09x04 - Blue Suede Cruise

[bunniefuu]

-Wow.
-Wow.

-Wow.
-Wow. Look at that.

-Oh. Wow.
-Yeah.

-That's cool.
-Wow.

-Wow.
-Wow.

-Wow.
-Wow.

Wow.

Wow.

Wow.

Oh, that's cool.

-Wow.
-Ooh.

Turn the air
conditioning on out here.

Did the queen fall on the car?

This year is the only one
we know of.

The first one of the day
to take a cone out.

[Kevin] That's legit.

[man] He's winning!
He's winning!

What kind? Like gin?

Yeah, we can do that.

He's bigger than you.
Good luck.

-[laughs]
-Hey, all right.

This is what I do.

I get a cookie!

You guys, you're all hopped up
on Mountain Dew.

[engine revving]

[rock music playing]

[Dave] When I look at
a blank canvas,

I see endless possibilities.

As the ideas come to mind,

the lines start
to fall into place,

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

A bitchin' ride
has intense color.

[man] This is gorgeous.

[man] This is gorgeous.

[Dave] Performance.

[man] It's fantastic.

[Dave] Stance, wheels, sound.

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

Cars are Bitchin' Rides.

[man] Well, it never gets old.

[laughing]

[upbeat music playing]

It's nice out here,
but now it's humid.

It's nice out here,
but now it's humid.

This is by far
my favorite time of the year,

outdoor car show season.

We're taking our show
on the road

to one of my favorite
places, Ohio.

[Kevin] Where are we at?

[Dave] Norwalk, Ohio.

You know, this is the first
time we've been

to this particular car show,
so before we start setting up,

I think, Kevin and I should
just go get a lay of the land.

This is so cool.

There's over 400 acres
of grass racetrack,

and it's getting developed.

It's gonna have
a huge track over here

It's gonna have
a huge track over here

in the next couple of years.

[Kevin] I'm super pumped
to be here.

I didn't know all this stuff
was going on.

They have everything here.

-[Dave] Oh, yeah, baby.
-[Kevin] Drag races,

autocross, car show,

the vendor field,

all the vendors that are
here, this looks amazing.

Aren't we gonna give some kind
of award away at this show?

[Dave] Yeah. So, we're gonna
do a one Bitchin'
Ride pick.

This show actually has
a little bit of everything,

which means that we're gonna
have a great weekend.

[Kevin] And I can't wait to
watch all this stuff goes on.

I think it's so cool
that there's a car show

-at a drag race.
-[Dave] Right?

That was sure a lot
of fun cruising around,

That was sure a lot
of fun cruising around,

but now it's time
to get down to work.

[upbeat music playing]

Get that up here.

To infinity and beyond.

[upbeat music playing]

[Kevin] It is hot
with next level humidity.

I'm not used to this.
I'm from the desert.

I need to keep everyone
moving to get this done.

The most crucial part
of a good setup

The most crucial part
of a good setup

is just making sure
that you think

about what you're doing
and where you're at,

'cause there's always
things that change.

And make sure
that you keep Dave in line,

keep the girls busy,

uh, and then everything
usually goes pretty smoothly.

You need a handkerchief out
on this side of the planet.

Holy crap.

It's like herding kittens.

[Dave] We throw another clip
on each of these, yeah?

[Kevin] This is pretty much
the same process

over and over,
but we have one big change.

Kevin's friends with the guy
that originally did the canopy

don't have a series,
so we set him back down there

don't have a series,
so we set him back down there

and had it freshened up
with a couple of new details.

-New deal.
-That's right.

This new canopy
looks awesome.

This is the first time
we had a chance

to really set it up
and see what it looks like

altogether in all
of the show car glory.

And I'll tell you what,

the skylights
and the logo beautiful.

No, it's gonna be really cool,
you know,

Dave brought up a good point.

It's nice to get
some light on these cars

when they're underneath
this canopy.

[upbeat music playing]

[Dave] Okay. Hold this.
There we go.

[Dave] Okay. Hold this.
There we go.

It's so hot. I just watched
a bird pull a worm

out of the ground
with an oven mitt.

Oh, my God. It's hot.

I'm a dry heat kind of guy.

[Kevin] We're lizards, bro.
We live in the desert.

What's a lizard
that's not in the desert?

Like a salamander?

Is that like a water lizard?

[Dave]
I don't have gills, man.

This is, uh, it's...

The air is thick out here,
you know what I'm saying?

What do we look like?

Kevin Costner from Waterworld
with gills and [bleep]?

[Dave] Uh-huh. We're not.

God, no. My hair is just,
like, soaking wet.

I'm not used to the humidity.

I'm not used to the humidity.

You're not crying,
but your hair is sweating.

My hair is crying.

[chuckles]

Man, that is so much nicer

having the light under here,
don't you think?

[Kevin] Yeah.

We need to add
some weight to this.

And we're about done working
in this sauna.

[Dave] Yeah, I'd say just put
it right here in the front.

-Right there?
-[Dave] Perfect.

Drop 'em.

What time you guys turn the
air conditioning on out here?

A little bit more.
You're all right.

Come on in just a little bit.

There you go. Centered.

There you go. Centered.

-[man] Whoa, whoa, whoa.
-Back her up.

The new setup
looks absolutely awesome.

Everything fit
just into place,

and now it's time for us
to go and take a break,

get on a golf cart
and check out the grounds.

[upbeat music playing]

We're gonna go
check out the grounds

not only
to just check 'em out,

because we like car shows,

but we also have to pick
a one Bitchin' Ride.

but we also have to pick
a one Bitchin' Ride.

Looks like it's, uh, filling
in pretty good.

Well, I'd say.

Everyone's got
their little shade.

