01x12 - NASCAR Street Sweeper

Post by bunniefuu »

Hello, Monster fans, Monster

Garage is on the road

this week in the capital of

car racing North Carolina.

We're Jesse James is getting his learners

permit in a 750 horsepower

Kyle Pellie NASCAR.

That's my goal.

Big American muscle car.

We're about to king size your monster.

King Jesse is in the house, so is King

Richard the fast and a man named Kyle.

So put the dog out, tighten

your nuts and buckle up

because a king size muster

garage is just around the bend.

Now good work now, man.

Right time's over.

Join us now as Jesse and his

g*ng of Maverick mechanics.

Rip grind in burn,

transforming a not so

ordinary race car into

a monster machine in the monster garage.

This week's challenge take a

high performance thoroughbred

Winston Cup race car and transform

it into a street sweeper.

The rules.

When built.

The monster machine

must appear to be stuck.

The team can spend no

more than three G's.

Jesse and his crew have seven days in

night to design, build and race the car.

If successful, each team member receives

a Mac tools kit worth 3400 bucks.

After this competition, the

monster will be auctioned

off with all proceeds going

to the Victory Junction g*ng,

a camp that Kyle Petty founded for

children with chronic diseases.

And a clock starts now.

Day one, the race is on.

The motor is still hot.

The smell of exhaust is in the air.

Jesse's design team

gathers to turn this stock

race car into a super

speed street sweeper.

Jesse James, the direct descendant

of the legendary outlaw,

has made his name building custom

choppers that make the ground thunder.

But this week, he travels

to North Carolina,

the home of stock car racing.

The monster team has been invited

to the garages of the most

famous racing family of the

modern day stock car circuit.

The Petty clan.

People always say, what's it

like to have rich pay for five?

I don't know, only father ever had.

I just thought he was normal.

I tell people all the time,

I was nine years old before

I realized everybody's

family didn't have race cars.

I thought just what everybody did for

a living, they just had race cars.

So here's the challenge.

Make a NASCAR into a street sweeper.

That thing looks really slow.

Yeah.

I want to keep it so

the car still goes fast.

I don't want to modify anything that's

really going to make it go slow.

Those sweepers actually do run

between one to five miles an hour.

We're this particular

one you look at as a high

speed performance sweeper

we use on runways.

And it's 15 mile an hour sweeper,

which consider to run a ship for us.

I work for Tim Cohen International

and we build street sweepers.

Been there for 14 years

as a design engineer.

I've always loved racing.

I've got a drag car

that we race right now.

It's a 96-core vest from

850 to 161 miles an hour.

That's like a genius.

It's got to be stopped and built

into you to be a real gear head.

We can make anything out

of anything if you want to.

We've got to have four

main things that I know of.

I can sweeper.

I'd be in the gutter broom.

Pick up head.

The blower and the debris hopper.

So there's only really two elements to it

is sweeping the stuff

towards the center and

vacuuming it up basically.

Sounds easy enough but we

don't have a lot of room.

The car's a design pretty much to

have just what it needs to go fast.

First, I enterprise them in here here.

Open that car for number years.

I love racing.

I love race cars.

Yeah, race is very addictive.

It's a matter of how fast you run

and you always want to run fast.

And you always want

to beat the other guy.

Don't throw for the race to

get to the finish line first.

If you're not first, I want to know.

It means that somebody else was

better at what we do than we are.

I want to put all of this stuff on a

race car and it's going to be real heavy.

I think it's going to be difficult.

I think it's going to be a trick squeezing

shoe horning everything in there.

The challenge is clear.

A street sweeper is one of the

world's most sluggish vehicles.

On the other hand, a Winston Cup

race car is built for one purpose.

How to effectively put the brushes

in the front of the stock car.

The blower on the passenger side.

And the pickup head in the

rear is a race car dilemma.

So we got to have fast idea

about the sucking part.

Now it's just the gutter brushes.

