Original subtitles

ddy Gary showed up today.

He's got a '49 Ford.

Does it even run?

It's in rough shape.

Hurry up, dude.

We're gonna get all our, use all our free parts.

I'm hurrying, dude.

I'm just riding.

Got no more CO2.

Can we do a little drift-off for it?

I'll battle ya.

I think Forest is like a top thirteen in the pros right now.

Every time I turn around, you're late on something.

I'm missing something.

You're fired.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa!

Shut it off! Turn it off.

Uh, we're supposed to be done two minutes ago.

It's scary.

Oh, wow!

(laugh)..

�

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 may not ride my bike every day,

but it is kind of a freedom thing.

The quietness that you get and the thoughts that go

through your mind, and the bugs that go

through your teeth is freedom.

I guess my bike's just kind of a cross between a

custom and a rat rod bike.

It's heavily fabricated.

There's - there's some things on it that are pretty

cool and I mean it's, it's got some really bitchin' wheels.

I mean, the thing is neat lookin'.

Dude, that thing is so cool man.

Just like all of his stuff, it's completely Rat Rod.

It's what we call a bober.

It's basically been stripped to bare minimum.

It's-it's cool.

Dude, how am I gonna fit on that?

You're not.

You don't ride on this.

We could put a piece of rubber on the back.

You don't ride it, you don't ride on it.

You don't sit on it.

You stay away from it.

Okay so look, let's clean this up, so it looks nice

in here, before Robin and Gary get in here.

'Cause I don't want it to look like sh�t.

So my buddy Gary, he's got a '49 Ford that his

wife's family's had for like 30 years.

So he's got this app that's called "At the Boulevard".

It'll tell you where all the car shows are at, and the

events that are going on and they want to make a truck for

this that they can drive around and promote their business.

Steve!

Hey!

How ya doin'?

How's it goin'?

I'm Gary, this is Robin.

Hi.

Robin, nice to meet ya.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

Hey, Steve.

What's happenin' buddy?

Good to see you.

Oh, I've known Steve since he was just a little guy.

You know, every time I needed somethin' done, welded.

Ah, manufactured.

Who am I gonna call?

I'm gonna call Steve.

I've did that since he was a kid.

Right on, you brought it.

Well, here she is.

It's a beauty.

That's the old truck ah I was talking to you

about '49 ah, Ford F1.

The Ford truck has been in my family for thirty years.

Been sittin 'in my nephew's backyard not being used.

Just kind of abused.

They made millions of these trucks.

They're just a workhorse.

They were back in the day before they had

four-wheel drives.

And my grandpa had one.

He put stock racks on the back and load horses in it.

These are like a half-ton truck that are probably not

even really a half-ton.

But they made a lot of 'em and the reason why

is because they were tried and true.

So what can we do to this that the rest of the

planet hasn't already done?

Right.

(laughs).

Well, you know, I'd like to do a fuel injection

on the motor if we could.

Okay.

You know, change the stance and what are,

what else do you think?

So we want a little bit of country on the inside.

For me, Ranch.

And a little bit of Hot Rod for him on the outside.

So you wanna like a mullet?

Business in the front, and a party in the back.

There ya have it.

(laugh).

The patina outside's cool.

If you dress that up a little bit more.

Yeah.

I think we can bring out some more of the color in the truck.

I'd like to take that ball off the hood.

And put a cross there, and then with the inside,

country theme with more maybe Christian would be-

would be awesome.

That's cool.

Okay, we can do that.

We'll put some cool stuff in it for him.

And-and uh that way he feels like he's cruising down the

road with the Lord next to him, or whatever, you know?

I think it's a great idea, you know?

You guys are into bikes, right?

Yeah.

Motorcycles, riding?

Yes, Robin rides her own bike.

Yes, I do ride my own bike.

I ride a Harley Davidson Streetglide.

It's black and it's got bling all over it

and we're talkin Swarovski crystals.

The dash is all blinged out.

The derby covers.

I have a full bling helmet.

You can really see me comin' down the road.

Get some ideas from her, and stuff like that,

but I wanna bligh it out from her.

It'll look cool.

Well, of course, I got a budget.

Where we at with this thing?

Lookin' at it from what I'm lookin at it right now,

I mean, all the little things?

You're lookin at probably thirty grand.

Thirty grand?

Wow! Really?

I was thinking thirty, was a little high.

Get him.

Nah.

Get him.

(laugh).

Look at this.

I gotta keep this open, okay?

My budget's around twenty-two, so what can

you work with me on it?

M-my family discount.

Let's just say.

Didn't we see him run around in diapers a little bit?

Well, since you are friends of the family for so long ,

we've done business forever, y'know, hon-honestly?

I could probably do the truck for twenty-five grand.

But when's it gonna be done?

It'll take me ten days to build the truck.

I'm gonna go at it, we don't mess around here.

When we get started, on it, I put the whole team on it.

We order parts and stay on it solid for ten days.

I'll be uh standin' by the phone, on the tenth day.

Do your Welderup magic for us.

