning.

This car is unbelievable.

What do you think?

I-I don't know where to begin.

Well, I'll begin with, you look f cking great.

[laughing].

I know dude.

How do you like that sh t?

You look alright too.

Little Miami over there.

[laughs].

The clothing was rad man.

The guys really showed up for the theme of the car.

Oh my God!

No way!

That interior!

That is so f ckin cool dude.

Daniel looked like he wanted to pee his pants.

I mean he's runnin around.

This is -it's - it was awesome.

We took a boring old '65 Lincoln and gave it

personality to match the guy that owns it.

This is so badass.

Th-I love the seats.

They look really good don't they?

It's so cool.

Door handles.

They've got my initials on them.

Some vintage cufflinks on all four doors.

It's a really wonderful touch.

I've never even looked at cufflinks till now.

[laughs].

Did you see the shifter?

Yeah dude.

Why don't we find a really cool shot-glass.

Stick it over the shifter?

This inspired me.

I've got twenty-two inch Daytons on it.

Dayton's with black and white?

Yeah, they weren't free.

[laughs].

See you'd already have me freaked out, cause yer

already touchin too much of it.

Fingerprints all over it and sh t.

[laughs].

That's why I don't do shiny cars.

It totally matches me.

Fits my lifestyle.

And-and honestly the car is just beautiful.

Let's go cruise.

Yeah.

[laughing].

Oh, it's goin up.

Vegas baby!

Whoo. Yeah!

To be behind the wheel of a '65 Lincoln that just got

totally tricked out by Steve I-is...I mean it's a once in

a lifetime experience.

I just absolutely did not like this car at all.

When it got here.

But now I could actually roll this car.

Yeah, he's gangst'a!

Whoooo!

Hey I like your old lady!

Whoooo! Whoa!

Yeah baby.

Whoooo!

How are you guys doin?

Whooo Yeah.

[laughing].

Whoo Yeah Party Nice n' dirty.

Yeah. Whoooo.
