A team of five people with mechanical, fabricating, or modifying expertise was assembled to modify a vehicle into a "monster machine."

01x04 - Switchblade

Post by bunniefuu »

Hello, everybody, it's a beautiful

day here in Indio, California.

It's 65 degrees, and the wind is coming

out of the southwest at 6 miles per hour.

The conditions are near perfect.

So sit the kids down, tie up the dog.

Grab your favorite beverage.

The next monster garage challenge

is just around the back.

Join us now as Jesse James in his g*ng of

fabric mechanics, rip, grind, and burn.

Transforming ordinary street vehicles into

monster machines in the monster garage.

This week's challenge, take

a 1994 Mustang GT5-liter

convertible and transform it into

the world's fastest lawnmower.

The rules, when completed, the monster

machine must appear to be stock.

The team can spend no more than

$3,000 in hard cash for parts.

Jesse and his team have seven days in

nights to design, build and race the car.

If the team is successful, they will each

be awarded a Mac tool

kit valued at $3,400.

And the clock starts now, day one.

Before a monster is born,

it must be conceived.

Jesse James arrives with

his design team, artists,

engineers and specialists

from across the US.

But Jesse didn't tell his g*ng

what they'd be starting with.

It's cute, huh?

What are we going to do with this now?

It's going to be a mower.

A must-ang mower.

A must-ang mower.

A stock-1990 Mustang GT convertible

with a 200 horsepower motor capable

of speeds in excess of 130 miles per

hour is a good machine to begin with.

But making it cut grass at high speed

will take some monster modifications.

So the design team ascends to the

w*r room to coordinate their attack.

I just want to see

everybody's head collect

this when they see us

roll us out on my god.

Jesse James, a direct descendant

of the legendary outlaw,

is one of the premier motorcycle

builders in the world.

He's built one of a kind bikes for

some very high profile customers.

For Jesse, bike building

is a labor of love.

But why did he take on this

challenge of turning a stock

Mustang into a ground pounding,

sod slashing steel rocket?

I think it's just the

smart, wise thing to do.

We're going to take something that's

pretty non-threatening, generally accepted.

Everybody likes it and make it

something that's going to scare people.

When I thought as we

could just sit here and

just get conceptual,

all right, we got a car.

Mike Desmond was chosen for the

team because of his talents as a

designer for Mitsubishi Motors and

his strong desire to break the rules.

I think everything is over-designed.

I think I think with this project

we're going back to basics.

But for these guys, what

does back to basics mean?

I want a mind to be a half-track Mustang.

A half-track concept is

k*ller with calendar.

Keep throwing ideas out.

It should be like that off-screen

aircraft, which is like they flip out.

Deep in the heart of the

south is Locus Grove, Georgia.

There, Jesse recruited

Bobby Cleveland, head

engineer for the Snapper

lawnmower company.

Bobby's also the number one

lawnmower racer in America.

I've been around a lot of lawnmowers, but

I've never imagined anything like this.

Perfect lawn cutter is when the

grain is just as pretty as corn.

Well, this machine, on

the other hand, is you'd

be lucky to have a lawn

left when you get through.

Hopefully nobody gets their toes cut off.

What about using something like

on the front of a con button?

It's the big wheel like the reapers?

George Bears is a 40-year veteran

of the automotive service industry.

He's blown in from Stuart Florida.

The team that I'm working

with, well, they've

got visions that I've never seen before,

and trying to find the pieces that go

with it's going to be even crazier.

Let's just make it explode.

Given enough time and money,

these designs could be built,

but the rules of the

game must be abided by.

We need to make this car look

like a completely stock Mustang.

I think it in a week,

you know, if you get

tricked, but we can't,

like, outtrick ourselves.

Do you think it would

be actually easier to

come straight out of the truck backwards?

So you pull it back?

It gets closer to the ground.

The delta type is, would be big

enough, probably fit in there.

Well, you got your blade to here.

He got three blades.

Right.

