Listen up, Bunch their fans, this
week we're taking the show on
the road, and turning the cameras
on your home-grown Bunch theirs.
Alright.
Well, Jesse James goes back to school.
This is like to make it through
the old man back in Santa New York.
So teach these junior gear
heads the tricks of a tray.
You can see that thing, you're holding it
like it's got nothing
to do with the kids.
Around the kids put the dog
out and fall off a chair.
It's time for the rocket road
trip across the monster nature.
To reach the first stop on this
road trip, hang a ride at the LPC
and head east across the monster
nation for date owner Florida.
It may not be the creation of
Jesse James, but it's definitely
a monster, and its maker is
definitely one cool customer.
This is a 35 mile an hour's
on, I shouldn't do this.
Hell, I know Bunch the hard
out of our desk is good room.
Jimmy King is the ice
cream man from Hell.
He hires out his monster for high
-end parties, delivering frosty treats
at high speed from the rear end of
a transport 54 Chevy farm truck.
You can describe his ice
cream truck in one word.
So sweet from this backyard
monster has the competition plate.
They see this come down the street,
they hard down, they're smiling.
You guys ready to take your
thumbs for a sleigh ride?
There was an original 33,000 mile truck
because we wanted real steel on this truck.
People had seen it, they said
you're just nuts for cutting it up.
The only thing that we
used off that was the
fenders, the hood, the
front cowl, and the floor.
Everything else is hand fabricated.
The motor was 454, put a 30-kid
over in it, made it a 468, then
they put 1500 CFM carburetion on
it, completely out of control.
For an extra cool ride,
Jimmy decided to airbag
the ice cream truck and
slam it to the ground.
But we found that one thing, the
low you go, the more the though.
Customizing ain't cheap, and
monsterizing forget about it.
The secret is to make sure
the end result is worth it.
Yeah, that's what it's
all about right there.
So the next time you see the ice
cream man from hell, don't be afraid.
Just get in line and step
right up to this monster.
Because you're next.
On the other end of the map and right
around the corner from the monster garage,
there's a backyard monster
that's just waiting to be born.
It's day one at Long
Beach Polytechnic High.
And the youngest monster
built whoever is about
to trade in their pencils
for a plasma gunner.
There challenge.
Take a 1966 Volkswagen bug and turn
it into a sand slinging doom buggy.
Cool.
The rules.
Jesse is going to pick up the
parts tab for the student builders.
They're getting five days
to complete their monster.
But they'll have to finish
their regular school day first.
It's like a full day of work.
Yeah, do it.
If successful, each team member
will receive a Jesse James Toolkit.
Worth 700 bucks.
And Long Beach Poly will also score two
back toolkits for their shop program.
Schools out and the fun begins.
Representing hardworking hand-crafting
high schools everywhere are Jamie Espinoza.
Morley Pick.
Chris Feng.
Antonio Perez.
James J. Cox.
Refugio Marquez.
Brandon Overland.
And at the head of the class,
is Teacher and Mentor Art Broadhurst.
The kids just call him Mr. B.
Jesse is going back to
school to play guidance
counselor for these freshmen fabricators.
Man, when I had auto shopping high
school, I would do this change.
The faculty's oil.
Well, cool.
These things are pretty basic.
You know, they come apart really easy.
We're going to do it.
We got to make it look cool.
Go out and pick up some chicks.
That's the whole goal of having
a cool car and high school.
This backyard bill will be a textbook
example of turning a VW into a Dune Buggie.
They'll just remove everything
that's not a Dune Buggie.
Chop the chassis down by 15
inches and weld it back together.
Add a roll bar and some rims and voila!
A sand shredding buck
just ready to blast off.
It's a cool.
Let's have that in the second.
What can I call that?
It's their first monster tear down.
So Jesse sticks around to make
sure his jubles stay focused.
We're going to shed about five or six
hundred pounds off this whole car.
So that's added performance.
