"Fast n' loud"... yeah!" "Hot-rod hunter Richard rawlings." "And master mechanic Aaron kaufman are all abuzz..." "Me and aaron got Bug-eyed about it." "When they make big plans For a '65 volkswagen beetle... $5,500?" "Are you insane?" "And try to transform it Into a lean, mean bug machine." "You lost me at super beetle." "I know, right." "Meanwhile, richard goes Crawling back." "To an old friend..." "Can I get a beer?" "Hoping to snare A '75 silverado..." "And then skitters off To scottsdale." "To poke through a treasure Trove of old sports cars." "That's cactus." "With the beetle Bringing them down..." "Might be a little tall." "Can the monkeys Bounce back..." "The wheels Look like." "Or will richard bug out?" "I think it sucks." "Captions paid for by Discovery communications tell me, when's Your vacation again?" "It's gonna be two weeks." "How 'bout this." "We've never built a bug." "Yeah, no kidding." "We've built A shorty volkswagen bus," "And I thought it was almost A waste of a lot of great parts." "I'm jonesin' to build A volkswagen." "You know, I drove a '73 Super beetle when I was kid." "You lost me at super beetle." "I know, right?" "'Cause they're So goofy looking." "Yellow, so I painted A batman symbol." "Across the hood of it From headlight to headlight." "Boy, that's interesting." "I would have loved." "To have seen it." "Yeah." "We're always looking for Something to build in the shop," "And sometimes, Those things find us." "And our old friend, eliot," "That helped us With the shorty volkswagen van." "That we built gave me a call," "And he's real Into volkswagens." "I mean, he's got a ton of them." "He goes, "Richard," he goes," ""I'm up to two buildings now and I'm still running out of room."" "I'm fixing to punt a few Of my projects," "And if you guys are interested, Come on down." ""And see what I've got to sell."" "It'd be nice To break new ground," "But we definitely Don't have a lot of time," "And I think building." "A proper beetle, Ain't nothing wrong with that." "When I say a proper beetle," "I mean absolutely hammered And a lot of power." "That's what I mean When I say proper bug." "God he's always Got cool stuff." "He's got some Nice stuff going." "All right." "Look who's here." "What's up, dude?" "How you doing?" "How we doing?" "My name is eliot vancil." "I'm from midlothian, texas." "What is that?" "That's a schwinn wagon." "Schwinn. 1943, world war ii." "Envisioned by david schwimmer." "Yeah, you'd have To go, "Schwimm wagon!"" "Eliot's not just your average Hop-on-the-internet collector," "So this guy spends his time," "Spends his money To travel the world." "And go and Hunt down vehicles." "This beaster looks Like it could be cool." "Yeah, we got some big plans With this thing." "It's just a fiberglass kit car." "Yep." "But those are the ones that You can get stupid with, right?" "Yeah, they're not Too expensive." "We're gonna shorten The windshield." "And widen the rear fenders." "And put a big 23/32 five-speed bird." "What's the deal with this one?" "Man, I've had it for a while." "I just don't have time to mess With it and no room, really," "But I'd sell you this one." "It's original paint, '65." "Really?" "And if you look at it, There's no rust." "I love the color on it." "Yeah, honestly, man," "I think that stuff Would just buff right out." "Man, I think this thing Would look sexy buffed." "I really like it." "Got to get it down some." "What year did you say this is?" "'65. '65?" "Yeah." "So, just all bone stock?" "Yeah, just bone stock." "Stock 40 horse, Original paint," "Good pans, Good heater channels." "Smells a little musty." "They all do." "Find one that don't." "I need something like this." "It's probably what we need." "So it's real straight." "I just see one whiskey dent On that corner over there." "Yeah, I think you just did That, didn't you?" "That'd be a beer dent." "With an affordable price tag And tons of bolt-on parts," "Vw bugs have been some of The most customized cars." "In the world." "Ever since they first Came out in germany in 1938." "Some of the craziest builds I've Ever seen started out as vws." "It just goes to show you That even something." "Totally uncool Can still be super-cool." "This would be a good project For you guys." "It's clean, Won't have to do much to it." "You can get it in, Get it out." "So, we checked out the car." "I could tell aaron." "Was into it from The originality of the paint." "And stuff like that and the fact That it's not rusty," "So now all I got to do Is get it bought." "Well, what do you want For this thing, man?" "I'll take 8,000 bucks For it." "Come on, you said you were Cleaning out the shop." "You needed the room." "I was thinking more like 4,500 bucks." "I can't do that." "Richard, I know You're a wheeler dealer," "But I've been doing This a while." "You're not getting it For 4,500 bucks." "You know what's crazy?" "I have no idea." "If he's low or you're high." "I don't know where To put this one." "I want to think this is A $500 