01x02 - Firetruck

[bunniefuu]

Hello there, Monster fans.

Oh boy, it's a hot one.

The Mercury is arising

and the conditions are

near perfect for good

old Southern California

structure fire.

Master Fabricator Jesse James is about to

take on long beaches by

this fireman in a barn

burning bonanza.

So lay the kids down and put the dog out

and grab your best

marshmallows take because

the next monster garage challenge

is just around the bend.

Join us now and is Jesse

and his g*ng of American

mechanics with pride

and burn, transforming

ordinary street vehicles into monster

machines in the monster garage.

This week's challenge take

a 1996 Lincoln Tom car

stretch limousine and

transform it into the world's

meanest fire truck.

The rules, when built

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 crew have

seven days and nights

on the first day of his

ride for the next five

day builds and on the

seventh day, they race.

If successful, they walk

away with a $3,400 set

of Mac tools and the

clock starts now day one.

Into the Monster's Den

come Jesse James and his

dream team of artists,

engineers and specialists

from across the United States.

Their skills have been called upon to give

this wedding wagon a monster makeover.

On 1996 Lincoln Tom car

limousine with its hefty

V8 engine is great for

transporting kits to the

prom, but making it into

a fire fighting machine

will be a stretch, even for

Jesse James and his crew.

I'm a performance artist.

Hi, performance artist.

Jesse James, direct

descendant of the legendary

house law, is one of the

premier motorcycle builders

in the world. His one

of a kind bikes are an

unparalleled fusion of

metal-bending skills

and creative genius, but

will he be able to accomplish

the unusual task of

transforming an ordinary

limousine into the ultimate super-soker?

I don't know how to fire truck works.

I have no clue.

But you know, lucky enough

we brought people in

that have that bit of

knowledge I could take.

The design team convenes in the w*r room.

I think a parent's wife

should look like a limousine.

Just keep it.

Yeah, essentially what it is.

Ed Blanford, top-mosted

designer for the last 11

years, flows the lead,

giving form to fantasy.

I want to walk along more

unique to the problem.

The more interesting the

problem solving process.

I've never thought about a

luxury car like this before.

We can never get this to

look exactly like this.

I'm here to look at g*ns.

That's a very true state.

Many Bergman knows

limos, just to ask you.

Death couldn't be my

help, that's for sure.

In the limousine business, he's a Titan.

Because I am the best.

You want something that will

flow some serious water.

Floating water is ricca-dell

specialty as an engineer for secret.

The premier fire engine manufacturer,

he's here from Clintonville, Wisconsin.

The secret of bills of my 200

to 250 custom vehicles here,

where we build everything

from the ground up.

It doesn't matter how long

it takes you to get there.

It doesn't matter what you

do when you do get there.

The fire is going to go out eventually.

Mike Schraut speaks from experience.

He's a 12-year veteran of the Long

Beach California Fire Department.

This is something creative.

This is something that we're taking

from our brains and our gods.

And we're going to weld it into

a chunk of pumping machinery.

No idea is too wild

for the monster garage.

They fire-proofed blanket

over the whole thing.

It's mother-in-law, right?

I don't know, we know.

I know, I don't know.

We need to make a catapult

and have a 55 gallon drove

with that fiery, tart and

stuff they drop out of planes.

Over the fire.

Designs are coming fast and

furious, but with this schedule,

it's time to get serious.

You're doing this seven days.

Let's do props stuff.

Like nah, it's got to be functional.

I have the best thing we could hope

for is to make it look like a cannon.

So when the top flips open, they're

the big water cannon comes out.

If we decide that we want to go with this

thing sh**ting as much water as possible,

you need to go with a

centrifugal type pump.

Yeah.

Which needs to be driven

by a powerful motor.

That's going to be able to

flow the monitor out the top.

We could put nozzles in the trunk.

Land back, all rear road.

Pointing sections off

the side, everything.

It all seems simple.

A pump will be mounted inside the limo,

and a water cannon will

pop through the roof.

But a crucial question remains.

How much of a hose pumps?

If you go on by when it

comes to 30,000 bucks.

It's all but it will possible.