-Dave, look at this Z.
-Check this out.

-Oh.
-Mmm-hmm.

-An LS?
-Oh, yeah.

Wow.

[upbeat music playing]

Oh, that's sick.

Full cage look, he's got full
cage all the way up the front.

Full two chest.

This white Datsun 240Z
is super cool.

This white Datsun 240Z
is super cool.

All of the stuff
that he's done under the hood

with the LS especially,

I think this is really,
really well done.

-Oh, it's super sleek too.
-Is this yours?

Dude. This is awesome.

-[man] Thank you.
-[Kevin] Super clean.

[Dave] Wow. This is a...
This is a big build.

You have full cage
through it and LS.

[man] You can open the door,
go ahead.

[Dave] Don't say that.
There's keys in it.

Wow.

[Kevin] Wow, look at that.

[Dave] Alcantara.

[Kevin] Dude, look at
all the details, too.

Like, look at the...
All the...

[Dave] Dimple die.

[Kevin] Dimple die floors

the, like, heat blanket sides.

[Dave] Man, this is rad.

[Kevin] It's, like, super
luxury minimalist.

This Datsun has a lot
of custom features,

but he's done it very well.

It looks incredibly clean.

[Dave] Are you gonna run
this on autocross?

Yeah, yeah, putting this on.
Run it tomorrow.

Once the fun run is over,

I'm gonna go out
and run that track.

-I'm fine.
-[Dave] Far out.

[Kevin] Nice.

This car
encompasses everything,

looks and performance
and from telling...

From looking at it,
I bet this thing

will rip around the track.

[Kevin] Like, I'm gonna keep
an eye out

[Kevin] Like, I'm gonna keep
an eye out

for running an autocross.

That is awesome, dude.

Yeah, we'll be
over there tomorrow.

-We're gonna have fun.
-That's super cool.

-Super cool.
-Yeah, build, man.

Hey, great
talking to you, man.

[Dave] The '64 GTO.

[Kevin]
There's a lot of cars here.

-And it's only Friday.
-[Dave] I know.

[Kevin] Look at that
with the gold trim.

[Dave] All right.
Look at this.

[Kevin] Oh, there it is.

-[man] This is it.
-[Kevin] That's it?

[rock music playing]

[Kevin] Oh, wow.

So what we have here
is an English limousine.

So what we have here
is an English limousine.

And it looks groovy.

Does it have semaphores,
turn signal right here?

-Oh, oh, these are LEDs.
-These are offer lights.

-We put LEDs in it.
-Oh, okay.

So, they do flash
on turn signals.

-Okay. Very cool.
-Wow.

-Yeah.
-[Kevin] Wow.

Uh, this thing's cool.

[Dave] That is just
a unique body style.

[Kevin] Yeah.

It reminds me
a lot of, like, a Buick,

but obviously British.

[man] This was assembled
in Australia,

owned by Rolls-Royce.

From what we have learned,

From what we have learned,

uh, bought out by Chrysler
in the '60s.

[Kevin] I've been
to a ton of car shows,

and it's not every day
you see something

this rare and awesome.

How many of these do
you think are in the US?

Okay, so this year
is the only one we know of.

[Kevin] Is there a lot of wood
in the body construction?

-[man] No, it's all metal.
-[Kevin] It's all metal?

[Dave] You said your
grandfather built the car?

My grandfather built the car.

This is his second
to last one.

I'm the owner
of the last one he built.

I think what's so cool
about this limousine

is the fact that it's
been kept in the same family

and it's such an odd car

and they haven't really gone
too far overboard on it.

and they haven't really gone
too far overboard on it.

I think that's pretty cool.

Oh, that's cool you're still
out showing the cars, uh--

Oh, man, we get out
every time we...

every time we get a chance,
we take 'em out.

-I mean...
-That's cool.

not one of 'em doesn't run.

I mean,
they all run phenomenal.

-[Dave laughs]
-[Kevin] That's cool.

[Dave] That is such cool
body light.

[man] So, we go cross
country with it.

We go to Frankenmuth,
we got top 25 there.

[Dave] Nice.

[man] Um, we do a lot
with these cars.

We don't baby 'em,
we don't trailer 'em.

-We drive 'em on the road.
-There you go.

-That's awesome.
-Well, that's awesome.

Well, keep...
Well, keep driving 'em.

Well, keep...
Well, keep driving 'em.

[Dave] Yeah,
this is super awesome.

[Dave] He's winning!
He's winning! He's winning!

One, two, three, go.

He wasn't even racing.

[Kevin]
Yeah, he was, he blinked.

-[Dave] It's so cool.
-[Kevin] Oh, that is cool.

[upbeat music playing]

[Kevin] Oh, that's cool.

So, look. So, the... Dave,
that's the intake.

-[Dave] It's the intake.
-Yeah.

[Kevin] And then the exhaust
in there matches.

[Kevin] And then the exhaust
in there matches.

-[Dave] So cool.
-[Kevin] That is cool.

I have no idea what
the hell we're looking at

but I'll tell you what, this
car is really, really cool.

[man] Ever see a, uh,
steering wheel like that?

[Kevin] Yeah, I know
it came out of an older car

so you can get out
of the way, right?

So, you can get out?

It's called
the Fat Man steering wheels.

Fat Man?

That's legit.

Ooh.

Yeah, right?

We're building something
that might need that.

Dude, that's legit.

[man] 1917.

There's a super neat
steering wheel feature

that makes fat people
getting in and out of the seat
real easy.

Far out.

[Kevin]
Look at the shifter, bro.

It's even got the hoses
hooked to it.

Does it work? Can it...

This car has a ton
of fun stuff to look at.

I don't know what's going
on with this lighter.

-Wow.
-[Dave] Fuel tanks?