And that could fold into the trunk.

That's what I started.

And that could be, instead

of doing some robotics,

that could be a lever actually.

The rear deck will mow down the

middle, but what about the sides?

You know, you might have to make

it where you get slung to go open,

and then you just pull the lever and

this just pop down to the ground.

I was thinking, calling

it the switch blade.

Definitely doesn't matter

if it's safe or not.

You know, if it's not to me, you'd

have yellow stickers all over it.

It all looks good on

paper, but will it work?

This is a piece of sh*t.

I found change.

What if we don't take it?

I think we should put a full

throttle knife or switch on it.

Five liters, you could

pump up pretty good.

Swingy hit full throttle, kicks

in like an extra 200 horsepower.

You know, it only opens

about 70 degrees, so.

We're going to drop a pin

in the hinge, big pin.

To lock those doors forward,

we're going to rip this panel out.

Here's all this extra space

that we could cut out.

And we're going to run an old rear motor,

polished, deadly sharp.

I'm thinking if I'm a halfway

intelligent person golfing.

And I see a five liter Mustang

coming with straight pipes.

A chrome lawnmower's coming out the side.

I'm going to let him play through.

We got it roughed out.

Now we actually have a

half-a*s achievable plan.

The 11 hours, 23 sketches

and 51 pencil points later.

The design day is over.

Day two, enter the build crew.

For this task, Jesse is

brought together only the best.

Billy Lane is a rebel motorcycle

designer from Melbourne, Florida.

When I got out of college, I had this

great job lined up to work at NASA,

making it over 50,000 a year.

And I didn't want the job, I decided

I want to be a grease monkey.

It's a little motorcycle.

My contraris of Hermosa Beach,

California is an oil rig rough neck.

We build the whole oil rig completely

from all the rails and everything else.

All the way down to the top drive

that actually spans the bit.

Carol Hyge, wrenches on classic English

cars in her hometown

of Seattle, Washington.

I mean, anything involving sending

sparks sh**ting and melting metal.

It's great.

Bill died just from

Long Beach, California.

He is a master mechanic who builds

high-end motorcycles for Jesse James.

All my life, I've been

different than everybody else.

If they say I won't

work, it's got to work.

This team must build the Mustang

Motor in five days and five nights.

They will work, eat, and even sleep

here if necessary to get the job done.

You don't need this anymore, doing?

Day two, the build crew goes to work.

It's time to gut the beast.

All non-essential parts must go.

The first operation is to remove

and relocate the 20 gallon gas tank.

Will you want to use this gas tank?

We can just relocate.

Take the gas tank out,

cut the exhaust off.

Are you going to catch you on the falls?

It's heavy.

It's heavy.

Take it on the fuel filler.

Is this cast up somewhere in your face?

The fumes are making me dizzy.

Let's get this protective

shield out of here.

Let's try to save this lead

for that fuel pump thing.

And we can just run it straight

up to the back of the seat.

There's one more line right here.

I can't film my legs.

I got this head.

Don't let that side get

lower than this head.

We'll put it right in the head.

Got to keep that in higher.

I don't know.

I don't know.

Oh, gas on my neck.

Oh, hey, don't fit.

What's the termination

we're supposed to do?

Okay.

I didn't know that.

I didn't know that.

I didn't know that.

There.

That works.

Could've got this thing right here.

That's support.

Oh, where are you there?

Where am I?

Right there.

Wait, hang on.

Make sure it has a leg room.

Let's check.

Dude, what Dr. Barley makes

your pickles out of this?

The team is rocking and George is

trying his best to stay ahead of them.

This is why I am suffering

from absolute frustration.

But as the clock turns, the only

thing turning is his stomach.

We've been searching for pieces

for the deck and for the reels.

And we found what we wanted.

We even spent considerable

amount of money to have those

Frated from Atlanta.

Snapper designer Bobby

Cleveland has found a Delta deck

collecting dust in a Georgia warehouse.

But they're supposed to be here.

