Twins activate.
I'm a purple...
-What?
-Super twins?
The purple ones
with the monkey?
This is what's wrong
with society today!
Come on, man.
You know what?
Let's just go back to it.
We're bringing the thunder.
Hey!
Guess who's going
to figure this out?
The upholstery genius!
Okay. I'm not gonna lie.
That's never happened.
[Cole]
Outlaw Porsche.
We don't follow no rules.
All handcrafted.
So beautiful!
[man 2]
Doing the thing, Kenny.
[man 3] I got this puzzle.
You got your problems.
You got my problem.
Kevin was right.
Hmm.
We're gonna see if
we get a fire in the engine
or fire out of the engine.
-[engine starts]
-Oh, baby.
Here we go.
[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 a gorgeous!
[Dave] ...performance...
[man 4] It's fantastic!
[Dave] ...stance, wheels...
...sound...
There's one thing that
makes our cars stand out...
ours are itchin' Rides.
-[man 1]
Oh, that never gets old.
-[man 2 laughs]
Well, as long as we don't
make it this far,
we'll be okay.
-[all speaking indistinctly]
-Yeah.
We don't need to go that far.
[Kevin Schiele] Normally,
we don't do things like this.
Normally, cars have chassis.
Normally, there's
jack-up points.
But we need
to get their weight
on the suspension
so we can check to make sure
the doors close properly.
Is this going to clear that...
[stutters]
-Sway bar?
-Sway bar.
The sway bar's kind of,
sort of in the way a lot,
but...
-God, I wonder
if we just picked it up...
-Right.
-Go up right there.
-Right there.
Going up is...
I'm running into
the sway bar...down.
Yeah, just take your pads.
So it's...
-There we go.
-There?
Yep.
Good.
How far in are you?
Okay, go up easy.
This is sketchy. [softly]
Okay, go more still.
About, like, ye?
About, like, ye.
Okay.
You know Bilbo Baggins?
This is his cousin,
Sketch Mc Baggins.
-Yeah.
-Coming down.
[Kevin] You know, we've really
been fighting the doors
on this Porsche.
We've had to grind
some extra material away
just to try to get
the fitment right.
Hopefully, this is the fix.
We'll see.
-Okay.
-Now comes the fun part.
Super sketch.
[man 1] Together now.
-The question is, how do we--
-Are we clear now?
That's good. Yeah.
Now we've got to get it up.
Get it back on race ramps,
stick some jack stands
under the front,
and then we can do the door.
We're like three inches...ish.
Walk over on the side
and grab it,
just like a cool dude.
It's sketchy,
but the car now floats.
Now we're going
to try to put doors on.
And now
we can do doors.
-For real this time.
-It's not gonna
happen otherwise.
We're gonna be standing.
I got the front end,
if you want to...
-grab the back half.
-It will be fine.
-[man 2]
I think it'll be fine.
-A little bit more.
Yeah.
Wow. Right about there.
-That looks good.
-That looks pretty dec.
You go up in the back,
probably there somewhere...
Yeah.
[man 3] Careful right here.
Golden.
What are you talking about?
Oh! Hit him with it.
Look, he can hang doors.
Another one.
Man...
Honestly, for once,
I don't think
it's really that bad
just because it was pinned,
so...
You just gotta hit it.
No, you just gotta
move it as you hit it, so...
Okay. Let's watch this one.
Let's close it. See--
Okay, one second.
Let me get this pin in.
[man 5] I think we just went
past the stop again.
-Oh, man!
-We did?
-Went way past it. Mm-hmm.
-Is it crashed
on the outside of the door?
What about the tops?
[man] The top's tight.
Oh, wee! Mister!
We've gone too far!
-Maybe. I don't know.
-Actually got a gap
in the bottom.
-Actually has a gap now.
-That looks nice.
Are you all the way out?
'Cause this one
feels like it's got less
than the other side.
Yeah, this side right here...
I didn't realize
it was a slotted hole
until you just said that.
-It goes places.
-Yeah, I think it's great.
Everything worked
out perfectly.
The guys
knocked this thing out!
Onward and forward.
Here we go.
Gaps in the back.
Perfect gaps up front.
Perfect.
Heights. Perfect.
So, wait a second.
You're telling me
that somebody did
their job professionally
at Kindig It Design?
[Kevin]
I know, right? [whispering]
It happens all the time.
[Kevin whispers]
All the time.
Is that--
Those are on, right?
-We have oil in the tank.
-Oil's in the tank.
Oil is in the engine,
engine's primed,
tanks filled, gas is in it.
