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

01x22 - Tundrinator

Post by bunniefuu »

We're taking off Floss

Country again, looking for the

best-and-faddest homemade

monsters in a monster nation.

We don't care if it's a

beauty or a basket case.

We're going to drive it into your living

room, even if it's a

real piece of Chevrolet.

And we're heading to Jesse's mom's alma

mater, Jordan High School in Long Beach.

My mom was kind of hot

looking when she was here.

She looked like a little bit of a tailor.

Jesse's here, just a school, another

shop class in monster making it.

So basically we're going

to build a little race car.

And Jesse's mom shares some

heartwarming stories about her son.

Another time you tried

nasty notes on rocks.

And sail the moment in neighbors.

Are you surprised?

So round up the kids, let the

dog out and crank up the volume.

Joy is now as Jesse and a g*ng of 3

million fabricators rip, grind and burn,

transforming their own vehicles into

monster machines across the monster nation.

Our first pit stop on the monster

nation tour is Winslow, Arizona.

If you're ever standing

on a corner in this desert

town, there are some

sites you just might see.

They are the creations of auto-recker

and monster maker Rodney Rucker.

Rodney and some builder

buddies are just putting

the finishing touches

on a brand new monster.

This fabulous fabrication is a one

-of-a-kind, super-sized shopping cart.

Built the basket first.

And then we had two or three

different truck frames that

we tried to put it on and

they just didn't look right.

So then we finally got inspired

to build our own frame.

These ended like a hot

wheels or street rod.

We raked the front.

We raked the back.

Everything's driven from the top.

We borrowed a hydraulic

ram off the steering

of a fork lift and we mounted it on this.

And it seems to work really good.

This suspension is all

78-fort truck coilover.

Have we do any one ton

coils all the way around?

These are gas shocks.

We have our tunnel ram with a six pack.

It has a nice hot rod hat on it.

We have a lot of weekend for

Rodney and his buddies to get

their shopping cart from the

checkout line to the starting line.

It took us a year to build the basket.

We did it on weekends one

day actually a month that I

could meet with my friends

and get everybody together.

After more than a year

of building, Rodney is

ready to take his super

shopper out for a spin.

This is a made-in voyage since we've

got all the bugs worked out of it.

You're 15 feet up in the air.

Kind of take a look at this because

it wiggles and moves around a lot.

So there's a lot of dust

everywhere in this guき into this.

is ready to buy in bulk.

Thanks for coming out, guys.

I'm right.

I'm right.

If Jay wanted Jordan High School and his

modeling junior build crew

is putting down the books

and picking up their tools.

Their challenge, assemble

all of these parts,

piece by piece, both by ba*ls,

and end up with a 5-8

scale, 1937 Chevy Legend car

that will be ready to race

at Irwin Dale Speedway.

The rules, the folks at 600 racing,

are picking up the parts tab

for the student builders.

They'll get five days to

complete their monster,

but they have to finish their

regular school day first.

If successful, each team member

will receive a Jesse James Toolkit,

worth 700 bucks, and Jordan's auto

shop will also score two Mac Toolkits.

Months to class is now in session.

Representing hardworking hand

-crafting high schoolers everywhere,

are Gregory Hillyard.

Eddie Dalyone.

Adam Huerta.

Francis Go Megalonis.

Richie Mazah.

Sergio Barba.

And the head huncho, their

teacher, Mr. Brian Kramer.

Jesse James shows up right on time for the

first period bell and monster lab class.

All right, guys.

So basically we're going

to build a little race car.

I think the store class for

like kids like 15 and older.

It's kind of an inexpensive

way to start racing.

A lot of kids like Tony

Stewart and stuff like that

that started in a racing a*s car

now that started racing one of me.

So it's good to learn.

This m*dget monster will go

together just like a model car.

They'll start with a suspension

and work their way up,

assembling their monster piece

by piece until it's race ready.

But there's a catch.

Something's missing from

their monster model.

The instructions.

The directions that came with the

car kit have been confiscated.

You should be able to look at

and see where everything goes.

Well, instructions are

enough in the middle.

Much to be puzzle.

That's kind of like one of

those models when you're kid,

but you lost the instructions.

You know, look at all the

pieces of wonder where they go.

No monster tear down for this build.

