11x01 - The Outlaw

[bunniefuu]

He's not very pretty
to look at,

but at least he holds it good.

We discovered there's
a few pinholes.

Well, more than a few.

I'm sure there's some
Porsche guy somewhere

that's like, "Don't cut that!

That's wrong!"

Blind following
the blind here.

The engine's in!

Wow!

Kenny, I'm glad
you can't smell. I'm sorry.

You're a regular old mechanic
over here, dude.

You just whack the [bleep] out
of it with a big stick.

Once a car starts
looking like a car,

it's, ooh, I want to drive it.

How all that's left
is the rest of it.

Yep, not too bad.

[opening theme music playing]

[Dave] When I look at
a blank canvas,
I see endless possibilities.

As the ideas come to mind,
the lines start to fall
into place.

And before you know it,
we have a bitchin' ride.

A bitchin' ride
has intense color.

-This is gorgeous.
-Performance.

It's fantastic.

[Dave]
Stance, wheels, sound.

There's one thing that makes
our car stand out.

Ours are bitchin' rides.

-It never gets old.
- man laughs]

This is a 1959 356A coupe.

It's beautiful.

Howard k*lled it
on this metalwork.

I mean, just do you remember
it when it came in?

-There was Bondo like this
on that car.
-No, no.

I remember when it came in,
it was a patina red card.

-It looked pretty damn good.
-[Kevin] It was nice.

But think about how
much faster this is going

to be without all
that body filler.

-Without all that body filler.
-Yeah.

[Kevin] Yeah.

[Dave] You know, really,
the big chore of this car

has just been getting it back
into good shape.

[Kevin]
The hardest part about tearing
this Porsche down is going

to be deciphering where
the rust stops and starts.

[Dave] So all of this metal
needs to just be repaired
or replaced.

Almost all the rust is cut out
now, so just putting in

new panels until
there's a car again.

Going to have all new floors.

New rockers, inner and outer.

I mean, it's going to have
a lot of new everything.

It's like you're at the point
where there's too many pieces

of the puzzle that
you have to fit.

The only downside to
a large patch like this

is it can create some
extremely long welds.

There's two foot, four foot.
[bleep]

This guy is close to six feet.

This is as long as I am tall.

[Dave]
Pulled the bumpers in tight.

We closed them in
a little bit.

Is that custom trim?

[Dave] Yes, on the bumpers
and on the rockers.

-[Kevin] That looks good.
-Custom mirrors.

[Kevin]
Those are CF1 mirrors, yeah?

-Yeah.
-It's so cool.

-We did the alloy deck lid.
-Right.

-With the added lubers,
which is really trick.
-[Kevin] Yep.

It's going to rip, too.

Yeah, check this bad boy out.

-Wow.
-[Kevin] Look at that thing.

-[Kevin] Isn't that cool?
-Gnarly.

It's like a Porsche engine,
but like a little baby one.

It's...

It's like a Volkswagen Beetle
motor, but like a giant one.

I always say a car
is a lot more fun to drive

when it's been hot-rodded.

What they call
a hot-rod Porsche

is actually called an Outlaw.

[Kevin]
I can't wait to see this thing
painted and, like,

with some vintage
cool interior in it.

[Dave]
Yeah, I'm so excited to see
this thing done, though.

That's going to be awesome.

[Dave] The paint,
the interior, the engine bay,
all detailed out.

To hear it roar
and to drive it down the road,

well, I can't wait.

I'm getting goosebumps
as we speak.

And you know what?
The metalwork on this
thing looks so good,

I think that the bodywork
should go pretty quick.

[Kevin] No, I agree.
It really knocks it out
of the park.

I mean, they touched
every panel just to save

-Right.
-the car, so.

With every worthwhile
pursuit in life requires
some hard work,

all of the hard work paid off.

We're about to find out
what happens

when an Outlaw
becomes a Bitchin' Ride.

That's an outcome
I cannot wait to see.

[upbeat music playing]

[Kevin]
The metal fab on this Porsche
was so precise,

the bodywork has to match it.

You gotta remember
how this comes apart.

It's been, like,
ten minutes in showbiz time

-since I worked on it last.
-Yeah.

Do you remember how
the motor comes out?

[Will]
So getting this little Porsche
engine out, I mean,

it's kind of a trick
because the engine bay

is really, like, closed in.

You can't pull the core
support or anything

and have a bunch of space.

But, you know, we've done it
a million times before.