We'll weld'er right up.

There ya go.

Alright, you got it.

Thanks.

Thanks hun.

See you later, sweetie.

Thank you ,guys.

Yup.

Tell your dad hi.

Hey.

What's up, man?

What's goin' on?

'49 Ford.

What's the number on it?

Twenty-five thousand.

Twenty-five?

So the Ford truck is one of Steve's family friends.

I hope this doesn't affect the build.

Steve has a big heart.

He's passionate about what he does.

But hey, we gotta make money.

I'm gonna have Justin build the suspension.

Right.

Ourself, in the shop.

We're not gonna paint it.

We're gonna clear it.

Travis and Mackay'll get the bed done.

But it's gonna be cool when it's over.

I mean it's, no doubt.

Yeah, that's cool.

I mean, if you can pull it off, make it, make it work.

I think it'll work out great.

It needs a lot of work and a lot of lovin'.

He's gonna have to get pretty creative on this.

When these clients bring you a vehicle,

you never know what you're getting.

It's kind of like speed-dating.

You don't know what you get till you sit down

and start talkin' to it.

Let me see what we got going here.

First of all, yup!

Another slow, no horsepower flathead.

It's in rough shape.

We don't know if the motor works, we don't know if the

tranny works, we don't know if the clutch works.

We don't know if the rear-end's out of it.

We don't know a lot of things right now.

Based on what I see?

It doesn't have a carburetor.

You know, the water-pump's I'm sure shot on it.

It's scary.

What are we doin?

Are we havin' a meeting or something?

Yeah.

We gotta talk about this truck, man.

We gotta get this thing done.

Let's get the truck tore down today.

Okay?

Get it all tore apart.

You need to, um, once we get it tore down,

take it over and have it sand-blast the frame.

It was already lined up.

Right away so we can get the suspension work done on it.

Does it even run?

He said it ran.

It ran in 1949.

Yeah.

It ran in... in '49 it ran.

Let's put like couple, two barrels on it or something.

That'll...

You know what I mean?

It's not like him and his wife are gonna go drag racin'.

They just wanna maybe pull their bikes for a show and

use it for his, you know...

Just a putt-putt.

Yeah.

So I need you and Twiggy to get that

thing pressure-washed.

That - it's got, it's got red primer.

Somebody tried to primer it with a can, I think.

Blow it all off or...

And it-it's you know it's probably like

twenty-five years old.

Just pressure-wash all that off.

I wanna get down to the...

Base color?

Yeah.

Like what it looked like back in '49.

Alright.

Let's go work on this thing.

Ok, let's do it.

We're gonna lower the truck down.

Get some really cool-lookin' wheels and tires on it.

We're definitely going to have to look for some biker

stuff to go on the interior.

I mean, I'm just gonna have to go out and start pickin'.

The inside of the Ford has got to look like a biker

inside of a country bar.

I mean it's gonna mix up and look good.

Hey, can we have another creeper?

The wheel fell off.

Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.

We are gonna completely take the body off and do

basically a frame off.

It's taking the cab and the truck off the frame.

And just cleanin' it all up.

Repaint it. Rebushing.

Put all new rubber in.

I mean, you know, basically make it fresh.

From the ground up.

Bed's loose!

It's a loose bed.

Grab the forklift and get the motor out.

Take the bed off?

Is there anybody underneath?

Nope.

There's a couple of days of just mechanic work to do on

the motor to get it to run.

Before we even know if the clutch works and

if it goes into gear.

Yeah.

Unfortunate thing is we got a short amount of time and

a short amount of money to build this thing,

so it's ah, gonna be challenging to make it really cool.

You know, I don't know what is up with Dave.

It took him 4 hours to go get the chassis today.

Everybody's standing around the shop looking

for something to do.

About time.

Finally.

Come on.

You couldn't drive a nail in a snowman.

What the hell takes you so long?

What do you guys do?

It wasn't that long.

You know, I send Mackay and Dave out, you know,

and they just goof off.

You know, they get in the truck and start playing music.

You know, they're trying to play songs for each other.

I mean, it's like they're on a date.

Look, we took the frame down and had a media blast, okay?

Dude, we took the frame down and had it media-blasted

a long time ago.

You went to just pick it up.

And, you know, we're building these cars in a

short amount of time.

Like, I mean I'm gonna have this truck done in, like,

8 days from right now.

Two of the biggest guys in the shop to go

get this little frame.

It takes you 4 hours to do it.

And sometimes it's good to just get them both out of

my hair for a minute.

But god, when they come back 4 hours later I'm like,

really?

I mean, I got to get this truck built.

Get it off the frame.

What's this hostility?

Well it takes you... We're waiting on you.

All of us are waiting on you.

So my buddy Gary, he's got a '49 Ford that his

wife's family's had for like 30 years.

Based on what I see, it's in rough shape.

The unfortunate thing is, we got a short amount of time

and short amount of money to build this thing.

It's scary.

Finally.

What the hell takes you so long?

What do you guys do?

It wasn't that long?

Come here.

What?