[Dave] Finally,
we're about to fire up
the '59 Porsche,
and it's taken a long
time to get here,
and we are
so excited to hear it.
[exhales sharply]
I'm just gonna
take this in for a second.
When this Porsche originally
pulled into the shop,
we thought it was
in pretty decent shape.
Well, as I said, we thought...
This thing is just awful.
[man] All new floors.
New rockers,
inner and outer.
I mean, it's a lot
of new everything.
[Dave] We tore out
all the bad and put
nothing but good into it.
It's beautiful.
It's gonna rip, too.
Check this bad boy out.
[Dave]
And at last, the engine
is yet another jewelry box.
Gnarly.
And now
if everything goes to plan,
it'll fire up
on the very first try,
like it always does.
Right?
-It's in neutral.
-Neutralis.
We have a gauge.
First attempt.
We're gonna see if
we get a fire in the engine
or fire out of the engine.
[Dave] Hey!
No!
No, like a backfire.
Not like fire, fire.
Not like the screensaver.
Sorry. I'll clarify.
Let's keep the fire
on the inside of the engine.
You know,
there are appropriate jokes
to say in a hot rod shop,
but then,
well, there's others.
-[man] Ready when you are.
-Brace yourself.
[engine starts]
-We got no oil pressure.
-No oil pressure.
No oil pressure.
[scoffs] Well, at least
the car didn't catch on fire.
[man 2] So typically,
it would be in between
the max and the minimum.
It's not even on the stick.
[man 2]
That was just way low.
It sucked her dry.
This jug might say
'65 Mustang.
But just ignore that.
We're adding more oil
that sucks down that dry sump
tank pretty quick.
It's just getting oil
to all of its bits and pieces.
We're going to top it off.
Fire it off again.
And then start
doing system checks,
make sure everything works.
Super-duper don't
want to overfill it.
[exclaiming]
Max line.
So... We had 10...
So we're exactly 15 quarts
in the system right now.
-Nice! Ready.
-[man 3] Ready?
[engine starts]
If Cole's calculations
are correct,
this should run flawlessly.
[Kevin]
Fuel pump checked out?
I don't know.
I thought it would be.
That seemed
like it ran out of gas.
-Yes, it did. I had
over 12 volts charging...
-Whoo!
...and it had,
like 80 PSI, too.
-[Kevin] Whoo!
-Oil pressure and tach worked.
Things are doing things.
-And it's gonna
make all the things work.
-[Cole] Yeah.
You see how long this guy is?
It is long enough.
I'm measuring...
to get a piece big enough
to try to get all the way,
from the front
of the headliner all the way
down to the back of it.
We're doing
a sound deadener,
but you're not
gonna see none of this.
But, I just want to cover it,
make it look nice.
We'll scuff this piece up
and then we'll go in there
and sh**t some glue.
When you scuff it, it helps
the glue stick better.
If you don't scuff,
it doesn't grab.
It's like painting something.
You want a primer.
I gotta get
a good coat on here.
One decent coat...
...could go far enough.
Not too heavy, but...
enough where it's going
to stick really good,
so we don't have
anything falling down.
We got sound deadening in.
This is exactly what it needs.
It's deadened it...
If you do this.
So now what I need to do...
I got this puzzle.
Normally that marked
one through four.
Guess what we got marked?
One through none.
But guess
who's gonna figure this out?
The upholstery genius.
[all laughing]
How's that for TV, huh?
Well, hold on,
don't put an eye out.
Hold on.
Let's chip some paint.
These are the bows.
These are what
holds everything up.
Get in there.
And don't you move!
See you later.
Okay. I'm not gonna lie.
That's never happened.
All right, we're going to go
to number four first.
Now, that one's good.
Okay, gotta be that one.
From here to here,
everything's good.
It's tight.
Oh, yeah, we got it, then.
Boom!
That's it.
I put them exactly
the way they come out.
I guarantee you that.
And I'll promise you
it'll be on the money
'cause we're doing this
with leather, not vinyl.
I'm gonna take
some measurements.
Eight and a half,
and then I'm gonna
lay it out, and...
I'm gonna sew up
a quick pattern,
and I'm just gonna
do what I gotta do.
How's that?
All handcrafted,
all Justin-crafted.
We're gonna build a headliner.
We've got it all
sewn up right now,
and I'm gonna
put these bows in it.
We're gonna go
get this thing hung,
I'll get it clamped
in a few places.
Make sure that
we don't need to make
any adjustments.
It's kind of a guessing game.
Let's see how it looks.