car," "But I'm sure that's wrong." "15 years ago it was A $500 car." "These things are getting hard To find," "Original paint, Original stickers," "Unmessed with." "You can ask aaron." "All right, how 'bout $5,500?" "Still a little bit low." "Well, listen." "We could offset it a little bit." "Y'all build some Volkswagen parts, don't you?" "We do." "We're gonna need volkswagen Parts if we build it, right?" "Yeah, that's What I'm saying." "If we can get closer To his price," "Maybe he can hook us up With a bunch of parts we need." "I'll do this." "6 grand, we'll build you." "A 4-inch narrowed beam, Get it on the ground." "We'll build you Some drop plates." "In the back To get it sitting right." "If you got questions, Got issues," "We'll help you out With the motors." "And stuff like that, And 6 grand." "I think we can get it done." "Does that work?" "I have no idea What these are worth." "All right, man." "We'll do it." "You treated us Right on the little van," "So let's see what we can Do with this." "Hashtag... sold." "Pretty good negotiating, man." "Man, I needed it to work out." "It's the car I wanted to build," "So I just needed y'all To agree on something." "Awesome." "You're going bugging, aaron." "Excellent." "Thanks, guys." "Now we got to load it." "We didn't steal the car," "But, you know, He didn't give it away either," "So it was a fair deal All the way around." "As far as what the monkeys Are gonna think." "When we get back With a volkswagen bug." "And that's what We're gonna build..." "I don't really care." "Do you?" "No." "It's gonna happen." "Yeah." "Volkswagen bug time!" "Yeah." "Fahrvergnugen." "How many monkeys Can you put in a bug?" "Let's find out." "Let us see." "Keep going." "We got to see how many monkeys We can put in there." "Hey, quit messing around." "I'm trying to see how many People we can stuff in a bug." "More monkeys." "Hey, we still got You and aaron." "I'm good out here." "I appreciate the concern." "I'll do it." "Yeah!" "Man." "I got the business End of this deal." "That's not my leg." "That's eau de ricardo." "At least you smell good." "Enough of this." "That was only seven." "Somebody needs to look up The world record." "Isn't it, like, 52 people or something?" "Why a volkswagen?" "Man, you know what?" "I really wanted to build A proper volkswagen." "I don't need to take it To a different level." "I don't need To make a spaceship." "I want to build a hammered, Sweet interior beetle." "I love the stock color," "And I think it'll look great Buffed and cleaned up." "So, how low do You want to go with it?" "Darn near on the ground." "Two-inch ride height?" "Somewhere between there And three and change." "So, me and tony painting It or what?" "Absolutely not." "I think the paint's gonna buff Out great, and I love the color." "You could say me and aaron Got bug-eyed about it." "Haha!" "I really like this little '65," "And I want to do it up right, So here's the plan." "We're gonna stick it To the ground." "With a suspension package From airkooled kustom vw." "Then replace The stock wheels and tires." "With two-piece 17s Front and back." "It wouldn't take much to get The vw engine running," "But with 40 horsepower It puts out," "It just won't make it for us, So we'll turn to eliot again." "For a motor making About five times that." "And coy gets a break Because I'll bring in a guy." "To fix the whiskey dents And buff out the original paint." "I'm setting the deadline At just two weeks." "Because aaron booked himself A little time off," "So for once, I can bank on him Getting this build done in time." "We got 6 grand in it." "What do you think, another 15?" "I have no idea How to price this right now." "Yeah, you didn't know How to price it." "When we were buying It, either." "Y'all get after it." "I got to go see phipps." "And buy something else Just to keep y'all busy." "I actually really Like volkswagens." "I got one." "I love it." "Yeah." "I am excited about it." "Yeah, me, too." "What's been up, man?" "Not much." "Look at this place." "So, you let the ding-dongs Move up front?" "Yeah, they needed the space And I wasn't using it." "So, phipps gave tony a call And said they got a truck." "That he kind of did Some work on for somebody." "And traded for the bill." "And, you know, He needed to get some cash up." "And just wanted To get rid of it," "And when he said it was A shortbed 4x4," "I'm like, "I'm in."" "That's worth a little trek Over to phipps'."" "Plus, I know he's got cold beer." "So, this is what you Called me about?" "Yeah." "What is this, Like a '75?" "Yep." "It's cool, shortbed." "Pretty decent 4x4." "I liked it when I made The deal with the guy." "What was the deal?" "Well, I did a lot of work On his other truck for it." "So he traded his bill For this truck?" "Yeah." "And this needs work." "Yes, sir." "Pretty straight body, though, And it's not rusty." "Yeah, they took care of it." "I like the winch." "I'd like to keep the winch." "I don't know." "I like the way it's '80sed-out, Got these