Listen dude, you can't just keep driving around town all day.

There's no excuse.

Just get here and do it and let's get this job done.

Sorry.

Listen dude, you gotta friggin' pick it up around

here a little bit.

You gotta set an example for some of these people.

I-I know.

Just-just remember who made that friendship bracelet for you?

Okay?

We're in it together.

That's just so horrible.

Get out of my face, dude.

That's terrible.

Go to work.

I worked for my dad for twelve years and

I never missed a day.

I mean, I did wreck on a dirt-bike one time and I

tore my knee up and I missed some days and I think

I sh�t my pants one time too and had to go home.

Other 'n that?

I never missed a day for being sick.

You ready to spray this thing off?

Yes.

Kay.

I'll show you how close to spray it.

I want you to get all the dirt off first- Yeah.

- and then we'll come back and spray it really close.

I'm going to show Twiggy how to use a pressure-washer to

blow some paint off the cab and get down to the

old paint, so it looks nice and pretty.

This isn't just like ah, I know it seems like carwash.

This thing's an angry machine.

Don't let it hit your skin.

Okay.

It'll like tear some skin right off your leg.

I've never had skin torn off cause I'm not a dumbass.

Stay away from the water comin' out of the tip.

Do it all in one direction - Okay.

- as if you were actually painting it, 'cause it just

makes it look smoother instead of like doing

circles and zig zags, 'cause it'll show up.

Okay.

So this thing steams up the water pretty hot, too.

It just helps knock off the paint and all.

All the grease and everything.

(yelps) Wow!

I didn't expect it to have the kind of kick back that it did.

I'm a very light person, so like I fly away with a gust

of wind like Mary Poppins.

It's going to knock you over.

You're too little.

Get a stance.

There you go.

Get it.

Get it, Twiggy. Get it.

It's super-powerful, so there's a distance for

taking off dirt and there's a distance for taking off

uh like paint.

Pressure-washing is actually a lot of fun.

'Cause you feel like a firefighter from Aliens.

Or some...Shw, shw.

We're gonna run over to Abbott's.

Pick up some parts.

Who's Abbott?

Have fun with that.

Anybody in Las Vegas pretty much knows Steve Abbott

that's in the motor world.

Steve's a friend of mine.

It's-it's - just wait till you get there.

So, I'm taking Twiggy on this pick with me today.

It's awesome to take a chick for a wing man.

These guys fall for anything.

Robin and Gary are bike enthusiasts, and you know,

we're going to have to do a biker theme on this truck.

Picking is kind of like Easter egg hunting when

you're a little kid.

Every time you, you're looking around a corner,

you're looking under a rock.

It's like "I got one!"

You know, I mean that's the excitement about picking.

It starts at a young age.

So this is my buddy Steve.

He owns that ATV Cycle Sports.

Uh-huh.

And ah, he's ah, dude, he's crazy.

Here he comes.

Hey!

What's happening?

Hey, Steve-o.

How you doing, my friend?

Comin out to my, my neck of the woods.

This is sick.

Yeah.

I'm glad you like it man.

y-you and ah, who's-who's this?

I'm Twiggy.

Picking is part of the art of putting these cars

together, and sometimes I don't even know what

I'm looking for, but this is a place to come out

and get inspired and find cool stuff.

So what are you looking for?

I know you got bike stuff around here.

I'm looking for chains and sprockets...

Oh yeah, I got lots of that!

And then I need some shocks.

I got lots of that.

You know ,if I need a part for one of my cars here,

or if I know anybody that needs a part?

This is where I come to get it.

She found a chain.

Oh my god.

She found a chain.

Let's see, what can I do with that.

I could probably make...

Throw it back in the car, you don't need it.

No, I - I might need that.

I need a chain.

That was one of our goals.

Yeah.

What do you want for this thing?

I want two hundred and fifty bucks for this one.

Twenty-five bucks for it.

What do you take a zero off of everything you buy?

Yeah, that's what I gotta do to make a profit on this stuff.

Look at that flywheel.

Yup.

Think there's some more coil-overs in here.

Yer, you got coil-overs are?

There we go.

There they are right there.

Yeah, I need some of those, actually.

Yeah, yeah, I got those from Las Vegas Street Rod's years ago.

I don't have a use for 'em.

I shouldn't a told you that.

I'd let those go for...

Twenty bucks.

Done.

Done.

I'll do it.

I'll do it. I'll do it.

What about the flex-plate?

Nope.

Don't need it.

What about the water pump?

No. No.

What - what about that?

What about the starter?

No.

No, we're not...No.

What about the trim?

No. No. No.

What about, what about the moldings.

What about tuber C's.

Oh that - actually wait, lemme look at that.

Molding real quick.

Oh I got something, I got something.

There we go.

Look like I got moldings for a '57.

Just as about the time you start to think you're going

to make a deal on something he's like "hey, hey, Steve,

come here, here I got another, check this one out,

you got to see this one, I got another one."

All this stuff here, and you only came for this?

Well, this is what I need right now.

This is what I want, this is what I need.