All they've got to start with

is the skeleton of the car.

Those are the operators of the car.

Yeah, those are the floors.

They start out at ground

level with the suspension.

Apparently the rear end

fits right through here.

The center of the frame.

The brute force you

figured out where it is.

The puzzle pieces are

coming together slowly,

but the team has big day one

plans for their monster race car.

Our goal today is to

have the car in rolling.

Things are looking pretty good right now.

The team hits the brakes and Eddie tries

to put a stop on day one over confidence.

Honestly, I was thinking of myself.

This is just a three-day project,

but I don't want to start assuming things

cause the way monster garage works.

Once your nation mantra,

it ain't over till you

take home the tools.

He's buying dinner if he's wrong.

The crew starts the

install on the shocks.

Then they get another shock.

When the youngest member of

their team shows up unexpectedly.

This is one of our golden

members right here.

Francesco's the youngest

one that's been on any of

the build teams in the

history of monster garage.

Much going there and

help them get greasy.

His father's been dealing with a

terminal cancer for a long time,

and he ended up passing

away this Saturday.

And for him to even be here today,

he really says a lot about his character.

What are we looking on?

Suspension?

Well done.

Put it in the bottom.

Francisco's arrival puts

the team at full strength.

He suits up and helps finish

bolting on the suspension.

Then the brakes are assembled.

Gregory and Eddie mount them.

The master cylinder is also installed,

so they'll need to bleed the

air out of the brake lines

and check for pressure.

I want to break it.

To prove the excitement

or the market back up.

This is all those bubbles

that you can see in the line.

I don't want to make the

brake system pay just fail.

They begin bleeding the

brakes at the master cylinder.

Then they hit each wheel to

work the air out of the lines.

Let's shake the brake pressure.

All right, you guys ready?

But when they finish the process,

their brakes are broken.

So we have no brake effort here.

I guess the framework will take it apart.

Maybe it's even a year, you guys.

Eddie's been thinking apart.

Take the caliper off and reset it.

Just some little whole thing.

Eddie and Mr. Cramer work

together to break down the brakes.

There we go.

There we go.

Get in better.

There we go.

All right.

Good.

After building, tearing down,

and rebuilding the brake system,

their racer finally shows

some stopping power.

They're good.

Yes, all right.

Finally.

Finally, it is.

Yes.

The hardest one I've ever done.

Day one has been a long

one for these builders,

but they've accomplished a lot.

The entire front-strain

suspension and braking systems

are all clearly done.

We're in good shape.

We set ourselves up pretty

good for the rest of the week.

Suspension and brakes.

Check.

Today they installed the

shocks and the stops.

Tomorrow they'll work on the goal.

The next stop on this

monster nation road tour

is Baltimore, Maryland.

Where artist and steel

sculptor Derek Arnold

is set to show off a couple of

his prehistoric bed projects.

It's creator, Chris in this

8-ton 14-foot-tall monster

Cat Arreptosaurus.

Cat Arreptosaurus is a dinosaur.

A raptor.

It's completely made of

caterpillar tractor parts.

Part of the funding came

from the Johns Hopkins.

They have an outdoor sculpture show,

and I was selected to build this dinosaur

for that outdoor sculpture.

Another one of Derek's primitive projects

could easily be a daily driver

for a certain Stone Age family.

He calls it bedrock to barter town.

You need that because it's

part of the fun stones

in any part Mad Max.

Derek took his inspiration

for this monster

from a fallen giant.

I began with a piece of wood

a 115-year-old piece of

oak tree that had fallen

at my neighbor's property.

You're going to see where

the wood's been worn

off right here.

That's when I got the

piece from my neighbor.

I dragged it down the

road with the tractor.

Basically the car is a 72

Volkswagen Beetle chassis.

I started with a wood and

I cut it down the middle

to make two symmetrical pieces.

I hollowed out the center of it

and then mounted it on the chassis.

It's a car made out of wood and steel

has some farm equipment parts.

This part right here is a cast

steel piece which is from

a sickle barn miller.

These are the guards which the blades

ride in between and

they go back and forth

and these are actually cutting edges.

This is a piece of sickle miller wood

and originally was a not hole

from sickle millers to sickle miller.

This monster melms man

-made to mother nature.