And we'll just very carefully
stretch it from front to rear,
not overstretch it
until I got
all the bowls sitting up...
nice and square.
Okay. Taz, I want you to...
come up here
and hold this right here.
Okay.
I'm gonna tug it in the back
and see what
we're up against it.
Just hold it tight?
-Don't overpull it.
Just kind of hold it taught.
-Yeah.
Looks like it's going
to come out pretty good.
I'm just gonna baby step it
and start gluing.
Normally I'd be in here
just to sh**t and glue,
but I don't want it
to bleed through the cloth
'cause it's good
quality Alcantara.
For a few extra minutes,
not a big deal.
The key here is just
to pull it even,
make sure that all the lines
are going across are...
good and straight.
Then I'll go back in
and take a look
at this, and...
Wow. Okay, but the way
this is set up,
I don't feel good about
leaving that the way it is.
So Justin was really hoping
to wrap up this headliner,
but it looks like we might
be back to square one.
Just really needs
to tape her back hard
right here.
Stupid!
Man, this ain't fun
being 50,
crawling in here anymore.
Good thing I'm in good shape.
I got to just cut back here.
And then where
I have this mark,
I'll flip pattern it
and then just re-sew this on,
and it'll be ready
to go back on.
From there
it should go pretty quick
because everything else
looked pretty good
when we laid it up there.
[Dave]
The headliner was exactly
where it needed to be
until, well, it wasn't.
Upholstery, genius?
[Justin]
Right here's the area
we're cutting out,
and what I'm gonna do here,
I'll take a measurement now...
and do a flip pattern.
A little bit tricky,
and this is just gonna show me
exactly what I
took off one side,
and I'm gonna
take it off the other here.
[upbeat music playing]
I think what
I took out of that front
just by holding it up there
looks like it's going
to be on the money.
It's laying out pretty nice.
Good as gold.
Special day.
We're here in Detroit.
We're gonna see
how paint is made
at the AkzoNobel factory.
I'm so pumped.
All right, buddy.
Here we are.
Pontiac, Michigan.
What are we doing?
We're here to see
how paint's made.
That's right. We're here
at Sikkens AkzoNobel,
and we're gonna
check out the plant.
I can't wait to see this.
-Rosso.
-Rosso!
Yeah.
Hey! How are you doing?
-Good to see you guys.
-Kev Dog.
Nice to meet you, bro.
We spray a lot of your paints.
I was really kind of curious
on how the paint's
actually made.
So this is
what they call pre-staging.
This is where the physical
process really starts, right?
[Dave]
So this area basically
is like the spice cabinet.
Exactly.
So Roja, you have both,
wet chemicals
and then dry chem as well?
-Yes.
-Okay.
So powders and pigments
and the decolorants,
some liquid.
Someone's coming powder,
so we have to mix and grind
for the final product.
One formula can have
between and 10 and 30
different raw materials
that we have to mix to that.
This baby here is what
makes the magic happen.
Our operators go to the pen
on the other side,
put the formulation,
place the tank,
so the machine
starts to dose the color.
So we move it here
on these air mixers,
blend and send
the sample to QC,
where they're gonna
evaluate the color,
make the match.
-And then approve to fill.
-Wow!
The guy given the tour
knows his stuff,
and he dresses the part.
This is like something out
of like Willy Wonka's
chocolate factory.
But for paint.
Is there a chance
we can turn this thing on?
Yeah, for sure.
-This is Kendra, right?
-Hi.
She's our batch maker.
How's it going?
Nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you.
-Kendra. Nice to meet ya'.
-Nice to meet you.
-So, what are you making?
I'm getting ready
to make a white
-going by the FLMA number,
-Okay.
I know it's a white.
Then I see
how many gallons it is
that lets me know
what size tank
I need to put in it.
You have,
like the ultimate paint
mixed machine, period.
-Yes.
-I'm picturing my painter,
like with his little things
and his little scale.
And you have all the colors,
all the valves,
the computer to run it all.
-Yes.
-Awesome.
Thank you. It is awesome.
It is awesome.
We do the work
and then we send it on
to the mom and pops
to do the rest of the...
[exclaims]
Right, right, right, right.
-Like metallics,
and that kind of pearls.
-Yes.
Well, Kendra, I want
to see this machine work.
[Kendra]
All right? I'm trying
to make it work now.
[man] She's setting
the receiver now.
[Kevin] This is crazy.
-[man] Can you hear it?
-Yeah.
Yeah. That's the pumps
sending paint.
That's opening a solenoid
at the main.