[Kevin] Are these both fuel?

Yeah, they hold two-and-a-half
gallons each the side.

[upbeat music playing]

[Kevin] Oh, that's cool.

[Dave] We're in Ohio
at the Blue Suede Cruise.

-Hi.
-Say.

Hi.

Whoa, whoa, careful, careful.
You're in my area.

What's up?

Dave and I are checking out
this roadster

with a ton of cool features.

-Fuel tanks?
-[Kevin] Wow.

Are these both fuel?

Yeah.

It holds two-and-a-half
gallons each the side.

Watch.
He's gonna light it, the car.

Nice!

Nice!

I was getting cold. Thank you.

[Kevin] I figured it out.

You got to be able
to get the steering wheel
up out of the way

in case you get lit
on fire by the shifter.

It goes... I can go about
a hundred and twenty-five
miles on it.

-On the tanks.
-Really?

All five gallons.

-So, it's a hybrid?
-Yes.

And among all the
details, the headlights,

the dashboard, the gauges,
the rear taillights,

the shifter, it's hot.

No, really.

It's a blowtorch. It's hot.

Well, keep cruising it, buddy.

That's right. That's awesome.

[upbeat music playing]

[upbeat music playing]

[fireworks expl*si*n]

[Dave] Strap him in!

[Kevin] Hell, yeah.

Wanna ride in that.

IBEATYOU. That's what
his license plate says.

[upbeat music playing]

[Dave] Man.

Mornin'.

Not only do these dragsters
fly down the track

Not only do these dragsters
fly down the track

but being able to get up close

and really look
at the engineering

and some of the old-school
engineering, especially.

I think it's really
interesting and super cool.

You guys race these

or just polish 'em
and shine 'em up, man?

This thing's nice. [laughs]

Drag racing
in a bracket type situation,

it's really kind of cool
because there's so many
different brackets

and timeframes
and speed classes and stuff.

Uh, are you still 409
or the...

So, this is a 409...

That's like a class,
is that correct?

-Yeah. You got it.
-They're '63 GM blocks.

Okay.

Yeah, we're on


Yeah, we're on


-[Kevin] Wow. That's cool.
-Far out.

So, what are some of the...
Like, not revealing too much?

We won't tell anybody.

Well, what are some
of the tricks that makes a 409

a great engine for a race car?

-Its unique.
-[Kevin] Okay. Fair.

[man] It 's 74-degree
cylinder head angles.

So, the whole combustion
chamber is in the block.

[Kevin] Okay.

Which is a challenge
because you can't get

a lot of compression
out of 'em...

because you don't have
a dome in the piston.

I mean, you have a dome
but it's all on the outside
of the engine.

[Kevin] Right, right, right.
Okay.

And then, the underside of the
head is completely flat.

And then, the underside of the
head is completely flat.

Valves are flushed
with the surface of the head.

-[Kevin] Oh, really?
-[Dave] Oh, okay. Okay.

[man] Yeah.

-[Dave] Yeah.
-So, it's...

It's a challenge.
So, that makes it fun.

It's not just, you know,

that you have a bunch
of money,

you buy the best of the best
and you're fast.

Like, it's a challenge.
And I think that--

He's perfecting
what you have to run.

There's a class for everyone
when it comes to drag racing.

My father-in-law just sitting
over there in the shadows.

He's the reason
this all happened

because he watched
Strickler and Hayden Croft

and those guys
run these cars in the '60s.

And he started building
this car in the late '80s.

This has been a race car
for 32 years now.

This has been a race car
for 32 years now.

-Exactly.
-[Kevin] Wow. Wow.

Now all of the families
who would get out here

and race together,

they literally
were all into it

from the minute
they turned two

until they turned ninety-two.

And this thing,
wide burst in exhaust.

We could drive on the street.

[Kevin] Well, they're...
And they're beautiful.

-Yeah.
-They're beautiful.

And that... And that's one
thing I was telling

Dave earlier is,
you know, you...

Race cars
aren't always really,

uh, appealing to the eye.

And there's so many beautiful,

like, just drop dead gorgeous
race cars at this track.

-I mean, I was blown away.
-Yeah.

But we've been specifically,
these ones right here,

But we've been specifically,
these ones right here,

the red ones just beautiful
paint and body.

They're straight,
they're fast.

I mean, just caught our eye.

We've always been big fans
of the early Impalas.

-Certainly 409 is iconic.
-Yup.

[Dave] And to see these
things going down the track

as fast as they're going

-looking as nice...
-That's cool.

and we had to stop
and check 'em out, man.

Like I said to guys
all the time.

There's lots songs
that are car songs.

There's only one car song
that's about an engine.

-Yup.
-Uh, well, I got it.

You don't have to say anymore.
I got it.

[Dave]
There are street cars that've
been turned into strictly

race cars
and then there's just stuff

that's just primarily built

for just going
really, really fast.

That's cool.

Morning.

[upbeat music playing]

[Kevin] Wow.

[Dave] Far out.

[Kevin] What class
is this car running?

[man] Seven-oh.

Seven-oh class and that means,

what does that mean?

Seven-oh-and-a-quarter.

-Oh, seven-oh-and-a-quarter?
-[man] It's in their class.

-Oh, seven-oh-and-a-quarter?
-[man] It's in their class.

[Dave] And what are
you running for power?

[man] Four-twenty-seven
Windsor quart.

This is just amazing.

I've just... I've always
been just blown away

with the technology
and just the raw mechanics

of just going as fast
as you can, right?

And what kind of fuel
do you run?

-[man] Huh?
-What kind of fuel?

-Alcohol.
-[Dave] It's alcohol.

-So, this is alcohol. Okay.
-Yeah.

