00:00That's Chris Jacobs at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas.
00:10And that's AJ also having a blast at SEMA.
00:13And car designer Chip Foose, he was born to build at SEMA.
00:17And so was overhauling, as we return to Vegas for a very special show.
00:21We're taking Merrick's 67 Dodge Charger and we're reinventing it in front of the guests and gearheads here at SEMA.
00:27It'll be rebuilt and re-turned right before our car-crazy crowd.
00:31With Scott and Cheryl working as our insiders.
00:34Cheryl is our Mark's mom, Scott is his pal, and they'll keep Merrick in the dark as we prank it up Vegas style.
00:40No, I don't know anything.
00:42While Chip Foose and the A-Team make an A-plus Charger out of an old 67 Dodge.
00:46Here we're Merrick is our Mark.
00:48And his Charger is in for a change.
00:50Get ready. You're on overhauling.
00:52With the whole game dealt onto the table right now.
00:55In Las Vegas where the bets are doubled and a Dodge is getting one high stakes, high rolling visit from every joker in the deck here on overhauling.
01:07I am gasoline.
01:11That's right.
01:11I am gasoline.
01:16Matches.
01:17Our Mark Merrick owns a 67 Dodge Charger.
01:31His mom, Cheryl, is working as an insider for us.
01:34His friend, Scott, is also working the inside of the plan.
01:37It's a plan involving a Charger that a family has handed down for three generations, about to be made into Merrick's dream ride.
01:45But first, we got to go get it.
01:49It's a perfect Las Vegas night for me to steal a car.
01:52Along with the guys, of course.
01:54Are you ready?
01:55I'm ready.
01:56Las Vegas.
01:57Let's go.
01:59Our Mark's family has a repair place here in Vegas that goes by the name of Best Auto Shop.
02:03Merrick's 67 Dodge Charger has been in semi-retirement behind the shop.
02:07Our Mark wants to fix it up.
02:08That's okay, Merrick.
02:09We got your back.
02:10Yeah, baby.
02:11Chris hits the Rat Pack lingo here in Vegas.
02:14And even mild-mannered Foos is jazzed by the thrill of Sin City.
02:18Taking it to the strip.
02:19It's more like taking it to the car carrier and then to the convention center for SEMA.
02:23That's the Specialty Equipment Market Association that opens in five days.
02:27But we got to start early to unveil this car on time.
02:34All right, well, there she is.
02:36Merrick's 67 Dodge Charger.
02:38It's going to be a great show.
02:40Big episode of overhauling.
02:41We're at SEMA.
02:43Let's get the A-team out here.
02:44Come on, guys.
02:45Take a look at it.
02:45SEMA delivers the best in the auto industry,
02:51and this overhauling team is the best you can get under one tent.
02:54Oh, look at that action.
02:56Yeah, it's a very rare car.
02:57You don't see a lot of these,
02:59so I'm really looking forward to digging our teeth into this one.
03:01And compared to what we've been used to rust-wise,
03:03this isn't too bad off.
03:04I mean, we'll see the real deal once the...
03:05Hold on, hold on, hold on.
03:06Cross your fingers.
03:07Cross my fingers.
03:07Yeah, cross those.
03:08Because you really don't know what we got until we media blasted.
03:11Exactly.
03:11What do you think?
03:12Well, I've learned not to say really how many of these car
03:17until it's blasted.
03:19It's Vegas, baby.
03:20And our year one guys already have plans
03:22now that they've been digging in Merrick's Dodge.
03:25Build the slot machines now, boys.
03:27Yes, sir.
03:28I think it's pretty cool.
03:29I think big motor, big wheels, big brakes will be badass.
03:33We're at SEMA.
03:34This is huge.
03:35Got a great A-team.
03:36Let's get this show on the road.
03:38It'll get on the road with our captain, Chip Boose.
03:41Okay, it just has to be said right here on the outset.
03:44Mad props to Merrick and his whole Charger-happy family
03:47because it seems that they have kept this old Dodge
03:49in pretty darn good shape.
03:52Well, it looks okay from the outside.
03:54Already, we've discovered that this old car
03:56has the inner workings of, guess what, an old car,
03:59complete with bad brakes and a lot of aged and outdated gear.
04:02Still, it has retained its cool car status,
04:04and that's why Chip is excited.
04:06Eager to seize a charmer and take it off the charts,
04:08making it into something that will even wow the crowd here at SEMA.
04:12It's a challenge that fires up Boose.
04:14Making a rusty car solid again is one thing.