[man] The pump is send
the paint through the pipe now
and the solenoid gonna open
and start drop there.
What's the volume
on this order?
-Volume is...
-50 gallons to go.
-50 gallons.
-[Kevin] Oh, wow.
It's already up.
So it's ready to dump.
-[Dave] Boom
There's the binder.
-Wow.
That's the binder.
I mean, 223 pounds of that.
[Kevin]
That is just so cool.
So once the color's made,
where does
this stuff go from here?
We're gonna take
a card sample.
The color lab are gonna
make sure the color match
with the customer needs.
We have the standards.
So they're going
to spray, right?
They're going to compare.
We have a spectrophotometer
to match electronically.
When it's good,
we receive the approval.
-So they're going
to start to fill here.
-[Dave] Yeah.
[Dave] And that
is super cool, Kendra.
-Very nice to meet you.
-Thank you.
Hey, we'll see it in the shop
sooner or later, right?
-Right?
-Thanks, baby.
[Kevin] You know,
in your mind,
you feel like you know
how the paint is made.
But I had no idea
that they make
paint on this scale.
It's amazing.
This is where the smart people
hangout for sure.
-So here's
where we test, right?
-I feel at home.
After we blend there,
as you asked,
the sample come here.
-Here's the expert.
-Okay, cool.
-Hey, guys.
-Hi.
-This is Sally.
-Hi. How are you?
-Happy to be here.
-Nice to meet you.
Very nice to meet you.
Tell me quickly,
what do you do?
[Sally] This is where
everything gets tested,
from the raw materials
that come in...
to the products
that they make,
to the finished clear coats
and primers,
we'll test for adhesion,
cratering,
definitely on a clear coat.
Distinctness of image,
which is D.O.I...
-to make sure the clear coats
are like glass.
-Wow!
We check for
hardness, grind,
particle-size distribution.
We do a water check
on some of our
solvent blends over here
-to make sure
there's no moisture in them.
-Wow, that's super cool.
You get to test everything.
There's way more steps
than I ever thought there was
to making paint.
It's called staying perfect.
Obviously.
-Yeah.
-Yeah.
-We'll be the judge of that.
Let's go do it.
-So...
Okay, so this
is our spray booth.
This is where we spray panels.
These are AkzoNobel robots
built by our tech center
over in Sassenheim.
There's rows of equipment,
there's rows of paint.
There's people walking around
with official badges.
I could get
in huge trouble here.
It looks like
one of the games at the fair
when you're trying to hit
something with a baseball.
[Sally] And they're set up
with different programs,
depending on the product
that you're spraying.
Splashing or mist coat.
You take the variation out.
-[Kevin] The human variation.
-[Dave] The human error.
[Sally] Yes.
So we flash it and then do
the clear coat on top.
Flash and then bake.
[Sally] And take it
out of the oven,
and then rate it
on that spectrophotometer
-or visually look at it.
-Nice.
I love how you took all
of the variables out
by doing this,
but when it comes
right back down to it,
you're gonna look at it
with your eye.
-[Kevin] I find
that the perfect mix.
-[Dave] Or cheat--
Or cheat and look
at the number
-on the back of it.
-[laughs]
-So, anyway.
-[Kevin] This guy's
still upset.
Why don't you tell her
about the time
when you cheated
in miniature golf?
I never cheated
in miniature golf.
I'm a badass.
[Dave] They've already seen
the TV show.
[Kevin laughs]
[laughs]
Now we're going
to main plant
where the big batch are made.
Far out.
-[Kevin] Thank you, Sally.
-[Dave] Thanks, Sally!
-[Kevin] Thank you
for having us.
-[Dave] Thank you.
-[Dave] Great to see ya.
-[Sally] Thank you!
You guys are shipping out
and making about
-11,000 to 13 gallons
of product a day, right?
-A day.
So obviously you have
to have these conveyors
running like nonstop, yeah?
[Russell] Yes. These lines
running three shifts 24/5.
-[Dave] Wow!
-[Russell] All the toners,
primers,
clear solvents and additives
come from this part
of the plant.
[Dave] So we know where
the biggest basic parts go.
I want to see it all
where it goes together.
Okay, so we have
what is called
a pilot plant, right?
Every single new sq
coming from that plant,
-so we make the first trials
before launch of the factory.
-Right, right, right.
So over there you have
a controlled environment
so you guys can see
a little more in depth
how we make.
-[Kevin] Okay.
-[Dave] Let's check that out.
This is our pilot plant,
right?
Whatever we develop here
in terms of finishing goods,
first come here,
we make the batch three times,
before launch the factory.