It's almost midnight and the design

day ends with a $30,000 problem.

All right, guys.

Well, it looks like we have a couple of

guys that are trying to k*ll the flames.

We could call it that the flame k*ller.

The design requires a

high velocity pump mounted

in the car, powered by

the limo's V8 engine.

Once activated, the roof will open and a

water cannon will emerge from the needs.

Delivering high pressure gallonage

to a blazing and burnout.

Perfired apartment requirements,

it must sh**t 100 feet.

But there's a big hole in this plan,

and only a powerful pump can fill it.

Has the design day been all for nothing?

Day 2, 5 a.m.

Jesse's band of very metal heads

arrived to make a monster come to life.

Jesse James is in the house.

Long Beach firefighter Mike

Stroud, stays on for the bill.

Hot Rod Creators, Steve Denich,

hails from Birmingham, England.

Paul Johnson from Turlock, California, is

the fleet mechanic at

Cal State Long Beach,

Lisa Lijon of Hollywood, California,

teaches welding at LA Trade Tech.

Wing Eller, legendary

motorcycle builder from

Orange, California, is

here to work as magic.

The troops gathered to get their orders.

You guys got a good concept.

Yeah, thanks.

Everybody's got to work together.

The seven days seems like a long time.

They did goes up.

It's like that.

It's gone.

And it'll be like the fifth day.

And we're like, you know, running

around, trying to chase our tail.

I think we should cut that floor

out and look at the reinforcement.

Cut them right off and you

get to go into the limousine.

Just have a tear apart like that.

That's it.

As the crew tears into the

limo, Mike works as local

connections in a desperate

search for the pump.

We want to move at least a

thousand gallons a minute.

And I'm going to install it in a car.

All right, bye.

He's got nothing.

The doors are removed for easy access.

And the limo is rotated into position.

We hope to get it out again.

Wing does a little house cleaning.

This is a mess.

Get organized.

The team sets aside essential

items to be used later.

We kept the body.

We got to draw the line somewhere.

It's only matter time that

it called paramedics, man.

If we can't get a pump, then we'll

have to rethink our situation.

I want to find a fire truck pump.

No luck on the pump.

In a last ditch effort, Mike drives to

pierce a fire truck repair and salvage yard.

I called the guy and he said he

might have one in the back yard.

A pump.

Well, it's a pump.

I don't see what we need.

I need something like this, actually.

Well, you guys, you guys

have no plans for this.

This one, I have another one here though.

It's not put, not full capacity.

It should work for what you want.

It doesn't hit fire department specs,

but it'll pump plenty of

water for the monster team.

A handshake seals a heck

of a deal, a mere $1,500.

Awesome.

Back at the monster garage, Mike

shares the spoils of his efforts.

If we had enough nozzles, it

would put out 250 gallons.

Now, that's a draft.

That's drafting water out

of a still, like a pool.

But hooking it up to the hydrant,

you probably get closer to the 14.59.

This baby could drain a

backyard pool in 10 minutes.

Wink and Paul retrieved the

monster's most vital organ.

That is the heart of the project.

To transplant this heart, the monster

surgical team must rip out the exhaust,

extract the drive line, and slice

a hole in the belly of the beast.

Not even Vinny is prepared

for a limo like this.

Look where he got here.

We got £2500 of pump.

I mean, limo's don't carry pumps.

Vinny thinks the team was too

aggressive in tearing apart the limo.

Well, this controls all

the opening closed doors,

the switches, the lights,

and stuff like that.

The monster couldn't know that

we shouldn't have cut these.

Monster boys, they're easy.

This isn't fluffy, very fufu garage.

This is monster garage,

this is monster garage.

So now we gotta get that

floor out of there, huh?

Using an air hammer as a scalpel, Wink

and delicately removes the 18 gauge steel

underskinned of the limo.

The final obstacle is the drive shaft.

I'm going to heat up the

plan, so, and then hit

it with the lead hammer

so we can loosen the bolt,

take the drive shaft now.

Rock got it, but that's

not working at all.

Before the drive shaft

is put back into service,

it will be cut and

modified to transmit power

from the engine to both the

pump and the rear wheels.