04:17Try taking a stylish Charger and creating it into a ride
04:19that makes the original car look flat-out plain.
04:25We are in Vegas.
04:26Let's strip it.
04:29Chip Boose is right again.
04:30We gotta get this car taken apart now.
04:33It's, ah, there we go.
04:35Piece by piece, Merrick's 67 Dodge Charger
04:38is becoming one big pile of parts.
04:41It's disassembly that's also a tough workout.
04:44939!
04:46940!
04:47It's a strong team here on this build,
04:49even though they sometimes need just a wee bit of adjustment
04:52in order to stay finely tuned.
04:54Well, I'm not the only one here with a major screw loose.
04:57In fact, I happen to know the approximate time.
04:59By 2 o'clock on day one, deconstruction,
05:02but we're having a little hold-up.
05:03Why?
05:03The wheels won't come off.
05:05Why?
05:05Locking lug nuts.
05:07Merrick didn't leave the key in the car, obviously,
05:09because he didn't want the wheels to get ripped off.
05:10Smart move.
05:11But Foose has a plan.
05:12He's going to fabricate a wheel key.
05:15Nothing is stronger than the resolve of Foose,
05:17especially when he wants to get somebody else's wheels off
05:20and put his wheels on a car.
05:21Job done.
05:22And elsewhere...
05:23The engine doesn't look too bad,
05:25but I think with a Hemi,
05:27he'll be a whole lot more impressed.
05:28Well, I'm impressed
05:29with just how fast this car is coming to park.
05:31And with a lot of help from our year one team,
05:33the Charger is giving up its headers.
05:35And that means that a major removal
05:37is just around the corner.
05:38So as that old engine gets the heave-ho,
05:40it all becomes a big tank.
05:42I'm glad I'm not unwiring you two.
05:44Okay, we need to get a little help
05:45from our crafty and devious overhauling insiders.
05:48There's nothing left.
05:50It must be easy.
05:52Oh, God!
05:52Tell me the history about this car.
05:56How did it go for you?
05:57Well, my grandmother bought it in 67.
05:59And then when she got arthritis
06:01and too old to drive it,
06:02she gave it to my husband.
06:05My husband passed away in 98.
06:08And when my son got old enough,
06:09we're going to fix up that car.
06:11And so we gave it to him for Christmas
06:13after he turned 16.
06:15What kind of guy is Merrick?
06:16He loves music.
06:18Thinks he's going to be a rock star.
06:20So what do you think he's going to do
06:22when he finds out it's pissing?
06:25He's going to start bawling?
06:27I think he's going to cuss,
06:28but she doesn't think so.
06:30He's not going to use bad language.
06:32Okay.
06:33Your dad and your great-grandmother
06:35would be so excited about this car for you.
06:38What a legacy.
06:39It's time to sit down with Chip.
06:41What I wanted to ask you guys is,
06:43what was Merrick's dream car out of this?
06:46If he could do anything to it,
06:47what do you believe he would have done?
06:49Something wild.
06:51That's him.
06:51He is pretty wild.
06:52He's wild.
06:53Something that stands out.
06:54Yeah.
06:56If you have an idea
06:57of what color he might have done with the car.
06:59It would be red or black.
07:01Red or black?
07:01Red or black.
07:02And do you think he would go with
07:03the smaller wheels or bigger wheels?
07:07Bigger wheels.
07:08Bigger wheels.
07:09I'm going to go ahead
07:09and create a couple sketches
07:10and I'll show them to you in a minute.
07:11All right.
07:12Thanks.
07:12All right.
07:12Goose is going to draw,
07:13and here's how it usually happens
07:15at this early stage.
07:16The insiders watch
07:17and they begin to forget
07:18about the actual car.
07:19They start to figure
07:20that the Mark is going to be real happy
07:21with the drawing alone.
07:23Of course, days later,
07:24the real shock comes
07:25when the ride ends up
07:26looking as cool as the sketch.
07:27That's the magic of our boy Chip,
07:29a guy who can have you swooning
07:30while the vehicle is still on paper.
07:33That's my first idea
07:34of what we could do.
07:35That's beautiful.
07:36Silver with a black top
07:37and the red stripe between.
07:39So he gets his red and black
07:40with something that's very subtle
07:42and he would go with the car.
07:44Okay, now what do you do?
07:45Now we build it like this.
07:47Yep, it's as simple as that.
07:49The A-team has a long night ahead of them
07:51with plenty of body work already on deck.