[Russell] That's a mixer,
right?
So the binders go there.
So the rice and the solvents,
the pigment go inside.
So you need
to [indistinct] that
in a specific speed.
When you hit this speed,
is where the pigments
start to grind and get wet.
You see, it comes
just a [indistinct].
You're gonna
increase the speed there.
They're gonna start
to see the fence
from the vortex.
-[Kevin] Oh.
-[Russell] It's going.
[Dave] Wow, check it out!
-[Dave] Hell, yeah.
-[Russell] Now it's time
to see the action.
[Dave] This is where
the doughnuts are made!
I have safety glasses on.
-Let her rip, tater chip.
-[laughs]
-[Russell] So, you see this?
-[Kevin] Yeah.
-That's when the pigments
start to get grind, right?
-Okay.
So we start
to wear the pigment,
and then when
we finish this process here,
we check the grind,
and then we move
to this equipment here.
Wow!
[Russell] So this
chamber here,
is full filled
with [indistinct] spheres,
a lot of small spheres.
So we pressurize the paint
into the chamber,
grind, get out.
So then depends
on the hardness
of the pigment,
and then what
the color stayed.
More hours, more passes,
or less passes.
Depends what we make.
I don't know
if you know this about me,
but I have one
of these machines at my house.
-Hock Meyer?
-Yeah.
That's bad for you, man.
You know what it is?
I make donut dough with it.
You do not have
a doughnut maker
at your house.
Everyone has
to have goals, Dave.
But not everybody
needs a doughnut maker.
-[indistinct]
-Why would you not?
Doesn't matter.
So once everything's
mixed up in here,
so then it goes over
to packaging them?
-[Dave] Is that correct?
Was that the last step?
-Yes.
[Russell] You saw there
the filling line,
-so we pack in the can,
ship to the DC.
-[Dave] Okay.
-DC then receive
your orders, process,
-[Dave] Mm-hmm.
pick the material
that you need,
load and ship to you.
[Russell] And I hope you guys
know what to do after that.
[imitates g*nf*re]
When someone goes, yeah.
[imitates g*nf*re]
-[Kevin] Let's check out
the warehouse.
-[Dave] Let's check that out.
[Russell] You guys
need the paint,
-all that happening
behind these walls?
-[Dave] Uh-huh.
Come through here.
We store it,
we receive the order, we pick,
and ship it out.
[Russell] So pretty much
around 11,000 gallons
to 13,000 gallons per day.
[Kevin] That's insane!
[Kevin] You know,
touring this factory
has been amazing,
but finally,
we're at the vats.
We're at the packaging.
I'm watching cans of paint,
get stuff in them
and get labels on them,
get in the box and ship out.
This is epic.
[Russell] 2500 lines per day.
It's a lot of volume
come up every day.
[Kevin] We always get it
in a timely fashion,
and it is great.
What a great facility
his is though, man.
It's insane.
Thanks, Russell. Yeah.
Thanks for taking the time,
but since we've been here,
you're down 10,000 gallons.
So you're gonna need
to get back to it,
because we're getting ready
to place another order.
-Oh, for sure, man. Anytime.
-[laughs]
We could do some overcut.
I have way more appreciation
for the process.
They have to go
and triple check,
quadruple check these colors.
Make sure the vats
are gonna be the same.
Make sure the batches
are gonna be the same.
Make sure the colors match.
In super large quantities!
This place is amazing.
And now I know when I come up
with my money color,
what it takes
to actually get into a can.
[laughs]
Come on, little buddy!
[upbeat music playing]
May all your Porsche dreams
come true.
[Dave] Deep in the heart
of this little 356,
is the Porsche dream capital
of the world.
Finding the road
exactly into the center
of that world,
well, that might take
a couple more maps.
It's gonna have a lot
of new everything.
It's gonna rip, too.
[Dave] So many things
have been changed on this car
to make it look exactly
like the car looked
when it got here,
but in much better quality
and much better shape.
I'm not complaining too much,
you know.
And now all we've got to do
is fire this car up
and finish it.
[sputtering]
We're bringing the thunder.
We have the engine installed,
everything else
is really coming together.
But getting this car
started and running?
Well, that seems to be
a little bit more of a chore.
[engine starts]
[Cole] Again?
It's sucking down some oil.
It's like 15...
I will put more in it.
We're no stranger
to making a car run.
Fuel, air and spark.
That's all
it really takes, right?
This one's just
a little bit different
because it's not like
the normal.
It's a 2.5 liter, man.