Okay, so you will be back.

And I don't really need this but I want it.

Today we were looking for a bunch of, like,

miscellaneous bike stuff, and I found some shocks and

I found a chain.

But we still need some spokes and, like, a bunch of

other bike stuff.

He was clever about bringin' Twiggy out here.

Because she's the reason he got out of here for a

hundred bucks, I'm telling you that straight.

Help me load this sh�t.

Well, thanks so much.

Grab this chest.

I knew that he would have some motorcycle stuff out

here, and I needed a chain and a couple things for the

build that I'm doing.

I still need a lot more stuff,

but this helped me out today.

We wanna play on the flypaper and watch you.

Bzzzzz.

Bzzzzzz!

Aaaa.

'Kay, so listen.

We gotta work on this - the interior on that '49 Ford.

Okay.

Kay, we're doin' all like Westernish, kinda?

But hardcore biker on the inside.

What?

Yeah, it's gonna look like - So like - leather western?

Kinda.

But it's gonna be more biker'd out.

So I want zippers and black leather.

You know, this job's gotta be done and be done right.

I've known these people for over 25 years,

and I want it to look good.

You know I love my cousin Dave.

He's an awesome guy, but I have to do what I have to do.

I have to outsource this job.

He can't handle this, so I'm going to have my buddy

Junior do it, and it'll be done.

Who's doin the interior?

Probably not you.

I can feel that it's very, like, hard on him because

that's, that was his, like, responsibility in the shop,

and you know, now I think he kind of feels a little lost

and that he doesn't really have that role anymore.

I'm just sayin, I'm just gonna throw

it out there right now.

I want the seat done good.

Steve gave my upholstery job to Junior.

Basically, my upholstery wasn't up to par, so he

wants someone else to do it.

They expect more out of this build, I guess.

Steve.

What?

I'm out of gas.

Got no more C02.

The extra tank?

Didn't get filled.

So I don't know what the deal is with Dave.

You know, his job is to walk around this shop and make

sure we have materials.

And what welding shop runs out of gas for their welders?

I just went in a circle, but I don't know where he's at.

I mean, shouldn't he have us like our Argon and -

Yeah, he was supposed to.

- our C02 mix?

Dan needs to ah, get that frame painted.

That thing's gotta be painted by like, tonight.

Yeah, but I don't have any gas and they're all closed.

It's too late in the day.

So my buddy Gary showed up today.

He's got a '49 Ford.

Does it even run?

It's in rough shape.

We don't know if the motor works, we don't know if the

tranny works, we don't know a lot of things right now.

Taking the '49 apart was easy.

(crash).

Travis started working on the, uh, bed.

It's actually going together pretty fast.

Frame got out and got sandblasted, it's back.

Justin's gonna get the fabrication done on it.

Got no more C02.

The extra tank, didn't get filled.

What about the Drifters?

I can hear 'em out there drifting right now.

We could go over and ask them.

Oh yeah, they got yeah, they got a couple of welders over there.

They might have a little bottle of Argon

we could borrow or C02 to finish that.

Yeah I just - I don't need much.

So where are the drifters?

They're out drifting right now.

We got to go over there and check them out.

Yeah, they're right down the street.

Yeah?

Let's go over there and see if we can get some.

Alright.

See you later Dave.

Right now you know, just basically put my upholstery

skills on hiatus and just going to take an opportunity

to do some other stuff for the guys in the shop.

What's up buddy?

Eh, what' up man?

hey, what are you doin?

Lookit you man.

I know.

You got all your tools.

Yeah, so I got l-I got let go let go from

upholstery and I'm gonna be your helper.

Like do you want me to help with you 's thing you got goin,

cause I got some time.

No.

Really?

I'm sorry bro.

Gosh man, alright.

Might wanna go see Mackay though.

Yeah, he wont' let me down.

That's cool.

Alright. Peace out.

Ah dude, that's sick.

What are you doing?

That's like mechanical, huh?

I'm bending a piece of tube.

What are you doin?

Dude, I'm just gonna, I'm here to help.

No.

ah, no, no.

Come on man.

I can help fabricate bro.

No, I'm good thanks though bud.

Thanks.

Hey man, everybody's been tellin me you need some help

and stuff, so I'm here.

We're at my buddy Forrest's.

Get Nuts.

These guys do get nuts out here.

I hear 'em all night.

I used to live in my shop for a year and every night

I could hear 'em out here just rrrrrrw, drifting it up.

I think Forrest is like the top 13 in the pro's right

now I mean this guy's good.

That was sick.

Oh thanks.

Hi.

I'm Twiggy, nice to meet you.

Forrest. Nice to meet you too.

Bring this over to do some drifts?

It's a little top-heavy.

Yeah, I know this one's more for just goin straight.

I-I could try to drift it but I might roll over in the corner.

Oh yeah.

No, really I came over to - just, I ran out of gas.

For my welder.

So I was wonderin' if I could just borrow one

for the night?

I got - I gotta finish this chassis that

I'm doin for a guy.

Do a little drift off for it?

I could do that.