-Right on.
-So, like what Kind? Like gin?

Yeah, we can do that.

Maybe let's bring
both types of alcohol.

[man] We have to sample it
before we put it in.

[man] We have to sample it
before we put it in.

[Dave] Oh, we have to sample
it before we put it in.

[man] Oh, yeah.

Some for the car
and some for us.

Are you still... You're
running this today, yeah?

-[man] Yup.
-[Dave] Awesome.

I'm gonna have to... I'm gonna
have to look for it.

Hey, you're doing ride alongs,
you wanna go with him?

-Yeah, could I... Is there--
-We got some zip ties,

we'll put you right up
on the front.

Is that a thing?

Yeah, if you love to.
That's up to you.

[Dave] I'm in.

[man] You got... You got
the coolest spurs.

[man] That'll take some baked
[indistinct]

to sit out there.
But you go ahead.

[Dave] I got some really good
zip ties back
in the rig, though.

I trust you. I just met
you but I trust you.

We'll make it.

Did you see him swallow?

Did you see him swallow?

Seeing these cars up close
in the pits is really amazing.

But to be honest with you,
I'd like to get up in the
stands

and watch it
go down the track.

Thank you for taking the time
to showing us your car, man.

-Hey. Man, awesome car.
-No problem.

-You guys welcome any time.
-It's super beautiful.

-Best of luck today.
-Yeah, no doubt.

-Thank you.
-Thank you.

[upbeat music playing]

[car engines revving]

Ooh.

Man. Woo!

Wow.

Look at that one.
What is that?

Look at that one.
What is that?

Oh, oh, oh.

[car engines revving]

Get it!

Oh, he got a little lose.

He did get a little lose.

-It's cool though.
-Yeah.

That's awesome.

It certainly wouldn't be
a day at the track with me

without making a bet.

I'll take the green one
just for, uh...

-Yeah, I got the black one.
-just for good measure.

-I got the Anglia.
-All right.

-You got the Slingshot.
-I'll take the roll, yup.

And I rarely lose.

And I rarely lose.

I'm gonna bet you a cookie.

-What?
-A cookie.

Chocolate chip.

Nothing but the best.

Good luck.

[upbeat music playing]

[car engines revving]

Bye.

Woo!

I get a cookie!

[indistinct chatter]

[Dave] Get the cookie.

That wasn't a great start but
we got a lot more cars to go.

I'll be right here.

I'll be right here.

-Don't eat it.
-[Kevin] Lost a bet.

I'm gonna mop the floor
with the money he gives me.

Oh, my bad.

Thank you!

Which one you got now?

Uh, I'm gonna... I'm gonna go
with the blue car.

Whoa!

[upbeat music playing]

[car engines revving]

[Dave] 20 bucks. Woo!

[Kevin] My turn to pick.

I like the right line.

Woo!

I like going around corners
a little bit more

but I really enjoy
drag racing.

-I love watching drag racing.
-I just never had--

Just actually, when you get
into the big stuff,

like, the alterns,
the top fuel stuff,

-protops, pro mods--
-The top fuel dudes.

That fuel will make you...
You'll feel it in your chest.

[makes sound]
All the way down, yeah.

So, I think, the Slingshot,

the guys behind the axle,

like, a front engine
dragster...

like, a front engine
dragster...

-Okay.
-shorter wheel base,

and it has a strut that goes
right up by the...

To the front from the...
from the, uh, roll cage.

I don't know if they have
to be like that.

But I think that's what they
referred to as a Slingshot.

So, it's like an altered
without a body on it.

I think it's the best way
to describe it.

I'll take that.
That's why a...

So, rail.

model of the Slingshot cars...

-Front engine rail--
-are racing the altered.

Now, that I'm an informed
expert, I wanna race.

Hey, you know what?
We should go down to the pits

and check out the drags
from that angle. Let's go.

You know what,
you read my mind.

I bet we can get in,
like, one of these cars.

I bet we can get in,
like, one of these cars.

-I hope so. I hope you live.
-[Kevin] Let's do it.

Oh, turn.

Turn right now.

I am in.

-Go ahead.
-Go get a practice in, get in.

I am, right now.

-All right.
-You in now, son.

[engine revving]

[Kevin] Oh, this thing
is on the pallet.

-Nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you.

They better be careful
with my right-hand man.

They don't make those
like they used to.

Trying to pull a 0.3 light.
It'll be the fourth in a row.

Nice.

[Dave] Kevin just took off
on me.

And I guess, he found a car
to ride down the track in.

And I guess it's better
him than me.

[car engines revving]

[car engines revving]

I'm glad I'm not in that car.

[dramatic music playing]

[car engines revving]

[dramatic music playing]

I bet we could get in,
like, one of these cars.

-I hope so. I hope you live.
-[Kevin] Let's do it.

We're having a great time
at the Blue Suede Cruise.

There's so many things to do.

We've been watching this
long enough.

I need to get in
a car right now.

I'm glad I'm not in that car.

[car engine revving]

Awesome!

Awesome!

[bleep].

We were going fast.

That was fast though.
That was cool.

I can't wait to see how much
he screamed in the seat.

-Oh, that was awesome.
-I had to push the light.

-Oh, that was awesome.
-I had to push the light.

That sure looked like
a lot of fun.

Gone straight,
but I'm a little bit more

about the turns.

See what we ran.

We ran 11.03.

But you'll run a 10.80
with me in.

-Wow.
-You know, so...

Cool, cool. Thank you again,
brother, thank you.

No problem.

[upbeat music playing]

[Kevin] That was a blast.

Everything can't all
be fun and games.

There's a time to be fun and
there's a time to be serious.

There's a time to be fun and
there's a time to be serious.

You know what,
these big builds in cars.