07:53Chip decides to have a few team meetings,
07:55getting plans worked out
07:56in these early hours,
07:57addressing every corner of the car.
07:59And once each individual crew is informed,
08:02Chip and many of the others
08:03head back to the body work,
08:04reinventing the car
08:05until the clock tells Foose
08:06that already they've been at this
08:08for a long time.
08:10Quarter four in the morning
08:11is still day one.
08:12It's about to roll into day two.
08:13Got to get this done
08:13as soon as possible
08:14so we can get this ready
08:15and over to paint.
08:16He's a determined young man.
08:18Is he not?
08:21All right, Craig.
08:22Morning of day two update.
08:24Well, the car's in great condition.
08:26Everyone's really happy.
08:27They're eager to work on it.
08:28It's not, oh, God, there's rust.
08:30So all in all, it's a good car.
08:32It's a good car
08:33with a good look
08:34now evolving on the side.
08:36So what are you up to right now, Charlie?
08:37Well, what we're doing now
08:38is we're welding up
08:39the top of the quarter.
08:41The way it was built
08:41from the factory
08:42had a pinch weld here.
08:43So what we're doing
08:44is we're actually cutting
08:45the pinch weld off
08:46and then welding that seam up.
08:48That change will lengthen the car,
08:50making Overhawn literally corner
08:52our most experienced man.
08:53You know, it's good to see
08:54everybody just hustling,
08:55working away on the car,
08:56but I got to tell you,
08:58my heart's breaking right now
08:59because all the experience here,
09:02nobody has near the experience
09:03that my father has.
09:05And Overhawn has just kind of
09:07shoved him back in the corner
09:08working on the car.
09:09Look at him.
09:10This is the legendary Sam Fuss.
09:12He's currently working
09:13on the body in the back of the car.
09:15Now, Sam, you guys disappeared
09:16this molding along here.
09:17You're continuing it.
09:18Right, the molding,
09:19it came back here,
09:20and of course,
09:21it didn't fit as nice as that,
09:22but we had to extend the quarter out
09:24to make it look right
09:25and finish the bumper.
09:27Sam and the rest of the A team
09:28are making this car look sweet.
09:30Another piece of Mopar fantamicism.
09:33Is that a word?
09:33Close enough.
09:34Meanwhile, the Hemi
09:35from Mopar Performance
09:36is on deck,
09:37and an old motor
09:37is going in for a mock-up.
09:39The 440 is real close
09:40to the Hemi
09:41with the center line in height,
09:44so we're gonna...
09:45We'll have to put this on hold
09:49for a couple minutes.
09:51I've never worked
09:52with a waterjet cutter before,
09:54and I heard that we're gonna
09:55have one here on the stage
09:56at SEMA,
09:57and I thought,
09:58what the heck
09:59are we gonna make with it?
10:00I think we've already made
10:01how many parts?
10:01Ten.
10:02Ten parts.
10:03We're not even done.
10:04It's only day two.
10:05I think we're gonna keep you guys busy.
10:07We're excited.
10:08All right.
10:09This is great.
10:10I love this kind of stuff.
10:11Very cool.
10:12Chip came to us
10:13because he wanted
10:14to make America design
10:15in the rear car.
10:16Working with Chip,
10:16we came up with this design
10:17that you see on the screen here.
10:19Now what we're gonna do
10:19is implement Chip's design
10:21by cutting this piece of metal
10:22on the Calypso waterjet system.
10:24Metal's on the table,
10:25machine's fired up.
10:27Action.
10:27The computer guides
10:28the robotic cutting tool,
10:30and the Calypso
10:30actually cuts through the metal
10:32with a laser-like jet of water.
10:34Well, here you have it, Merrick,
10:35your custom-designed foos grill.
10:37Hope you like it.
10:38Well, this is the door panel.
10:39They're gonna be wrapped in leather,
10:40red, as you can see.
10:42We have the center console.
10:42The center console's gonna be
10:43in black leather as well.
10:45And we have the Cobra seats
10:47that just came in today.
10:48We gotta talk to Chip
10:49and see what he decided to do.
10:51On the other end of our tent,
10:53Chip begins designing
10:54the custom Cobras
10:55from Merrick's charged-up charger,
10:57making the seats
10:57into one-of-a-kind
10:58red-and-black foos-step creations.
11:01They're gonna be stunners
11:02covered in keastin leather
11:03and brought to life
11:04by the team at Build Dunn,
11:05guys who know how to create an interior
11:07and do it with style.
11:08Meanwhile, back at the engine department...