I'm worried about the

retraction of those.

You want to put a thousand pounds in

this thing and go 200 miles an hour.

So you're saying maybe

this isn't a good idea.

Any of this stuff that

you put on there if it

touches the ground, you're

going to crash the car.

This is definitely a vehicle.

A lot of people will be talking about.

Albert, you designed

over 30 cars for Ford.

Now he has to learn the

first rule of designing

a monster for getting

everything he's learned.

As a designer, I always think

about making a design up here.

It's better.

But this is adding these stuff on it.

It definitely doesn't

make him look any better.

I think we need to keep like a

race car mentality with this.

Jesse leads the design

team over to inspect the

underbelly of the

meticulously engineered beast.

Looking at the car, you

can see we've got

We don't have as much

space as you think we do.

And everything on top, everything's

got to stay above these frame rails.

We need to make sure that we

keep things away from the tires.

Because at 160 miles an

hour, 180 miles an hour,

these tires will curl

in around the corner.

It's pretty big and nice under here.

You know, easily some of the

cars we have to produce in cars.

But this is cool.

Day 2 7 AM, Jesse and

the builders arrive for

their first day of stock

car indoctrination.

Jim Reeves from Calbertaxis,

overhauls jet engines for a living.

Dave Jones is a custom fabricator

from the Bayou, Walker, Louisiana.

From Sacramento, California, Laura

Parker is Miss Welding Extraordinary.

And two members stay on

from the design team.

The first is our sweeper expert,

Bobby Brock, from Waco, Texas.

And John Batik, our

engineering specialist from

Petty Enterprises, Hales

from the North, New Jersey.

Jesse unveils Kyle

Petty's Winston Cup car.

What do you think, guys?

Goal. The team seems apprehensive.

Fast.

Yep.

I think we're going to make the

world's fastest street sweeper.

This isn't going to be easy.

It's going to be of my

most important, so we

make sure it's so fast

but safe at the same time.

And picks up trash.

And picks up trash.

Cutter breams.

Absolutely.

That's a cool name.

Let's get started.

Okay, Brock parts, Jesse, we got

pick up heads, gutter breams.

Bobby shows a team, a car load of must

-have sweeper parts, purchased from Timco.

These parts must somehow

miraculously fit into the race car.

It takes two to carry the blower and

even more to pick up the pick-up head.

Yeah.

It better be gone.

I can't believe you got

to put this in a race car.

There's nothing on it that

doesn't make it go fast.

Everything's balanced and set

up right where it needs to be.

So putting all this pumps and

blowers and gutter brushes.

That was never planned.

When assembled, the parts of the sweeper

form what's called a

closed loop air system.

A blower forces air

through a pick-up head and

enabling it to suck up trash

and dump it in the hopper.

This is the first car I'm going

to have a little respect for.

That we've done.

Usually I just pull out a

plasma or a torch and start

relentlessly cutting away

everything I don't like.

Everything under here

is going to have to stay

pretty much the same for

the street sweeper concept.

Because this is all absolutely meant in

thought if we're getting

around the race track.

We're going to start pulling all this

stuff apart, try to make some room.

First, it's the deck lid.

Then the rear window.

Yeah, there you go.

Off with the fuel filler tube.

And then the 26 gallon fuel cell.

I'm going to try to be a little bit

in the article about taking it apart.

So we're not ruining anything

structural on the car.

Petty engineer, John

Babick, feels every cut.

It always makes me sad to

cut up a good race car.

Jim and Laura team up

on the front of the car.

Cutting away the fenders to make way for

some stock sweeper parts, gutter brooms.

Typically the only time that we're

cutting some out of race cars

has been wrecked and we're going

to cut it off and throw it away.

Jesse cuts out the fuel tank

protector and it's cradle.

Anything that we cut

off, we're cutting off

some kind of a purpose for the race car.

We need to put that

back in somewhere else.

