Steve mcqueen's son, and he said
he wanted to talk to me.

And when steve mcqueen's

Richard:
chad is the son of legendary
movie actor steve mcqueen.

Hollywood's king of cool
was a top box office draw

During the '60s and '70s

In films such as "the getaway,"
"the great escape,"

And my all-time favorite
car chase film, "bullitt."

You know, this is the 50th
anniversary of my dad's picture,

"Bullitt."

Like his dad, chad's been in
dozens of movies and tv shows.

He was one of the cobra kai
in the original "karate kid."

He got bit by the racing bug.

Chad started racing dirt bikes
when he was only nine

And quickly
moved on to racing cars,

But he was forced
to retire in 2006

After crashing his car
into a wall at daytona.

But that doesn't mean
chad's given up on cool cars.

No, sir.

They've got the new
steve mcqueen edition

Made by steeda and ford.

It has more horsepower,
upgraded suspension and tires,

Steve mcqueen branding.

Whoa.

You can see they put my dad's
name on the supercharger.

Richard:
it's a modern incarnation
of the old '68 fastback,

But with more
than 775 horsepower

And riding on nitto g2
high performance tires.

It's got a cool look.

It's the modern version

And shock towers
are reinforced

And even magnafluxed

That the metal
was perfectly solid.

Plus heavy-duty front coils
were installed

Along with koni shocks,

turning the stucco bathtub

Posi-track
and disc brakes for safety.

four-week deadline.

more time or budget.

things would start to go bad,

bigger coils in for

The 390 block --
up the suspension,

Beat this thing a little bit,
disc brakes in the front,

Which it had drums initially.

Disc brakes will help
chad mcqueen's driver handle

The hard turns
and provide safety.

Drum brakes heat up,
they don't pull as well,

And when they do, they can fail,
and we definitely don't want

we got fresh paint, dude.

Our third member.

We sent the old third member
out, got it all redone.

We've also put
in a limited-slip positrac --

Whatever you want to call it.

But, basically,
what that does is,

If one wheel starts to
spin faster than the other,

It kicks to the other wheel

we're doing any kind of burnouts

Or sliding around corners
or donuts or anything,

Both wheels are spinning, it
makes it a lot easier to drive.

reinforcement for

The jumping that's coming up?

'cause we'd hate to go down

And break on the first jump.

But when was the last time
anyone regretted having

More horsepower?

I guess you got one over on me,
but we can't back up now.

So get it off, get it in.

-All right. I love it.
-Let's strap it in.

Richard: tell the monkeys not
to monkey with something.

Well, they did.

Monkeying.

Monkey and get it
painted.

I believe that having more
horsepower is great.

But that can lead us down
a trail of unknowns,

And I don't need that right now.

Chad wants a car that looks
exactly like the one

That his father drove
in the original "bullitt" movie

So that when he raises the hood,

It looks just like
it's supposed to.

Mike: our motor for our mustang,
we got to get that

Factory appearance, and the way
we're gonna do that is,

We're gonna paint the motor
to look blue like it was.

So we're gonna paint
the aluminum heads,

And we're gonna paint
the intake and the block.

Wish me luck, little richard.

Ford used to paint
its high-performance

And racing engines blue.

They say it made locating fuel
and oil leaks easier

Because fluid contrast
starkly against the blue paint.

Anyways, if I get paint
on the valve covers,

It doesn't matter because
we're putting new ones on.

Then I'll let it dry
so the guys can take it

And stab it in along
with the transmission.

The steeda guys dropped
by today with their

Steve mcqueen "bullitt" edition.

-It's gonna be up here.
-Yep.

It's gonna be
a major problem.

I mean, unless it's way low,
but there's no way.

Josh: here's the problem.
This is a small engine bay,

And with this big-block motor
in here and the aftermarket

Long-tube headers, everything's
starting to get really crowded.

The exhaust is gonna be
really tight in here.

You can tell just
by eyeballing it.

Here's the thing.

You can have a bigger motor
if you want.

That's fine.
Hell, it's the gas monkey way.

You need to have clearance,
though,

For everything else
coming off of it.

If you start having clearance
issues and if everything starts

Rubbing into each other,
you're gonna have problems.

What did we order them for?
Did we order them for a mustang?

They're ordered
for this motor,

But they obviously
do not fit this motor.

Okay, well, what are we gonna do
to solve this problem?

Find a different header
or modify it.

Oh, my god.

Josh: our only solution is,
we need to have chad order

A set of headers that'll fit
right on to this motor

And into this engine bay.

If we don't get this motor
in today,

Richard's gonna blow a gasket.

At least it's going smooth
and you have no issues.