fender flares." "Battery's dead." "There's no headliner." "Seat's ripped." "Radio's obviously broken." "Or it is now." "It's a little oxidized." "Yeah, a little Spit shine." "Heck yeah." "Do that on the other side, We're good to go." "Just added value to this thing." "It's rad." "I mean, it's not rusty." "It's not beat up." "Got a dent in the tailgate, A little oxidized paint," "But it's all, you know, '80s fall guy type style." "You know, it's straight-up cool." "Battery's dead." "It looks like It'll run and drive," "And I think It's a pretty easy flip." "If I can get it At the right price." "What do you want or it?" "I'd take $6,000." "I asked phipps what he wants." "For it and it's, "Six."" "I'm, like, well, I mean, I don't know." "If this guy got the interweb Since I've been gone," "But he's obviously Done his homework." "Dude, I'm not paying 6 grand for this." "Somebody might." "No, somebody won't," "And I'm standing here, And you called me." "Come on, man." "You really think it's $6,000?" "I'm hoping to get 6 grand for the truck." "Knowing richard, I'll probably Get maybe $4,000 or less." "Dude, I can't pay that If you traded labor for it." "I was thinking more like Non-running," "Shortbed, junk-box truck." "How 'bout 2 grand?" "I was really Wanting $4,000." "Well, I'm really wanting To pay $2,000." "I need $4,000." "I got $3,000 worth of labor On the other truck." "All right, so how 'bout 3 grand?" "That's the middle." "That is the middle. 3 grand." "I should have Started higher then?" "Yeah." "How 'bout $3,250?" "Man, I love phipps, but he Can't negotiate for," "Which is probably why I like him So much, come to think of it." "It's 3 grand." "That's what I got right here." "I'd rather have $4,000." "You want the money or you Don't want the money?" "Well, you got it out Of your pocket and I seen it." "Yeah, I do want it." "All right." "Kick-ass, brother." "I'll call tony and tell..." "Come on." "We got a deal?" "All right, cool." "Come on." "Hey, thanks." "We'll have tony come get it." "Since he sent me down here To do the dirty work, anyways." "Cool." "I got 3 grand for the truck." "I'm happy." "It'll work out." "They'll do something with it And I won't have to." "It's good." "It's straight-up cool." "Obviously, as you're listening To me tell you that," "Aaron's probably Saying how not cool it is," "But don't worry about that." "I say it's cool." "Could I get a beer, phipps?" "!" "I'll wait here till I get one." "I don't care." "About time, man." "Yeah." "Good luck with that." "Coming up, On "Fast n' loud"..." "This might be a problem." "The silverado has A small steering problem." "And the beetle gets A big upgrade." "That doesn't sound like Any bug I've ever heard." "I've never built a beetle." "I've always been Curious about it." "I've always wanted to," "But I was afraid to be A beetle guy, beetle person." "So, I mean, the plus side Is the wheels," "Big brakes, very big motor, 2.3, but I really want to retain." "So much of the factory Appearance," "So everything on the outside Will kind of stay this way." "We're just gonna give A brand-new attitude." "You want to do an ecoboost In this one?" "If there was enough time." "I think we'll stick With the air-cooled vw." "So, I'll get the Pdr guy over here." "Pdr... paintless dent repair." "It's the old repair techniques." "That have never Really gone away." "I have counted 22 dings, Dents, creases." "You count better Than I did." "Only now instead of wasting time." "With a car Going to someone else's shop," "The technician comes to me." "I like having the Pdr guy massage the dents out." "Because it's faster than coy Spending a week." "With it in the paint shop." "Richard will like it because It's cheaper than new paint," "And as a bonus, not spending the Cash will result in more profit." "That's it." "My side." "Right there." "It's all you." "You should have A pretty decent gap over there." "Yeah, it's good." "Arms will reach it, though." "Dude, this thing did clean up." "What are y'all gonna do now, Tear it apart?" "Yeah, I'm just gonna shake the Motor out of the bottom of it." "Well let's see it, homeboy." "Shake it out." "Or is it shake it off?" "I don't know." "Ready?" "I don't think It's gonna come out." "Got four bolts holding it." "Yeah, you should probably Get some tools." "That's what I was doing." "You're working with a tool." "Trust me." "Two of them." "I work for a tool." "Trust me." "Doesn't this thing Look cute on the lift?" "It looks tiny." "Might as well strip The bumpers, wheels," "All that and get All that crap out of the way." "In terms of how Good of condition." "The car's in, it's impeccable." "For a 1965 model car." "To only have just A little bit of surface." "Rust and not be beat up Is kind of an anomaly, actually." "They don't happen very often." "Okay, go for it." "Yep, you got it." "Speedo cable." "Hold on." "We're gonna put A new suspension," "New engine, new interior," "But keep that Old look of the car." "Easy-peasy?" "You'll be able to hop