So we're being very, very

selective what we're cutting out.

And what we are cutting out,

we're making sure that something

else is taking care of the

function of what we cut off.

And I'm just a matter

of making it all fit.

The floor is too big

and too heavy to bad.

They need it to make their monster suck.

And it looks like an impossible task until

John Babick decides to do some editing.

More.

Jesse, I say let's cut.

L.A. Dave trims the fat off the well.

The owner of the car, third

generation NASCAR race

driver Kyle Petty drops

by to assess the damage.

What are you doing man?

I can't pick cutting your car apart.

We are taking $100,000 race car.

And we're going to chop this thing up.

That was a good race car too.

How do you do with all that stuff?

This car right here probably

has two or three races on it.

It's a pretty new race car.

I'm anxious to see how it drives.

You know what I'm doing?

It's just not enough room to

get everything in the car.

As well as once it's in the car,

we'll have enough room to assemble it.

As an alternative, we're just going

to cut the side of the car off.

If we do it carefully, we'll

be able to put it all back

in and you won't be able to

tell if we didn't end it.

Yeah, I'll cut those

bars. That should be okay.

When you come in and you look

at it and you cut out the trunk,

or you cut out the

decaly at the car, or you

move the fuel cell around,

then you say, okay.

That's good. That's

perfect. That works perfect.

But what happens if I get

into the wall at $150,000?

What is that there? So you have to

look ahead and you have to plan ahead.

Day three begins with a

little petty racing history.

See the metal part.

We're a frame roughness.

Okay, with a frame roof, that

was the original race shot.

We're telling they need a more room.

They just build enough

room for another car.

And when they need a more room, they

build enough room for another car.

That part of the shop right

there was built in 1948.

Kyle takes the team on a world

-wind tour of petty enterprises.

It's everything's got to, it's

just like regular old names.

Like gear and transmission

room, tire room.

That's what it is.

We've spent just about three

million dollars in tires this year.

There only may be put on

a car, run about 60 laps,

maybe about 75 miles, some places,

and there are no good anymore.

It's back to work. The dirty business

of making a race car clean up its act.

It's got to get a vision run to put

the gutter room so that it's not only

hidden when it's retracted

and not into the tire,

but also when it comes out and it's

open that it's out in front of the tire

and out across the side of the car to

keep everything underneath the car.

Without these gutter rooms, it

would just be a vacuum cleaner.

Jesse and L.A. Dave eyeballed a heavy

pickup head against the car's rear end.

I don't think we're going

on a drive like that.

Loading a race car with an

extra 500 pounds of equipment,

and making it go 160 miles

per hour look good on paper,

but someone has to try it.

When you're feeling pointed, monster

grabs your fireman ever going to say,

hmm, maybe in the sense

that you get idea.

Is someone having second thoughts?

It's my idea that the

thing that sucks about it,

Kyle's my friend and it was my idea.

When that someone is Jesse James,

self-doubt is sent packing

by self-confidence.

We're going to make a four-link setup,

so this whole thing sits

flush against this rear frame.

In order to make the pickup head

disappear into the body of the car,

Jesse has chosen a four

-link lifting mechanism.

Jesse's four-link setup will use four

actuators to lift the pickup head

into the back of the car.

Jesse goes to the sweeper expert

to get his expert opinion.

Hey, Bobby, what do you think?

I'm going to put a crossbar

here and do the four-link setup,

so it sits here and swivels down.

Well, we just normally

take with just two-links,

like these little drag links.

You know what I'm talking about?

It's just two simple links, that's all.

Just let's move in parts.

There's a disagreement between the

team leader and the sweeper expert.

For Bobby, Jesse's four

-link system is overkill.

He thinks just two-links will be

enough to lift the sweeper head.

We're going to try to put them in.

Get it complicated with our

stuff and it winds up failing.

What, Jesse is building a four-bar linkage

for the pickup head was complicated.