Little battle?

I'll battle you.

I don't think I can compete with that,

with my bucket, but...

I got a missile over there, y'know a bomber car.

You got a couple over there that we could bring over

and drift around.

Yeah he's got a pile that I think I got a pile

of junk in, at my shop.

I'll just slap something together and come over

here and tear it up.

See what we can do.

Thanks brother.

Seeyah in a couple days.

Dude!

What are you doing?

Buildin' a ramp.

In the middle of the shop?

I'm preparing for a stunt.

That looks great.

I bet it'll hold up.

You got this.

Make sure you wear your helmet.

I will.

They're building this great truck and once again,

I don't have a job on it.

So, I'm building a, I'm building a ramp.

I'm ready to take my alter ego, Lightning Legs,

to the next level.

Woooo!

Yeah!

Go Lightening Legs!

Lightening Legs!

I feel like I'm ready for additional jumps.

I'm working towards, I'm working towards

the heights of, of the late great Evil Kneivel.

Oh. Mm. Kay.

Th-they pulled through.

Got the gas so I can finish up weldin' the chassis.

Doin' all the fixes.

Finish the suspension so we can get it painted and

everything can move forward.

Chase 'n Kash are my boys.

These two are me times two.

They're all boy.

I'm so excited to have them here 'cause they are

mini-mes, both of 'em.

Listen, I gotta get that car ready for the Drifters.

Can you guys get that thing runnin' for me?

That pile, that import.

I wanted to put it on the lift and like weld some

stuff up pretty good.

Yeah we gotta fix it.

Can we paint it?

Yeah, paint it.

This is a friend of ours' practice car so all they do

is beat it up and it's pretty much out of service

so we gotta tune it back in, ready to be road worthy.

Hunk of junk!

Think that car's gonna be pretty cool after

our sweet paint job.

Looks good.

Don't paint no more.

We gotta push it.

I needa get it in the garage.

Didn't really help the condition of the car,

but I think it makes it look a lot cooler.

Added about 50 horsepower.

It's solid now.

Well, it should be here in about 5 minutes when

Chase is done welding up that bottom arm.

Looking good.

What is this?

What are we, a circus in here?

I'm sorry, man.

I'll stop.

I kind of feel bad for Barber.

I took his job from him and now he's in here acting

like a five-year-old.

I don't know what I'm going to do with him.

I'm going to go to Harley Davidson right now,

pick up a bunch of sh�t.

Hey, you want me to come with you?

Side, to be a sidekick?

Do you want to go with me?

Uh, I really do.

I wanna hang out, man.

Alright. I don't care if you go.

Dude, I'm really glad you let me come on your pick.

That means a lot to me.

Listen, I don't mind taking you on picks,

just don't ask people dumb questions.

These are my friends.

We are at Red Rock Harley Davidson.

Hey Marky!

I need some help for a minute.

Mark, the guy that's the manager of the store,

is just cool.

I mean, we became really good friends

in the last couple of years.

We did a promotional build.

We built a truck right out here in the parking lot.

Li'l Joe, the car that he made for us was just a car

that everybody used here in the showroom floor.

Kinda asked for advertising.

He put cowboy boots in there for door panels.

And toilet seats for seats.

It actually turned out very good.

I have a list.

I need a cool gas tank, grips.

Pedals.

Pedals.

Cylinder heads. -Got those.

Saddle bags. -Yup.

Front shocks. -Yup.

Rear pipe. Handlebars.

You got all that back there don't ya?

Yup. No problem.

When they do mods on these bikes, they take the stock

parts off and throw 'em in the back.

But it just piles up and I think after a while

they scrap it.

I know where all their little hiding spots are.

It's just pretty much free rain.

There you go.

Take these.

We'll make them in tool boxes on the truck.

Cylinder heads.

Cylinders. No Heads.

What about this cool seat.

You'd look good in that.

Put your chick on the back.

Well, I can ride with you on that one.

Well, that'd be alright.

Dude, you're not riding with me.

Just never.

You're not.

When you were, like, 5 years old, it was cool.

But now, it's not cool no more.

So I'm finding a lot of cool things here like handle

bars, a seat, some shocks.

These are exhaust pipes off a...what?

Probably like a ultra or something.

Bagger bike.

They're cool.

They'd be cool just the tips hangin' out.

Just the tip.

So listen um...

I need some tassels, man.

Can you get me some tassels or what?

Yeah, let me take a look in this other room real quick.

And ah, I'll see if I can find 'em for ya.

Dude, this is sick.

What is this, a Yamasaki?

No dude, this is a Harley, bro.

You always talk about how awesome you are.

You should totally ride this in here.

While Mark's getting you tassels.

You won't do it.

Bullshit, I'll ride it.

I don't know if I should' a just took off on the motorcycle.

I mean how do they get 'em in here?

They must ride 'em or something, so big deal?

Right?

I could get fired.

C'mon, get on.

Let's go for a ride.

Just don't scratch it.

Just don't scratch it.

There ya, aw yeah!

See, you rode before.