See if I can make it through the whole
day with that getting sent to the office.
That should pull right out
and pull that column out.
There you go.
There we said that.
Cloth.
Fuel line.
That was Hitler's revenge.
That's 10th eventually
dry rocks and cracks
and it'll just blow
fuel all over the motor.
You don't see too many Volkswagen's that
haven't got a burn mark or anything.
With Jesse's help, the VW is
quickly stripped to bare bones.
And there's a new pile of bug
guts in the corner of shop-class.
Ready?
Two, three.
On three, the team gives a final heave
and a beetle donates its
body to monster science.
Look at that.
All right.
So we need right here.
That was a easy part.
For rest of the day, I think you guys
should spend cleaning this whole pan.
But then when we cut it and
well that we have a good base.
Cool.
All right, guys.
I'm going to go back over
to the other monster garage.
I'll be back in a little bit.
Jesse leaves his builders in assignment.
Santa ties and prepped
the floor pan for surgery.
Then he heads back to the monster garage
to turn a cellar g*n into a jet car.
Yeah, it's really good experience.
Jesse is like inspiration
to me because I like it.
Taking stuff apart and making a monster.
I just, I still can't believe that.
I was just working with him.
The next stop on the monster
nation tour is Seattle Washington.
The home of clean coffee houses
backyard builder David Crowe.
And sesquatch.
Well, move over big foot.
His lifestyle is low key.
But his shoe is high heels.
My dream and life is to make
something that's out of this floor.
It's a cardboard cycle
park car all monster.
The Stiletto stands 8 feet tall.
And with 600 pounds worth
of spike strutting attitude,
this baby's no joke.
The Stiletto.
I'll sh**t guard.
Get him body.
Both the male and the female.
They end in the game.
And we're all coming
together in this one image.
You know, this thing took
me to a whole not a level.
Okay, now when you want to go faster,
you just need to hit your heels.
Why do they do it?
Is it the challenge of creating
something with your own hands?
The need for speed or
just doing something?
No one else is ever done.
Basically, this is
designed to be a checkback.
Wow.
I don't know what to think of this.
I love it.
And I hate it at the same time.
Somewhere in here,
there's a 50 foot woman.
And she's ghost.
This Dilletto fits for this soul man.
And it would take a mighty big
woman to walk a mile in his shoe.
Back at Long Beach Polytechn.
The buggy has been stripped fair.
And Jesse's cool yard builders
are carrying out his assignment.
They've scraped, scrubbed and sucked.
All the rust and oil, humanly possible,
off their monsters underbelly.
Looks very good. We've stayed clean.
That's good.
I like that.
You guys are using your heads.
Going to be clean the whole thing
with the toothbrush, if you wanted.
Yeah.
This young crew scores an A for the day.
They've already dialed into
a monster garage mantra
that many builders never comprehend.
Monster garage mantra.
Work hard and smart.
Tomorrow, the builders will tackle
the task of cutting out the floor pans
and then chopping the bugs frame in half.
This cuts pretty critical
because, you know,
if the car's basically
going to be cut half.
I think if we can get it
cut apart tomorrow and
well, they're back together.
Okay.
We look good.
Cool.
Under the tutelage of Jesse James,
the monster apprentices
get good marks for day one.
But the real hard work is yet to come.
Our next pit stop on
the monster nation tour
is an ancient land ruled by Pharaohs
in steeped in mystery.
That's right.
It's most Venice, California.
Like all monster builders,
Byron Priors started out with a dream.
In Byron's case, maybe it was
more like an hallucination.
This thing had really started
more as a vision than an idea
in a saw in the desert walkie.
And from there, I knew I had to make it.
He knew he had to make it.
But what exactly is it?
What we have here is a novice.
The Egyptian god of death.
A novice is Lord Byron's royal ride.
He cruises like an Egyptian Pharaoh,
carried it off by his posse
of four hand carved demigods.