Sample is always the best way.

Do you want to do it himself?

Let him.

I'll go home.

Jesse has trust in his teammates,

but when the rubber hits the road.

They don't have to do one-fifty in it.

You know.

If I hit the wall because

something's screwed up,

you know, they're not

going to feel the pain.

Tell that catch him.

For now, Jesse's giving

Bobby a lot of rope.

Just enough to hang himself.

Hi, noon, day three.

The time to build is already half gone.

And the NASCAR sweeper is turning

out to be a monster load of work.

Everything we've been doing right now,

we're so overwhelmed with

how much work we have to do.

Everybody's kind of working

in their own little area.

LA Dave shortens the pickup head

to a little hang by two links

under the back side of the car.

The well-built cars, the same

they're letting us do this to it.

I've always been raised

up around the car.

Pretty much anything with wheels.

I don't know.

If I have a job build custom cars,

we'll fix things that other people

who tried to do that didn't work out.

Pretty neat to be here in a

petty garage and just really,

I know people that would sell their

children to be here right now.

Just where I'm from.

This is a big deal.

Laura and Jim continue their work

on the front end of the race park.

We think we're on the

most important part,

because we're hanging

in front of the wheels.

My background to bring me to

monster garage is in fabrication,

welding, machining, tool making.

I like to feel like I've tried a

lot of different things in life.

This is my hand to see a modified

car that we built into my son drives.

If it drinks gasoline, uses

oil, makes a lot of noise,

I'm going to be a part of it.

This is the build, build to live.

Jim and Laura begin the complicated process

of installing the main stabilizing arm

of the gutter brooms.

Good job.

With the main arm correctly positioned,

the next step is to install

an actuator under the car,

so it can retract the brush on command.

We have to dream up a mounting system,

because right here is just a

radiator, it's all aluminum,

so we can't really tie into that.

I see art at the junior college level,

but I also teach out of

a welding department.

I teach male fabrication

in ornamental iron,

so literally I do live in two worlds.

I saw a 47 Dodge and fell in

love with the shape of it.

You can see I've got a

lot of work in this piece,

so I need to get on how to grow them,

so when that tool should have

the tool to make this part.

When a helmet comes down,

it's the smell of that smoke

that permeates all your clothes

that's when you get in the zone,

and you see that molten

pull and it's all good.

I don't know if I have

any rocks to get off,

but if I did, they would

be off with this vehicle.

This is great.

A few more more of perfect welds,

and the first gutter broom goes on.

Here we go.

It was easy everybody would be doing.

The gutter brooms are hanging in place.

They move in and out.

They need to put some

new fenders back on,

but they have no idea how

hard that's going to be.

Day 3 throttles down.

The team gets a little

taste of southern cooking.

Today's special, broom broom broom.

The aura has the effect.

Get up.

The warrior creep pissed.

It became cancer.

Early morning.

The car is still a work in progress.

The front end has some

brushes and that's about it.

The blower assembly is

still big and uninstalled.

The back end is just an empty trunk.

When the going gets tough,

the tough goes shopping.

Bobby and John need an engine

to power on the sweeper.

What we're actually doing

is taking one of his

race cars and converting

it to a street sweeper.

A street sweeper?

Oh my god.

This 24 horsepower motor will be the air

pumping heart of their monster sweeper.

This is really a key piece

to make an everything work.

In this case, key me, it's pricey.

I can't find him.

Jesse doesn't need a plasma

torch to do some serious cutting.

This week's victim, Bobby.

You're going to be all right.

Working with that, Bob?

Yeah, you're good.

He's a hand-tocker.

This is the rear deck.

What are you doing some karate there?

Cutter brooms are

closely guarded secrets.

No gutter will be broomed

until Bobby says so.

John shows off his considerable

garage skills, whipping

together a slick support track

for the blower and motor.

All right.

I'm going to miss a good.

That'll be our belt that just

We're not playing around here.