Wink's new perspective gives him a

better idea for opening the limo's room.

We're going to cross there, cut to

seam, and then cut to seam back that way

and make it fold back that way, because

then you got the window going up there.

That makes that much more room.

And because we don't have to cut

through all those electronics.

Exactly.

The team implements

Wink's plan right away.

We can just put a double on it.

Okay, so we've got cut.

The saw's all makes a quick job of it.

Even Vinny takes a turn

slicing through the canopy.

I am perfect.

Now that's the center of

Mike shows Steve the booty he sport

from the Long Beach Fireman's Museum.

He's a light bar catcher's

Wink's attention.

You know, that's how I saw one of these.

The guy was getting

ready to pull me over.

I'm a hot rodder.

Whether it be hot rod in the Harley, hot

rod in the car, hot rod in a fire truck.

I have more fun than anybody.

Wink Eller is a legend

in the motorcycle world.

His creation holds the speed

record for a bike with a side car.

173 miles per hour, but

he's determined to hit 200.

I enjoy waking up every morning

and going, creating something.

One of the things that really

pushes me is when somebody says,

you can't do that. That's my challenge.

That'll say Fire Truck.

For Wink, every problem has a solution.

Now he has a clever plan for

concealing the light bar.

I'm going to try to make a

What do you call it?

Yeah.

We've come up with an idea.

Make it flip out of the top.

The crew appears to be humming

along in perfect mechanical harmony,

but Mike spots a problem

with his precious

pocket in the measurements on that shaft.

What's missing is the vital

connection and output shaft.

It will connect the pump to the

standard drive shaft in a rear

and allow the car to dry.

Mike found a gear piece in the

pierce yard, but it doesn't fit.

It's now I can tell you right now that

this output shaft is the wrong one,

which has got this one laying

on the ground out there.

This should be a female.

Finding this part won't be easy.

The way to find out

what pump model this is,

or pump trans this is, is to read one

of these two plates that's missing.

We can hook up the pump,

make the pump work.

We can't make the pump work without it.

But the car will move.

You guys want to wrap this up

or you want to work all night?

At 10 to midnight, the

weary crew calls it a day.

This guy is a good

team. He's musted, guys.

I don't know where we got him

from, but there's a bus in it.

The build team bused

along on their first day,

but pump problems could

paralyze their progress.

Tomorrow, the pump must go in

with or without the proper parts.

Once to garage factory,

in the first century BC,

the Roman fire department

employed 7,000 firefighters.

We're going to get in the first.

Day 3, the limo is scheduled

for a pump trans plant at 8 am.

Sharers at anything, boys.

I think we're going to

get in from the bottom.

Lift the car up, shift this over there

and then sit the car down on top.

There you go.

It'll fit between the frame rails.

It'll fit.

She rolls in easy.

The monster boys have their

work cut out for them.

We don't want to bend that.

The plan is to get the pump

wedged onto the lift first.

Then attach to the limo's frame.

After propping one side

of the pump in place,

they will use a three-ton floor

jack to raise the other side.

We're getting close to being

on the crank with the lift.

It's pure brawn versus cast iron.

It's the crew attempts to

push the pump into place.

Whoa, hang on.

I think we have just maxed out the lift.

And you pull the pad off.

With a 5,500-pound limo and a

pump that weighs who knows what,

the lift has reached maximum capacity.

I think the two fat ladies have said,

or they're not fat ladies,

I'll just step out.

It's not lifting.

Maybe I better get out too.

Because we'd be happy to let

me throw that pump to fit.

Minus-mic and Paul, the

lift begins to rise.

There we go.

Now we're on.

They're on, but they're not in.

But they're resting on the lift.

Now they need to brace

it on the limo's frame.

I want to get under it.

The monster crew scronges some

old tires for a makeshift stand.

They lower the pump onto the tires,

whose rubbery flexibility is

about right for the next task.

Okay, now we're clearing.

We're wedging in the bracing.

Lift, lift, and show your lungs of those.

11 gauge 2x4 steel tubing

will support the pump's weight and

allow Lisa to weld it onto the frame.