[upbeat music playing]

Before it goes to paint,
all the rest of the parts

are labeled exactly so we know
where everything goes

when everything is shiny.

[Will] So this is a pretty
wild engine for this
little Porsche.

It's pretty wild because
it's basically a big Porsche

six cylinder that has
four cylinder case

and crankshaft.

So it's a four banger with
all the late model

six cylinder double overhead
cam kind of configuration.

So way better heads
on this thing

than would have been original.

[Kevin]
We don't always have
to put cars on rotisserie.

This is a smaller size car.

You can get to the whole
top side of it.

And we are doing more of
a European Rocker Schutz

on the bottom.

So we don't need to flip
the car, per se.

So we're going to go ahead
and do the top,

and then we'll just do
the bottom.

And a cart works perfectly
for this process.

On the menu today
is sushi, lobster,

crab legs.

No, we're gonna paint
a '59 Porsche.

[upbeat music playing]

It's pretty straightforward,
except the bottom of the car

not being on a rotisserie.

Can't really rotate it,
so we're gonna have to do

something fun and crawl around
on the floor.

All right, I guess
we're good to go.

I don't know where
Chris is at,

but you always gotta have
your hose manned.

He's not very pretty
to look at,

but at least he holds it good.

[laughs] See where he's at.

Without being
on the rotisserie,

the car may be a little bit
harder to paint,

but my painter is top notch,
and he can handle it.

[upbeat music playing]

Messy.

Well, they need to quit
making paint suits in white.

-It has a good color.
-I like that.

Painting on the stand
is a little harder

because you've got to actually
crawl around on the floor

to get the bottom of the car.

With the rotisserie,
you can do a whole shimmy

of this angle, this angle.
You can do a slight this way.

Yeah, I had to crawl
around a bunch.

And when you're spraying
like this,

the g*n doesn't want to let
the material out because

it's too bad of an angle.

Being on the car,
it's not a big deal.

It's actually a little helpful
because you can get
to the roof.

You can do the whole car
pretty easily.

With the bottom of the car,
you're going to have

to get quite bendy.

[upbeat music playing]

As soon as the sealer goes
down, it reveals something.

It reveals any flaws,
any pinholes in it.

[bleep]

[bleep]

We always have a couple
pinholes,

but we did discover
a few on this one.

I think we need to put
another coat of sealer on.

To to bury some of 'em.

The sealer stage is
the most important for

pretty much the whole rest
of the paint job.

You have to make that sealer
lay down really nice.

It can't be dry.

We got to have even coverage
over the whole car,

and that's going to make
the base lay down really well.

And then on top of that,
when you put your clear on,

it's not going to be as hard
to put the application on.

[dramatic music playing]

Throw some more sealer on it.
Sand.

It is a lot.

Alternative plan?

We can try to seal it again.

Just put enough on there
so we have something to sand.

Oh. I just always like putting
base on it and sanding that.

We're going to have
to sit here for a while
tonight fixing those.

Yep. Gonna put some more
on it then.

Yeah.

All right. All right.

[bleep]

I didn't want to hear that.

[upbeat music playing]

We discovered there's
a few pinholes.

Well, more than a few.

So we're going to end up
having to put another coat on,

try to fix those a little bit
before we go to base,

get them flattened out.

Because we don't want to waste
a bunch of paint material.

We'll get those fixed
and then we'll start basing.

[upbeat music playing]

We can tell we got lots
of sanding to do.

Easy fix.

You just got to go in,
sand it, fix them
a little bit.

It's not a big deal,
but we have to take care
of them

before we go to clear,
because if you clear it

and you didn't get them
all covered,

there are just going to be
little holes all over
the place.

[upbeat music playing]

-Let's get all
the pinholes out.
-Oh, yeah.

She's ready to go.

Much better now,
a couple more coats

and we're ready for paint.

[upbeat music playing]

[Shannon]
Yep, we're all done.

Clear's on and it's ready
for the polish guys.

[upbeat music playing]

This car is a little
complicated for how
simple it is.

Don't really know what
the heck I'm looking at.

Because German engineering.

This is just to keep the tank
from getting scratched up.

The other thing it does too
is it keeps it from buzzing.

I'm sure there's some
Porsche guy somewhere

that's like, "Don't cut that!

That's wrong!"

I don't know any better.
I'm sorry.

Typically, gas tanks are in
the back,

but Germans like to do things
a little different,

so the front's all right.

