06x06 - A Green New Deal

[bunniefuu]

["The Dark Horse Always"
by Blues Saraceno playing]

♪ Deliver me from evil
Deliver me from sin… ♪

[Shawn] Dave, it's overwhelming, I know.

It's a beautiful car.

We put all this
extra high-performance stuff on

so you can drive the wheels off it.

What do you think?

[Dave] I had a vision in my head,

and, I mean, it's--
It's just not what I had in my head.

You know,
it's just not what I had in mind.

Dave, we're talking about
a beautiful car that we over-delivered on.

This is a true SS.

[Dave] Well, I don't know.

This tricked-out 1970 Camaro SS
is the first car

in my upgrade and trade plan.

This was supposed to be
a smooth trade for Dave's Humvee,

which gets us to a 1963 Jaguar XKE,
not to mention a really big payday.

We gave Dave everything he asked for
and then some.

We gave him a big-block for this thing,

and now he's saying
this is not exactly what he wants?

Dave's got a reputation
as a really tough negotiator.

I think he's just saying
that he doesn't like the car

to get the better end of the deal.

At least, I hope so.

[Dave] I'm just not sure

that the deal we talked about
is going to be the same deal for this car.

Wait a minute. We talked
the Humvee with the extra motor

and all those extra parts
that you have for this.

Well, more what I'm seeing is
either the motor and the Humvee

or the Humvee and the parts.

Not all of it.

These Humvee parts
are worth more than you think they are.

We're talking about
extra body, extra hood,

a 6.5-liter diesel motor,
doors worth $8,000.

I've got enough parts
to make two complete Humvees.

Too many parts
for what we're talking about here.

I don't really see how a used Humvee
and a ton of parts is gonna be worth

what we have into this Camaro
and what we've all done to it,

but I'm willing to take a look
and see what he's got.

Let's go take a look at the parts.

[Shawn] Lead the way.

-[Dave] There she is.
-[Mark] Well, that's a Humvee.

[Dave] It's got run flats on it,
and they're like 500 bucks a piece.

We've got the 6-5 power plan here

with the transmission
and the transfer case.

Put them together,
and it's ready to stab and be a runner.

-[Mark] It's got a turbo on it.
-[Dave] It's got a turbo.

[Shawn] What do we got back here? Whoa.

-[Dave] Those are the 8,000-dollar doors.
-[Shawn] Wow.

It's got all brand-new windows,
all brand-new moldings.

Even got mirrors for those.

Wow. Okay.

I got more parts right back here.

Here they are.

Almost enough
for a complete second Humvee.

We got the body. We got the hood.
We got some frame rails.

Suspension parts here. Differentials.

-[Shawn] Hmm.
-[Dave] That's a lot of parts.

Do you mind giving me and Shawn a minute
to talk about it?

Absolutely.

-You guys go ahead and talk it over.
-[Mark] Thanks.

This is ridiculous. I mean,
I'm a dumpster diver for a profession.

This is what's left over
after I'm done dumpster diving.

Listen to me on this, okay?
The main focus is that Jaguar.

Give me a little wiggle room.

As I suspected, even with the Humvee,

all the new parts
and all the scrap parts that come with it,

this is barely an even trade.

If this guy's not willing
to give us everything,

then this deal's just not happening.

-Let's talk to him.
-I'll let you do the talking.

Dave!

[tense music playing]

So, Dave, there's a lot of value
in that Camaro.

Way more than
you were even thinking about getting.

You got to throw in everything.

That's the parts, the motor,
and the Humvee for the done Camaro.

That's the only way
we're gonna do a deal here.

[music continues]

I can't do it.

It's gonna be a couple of the things
but not all of it.

Well, I came out here
to go home with everything

and drop off a badass Camaro,
and I'm not dropping that Camaro

for half of everything, so I guess
we just don't have a deal today.

Thank you for your time.

I'm gonna go back to the shop
and try to sell a Camaro.

Wait. Wait. Wait.