In it, man, and haul ass." "Tft knows his vws, man." "Tony taylor tool time." "Go for it." "Now we're just taking The rear suspension," "Transmission, front suspension," "Getting everything Out of the way." "So we can add All the new fun stuff." "You're done." "Good enough." "Between you and charles, The knowledge of volkswagens..." "Man, I got dirty." "What do you do now?" "Do you get to go home When you get dirty?" "There's one Other way to do it." "The other way." "So, maynard dropped." "This silverado Off in the driveway." "The problem with this thing Is it's not starting," "It's too heavy for the forklift, And last time I checked," "Steering wheels Aren't supposed to do this." "Might be a problem." "I think we're gonna need A few more bodies for this one." "This is the steering wheel?" "Good god." "Shut that door, would you?" "He's gonna try and run That while equipped." "So, ricardo bought This '75 silverado." "From phipps the other day." "I got to say, he done good." "Not a lot of rust and just The right amount of dents." "Hey, just easy does it." "Easy does it." "Don't go faster Than he can turn." "God dang!" "He's gonna be a tired son Of a gun." "It is a slow process With this thing." "My god!" "My god!" "Shake 'em out." "Can I rip This blinker handle off?" "I don't care." "All right, go." "Easy." "This sucks!" "Maybe leave this thing Just straight in the garage." "Are y'all hungry?" "I am ridiculously hungry." "Man, I really wish" "Richard would have checked out The steering wheel on this truck." "Before we pulled it In the driveway." "So, what's the grand Master flash plan with this?" "Well, 'cause it's just, You know," "We're not doing anything Too great with it." "And it's kind of almost okay The way it is," "I figured we'd buff it." "We've got really one Badly damaged piece of trim." "The tailgate." "We're gonna pull the chrome off Of it and leave it," "Buffing, leave it like it is, Pull all the little emblems off," "You know, the junk That's all over it," "Pull the winch off the front, Pull the tube grille," "So it'll have a stock grille, Stock bumper up front," "No winch, clean up the engine Bay a little bit." "It's gonna get a new column, New headliner, new seat, carpet," "And then clean to paint, We're gonna wash the tires." "And wheels and then we're gonna Re-polish the wheels," "And, you know, Reseal the differentials," "The leak and stuff on it And that'll be about it." "Works for me." "I mean, it should bring," "What, 12, 13 grand in?" "It's an interesting truck." "I think you'll find A good buyer for it." "All right, cool." "Get after it." "All right, boys." "You heard the man." "Hey, did you go On an expedition or what?" "I think it's far from puking." "Yeah." "What's up, guys?" "What's up, fellas?" "Look at that." "Indoor delivery service." "Thanks, man." "Eliot's here today." "With the big parts Delivery for the bug." "I mean, well, not really." "Just one part, the motor." "Let's see the goods." "Boom!" "Dude, that's a lot of power." "For a little bug." "That's pretty rad." "Yeah, this is A little rowdy 22/76," "Making about 200 horses." "So, what's Their stock motor size?" "That would have been actually A 40-horse." "That you pulled Out of that one." "Yeah!" "So, it's a little bit Of an upgrade." "Little bit of an upgrade." "Looks heavy." "Guys." "Got it, muscles?" "Yeah, go ahead." "I'll watch." "Yeah, let's put a battery On it and let's get it fired up." "That much power in this Little bitty thing." "And it's gonna stay air-cooled?" "That's wicked." "A big boost in power Like this doesn't come cheap," "And that's probably why aaron's Packing for his vacation." "Instead of standing here When I have to cut the check." "This one's $5,500." "Leave it to aaron kaufman To order a..." "Dude, that doesn't sound like Any bug I've ever heard." "Get you some of that." "All right, guys." "Hey, thank you all, man." "I'm gonna let y'all Get to work with these guys." "Y'all chunk this thing in there." "Let's get this bug done." "Let's do it." "$5,500?" "Are you insane?" "It's a volkswagen, Man." "Coming up on "Fast n' loud"..." "What have I done?" "Aaron has a few regrets." "That's a horrible idea Is what it was." "Whoa!" "And richard gets A little prick." "That's cactus." "You been waiting On this?" "Stuff from airkooled." "Yeah." "I got one more box." "We got the front suspension." "In for the bug, And it looks cool." "Everything is pre-built." "We just need to get It hung on the car." "If I get it high enough?" "One airkooled front End installed." "We're good to go." "It's nice to pick up a rear-end Section that's that light." "Installing the new rancho High-performance transaxle." "Is just about as easy." "Compare to all the other cars And trucks we do," "This transaxle weighs Nothing at all." "I think when we get done With this," "This bug is really Gonna be badass." "It'll be super-quick With five times the power." "From the new motor." "Yeah, you want To get that lift?" "I got you." "You want to let it set