If the pump crashes down,

somebody's going to lose a finger.

But after a few tense

moments, they get it in there.

There we go, we go on that bench.

Yeah, just a little.

Okay, okay, okay, okay.

Watch my hands under it.

Okay, all right, there you go.

Oh, my, no, my.

Are we good?

What?

What?

How's it, sir?

I've gotten from five to six to seven.

Oh, okay, it's 1500 pounds.

1500 pounds.

So by the time I'm done with the project,

I'll probably be right with you.

I've got to do it.

That's why it's as much as a car.

Lisa welds the bracing in place.

And Mike explains what the

heck this month of metal does.

Now, when we get to where we want to be,

and we hook up to a hydrogen source,

we switch this into pump.

And now I'll start

driving the rear wheels.

It's going to operate this section,

which is the pump transmission.

Our hydrogen water is going

to be coming in this way.

The impellers are driven

by the pump shaft.

Speeds the water up, pressurize it,

and then out into the discharge manifold.

And then from there, the waters

either going to come out this hole,

or there's an equal hole right here.

And from here, we're

going to run our plumbing.

We do have tape.

Glasses are welded by braille.

Braille may come in handy

when wink goes blind.

So Stephen Wink worry that the

pump may drag on the street.

Look how much is hanging down below.

See that blue transfer case hanging down?

That's blue the frame rail.

We may have two put bigger tires on it.

Let's set the car down and

see what the suspension does.

Yeah.

It's cool.

It's holding it.

It is holding it.

Six inches is plenty of ground

clearance in the monster garage.

Yeah.

It's going to run like a candlelight.

Like a candlelight here that's leaking.

18 inch wheels will get

them out of this jam,

but a greater problem will be

getting power through the pump

and out to the rear wheels.

Since the power will have

to drive through the pump,

this vehicle will need two drive shafts.

We have a super short little

drive shaft that will drive

from the transmission

into the water pump.

This part here goes on the

output of the water pump.

Then we can drive straight through

the transfer case to the rear end

and when we throw the lever,

we'll pump in the water.

But what we need now is the parts.

Steve was born near Birmingham,

England and moved to America in 1988.

I started linework speech up in 1994.

Literally an Englishman

living in the American dream.

If I set myself a goal,

I'm going to do it.

Like this here is perfect for us.

It's not going to be this.

It's the machine against us.

Acting on a hunch, Winchery

moves the rear drive shaft

to see if it will fit in front

between the engine and the pump.

Yeah, yeah, we're out. Perfect.

So now we're good on.

So we're looking at it.

We walk over here and up.

We start measuring up, guess what?

The back drive shaft fit perfect

from the pump to the trance.

We don't have to cut a front drive shaft.

The rear drive shaft now is in the front.

Is in the front?

He loves it.

That's great.

No, it's been right today.

Yes, it's been. It's a front drive shaft.

Freebie. Freebie.

Rebie.

Freebie.

No, we're not going to be that smart.

No, don't think.

The team was hot on day

three, but as day four begins,

the crew still needs a design

for raising the water cannon.

Winged has an idea.

Who's that push, Bruce Matt?

The brooms sweeping movement

demonstrates that an articulating

or hinging action could be

used to raise the monitor.

So we're going to be a framing

that it impinges from all the way.

Yeah, it's going to go in this morning.

One quick sketch locks in the details.

The clam shell opens up on the top.

The son of the roof goes forward.

The monitor will come up through the top.

You know what, a monitor is?

A monitor, an articulated

mounting for a nozzle,

which permits a stream of water to

be played in any desired direction

as in firefighting.

The person will be able to stand

up back here in manned monitor.

And it's time to build the

broom inspired A-frame design.

The boss, they're the full welding.

Lisa lets the sparks fly as

she fuses the metal braces.

This is where the mounts can be.

sh**t the water off.

No, I'm just joking.

A monster problem becomes

a monster solution.

Oh, why me?

It's sir.

Check this out.

Oh, my god.

Oh, my god.

It's dead level with the roof too.

I'm not sure who you are.

Oh, my god.

Okay, wait, say, who's back?