[exhales sharply]

You know, this is my poker face.
I love the car.

So we got a deal?

-Yeah, we have a deal.
-[Shawn] All right.

Well, let's get that Camaro unloaded,

and get the Humvee loaded
and get back to the shop,

and we'll send somebody else up
after the rest of this stuff.

-Sounds good.
-[Shawn] Whew! Okay.

You know, I thought Dave was either
absolutely ridiculous or playing us.

We got ourselves a Humvee.

Then once you did the old walk away,
guess he showed his cards then, huh?

Yeah. You want to see it again?

Uh…

Yeah.

We're still talking here.

["Hex on me" by Ziggy Sullivin playing]

♪ Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh ♪

♪ Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, hey! ♪

Man, that was a little nerve-wracking,
wasn't it?

That was probably the squirreliest person
you've ever had me deal with.

This is what you gotta put up with
with these deals,

and some of these complex deals
are the big moneymakers,

so that's what we gotta go for sometimes,
you know?

So, now that we got the Humvee,

what is this guy
that we're going to trade for the Jaguar?

His name is Sean,
and why don't we just get him on the phone

and see if we can
dial this deal in just right?

[line ringing]

[on phone] This is Sean.

Hey, Sean. It's Shawn. How's it going?

[Sean] Good. How are you, bud?

[Shawn] Hey, pretty good. Pretty good.

Hey, I'm with Mark here.

We're wanting to get in your head

about what exactly you want
in a finished Humvee from us.

[Sean] I need something that's a 4x4.

I can take it off-road,

something to keep the dirt
and the mud off.

I'm really looking to be
more environmentally conscious,

so if we could do, like, an eco-friendly.

-I do have a bit of a collection…
-[Shawn] Well-- [chuckles]

…of electric stuff now.

Okay.

[Sean] I would love

all of the Gotham Garage touches
you guys are notorious for.

I'm really looking for
a one-of-a-kind piece.

So basically, you're looking for
an eco-friendly Humvee,

oxymoron-type vehicle

that you can go out into the worst weather
and then come home with clean clothes?

-[Shawn] Yeah.
-You got it.

[Mark] Now that I know what you want,
we're going to get

rocking and rolling on this thing,
get this thing done.

[Sean] Full disclosure, you guys.

I got a lot of good cash offers
on that Jag,

so I really don't want to wait around
too long on a trade.

Well, Sean,
we're building this just for you,

so you got to hang on there
and not sell the Jag on us.

[Sean] All right, then.
I can't wait to see what you guys create.

-[Mark] Great.
-Okay, Sean,

I'll be in touch with you
in the next little bit.

-[Sean] Sounds great, Shawn.
-[Shawn] Take care, buddy.

The people you pick
are the most nonsensical human beings,

and I totally get
how you fit in with all of them.

[Shawn] The reason I pick these people

is because I'm used
to working with oddballs like yourself.

We got this.

Hang in there with me.

Once we get that Jaguar,
then we're talking.

-[horn honking]
-[Tony] The train's here.

-[Jake] The green train.
-[Constance] Wow.

-[Tony] Look at that, Caveman.
-[Caveman] Look at that Humvee!

-[engine hisses]
-Wow.

-[Jake] An actual Humvee.
-[Constance laughs]

Yeah, baby! Humvee for me.

I know this is precisely
what the doctor prescribed for Caveman.

This is the build he's been wanting to do.

-Caveman's dream here.
-Where's the keys? Does it run?

-As soon as that gets in.
-[Shawn] Toss this motor in.

-Constance, put the motor in!
-This is a monster.

[Caveman] This is awesome.

Shawn said he was gonna get a Humvee,
and he brought in a Humvee.

All right. I take back
everything I ever said about him.

So, Caveman, does this measure up
to what you wanted?

-Oh, yeah.
-Oh, yeah.

You can roll over this thing.
You can smash anything.

What is there not to like about a Humvee?

More specifically, what are you thinking?

-It's missing a few parts.
-[Mark] Like what?