The reason I built the

wood and metal combination

was because I like the

organic quality of wood

steel.

But mostly, Derek built his bedrock buggy

just to turn heads on the highway.

There's maple.

People's most common reaction to the car

would be it seems like they're

baffled.

No, that guy's looking at me

like, what the hell is that?

You know, it gives people a chance to see

something completely different.

Back at Jordan High School

and it's day two of

the legend racer build.

Monster mechanics 101 is back in session.

Yesterday, the build team

started from the ground up

getting this suspension ready to go

and the brakes ready to stop.

Today, they'll pick

up where they left off

and set something straight

starting with the alignment.

It's going to make car

handle a lot better

and also be a little bit more safer.

It's just when you're going

to attract high speeds.

To do a wheel alignment,

it helps to have wheels.

And when the crew arrived this morning,

there was a cherry set of racing tires

waiting for them courtesy of 600 racing.

Check these out. These are nice.

Oh, we got wheels, huh?

Yeah.

This is going to look pretty cool.

They give their new rims

and tires a quick spin

to balance them. Then they mount them up.

More seconds.

Come on.

Well, we got to do the alignment now.

Now, we've really got to do it.

They use old school radius plates

to help them adjust the car's alignment.

It's a lot of tires to rotate freely

without finding on the concrete.

The team works together

on getting the front

end straightened out.

They're ready?

Well, they're on our roll.

They pop in a few body

panels in a battery.

They run some fuel lines

and hook up the fuel pump.

They even measure out a

cooling system for a motor

that's still missing.

Something like that.

We need that engine here

so we can start getting a better idea

of how we're going to run this thing

because obviously with that huge gap,

there's like, we have no idea

how we're going to run it around.

The builders break for lunch

and the master fabricator

who's as into class

with some extra toppings for their racer.

That's the

I got belt.

Racing restraints

and other goodies

from impact racing.

And for that tastiest treat of the day,

all brand new motor

with everything on it.

That'd be sweet.

Whoa, which way?

While the crew gets their hands dirty,

mounting their much-awaited engine,

Jesse checks out Kramer's shop.

No.

It's a whole bunch of old equipment

and toys.

Cool.

This is a good shop.

This is where my mom went,

so you know the school rule.

You write a picture?

Yeah.

My mom was kind of hot

looking when she was here.

She looked like a lizard, but Taylor,

not that she's not hot looking now.

She's totally hot.

Jesse lays out the seat

belt and racing harness.

These should be pretty loose,

so you can cinch them down.

And then these, when they're tight,

the buckle should be

right on your nipple.

Right about that much adjustment

and it, because when you drive,

you know, the throwing

you against the side.

And they loosen up, so you

want to be able to pull down

and tighten them even more.

Well, Mr. Kramer leads

the rest of the team

and mounting the motor.

Jesse and Eddie install the

racing harness in belts.

Well, it's not gonna pull loose,

it pulls in on itself.

Then you fold it up and zip tie it.

So it doesn't, there's no sloppy.

The belts are buckled up,

and Mr. Kramer and the g*ng are

attaching the throttle

cable to the carburetor.

And you go, man.

No, or not.

I think it'd be easier to

just pull the carburetor up.

Put it on, and put it back on.

Or you can spend another 45 minutes.

Let's do that into the whole easy way.

Jesse's suggestion works.

All right, now we got the throttle grip.

It's in?

Yeah, it's in.

Is it tight and down?

Yeah?

Tight?

All right, guys.

The master fabricator

heads home after all.

It's a school night.

Well, Jesse coming in and helping

us figure a little bit out.

You know, I'm totally happy right now.

We got the throttle linkage hooked up.

So this is ready to go.

We got the clutch line hooked up.

The motor's almost mounted, completely.

I said it three days.

Monday, three days.

It's over.

Today's day two.

It's a model that thing is rolling.

All right.

It looks like the Jordan

High School built team

as way ahead of schedule.

But in the monster nation,

looks can be deceiving.

To find our next monster nation creation,

we head into the Black

Rock Desert in Nevada.

This damsel in the desert is no morage.

She's the contissar, a replica of

a 16th century Spanish galleon.

She's the monster.

Now meet her makers.

Hi, I'm Steve.

I'm Greg Jones.