[ Groans ] yeah.

What the hell, guys?
Why is the motor not in?

Wrong parts, wrong parts,
wrong parts.

This is starting to be
a [bleep] problem.

It already
is a problem.

We're a little tight.
So I'm starting to panic.

The issue is that we've got
a motor that we've got headers

That don't fit, we've got
factory manifolds that don't fit

The heads that we upgraded
on the motor.

So we've got this
snowball effect

Of things that
keep going wrong.

So I should've just went
stock instead of trying

To give him that
extra horsepower.

This change of motor idea
of mine -- terrible idea.

It did snowball,
didn't it?

Yes. I mean, the idea
was to get the most horsepower

Out of this car,
look stock.

But the fact
of the matter is,

The headers are a pain --
major pain.

Yeah.

So if we just stuck with
the regular 330-horse motor,

We'd already be done.

We are still waiting
on a transmission

That the car doesn't have,
so even if we have

A motor in here,
we have no transmission.

Is there any good news?

looks sensational.

Geez.

Jeremy: chad showed up, and he
added a few things that were

Very important,
like the skid plate

So we don't cave
this oil pan in.

Otherwise, the first time they
jump the car, might break it.

Chad got us thinking
about jumping this thing,

And we realized that besides
the oil pan,

We also have headers
hanging low.

So we're adding more
than just a skid plate.

One of the things we're
gonna add is these

Subframe connectors,
and what that'll do is

Tie the front subframe
to the rear subframe.

You give it
a little extra strength.

They'll also act as
big slide rails, basically,

So when the car bottoms out
and slides,

It'll hit this and not the
actual underneath of the car.

And hopefully, when they're
done jumping the streets,

The doors will still open
and close without the car

Being a little buckled.

Josh: while jeremy welds
in the subframe connectors,

I'll add some pieces
to protect the oil pan.

average skid plate.

had filmed a realistic car chase

A year earlier on the streets of
london for the film "robbery."

And reinforcements underneath so
he knows the limits of the car.

some subframe connectors

To help stiffen it up a bit.oh, nice.

So, what do you really think
about these tires?

be too slick or...?

they're gonna be a bit

Counteractive for what we want,
which is they got a lot of

Forward grip
and no side grip.

It's just gonna take

Air pressure to keep
the tires standing upright.

that can't be good.

At the end of that pass,
the mustang blew a lot of smoke.

It's coming out of the exhaust.

-That's oil or fuel?
-I smell oil.

Oh. It -- it burnt out
of the breather.

It's right here.

-Yep. It's all over --
-all over here.

Richard: looks like we sent
a little oil

Out of the breather.

Made a mess, but we dodged
a b*llet this time.

-So it's non-mechanical?
-No, no, no.

Nice.
We're still working.

It's more like just
an oil spill.

Not a big deal.

We just got to wipe it down
so it doesn't burn.

Now, the smoke at the end
doesn't bother you.

Doesn't it look like
he just kicked another gear

And took on off?
Right.

[Bleep] right, dude.
Here we go.

We lose him for half a second,
but we pick him up like that.

Who cares about that?
That's good.

Are you good with that?i'm good.

That's gonna be awesome.

I'm rolling in to do set up
and rehearse the mirror shot.

Richard: I'll be sitting in the
passenger seat as the bad guy.

And 3, 2, 1...go!

This is the iconic look
in the rearview mirror.

"Oh, man, he's behind us."

And reset.

This shot, I call them
whoop-de-dos or the whumps,

When the cars are, like, whump,
over the city streets,

Whump, whump, on the street
where they did it.

Richard: with every shot,
the intensity goes up...

Drivers, stand by.
Everybody back.

...and the car's put to more
and more difficult tests.

Everybody knows that this car's
coming through fast, right?

It has to perform
and survive each stunt,

Or this movie won't have
an ending.

Here we go!

The stress level
is so unbelievable.

Man: yeah,
you can feel it. Yeah.

Action, ron!

[ Engine revs ]

Whoa!

-That was awesome.
-It's great.

-That's okay.
-It's got a guard on

For that reason.
-It's great.

-No, it's great.
-Holy [bleep] that was fast.

Russell: that's why
we added the skid plate.

-Oh, my god.
-That was [bleep] beautiful.

Was it?

Zip it over to jason real fast.

Let's take a look at it.

The skid plate we added
did its job,

But something else
has gotten weird.

You can go ahead and shut off
for a minute. I'll take a look.

It's running like
total [bleep] now.

Yeah, it's leaking.
It's loading up big time.

It's got gas
all over the intake.

Guys, get me
an extinguisher right away.