No.

The monitor goes up under wing power.

And hydraulics could make it rise.

But Steve thinks an electric

linear motor is a better solution.

The others agree.

So Steve goes in order, is it?

Meanwhile, Paul is getting

frustrated in the trunk.

I want to hit something with this.

This is just too cool, man.

I've been to gearheads

since I was a little boy.

Go out and tear apart the Aslan

motors and anything I get my hands on.

As a wild teenage gearhead,

Paul had a brush with death

and his custom camera.

I launched it to that

side of the car there.

And when I landed in the

field, instead of rolling side,

I went in over in.

Then I break in my neck, fight places.

I remember coming to it

the one hospital in that.

I look up and there's a priest, you know,

a little small town

priest similar to that,

doesn't he?

He's over the time he's doing all this.

I kind of hope that when I say,

yeah, for that I ain't ready.

Okay.

Simple little things turn out to be,

maybe it doesn't, it's all

the weight for the tools

we're going to put up here.

The truck doesn't want to stay open.

There's a sheet of that, that's it.

Perfect, that's it, that's it.

Wake still insists on welding by Braille,

but Lisa's on safety patrol.

She explains that the

right welding lens is key

to protecting your vision.

Well, when you start to art,

that's why your eyes are at night,

are they really tired?

So let's use my number 10.

This right here, art world is

10 times brighter this time.

It creep by left, middle, wash

the difference in your eyes.

So those actually should

thread directly to that.

I'm here?

Yeah, so if you want

to mount that one flush

with the back of your box,

okay, what we've done here

is my brackets for the inlet valve,

so we can connect up to the fire hydrant,

the water comes in here.

Well, just down, just sit up.

Oh, wait.

I mean, yeah, that's what's going to say.

It's nice and easy to grant.

You got to be more room to grab it.

Yeah, that's where she's

going to go in there.

Upward.

Wake reveals his latest scheme.

A design to make the entire limousine

transform at once.

Open that up.

But here's what we're thinking.

One button.

When we push the button

to open up the moonroof,

then it makes everything else work.

The rest of the stuff all over.

I said the lights go in as well.

And the lights will come on.

That's it, simpler, the better.

Yeah, I think we're doing all right.

We're not going to doubt, you know.

It's kind of a lot of crap to have to

put in the back of that limo, you know.

All units be advised.

Big Swag, still here.

We have a five-alarm fire

blazing at downtown Long Beach.

Jesse James and his monster

posse here about to ride

for the flame-fighting

showdown, so don't move.

Monster cries will be right back.

Day five, the pump is in.

The roof is cut and the plans are set.

But not a single pipe has been plomed.

The output shaft is missing and

the water can and is yet to rise.

With only two days left, this

crew needs a fire lit under them.

We got two days left.

No pressure, no fun.

Mike solves the plumbing puzzle.

Or does he?

Is that like a fluid?

So, we'll come out this

discharge and we'll lie

this one up and over that

manifold, up and over.

We've got a good

understanding how all that

works and everything, how

we're going to plan it.

We'll do it out, don't I'll say yeah,

we're putting you in charges that did.

When complete, hydrant water will be

sucked in through the inlet valve,

accelerated and then sent to

the monitor and hand lines,

throttling up the car's engine

will sh**t the water further.

Jesse appoints Mike the pontiff of pipe.

Loving, plumbing!

They're going to be a

lot of cutting and a lot

of welding because every

time we have a joint

or change of direction

in the plumbing, that's

going to be a half to

be a complete circular

weld all the way around the

pipe and have a water type.

Not my problem, because

I've got the welder.

But Lisa Lajon is the welder.

Welding is the art of fusion.

Lisa learned welding at

the tender age of 17.

A whole aura of welding, it just captivated

me how tough and dense metal was,

but then with a little heat, you could

shape it and twist it, light a torch.

You actually just cut this metal and it

was easiest cutting a steak with a knife.

Lisa is used to being the

only woman on the team.

Her mother's advice has been her guide.

My mom says Lisa, you never have

to say how good you are or compete.

Your work is going to speak for itself.

Let your weld be your signature.