But the Pharaoh's float
had humble beginnings
as a daily driver at the
demo derby jerk track.
There we have a 1972 Ford LTD
with a 351 Cleveland engine at it.
Nice.
We use the word NICE a lot.
Anytime something's nice, we say NICE.
We say NICE.
When he says we, Byron's not
speaking in the Royal Wii,
he means himself and fellow
builder Rick Gansberger.
I just thought it was just way crazy.
Just too much work, too
much of a contraption.
Later, the more I thought about it,
I just felt, well, you
know, it's possible.
Rick engineered a slick
way to put some glide
in the stride of the walking men.
I geared that walk mechanism
directly from the drive shaft.
Made this a centric.
This is centric, which
rotates in a circular motion
and it had to be converted
into reciprocating motion.
And that's what this does.
Causing these mancages
to go back and forth
and make them in the walk.
When they walk, they go like this,
giving the parents that they're
walking like an Egyptian.
All right.
Rick did most of the
leg work on the Anubis,
but for idea man and sculptor Byron,
the project became a
love-hate relationship.
He loved doing it and his
wife hated him for it.
My wife pretty much hated
me because she's like,
Hey, this is taking a way
too much of your time,
but it's something I had to do with it.
I just knew we were making one of
the coolest things in the world.
People would drive by, they'd
look, they'd laugh, they'd smile,
they'd just look at you like you're nuts.
A little out of place here in
Friendly Las Banners, California.
Monster mechanics 101 is back in session
at Long Beach Polytechnic.
It's day two for Team June Buggy.
We're going to re-measure everything,
so we know exactly where
we're going to cut.
The Golden Rule of Building.
Measure twice.
Cut once.
So we can start cutting
the part of the chassis.
But before they put the
blade to their buggy,
they scope out the brand
new fiberglass body
that arrived courtesy
of vintage fighters.
On day one, the team figured out
they needed to chop 15 inches
out of the bug's midsection
and shorten up the chassis
to accommodate the new body.
But when they do a day two drive it,
they discover a new problem.
Where's it hit?
Oh, it's on a tunnel.
The tunnel that runs vertically
down the center of the chassis
is keeping the shell from finish.
No, I got the bug.
And it's got to sit flat.
So I got a feeling we're
going to have to trim this.
Sort of wish Jesse was here,
so we could ask him what he thought.
For now they'll pass on cutting
into the fiberglass body
and go on to the problems they can solve.
Well, let's lift this thing off
and then we'll go back to cut that tube.
Like chopping their
bulls, wagging in half.
They start by cutting
away the bug's w*r panel.
When they finish chopping the chassis,
they'll need to shorten the
drive shaft and cableing.
So James removes the
section of the tunnel
so they can see inside.
What they find is everything
they expected and more.
There's about two inches of
water standing inside the tunnel
left over from last
night's steam cleaning.
Hopefully the inside parts are all right.
We're going to jack it up and
try to drain the water out.
We improvised on it and it's working.
We got the job done.
The bullsawking chassis
is left high and dry
but so is the build
team because Jesse still
hasn't been able to fill
out of the jack build.
Jesse hasn't come back yet.
So we have to decide if we're
going to cut the shell or not.
So Mr. B takes charge and not just
out of the niche with the tunnel.
Tarty but not true it.
Jesse rolls into class just
in time to enjoy a victory
with his builder prodigies.
Cool.
It's whackin.
Finally it's time to cut the
frame and happen by set the box.
Where's that puzzle in?
The shortest distance through
a VW frame is a straight line.
That bad place.
Who's cut straight across there?
We can have two nice cut lengths.
You guys know how to work that thing?
They need to clear some excess metal out
of the way before they chop the frame
under the watchful eye
of Professor James.
Antonio takes the first
shot with the torch.
Then Morley gets his turn.
Let me see that thing. You're
holding it like it's got a dog.
I can't think of it.
He's scared of it.
It's not going to bite you.