Why is it so thirsty?
How many gallons does it take?
All of them.
[in deep voice]
Outlaw Porsche.
We don't follow no rules.
Ready for tuning.
Okay.
[Cole] Yeah, oil pressure
would be cool.
[engine starts]
That's not me revving it up.
That's doing it on its own.
Go ignition on one more time.
I want to see
if the pump's running.
Yeah, it's still running.
Yeah. Why does the idol
keep revving up?
But why?
I didn't touch the throttle.
No, I was --I was holding it
all the way off,
like no throttle.
Zero percent.
And then
it just started idling up.
For real?
[speaking]
Yes.
We've got great oil pressure,
but that's about
the only thing
we have going for us
at this moment.
No fire backup?
Burn it back up.
[Kevin] Another one.
[sputtering]
[Kevin speaking]
[Cole] Yeah.
-No?
-I mean,
we're almost-- Almost--
[Kevin]
Roll it all the way back.
[speaking]
A couple of adjustments
on these carbs,
and I think we're going
to be in the money.
Hey, fire it up again.
[engine starts]
[Kevin] What are we idling?
Seven eight?
Target oil pressure.
[speaking]
[Kevin] Hold up.
[engine starts]
Call it done.
Success.
Great success.
Mucho better.
We had to just close
the throttle bodies
to bring the idol down.
Kevin was right.
If I had a donut
for every time I heard that,
I'd be a little bit heavier.
Progress? Yes.
[chuckles]
Come over here!
Come over here!
Are you ready?
Yeah, are you ready?
Let me open it for you.
A little bit of freezer burn,
so I hope you like it.
There's a ton of things
happening at the shop,
but there's one thing
we never overlook. Treats.
Happy birthday!
Is that good?
You know, to tell the truth,
I don't know
if it's really
this dog's birthday,
but I just had an excuse
to share a treat
because that's the kind
of guy I am.
Banana peanut butter flavored.
You want me to rip this open
so you can get it all?
Happy birthday, buddy!
It's also a reminder
to everyone in the shop,
when my birthday rolls around,
feel free to be generous!
You've got your problems.
You've got my problems.
[soft music playing]
It seems pretty sooner.
You know,
with building a custom car
or a classic restoration,
windows always seem
to be either really difficult
or really easy.
He's doing the thing, Kenny.
I don't think we've ever seen
an easy one, though. [wheezes]
I hear they're out there,
I've just never seen one.
Does anybody else know?
As I'm smacking it,
it's pulling the trim
back out up top.
[Kenny] Oh.
You know,
it seems to me
you have to have
a perfect balance
of weight distributing,
pressure...
I mean, there's so many
different equations
that need to be checked off
to make things work.
[Kevin] I think we're close.
Just lay on it,
take a little nap.
Aa little snoozy doozy.
Run around
the corner.
I do not want to rip this.
Okay. Beautiful. Okay.
[Justin] A little
pressure down, Kenny.
There we go.
Little less pressure. Barely.
Okay. There we go.
Beautiful.
Okay. Pressure.
We're barely over it.
Barely.
We're in all the way.
[upbeat music playing]
We're doing a sample
for the hinges
on this Porsche.
The back seat
in the back of a 356 A Coupe
is pretty much, well,
not useful at all.
So what we're gonna do is,
we're gonna utilize this area
so we can move
the front seats back
a little bit further,
but still have
some really great detail
that fits the vintage
and the era of the car.
[Justin] Try to wipe it
a little more evenly.
He wanted a natural color,
so I got a natural look.
[Justin] That was four
to five coats.
Well, let's go find Dave.
Hmm. It doesn't
seem orange enough.
So it might just
need more coats.
-A little bit darker red.
Just a little bit.
-[Justin] Yeah.
[Justin] Okay. Let me see
if it'll darken up.
Perfect!
[Dave] You know, it's like
a mad scientist's lab.
Sometimes you add some stuff,
you take away some stuff,
you add some more stuff.
And at the end of the day,
if it doesn't blow up
all over the lab,
I think we're
in good shape, right?
That's quite a few coats,
but that's all right.
I can get it there
as long as--
As long we know
where we're at with it, so.
Hey, dust that off!
[coughs]
I'm gonna cut out
a couple of door panels.
I'm gonna mark them out
and do all my stitching.
[Justin] And then I just gotta
dial them in one last time,
and I'll get them
door panels wrapped.
[Dave] The door panels
on this little Porsche
are gonna be amazing.
It's gonna fit the style
of the car perfectly.
But there's a couple
of other details
I'm really excited about.