And I'm Simon.

And this is our galleon, the La Contessa.

This monstrous mistress is

definitely in the plus sizes.

She's 60 feet long.

16 feet wide and stands 55 feet tall.

She may look like royalty now,

but the countess used

to have it pretty wrong.

This ship started out as a school bus.

So here we are in the

engine room of La Contessa.

You can see, in fact, it

is a yellow school bus.

Up here we have the steel structure.

That's created a

exoskeleton around the bus

to which all of the

deck members are mounted

and then the whole

sections around the outside

are hung underneath the deck sections.

Inside the Contessa beats

the heart of a harlet.

The inside here was modeled

after a 16th century

bordella.

We actually put a lot of

attention into the detail.

It took us five months to

build about a hundred people

I've worked on it.

Fully assembled, this monster

weighs two and a half tons.

And once this ship were

the desert gets rolling,

it's best just to get

out of La Contessa's way.

We've got to have a pilot

upstairs because I can't see much

from down here.

The board's starboard.

I'll have board.

You have to be really careful

about bumps and things

because we have about

a six inch clearance.

Great.

A monster like La Contessa goes to show

that with a little

ingenuity, a lot of help

and enough hemp rope to go around

ship happen.

The next stop on the monster nation tour

is a late back city by the sea

that's home to a big time monster.

Santa Cruz, California.

Michael Leads is one of those guys

that still enjoys getting up

early on a Saturday morning

and detailing his custom ride.

It just takes him a little

longer than most people.

Leads is the proud

papa to the super sized

drop-top dream car, Big Bertha.

Three decades ago in

Michael found Big Bertha

she had outlived her

usefulness as a fire truck

and been put out to pasture

in the city scrapyard.

I took a 1941 fire engine

and I just went off on it.

I stripped the body

off and then I started

playing around with

different body designs.

Some of the things

that really inspired me

are the classic designs,

Ducenbergs, who gotties.

The back of this car

is mostly reminiscent

of the cars that really turned me on.

Everything is wind swept.

I took a 1947 student baker,

pick up truck hood and turn it around

backwards and that became

the back of the boat tail.

The process of building the fenders

is that you build wooden forms.

The first year and a half was

spent in building the forms.

I went through six different designs

until I came up with

exactly what I wanted.

This is really not a car.

This is a gigantic piece of sculpture.

One of the features of this car.

So fully adjustable air ride.

It's got air power steering.

It's got air brakes.

It rides like a dream.

This is not a trailer queen,

a show car that gets trailer to a show.

This is a car that I drive.

This is something that I can get in

and I can take out in the

street and I can drive.

That's what makes it fun for me.

It is essentially a gigantic toy.

The reaction that I get from this car

and he clips my wildest dreams

when people ask us how

fast this car goes.

What we say is that it goes smiles

per hour, over a hundred smiles per hour.

It just makes you feel like a king.

It's a project that's very

near and dear to my heart.

Without any compromise,

I did the best that I could do.

It's day three at Munster Technikai.

And the build cruise first assignment

is to carry their Munster's body parts

to the Jordan High Paint booth.

Build team member Sergio has volunteered

to do the paint and body work.

I've had auto-butter

repair for two years now.

It is over time.

He'll get the hang of it

and become better at it.

While Sergio suits up to give their music

a monster a lacquer black shine,

the rest of the team focuses

on making it race ready.

And the major part of today

will be spent on getting

the car fired up.

While Francisco and Gregory go below

to install the clutch,

Mr. Kramer gets on the horn

with Irwin Dale Speedway

to find out the official specs

for setting the camber

on their mini monster.

Eddie and Adam made a quick run

to the local parts door

to pick up motor oil

and some other essential

items for their monster.

Moin, black, school colors,

you can't have a car without that.

You want to play some dice?

The fuel cell has also arrived

so they mounted and top it off.

It's almost time to

fire up their monster.

Three days of wrenching

and it all comes down

to pushing a button.

At first, their monster

is playing hard to get

so they prime the carburetor with fuel.

This is Reving.

Now that that quickly.

The motor starts, but

it revs out of control.

We're in a run, check out the throttle

and get you to get stuck.

It got hung up on there, that's

why it revs out pretty loud.