On that one?" "You can just leave it On that one." "It's fine." "It's a pretty big motor For a volkswagen." "That only weighs less Than 2,000 pounds," "So, it's gonna motivate Pretty good." "All right, it's good." "Give me one second." "Stop." "We're stabbing the motor." "And we're running Into a couple of fitment issues." "All right, go ahead." "We kind of anticipated it." "Because of the width Of the motor." "So we pulled The valve covers off," "Ended up having just enough room To get it squeezed in there." "How are you On the other side?" "You're good." "You're clear on the back." "Go down." "Okay, hold on." "Yeah, we're on it now." "It fit." "I mean, once we got it hung On the bottom." "Two bolts, I just shoved it on there." "Jason started the hardware On there." "Boom." "The dishes are done, dude." "Nothing easier Than putting a motor." "In a bug, I can tell you that." "You know I never Turn down a chance." "To go to sunny scottsdale," "But this dry desert Makes havoc on my hair." "You having a bad hair day?" "Today, we're just." "Outside of scottsdale In desert hills, arizona." "So what's the deal With this place, man." "You found this one." "Lady's husband has been Collecting these." "Since the late '60s, Early '70s." "She's got about 15 cars." "She's got some austin healys, Some triumphs," "An old racecar alvis," "So we came out here To check it out." "It looks like it's chaos." "It does look like chaos." "Holy cow." "I love the british And european sports cars." "I always have." "I've been buying the big Healys for over 30 years." "You know, I'm not As big into." "The british sports cars As dennis," "But I'm anywhere We can make money," "And dennis told me to Jump the plane and go with him." "I'm here with a pocket Full of cash." "Let's make it happen." "Yeah, most of these cars Haven't moved since the '70s." "The good thing about arizona, They shouldn't be rusty." "This is true." "That's pretty rad." "Good morning." "Good morning." "Hi." "Dennis collins." "Richard rawlings." "How are you?" "I'm good." "How are you?" "Nice to meet you." "My name's cindy wood," "And I'm from Desert hills, arizona." "My husband was A rocket scientist," "And he just loved cars," "And as you can see, Then let them sit in the sun." "Unfortunately, My husband passed away." "And I'm trying To clean up the property." "So this is the tr3?" "Yeah." "The best thing about The car is the hubcaps." "Yeah, They're cool." "Whoa!" "Golly." "You scared the crap out of me." "Holy cow." "Look at that." "That might be the worst One I've ever seen." "I've seen some rat nests Before, but this thing," "You couldn't put more nest In the rat's nest." "It was full of nest." "All right, cool." "What else we got?" "Okay." "There's a bugeye right here." "These are cool." "Bugeye sprites, Some people call them frogeyes." "Pretty neat." "And that's The volkswagen there." "P1800 s." "License plate's '97," "So we might be able To get this one to run." "This is a big healy Here, isn't it, dennis?" "Yeah, it's a late one." "That one's a beauty, too." "This car looks Pretty good." "Afraid something's gonna Jump out." "Yeah, I know." "I'm waiting on a snake." "What's that out there, Another healy?" "So, this one's A lot earlier." "Whoa." "That is so crazy." "Hang on." "Wha!" "What are you looking For dennis?" "What I'm Really interested." "In is how many carburetors Are over there." "Is there two or three?" "That's cactus." "Yeah, that's cactus." "I told you." "Ouch." "I didn't think about it." "It looked like Just general rat stuff." "I didn't realize it was Full of cacti." "Holy cow." "Man." "Thumb still hurts." "That's my beer-drinking, Can-holding thumb, too." "Yeah, you stuck it Right in there." "How's your hand Feel, r?" "It stings a little." "There's the alvis." "That's my favorite car." "1937." "Wow." "And the engine is really cool If you open the engine up." "Look at that." "It's a judson Supercharger." "Is it?" "That is cool." "Look at this, too." "It's an external oil setup." "See, these cars Didn't have that." "This must have been A race car." "This is the only car That makes me sad." "That I'm selling 'cause I know He loved this one so much." "I can tell." "You can tell." "You know what's crazy." "Is there's no rat stuff Under this one at all." "The rats have Respected it." "Yeah, they've Respected this car." "We have to get this One running, r." "We got to get them Bought first." "What's great about These cars here," "They look rough, But they're not rusted." "These are all good cars To restore." "Yeah, it's like when you Put cars out in the desert," "They don't rust away," "They kind of just Fade into the ground." "They dust away." "They just become dust." "The alvis is pretty cool." "The alvis is great." "It is neat." "There's six cars here." "That we're definitely Interested in buying." "Three healys, the volvo, There's the alvis," "And then there's the tr3, So, those are the ones we want." "How 'bout 25 grand For the six cars?" "No." "That alvis is Worth