I taught my son how to
weld these only six.
I told him the site played with fire.
We're getting paint.
Just a little bit more of Shemiko.
I'll be your boss.
There.
Hmm.
There.
Yeah.
It doesn't look too bad.
You guys should be cool.
Tech it and take your time cutting it.
Don't try to rush it
because if you cut too much,
then it's going to leave a bigger gap in.
Well, it's going to make it crooked.
All right. I'll be back later on, guys.
Jesse heads out again.
Leaving his builders the
assignment of shortening up
the budget.
Jesse, before the bell rings on day two.
James text the straight
edge saw guides in place.
Then the team measures one last time.
Well, we measured about ten times now.
So we're ready to make the cut.
Two days of preparation
and in ten minutes,
it's all over.
What is it?
Okay.
I want to slide these
two pieces back together.
My two, three.
Cars are like this right now.
It's like, critically, it's to be like,
this is like, off fire, like,
half an inch for something.
Jesse, I'm going to be like,
this isn't what I told you to do.
Like, a bad haircut.
The bug frame is half an
inch shorter on one side.
There's only one thing left to do.
Even it out real quick
before Jesse gets back.
The sauce moves out
the bud's rough edges.
They're ready to start stitching
it back up and just in time.
The moment of truth is
arrived, will the shiny
new fiberglass top marry up to the burned
and butchered bug bottom?
It's been a productive day for Team Dune
Buggy, but it's also been a long one.
The master motorbader gives a quick
lesson in real world economics.
Well you guys can build
whatever you want.
You know, hey that's how I
learned how to do everything.
I didn't have any money, so I wanted cool
expensive looking stuff
and I couldn't ever afford
aside to learn how to make it.
The friend of mine told me a long time
ago, don't be afraid to charge him.
People want to be charged.
Is it okay?
Well cool guys.
Well I probably'm not going
to be around the market, so
I try to get all the controls
done, get that steering
and everything hooked back up.
Get all your clutch and
pass and we should be cool.
The next stop on the Monster Nation
Road Trip is Taylor's build Georgia.
All good monsters need
a great set of pipes
and this one blows the competition away.
It's 27 feet long way, 19,000 pounds.
It's about 16 steam whistles.
That's a submarine horn up there.
The copper colon is a fog horn.
It has three steam sirens and four
ships horn got up here in front.
It took Tyler Bracey five and a half
years to build this backyard behemoth.
And the price tag?
I can tell you there's
over big and all of that.
The big question on the big horn is why?
Tyler made his monster for
a lot of little reasons.
To bring joy to other people.
It reminds me of Willy Wonka
in the chocolate factory.
This is the coolest car I've ever seen.
This massive monster makes a big racket.
So keep your ears open because Tyler
Bracey tours his creation to museums
and special events across
the Monster Nation.
It's day three at Long
Beach Monster Technic Eye.
And one by one, the builders in
training roll into shop class.
Let's figure out what we got to do.
Mr. B is waiting by the chocolate
board ready to get rolling on the bug.
We got to finish the weld.
The accelerator cable.
We got the clutch cable.
We got the shift rod.
What else?
All the pedals got to go back in.
I knew there was one more somewhere.
The team applies a built technique
that is a monster garage standard.
Divide and conqueror.
Junior reboots the CV joints.
Morely replaces the pedals.
Jamie welds up the floor pan.
And Antonio does everything else.
I don't like doing
everything, I don't know.
I jump from looking to another.
They're each picking something
that they're good at.
They're working on it.
That's one reason this thing is
starting to slide together so quick
because these guys are
all working together.
They're firing on all cylinders.
Then suddenly, Antonio
makes a comment about
Jamie's welding that has Jamie redlining.
Don't go.
Let's do it.
Let's do it.
I'm ready.
I'm ready.
I'm ready.
I'm ready.
I'm ready.
I'm ready.
I'm ready.
I'm ready.