Well, I don't see
a .50-cal g*n turret on it.

-Okay.
-I don't see a flamethrower.

-[Jake] Can't have that.
-[Mark] You're not gonna either.

-We left all that stuff in the field.
-The soft top's gotta go.

Why would they even make a soft top?
It needs a hard top.

I like that idea. That's a good idea.
I like the hard top.

[Shawn] Caveman's in his element here.
Keep going.

-[Mark] What else you thinking?
-I think it needs more lights.

-[Shawn] Yeah.
-[Caveman] A really big bumper.

And a .50-cal g*n…

[Mark] It only happened once.
It's not gonna happen again.

And a flamethrower.

-[Mark] It's never going to happen again.
-[chuckling]

So, here's the other rabbit
we gotta pull out of our hat, Tony,

is that he wants it eco-friendly.

An eco-friendly Humvee?

-[Constance] What?
-[Shawn] How about that?

-[Tony] That doesn't go together.
-[Shawn] It doesn't.

Electric doesn't make sense.
This thing is way too heavy.

-[Mark] Yeah.
-[Shawn] It'd be way too pricey.

-[Jake] Yeah.
-[Tony] It's expensive.

It's got a diesel engine in it,
so maybe a biodiesel makes sense.

-You mean like french fry oil?
-[Tony] Exactly.

I've never done that before.

I don't know much about it,
but I mean, it can't be that hard.

-That sounds like in our budget too.
-[Mark] It sounds like you got a project.

Let me do a little research,
and I'll figure it out.

[Mark] All right.

[Shawn] The most important thing
here is time

because the Jaguar deal hinges on
us getting this done quick.

I don't wanna miss out on that car.

Let's get this thing
off the trailer and inside.

-Let's do it.
-Tony, you want to grab the forklift?

The military Humvee was the precursor
to the civilian Hummer.

It's kind of like a Jeep on steroids.

With the independent suspension
and the all-wheel drive,

it's basically a tank
with four rubber tires,

and these things are notorious
for their horrible fuel mileage.

Right fork coming in.

[Mark] So converting this beast
to biodiesel should help with that issue.

These things can be really valuable,
because it's a unicorn.

There's not that many of 'em
that are made street legal.

Faster! I need more power!

[Mark] So I think
when we're done with this Humvee,

it's going to be worth
upwards of 130 grand.

[Shawn] Jeez! How heavy is this thing?

All right,
that's good enough for government work.

[Tony] So what are we doing
with this beast?

[Mark] I was able to talk to the client,
also named Sean,

and this is what he wants.

[rock music playing]

Based on our conversation,

here's how we can turn
this old army surplus has-been

into an all-terrain crushing,
off-road beast.

While I'd love to go with

a .50 caliber turret
and a flamethrower on this thing,

that's not gonna happen

But I do think Caveman is onto something
with making a custom hardtop roof.

We're gonna add the four brand-new doors
and a back window panel

to keep out
whatever Mother Nature has to throw at it.

With front and rear crash bars,
modern high-intensity LED lights,

and 24-inch custom wheels

with high-profile


there's no place this Humvee can't go.

We'll convert this monster diesel engine
into a super green eco-friendly machine.

And finally,
to add a little beauty to the beast,

we'll upgrade the interior
with plush, leather racing seats,

new carpet, and a custom dash.

When we're done with this bad boy,

we will have given a new meaning
to the term eco-warrior.

First things first is,
Constance and Caveman,

I want you guys
to get that motor masked off,

paint it black,
and paint the transmission silver.

Jake, grab the doors and the mirrors
and bolt all that on.

-Okay.
-[Mark] In the meantime, Tony,

research and order all the parts it takes
to convert that motor to biodiesel.

-I guess I got some stuff to figure out.
-You got some stuff to figure out.

I have to run over to the other garage
for a minute

and take care of something.

-[Jake] All right.
-[Tony] Sounds good.

[Constance] Come on, Caveman.