We put it in a new position

and it looks like it's

clearing it pretty easy

with the throttle clear

they try it again.

Three days of wrenching

the Jordan High Gearheads have blasted

through their build like honor students.

We got a pretty good day today

but they were going to call the quits.

Guess how's that?

We do a little water today.

We want it, yeah.

This team thinks that

all they have left to do

to finish their monster

is bolt on the body panels.

But tomorrow, Jesse is scheduled

to check their progress.

There ain't looks a little c*ck

in relation to the drive shaft.

Take a tape and measure axle axle.

Yeah, it's awful a little bit right here.

So you guys are done.

Team Mini Monster better think again.

There's a term in race cars

called Nutton and Boldenit.

Every single nut and bolt on the car

you need to go over and

make sure it's tight.

Because there are long

way from the finish line.

Hey Monster fans, there's

plenty more building

and lots more monsters coming your way.

And the Master Fabricator's

b*mb is stopping by

for an insightful visit.

Stay tuned.

Pause the angel and ask a kid ask her.

I have many embarrassing moments.

Day four, still riding

high from their success

with the motor test, the

build crew shows up for class.

Straight out of the box.

These builders were

brimming with confidence.

Honestly, I was thinking of myself.

This is just a three day project.

It's just a three day project.

I said it three days,

three days, three days.

We're doing one of them.

This team seems to have

forgotten one hard and fast rule.

Don't ever think you got

the monster by the tail,

because the monster can still turn around

and take a big bite out of you.

At the start of day

four, trouble is brewing.

Adam and Eddie discover

that the clutch is ready.

The engine assembly is putting

the pitch on the brake line.

The line for the clutch is basically

splashing the line for the brakes.

We have to take the clutch out.

This young team needs to learn that

finger pointing won't fix a problem.

They go back and switch the

clutch and brake lines around

and then bleed the clutch again.

Come on with the caravans and learn.

All these wires are back here.

Don't hit anything.

You got to check everything because I

don't want to have to take everything out.

It's all right.

It's all right.

It's all right.

Rustrated with this setback,

Eddie starts barking orders.

Adam tries to attach

the tecometer that he

and Eddie bought at the

part story yesterday,

but it presents another problem.

It's not hooked up.

I don't know.

We're setting you guys out for

oil and we come back with a tack

and some fuzzy dice.

You guys got to figure it out.

You guys wanted to mount it.

Eddie was the one who got it.

I was on the other side,

so I didn't have no idea.

It doesn't matter who got it.

So let's get it fixed.

More finger pointing

from team mini monster.

Always unpredictable, but

occasionally punctual.

Jesse James rolls in right on schedule

for this built team's midterm exam.

You guys almost done?

Yeah.

You know what you got to tackle?

It's good.

It's good in this problem.

There's a four cylinder tack.

Yeah.

It comes with the switches in the body.

So let's just forget the tack.

All right.

Do you want to see it?

Yeah.

Mr. Cramer takes the master

fabricator over to the paint booth.

To check out Sergio's hand you work.

And to give his other students

a little time to blow off steam.

That's what happens when you piss me off.

We're done.

That's how I appreciate some

particular idea that I had.

You got it out.

It's not good in our way anymore, so.

While Eddie battles with the tack,

Jesse checks out the car's new skin.

It looks awesome there.

They were all proud of him.

And you got credit.

It's cool for doing it, huh?

You're gonna get an A.

That's the best thing.

Then when you're done, you get paid.

So what's going to return this?

Now you can't take it back.

The build crew thinks they're done.

Except for hanging.

The freshly painted body panels.

But Jesse knows better.

You get on the hat.

We're done in a g*n.

Er, er, er, er.

There's going to be something.

So don't think you guys

are like home free.

Jesse begins his inspection

on the m*dget monster

to see if this student's

work is for his class.

If he stand back here and

look at that rear end,

that rear end looks a little c*ck

in relation to the drive shaft.

You know, measure your your shock tension

and all that stuff.

Make sure they're wound up identical.

You know, all this wiring

here that's all loose

and stuff like that.

If you get a flat tire and

the tire starts to shred,

it's going to take all that stuff out.

If you go out on a racetrack and

you wing this thing full throttle

and it hits that and it comes apart.

That's going to sh**t right through your.