It's just -- it's --
one of the floats are stuck.

-Yep.
-Right now, we got a float stuck

On the back carburetor.

Hopefully we just tap down,
clean up the gas,

And get back after it.

But till we get to that part,
we won't know.

Jason: we planned ahead for
fixes like this

And kind of borrowed rick mori's
mustang garage where we can work

On the car overnight.

I was right about the carb.
The floats needed adjusting.

Turns out we also had
a faulty alternator.

And while we're at it,
we'll change the oil.

Then our "bullitt" mustang
will be ready for

An even tougher day 2
of filming.

♪♪

Guys, bring that radio to me.

Come on. Let's get these
radios out today.

Today's day 2.
It's beautiful.

Couldn't ask for more.
-We're gonna do rehearsal now.

Jason got the car up
and running right,

And the suspension held up
great yesterday.

But today I'm kind of nervous
because the transmission's gonna

Be tested to its limits

Re-creating another scene
from "bullitt."

[ Tires squealing ]

This is the scene where
your grandpa came down here,

Overshot the turn,
locked up the front brakes.

He had the fortitude to slam
into reverse and look back.

[ Tires squealing,
engine revving ]

Now, people say he did that so
he could get a close-up.

And he was, like, hanging out
of the window, yeah.

But he had to see where
he was going.

It's got to look organic like
grandpa did it, you know?

That wasn't a part of
the original script.

No, that was not.

In fact, peter yates wanted
to cut that and redo it.

My dad said, "no, no, no.
Let's keep it in. It's real."

And, look,
it's 50 years ago today,

And we're still
talking about it.

Now fast do you think
they were coming

When they came here
and made this?


An hour, easy.

[ Laughs ]

I'll be standing
on this side.

He come down 35, 40,
hit the brake, downshift,

Take the deal,
slam it, gone.

Uh-huh.

Chad: we don't want any of
that emergency brake slide.

Everything's got to be at speed.

We just got to try and stick
true to my dad's vision.

It's business time.

Quiet down.



[ Tires squeal ]

[ Engine revving ]

That mark hasn't been
on this street for 50 years.

-Whoo-hoo!
-[Bleep] "a."

We have probably two or three
more takes on that for sure.

-Hey, garza?
-Yes, sir?

That wheel hop
is how we broke the transmission

[Bleep] days ago.
If we continue to do that,

We risk losing the car
for the sh**t.

-Understood.
-I don't want to do that, then.

I wouldn't risk it again.

If you break it, I can't
get the parts to fix it.

Jason:
the car's doing great.

But hopping the wheels again
could break the transmission.

You want to risk
one more hop, right?

I told him,
he can be aggressive.

Just don't hop it.
Okay.

If you can get
a good burn back, fine,

But the hop is dangerous.okay.

Watch the corner!

I am a nervous wreck.

It's like watching your kid
perform in sports or something.

[ Tires squeal ]

Richard: it's crazy hard to hit
the mark in a skidding car,

But that's the accuracy needed
to re-create the shot for chad.

Okay, going again.

[ Tires squeal ]

-Don't back up.
-One more time. Action.

[ Tires squeal ]

I don't want to do this, 'cause
I know your dad didn't do this,

But we can always try --
we can get a rig so we can grab

The e-brake
and lock the e-brake.

No. No, no. Let's keep it
to my dad now.

My dad --
my dad would twist.

[ Laughter ]

And we'll go again.

[ Tires squeal ]

It just makes you appreciate
my dad's driving ability.

[ Laughter ]hell yeah!

Like I told you, that's why
I got into this damn business.

Going again.

[ Tires squeal ]

Go, baby, go!

Outstanding! Cut.

[ Cheering ]

Nice work, sir. Thank you.

And release.

[ Indistinct shouting ]

Safety meeting over here,
everybody! Safety meeting!

Richard: we made it to the final
day of our re-creation of

The chase scene in "bullitt,"

But this is the most
taxing day yet.

These are the biggest jumps.

The celluloid does not
do this justice.

It is [bleep] steep.

Richard: if the mustang
survives this abuse,

We'll have done our job.

I'm feeling the goose bumps.

It just makes me really respect
my grandfather a lot more

And makes me realize what
a badass he really was.

I think it's amazing,
and it just makes me think back

In the day, they didn't have
the technology we had,

And definitely
the car's built differently.

[ Engine revs ]

-You like it?
-I like it.

Richard:
it's been a brutal three days.

We survived so far,
but the last two shots

Will come like a 1-2 punch.

Man, I am really nervous
for this next shot.

Look at that steepness, dude.

Now, can you imagine hitting
that at, man, 50 miles an hour?