♪ Oh, oh, oh, oh ♪

♪ Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh ♪

♪ You got that dynamite ♪

[Tony] Jake, you doing all right?

-[Jake] Yeah.
-[Constance] How is it all by yourself?

-They only weigh 500 pounds.
-[Constance laughs]

[soft rock music playing]

I've never done
a biodiesel conversion before,

so I'm really excited about this one.

With biodiesel,
you use an existing diesel engine,

but instead of using regular oils and gas,
you make it so that the car can be powered

with alternative fuels
and different kinds of cooking oils.

You get a little bit better gas mileage
out of it, but mainly people like it

because you get fuel
from renewable sources,

which are more eco-friendly.

♪ Take it to the limit… ♪

[Mark] This Kenworth truck is a build
we started a few years ago,

but we just never got around
to finishing it.

It's not lost on me

what Shawn's trying to accomplish
with this complicated upgrade and trade.

Whether or not he pulls it off,
he's trying to bring some joy to the shop

and feed each and every one
of the team's creative passions,

and that was just the kind of spark
I needed to get back to this build

and start to formulate a plan
for the future of Gotham Garage.

When this truck came in,
it was in pretty rough condition.

There was so much bodywork
that needed to be done.

The frame needed to be ground down.

The suspension had to be gone through.
We had to flush the fuel system out.

Then we had to fabricate the rear fenders,
the front nose piece.

Oh, yep, it's out.

There was a lot of metal
and aluminum fabrication on this vehicle,

and it all started
with tearing it all apart,

refurbishing it, putting it back together,

and then we got into
all the customization.

[exhales] Perfect.

Now all we gotta do
is get this thing painted,

put all the finishing touches on it,
and get this thing polished up and ready.

♪ Oh-oh, oh-oh… ♪

[Mark] My dad used to drive
a Kenworth like this,

and so many of my childhood memories
revolve around big rigs like this.

There is something about
old cars and trucks

that can bring you back
to a time in your life

when things were just better.

It's the feeling of nostalgia

when people see cars
that remind them of their past,

so that just might be the spice of life

that gives me the ultimate idea
for the future of Gotham Garage.

[Tony] Coming up.

[Caveman] Okay, good.

[Tony] We're putting
the diesel engine in first

to make sure it's going to fit.

Coming down.

We also want to know
that it's gonna run correctly

and power the Humvee.

Go up a pump.

-Yeah, there you go.
-[Caveman] Right there?

[Jake] We're over the crossmember now.

-There you go.
-All right, we got slack.

-[Caveman] That wasn't too bad, huh?
-[Tony] Man, you guys made that look easy.

And if it runs,
we don't have to remove the engine again.

We can do the biodiesel conversion
with it right in the Humvee.

-[Jake] All right, we're all clear?
-[Caveman] Fire it up, Tony. Let's go.

[Tony] All right, here we go.

[engine starts]

[Jake] Yeah!

Huh?

Hey. [chuckles]

Sweet!

-[Jake] Good job.
-[Constance] Nice.

[Tony] It's nice to hear it run, man.

-[tools whirring]
-[Mark] How are we doing on this, Tony?

[Tony] The engine fires up.
It's been working great.

-[Mark] So, that's one major thing down.
-Yeah.

Now we'll move on to the biodiesel.
What did you find out about that?

[Tony] Because this is a diesel engine,

we can run any oil,
grease, fluid that will burn.

Can we use the oil from a deep fryer?

You can use oil out of a deep fryer,
but it's got to be filtered.

-Really? The same system will take all?
-No. So here's the deal.

We have to build a second fuel system,

and then right before the engine,
you have a little valve

that goes this fuel system
or that fuel system.

Converting to a biodiesel system
is less about the engine

and more about delivering the fuel to it.

This Humvee already has a diesel fuel tank
with lines running to the engine.

So that we can use any grease or oil
that we want to put in,

we're gonna need a second tank

to hold the biofuel
and the second set of fuel lines.

Instead of going straight to the engine,

both sets of lines will go
to a crossover valve

where you can switch back and forth
between diesel and biofuel.