It has to be about the design.

Yeah, but this competition
is gonna be so cutthroat.

We're gonna have to look
at fit and finish.

We're gonna have
to look at stance.

We're gonna have
to look at color.

-Modifications.
-Modifications.

All of the stuff,
stance obviously,

wheels, details
and, of course,

-contrast inside outside.
-Creativity?

Yeah. It's not my first
rodeo picking

or judging a car show,
but to be honest with you,

there's a lot of really
nice cars out here.

This might take a little
more time than I thought.

-It's gonna be huge--
-This is really

one of the stiffest
competitions...

-It's gonna be tough.
-I think I've ever witnessed.

-It's gonna be tough.
-I think I've ever witnessed.

I don't even know if I'm
qualified to judge this,

but I'm doing it anyways.

[upbeat music playing]

[Dave] That's right.
It's coloring time,

and there can only be
one winner.

Oh, yeah. Look at that.

You know what color green is.

-For the money?
-Green is for the money.

-Gold is for the honey.
-That's right.

[Dave] In all seriousness.
Some of these kids

[Dave] In all seriousness.
Some of these kids

have some serious skill.

Jack, where did you learn
how to do that?

Because I've been drawing
for, like, six years.

You started younger
than I did.

I started when I was five.

You started when
you were four?

That's amazing.

It's a truck.

She's obviously drawing

-the correct trunk over here.
-She's... Yeah.

-She's letting it rip on...
-[Kevin] I like that.

-the camp dog truck.
-[Kevin] I like that.

-[Dave] Very cool.
-I almost like it...

-Better?
-better red.

That's the one
we did dark blue,

but I love it in red.

[Kevin]
Oh, look, he's doing a CF1.

-Oh, yeah. In gray.
-Ooh, in gray.

-I like it. It's a tough deal.
-[kid] This is my second one.

-I like it. It's a tough deal.
-[kid] This is my second one.

-It is?
-How many... How many
can you do?

-Hmm, I wanna do--
-[Dave] I bet you could

probably do all of them.

-Is that a seagull?
-[woman laughs]

-[Kevin] Well, let's look.
-Are you trying
to distract me?

-What did you do?
-[kid] No.

Oh, she's almost done now.

Magic.

[Dave] Seeing all these
amazing drawings

from these little
kids is actually

blowing my socks off.

I'm really getting
kind of the itch

to sit down and color myself.

Let's see. What do we got?
I need a coloring book.

[Kevin] Okay. Dave, now, look,

do not eat the crayons.

[upbeat music playing]

[upbeat music playing]

To be the best judge of all
of these renderings

as possible, I feel like
I really need to sit down,

concentrate,
and walk in their shoes.

[Kevin]
Well, I'm hiring him, so.

-What's that?
-I can do one 1v1 [indistinct]

I think mine's might
be better.

You know,
you actually might be right.

You know, I've been coloring
cars since I was five.

And these colors... These kids
have been coloring these books

for, like, an hour.

That's not the right color.

It's supposed to be black.

I can't be myself if I'm being
criticized by these kids.

I can't be myself if I'm being
criticized by these kids.

Hey, what about mine?

[kid] No. No, no, no.

[kid] Yes, yes.

Hey, how much sugar...
How much...

how much sugar
have you kids had today?

-[kid] One gram.
-One gram.

One gram.

These guys, you're all hopped
up on Mountain Dew.

Okay. I'm done.

[Kevin] You know what?
I don't really know

if I can judge
this competition.

It's all gonna be on you.

If you don't let me
choose the winner

I might... I can beat you.

I might... I can beat you.

See what I'm saying?

I will.

Now that we've been judged,

it's time for us
to do the judging.

We got to... We're gonna
broshambo for this one.

-[Dave] Yup.
-Look at that.

Oh, it's pretty awesome.

Ooh.

[Kevin] Look at the shading.

And there's not even
a name on this one.

It's on the front.
They're like me.

Well, can't follow
instructions, okay?

[laughs]

I don't care
if you're five or fifty.

Rules are rules.

Party time.

[Dave] Oh.

Background,
attention to detail.

Background,
attention to detail.

Okay. This lady is 35.

She'd been drinking all day.

Hell, yeah.
You know what they say?

Look how big my head is.

It's huge.

It's to scale to the truck.

-Get out of here.
-[laughs]

These are all really great.
But the 18 plus

these ones might have a couple
that are too close to call.

But what makes this one
better than that one?

Nothing, really.

Sometimes hard choices
require creativity.

-Broshambo,
that's the only way, bro.
-Okay.

Hearts are going to break

Hearts are going to break

because of this truly
scientific method.

-One, two, three.
-One, two, three.

I run a paper.

Yeah, buddy.

[epic music playing]

[whistling]

-Well, hi, everybody.
-[applause]

We're at the Blue Suede Cruise
in Norwalk, Ohio,

judging a coloring contest.

We've picked all the winners.

And now Kevin and I are ready
to announce them.

For everybody
that participated.
Thank you very much.

We had some very difficult
decisions to make.

There were some tough ones,

some really, really creative,

some really, really good ones.

some really, really good ones.

Absolutely.

So, for everybody
that did that,

thank you so much
for doing it.

So give yourself an applause

for sticking around

to find out who won
the first annual

Kindig-It Design Coloring
Book Challenge.

Let's give away some prizes.

So zero to five,
we'll do that first.

Skyler Magnum, Magrum? Right?

-This one, who drew this one?
-This guy right here?

[Kevin]
Whoa. High five, buddy.

I love it.

Hudson... Buren.

Hudson... Buren.

-Oh, right there.
-Yeah, Buren.

-You put it over here.
-Buren.

-[laughs]
-Congratulations, man.