[Dave] We've got
to make these seats
in four different sections.
[Justin] We've got
to do the bolsters,
and then we've got to build
a cushion and a backrest.
That's how
it got to be pulled around.
It's gonna be kind of tricky
because this is all
one solid pan.
[Justin] Hey, looks good.
[Justin] If the foam work's
not correct
from the get go,
the rest of the project's
gonna go south on you.
This is Nestor.
He loves me.
-His English is perfect.
-[chuckles]
Say hello.
See?
I'm nobody's buddy,
but here we go.
[Justin] We're doing
this foam.
It was two layers.
To get the good shape
for these seats,
and then we put a layer
of half inch over it,
which is a good solid layer.
And then we just did
a little fine sanding,
and that way there,
we know the product's gonna
turn out the way we want it.
[Justin] We're gonna get
all the foam done,
get the bolsters shaped,
and then we're gonna do
the inserts in two pieces,
get that foam ready to cover,
and then we're gonna
cover the bolsters,
and then build the inserts,
and then cover those.
[Justin] It looks a lot like
all the Porsches
back in the late '50s
and early '60s,
but what's pretty cool
is we've got the three fleets
on the bolsters,
which gives it good design.
But at the same time,
that's what makes
that fit so good
with no wrinkles.
[Justin] On the back
of these seats,
we're gonna do carpet.
It's German square.
We've got really good quality.
[Nestor] So beautiful!
[upbeat music playing]
[Dave] Our version of covering
the back of the seats,
I think is gonna be
very unique and very stylish.
As you can see,
the speakers are in.
[Justin] I dropped it,
so I got to narrow it.
So I'm gonna
put my old pattern back in,
and just put it
over what we built.
[Justin] Right on.
[Dave] Basically,
what we're gonna do
is we're gonna do
almost like a waterfall piece
of luggage,
but it's not really
a removable piece of luggage.
Inside of this area
will actually be storage
for detail stuff.
His lunch sack,
whatever you want
to put in there, that'll fit.
And that sits right next
to the subwoofer,
and also the
tube hidden tweets.
We're coming
to the end of this.
I'm finishing up
this rear seat elite lid
right now.
And then we got the seats
over here ready to go in,
and we're done, man.
It's official.
The rush to finish
this 59 Porsche is on.
I'm loving it.
Now, looks-- Looks nice.
I don't know
what I'm more excited for,
to see the car finished
or just to be done with it.
Oh, baby!
[soft music playing]
Well, I don't think
you could get a better place.
Well, I think
we're in the presence
of legendary supercars here.
[Dave] Yeah, pretty much.
-[Kevin] Of all shapes, sizes,
colors and, years.
-[Dave] That's right.
[Dave] Today we're
in Park City, Utah,
and our good friends,
the Warehouse,
to debut
this beautiful 959 Porsche
for our good friend Ken.
Need it. Got it, got it.
Need it, need it.
We'll need all of them.
And...
-[Dave] Ta-da!
-[Kevin] The vintage
Outlaw Porsche
that fits right into the mix.
[upbeat music playing]
[Dave] '59 356
A Outlaw.
Que bella.
[Kevin] You know what?
This car has turned out
so well.
We got this thing
back from the dip.
-[Dave chuckles]
-I was like,
"This is just a disaster."
[Dave] We had to go through
and do a lot
of sheet metal work
to be able to do
the rest of mod that we wanted
to with this Porsche.
-[Kevin] This thing
was caved in, rusted,
-[Dave chuckles]
all of the things.
[Kevin] And now,
sitting in front of us,
in this beautiful--
What color is this?
[Dave] This is Under Slated
by Modern Classikk.
[Kevin] Under Slated Gray,
it just--
[Kevin] I mean, it kind of
takes my breath away,
and I hate to say that
because this is kind
of Volkswagen-esque, but--
-[Dave] Yeah, well--
-It's kind of won my heart.
It's got a lot of style,
to say the least.
-[Kevin chuckles]
-You know.
[Dave] The Outlaw is just
such a cool idea and heritage,
and to be able to pull some
of our styling cues
into an Outlaw Porsche,
I think, is really well fit.
I feel like Outlaws
are a little more crusty.
[Kevin] But I think
that this Outlaw
-is just super classy.
- Dave] Yeah.
[Kevin] Might be
its own class.
It's like
a classy Outlaw Porsche.
- Kevin] It's amazing.
-[Dave] Right. This thing
is off the chain.
[Dave] And if you don't know
what you're looking at,
a lot of guys
can actually do damage
to the styling of the car.