Whatever you switch to
will then flow from the valve

through another fuel line to the engine.

One of the catches to make this all work
for a long time, not just one time,

is every time you drive on biodiesel,

when you're done
before you park and walk away,

you have to flip back to your diesel fuel
and you've got to flush the system out.

You don't want that biodiesel to cool down
and gum up the engine side of it.

-[Mark] Gotcha.
-Okay, that makes sense.

All right, well,
before we tackle this new fuel system,

let's check out the back of this build.

Sounds good.

[Mark] Now that we've got the engine
and these doors installed,

let's get the roof on, the back panel on.

Caveman, you can help me slip the hood
on it real quick, get it bolted on.

I got to start fiberglassing up
all the cracks that are in it.

Okay.

Tony, I'll have you and Jake
work on the roof and the back panel.

-Okay.
-[Jake] All right.

[Mark] Constance, you start sourcing parts
for this biodiesel conversion kit.

All right, grab what it takes
to cut and drill.

[tools whirring]

[Caveman] Look, Tony, I've been framed.

-Good job?
-[all laughing]

[Mark] Originally, these Humvees
were designed to have a soft top

that allowed the military
to convert the truck

in a very quick manner from a two-door
to a four-door to a pickup.

But now if you're someone
that wants this vehicle

and you want to take it off-roading,
you definitely need a roof.

Hey, Jake,
let's get started on the back panel.

Since there's a strong possibility

that our client's gonna take this baby
through its share of mudholes,

we'll seal up the back
with an aluminum window panel.

I want to put the GG diamond.

That'll be a solid,
half-inch thick aluminum insignia,

and then we'll put windows over here,

just so there's no blind spot.

[Jake] Cool,
I'll get it finished right up.

[rock music playing]

-[Tony] Jake.
-[Jake] Yo.

-[Tony] I got a present for you.
-[Jake] About time.

-[Tony] Check this out.
-[Jake] That looks good, dude.

-So two windows and a logo in the middle.
-[Tony] That's it.

-[Mark] That came out pretty slick.
-[Jake] Yeah, that looks cool.

I got a few more pieces to cut out.
I'm still working on the logo.

I've got glass inserts,

and everything has trim rings
for the front and back.

[Mark] It seems like
we've gotten as far on this as we can

until the biodiesel parts come in.

Why don't you call it a day,
and we'll pick this up in the morning?

[Jake] Cool.

Adios, amigos.

[rock music playing]

Yo, these came out good, dude.

Yeah, so a little bend there, some rivets.

-Hey, what are you doing?
-What do you got there, Caveman?

-I was--
-[Jake] Looking all happy.

-[Tony] What's in the jugs, man?
-I was thinking about how you said

we could power this Humvee
with, you know, vegetable oil, right?

-Yeah.
-[Caveman] Okay.

So I went up to my favorite
Chinese restaurant up the street,

the Dragon Express.

As I'm sitting there,
filling my face, I see the kitchen,

and I'm like,
"Man, they use a lot of oil there."

"We could use that for the Humvee."

And since I know Pete and his crew there,

I hit them up,
and I brought ten gallons of fuel,

saved the shop a whole lot of money.

[fuel flowing]

-So you had lunch and brought us fuel?
-Is that why you were gone so long?

You were getting lunch?

Well, I was also getting fuel,
so it was a working lunch.

God bless Caveman.

He went out, showed initiative,

and he brought us back
ten gallons of biodiesel fuel.

[Jake] He really did come through.
That's for sure.

-I'm proud of Caveman.
-[Tony] Yep.

But according
to my little mathematical calculations

and what biodiesel costs right about now,

I think he saved us about 30 bucks.

I mean, you know what they say.

"It's the thought that counts"
and we're pinching pennies around here.

But he spent like 60 bucks on lunch.

-Well, that's true. [chuckles]
-I just wanted to point that out.

Well, listen, this is good.

Caveman, you took initiative,
you got it done.