11:11We're putting the mock-up block
11:14and transmission in here
11:15so we can make the mounts,
11:17put the intake manifold on it,
11:19and make sure that the carburetor
11:21is gonna clear the hood.
11:22If not, we'll have to make
11:23some minor modifications
11:24on the hood.
11:26All right, it's 10 after 8 p.m.,
11:28day two.
11:29We've been working real hard
11:29all day long.
11:30We've got the motor in the car.
11:31We're about to start it.
11:32He's funny and determined
11:33to make Merrick's car custom
11:35because there's a rumor
11:36he wants to put a shaker hood
11:37on the charger,
11:38a car that's an E-body.
11:40On Mopars,
11:41shakers are only seen on B-bodies,
11:43and once his measuring is complete...
11:44That's it.
11:45We are done.
11:48And the interior team
11:49taught him how to spell.
11:51Got a lot of bodywork
11:52going on behind me.
11:52Let's find out
11:53what the boys are doing.
11:55Andrew, what you got going on?
11:56I did him.
11:57I'm right here.
11:58What you doing, man?
11:59Sanding.
12:00What you got going on, man?
12:01It looks like I'm doing
12:02I'm sanding.
12:04Hey, Charlie,
12:05what you got going on?
12:09Sanding.
12:10Tony, what you got going on?
12:13Sanding.
12:14All right, well, there you have it.
12:15Looks like everybody's sanding.
12:17Thank you, Andreas.
12:18Now get sanding.
12:19It's day three here
12:22of overhauling America's 67 Charger
12:24at SEMA in Las Vegas.
12:25I'm with Les.
12:26He's from AFC Finishing Systems,
12:27the company that provided us
12:28with our paint booth for this show.
12:30This is a state-of-the-art
12:31downdraft spray booth.
12:32It has 1,075 BTU air makeup.
12:35What that means is basically
12:36you'll be able to cure
12:37at 170 degrees.
12:39So we're going to get the 67
12:40into the booth,
12:41primed, painted, baked,
12:42back to the set,
12:43get it back to America on time.
12:44The car needs a lot of body work
12:46before it's ready
12:47for that brand-new paint booth.
12:49The prep work always takes some time.
12:51You always want it to be correct.
12:53After it gets painted,
12:54you can't go back.
12:55Of course, more body work
12:56means later to paint,
12:57but these guys are determined
12:59to get it all right.
13:01We're just hanging
13:02all the fenders, doors,
13:04all the parts,
13:05get them all lined up.
13:06It's looking more like
13:07a finished car by the minute,
13:08but it's still not time
13:09for the paint just yet.
13:11There's a check of the hood
13:12to make sure it's all a fit,
13:13and that requires help
13:14in the engine compartment.
13:16So, Andrew, in you go.
13:17Every angle is inspected
13:19down here where it counts,
13:20and soon we know
13:21that the hood is good
13:22as the time for paint approaches,
13:24and it looks like that moment
13:25is finally here,
13:26with the car rolling over
13:27for a spray in the booth.
13:29All right, it's a little
13:29after 10 o'clock,
13:30day three in the evening.
13:32Charlie and Sean are about
13:33to go in and primer this car.
13:34They're not coming after us done.
13:36And if any of you thought
13:37that Foose was an easy guy
13:38to work for,
13:39well, think again.
13:41Elsewhere,
13:41ARC Audio is with the donor car.
13:44These are the ARC Audio
13:45Foose Signature Series 12-inch subs.
13:47Traditionally, most of the time
13:48when you look into a car
13:49or a trunk,
13:50you know, you only see
13:51the tops of the woofers.
13:52Well, we got to look
13:53into some things
13:53and discussing it.
13:54We thought it'd be nice
13:55to invert the woofers,
13:56turn them over,
13:56show this part of the woofer,
13:58and then also on the back
13:59of the woofer,
13:59we've got ARC with Foose
14:01and then Chip's signature
14:02on the back of the magnet.
14:04Merrick, can't wait
14:05to have you get in here
14:06and make some noise.
14:08That is gonna be so cool.
14:10You only thought
14:13that Chip was drawing before.
14:15That was all of his rough sketching.
14:16Now comes the finalized design,
14:18the detailed and precise painting
14:20that tells us exactly
14:21what this ride
14:21is really gonna look like.
14:23At this stage,
14:24the fine-tuning is extensive,
14:25and once Foose is finished,
14:27you'll believe you can actually
14:28drive away
14:28in one masterpiece
14:29of a picture.