Not here.

So now we're trying to chase him down.

Get him here.

The gas tank has been

moved to the backseat.

Now the fuel line must be rerouted.

Here comes some gas, sit.

What are your safety glasses, woman?

Sure, I'll stop for

the light to secure it.

We'll tie that back up and then

we'll run the fuel lines in there

to the gas tank and

we'll be doing just fine.

Next in line for the monster

mechanics is the exhaust system.

All right.

Let's get the plasma cutter over here.

Where's that plasma cutter?

Let's cut this exhaust out of the lift.

We're going to need all this

space from the rear end back.

We'll just put side pipes

out of it or something.

If we cut them here,

it's probably going to be

the place you're going

to be able to get around.

For this job, Jesse grabs the

ultimate shot tool, the plasma cutter.

It uses electrically charged super

heated gas to slice through steel

like a hot knife through butter.

The gas tank relocated and the gas lines

repositioned will the

monster come to life.

We're going to try to fire it up.

We're not going to blow up.

How do you know what it looks like?

Hey, you know what?

It worked out well.

I do back there.

Maybe stick around for that.

Got that little test slide over there.

There's that one.

What?

If that's all it is.

It's reset.

That's when you get in the wreck.

It's set.

Let's see.

Okay, now as you see, we got it fired up.

Everything's good.

We're in.

That was the hardest

part of the whole job.

The rest is fun.

Today was a good assessment day.

We actually got it.

We actually accomplished a

lot by taking all the stuff.

We needed out of the

trunk, which is we gained

a lot more space than

I thought we'd have.

And then relocated the gas tank

where the back seat used to be.

And then rerouted all

the fuel lines and fuel

injection and fuel pump

stuff back there too.

So it's a running car again.

The Mustang will move.

But will it move?

Don't go against it.

Watch the garage.

We'll be right back.

Day three was to begin with the installation

of the giant Delta Mallard deck.

But it's missing in action

somewhere between L.A.

and Locus Grove, Georgia.

Like a train.

Real lowers.

Are you going to go break them up?

Run over to the ER and

grab some CEO training.

So the crew takes their meager

budget in search of major parts.

Caroleville and Jesse

had to Jesse Shopping

is met Black 54 chopped

in channeled Chevy.

Their mission scrounge some

2 by 2 inch metal tubing.

Who is that? Who is that?

George Billy and Mike

go looking for two push

-type mowers, which will

drop down from the doors.

The real mowers were a

strict cash outlayer.

That's getting all hot.

Very winter to go just

about everywhere, Tom.

We picked up two 18 inch wheels.

I don't know how you're

going to break it to this.

Carole tears out the door panels

to make room for the push mowers.

Right now these old fashioned

machines appear to be just the ticket.

But in the near future,

these simple mowers

are going to complicate everyone's life.

Easy muscles.

You can wear that up to a club.

When does God?

I just go in as far as you can.

I mean, I know it's not

going to go in flush.

I would start off better than to sneak

up on it instead of cut too much.

We have to start off right here, baby.

I actually like to make it.

That's pretty heavy, do you?

Well, the others chow down.

George is still chasing the big blade.

Okay, it's going to be here

delivered by here by three o'clock.

The ace mechanics take

a break and talk about

what triggered their

gear head chromosomes.

I always tell everybody, I

was really good at legos.

I just have that ability

to take a bunch of little

pieces and start visualizing

and start making it.

I remember when I was

a kid sitting inside

the garage and my dad

would be working stuff.

So I spent a lot of time with pops,

you know, just getting involved.

I guess growing up with brothers

used to lean around guys.

I worked on cars and

motorcycles all my life.

I wasn't really rich.

I couldn't really afford to pay.

Pay to have somebody fix

themselves and it fix my own stuff.

It's 4 o'clock and George

is really under the g*n.

If the deck doesn't arrive within

an hour, another day is lost.

Jim, do you have a telephone number

where I can reach the people here in LA?

Unbelievable.