Do you have to weld well?

While Steve measures and Paul grinds,

Mike grabs another tool, the phone.

He still doesn't have the output shaft.

Tomorrow is the last build day and time

has run out for the part to be shipped.

We only have $3,000 to work

with total for the whole car.

So is there any way you think you could

find this one, a used one or cheaper?

Finally, Mike realizes

there's only one way

to get the output shaft

in time and on budget.

We might not have to make it, or

you might have to make it as thick.

If I go over to Jessie's and all the

machine, all those pieces that we need,

but I gotta taste, I'm

gonna take me all day.

Really? It's, I mean,

that's a lot of work.

I mean, I gotta

It's a lot of work. You

gotta have that piece.

Yeah, we did it in the water without it.

Yeah, we could put them but

become derived. That's right.

We gotta machine this for this bearing

and once this bearing can fit in here,

and then I gotta make a housing,

because since we can't locate a housing.

Or just make one.

So week heads over to West Coast Chopper's

to borrow Jessie's machining tools.

While week gets to work on Jessie's

turret blade, the crew labor's on.

Now, let me ask you this, you can

load it to this one thing, right?

Mike and Lisa team up to

tackle a tangle of tubes

that will feed the firehouses

and finish the flames.

Week's first task is a gender change

for the output shaft, male to female.

He drills out a space with a bearing.

I'm not going to do it.

Steve Shatter's the privacy window.

Bacca.

Well, we don't have to.

Oh, we can almost break it eggs.

But nothing will keep him from

getting his bloody light bar in.

No, we're just bustling on the cold.

I'm gonna get that hungs and

I, I'll be happy camping.

The hard work and sleep deprivation

makes the crew a little giddy.

Come on, come on, come on, come on!

Come on, come on!

Come on!

Come on!

Quality bikes are us, old boy.

Steve sees some technology

he can borrow from this bike.

A $10 outlay at a yard sale.

Rip this b*stard apart.

We're going to try and use this sprocket

here and the chain to

operate the light bar.

This is going to be the drive.

In the middle of the light

bar bracket, which is up here,

that's going to be the drive from a

light bar to turning it from a roof.

Into a light bar.

And that's going to swing

with the light bar in there.

I hope so.

You want to hit this?

I have no idea.

Putting doubt aside, Steve pushes on.

From a chunk of solid aluminum,

Wink sculpts a custom

made protective housing

for his newly fabricated output shaft.

The big deal was.

Meanwhile, Mike and Lisa have

some unplanned welding incidents.

It's just a figure on the welding g*n.

There's just some scares of sh*t on me.

Oh, oh.

That's it.

Just shot out the hole.

I've sensed all my hair.

You're right.

It's therapy.

Some people spend $1,000 going to

psychiatrists at the feet of the hammer.

There we go.

Just sitting out into stone.

Just going to center it.

Put a washer on a chain

and then she's done.

Steve helps Mike with the plumbing.

It spots a wee problem.

This is going to water coming out of it.

What?

Second, no water coming out of it.

No hole in the gasket, dude.

Mike forgot to cut a hole

in the center of the gasket.

No water is going through this thing.

Monster garage mantra.

A gasket, a gasket.

Put a hole in this gasket.

Hey, could you have somebody's

f*cking pay attention now?

That would have totally screwed us.

Oh, dude, I mean.

Slight over sight and Michael's part.

Don't!

Three.

Fixed.

Perfect.

Look at that.

It doesn't have to be symmetric.

Mary's gone all in it.

Do we had to unbolt and bolt those flanges

like four or five times before we could

still look on them on?

Wink puts the finishing

touches on the housing.

The output shaft fits in the housing,

but will it work on the pump?

Here comes the Winkster at

the end of a 16 hour day.

Wink returns with the machine part.

Here I'm working with limited time.

Believe it or not, when

this thing was hot.

He had 5,000 clearance.

And now that it's cooled

off, it came right to it.

Right to a thousandths in a half.

And that means it'll be perfect on there.

Jesse and Wink approve of Lisa's welding.

The plumbing looks good, looks like.

Yeah.

The same height.