14:30This is when the artist
14:32gives his design.
14:33Weight, dimension, shadow,
14:35reflection, depth, texture,
14:37color, attitude, shine, hue,
14:39perspective, chrome, glass, leather,
14:41and before I run out of breath here,
14:43a little thing called style.
14:44And if you stare at it long enough,
14:46you'll swear you're hearing
14:47that hemi roaring
14:48under the hood.
14:49All right, Merrick,
14:51that's what your car's
14:52gonna look like.
14:52We got the layout.
14:54Car's in the booth.
14:55Should be all primed up.
14:56Tomorrow we know
14:57what we're gonna lay out.
14:57Get some color on it.
14:58Now we should let
15:00those guys out of the booth.
15:02But for now,
15:03it's time to bring
15:03our Mark into the mix.
15:05As cops,
15:06Chris and year one's
15:07Kevin King go to see Merrick.
15:08But first,
15:09Scott calls the Mark
15:10from our camera van.
15:11Merrick.
15:13Yeah.
15:13Hey, what's going on?
15:14This is Scott.
15:15Hey, what's up?
15:16Hey, I've been trying
15:16to get a hold of you
15:17all morning, man.
15:18The shop was broken
15:19into last night.
15:21Yeah.
15:21And your charger
15:22is not here, dude.
15:24Are you serious?
15:25Yeah.
15:26I talked to some police officers
15:28this morning
15:28and I sent them
15:30over to your work.
15:32I'm not home.
15:33I'm not at work.
15:34Just get over there
15:34as soon as you can.
15:35They're supposed to be there
15:36in like 15, 20 minutes.
15:38Okay.
15:39All right?
15:40Okay, bye.
15:40Bye.
15:43Merrick arrives late
15:44and the detectives
15:45are not happy.
15:46It seems they suspect
15:47our Mark regarding
15:48the disappearance
15:49of his own car.
15:52Hey, Merrick.
15:54Detective Jordan,
15:55Las Vegas Metro.
15:56The cops asked
15:57to see his license
15:57and then put our Mark
15:58on the grill.
15:59You know why it got stolen?
16:00Why?
16:01You know anything
16:01about that?
16:02No.
16:03You're a suspect
16:03in this case.
16:04I think you should know that.
16:06I'm a suspect?
16:07Yes.
16:08Why?
16:09I haven't seen my car
16:10for like a month.
16:11It's a little bit
16:11suspicious to us.
16:13How much did you pay
16:13for that car?
16:14What car?
16:15The charger.
16:16It's my dad.
16:17Is it registered
16:18to your dad?
16:19It's registered
16:19to my mom.
16:20Then why is it
16:21your dad's car?
16:21Because it's my dad's
16:22and then he died.
16:23When did he die?
16:24About when I was 10
16:27and so I'm 18 now
16:28so that's about
16:28eight years ago.
16:29And all of a sudden
16:30it gets stolen?
16:31Yeah, obviously.
16:33What's obvious about this
16:34and why do you keep laughing?
16:35Do you want to tell us
16:35something right now?
16:36No, I don't know anything.
16:38Because this is me
16:38being friendly.
16:39You don't want
16:40to see me pissed off.
16:41My boss called me
16:42about one o'clock
16:43or so,
16:44told me that my car's stolen.
16:45I need to meet you guys here.
16:46That's all I know.
16:47My car doesn't even have brakes.
16:48I don't even know
16:49how anybody's going to steal it.
16:50I'm going to give you my card
16:51just in case you think
16:53of anything
16:53that you want to tell me.
16:55You give me a call.
16:56You don't want my card?
16:57No, I don't want it.
16:57Okay, so you're going
16:58to be a hard-on with me, huh?
16:59No, I just don't want it.
17:00Scott has it.
17:01He's the one dealing
17:01with the business.
17:02I want you to have it.
17:03I want to know
17:03that you have my information
17:04in case there's anything
17:05that you want to tell me.
17:06I'm telling you right now
17:07there's nothing that I know.
17:08Nothing that you know.
17:09I swear to God.
17:10So if I find out anything
17:11then we're going to have
17:12a real hard time together.
17:13If you find out anything
17:14saying that I stole a car
17:16you're going to,
17:17that's horrible
17:18because I...
17:19Are you using bad language
17:20with me now?
17:21No, I'm not using bad language.
17:21How about you show
17:22a little respect to me?
17:23I am showing respect to you.
17:24I'm not cussing at you.
17:25You understanding
17:26what I'm getting at here?