Did you take a tape and

measure access to the axle?

Uh, in the back now.

Thought you guys were done.

There's a term in race cars

called Nutton and Boldenit.

Every single nut and bolt on

the car you need to go over

and make sure it's tight.

Double check and then double check again

and then have someone else go

and double check what you did.

Then it's full proof.

I know you guys think

you're done, but you ain't.

All right, I'm out of here.

I'll see you tomorrow.

After handing out a good dose of reality,

Jesse leaves his built team

with something to think about.

When it comes to building a race car,

the devil is in the details.

Jesse comes in and points things on

and we realize that you know what?

It's the little things

that we're missing.

Going to basically stop

making assumptions about

finishing the car as soon as we can.

And just take our time a little more

and make sure everything's fine.

At the end of a tough day four,

the humble crew pulls themselves together

after a good kick in the butt.

Tomorrow, hopefully they'll return

with a new approach to monster building.

There are legends that tell of

a place out on the left coast

of the Munster Nation where

the West is still wild.

In Barstoke, California,

Greg Parker spends a lot of

his time making monsters,

but he's not a mad scientist.

He's just an artistic auto-recker.

A one-body-shop and garage is

much more than a wrecking yard.

It's Greg's laboratory.

He's been building beasts

right here for 35 years,

using only the best

junk from his junk pile.

He's created a corner

copia of cool contraptions.

Everything from a 1957

Hillman Husky Half-Track

to a 1970 View Station wagon

turned urban as*ault monster.

This is off of the irrigation pipe.

This is off the roof of

the house, the heater.

This is a water tank.

The g*n up on top is a pentotransmission

with a lawnmower handle.

Greg began building to boost business.

He started drawing people in,

so the more elaborately made the cars

and more customers that we had.

Parker has an artistic

flair for making monsters.

His early works have a mad max

and a world sort of appeal.

But with his most recent works,

he's moving out of his

post-apocalyptic period

and seems to be welding his way

into a whole new creative stage.

Well, we're building

here as our stage coach.

With the exception, it's going

to be a lowered street rod.

We've bent the infrastructure

and got it all corrected square

and now we're skinning it with

this 20-gauge sheet metal.

To get an idea what the

final product will look like,

just check out the 4x4

model he built last year.

Frame is out of a 78-forward Bronco.

It's a 351-forward engine.

The bodies all made out

of 1-gauge square tubing

with 20-gauge sheet metal.

The rear suspension was moved back

a total of 10 inches from

the stock Bronco design

and I put an extra set of

springs on it inverted.

Greg builds his monsters

to show off it auto shows

and for hometown bragging rights.

We've built these things.

We've built them for the

Halloween parade every year.

It's put on by the city of Barstone.

A few years ago, Greg took just one month

to build himself a custom woodie

with old-time styling

and big-time performance.

This thing's made out of

a 74-forward 3-quarter ton

pickup with a 460 Lincoln

motor and transmission.

4-wheel drive.

It's got a 44-inch tall tires.

It goes anywhere.

For any wannabe builders out

there in the monster nation,

Greg has just a pinch of sage advice.

If anybody wants to start

building stuff like this,

what they should do first is get a welder

and just go for it and

create something different.

And you get out of the box.

People from hundreds of miles

come in to see your work.

Art grabs you.

It's a lifetime.

Love affair with that vehicle,

because it's the only one there is.

Back at Jordan High,

it's day five,

the last day of the build.

Yesterday, just he schooled the team

and proper workmanship.

I know you guys think you're done,

but if you go out on a race track

and you win this thing full throttle,

then it comes in part that's

going to sh**t right through your.

And today,

they seem to have learned

their monster lesson.

Just check everything.

No more sloppy building.

The team has its straight.

Now they need to straighten up

the rear end of their race car.

For instance, in a kind of an angle,

so it's a wheelbase

to shorter on one side

than it makes on the other.

So it changes a lot.

After some quick but careful adjustments

and a whole lot of measuring,

their race car's backside is dialed in.

That's it right there.

Alright, let's find that.

Good work, sir.

Next, the team double checks every nut,

bolt, screw, rivet, and

tie wrap on their race car.

If Jesse performs an idiot check today,

he won't find any idiots here.

The freshly painted body panels

have had enough time to cure.