He's pretty healthy.

Yeah, and that's some.

There's one she's making.

The monster crew installed some

plumbing and machine to new park.

But there's only one day left that's

going to take every ounce of energy.

And a little bit of luck to

complete the flamfighter on time.

A monster garage factoid.

A typical pump or fire truck

costs more than $450,000.

A monster garage budget?

$3,000.

Day six.

It's judgment day for the building team.

Yet nothing is completed.

The light bar doesn't spin.

The monitor has not risen.

And the pump is still dry.

They haven't till sundown.

Or this mission is a complete failure.

It's a real crunch day today.

All this skill and fabrication

and welding experience.

And we're all just plumbers.

We're on a mission.

A crucial package arrives tonight.

The key thing is simple.

We're going to use a 500

pound 12 inch travel.

And then a motor.

To raise the monitor, flip

the lights and open the lid.

This little wimpy thing

is going to do that.

But Mike is not so sure.

The weight we have could

fracture this piece of glass.

That's designed to lift 500 pounds.

Unbelievable.

The crew hastily installs the motor.

It's alive.

There are all those nice things now.

Diamonds.

Done.

Deal, Neil.

Hold up, Neil.

This little motor has a

lot more lifting to do.

The monitor, the roof, and the

light bar still must be attached.

We're going to shorten this thing up.

It's too heavy.

We're going to burn this thing up.

Is that what I want?

I think.

Wink saves weight with a

shorter lighter nozzle.

Then talks himself into liking it.

I think it looks cool like that.

With that crumb?

Steven Wink rigged the light bar,

monitor, and roof to operate as one.

But the little motor that could can't.

Wink's got another idea.

One little stretch along the way.

Paul makes a run to the superstore.

And picks up the hardware to

implement Wink's inspiration.

Garage door springs.

What we're doing now?

Well, we need some rocket.

We're going to take our door

springs down for the framework.

Up to the counterbalance bar.

To help the linear motor.

But it's not a counterbalance.

It's just because all the extra

weight we're putting on this screw.

Anything will help.

Okay.

Let's see how good it goes up.

Oh yes.

Let's better it.

Let's get it.

Up to the bar.

Up to the bar.

Up to the bar.

Up to the bar.

Up to the bar.

Up to the bar.

Like a proud pop, a Wink

shows off his creation.

Look at that.

That's just amazing.

He drilled the holes

in his shop overnight.

And it's ready to install.

What will it work?

Everything in the gate.

Let me even need a shoe.

Check it out.

Look.

Oh God.

Five, five, five, five.

Perfect.

We'll go.

Soon as I get this tightened up,

we can crank up the car.

Make sure the pump works.

Pretty bad time to make

sure the pump works.

We're ready to fire.

Going to do it.

Kick the top.

We like to fire.

Bad.

Okay, I'm in neutral now.

Okay.

I'm going to drive for a second

and then pull it right back out.

Yeah.

The pump works.

Hey man.

It's pumping.

It's pumping air.

It doesn't last.

I'm going to put you up.

Up to the bar.

Wink grinds her into drive.

There.

It's in.

Full.

Get ready.

Up to the bar.

Once the rear drive shaft is connected,

the rear wheels will turn.

Success.

This was the first major

milestone that we've had.

But this milestone,

we couldn't reach it until we've gotten

everything else done to this point.

So it was a duradide project.

And we know we're going to do now.

That's awesome.

That's awesome.

That's awesome.

Big dog.

All of you guys.

Is that a room?

We haven't even seen a

drop of water going over

there.

That's right, Mike.

Don't like the cigars yet.

Daylight is fading fast.

All we're going to do now

is put the drive shaft.

Then we go to the next step.

Make the back wheels turn.

Paul cuts the old drive

shaft down to size.

While Wink conjures up a trick to

make it to the output shaft he made.

Well, it washers on it.

Ben in the arc.

So it'll take up the

gap between this size.

Now it's going to drive in place.

And then that's going

to center everything.

And then we'll just weld it up.

Wink wells it up and tries to

bash the piece with a lead hammer.

But it takes something more

primitive than that to drive it home.