A lot of times,
if they blow out
the back quarters too much,
you get rid of all
of all that roundness
-to the back of the car.
- Kevin] Mmm.
[Dave] You lose
what the car was.
The guys actually started
up closer to the door
and gave it
that longer radius,
which is actually tricky
because you can't tell
that it's been widened
in the back.
But we've actually added
a little over an inch
to each side,
which gave us
the ability to run
a much wider tire in the back,
which definitely helped out
with the performance.
For the wheels,
I wanted to design something
that would look era perfect.
So, given something
that looks like
a magnesium wheel,
adding a little bit
of textures from some
of the cookie cutter wheels
from 911s earlier in the '70s.
There's a lot
of little touches
in the wheel design
that just gives it
a very understated
yet very custom look.
-Let's check out the interior.
-Oh, baby.
[Kevin] The color combo
on this car
is definitely classic.
The Under Slated
and then the berry interior
or the red
with the tan carpet,
you couldn't get any better.
And just
all the details
that you have in here,
they're just subtle details
like the speedster seats.
[Dave laughs]
Which are comfortable.
They're very comfortable.
-[Kevin] Aviation lap belts
with the cool leather on them.
-[Dave] Mm-hmm.
[Kevin] Justin did this
insanely cool
belted compartment.
The sub is on the one side.
You open this up,
you have plenty of storage
for anything you want
to put in there.
You have the vents,
the knobs for the vents,
the glove box.
We left a lot
of Porsche-esque parts
in here,
and I think it's perfect.
[Dave] The Dakota
Digital gages
were built for us.
It's based on the original.
We have the speedo
on the right,
the tachometer
right in the middle
where you can see it.
These are awesome.
And also the shrunken
cautious steering wheel.
This is really
a nice little piece
to just add some detail
that keeps it very classic,
but yet it's got
a little bit more
of a modern feel.
Hey, why don't you fire it up?
Let's hear
how this thing sounds.
-[Dave] It's amazing.
-You don't have
to ask me twice.
[engine starts]
It rips, too.
This, actually, to me,
it sounds like a 993.
-2.5 liters is a lot of liters
for a flat 4 cylinder engine.
-[Dave laughs]
Well, especially,
I think the original motor
for this thing
-would have been a 1600.
-Yeah, yeah.
So just under 1600 cc.
[Kevin] Yeah,
like a Volkswagen.
Yeah, pretty much.
-Why don't you pop the engine
so we can check out the--
-[Dave] Let's do that.
[Kevin] Check out the back.
Check this out.
-[Kevin] Doesn't that
look so cool?
-[Dave laughs]
[Dave] It looks so vintage,
yet it's obviously got
the 911 style.
Porsche fan shroud
and 51 mm Webbers.
-[Kevin] They're monsters.
-[Dave laughs]
[Kevin] And then
it has the dual
spark plug heads.
It has all
the Porsche-esque parts on it.
It's just four cylinders.
That amount of ccs
out of that block in this car
is like, unheard of.
-[Dave] This thing is bad
to the bone.
-[Kevin] It's a rocket.
This car scoots.
I was blown away.
[Kevin] The performance
of this little car.
With this Porsche,
I was very skeptical
from the get go.
But we put this souped up
Polo Motors engine in it,
and it is a beast.
This is one
of my favorite views
of the car, too.
When you get back here,
looking at
the stainless exhaust
on this thing,
those two huge pea shooters
sticking out there.
[Kevin] I don't think
you could call
those pea shooters.
-[Dave] Pea shooters,
they're more like--
-Potato shooters.
-[Dave] Potato g*ns. Cannons.
-Yeah. Yeah.
-[Dave] Those two cannons
down low, yeah.
-I like that.
[Dave] And a little bit
of extra traction
with back here
just really looks natural
to the car,
and the back of the car
still looks like
an original 1950.
[Kevin] One hundred percent.
You have the alloy deck lid,
-which was a big thing.
-[Dave] Yep.
Because when you're dealing
with these small cars
and the small engine,
you only have so much space.
We've messed around
a little bit with 356s before,
both original and replicas,
but this one in particular
is the biggest project
we've ever done
on a vintage 356.
And I'm hooked.
This thing's bad.
The overall view of the car,
the stance,
I mean, this thing,
I think Kenneth
is gonna be so happy
with the car
when we get it to him.
[Kevin] I'm excited
to get it to him.
Let's get it out of here
before the rest
of these Porsches
start blushing.
Yeah. [laughs] Right?
[Kevin laughs]
[Dave laughs]