-[Kevin] Congratulations,
buddy.
-[Dave] Very well done.

-That's for you.
-[Dave] Jackson Bruce.

[Kevin] You're hired.

[applause]

[Dave] Well done, sir.

Sydney Walter.

-Ooh.
-All right.

[cheers and applause]

[Kevin] Good job.

-Okay.
-Eighteen and plus.

-So--
-And this was super hard.

I mean, there was some...
there are some
really good ones,

there were some
really bad ones, too.

Oh, boy.
We're gonna get in trouble.

Johnny Cameron.

Hey, Johnny.

Hey, Johnny.

He's bigger than you.
Good luck.

-I'm sorry.
-[laughs]

He is bigger than me,
but he's getting a prize.

So I think everything's
gonna be fine.

-[laughs]
-See?

-Congratulations, buddy.
-Congratulations, buddy.

-Well done.
-There you go.

I was really excited

for this particular thing
to happen here,

and it looks like everybody
had a great time,

and I was so excited
to be a part of it.

Hey, congratulations,
you guys.

[upbeat music playing]

[Kevin] Look at that.

[Kevin] Look at that.

That coloring contest
was intense.

I had a great time,

but we still have
one more thing to do.

We got to pick
a Bitchin' Ride.

Oh, yes. See it?
Way down there.

[Kevin] Oh, that thing's dope.

-This is a Skylark.
-Buick Skylark?

[upbeat music playing]

[Kevin]
It looks kind of like a Comet.

It's obviously a GM product,

but I don't think
they ever did a GM car

based on the same platform
that I know of

because this is much smaller,

because this is much smaller,

but it's such a sporty.

The backend is real stumpy.

This Buick Skylark
really caught my eye.

Dave's been talking about
building one for years,

and this one is nice.

[Dave] One love.

Spidey... It's a girl's car.

-Yeah.
-Spidey Girl.

Spidey Girl. That's cool.

This is a really cool car.

This isn't something
you see very often.

And, of course,
this one's not way over done.

But I just like the body style

and the body lines
on this thing.

How is it cool...
It's a cool car.

-Way cool.
-I like it.

Here's the Spidey woman
herself.

Here's the Spidey woman
herself.

That's cool. No, I just...
I love that body style.

It's just cool. I've never...

So, I've designed one
for another shop,

but I've never built one.

And it's just a cool body
style. I just like it.

If I win the Mega Millions
tonight,

-it'll be at your shop.
-I'm rooting for you.

-Okay.
-That's what I'm
talking about.

Then I'll get the opportunity
to build one.

-Yes, you will.
-Nice.

-[Kevin] Right on, baby.
-Take care.

[woman] You too.

[Kevin] Dude, look at inside,
it's got a phone, dude.

Now, this old classic truck

looks like an instant
contender.

looks like an instant
contender.

Yeah. Look at this,

'62 headlight bezels.

-[Kevin] Dude. It's like...
-[Dave] Flipped upside down.

It's like grafted in,
like, you...

-Yeah.
-still have this line
right here.

Right. Pancake the hood.

The whole thing is sectioned

and chopped and channeled.

[Dave] This truck has been
chopped, sectioned,

channeled,
moved all over the place.

And I think it's really cool
because it's very fitting

for a '50s custom.

-Is this yours?
-[Dave] Wow.

-[man] Yeah.
-Oh, this is... You...

It looks like you've checked
all the boxes in custom.

It looks like you've checked
all the boxes in custom.

-[Dave] Is this yours?
-It looks like everything
is done.

Dude, Chrysler had the coolest
dashes back then.

-[man] I know. Yeah.
-[Kevin] They really did.

Corvette wasn't grafted
into here.

-You probably made some
steel ones. Yeah?
-[Dave] So cool.

[man] Yeah, well, they're
fiberglass, so--

-[Kevin] Right?
-They're not steel.

-Yeah.
-And then what's that?

And what's going on
with the bed?

-I built that.
-From scratch?

-Yeah.
-[Kevin] Wow.

[woman]
Yeah, it's all hand-built.

[Kevin] Oh, it's beautiful.

I did everything myself,
except the upholstery.

-That's awesome.
-[Dave] That is so cool.

How long has it been done?

[man] Uh, four years. Yeah.

[man] Uh, four years. Yeah.

[Kevin] What was the hardest
part about the build?

The sectioning.

-Really?
-Yeah.

Like that hood was a b*stard.

-I like that.
-[laughs]

Well, you got to remember
this. If it was easy,

everybody would have
already done it,

and then it wouldn't be cool.

Yeah, this thing is cool.

There's a ton of work

that went into this truck.

Everywhere I look,

something's been moved.

Something's been changed.

I think I see it all.

I look a little bit closer.

Something else
has been changed.

And come to find out this guy
did all of the mods himself.

And come to find out this guy
did all of the mods himself.

This truck's amazing.
Well, right on.

-It was a pleasure
to meet you, buddy.
-[Dave] Super cool.

-Well done, guys. Yeah.
-So nice to meet you.

-Wonderful. Wonderful car.
-It's an awesome truck.

Thank you. And keep cruising.

[soft beat music playing]

Wow. Whose car is that?

This is definitely something
you don't see every day.

Dude, they're all up...
And so where's the...

How... Did the queen
fall on the car?

Man, somebody's gonna
bee pissed.

I've seen a lot
of different cars.

I've been to so many
different shows,

I have never in my life
ever seen

an actual Buick Super Bee.

Dude, you're gonna sell
honey after this?

[laughs]

I came over to look
at this beautiful GTX

I came over to look
at this beautiful GTX

and it seems to be
overshadowed by the honeybees

that have taken over
this beautiful car.

I've never seen this many bees

in my entire life
in one place.