And that's awesome, man.
But this is going to have to wait.

All of our biodiesel conversion parts
came in, and we need to get started.

Good job, Caveman.

[Tony] So we need something
that's going to switch between

our diesel fuel tank and our biofuel,

and I think I found
the thing that's gonna do it.

-[Caveman] Okay.
-[Tony] This is our fuel selector valve.

With a switch, this is one out of a dually
that we had here, so we'll use it.

A dually is a giant pickup truck
with two fuel tanks.

When one tank is empty, boom,
you hit the switch, you got more gas.

So we're using this same setup,

but we're gonna switch
between diesel and our biofuel.

But we also need to put in two heaters
inside the biodiesel tank.

-Looks like a water heater filament.
-[Tony] Yep.

If the grease gets cold,
it's gonna turn into thick sludge,

so we have to keep it warm
so it flows through the lines.

[Constance] I think
we should put the heaters

-on each side of the tank.
-One hole there, one hole there.

[Tony] Yeah. Caveman and Constance,

if you guys wanna finish
setting this tank up, that would be great.

Jake, I could use your help
hooking up these pieces.

-Okay.
-Sound like a plan?

[Caveman] Yep. Let's get it done.

[Constance] Okay. Let's figure out where
the holes for these heaters are gonna go.

-[Caveman] How about we go about 8 inches?
-Okay.

X marks the spot.

Eight by three and a half.

[Caveman] Mm-hmm.

With biodiesel, you can get
this thing called biodiesel gelling,

and basically what that is

is when it cools down,
it becomes this thick sludge,

and it can't
pump through the engine at all,

so hopefully with these heaters,

we'll be able to keep everything
at the right temperature

to keep it
flowing through the engine properly.

Okay.

In you go.

[Caveman] It's always that first thread,
you know?

[Tony] All right, Jake,
here's our selector switch. All hooked up.

-Sweet.
-You want to test this out?

-Yeah.
-Regular diesel…

-[switch buzzes]
-…biodiesel.

-[switch buzzes]
-Regular diesel, biodiesel.

-[Jake] Look at that.
-All right.

-[Jake] That's cool.
-[Tony] Not bad for a Tuesday.

Gosh, it's Tuesday?

It's Tuesday, man. It's almost Friday.

[laughs]

[Tony] Now for fuel lines.

[Jake] I got enough hose here for one,

but can you spool out some more
for a second?

[Tony] You know
what I need is hose clamps.

[Jake] Oh, yeah. I got a few over here.

-Oh, that one's on there.
-I got you.

[Jake] Got it?

Perfect.

[Tony] That's the last fuel line, Jake.
These are all hooked up.

[Jake] Cool.

With the fuel lines in place, it's time
to connect them to the new fuel tank.

Here we go, guys.

-[Tony] Wow.
-[Jake] Looks good.

[Tony] We stuck to the research
and rigged up this system from scratch.

This is the first time I've taken a crack
at building a biodiesel conversion system,

so I'm really hoping I got this right.

-I think this came out pretty good.
-Right.

[Tony] You guys take
that used Chinese restaurant cooking oil

and filter it really good
so we can put it in the tank.

We're almost done.

[rock music playing]

[music stops]

[exhales]

[Mark] I don't know
if I'm gonna keep this thing,

sell this thing.

But, uh, I'm just getting it finished up,
and I'm pretty excited about that.

It's been a long time coming.

Now for the fun.

[soft rock music playing]

Tony and the team,

they have that biodiesel conversion
totally under control.

Gives me time
to get that Kenworth wrapped up.

Going in. Got it.

It's been a monumental job,

but it's given me the time
and the inspiration

to pick the path forward for the shop.

I think the future of Gotham Garage,
it's cars that evoke a certain nostalgia,

a memory or a feeling of a different time.

And that will bring
the clients that we want too.

The ones that wanted something
when they were younger,

but they either couldn't have it,
or afford it.

Now that they're older,
and they have the money and the means

to fulfill their childhood dreams,

we can be the ones
that deliver it for them.