that much at least." "And then you're Getting five more cars." "How 'bout 45?" "Hundred?" "$45,000." "Got to ask." "Got to ask." "It's a good thing she had A sense of humor." "Yeah, I thought she was Gonna hit me with that cane." "Well, I don't know." "How 'bout if we go $30,000 cash For the cars, done deal?" "Boy." "I need to get rid of them And I need the cash," "So, yeah, let's do it." "All right, done deal." "We got the whole package Bought for 30 grand." "That's a good deal." "Except for we got to drag them Out of here and get them home." "And I'm not doing Any of that." "Me, either." "I'll coordinate it, though." "And here's your bonus." "The triumph handbook Of maintenance." "Dennis, I'm gonna go see If I can get that running." "Good luck, it's Right there." "When it comes to parts On this silverado," "They're kind of like us." "Some just need A little vacation to rehab," "Others have done their job And need to be retired." "One of the things We noticed early on." "When we got the truck in was The trim didn't line up at all," "Which doesn't matter other than The fact that it's an indicator." "That the cab bushings Are wore out." "Maybe nothing will fall on us." "As you can see, That's a pretty good example." "This one's actually Walking away," "And so the cab Would wiggle independent." "From the chassis And from the bed." "It's not fresh paint Or a new motor," "But getting quick, Little jobs." "Like this one Done can improve the ride." "And the appearance Of the truck enough." "That richard can make A few bucks by flipping it." "At least that's the plan." "By putting new cab Bushings in it," "The vehicle will feel Much more connected to the road," "Much more stable," "And the bonus is the trim Will line up." "Like always, more complicated Than it should be." "Simple doesn't always mean easy," "But with a few adjustments Of the sleeves." "For the body mounts," "The fresh bushings are just What the truck doctor ordered." "So these things Do have shims on them," "So we may have to adjust This a couple times." "I left such a nasty mess Down there." "What have I done?" "Nasty, nasty, nasty." "You know, I was thinking to myself." "I was like, "Man, I'm just Gonna pop some cab bushings."" "In this thing," ""Nice clean job, Be done in a minute."" "Hell, no." "Laying around in all this crap." "It's a horrible idea Is what it was." "I'm just trying to get a couple Things lined up a little better." "Before I set it back down." "I think I did an excellent job Of replacing the cab bushings." "With the trim lining up, The silverado eyeballs." "A bit better so richard Can get on to selling it." "And now, I can get On to doing some laundry." "So I can get myself Packed up for vacation." "Coming up on "Fast n' loud,"." "The bug doesn't sit right With aaron." "Might be a little tall." "I was told this was." "Going to the Interior shop three days ago." "And the monkeys Are short on excuses." "The wheels look like." "Although he now owns The largest porsche collection." "In the world, Jerry seinfeld's first ride." "Was a humble 1977 vw bug." "Why does it have To be any color?" "Why can't it just be The body color?" "Richard wants This two-toned." "But, what's the color Of the interior?" "It's something similar To these grays in a mesh." "So we're looking For an earth-tone gray." "Richard wants to go two-toned On the color for vw wheels," "So while he's out Buying cars with dennis," "I'm gonna lock in a color To match the interior," "An interior we don't have In the car yet." "All right, thanks." "Yep." "Once we have The wheels ready to go," "We can get the vw on the ground And see how it sits." "I'm not real sure about it, But it's what he wanted, so." "He picks it, I stick it, So that's what he got." "Look, it's like christmastime." "Ooh." "Yeah." "We got centers." "That's what you picked." "That's what richard wanted," "To match that interior." "Look good here." "Yeah, it doesn't look too bad." "No." "The beetle's level Of completeness is oddly enough," "Very close to being complete." "We're short an upholstery," "Which is a drop kick And a couple bolts away." "That's the rear Right there." "So, the beetle's rapidly Approaching being complete." "I'm really anxious to see How this thing sits." "Tell me about it." "We're about to put The wheels and tires on." "I'm really curious To see how it sits." "Initially, the plan For this car." "Was to build just A proper beetle, straight up," "And so far, I'm really, Really happy." "With the way everything's Come together." "From tail pipes to headlights." "I think that we have A proper beetle." "It's got all the right parts, Everything's super-nice." "I think it's gonna be A great driver." "I like that subtle Color difference." "It's supposed to match Whatever's in the interior." "Really?" "It's supposed to be one of The colors of the interior." "Got ya." "Contact." "Back might be a little high." "Might be a little tall." "Not as low as I want it." "Obviously, these are adjustments That can be made." "It sits a little high, But, you know what?" "Today's not the day To adjust all that." "We have upholstery to go in, Glass has to go in." "There's still a lot of things That have to be done," "So we're not gonna waste Any time with that," "But we will ultimately be Quite a bit lower." "It needs to come down A couple more," "I mean, at least three In the back." "And at least another one In the front," "But, like I said, it's not A pavement-scraper by any means," "But we definitely need it To have the right look." "And the right Performance level." "But it's nice to see the wheels And tires on for the first time." "And get a feel For the direction of the car." "I personally like them Much more hammered." "It's gonna change." "Right. 