Chris: what we're doing right
now, this is kind of the finale.

Hopefully the cars will make it
through the whole thing,

And then we'll end it with
a big...all the way down.

Richard: this one's our most
challenging shot yet.

Man, I'm nervous, but I can't
let chad see me sweat.

It's gonna take
a big beating, you know?

Oh, yeah.
So, you guys did

A [bleep] awesome job, dude.we k*lled it, we k*lled it.

We got it all set up
just for this.

I mean, everything
we've been doing up to now's

Just been beauty shots.
This is what we call "testing."

-Action, action!
-Go, go, move! Move!

What was that?

Richard: the challenger went
flying in the air

And landed with a hard hit.

-Oh!
-Then the '68

Got tremendous air.

This is freaking me out.

We need to make sure this
mustang isn't bent to hell.

If it's busted, we won't be able
to finish the chase.

Dude, you were [bleep]
hanging in the air.

Yeah, a little bit.

And we're having
the issue...

Dropping a little bit?

Well, it's popping
out sharp.

Get jason here.

Jason!

It's a little sharp,
isn't it?

We're in
[bleep] trouble.

Yeah, yeah.
We need to cut it off.

You want to cut it off?

It's already starting
to cut into it.

Can we get a hammer?jason: we've got an issue with

Our quarters peeling from
the jumping and landing,

And it's starting to cut
the tire a little bit.

So we're gonna pull
the tire off real quick,

Take a hammer, and beat
the hell out of it.

[Bleep] we don't care
what it looks like.

We just need it to be safe,
make sure we don't cut a tire

Or blow a tire, 'cause
that could be catastrophic

At this point.

Let's get this thing done.

Last shots
of the day.

If there is going to be
trouble on this sh**t,

It is going to be
here right now.

Here we go!

Action, action!

Whoo!

Narrator: coming up
on "fast 'n' loud"...

The '68 mustang careens
to its biggest stunt.

Will richard ride off
into the sunset...

-Oh!
-...or be a box office bust?

We're doing
the initiation of the chase,

With ron ripping up the hill
in the charger,

Get a nice burnout going.

And then I'm gonna
kind of chase after him.

Then we're gonna go
launch this sucker.

We're gonna do
the cutaway to the burnout.

-And rolling.
-This is the most anticipation

I've ever had for a burnout.
-Action!

♪♪

-Whoo!
-[ Laughs ]

That's a wrap.

Richard: ron did a pretty wicked
burnout there,

Pretty good all, but, uh...

I'm pretty sure I can do better.

Wait a minute.

Rocky: action, action!

Richard: it's the final shot.

The mustang still has to survive

The infamous jumps
down taylor street.

Oh!

Oh!

Oh, [bleep]!

♪♪

[ Laughs ]

♪♪

[ Applause ]

Rocky: guys, give it up
for the cars!

[ Cheering ]

That was
pretty fun, man.

Well done.

Thank you, man.thank you, buddy.

It was awesome.
That is a wrap!

[ Cheers and applause ]

Richard:
only one thing left to do now.

Let's watch the world premiere
of gas monkey's

Chase scene from
the movie "bullitt."

-That was awesome.
-That was awesome.

You guys absolutely k*lled it.

Car couldn't have done better,

And we got this thing
airborne many times.

Why did they need
two cars back then?

I mean, come on, really?

We didn't build it.

You guys toast yourselves,
'cause y'all did it.

But break time's over.
Time to get back to work.

Well, we still got
popcorn to finish.

No, you don't.

-Oh!
-Man.

[ Laughs ]

Good job.

Are these teasers, right?

-Chris?
-Yeah?

Is it possible
to get some greenery?

Oh, like, foliage
for the front of the frame?

-Yeah.
-Grip department,

Grip department.

[ Engines revving ]

That's why I'm here.

Uh...

That was kind of like
"terminator 2," wasn't it?

Yeah, right?[ Laughter ]

Richard: oh, look at that.
We got freaking real-live props.

-Vietnam!
-Yes. Let's go with it.

That's beautiful.
That's perfect. Here.

Jason: my father has mentioned
to us that this is

Really special to him,
'cause, I mean,

He was 8 years old,
I want to say,

When he was here with his dad.

And now, to be able
to bring his kids here,

It's got to be
pretty special for him.

Uh, it's one of
the n.d. Picture's cars,

And then we have another car --
gray sedan.

They're gonna be holding a line,

And then the show's
coming up on 'em.

-Look at that.
-Yes.

-Whoa!
-That's pretty close, dude.

-Rolling!
-Hey, is that chad mcqueen?

[Bleep] no! [ Laughs ]