Mark don't care.

Mark does care.

I can promise you Mark cares, hurry up dude!

We're going to get all, lose all our free parts!

I'm hurrying!

Dude, I'm just riding.

What are ya doin?

Rachel, what are you doing?

Mark, I'm just going for a ride real quick, I'm sorry.

Back to work.

Sorry.

No jump on, I'll give you a ride back.

Dude, dude, no don't.

Dude, turn it off.

It's cool, dude.

No, it's over. Back to work.

I'm gonna come back here and pick Rachel up.

Take her for a ride.

Can we go in the back and pick that stuff up?

Yeah.

Just get it and go.

Thanks, Mark.

We wouldn't normally give the stuff away for free,

but those guys wore me out today.

And just to have 'em leave, I'm glad to give it for free.

Yeah, totally helps me with the budget.

This truck is super tight.

There's no money to be made on this truck.

Hardly.

Um, so I gotta really pick and find stuff cheap.

And today was a good score.

No leather.

What about the zippers?

Ah shit dude, really?

You don't have that stuff?

What's up?

Junior doesn't have any of the material

I need to get these seats done.

I don't really have time for this sh�t.

Yeah, exactly.

You know, if I don't get this truck right?

I'm never gonna hear the end of it from my dad.

He's known this guy for thirty years.

I mean, I don't wanna look like an idiot.

Dude.

Don't dude me.

So my buddy Gary, he's got a '49 Ford that his

wife's family's had for, like, 30 years.

Based on what I see, it's in rough shape.

The unfortunate thing is, we got a short amount of time,

and a short amount of money to build this thing

No leather?

What about the zippers?

Junior doesn't have any of the material I need to

get these seats done.

I don't really have time for this sh�t.

Yeah, exactly.

Dude - Don't dude me.

They're friends of the family, and if it goes out

looking like crap, that totally reflects on me.

I got an idea.

Yeah?

I got some hookups, believe it or not.

I believe it.

Yeah.

I have like, you know, all this ability to do

upholstery, but Steve just doesn't think that it's good

enough yet, so I'm just working on trying to redeem myself.

Let's go.

So this is Santa Barbara Upholstery Supply.

My buddy Cosme in here.

They're rad.

They're good old Vegas people so they got

everything in here.

Cool.

After you.

Thank you.

This is my good friend Cosme.

He always has everything we need in Vegas.

For Upholstery.

I do.

Hi, nice to meet you.

Pleasure meeting you.

This is Twiggy.

How are you doing Cosme?

It's good to see you, sir.

Um, I know that you have these leather hides here.

Could you show us a couple of 'em?

Sure.

If you got a minute.

You bet.

Alright cool.

Very nice.

Oh, that is nice leather.

Leather.

It's got a nice grain to it.

That's pretty leather jacket-ey.

Yeah, that's actually pretty perfect, to be honest.

Yeah.

K, no questions asked.

We know you'll take care of us.

Let's get it.

Sure.

Give us that hide.

So Cosme, you think you've got some of this in like

a little bit of a wider zipper?

Yes, yes we do have some in the front.

What do we need, like a 2-yard pieces?

Yeah, sure, that'll be fine.

Yeah.

Okay.

Thank you.

Yeah, Cosme, thanks for making me feel like a

professional, because everybody over at the shop

makes me feel like I kind of suck.

But he doesn't suck.

He's awesome.

How long you been in the upholstery business, man?

Here, 30 years.

30 years!

30 years.

Geez.

With, it feels like you're dealing with family

when we come in here, so we appreciate it.

We glad to have you guys.

Oh, well thank you so much.

Anytime.

See ya, man.

I knew I would redeem myself in Welderup Land.

I came through where others couldn't, and I know now

that I am gonna get a better position at

Welderup's next build.

Guaranteed.

Alright Twiggy, c'mon.

I'm gonna show you how to do this.

Okay.

Any of the dirty spots in the cowlick in here?

This all, this all this has to be cleaned.

Justin and Twiggy pressure-washed all the old

paint off it and then we brought it in here and

we're just kind of scotch-brightening it.

Getting it all laid out.

Making sure there's no rough edges.

You wanna clear it.

Yep.

It has to be flat.

Okay. -Okay?

Yeah. -Alright.

Hardest thing about an apprenticeship is,

is finding somebody that will actually sit down

and teach you.

I didn't really know what to expect coming here.

You do learn, like, just by -

by being in the environment, obviously.

I mean, but I did a lot of sanding.

Lotta sanding.

There's a lot of sanding.

Forrest did me a favor the other day by giving me some CO2.

We agreed to drift it off.

This is our, this is the ride we're

goin up against right here?

My boys have been working on the car, I'm ready.

What do ya think?

C'mon broth'a.

How ya doin, buddy?

Pretty good.

What's up dude?

What's the rules?

You're the guy that's in charge of the rules.

Four laps, four laps.

Four laps.

You lead the first two.

He leads the second two.

Once the competition starts, it's a head-to-head

battle with 2 cars.

The best guy out of the four laps, the best drift,

the best style, is the winner.