Yeah.

Looking great.

He's the heart and soul

of the backing assembly.

Without this, we have no sock.

Something like this is a first shot.

This is the first one we're building.

It's not something you can just draw

out and then build exactly the drawing.

Every minute you work

on this, you learn more.

I got a different chance of something.

It's time to find out

if the 95-pound motor

and the bloated blower

will fit inside a NASCAR

Racer.

This is my luck in a draw.

The damn thing fits.

Jesse has a neck for monsterizing

custom exhaust pipes.

The petty crew gives Jesse what they

call the North Carolina Weld test.

You like the North Carolina Weld test?

I didn't jump.

He's now with one of the game.

He's the bottom end of the split.

I think too far out.

As you can see, Jesse's

finished his exhaust.

The blower and motor are in place.

John installs a power steering pump

to put the spin on the gutter brooms.

The team is falling behind schedule.

They need help.

Luckily, they don't have

to go far to find it.

My husband came along

just to view the show.

Since it is day four, and

we could use an extra hand.

We told him to get off this

duck and come in and help.

They're always complaining

that women drag them around

to the stores, to the

malls, to the outlets.

And we're no different

except that large drags

made it a welding store.

It's crowded, but it fits.

The sweeper's got a heart.

That's my friend.

Sexy packaging.

Sexy packaging is nice,

but will it rhyme?

So, I'm going to try

to run the motor here.

Let's cross some fingers, huh?

Oh yeah, it's going to

get down to just fine.

With the engine and blower

and working condition,

the team gets a hands-on look

at life in the NASCAR fast lane.

The car gets in and clears you.

You'll run.

Kyle's 18 makes it look easy.

The monster crew, don't look.

One second has a very,

very, very, very slow.

Day five, the wee hours and

the team is falling behind.

A lot of work.

In 50 years, any enterprises

is not missed the race,

because the car wasn't finished.

I would pretend like today was last day.

We may run out of time.

The team's to do list goes

from the front to the back,

and it looks like there's

an early morning problem.

The pickup head is not raising properly.

The team's plan is a skew.

Pick up like this, it's not.

It's actually picking up crooked.

Bobby, we got both sides working here.

Bobby's tooling setup is

tested and fails miserably.

One of the actuators burnt out

trying to lift the heavy pickup head.

It's just too much for two links.

We've got to eight inch lift.

We're going to have four

inches of actuators.

And 150 miles an hour,

a quarter inch bowl.

It catches like an edge.

Your bumping hits those.

It's going to snap the brackets

for the actuators right off.

And then plus seven, the two links setup.

Bob's idea.

That idea.

This piece sucks.

Okay.

This is supposed to suck.

This is not.

What do I know?

I just build one of these every week.

Jesse's head enough.

He takes control of the situation.

That way sucks.

In order to 12 inch actuators, capable

of lifting 300 pounds of peace.

Let's call and see if we can get him.

In the middle of day five, with

the team trying to focus on work,

the biggest distraction of all appears.

Y'all done to our race car.

The greatest NASCAR racer in history

and the man behind this

empire, Richard Petty,

the king, drops by for a visit.

All right.

Wow.

Is that second up?

What does that do?

The blowing.

The dirt from one side

sucking it from the other.

What do you think of that?

Are we ruining it?

That was a nice race car

when you all started.

Did you like to give it a spin?

Not me, man.

I can stand back and watch.

Don't get on the top

row of the grandstand.

I'm not.

Okay, stuff flies loose.

You know?

The king walking the building.

It was just like

everybody stopped working.

I mean, it's just total filies.

He's the person just like me

and you, but by the same token,

when you're talking to him, he's just

feeling like you're an absolute giant.

Hi.

Hi.

How are you doing?

You're the facial welder.

I'm the facial girl welder.

You're the facial welder.

You're the facial welder.

You're the facial welder.

Not to you.