[upbeat music playing]

I got mine tucked.

Look at how shiny
that is. Ooh.

Now all that's left
is the rest of it.

Yep, not too bad.

-Good luck.
-Thank you.

[grunts]

I like the old cap.

It's nice.

So everything's done
under the hood now.

Now we're gonna work on
the suspension.

[upbeat music playing]

So we wrapped up the spindle
and hub on.

Everything's shimmed,
so hopefully the camber

and caster's gonna be
where we want it.

We got bump stops in
and KYB shocks installed

so we can set our rebound
and ride height.

And yeah, wrapped up.

Surprisingly, everything's
going pretty good.

Now we're gonna get
the control arms

and hubs installed.

Awkward-shaped son of a g*n.
Not even in the ballpark.

Gotta squish these bushings
more.

All right, so I might have
spoken a little too soon.

We're gonna have to run over
to the press

and use that to push
these bushings in.

[upbeat music playing]

Looks like it worked.

So this should do the trick,
but it's going to take

more than just my mitts.

Buddy system, I need help.

My arms are too small.

I can't hold this assembly up
while putting hardware in.

Yeah, buddy.

-Holding.
-[chuckles]

It's really tight.

Do you want me to try
and get this up higher
so it's away from that tube?

Let's see.

Skimming these control arms,
it doesn't take much

to move it a mile,
so it's very finite.

Is that the right word?

Just takes a little bit.
It goes a long ways.

Multitask.

-Yeah,
now I don't have to hold it.
-Okay.

Rotate it. There you go.
And then you're in business.

[upbeat music playing]

Almost there.

All right.

You are through.

-Thank you, sir.
I think I can...
-That's done.

Do you win?

-Good to go.
-Thank you.

That's one arm.

I don't have spring plates in

because we've got to cut
the body off

this little rolly dude.

-Well, they might have.
-At what point do you think

I should tell Kenny I forgot
to put the washer on it?

[upbeat music playing]

We're getting the suspension
in this '59 Porsche,

and I did get the washer in.

Yeah, so I think the next step
is gonna be get this car off

this little stand
and on the lift.

Once we're on the lift,
all this nonsense will be

out of the way, and then
we can get our spring
plates on,

put the rest of
our bushings on,

Get everything hooked up,
and this car won't be far

from sitting on
its own weight.

At this point, the car is
super low to the ground,

so we're going to put it up,
give ourselves a little bit

more room to work on it.

It's super pretty,
and we don't want
to mess it up.

The last thing that
we want to do right now

is give these guys a good
commercial cliffhanger,

so we're going to not mess
this up.

Oh, word?

[upbeat music playing]

Yeah, it's holding on
by like a hair.

Pretty sturdy.

Solid.

I'd trust it.

Now that it's up in the air,
we got a lot more room

and space to kind of work
around and get everything
dialed in.

Onward and upward.

I'll hold on to it just in
case it decides to fall.

Can't go that high.

Uh, can we come back at all?

Yes, we can.

Okay. Going up.

Cool.

-This is way too tight.
-Cool.

That's what I needed.

And my dad told me once,
while we were working on

dirt bikes, swapping axles,
he's like, always.

Life lesson, always lube
your shaft.

That's what he said?

My dad said, use as much lube
as you can, dude.

You went a little light
on that.

The wetter, the better.
I learned that at another job.

-Wham.
-That's a bump stop
sand, dude.

You're a regular old mechanic
over here, dude.

Regular old Porsche mechanic.

Ferdinand would
have been proud.

It looks good, bro.

Anything besides like
domestic seems to be

a little weird around here.

I used to only work
on imports,

but I've gotten kind of used
to the domestic stuff now.

[upbeat music playing]

Well, I was thinking that
I had man hands

and I could just smack it
into place, but turns out,

nah, it's way too tight.

Hell.

I'm not super stoked on
this setup or this design.

I think we need to go back
to the drawing board on it.

We're going to caveman it.

I guess according to factory
Porsche service manuals,

you just whack the [bleep] out
of it with a big stick.

Okay. Hold up.

It's going.

Brute force and ignorance
was the move.

-Still got to go in like
another inch and a half-ish.
-Two inches?

Okay.

In this instance, I think
Porsche did it pretty
different

from what you would see in
a '50s American car.

Pretty sporty, but also
a lot of this stuff

is, like,
later '80s model 911,

so pretty different from what
I'm used to with these guys.