They're ready for installation.

Just look at it man.

Look at these lines.

It's just man.

Cause it doesn't look delicious.

It's looking pretty good, yeah?

Hang on man.

I don't know what it's all.

The sucks after work every day, huh?

Not on a cry like this.

It doesn't really blow to me.

It gets old, trust me.

Even though a hammer in

all of them after a while.

For the final day of the build,

Jesse brings a very special guest.

My mom's here.

You're kind of good looking.

You think so?

Yeah.

You did that, b*tch.

That's my boy.

He even loves his mom's

high school, b*tch.

She has an angel when

I was a kid, ask her.

Is that true?

No.

I had many embarrassing moments.

A lot of others mad at me.

For a little on-re guy.

Everyone, I threw that rock

through that old lady's window.

She'll drive by the house.

And then I ran inside and took off

all my clothes and messed up my hair

and pretended like I was sleeping.

I can remember.

Mom just came in and found.

Let me have it.

Didn't even ask her.

Another time.

You tied nasty notes.

Nasty words on rocks.

And sailed them over the neighbors.

I didn't do that.

I didn't do that.

Well, are you surprised?

He was very intelligent.

You still live.

He had a lot of potential.

I don't know if he used it off.

But

Hey, I got my own TV show.

I think there's a lot

of teachers out there

that's still probably grumble

every Monday night about 9 o'clock.

Jesse's mom takes a walk.

And the team is ready to take a ride.

Okay.

Let's do it and drive it.

Yeah, it does.

This is just a little baby car.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Job, guys.

Things for

Things for anyone.

Hold on.

You guys want some tools?

Yeah.

Yeah.

I feel like you're excited now.

These are just a few.

Good job, guys.

All right.

Monster garage CDs.

Jesse James Mac tools.

Yeah.

There we go.

You two being

Mac tools says for the shop here.

Oh, my God.

So cool.

Thank you, Jesse.

Good job, guys.

Thanks a lot.

Over at West Coast choppers.

Legendary pinstriper Pete

Finland is set to put

the finishing touches

on the legend race car.

Let's go on Sergio.

Today, Pete is taking on an apprentice.

He's offered to teach built-in members

Sergio the secrets of striping.

We're coming to you from

our home away from home.

Erwin Dale Speedway.

Where we're getting ready to fire

up another monster nation challenge.

The Jordan High Bill team is showing

up for the showdown monster style.

And their legend racer is

ready to pound the plate.

Driving their mini monster

will be none other than

championship legend racer

15 year old David Ross.

But the competition will be fierce folks.

Driving car 72 is Erwin Dale's

raceway rookie of the year.

16 year old Austin Grumpowski.

Okay, folks.

The rules of this challenge are simple.

You drive fast.

You turn left.

And you win the best two out

of three laps around the track.

We're there.

Take all.

Whoa.

These guys came to race.

Check out the monster's stare down.

Gentlemen.

Parker.

But drivers will take one

pace lap to heat up the times.

Two teams with nerves of steel.

They're in off the track to find

out who's the king of the road.

They don't get any

more monster than this.

David Ross in the Jordan High team.

Clark takes the first lap.

But Austin Grumpowski hit the red 70.

His right on his bumper.

Whoa.

He makes a great move to the

inside and takes the lead.

I want to go as you go.

Grumpowski takes lap two.

Yeah.

Gotta be kidding me.

It's tied up with one lap to go.

He could be all over for Jordan High.

One of them move by David Ross.

He takes the checker flag.

And Jordan High takes home the chrome.

And the monster nation proud.

Jordan High's mini is a monster success.

Enjoy the tools boys.

You've earned them.

A tension monster shepherds.

We've trailed through the wild west.

Sailed with monsters from centuries past.

And pedal around in bedrock buckets.

And we've shown you a future

monster builders can do.

But we're not done yet.

The next monster nation road

trip is just around the bend.

A legend in the world

of custom fabrication.

Indian Larry rides again.

Next, on bike or build off.

It's off to drag racing

school for the OCC guys.

As they prepare to build a drag bike

unlike any other American chopper.

Tomorrow.

Battle lines are drawn.

Who will take the title of

America's most beautiful roadster.

Hot Rod build off.

Tomorrow.