The world hates me.

Finally, at 10 minutes

to five, the 48 inch

tree-bladed Delta style

mowing deck arrives.

Great news for the team, but a lot of

time was lost waiting for the part.

This will give us a perfect

place to mount that mower.

Let's measure that thing right

now and see if it will fit.

We're going to just waist it up

under there to see how big it is.

You're going to take a set it on the

back of there to see what it looks like.

Look at that.

How's that look from back there, George?

Can you see it that much?

Not really.

You can see the wheels

in the basic part of it.

You can lose the spirit.

If you'd like it, it would look just

like part of the body and frame.

Oh, work.

It's perfect.

You got to keep the line though.

I got there, Carl.

I got it.

What would you probably do?

Let's take some cardboard.

And some tape.

Let's make a chipboard.

Just a rectangle of the size of this.

That way we're not having to lug

this big heavy thing up in there.

We'll put it up there.

We'll figure out our dimensions of

the swivel to get it up and back.

Then we're done.

We can hold it right up here and whack

all this stuff out where we don't need it.

More in.

More out.

At the end of a 14 hour frustrating

day, the team wants to call it quits.

I found a perfect molar

attachment for the front.

Where is it?

But there's no quits in Jesse James.

Cute.

And I like this little guy right here.

Oh, damn.

What's your name?

Huh?

You think you're better

and lower than us, huh?

Yes.

This is a little bit.

Hey, everybody, big swag here.

Now it's time to check

out the competition.

We're just meant away from finding out if

Jesse's power pony can

really eat up the turf.

Day four.

Work has begun on the door reels

and the rear deck has arrived.

But the team is a long way from the door.

Hey, careful.

Scratch-pain.

You passed that one?

No.

We got that one.

We got that one. Door stopped down.

So the door opened all the way to 90.

There it is.

There it is.

That's a 90.

That's a 90.

The more mechanism looks good on paper.

But how's it really going to work?

We'll just pivot it out here.

So please write that

bar come out like this.

That way it can come out when it goes up.

Yeah, it's like that

and then it slides down.

That can be done.

Easy.

You'll see that it's not

quite that easy because

that ball would have to

melt like right here.

And then you can't pivot this up.

How about if we put it on the axle?

Do you know how about we take

the wheel off and then do it?

This swing's on.

Put a pin in the axle.

If it's here, if it's here.

And then it swings up.

And then what would happen is it would

actually want to be the door upside down.

This.

And then you clear this.

And then drop.

Yeah. And you have plenty of

room because it's up iron.

We'll have to see.

Yeah.

We're going to be able to.

Billy seems to have come up with a

suspension design that might work.

The door ones, I think, are

going to actually be harder.

And then the rear because the

rear is just dropping straight on.

It's basically on a track.

Yeah.

And my kids were telling this friend

of mine, hey, we have a computer.

We have a computer.

My friend Dom said, well, that's cool.

Do you guys know how to use any tools?

There's always going to be a need for people

who can make something out of nothing.

When I was in engineering school, there

was kids in the classes who were brilliant.

When it came to doing a math problem.

But if you ask them to apply

it, what do you mean apply it?

We got our rims.

It was done in traditional

compassion too.

We already had these picked

out before we even knew

what the hell we were

going to do with the car.

A guy do a lot of business with

the son owns L.A. wire wheels.

And so he hooks me up

whenever I need something.

And then he's ready for everything.

For you, baby.

No, no.

Thank you, car candy green.

The green is for the money.

The gold is for the honey.

Green for the money.

Gold for the honey.

Bill and Billy fabricated a

bracket to mount the 10 horsepower

Biggs and Stratten

motor on the Delta deck.

With the tank gone, there's enough

room for the 48 inch motor deck.

But not enough for the motor, so

Jesse cuts out the trunk's floor.

Monster garage mantra.

When Brains fail, brute

strength prevails.

The deck should fit

almost tight against here.

The brackets will come out on here.