-What do you think, Austin?
-It looks pretty good.

So we got the axles in,
we got the struts in.

I'm hoping the rest of this
is going to go together

a little less, you know,
hammer-needed.

Uh, hoping it just bolts
together a little bit
smoother now.

The axle is in.

Just finishing up
this cross member.

And then at some point,
we can start worrying about

putting the engine in.

Special delivery from
the scratch and dent
department.

It's me. Your boy.

We've been making really good
progress on the Porsche.

At this point in the build,
I think that we can go ahead

and move forward with putting
the engine trans in,

or transaxle in.

I got a ton of room back here.

Yeah, I'll keep an eye
on this alternator.

I think we can go towards Bill
a little bit.

Not a ton,
but it's probably good.

Watch your arms,
too, going up.

-Okay.
-Pinch zone.

All right, I am leaning
forwards to get past

-the metal flange.
So keep going.
-Yep.

Do you want me to drop the car
down some more?

That would probably be
a little easier.

-Yeah.
-Okay.

Scream if there's a problem.

Yeah, pull the car down
with the body a little.

-Yeah, Paul.
-Yeah.

On this car, putting
the engine up through

the bottom is the only way
to make it happen.

We're kind of lucky
where we can just
kind of either drop

the body onto the engine
in this scenario

or just lift the engine up.

So I don't know.

Six one way,
half dozen another.

We should be close
right there.

-Hold it. Hold it, Paul.
-Holding.

Yeah, I think we're.

-Oh, yeah.
-Oh.

-Oh, yeah, bud.
-Oh, yeah.

That was a little sketchy.

This is more controllable
right here.

Okay, yeah, there we go.

Yeah, I got mine, like,
probably halfway here.

I got the starter one.

We're missing that one
over there.

Yeah, someone forgot that
this takes four.

We got five guys working on
this thing right now.

Tolerance is very tight,
not a lot of room for error.

So we just got to kind of
take it slow.

Everyone needs to communicate.

If you see something,
say something.

I got a starter, starter bolt
started, and mine started.

I don't know what you're doing
over there,

-but...
-Which way does it have to go?

No, I've got it in, but...

-Get some nuts on 'em,
to at least...
-This side needs to come in.

-This side's out more
than you guys.
-Yeah.

[Kyle] These cars,
I'm not very privy to.

They're cool.
I think they look sick.

But why Porsche put the engine
in the rear, I'm not sure.

You know, it's maybe was
a handling thing

they came up with back
in the day or whatever

the reasons are.

It's kind of what makes them
a Porsche, right?

Put the engine
all the way back.

Call it a day.

I got this starter bolt
over here that I can handle.

That stuff looks like
it's fine.

I don't know, man.

I've never put one
of these in.

-That's a lot of you just did.
-Whoa, whoa, he's got me.

No, Cole and Kenny
are working on drawing.

We're kind of using
the bell housing bolts

to draw the engine
into the trans.

We already know our engagement
is good for the...

the clutch input or
the transmission input shaft

into the clutch because
I can't turn the...

I can't turn the crank anymore
and the transmission's
in gear,

so we know we're good there
and it's not taking much force

to pull the engine towards
the trans.

So...

Once we have it fully seated
in there,

it'll be pretty close
to a point where

we can kind of walk away
and put it all back on Cole.

[upbeat music playing]

-Kenny, how are you doing?
-Pulling in or pulling out?

Oh, he's pulling in on the top
right now.

Okay, we're going
to go with good.

Kenny, I'm glad
you can't smell.
I'm sorry.

[both laughing]

Is that looking
like it's flush?

Uh, you got about an eight.

You're getting pretty close,
though.

It's getting, like,
tight feeling, so...

That one's snug.

[grunts]

-Front's not moving, so...
-[both] Okay.

Well, I'm off on
the trans jack.

Cole's got the jack stand
there.

We're in business
for small business.

The engine's in!

Wow!

Yeah, it was a team effort.

You know, everyone kind of
communicated and made sure

that we put it in
with no damage.

Yes, sir. Thank you, guys.

I literally couldn't have
done it without you.

It actually went smoother
than anticipated,
so I'll take it.

So, yeah, continue.

All right, you guys have fun.

Thanks for tuning in
on today's episode.

Catch you later, nerds.

[upbeat music playing]

In a sea of red,
there's finally blue.

Am I blue?

This is only the second
blue one we've done,
I believe.

I know, but you know what?