That's beautiful.

As the team puts on the final touches,

they make bets on how far they'll

be able to sh**t the water.

There is a flurry of activity

in the monster garage.

We've got to get this hose in the car.

The Jesse scores pre

-rims from KMC wheels,

but the tires cost a pretty petty.

They're left with 93

dollars and 33 cents,

just enough for their favorite beverages.

Cool.

Last well before the test.

The last weld fuses and the team is done.

It's time to put the rubber to the road.

She's a puker.

There it is.

I think we will refill it.

We'll still move it.

Just a little back and forth

shimmy and the limo is free.

Here's the 100.

Here's the 100.

This tape liner.

Weat guides the monitor

stream to over 130 feet,

surpassing the 100 foot standard.

This is fun.

The team has given it their all,

but tomorrow is a new game.

The fire is real and the

competition is fierce.

The weary crew will sleep hard tonight,

wondering if there was anything

else they could have done.

Late at night, while the

exhausted crew sleeps,

Tom Prood puts his finishing

touch on the flame k*ller.

Go ahead and lay down a base coat

of house color blue blood red.

We're about three jars of ice for a one.

Then house color camp with this fire red,

man it is bright flake.

When I go in and lay some

down here on this limo,

you get an idea what's

going to look like,

put some ice for a

little bit of fireball.

Well in that pretty.

The master chef turns

his recipe into reality,

working all night to get it just right.

Monster garage factoids,

President George Washington

was a volunteer firefighter.

He joined the Veterans Fire

Engine Company in 1774.

Ladies and gentlemen,

welcome to another

Monster Garage Challenge,

the big swag of my co-host

Frankie Whiteside here,

and we are ready for

the biggest barn burner

in Monster Garage history.

You're way kid and swagged.

We got a four alarm fire.

He's falling in his pit thighs,

where the structure fire 1,

five zero long straight.

The long beach fire department has

been called in and guess who else?

The Monster Garage crew

is responding as well.

Jesse James and his

crew in their blood red,

1996 Lincoln Town Cartridge,

will be ready in the

race to the fire resolve.

So swag the key is the long beach

fire department has the experience,

but this Jesse and his crew have

the know-how to crush the baseline.

Well it's Nick and Nick through

the mean streets along each blue

will get to that fire first.

It looks like the long beach fire

department is in the lead swag,

but what is this?

A movie ban is in the

middle of the street.

This is going to cause

problems for both teams.

That's not allowed to stop that place.

That's not allowed to stop that truck.

Every second counts here

property allies are at stake.

And the metrics through the long

beach fire department won't finish.

They will just find alternative

route to get to that fire.

And grab it.

That narrowed the on-linked

squeezes by the storm truck

and searches into the lead.

The crimson continent will be

the first on their scene frame.

Our car is on fire.

Our building is on fire.

The whole place is on fire.

Long beach is burning.

But where is the long beach

fire department there?

No way to be seen.

Well here we go.

The proof is in the pumping.

Will this much to garage

creation put out the fire break?

Swag check out Jesse's

black tie battalion.

They're dressed to put out a fire and

then head straight to the Academy Awards.

The hose has been

hooked up to the height.

The water is heading to the pump.

Will it work?

A couple of years ago.

Holy smokes. There it is.

The water is no match

for that monster blaster.

The inferno is no match

for that monster blaster.

Humping out 25 gallons of water a second.

Swag that pump is throwing 110,

120, 140 feet into the air.

It's tame at that flame and beast.

Well Jesse is putting out

the fire in the building.

His crew in the back with their secondary

hoses is making shambles

of that car on fire.

No problem at all.

And finally, long beach is finest.

Have arrived on the sea.

But it's too late.

There's nothing left but ashes.

Jesse and his death recruit.

Right by victorious.

That has got a hurt Frank for the

legendary long beach fire department.

Second place is a slap in the face.

Well Jesse's got no time for barbecue.

So we need roast.

Cause the next challenge

awaits in the monster garage.

With the dorms open.

These ordinary cars become

extraordinary machines.

Watch the sparks fly as vehicles go under

the torch of our most

talented transformers.