It's going to hang down probably

an inch and a half or so in here.

Meanwhile, Roughneck Mike fabricates a

lightweight replica of the 200 pound more.

It's going to be a 3D

template, so we can find

out just exactly how much

clearance we do have.

That way we can find out exactly

what we need to cut or what we don't.

Nothing in theory should

go right up in there.

Just like that.

We actually got way more

clearance than I thought we had.

We'll probably have to do some

mounts off the stamped frame rails.

I'm going to start working on the

patterns for this bracket and back.

So we'll do a little engineering.

So basically we need a bracket.

This sits in here and ten inches down.

Tell it, which clicks out.

The mower will travel down on steel

tracks into a cutting position.

From half inch steel, Jesse begins

to fabricate the mower track plates.

We're going to give it like inch and a

half holes to give it a little clearance.

Jesse uses a drill press

and a band saw to create

the slots for the mower

to move up and down.

He also turns skateboard

wheels, which will be

attached to the mower and

travel in the slotted tracks.

We're going to try to

run this thing today

on the floor before we

put it up in the car.

But even master mechanics are subject to

Murphy's law and anything

that can go wrong will.

It's not.

How come it's not?

Part of the problem maybe because

the motor is not grounded.

So this is the start.

That's it.

Okay.

How is it k*lling this battery?

This battery starts the frigging car

and these wires are getting really hot.

Something's up with that

start because this battery's

plenty start strong enough

to start up that V8.

Start engine outdoors.

Wait until any spilled fuel evaporates.

That's what we got.

I knew she would find

that part of the manual.

Being as we don't have a

starter repair shop for

ten horsepower motors will

be full starting this.

Let me try to be this model man.

Oh, come on, I had it going.

That world's actually

not left for you now.

Yeah, I like that.

I know.

Yeah, obviously it starts at

runs as far as this project.

We have bigger picture

to fry than that starter.

We can pull start right now.

It runs.

I think we should move on somehow.

Push it up.

All right.

Let's set this bumper back on here so we

can see how far back it could actually go.

Jesse went to machine some parts for the

rails to actually hold

this thing in place.

Oh, you're done with those?

Yeah.

You, you.

Hey, look at that.

See skateboard view

action speed bearings.

Let's raise that up and hold

these up there real quick.

Let me take this off.

All right.

All we got to do is make a bracket.

It's like a tee that holds

two of these right up here.

Probably spread them out

like six or eight inches.

That should keep more than keep

it from rocking back and forth.

Yeah, sure.

I mean, we're going to rock or nothing.

I mean, that's going to be strong.

We're going to weld this

right to the frame rails.

The team will weld brackets to the

mower wheels attached to the brackets.

And the whole assembly fits

into this lot of tracks.

Jesse spot wells the mower

tracks to the Mustang's frame.

I should be stuck.

How's it, is it?

Yeah.

Yes, cool.

If we make an L bracket

off the frame, then

it won't keep it from

shimmy inside the side.

Why don't you make the brackets

with the wheels on and facing out.

We'll put the plates on it and tack

the plates on there in position.

So they're held there and then

hold it up there and tack it.

We're almost ready to mow.

As we're tightening the bolts,

it's pushing the bearings into.

We're going to need

to put it in a washer.

So we're going to have to shorten

that by just to hear that moment.

Yeah.

You know, we originally were talking

about it in the design phase.

I thought it was going to work like crap.

You know, it's kind of going

to be a joke alarm alarm.

I think it's actually

going to really mow grass.

Monster garage factoid.

A square foot of lawn has

3,000 blades of grass.

And a single grass plant

has 387 miles of root.

Day five begins on a bad note.

The giant mower deck goes

up, but not far enough.

So this is the size it's going to go.

Well, we got more travel.

We could angle this up more.

So the size out. I mean, put

this. So the size out farther.

We're just going to adjust this bracket.

That's why we just tacked this temporary.

So we could test the travel of it.

So now we got to raise this

up about 3 inches or so.