I'm ready.
I'm ready.
I'm ready.
I'm ready.
I'm ready.
I'm ready.
I'm ready.
I'm ready.
I'm ready.
I'm ready.
I'm ready.
I'm ready.
Just 90 minutes into build day three
and the team suffers a major meltdown.
Everybody's getting frustrated and stuff.
Maybe they had some problems
before the show or whatever.
I really don't know.
But we just got to keep focused and
let our Eagles get out of the way
because we have Eagles,
spring, and a finish this.
Antonio's a little hard a*s.
He always does something to
say if somebody is doing it,
not as good job as him.
I'm not the kind of person to take that.
So I mean, if this really
is the end of stuff
is going on, I just kept my patients in.
You know, I'm very patient today.
I'm just holding up on the stage.
Take the day off.
Come back tomorrow.
Come back tomorrow.
It's going to take all
hands to finish the build.
But for now, Antonio's got to go.
I think it's better.
He goes home tonight.
I don't want him to leave either.
But I think tonight he needs to go.
Maybe he'll be back tomorrow.
We'll see what happens tomorrow.
Team Dunebagi hits a
rocky road on day three
and discovers another valuable
bit of monster philosophy.
Monster Duage Montron.
If you're busy, you're not busy building.
Let's figure out who we're at.
Lucky for these guys, James Jr.
and Morley kept working right
through the drama and knocked
out some of the to-do list
instead of each other.
Okay, guys, I spent a long one.
Guys, I'm working hard.
And two more days of
similar kind of work.
And we should have this thing wrapped up.
I think it's going to get us.
If back yet tomorrow, I guess.
They won't know until
tomorrow if they'll be working
at full strength for
the rest of the build.
Or if they'll be one man down.
Heading northeast to
Victorville, California.
The monster nation tour meets
up with the monster party wagon.
If you're seeing here, it's
our mobile party dance floor.
We've got a DJ coming out
in the middle of the desert.
And we're going to have a party.
Not all monsters are pretty.
But this one does have unusual
features that appeal to its designers,
Steven Spalding and Gene Zucker.
We've got a full-length
dance floor on the roof,
big-sounds system, stereo speakers,
go-go dancing cage in the back.
Besides the classic and
timeless go-go dancer cage,
Steven and Gene are most
proud of their flying bridge.
The steering, the shifter, we
took a duplicate steering column,
hooked it up here.
A couple of huge joints goes down into
the top of the stock power steering box.
That's how we do our steering.
So we're basically duplicating
all the controls inside up on top.
Wild mannered engineer
by day, spider by night.
As Steven and Gene lumber
off into the desert,
with their band of Mary Maniacs,
we'll head down the road
in search of more monsters.
Don't move a muscle monster fence,
because there's plenty more of
your home-grown monster usides
to go around.
Just the wrongness of it
is what makes it good.
And Team Doombuggy had a blowout.
Will they rally back to
finish their monster?
Or will it turn out to be a doomed buggy?
Next stuff on the monster tour,
we stop in Los Angeles,
where Baron Margo is bringing you
show off his cosmic record guard.
It goes over a hundred miles an hour.
Very, very fast.
Oh, it's like right in a
Disneyland ride on the street.
It's just so much fun.
There were the airborne in your face.
It's just a thrill to drive it every day.
We took about a year to build it,
fabricated the whole
thing from the frame,
the engine, the drive train, everything.
These two tanks, there are
drop tanks of an airplane.
And I have to find these
two tanks in a junkyard.
These particular items right here
were port holes from a
boat to create a air vents
for the heat, for the engine to escape.
I found the seats in
airplane wrecking yard.
They're out of a jet.
Another of Baron's modified rides
may just be a museum quality monster.
This car right here,
I believe it to be in real early,
Troutman and Barnes before
the race model that they did.
It was in the Peterson Museum.
And I love working with aluminum
because he can polish it up
and stuff it up.