This actually, this color
right here just pops like

-nobody's business.
-It does really pop.

-It does really pop.
-That looks great.

[upbeat music playing]

[Dave]
Let's check this bad boy out.

Oh, yeah.

See, I love the color combo
on this.

The carpet looks great.

The color contrast
is just beautiful.

I think Rich is going
to lose his mind.

-Yeah, totally.
-This just looks awesome,
though,

with the inserts that
they've done on this

and the small details.

I mean, obviously,
they're a production car,

but they're still coach
built, right?

[Kevin] Well, and like I said,
and being number 14, I mean,

you know, everyone
keeps throwing the word out,
production car.

Like, this is still...

a coach-built, hand-built car.

Every single one
of these takes a little tweak,

a little twist,
a little grinding here
or there,

-whatever it takes
to make them all go together.
-Right.

But we are getting better,
and we are getting faster.

I would definitely agree
with you on getting better
and faster.

Man, this thing's beautiful,
though.

The paint looks beautiful.
The polish came out nice.

The upholstery's button tight.

It's just like we told
Rick Cox when we did
number one and two.

I mean, two is always better
than the first one.

And hence, 14 is better than
probably both one and two.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But don't tell them that.

So number 14,
she's all dialed.

She's all good to go.

The transport should be here
at some point today.

-Oh, good.
-You haven't driven it.

-Oh.
-It's all yours.

Hey, you don't have
to ask me twice.

[Kevin] Let's rip, dude.

Let's rip, tater chip.

This car feels real tight,
though, yeah?

I love it.
I think the car feels great.

[Kevin] Steering's good.

-Yeah.
-[Kevin] Pickup's good.

[Dave]
The handling is perfect.

The AC is blowing nice
and cold.

You know, that's funny.

It's like, people are like,
oh, this is a Roadster,
it has AC.

Like, this is crucial.

Right.

For a summer drive, like,
you got the sun on you.

Like, to have this nice
cold air blow on you.

Oh, that's great.

Yeah, she rips good.
Nice and tight.

-Yeah.
-It feels nice.

Yeah, I think he's going to
be very happy with the car.

I know I am. I'm really happy
with the way it came out.

Yeah, honestly, I think that
the experiences we've had,

the people that we've met,
and the friendships
we've made,

overall, I couldn't find
anything in the back
of my mind

that could make me happier
than I am right now.

Pretty awesome.

We just got these dialed.
Do you want to change them?

I don't want to get
too comfortable.

Now all that's left is




and then 30.

So Kevin, this is-- Kevin?

Where the hell did he go?

I wonder what 31 is going
to look like.

Bill's over here shredding
wiring, making things work.

[Kyle]
We're making good progress
on this car.

Now it's time to wire it up.

Wiring isn't too crazy
on this car, you know,

we got to plan out where
we're going to put fuse box

and stuff. The only difference
is it's obviously

an air-cooled engine,
so we don't have coolant

to create heat, so this car
does use an electric heater

and we have to account
for the amperage draw on that.

Make sure that the alternator
is going to be able to

not only power that heater
at full blast,

but it also has to cover
all the other electronics

in the car, so electric
fuel pump lights

and all that kind of stuff,
so nothing too crazy,

but we do have to account
for some things.

I'm working on getting
panels on.

We got the engine cover
or the deck lid on it.

I'm going to get
the hood on it.

I'm doing easy stuff,
throwing the deck lid on.

Normally, paint and body
pin holes for us,

so that gives us a really
great starting point.

So we set it on,
throw the pins in,

lock everything down,
and then from there,

we make minute adjustments
to get it to fit just right.

The gaps are super even.

This time, pretty rad.

We put the pins in it,
set everything up,

go to go check our fitment,
and it's perfect.

That's never happened,
not while I've been here
anyway,

and I don't expect that
to probably happen ever again.

-That's pretty rad.
-Not bad.

It makes the car look more
like a car and

kind of gives us a little bit
more motivation.

Once a car starts looking
like a car, it's, ooh,

I want to drive it.

This car in particular,
whenever you feel like

you're making progress,
you're wrong.

Um, you're making
a little bit,

but not as much as
it might seem like.

There's not a lot going
on in this car,

but Das Auto does it different
than the American stuff.

That went way too smooth.

That's given me
some confidence.

I think we're going
to go ahead and move to

the front and do
the frunk now.

And hopefully that just
goes in and doesn't need

any work or any help.