So it has more room to go up higher.

The more motor needs more clearance.

That cut is a direct

indication of how tired I am.

I don't even drink.

The delta deck will be

pulled up and down by

a steel cable threaded

through the rear wall

and attached to a winch.

Bill has figured out

how to lower and raise

the mower deck by

installing a small winch

in the back seat.

We don't need to go through reverse.

I got to hook up a double switch, maybe.

The parts budget of $3

,000 is almost maxed out.

But the winch was an old used winch day.

I don't know what was

laying around my shop.

I don't even know where it came from.

I ran just some tubing.

Just be tested on there.

But it'll pull and retract.

We got to wire it up yet.

We should pull the mower

up about another 2 inches.

Bill's a bit one click.

All right.

Let's do that again.

There's a line.

You're prying it.

It's so far.

The plastic wheels seize up

causing the winch to overheat.

Another second back.

You're stuck?

Yeah.

We're going to make some

different wheels with

some bigger either 5,

6, 6, or 1,5 inch bolts.

The skateboard wheels didn't work.

Take those in the shop tomorrow.

We'll machine some out of some steel.

Just a little bit.

We got to finish well everything

and Gus did so strong.

Make some new wheels because you can see.

It's tearing a hell out of wheels.

Those are hard skateboard wheels.

They work enough to carry my fat.

But not for the big giant lawn mower.

A new starter for the

mower motor arrives.

Here's the bad one.

And there's the good one.

It's time to fire up

the mighty Delta deck.

That's the new one.

But amazingly, this

one has burned out too.

Same deal.

That's time to stop.

Pretty much ready to go home.

Are good.

Day 5 ends in disaster.

The mower deck didn't go up high enough.

The winch almost burned out.

This gate wheels ate it.

The second starter motor failed.

Day 5 was a complete bust.

And there's only one

more build day to go.

Day 6, the final day of building.

With only a few hours sleep,

the crew is back to work.

Late last night, Bill made some custom

steel wheels while the other slouch.

Custom made.

The wheels are in.

What will they support

the 200 pound deck?

They're ready?

Yeah.

Go ahead, though.

All right.

There is a reverse.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Now the winch is able to

pull up and drop the mower.

This is the third starter.

Will it finally fire?

The delta deck is awesome,

but the door mowers are still not cut.

The doors, the doors.

If it doesn't do 100

miles an hour of mowing,

then we didn't do our

job with some failure.

You know, if we do something that

the flops out, it's going to be,

when you hit stuff, it's

going to, it's a broken joint,

but if we do something that

slides straight down, it's locked.

Since we got the patterns for the

wheels and everything already,

we'll put a track at that.

The real mower will be like this.

You'll drop down to ground level.

With the bearing on it, it'll bottom out.

We'll make it so bottoms out.

Have a dual thing, so

it doesn't tilt back.

And this will go up and suck it up.

So it's below the bottom

level of the door.

We're going to have to come in here.

Cut all this stuff out.

And take some of that one by one tubing.

And basically build a

whole box structure.

So it'll be nice and strong.

Tie it into the inside where

the hedges are spot welded.

So it's going to weld it right to then.

Sometimes it's easy

to out-trick ourselves

and make something

that's over-complicated.

And you're something to be said about

just having it straight down straight up.

Jesse's new idea is simpler,

but it's very late in the game.

And the crew has only 10 hours left.

George has priced motor

driven door reels,

but at $2,400 a piece,

they're out of the question.

A decision is made.

The door mowers will be strictly

ornamental, a major setback.

On this final day, the team must build

the new door mechanisms from scratch.

They've also decided to add a flame throwing

exhaust system to try and save face.

The budget is blown, so George scavenges

a couple of more reels from a junkyard.

We did it.

This kick out should

give it enough clearance,

and it shouldn't slide

out on the slide angle.

The motor.

Once the motor is gone, we turn on the

spark or just pump it and make all that gas.

This hasn't burned up, it'll

sh**t up and back here.