Dave, if this was a Camaro,
I would think...

I would think it's a
Transformer, Bumblebee.

Stay too long,
you'll catch a buzz.

Anybody got any peanut butter?

We got... We got honey.

[woman]
How the hell did that happen?

I don't know. Ask the queen.

If you can speak bee
language, go right ahead.

The queen decided to take
a break in his car.

The queen decided to take
a break in his car.

I think we should probably
capture these.

I could have free
honey forever.

I got a couple of them
looking at me.

I'm gonna step back.

[upbeat music playing]

We're having a great time
looking at all

the best cars here
in Norwalk, Ohio.

Nice.

[Dave] I was getting cold.
Thank you.

Look how many Camaros
there is compared...

And Chevrolets compared
to Mustangs. Period.

-There's no Mustangs here.
-I've seen one.

-Finally they got
something right.
-I mean, it's a bad,

bad race car, right?

It's kind of like T-Birds.

They're kind of rare to see.

-[Kevin] Wait, wait,
wait, wait.
-What is that?

-[Kevin] Wait, wait,
wait, wait.
-What is that?

-That's dead sexy, bro.
-Gotta check that out.

Now, this one
is a showstopper.

Look at that.

[upbeat music playing]

[Kevin] Oh, so beautiful.

I love these cars so much.
Remember, we almost...

We had... We had a small
opportunity to build these,

-and it just didn't work.
-Yeah.

It just never panned out.

It just never panned out.

So cool.

I love this Cadillac
Sedanette.

I just think the shape
is amazing.

This is definitely a car

This is definitely a car

that's on my bucket list
to build.

Hopefully one day
we get our hands on one.

Yeah, that's beautiful.

-It also doubles as an office.
-Yeah. Look--

-Doing business.
-And there's an office
in the back.

[Dave] This Cadillac
is exactly my speed

for something I would
just love to have

to cruise around
the boulevards.

[Kevin] It's on air ride, too.

[Dave] What engine is this?

[man] It's a 454.

[Kevin] A 454?

[Dave] This has got
a big block Chevy in it

and it's done just beautiful.

The colors, the stance,
this is my kind of car.

And we love this body style,
it's just cool.

And we love this body style,
it's just cool.

-That's great.
-Yeah, this thing is awesome.

-[Kevin] It's beautiful.
-Absolutely gorgeous.

-[Kevin] Beautiful.
-Great.

Hope to see it out
cruising later on.

-[Kevin] Take it easy, man.
-[man] Oh, yeah. Thanks.

[Dave] Thanks, buddy.
Right back at you.

[Kevin] There's a lot
of nice cars, dude.

[Dave] There's some really
cool stuff out here.

[Kevin] Oh, look at that.
Well, that's blue, dude.

-Oh, man.
-That's blue.

[upbeat music playing]

Yeah. You know what?

And it almost
looks like bruised.

Beautiful.

I love the color
and interior, too.

With the... With this dark
blue, it's like it's black.

With the... With this dark
blue, it's like it's black.

Oh, I know. And it's got
that original Nailhead,

but it's been customized
and got cleaned up.

Oh, look at the grooves,
all the machine stuff

-on its accessory--
-[Kevin] And that matches
this, dude.

-[Dave] Oh, it's so cool.
-[Kevin] Oh, and all
the tin work,

-like, all this is custom.
-[Dave] Beautiful.

I've always been
a huge fan of Buicks.

-[Kevin] I know you have.
-I love Rivs.

-Straight as an arrow.
-What's your favorite year?

-'62?
-Well, I like the clamshell

headlights,
but honestly, I would...

I like the taillights
better on this year

that has the exposed lights.

So this is a '63. Yeah, '63.

-Oh, this thing is so clean.
-Look at the engine

-turn on the interior, too.
-Look at the...
And look at the interior.

-turn on the interior, too.
-Look at the...
And look at the interior.

-It's... It's like,
it's super clean.
-[Dave] It's clean.

It's kinda stocky,
but it's modern at...

-Yup.
-the same time, you know?

-Good choice on wheels
and tires.
-Got the red lines.

-Wow.
-[Dave] Good stance.

Is this yours?

Yeah. That is cool.
How long has it been done?

We got done two weeks
before Christmas.

Oh, so it's a...
it's a freshy.

-Yeah.
-Oh, very cool.

[Kevin] Body and paint
is k*ller on this thing.

Interior looks wonderful.

Great color combo.
What color is it?

[man] It's tanzanite blue,

-BMW tanzanite blue.
-BMW, yeah. Okay.

-BMW tanzanite blue.
-BMW, yeah. Okay.

-Wow.
-Coilovers all the way around.

[Dave] So you're adjusted.
It's a static drop.

-[Kevin] Nice.
-So the stance on this car

is really what caught my eye.

-I mean, the colors too, but--
-[woman] Oh, I know.

-It's beautiful.
-Yeah.

-[woman] It sits real pretty.
-It's beautiful.

It's very beautiful.

I've always been the biggest
fan of the '62,

'63 Rivs switch pitch
transmission,

posi-track in a big block.

Hell yeah.

-'56 [indistinct]
-[Kevin] Can't do it.

Every time I look at a '56,
I feel like I'm cheating.

Like that one right there.

[Dave] Right.

Maybe that's what we should do
on the way.

Maybe that's what we should do
on the way.

-We turn around.
-[Kevin] Ooh!

[Dave] Look at that.



I spy a blast from the past
and I love this car.

Is this what... Is it?
This is... This was probably

really close to what Charity's
car looked like

when you...
when you guys met, huh?

It had like a burgundy
interior.

Her dad had put a Cadillac
power seat in front.

-Just in the one side?
-And it was like a velour.

-Yeah.
-And the one--

And then he matched the back

because he took an
upholstery class.