[upbeat music playing]

At this point, this is where
whoever's doing teardown

is super important.

Bagging, tagging, labeling,
everything as far as

how it came apart,
what hardware goes where.

And as long as whoever tore
this down did their job right,

then I should be able to slam
this together in no time flat.

I have all the hardware
and everything I need.

[upbeat music playing]

-Okay, so inside or outside?
-I don't know if it's inside
or outside.

It's got to be inside.

-Inside?
-Looks like it.

Inside seems to work.

The holes.

Give room.

There you go. Right there.

Beam.

Beam in the hole?

Yeah, dude.

In the hole.

These hinges have springs
on the inside of the car?

No springs.

No springs.
What's holding it up?

-German engineering.
-Reverse gravity.

Yeah, reverse gravity, dude.

Magic.

Brace gravity slaps.

Yeah, hopefully this goes as
smooth as the engine cover.

Is it literally pinned?
Set it down?

-Perfect. Walk away.
-That's a first.

I was like, holy moly.
Been working on my dad jokes.

Jeepers, mister,
you're strong.

-Hmm, if it looks like...
-You were gonna put
your finger on that

-and push it out.
-I thought about it
for a brief moment.

I was like...
Hmm.

Okay.

-I'll watch the back edge.
-Yeah.

I'm doing the anti-gravity.

Yeah, you're clear.
Clear, clear.

-Yeah.
-Yeah?

-Yeah. Wow.
-Wow.

[vocalizes] Wow.

Minus not having
the rubber stop up here.

I think they've done it again.

How'd you do that twice?

I got to reach down deep
for that one.

Dude, that's pretty good.

I think that was a...

I mean, the back fits
pretty A-O-K-O.

That's a really nice gap.

Hey, man, if you can keep
pulling [bleep] off like this,

I'll help you anytime,
all right?

Word.

-Well, we're two for two.
-Gap's really good.

Everything lines up.
I don't understand.
This is new.

It's not even, like,
low or high.

I'm not much of
a gambling guy,

but I feel like with two
for two,

I should probably make a run
down South Vegas.

Super good.

Blind following
the blind here.

-Colorblind.
-Can't see [bleep].

As of right now, kind of rad,
we're two for two.

We're going to see if we can
get the doors on same same,

maybe get three for three,
four for four even.

I don't know.

Kevin's under the impression
that these doors are going

to be super easy.

Um, one man operation.

So after the three of us
do this one,

we're going to bring Kevin
over and show us how
you're supposed to do it.

-By yourself.
-By yourself.

Grab that part.

Damn, you're going risky.

Yeah, it's going to be
a tight squeeze.

Why does it have this on it?

[Cole]
So we got to go down, down,
down, down, down, down.

It's going to be really
tight on the bottom
and maybe up here.

I'm not sure.

Okay, Kenny, bring yours down.
You're in.

Holy [bleep].

Down, Kenny?

Yep.

That doesn't really
line up at all.

I think you need to take
some paint off, too.

-No, no, maybe not.
-Well, the top just went in.

The bottom's a mile out,
though.

I don't know how you're going
to do this on a lift.

Well, we got to go way
more open.

And we're already
maxed out, so.

-No, we're not.
-No?

Woo!

Right there.

No, you can only get
the top in right now.

The bottom side does not want.

It's close.

You know it wants it,
but it's not doing anything.

Like horseshoes
and hand grenades.

Sorry, I just touched
somebody's leg.

[indistinct]

Were those pinned?
Those bottom hinges
were pinned?

-Yeah, they're pinned.
-Okay.

They do have some...
[whistles]

-two of them though.
-Even with the pin?

Do we need to pull this out

and clearance those insides
of those?

I think we need to get
this off the lift,

put it forward and then
we can get the doors on.

-Let's just...
-Let's pull this out

and let's, uh, okay,

hold on to that, Austin,
so I can get it.

-Kevin, show me how it's done.
-Let's take that paint.

-Yeah, the insides?
-Yeah.

-Okay.
-I'll grab a roll lock.

Kevin's not here.

We don't know what
we're doing.

Um, paint's catching us
right now.

Basically, in between
the hinge,

he doesn't want
to slip through.

So we're gonna remove
the paint.

Here at Kindig-It,
our tolerances are very tight,

and everything is really,
really, really precise.

We're just gonna get in here
and open this up a little bit,

remove some of that paint
and body filler.

Okay, we'll do it
the hard way.