It's one thing to talk

about knowing who he

is, but to actually

have him standing here,

talking about the car

that we're tearing apart.

Wow.

It's the as*h*le in the world after now.

Of course, you can see

his whole new world.

When it takes a race car,

I'm like a sweeper out of it.

Yeah, I'll go back to work now, man.

Break time's over.

Yeah, I'll get it going.

See ya.

The King has not the building.

It's back to the gutter brooms.

Before fabricating the front fenders,

the car is lowered to

test for ground clearance.

We actually have room

clearance about them out.

An additional three-inch platform

is added to simulate track surface.

Jim and Laura now mock up a

front-end work configuration.

And then retract up.

A steady stream of petty

crew members watch intently,

and anxiously awaiting

the finished creation.

When you do this stuff every day,

you can't just sit over

and watch them tear apart,

not do it the right way.

So you sort of have to jump in and help.

Joining in from petty enterprises

is Scott Spellman and Corey Sane,

Custom Stock Car fabricators.

Troy Martin has an eye

for the future as the

head of research and

development for petty.

Scott takes it upon himself to fabricate

a customized fender for the sweeper,

which is aerodynamically

designed to push the

hybrid car down at high

speeds on the track.

In racing terms, it's known as downforce.

I'm stretching the

metal to create a flare.

I just shrink it very lightly.

You get the edge nice

and true and straight.

One squeeze too much, and you can lose

the whole shape that you're looking for.

My job here is from the center

of the door fold, I feel.

Every single ball right, every

single Winston Cup car is hand made.

Scott's the Michelangelo of metal.

He just did an incredible amount of work.

Scott Spender is a drag.

When extended, it would hit

the track and rip apart.

Okay, we're going to have a problem.

It's back to the drawing board.

I'm concerned this is

the key thing right here.

There's an order for this car to drive.

These wheels have to roll

and they have to steer.

And all this stuff is mounted

in front of these tires.

This cannot fail.

We've got taking over

the lead at the front.

Bobby is quick to stir up a little

controversy about whether this is a race car

or a street sweeper first.

I can't make a 100% race car.

No way.

I'm making race cars.

100% sweeper.

It's got to be cognizant

both sides to make it work.

Race car first, street sweeper.

That's the way I see it.

The closer Scott gets to

solving the front end dilemma,

the more creative he becomes.

Scott welds the right front skewer.

As a precautionary measure,

he adds a roller bearing ramp.

To keep the new fender from

digging into the track surface.

I need to completely duplicate all of

that work into the right front corner.

The clock counts down

and the car is still

a long way from race

car or street sweeper.

Bobby's got the back.

His hopper platform easily

settles into the trunk.

And he embarks on crafting the

piece where the garbage sleeps.

So that's roughly where the

hopper's going to look like.

We now have a hopper.

After five, tenst days, push

his finally turn to shove.

It's a battle between two no-it-alls.

One knows everything, the

other, everything else.

The hopper is not under pressure.

It's under backing, man.

It's sucking back there.

It's not blowing.

It is sucking because the

only thing that got done,

you have to say, what's

two bones go well with it.

Where?

We've got to be done tomorrow.

Hey, we're going to get it.

Oh, well, he'll figure it out.

We'll get him lined out on

a range of air concepts.

Very soon.

You know, I have no clue anybody.

Thinking our hopper's pressure house.

That's not even close.

Under vacuum, dude.

I'm quite aware that it's under vacuum.

But our racecar bodies are not

designed not right under vacuum.

There's just enough sheet metal there

to keep the aerodynamic forces out.

There's not enough to end more.

We can take care of that.

I know how to make sheet

metal work with vacuum.

That's my world.

Don't tell me about it. Let's just do it.

I was building sweepers before John

even knew what the sweeper was.

He's a little bit of a c*ck son of a

Kyle breaks the tension as he

checks the progress of his race car.

Let's begin in to take shape.

Take a shape.