17:27Yes, I understand.
17:27Anything you want to tell me
17:29you call me
17:29because if I have to find
17:30something out about you
17:31I am not going to be happy.
17:32And this is me happy right now.
17:34And I am not going
17:35to be happy with you.
17:36You're not going to find
17:37anything out
17:37because I don't know anything
17:38and why would I steal my own car?
17:40Well, that's what
17:41we're going to find out, isn't it?
17:42We're going to be watching you, Merrick.
17:44So you better watch your step.
17:45Good.
17:48Merrick is one tough nut to crack.
17:54Of course, he has no reason to crack.
17:56He has no idea
17:57why the police think he's involved.
17:59This is the shaker hood.
18:00You know, when you start the car
18:02you'll see the shaker
18:03outside the hood.
18:04You're not moving inside the car
18:05but the hood, you know,
18:06the motor and all that
18:07is shaking underneath.
18:08As we said, this will be custom.
18:10The shaker normally came
18:10on the e-body.
18:11It's a Challenger and the Cuda
18:12and I've never seen it
18:14on a charger
18:14but we're fitting this
18:15on the motor
18:16seeing what the height
18:17is going to be.
18:17We've got to take
18:17some measurements
18:18and get that hood cut
18:19so we can get it painted
18:20and get it finished
18:20and back to Merrick on D-Day.
18:22If it's going to happen
18:23Foose and the guys
18:24had better shake it
18:25needing exact measurements
18:26to make this work.
18:27It's a job made
18:28all the more challenging
18:29with the Hemi doing the shaking
18:30still out of the charger.
18:32The cutting for the procedure
18:33has to begin now or never.
18:35Well Merrick,
18:36we've located the position
18:37of your shaker's hoop.
18:39Once we cut this
18:40we're committed.
18:41With every car he redesigns
18:42Foose figures out
18:43what's possible
18:44just as he sets out
18:45to do the impossible.
18:47We're committed, Merrick.
18:52Merrick was supposed
18:53to call his mom
18:54after meeting with the police
18:55aka Kevin King and me
18:57but he didn't
18:58so she's calling him.
19:00Hello?
19:00Merrick, you haven't called me.
19:01What's going on?
19:03That cop was accusing me
19:05of stealing my own car
19:05and he's being a jerk.
19:07You're kidding!
19:08I swear!
19:09What'd he say?
19:10Merrick tells his mom
19:11the whole story
19:12of his encounter
19:12with the cops
19:13growing more and more upset
19:15as the call goes on.
19:17Oh my gosh.
19:18I said I don't have
19:19nothing to confess to you.
19:20He's like
19:20if I find out
19:21you stole this car
19:22Merrick
19:22and I find out
19:23you'd be real pissed off.
19:25I said I don't care
19:26if you're pissed off
19:26I'm still nothing
19:27and if you find anything
19:28you're not going to find anything
19:29so I don't care.
19:30Were you using foul language?
19:32I wasn't.
19:34Merrick.
19:35I said I swear!
19:36Okay, Merrick
19:37did they tell you
19:39that they think
19:39somebody else stole it too
19:40or are they just
19:41accusing you?
19:42No, they didn't need
19:43to say anything else
19:44they didn't even say
19:44they're going to point it
19:45they said they think
19:46I stole it
19:46and they're going to
19:47keep watching me.
19:48Alright, sweetie
19:49are you okay?
19:50Yeah.
19:51Alright, we'll talk to you

21:09anything like that
21:10when I started
21:11this whole process
21:12Merrick we brought
21:13you out a Bowler

21:16transmission
21:17uh what we do

21:19we actually custom
21:20build every transmission
21:21per application
21:22you're not only
21:23getting a Hemi
21:24you're also getting
21:24a tranny from Bowler
21:25complete with parts
21:26from Summit
21:27and Gear Vendors

21:33all the focus we have
21:34to get Merrick's ride
21:35done on time
21:36what we're doing now
21:39is we're laying out
21:40to shoot the silver
21:42it's a two-tone paint
21:43scheme black on top
21:44silver bottom
21:45once the silver's shot
21:46we'll mask off the two-tone
21:48shoot the black
21:48clear it
21:49fake it
21:50turn it over to the
21:52other boys to assemble
21:53okay guys it's spray time
21:55as the paint goes on
21:58Merrick's 67 Charger
21:59we again check out
22:00the radical design
22:01that who's put to paper
22:02our marks Dodge

22:06best painters
22:07in the automotive business
22:08Charlie is a guy