[music continues]

[music stops]

Badass.

[rock music playing]

To me, this truck represents a promise
I made to myself to honor my dad.

As a truck driver,
he drove one of these every day for years.

When I hear the engine,

it reminds me of being a kid
and knowing that my dad was home.

A few years ago, we had another truck
like this in the shop, the COE,

but before I could show it to my dad,

we got such a good offer on it,
I owed it to the team to take it.

Well, I'm not going to let
that opportunity pass me by again.

[music continues]

[music stops]

It's been a minute since I've seen my dad,

but I always knew he'd be the first one
I'd want to show this truck to.

-Hey, Dad, how you doing?
-Pretty good.

Let's just say that my dad has never been
one to show a lot of emotion

or give out praise easily,

but it's still important
that he's come to experience this with me.

And yeah, I'd be lying if I said
I wasn't nervous about showing it to him.

-You wanna take a look at the front end?
-Yeah. Let's see what it looks like.

I got big 24-and-a-halfs on it.

I don't care about gas mileage.
I'm all about looks.

-[both laughing]
-[Mark's dad] It looks nice.

[Mark] It runs like a champ. It's got
a brand-new stainless steel visor on it.

All the lights are all LED.

It looks just about like mine.

I like the visor. It's got
the same spotlights I got on my truck.

They were on this truck when we got it,
and I tried to keep all the vintage stuff.

We just reworked the whole thing.
You want to hear it run?

[engine starts]

-It sounds good. It's a 450?
-[Mark] Yep.

[Mark's dad] That was what mine was.

I hauled some hellacious loads with it.

[laughs]

Yeah, I like the fenders on the back,
and I like that fifth wheel.

You should've seen the grease
that came off of it.

Oh, I imagine so.

[Mark] So what do you think
of this '57 Kenworth?

-You guys did a real good job on this.
-[Mark] Thanks.

[Mark's dad] There's not many trucks
on the road like that.

-[Mark] Thank you. I appreciate it.
-[chuckles]

My dad's the kind of man
that doesn't really express himself,

but I could see it in his eyes.

This Kenworth brought him back
to his long haul trucking days,

and the nostalgia of that
put a smile on his face.

But I used to pull that hill


and I'd be passing all the guys
along the way.

Yeah.

When I got to the top,
they'd all pass me and were gone.

[both laughing]

[Mark] I could trade this truck
or sell it for a lot of money,

but watching
the old man relive those glory days,

that's kind of priceless.

I'm glad you like it, Dad.

-Glad you came down.
-It turned out nice. You did a good job.

-I will see you again soon.
-All right.

♪ If we're on a ride then I'm okay… ♪

[music stops]

-[Sean] Hey, Shawn, how you doing today?
-Hey, pretty good. Pretty good.

I'm calling because I wanted to get an ETA
on when that Humvee's going to be done.

I know it takes time. I just got a lot
of guys making me offers on this Jag,

and I wanna make sure
this is actually gonna happen.

Well, yeah, I'm aware of that,

and I understand
how enticing cash offers can be,

but remember,
we're building you your dream truck.

This is something that you want.

I mean,
we are so close from finishing this,

and I think you're going to think
it's absolutely amazing.

-How soon do you think it's gonna be?
-[Shawn] Not very long at all.

I tell you what,
I'll keep you updated every day.

-Will you hang in there for me?
-[Sean] All right, sounds good.

[Shawn] Okay, cool.

All right, I'll be in touch with you
in the next little bit. Take care.

-[Sean] You too.
-[exhales]

What's the possibility that you just find
a guy that's not so impatient and whiny?

Man, you know how these trade deals are.
These guys get a little squirrely.

Yeah, but this is a little different.

I mean, we're actually
building him a truck to trade.

We're not like, "Hey, we have this.
We'll trade you for that."

-I know.
-He needs to understand he's a client.

He's not just some dude
that's got a car that we need.

Realistically, how far out are we
before this is done?