I have that figured you come

in there and ask what the hell

we're doing.

I didn't envision this.

Maybe like, putting a man on

the moon for the first time.

I'm not sure what it's going to be like.

I don't have a clue.

You think I'm going to be scared?

As they get closer to finishing the

car, Kyle briefs Jesse on driving it.

Can you drive the race car?

For me, you're in your own little world.

It's your world.

On a highway, you have to drive

defensively on the race track.

You drive offensively.

It feels like God's up above you and

he's just pushing down on your car

and driving it exactly where

you want to set the going.

That's how simple it is.

Good deal, man.

Thank you.

I'm forward to it.

Appreciate you letting

that come here and do this.

No, thank you guys for coming, man.

Don't move a muscle till it's a

great day for much in the race.

Jesse James is taking out the track.

You'll come back now, you hear?

Day 6 in the car is just

a non-functioning hybrid

as the team waits for

crucial parts to arrive.

To pick up head, your pick comes off.

It can turn this car

into a spin real quick.

Don't you agree, Josh?

Yeah, pick up head.

It's being unknown right now.

Yeah.

So I'll make sure that it's safe.

They won't earn anybody.

Over night delivery became

a second day nightmare,

but the new and more powerful

linear actuators have arrived

with no time to spare.

The top of the actuator usually

fits onto their trunk valve

but a bottom bracket needs to

be welded onto the pickup head.

The actuator is in place,

but we haven't had a

successful test in him yet.

We're wiring them up

so we have some power.

Okay, John, let's move this thing up.

Oh, yeah, look at that.

Look how nice it's straight

to him who's up there.

Come on up, come on up, come on up.

Nice job.

Nice job.

Maybe it's rock solid.

Oh, yeah.

It's finally starting

to turn for Team NASCAR.

The roll bars are secured.

And the sweeper tubing is connected

from the lower to the pickup head.

We're in time to stand right now.

We're in up behind the motor.

We ran wires for the actuators.

Left front is buttoned up.

You just need to run hydraulic fluid

and finish button up

your electronics for it.

Hydraulic fluid will

flow through the pump

to power the brushes.

With less than eight hours left to go,

John has taken the wheel of command,

and Bobby is a backseat soccer.

I've done my part, and

we're listening to me.

John Bobby's not doing much at all.

I hope that you know.

I'm not going to piss his arm.

But so, his arm is not

going to do good work.

John's gonna learn some

farm boy engineering today.

That's what he's fixing learned.

Like I don't know how to

pump the tire from that.

This is 30 minutes.

He talks about building race cars,

believing when I work at

Hydraulics in the living.

I can take a look at that.

He's just ignorant of the farm boy way.

The petty crew knows more than one way

around a race car.

Scott duplicates the front

fender on the left side.

And Corey cuts out a new rear window.

You guys ready?

Let's do that again.

Let's go for it.

John fires up the engine to test the

hydraulics for the front brushes.

And gets hit with a caution flag.

Slow speed ahead.

You've got a broom to turn

him, but the turn very slowly.

We think it's a flow issue.

I hope that self is not

making enough pressure.

We're moving in the flow.

The power of the motors that we have.

I've done what I can.

Listen, if they have a hard

volume pump, we don't have it.

I'm a little agitated right now.

Put on there.

He gave me all his peck.

I gave him all the peck that our pumps,

and he said everything would work.

Now he hasn't been involved

for the last two days.

I want to cut the work.

It's all in the flow.

It's not a flow, it's pressure.

All of those motors are worn out.

I'm leaking too much.

We've got six and a half hours.

We're going to do it in

six and a half hours.

Okay, then we're going to have to try.

We're going to have to try my way then.

Go for it.

Fine.

You go for it.

It looks like our dueling experts

need a little monster science.

Pressure times flow over

time squared equals ego.

This is the delay.

Yeah.

That's pretty big delay.

Surprisingly, it turns

out both were wrong.