'Cause it'd be premature." "To just start Adjusting stuff." "I wouldn't get carried Away right now." "You can throw another 500 pounds In it, 400 pounds in it." "And then a driver in it." "I think another inch." "In the front Would be really, really nice." "And then obviously get The rear to match it." "Awesome." "Well, hey, first step." "At least we know What it looks like." "Rock and roll." "Now I'm excited to see." "The bumpers." "And everything Else on it now." "The hoff would love it." "You guys get to it." "I got to pack For a vacation." "See y'all later." "Hey, aaron already left." "Let's go." "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa." "What are y'all doing?" "We're gonna go test-drive This truck on a beautiful day." "Sounds like a good idea." "Scoot over." "Man." "I got to ride bitch?" "Can't go on a test-drive Without me." "Can't go on a test-drive With three guys in a truck." "You got that shaft Right here in the middle." "Yeah, why'd I get stuck With that?" "You got the shaft." "Hold on to Your butts, boys!" "Hit it!" "Yeah!" "Yeah!" "Hell, yeah!" " Go!" " Whoo!" "Do I finally get to drive?" "Yeah." "Or let me have it." "Get you some of that." "Yeah." "Heck, yeah." "Hell, yeah." "Man, good time, dude." "All right, good enough." "Sweet." "Y'all have tony Clean it up." "Tell him to get it On the 'net for sale." "I'll do it." "Let's go eat some lunch." "Somebody's gonna give their Right nut for this one." "You can actually leave That in there." "So we can test The clutch and everything." "I think he'll be able To take it today." "Okay, so, I was told." "This was going to the Interior shop three days ago." "What's the deal?" "Well, we changed the plan." "I wanted to finish the car," "With the exception Of the interior," "So when we get it back, All we got to do is drive it." "The wheels look like That's not the color we picked." "No, no, no." "Hey, you told me To match the interior." "Do you know what color Your interior is?" "The interior has a brown plaid To it, so I want brown." "No, it has gray And it has white." "These are Your two options." "Gray, really?" "I mean, leave it to my guys." "To pick a color From the interior." "That's not actually An accent color." "I think it sucks." "You got to realize." "That I need you To do what I want," "Not what I actually Mean to say." "No, no." "Trust me." "We've already talked about this." "Let me think here." "What does richard want?" "Okay." "We got to fix that." "I was thinking just A dark brown, you know?" "Definitely dark, 'cause In that plaiting area," "There's some Dark brown in there." "Yeah, as soon as we put it On there, I hated it." "It looks like." "Let's yank them off And get them painted again." "We can get them back On this afternoon, can't we?" "Yeah." "Yank them." "All right." "All right, cool." "Get after it." "We're not really behind, But it seems like we are." "That guy's never happy." "Never." "Right on." "I love it when A plan comes together." "Coming up on "Fast n' loud"..." "What's up, home slice?" "The silverado Falls short of expectations." "5 maybe 6 grand truck." "But can the beetle Give them a lift?" "Ready for sale." "Give me a call." "Now, that's A car right there." "It's an Apple fritter, right?" "It's an Apple fritter, man." "Straight from europe." "What do you call it, A fridolin?" "This is a swiss model Vw fridolin." "Something like 10 Of these exist now?" "Probably in the vw family, Probably the rarest of the rare." "We had to go to prague To get this thing." "And drove it 1,800 miles." "Across germany, Put it on a boat." "You mean it wasn't Just sitting in south texas?" "Got it over here." "It was not in south texas." "Man, it is cool." "It's like some kind Of small utility van." "It looks tremendous, man." "You want to take it For a ride?" "Yeah, I'd love to." "Let's go, man." "Hey, is there anything To hold on to?" "No seat belts?" "Whatever?" "Wow." "Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!" "Man, this thing's Got all kinds of power." "This the same motor We got in our car?" "Same motor." "Geez." "I can't wait to take The bug out now." "Fun's over." "It's time to go back To the prison we work at." "So, speaking of cool," "We got another car We got to get finished up." "I like this