I had to do the whole drive
train, the interior, the glass.
These are 20 inch wheels
and they're off a diamond T.
So I made a giant adapter sport.
Bed knobs, brass tubing,
and bar rail gargoyles
make up the back bumper.
I also drilled out the eyes
and put in reflectors in here.
So when a car comes up on
you, the eyes light up green.
I think it's something
that can build them.
At Long Beach Polytechnic,
the high school builders
are ready to tackle day four
of their doon buggy build.
Yesterday's fireworks left
the team one man short.
I think tonight he needs to go.
Maybe he'll be back tomorrow.
We'll see.
But today Antonio shows
some monster maturity
by rejoining his classmates
to finish the project.
I don't want to let Mr. B down.
So I just came back.
Back at full strength,
the team enters the shop
with two bill days left to go.
They've eliminated the big
ticket items on their list.
But there are a lot of
little things left to do.
We're going to have to all get
together and get going on this thing.
We'll have to do it.
Jamie and Morley recycled the
tail lights from the old bug.
I think that work.
I'm going to have to take the
shift right out and cut it.
Mr. B teams up with Antonio and
Chris to adjust the shift rod
and tweak the throttle cable.
And James and Junior jump
on the job of making sure
their doon buggy has stopping power.
Lean brakes to the crane pressure.
When we drive it, we don't
go right into the street.
We have brakes.
They locked up.
Racer done.
A special delivery arrives
from vintage spiders.
Some doon buggy essentials.
Headlights, a hood.
And so they won't get
bugs in their teeth.
A windshield for their beetle.
Thanks for it.
It's beginning to come
together on day four.
Just in time to see his
builders working together
like a well-oiled gearbox.
Jesse James rolls into class
with some doon buggy blingling.
Like that.
So old school center lines.
You guys know you only
have one day left, right?
You guys are starting to
get tired and I can tell.
We were here late last night.
Yeah.
We're good.
I didn't get old all night.
That's cool.
It's only like 3 million
people are going to see this.
So if you guys want to be lazy, go ahead.
Why don't you guys try to get that
body on and get it mounted tonight?
Yeah, that's cool.
Tomorrow we'll do gas
tank, windshield and seats.
All right.
You guys ready?
You guys need to work together to finish
everybody's going to have
to be doing something.
You guys are getting tired.
Jesse knows fatigue when he sees it.
He also knows about yesterday's
fireworks between Jamie and Antonio.
And Antonio is headed for
the principal's office.
Every time I'm on a build,
when I leave for a day,
it's that's four for four
someone's got in the fight.
You know?
Yeah.
Well, what's up with that?
I don't know he just pissed me off.
You know what?
Yeah.
That's the part of life.
When you graduate and you
get a job, you're not going
to be best buddies with
everybody you work with.
There's always going to
be one loud mouth guy.
There's always going to
be one guy that just you
don't like and you avoid
quitting isn't the answer.
And I'm glad you decided to
come back because if you quit,
that means he's better than
you and he's got you to quit.
You know, and this thing, if you're not
here helping, we're not going to make it.
You got to dig down and work.
You know, just ignore it.
Are you cool?
Yeah.
All right.
You'll be all right.
Okay.
Jesse lays down some rules
of the road to success.
There's more to life than auto shop.
I never had auto shop in high school.
All I had was metal shop.
You used to make silences for g*ns.
No, I'm just kidding.
I wouldn't be that.
All right.
I'll see you guys tomorrow.
The shift rod is installed
in some old school
center lines adds style
points to the project.
Down at the strip rod.
Down at the world.
They're ready to bolt on the new body,
but so far they're out of alignment.
Let's go hold if we get lined up.
It's just, it's just not
quite lined up right.
It's just going to have to work.
Can I get you Mr. B?
No. Oh, man, I was aiming for you to.
Nice try, though.
Both by bolt, the body is
cinched down onto the chassis.
Chris steps outside for a breather.