And basically it's a game of cat and mouse.

They're chasin' each other, and the first guy,

he's trying to shake the second guy.

And this guy has to - he has to do everything that this

guy's doin' perfectly.

What's my handicap?

I should be able to get a handicap.

(laughs) Oh.

Forrest's real car would have just destroyed

our little Welderup smash n'bash car.

So he was, you know, gracious enough to bring a

sh�tbox of his own, so that means we have a fighting chance.

Oh!

Yeah!

There we go.

My preferred position is naturally to

have Forrest behind me.

I-I can't have him in my way.

[Cheers and hollers, claps] Yeah!

I bumped him a few times and he did well.

He held his composure.

And we-we maintained drift.

Whoo!

Yeah!

I think I killed it.

Yup.

Good race.

Lots of smoke.

Well, to be fair with you guys, I got three of the

Welderup crew guys.

And three of the Get Nuts crew guys to judge you guys

Aw, really?

Yup.

You give 'em scores, you average it at the end.

Whoever's got the highest score?

They win.

Forrest, what's Forrest's score?

I think that one's a six.

Turn it over, those are sixes.

You know the judging was wrong.

I think the sixes were nines and nines were sixes.

And you know, I just -

I think I got shafted on that deal.

C'mon, let's see it.

Awww!

Steve did really well.

I was actually surprised.

He was hanging.

Really?

No love!

This was a great time to, to blow off some steam,

get out of the shop.

I mean, you need to do this once in awhile.

It really changes the way you feel.

I'm out 50 bucks?

Yeah.

We'll just make it 50 today.

It'll give us the energy in the shop.

Everybody'll be talking about it.

It's good.

(claps).

It was worth it.

That was fun.

Let's do this again soon.

Good luck.

I gotta go back to work.

Thanks, dude.

Appreciate it.

Ah, well we clear-coated the truck early this morning.

It's not halfway cool outside.

Clearing it stops the aging process.

Clear coat's not really a traditional Rat Rod thing,

but it's becoming more popular.

For the fact that you can actually get in the truck

and drive it somewhere without getting out lookin'

like you've been workin on it.

Listen.

This, right here?

I needed it to be done before the clear-coat went on.

I know that.

They know I've got this massive logo I've been doin

on the side of the door.

Totally knocks my airbrush completely out cause

I'm water-based.

So I can't go over top of a clear.

Don't know why yer yellin at me.

Yell at Dan.

He's senile and has Alzheimer's.

Nobody told us about this 'till the last minute.

No, I told him.

I told him Travis has to paint on there and he was

like, "oh yeah okay".

Well he was eatin his cup of Jell-O.

And then - Takin his geritol?

Yeah, and then he totally just was like

pshhhpshhpshhh.

Look at him. He's lost.

He doesn't know what's he"s doin' over there.

I know. Cranky old man.

Put us back behind again.

Dan.

The glass for the truck should've been here yesterday.

I gave the template to Dan over a week ago.

Because it takes these glass guys at least a week

to get it ready.

Dave.

'Sup?

Dude, did you order my glass?

I don't have the specs yet, dude.

We give it to Dave and he screws it up.

Why haven't you given me the specs?

There's no templates.

You've had it for a week.

I don't have 'em.

Bullsh�t, we did 'em a week ago.

You know what?

He's had a few days to figure out that he needed

it and he never told me.

You may have done 'em, but I don't have 'em.

Well, that's your job to pick 'em up.

You know, I don't know what I'm gonna do with this guy.

You know what, dude?

I'm sick of this sh�t.

Every time I turn around, you're late on something.

I'm missin' something.

I got no gas for my welders.

What are you doin' around here?

If I don't have my glass by tomorrow, you're fired.

I'm sick of this sh�t.

We're delivering this truck tomorrow, and if I

can't get this engine started, I'm screwed.

So, I think the main thing for today is get the

truck running, driving.

Get all lights, everything we can.

Comfortably, it would take at least another week to do

what these guys are doing.

'Kay, alright, well let's get to work.

C'mon.

Let's do it.

Sometimes in life you get an 'A'.

and sometimes you get an 'A+' I got the plus when

I followed through with the leather for the seats.

I'm basically the hero of the build.

Yeah, test her out.

Ahhhh.

Ok, so I'm actually impressed.

He came through.

He got the material I needed for Junior and he took

care of the problem for me.

I shouldn't be so damn hard on him.

So what do you think?

Did a good job?

Yeah.

All new foam.

He said, these zippers were a little bit of a pain.

But he got it done.

The night before I'm getting ready to airbrush this logo

on this guys truck "At the Boulevard", this is this

guys logo for his business, and this happens all the

time, somebody gets ahead of somebody else and

they clear coated the truck.

It totally knocks my airbrush completely out

'cause I'm water-based, so I can't go over the top of a

clear without sanding half the door down and starting

over, so we had to hurry up and cut a, a new reverse

negative and try and hand paint the whole thing over

the top of the clear coat with another type of paint.