Three or four days, I think.
End of the week, we'll have it done.

-[Shawn] Yeah?
-We'll be ready to trade it.

I mean, this guy really feels… It feels
to me that he's-- He's getting cold feet.

Well, you better get
this thing figured out.

[rock music playing]

[Caveman] Hey, look what I got.

-[Constance] Oil?
-Mm-hmm. Well, that's not all I got.

-Hey, I was looking for that earlier.
-It's my new hat.

Come on. You're gonna get
to play with it in a second.

You're as bad as Mark.
Take all the fun out of everything.

-Mm-hmm. Okay, so…
-Okay, so what are we doing?

…here's what we're gonna do.

I've never done this before,
but let's start straining.

Any time you're using
biodiesel fuel from cooking oil,

especially cooking oil that's coming
from a restaurant or your kitchen,

you could get little food particles,
and you have to filter it all out,

so that none of that gets stuck
in the engine because that would be bad.

So Caveman and I are gonna filter
this cooking oil

because the last thing we need

is for this engine
to be put out of commission

by orange chicken and egg rolls.

Let's try to be gentle with it

and don't be splashing it
all over the place.

[Caveman laughing]

-Okay.
-[Constance] A little bit.

"A little bit"?

-Okay. That was way too much.
-That was a little bit. No.

Your "a little bit"
and my "a little bit" is a lot different.

-You need to get over the bucket.
-I am over it on this side.

But not on this side.

-You poured too much.
-You got an oil leak.

[both] You have an oil leak.

-Here, have some more.
-No, no, no, no more.

[laughing]

This is the mess that I was referring to.

The oil's a lot cleaner now,
so let's fill up the tank.

♪ Oh, oh ♪

♪ Oh, oh ♪

♪ Oh, oh, oh, oh… ♪

[music stops]

Heaters are in,
pump, filter, everything's plumbed.

-We're gassed up and ready to run.
-Yeah.

All filled up with kitchen, uh,
disposable stuff. [laughs]

Do you ever feel like you need subtitles
for him just in real life?

-Yeah.
-[all laughing]

I see everybody's standing around.
It must mean you kids got it done.

We're waiting for ya.

Did you have Chinese food for lunch?
What am I smelling?

-[Constance] That would be the fuel.
-[Mark] You strained the oil, right?

Strained three times.

How messy was that?

I don't even wanna… It's done.
It's here. It's ready. That's enough.

Why don't we test fire it
and see if it runs?

-Yeah. Let's go.
-All right. Let's do that.

Well, hit the switches.
I want to hear it run.

All right.

Let's see. We got battery on.

-Start it on diesel, then switch it over?
-Yeah.

-So, right now, we're in diesel mode.
-[beeping]

The moment of truth has arrived.

The fuel's been filtered.
The tank is full.

Heaters and pumps are working.
The switch is powered.

We are good to go.

Key on. We're neutral. Here we go.

[engine starts]

Switch it over to the bio.

Switch it.

[engine continues roaring]

[Caveman] Wow.

Nice.

You can't even hear it switch over.
You don't hear the motor miss a beat.

It's smooth, like butter.

[Caveman] Like oil.

How's it looking? Leaking?

Not that I can see.

k*ll it.

[engine stops]

Well, looks like we got
a biofuel diesel Humvee.

Who would've thought
this big old thing would be eco-friendly?

[Mark] Let's let it run for 15 minutes

and just cycle itself through
and all that,

and I think we're ready to go to paint.

[Jake] Let's do it.

-[Tony] All right. Here we go.
-[Mark] Fire it up.

[engine starts]

I don't know about you guys,
but I'm going to get some Chinese food.

[engine roaring]

[tools whirring]

[Mark] We have to bodywork the hood,
primer it,

put the hood back on,
mask it all off, stuff it down.

-[Tony] Oh! We got a fire!
-[Jake] Whoa, whoa!

[Constance] Hey, we got smoke!

[tense music playing]

[Caveman] Oh, [bleep]!