Okay.

Okay.

He finished the headliner
in that car

but never finished
the headliner

in anything else he had,
right? [laughs]

But it had these wheels
without the beauty rings.

-Okay. Was it a 3--
-It had thin white walls.

-Was that a 396?
-No, 289... 283.

-Okay.
-Yeah. With an automatic,

I think it had
a Powerglide on it.

Oh, the two-speed Powerglide?

Yeah, just two-speed
Powerglide.

But really nice condition,

they had wet sanded it
but never polished the car,

so it looked satin
but it was satin...

It was sanded,
it was all lacquer.

He just never buffed it.

He just never buffed it.

This is a nice car though.
Beautiful.

This is a great car
to wrap that up.

We've seen an awful lot
of great cars out here,

but I think we've already
got our winner.

[epic music playing]

It's my pleasure to hand

the microphone over
to, uh, Dave Kindig

for a special presentation.

Thanks so much, Bill, Bobby,

all of you guys
here at the track.

You guys have done
an awesome job

putting on a wonderful show,
probably one of our very,

very favorites
we've ever been to.

very favorites
we've ever been to.

So today we have the honor
of giving away a trophy.

The criteria simply is this,
it's a car that we love.

It's one that we would
consider a Bitchin' Ride,

something that's driven,
beautifully put together,

well-designed, great stance,
great colors.

And I think we were unanimous
when we picked it.

-Oh, yeah.
-It's the 1963 Buick Riviera,

dark blue with a burgundy
interior,

red lined Billet Specialties
wheels

and a beautiful Nailhead.

-Whoa!
-There they are right there.

-Whoa!
-There they are right there.

Congratulations. That is
definitely one bitchin' ride.

That car was originally
supposed to be built

for Cadillac, didn't have
room in the factories,

so it went to Buick.

So kind of a unique
piece in itself.

The car's styling, though.
I love the wedged

rear of the body of the car.

I love the clamshell style,
the headlights on it,

the grille shape,

the body lines,
the low cut roof.

I mean, this has got
all the right moves

in all the right places.

Congratulations, you guys.

Congratulations.
It's a beautiful car.

-Thanks.
-Actually, it's beautiful.

-Thanks.
-Actually, it's beautiful.

[woman] [indistinct]
the winners.

-It's beautiful.
-[indistinct] are the winners.

-Yes.
-[Dave] Who would have
thought it.

-Thank you, guys.
-[Dave] Congratulations.

Thank you so much.
You guys are fabulous.

-Thank you.
-Love your show.

-Beautiful car.
-Enjoy driving that car,
you guys.

I think it's just a really,
really well

thought through design
and a beautiful car.

I'm jealous.
I want one just like it, so.

The show's over, but we still
have some fun to take care of.

What are you doing?

-[laughs]
-[Kevin] Look at this.

What are you doing?

-[laughs]
-Look at this.

We waited all weekend

for a little bit of peace
and quiet.

Now it's time
for a little gentlemen's bet.

-[bleep]
-Get in the car.

Oh, really?
You're gonna make me go first?

-I won. I choose.
-Okay. No, it's cool.

[Kevin laughs]

-Hey, I'm all right with that.
-[Kevin] Exactly.

Let me show you how it's done.

[epic music playing]

[Kevin] Yes, I won.

And I picked Dave
to go first.

Hopefully I made
the right move.

I've never been to school.

I don't sit around
in autocross.

But this thing is gonna
be fun either way.

I'm ready to rip.

[car revving]

We go out there
and have some fun.

-[engine revving]
-[tire screeching]

[intense upbeat music playing]

[intense upbeat music playing]

[revving]

[tires screeching]

[laughs]

[Kevin] That was a good run.
He did hit a cone.

We'll make sure the score
represents that.

And he almost rolled the car.

-[revving]
-[tires screeching]

Oh, honestly,
my first run, I hit a cone.

No big deal, but I was getting
the lay of the land.

The second, I clearly
was rocking the house.

I think you hit two cones
on your second run.

No, I didn't.

[laughs]

[laughs]

I wanna present you
with the first place trophy,

the first one of the day
to take a cone out.

I might not go as fast as him.

-I'm awake.
-[Kevin laughs]

But I'm not gonna take
any cones out.

I'm gonna look way
cooler doing it.

[intense music playing]

-[revving]
-[tires screeching]

[intense music continues]

Whoa!

[Kevin] Who won autocross?

[Dave] I think I actually
had the fastest time.

-You had--
-While we're filming.

-Yes. That's correct.
-And then you kicked my a*s

-after we were done.
-That's correct.

But that doesn't matter
because that doesn't count.

-That's not in the real world.
-What do you mean?

The real world is what
we actually are showing.

This is not the real world.
This is television.

All right, bro.
Here's the thing.

How did... How did we do?

So I have the official
results here

and we have a disclaimer,
because the fastest guy

did hit a couple of cones,
but since you guys are Joes

did hit a couple of cones,
but since you guys are Joes

and not pros at this,
Dave was the winner.

Dave was a 36.132

and Kevin, sadly,
was a 38.075.

-Two seconds.
-That's only two seconds.

-That's not...
That's not terrible.
-That's a lot.

That's not...

Well, it's a mile in racing.

Actually,
it's embarrassing, but for...

Hold on a minute.

You did really well,
I think you did--

-I think you hit the cones.
-You should stick to...

You should stick to building
interiors on big rigs.

But no, you hit the cones.

-Hey, thank you.
-So that means

-you're in the passenger seat.
-Oh, yeah, I'm passenger.

-[upbeat music playing]
-[tires screeching]

[Kevin] Here it goes.

[Kevin] Here it goes.

That's another one down.

This car event encompassed