So I had to grab Mackay and him and I busted

it out as fast as we could.

Whoa!

We'll come back by hand, and...

If I didn't get the glass

overnight, I would not want to face Steve.

He would've been a monster.

Oh, we got the glass for the truck.

I dodged a bullet with Steve on this one.

I love this stuff.

I just love this sh�t!

Alright, so I shouldn't be so hard on Dave.

He's followed through, and he made it work.

Typical style.

We haven't fired the motor up yet.

(sighs) So that always is a, I hope nothing goes wrong.

Uh, we're just putting the finishing touches on it.

Uh, a lot of little bitty stuff, but uh, we feel good.

It looks good.

It looks like it'll run, so.

Don't flood it!

Uh, we're supposed to be done...two minutes ago.

We just tried to start it.

Started.

Ran good for a minute, but uh, need a little tweaking

on that carburetor, 'cause it's spraying fuel everywhere.

Run, Steve!

I like the way it sounds.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa!

Shut her off!

Got the wrong fuel pump.

I don't know who did it.

It's for a fuel injection, so we're pushing like 95

pounds of pressure into the, the carburetors.

Took me like 4 gallons of gas pumped into the motor,

so if we start it, it's gonna grenade, blow the

whole truck up, and it's just gonna ruin everything.

We got the wrong fuel pump.

I don't know who did it.

It's for a fuel injection, so we're pushing like 95

pounds of pressure into the, the carburetors.

If we start it, it's gonna grenade, blow the whole

truck up, and it's just gonna ruin everything.

It should run.

If it don't run, then we'll have to tow it.

Well, when I had it on the stand, I had a very small

fuel pump on it that only pumped maybe 3 or

4 pounds of pressure.

Well, when we put it in the truck, we used up bigger,

higher volume fuel pump.

And that's what created the problem.

Definitely, the pressure is on.

Hopefully this'll take care of the problem.

I'm putting a fuel pressure regulator on it.

So, to keep that from happening again, but I'm

just not sure how much fuel went into the motor, so -

That's the baby right there.

Is it still running?

We're good.

It ain't spewing yet.

We're headin up to uh Pioneer Saloon in Good Springs.

It's kind of a biker bar.

It's a been there for like a hundred years or something.

It's kinda where all the bikers and car clubs and

stuff, they go out there and hang out on the weekends.

Yeah!

And this is gonna be a good place to reveal this truck.

Oh, I hear it.

Are you ready?

Yeah.

I'm shaking.

It's hot rod kinda on the outside and on the inside it

kind of gives that biker bar, I mean it's just cool.

My goodness, oh my goodness.

Oh there's Steve.

Oh no!

Oh my gosh!

Seeing it roll up towards us?

Unbelievable.

It's off the fricking charts, I'm telling ya.

I mean, I really cried.

You can't believe, just seeing it on the road, my

family won't even believe that it's running, let alone

what it looks like.

It's so beautiful!

How is it?

Oh!

You like that, huh?

Thank - You like?

Yes!

Well come on, let's show you some stuff.

Okay.

The first thing that popped out when it came around

the corner was the color.

Can we touch?

Yeah.

Whoo!

It's all glossy.

Oh my, oh my family's gonna be SO happy.

That's your boulevard on there.

That's perfect.

Look at these door panels.

Oh, wow! !

(laugh).

Oh my God - oh, look at my name - my name.

Actually, my name should be on that side.

I know.

We got a screaming eagle head down there for your shifter.

For the shifter?

Oh - Oh, God.

Oh, wow.

This is so way beyond, way beyond beautiful.

Look at the box for the stereo right there.

Look at that, with the chain coming down?

Oh.

It's just beautiful.

See all the turquoise in the centre of your steering wheel?

Wow.

The bling, and uh, the turquoise.

I mean, it's just beautiful.

Does anyone have a tissue?

(laughs).

I got a shirt!

Oh, that is so hot.

See it looks like a biker seat?

Gosh!

We put you a little cooler back here, see the bed?

Oh look.

(laughs) That is wicked.

There's your little tool box.

Some saddle bags.

(laughs) Man!

Looks cool, huh?

Yeah.

(laugh).

Look at the pipes!

That's a Red Rock Harley Davidson.

Found those.

They're the same pipes I have on my motorcycle.

Just stuffed a big ole fat tire,

give it the hot rod look.

Wow, look at that, man.

Whoo!

Looks like you're actually cruising the boulevard.

Look at the color.

Thank you, guys.

Oh, yeah, thank you!

Awesome!

You wanna go for a ride down the block?

Sure.

Alright.

Jump in.

I'm gonna yeah!

Yeah! Yeah!

Alright!

Yeah, come on, Big Block!

I mean, we pulled off on our little drive, driving around.

She just goes off.

I -I miss the sound of that transmission.

My dad is sitting in the front seat with us right now

I'm like starting to get teary-eyed.

Started getting a little emotional about that.

And I mean, that's where you know you hit home.

And I brought back some old memories for her and

I think she's super proud.

You know what?

This, right now, officially, is the furthest I drove it.