finish." "You could always paint it." "You can paint it 100 times," "But it's only gonna look Like this once." "So, I'm coming back From lunch on my ktm," "And tony's out there Trying to sell the silverado." "Now, tony's my guy For managing the inventory," "But if you're gonna Close the deal," "You need the closer." "What's up?" "What's up, home slice?" "Man, just enjoying The weather." "This day!" "It's a pretty day, man." "Richard rawlings." "Marc ringel." "Marc, how you doing?" "My name is marc ringel." "I'm from new york, new york." "You the guy that called about Taking a look a this truck?" "Yes, I am." "Cool, man." "Tony, did you sell it To him yet?" "I'm in the process Of selling it," "But I had to bring In the closer, man." "Where've you been?" "Well, the closer's here, man." "So, what do you think?" "It's an awesome truck." "I've been looking For a truck like this." "And it's just you don't come Around one of these every day." "Get in." "I'll take you for a ride." "So, what are You gonna do." "With something Like this if you buy it?"

"Little bit of play In the steering," "But some easy fixes And the car will be perfect." "I paid 3,000 bucks For this truck." "And I hardly Put anything in it," "So anything over $3,500, Well, that's great." "What do you think About that marc?" "It's awesome." "Is it 15 grand awesome?" "It's not 15 grand awesome." "Come on, man." "It's a cool truck, And they're pretty hard to find." "I mean, to be rust-free." "It's got a couple of whiskey Dents in it and whatever." "But, you know, you said You're from up in new york area?" "Yes." "You ain't gonna find A truck like this up there." "It'd be missing about everything From the body molding down." "That's true, but I think It's more of a 5," "Maybe 6 grand truck." "You got to be kidding me." "I mean, who do you think You are, gas monkey?" "The end of the day, This truck's gonna bring 12." "To 15 grand on the internet No matter what." "How 'bout $14,000?" "How 'bout $8,300?" "Come on, man." "What kind of number is $8,300?" "Who comes up with $8,300?"

"What we have today Is a 1965 volkswagen bug." "And a lot of monkeys." "Because aaron's on vacation," "But we wanted to build A proper bug," "So we had to start With a proper bug." "I really like it." "We needed eliot's help." "He's our go-to volkswagen guy." "So I called him and said," ""Hey, I need a good Bug to start with"" "'cause we don't have A lot of time," ""But we want to make A proper bug."" "yeah!" "This thing is In such great shape." "That I got with Coy and tony." "And I'm thinking this thing Can be saved, can't it?" "Yeah, as a matter of fact." "We didn't have to do anything." "The paint was buffed out." "And it saved you A lot of time and money." "Well, technically, y'all were Still on salary, weren't you?" "So maybe it didn't save you All that much money." "Yeah." "But it did save you time." "So, when it comes to powering This thing, talking with eliot." "And his guys about building Us a monster motor," "Well, monster costs money." "That's wicked." "And $5,500 later, we've got A pretty monster volkswagen." "Started off with a 1600 Cc motor making 40 horsepower." "Switched it over To the big motor." "Over 200 horse." "This thing, fast." "So, we reached out to our Friends at airkooled kustom vw." "And they hooked Us up big-time." "17-inch rims, brakes all The way around," "Custom front end To get it down low and mean," "Rear suspension, You name it." "This stuff all came in one Pallet and it came quick," "Which allowed us To meet our time frame." "Thanks, airkooled vw." "Boom." "When it comes to Installing the transaxle," "We reached out to our friends At rancho performance transaxles." "Because they make a unit That is super-easy to put in." "With that transaxle, We can get all that 200 horse." "To those sticky tires And make this one badass bug." "Hey, badass is my line." "I told the guys In the paint shop." "That I wanted the wheel centers To match the interior." "When they got painted The first time," "They were gray." "Can you explain that?" "You just said, "Match the interior,"." "Which we didn't have An interior color to go with," "So we just Started painting." "I painted a color that jason Told me to paint," "Then I painted a color That I thought looked good," "Then I painted a color That you picked out." "So, we only did it, Like, four times," "And we were all wrong." "In the end, We made them body color," "And that's not gonna Bug anyone." "To finish it off, We redid the interior," "Freshened up The brightwork," "And added a classic roof rack to Add a little old-school style." "So, there you have it, Guys and gals," "Our 1965 volkswagen bug." "Original paint, killer style, Killer power, ready for sale." "Give me a call." "What do you think aaron's Doing right now?" "It's kind of like Seeing your parents naked." "You don't want To think about it." "Hey, we'll see y'all back At the shop." "Yeah, you know what?" "Yeah." "Screw that." "Last time we crammed in this." "No thanks."