Let's see how it goes.

They're trying to pull up, they know.

Yeah!

5 cooling days are over.

Cash for parts, $2,994 in 17 cents.

The rear deck is in, the door reels drop.

The exhaust system works, and the

switch blade is ready for action.

But what's it all been about?

That's what I see.

As the exhausted crew

sleeps, very late at night.

Tom prool it of Damon's

transforms the stang into

a shiny green metal-flaked

fire-breeding dragon.

I'm going to paint this

thing up, we're going to

put green for the money

and gold for the honey's.

I'm going to top it off with some

chameleon flamish mouse color.

I think Jesse and Timmy just

want to look for this thing.

So we're going to use a lime

-time house color green base coat.

We're going to put some yellow

lime, a lake over there.

I'm going to give it about 5 coats of

candy apple, lime gold, house color.

It's going to look like it's going

to 100 miles an hour sitting still.

Tomorrow, the final test.

Monster Garage Factoid.

In 1990, there were 30 million

acres of lawn in the United States.

Don't flood your engine, Monster

Garage will be right back.

We're rolling all the way out to

India about 100 miles from LA.

And I guess the the bad of grass

is a place called West Coast turf.

We're going to go out

there and check it out.

Day 7, the final trial.

The switch blade lives in breath.

Now watch the world's

fastest lawnmower chew

up the turf and eat

the competition alive.

Ladies and gentlemen,

the big shrank with my co

-host Frankie Whiteside

monster garage challenge.

West Coast turf it looks to

be a big burn burner frame.

I got to tell you swag.

I have never ever been

this pumped up before race.

Daniel Torres on a 7-game tractor more

tip-been the scales at over 4,000 pounds.

He looks confident.

And Jesse James in his 1990 Mustang G

convertible riding up and down the track.

I think he's trying to

intimidate his competition frame.

Never going to happen, swag.

I spoke to Daniel

Torres before this race.

He is called.

He is determined.

He is ready to go.

Mono, Mono.

It's like the thriller in Manila.

Look at the stared out of

the eyes and Jesse James.

Could Jesse have been enough more soft

than he can chew Frank Daniel Torres.

Perhaps his engine.

And James Ravs back.

Now Jesse James is getting his

first look at this big bad machine.

Look at the blades come down.

Oh, there are seven of them.

And Daniel Torres gets his first look

at the tire slashing lawn ruckin.

There's the eye.

The engines are Evan and

the race is about to start.

Three, two, one.

There up.

Oh, one of them start for Daniel Torres.

He's way out of head.

Is Jesse James having

mechanical problems, Frank?

No.

No.

Like the tortoise in that hair, is

he that confident in his machine?

Oh, did you see that bolt of lightning?

Daniel Torres is halfway down the track.

Well, look at this.

Jesse his cool.

He's come.

He's collected.

He reps the engine.

And he g*ns it.

I think it may be too late swag.

Look at how fast he's going.

Already swag.

He's up to 30 miles an hour.

The he is reaching speeds

up to 70 miles per hour.

That fort.

He's about to pass Daniel

Torres and stretch.

You got to be kidding me, Frank.

I can't believe it.

I feel for Daniel Torres.

One and upset.

They can see the look of rejection.

40 seconds left.

He is a new lawnmower record, Frank.

It's got to be a big

blow for West Coast hurt.

Folks, I am speechless.

But look at the not a gesture of mutual

respect between Jesse

James and Daniel Torres.

You don't see that often in

the lawnmower business, Frank.

No, you don't swag.

And I am proud that I was here.

Well, there's no time for fun and games.

He's off to his next big

challenge in the monster garage.

Come on.

Wow.

Are they really for us or do we

have to run away and steal him?

No, they're for you guys.

He gives the tools before

we start the project.

I know.

We need it, though.

That's neat.

Thank you.

A lot of shiny tools, huh?

Wow.

Very cool.

Very good job, guys.

Thanks for watching.