Okay, that was...

[upbeat music playing]

I don't know if I can flip it.

I think you're good
right there.

-You think that's enough?
-Yeah.

If we can just get that,
let's loosen up,

like you said,
so we can pivot that.

Do we got a short pin that
we can put in there
to keep it?

Taking material off is easy.

If you go too far,
putting material back on,

not so easy.

Want to try a different angle?

-We'll see if this happens.
-Oh, there you go.

Yeah, no, not a chance.

-Yeah.
-Okay.

And that's as far open
as you can go?

Yeah.

Yeah.
We got to get this forward.

We got to move the car.

Kevin's under the impression
that these doors are going
to be super easy.

Frunk and trunk went
super smooth, no issues.

Doors are gonna be
a little more tricky.

Okay, we'll do it
the hard way.

Since this is up on stands
or on the lift right now,

I think it's sagging.

The body's sagging
a little bit.

We got to get this forward.

I think we got to take it off
of all that,

put it back down
on the ground,

and none of that scenario
sounds awesome at the moment.

-Now what?
-We got to move the car.

Because that's the thing now.
How are we going to move it
forward?

Well, it's a lot of risk
in it.

This thing hasn't been off
the lift really

under its own power.

Hey, if we set it down
and then just use

our floor jack
to bring it forward, right?

Yeah, there's a lot that
could go wrong

in this game plan strategy
that we got going on here.

The biggest thing
is just not [bleep] any
of this up in the process.

Right, but if we get it
forward with our jacks

to hold the front end, right?

Set it on the wheels
on the back,

and then we can just
jack stands up.

So it'll roll on the rear,
won't it?

Maybe. Possibly.

-Let's check it,
make sure it's in...
-Neutral.

Go gear and we just
roll her forward.

Yeah, with how everything's
sitting right now, we have it.

This is completely untested.

We don't know
if the tire's clear.

We don't know if
the suspension's gonna
bottom out

and do weird things.

I've never tried to roll it
on its own weight.

I don't know if the tires
are gonna bind up or...

a little less than ideal
at the moment.

Okay, let's test it.

Are we clear on everything
when we put it on its weight?

So let's set it down
and see where we're at.

Like I said, this car has
never been on the ground.

-You're good.
-Lower it down.

Go check that.
You're off right there.

-Go check that side.
-Austin, you got it?

What's up?

We're just making sure
the tire's not hitting
anything.

-Got to see.
-I mean, it's mighty close.

Yeah, it's super close.

Risking it for the biscuit
on this is not the move.

We can put the bump stops in.

That gave us another inch.

That would be the difference
right there.

We got to lift it up.

It's going to scarf otherwise.

I guess we can sit the back
on Go Jack

so we're not worrying about
rolling the wheels.

As long as we don't think
that they would catch

and stop the back,
I don't want...

the front to come off
those jacks.

Let's just set it on
its own weight first and see.

Mo' better?

How's your outside sidewall,
Kenny?

I don't know. I feel like
I need something
to check clearance.

It's tight.

Man, this is what paper
was invented for.

No, I'm not super stoked
on it.

I don't like it.

Um, if anything, go, Jax.

Yeah.

Your paper looks real,
but it's not good.

I'm still not stoked
about that either.

It's the same. It's even worse
on the other side.

The other side's tighter?

It's about as tight.

We're going to move on
to option two.

We're going to have
to do go jacks.

Yeah, I'm fine with go jacks.

If we didn't do go jacks,
I'm not sure we'd get it off
the...

We're just going to have
to be really careful
with rolling it forward.

The little cracks that we do
have to go over.

Moving this very, very pretty
and expensive car around with

a jack that, you know,
we're typically using
to swap tires.

Less than ideal.

I wish Kevin would have
told us about all this

before we started.

-You good, Austin?
-Yep.

Yeah, any, there's cracks,
any movement, wrong movement.

Someone sneezes,
this whole thing's over,

and we're going to have
to answer to Dave and Kevin.

Well, as long as we don't make
it this far, we'll be okay.

-Yeah, don't go that far.
-Don't hit that.

Is this going to clear
that wreck?

-Sway bar?
-Sway bar?

Sway bar is kind of,
sort of in the way a lot,
but...

I wonder if we just
picked it up right.

Well, do we want to lift?

You know Bilbo Baggins?

This is his cousin,
Sketch McBaggins.

Yeah.

There you go. Easy.

God, this is sketchy.