The c*ck farm boy and

the over egoed engineer

installed the hydraulic pump wrong.

They reversed the hoses.

They're corrected.

The brush is spin.

It's time to put their

monster to the test.

The challenge is to suck up the

cans of dirt that's on the ground.

Well, their monster race

car sweeper truly suck,

or will it just not work.

Laura feed some garbage

to the pickup head

to see if the regenerative air

system is making it hungry.

All right, let's see

if we've got some cans.

There's the number one can.

Can number two.

Works.

Five, Dave.

After five, 10 days with all the streets

we've been components

installed in the car,

the checkered flag is inside.

With 12 minutes to go,

the team rolls the car out

to the petty parking lot

to test it on the asphalt.

This is the kick transformation

in the right direction.

Success with four minutes

and forty seconds to spare.

The build crew can head home

for some well-deserved rest.

But as their work comes to a close, paint

g*n slinger Tom Pruitt's

work has just begun.

I'm going to lace a white primer sealer

down, base coat, it was a cylinder red.

I put a little bit of ice-red pearl down,

for the average car

like this you put about

a teaspoon.

But for this car, piece of Jesse,

I'm going to use the whole bed.

We're going to give it a pinch

of the red metal plate here.

We're going to quick cure it and

we're going to lay out a flame job.

Base coat the rest of the car black.

This thing should be the

brightest car on the track.

Hello monsters hands, the big swag you're

alone with my crew chief, Frankie White

This is the pit, pal.

What do you mean it's a great day

for another monster odd challenge?

No, you a big lug nut, this is the pit.

Pit row at the Atlanta Motor Speedway.

What's up with the number 45 swag?

That 45 is not just a number.

It's a name, Petty, as in Kyle.

You've got to be kidding me, you mean

Kyle's going to be driving this thing?

Hit no tighter head.

He's leaving it to the dude,

but none of the fire suit.

He's been all body.

Jesse James.

Gunner Buster knows faster.

It'll turn 92 hundred RPM.

Make 750 horsepower and

hit 200 down the strike.

Jesse's going up against the real McCoy.

Timco's flagship model

435 street sweeper.

And look at the crowd.

They're going in.

Everybody loves Jesse.

Give us the rules, little Frankie.

You got it, swag man.

Both sweepers have to pick

up two miles of crushed cans.

But here's the catch.

Jesse has to do two laps in gutter rooms.

The sweeper, just one.

Crew chief John Babak

gives Jesse the good word.

He's got to go.

Peter up.

Peter.

Looks like they're set.

Jimmy Howard from NASCAR has

the green flag in his hand.

Gentlemen, start your brushes.

Go ahead.

And there are two hell of a

pretty slow start there, Frankie.

What's going on?

They got to clean up before

they get to go out and play.

Jesse drops the pickup head.

And sucks it up like a pro.

The streets we first suckered him, Frank.

He's got an early lead.

Jesse's dropped the hammer.

Hell, he's dropped the whole bit.

No bucks.

Do the words bad of a hell ring about.

The streets sweepers sucks it up.

The streets sweepers sucks it up.

Jesse's done with last one.

Let me off.

Get him.

Back up the streets.

He's got to be up to one, 60's flag.

And you are the queen.

I'm coming down toward

the checkered flag.

Who's it going to be?

Is the past pretty sweet person?

Well, it's going to be Jesse J.

He's in the mud for garage.

Winston got serious cars.

Jesse J.

Makes the checkered flag.

Looks like Jesse J. is

wet up the competition.

Got her busters clean the sweepers clock.

Did he expect anything less folks?

But there's no time for dirt bags.

Trash clock for anything that sucks.

Jesse's got metal to burn.

And sparks to fly.

Because the next monster garage

challenge is just around the bend.

Congratulations, guys.

He did it.

He's got some Maxwell kids for you guys.

So, once you're at T.D.,

because you guys rock.

Yeah.