And here's some big news from his family.
Guys, as a 15 minutes ago, I
just got a little baby brother.
It was a name.
Tyler.
Mr. B breaks out a circa
1970s wiring Bible.
If they can get juice to their dune buggy,
they may be able to fire it up tonight.
But these builders'
batteries are running low.
Ruby, you're waiting for you to wake up.
Guys, I think it's time to wrap it up.
Honestly.
Well, it's getting late.
It's getting late.
And Mr. B wants to throw
in the towel on day four.
Mr. B needs an app.
They hung tough in day four.
Tomorrow they'll see if they can have
enough spark left to fire up the box.
We're kicking you guys out.
Okay.
We're getting a victory by the teacher.
The monster nation tour is
rolling into San Jose, California.
Well, I'm a guitar rider.
I ride from coast to coast.
Where do you keep the world's
fastest guitar in the garage?
Of course.
The most.
Ray Nelson is the builder sculptor
and creator of this 606 train.
Building the guitar for took a year.
It's a built on a 650 Yamaha.
The guitar's all made
out of five of the last.
And I did have this up to 100
miles an hour, over on highway one.
Not many people can
claim to have written a
guitar coast to coast
across the monster nation.
In 1982, I rode from here
to New York and back.
After the trip, friend of mine
called me from Fairfields.
You're in Ripley's believe it or not.
So it came out as the only guitar
ever written coast to coast.
Now this guitar man has
a brand new monster plan.
I find myself facing a new challenge.
I finally started building a 14
and a half foot acoustic guitar.
I don't have a big garage like the
monster garage guys do, but I'm ready.
Another coast to coast
trip in the making.
But not quite yet.
It's day five.
The final day of the high school build.
Just to your rives early bearing
presence of you'll sell and some seats.
Yeah, you guys just split up.
You want to start working
on mountain ill seats?
The new exhaust system arrives.
So junior jumps on the
job of plumbing the pipes.
Jesse recruits volunteers James and Jamie
to take a ride to the monster garage
to make the roll cage.
Welcome to the high octane
candy store, kiddies.
That's what's that on TV.
But these kids came to the
monster garage to work.
Hey, you guys.
Mark it on the side.
Let's see.
Jesse gives the boys a quick
lesson on bending steel.
I always do it to seam up because then
it always gives you a reference point.
Jesse, look at this thing.
Yeah, we'll check that out.
Before they leave, James and Jamie get
us sneak peek at the monster garage.
Big show.
So we're all going to
experience our lifetime chance.
Yeah.
It's crazy.
You get a swap over and
put me in him over here.
Showtimes over and they had back
to school to finish their bargain.
Back at the shop, Mr. B mounts up
the roll bars and Jesse breaks out
a monster math lesson in car customizing.
We're turning human games
into a cubic dollar.
Oh, this is Mr. B's
secret space right here.
Inspired by Jesse's math
lesson and Tonyo hits
Mr. B's used car lot to
subtract a steering wheel
and turn a profit.
Well, we're going to steal this now.
Take that out on our boat.
Here you go.
Now, put that on there.
With five hours to spare, they
add the finishing touches.
We got to feel so in.
See that's all right.
Yeah.
Let's go drive it up and
down the parking lot.
And Jesse's ready to light
the fire under the dune buggy.
The master fabricator differs
to the master educator.
Mr. B gets to break in the bottom.
Mr. B gets to break in the bottom.
There are hard work pays off.
You guys want some tools?
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
All right.
My time.
I think they deserve them.
They weren't tired on this thing.
I think this is cool, man.
This is what this all week was all about.
We're loving it.
Well, you guys did it.
How's it feel?
Cool.
Yeah.
Guys, you guys are
interested in one of these.
And we're going to give Mr. B
two big tool sets for the car.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
Good job, guys.
You guys didn't quit.
You were the guy to quit, right?
That's it.
All right.
Thanks for helping me.
All right.
Beat it.
It's best to do the past here, guys.
It's a bad time.
Yeah.
Time to go to night night.
There's no room in the monster nation
for a plain wrap, white bread beetle.
So pinstriper extraordinaire,
Pete Finland is getting his
proven and covering the Dune buggy
with a fresh coat of attitude.
Pete unveils a fresh set of flames.
And this monster buggy is
ready to hit the dunes.
While the paint dries on the Dune buggy,
let's make one more stop
on the monster nation tour,
used in Texas where they build them.
This is my baby.
I built this one by myself.
Timothy Young spent four months
creating his sunflower car.
You know, I've always been
kind of an out there bull guy.
But why did he pick a flower?
I wanted to work with an
organic form, like drew a flower
and I thought of different ways that
he might interpret it into a vehicle.
To bring his flower to life, Timothy
started with a stack of steel
and fabricated the sculpture.
Once I had created the framework, I
started covering it with metal plates.
Each piece handcrafted out,
forced it in there, clamp it down
and then go ahead and weld it up.
After the metal work was done, a
large truck was needed for the base.
I got a Chevy suburban that
would accommodate a large load.
This suspension, though, did
have to be highly modified
to accommodate the oversized structure.
It looks easy, but making this
flower turn was the real challenge.
It ended up involving a dozen
new joints and two chain systems
to eventually connect it to
the original steering box
down inside the motor cavity there.
It's certainly gratifying
that I've built it all myself.
Seeing people's reaction
really just changed my life.
It's crazy, I can't believe
what I'm looking at.
You should be proud of yourself to
think of such a thing and really do it.
One last word of advice for
you would be monster makers.
If you do this to your mother's
suburban, she will get very upset.
Hello Monster fans, big
swag here, tag it along
on the last leg of the tour.
We made our way up the California
coast and we're hitting the beach.
That's right, Pesmo Beach for
a much their nation challenge.
But we didn't come here for
the surf, we came for the sand.
And this here's the biggest
sandbox this side of the Sahara.
The high school builders
are hoping their monster,
the doom buggy, will be
taking the checkered flag.
Hey, look guys, it's Jesse James.
Hey, look shorter in person.
Oh, that's Jesse Jr.,
he's riding shotgun today
with big daddy change.
Jesse Jr. is climbing in and buckling
up its safety first for the little guy.
For big guy says, the helmet law
is in effect in the sand pit.
Second, oh boom.
Jesse's firing it up.
f*ck down buggy roars to life.
They're heading to the starting line.
Check it out, here comes the competition.
A rocket red beetle buggy
conversion driven by David Leibag.
Whoa!
And he didn't come here
to build sand castles.
He's given Jesse the eye.
It's the monster stare down.
Wait a minute, it's the
monster stare down and a half.
It's almost go time folks.
The green flag is up and they're off.
The red rocket beat the
doom buggy off the line.
He got the whole shot for sure.
But Jesse James didn't
come up here to lose.
He wants to win for Jesse Jr.
It's time to bring home the pro.
You look at him.
Turn neck and neck.
Jesse's thinking about the inside.
And he takes Billy.
You got to be kidding me.
Haha.
Keep the game badly.
Nice move by the master fabricator.
He's got the lead.
But Kenny hold on to it.
It's going to be close.
They're fendered offender and
headed for the finish line.
Yes.
Yes.
Jesse and Jesse Jr.
Take the checker flag and the doom buggy.
That high school built team
has to be mighty proud.
And there's the show of sportsmanship.
The handshake after the sandstorm.
Job guys.
But Jesse's got no time for surf and sun.
Beatles for fun and sand in his shark.
He's got metal of burn.
Sparks the fight.
The next monster nation road
trip is just a road stop.
Homemade monsters take
over Jesse's domain.
Next week.
On monster garage.
Who is the world best by builder?
The bikes are built

As the Orange County crew
takes Daytona Beach by storm.
