10x09 - I Hart Challengers

Post by bunniefuu »

Don't tease me.

Oh, now, hold on now.

-Hold on!
-[chuckles]

-[engine revving]
-I heard a rumble.

[Dave] We're customizing
a 1970 Challenger

for none other
than Kevin Hart.

Paint swift, paint fast.

I think it's the same thing.

Try and get this thing down
in the car, the best we can.

This is the ugliest motor
I've ever seen in my life.

I suck at this,
so I gotta go real slow.

Is it bitching?

[Shannon] Two minutes, bro,
Pringle scratched it.

-You gotta be [bleep] me!
-[laughs]

-This is what you bring me?
-[laughs]

[theme 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.

[tires screech]

A Bitchin' Ride
has intense color...

[customer] This is gorgeous!

[Dave] ...performance...

[customer 2] It's fantastic.

[Dave] ...stance,
wheels, sound.

[engine revs]

[Dave] There's one thing
that makes our car standout,

ours are Bitchin' Rides.

-[Pringle] That never
gets old.
-[Dave laughs]

This is Kevin Hart's car.

You heard Kev-Dog right.

We are customizing
a 1970 Challenger

for none other
than Kevin Hart.

We've modified and/or replaced

every panel
on this entire car.

We put in 1,000 horsepower
Dodge Hellephant.

Try and get this thing down
in the car, the best we can.

'Cause this intake
is a mile high,

which is rad,
like big engines,

but we're gonna have to do
a whole bunch of work

to keep this under the hood.

But who would have thought
it doesn't exactly fit
under the hood.

Visually, if you stand
back here

and look at it...

It's chopped.

[Pringle] It won't be able to
go around a corner properly.

So, now, we're just gonna
have to simply figure out...

[chuckling] ...what to do
with all of this engine.

Let me just, I'm just
brainstorming right now.

But what if we were to take
this reveal right here?

[Will] Yeah.

And have it only a crease,

comes around and goes around
that supercharger,

and we basically,
leave that through the hood.

Can we move that sensor
on the side though?

Oh, we can move this sensor.

-Or is this gonna be--
-You want to...

make a pocket and poke
the supercharger
through the hood?

So, I would think
bringing a rib up here.

Yeah, so, but leave all this.

This is the ugliest motor
I've ever seen in my life.

I think it should be
Caterpillar yellow.

No.

But not part of that.

What if we cover
the whole top of this

with our own cover,

make it look good,

leave it exposed,

and just do a window
through the top of the hood.

And let's bring those edges
up a little bit

and border around this,

so it looks like it was done
on purpose.

Mm, well...

I mean, that's...

I don't know.

But what in the world
would we do with this.

Right now, it looks like
an armadillo.

Regardless,

even if we did bring
the entire section of the hood

up over the top of it,

when we open the hood,

you're still looking
at that ugly thing.

At the end of the day,

really, we're gonna
have to mock it up

and take a look
at what we've got.

Nineteen.

[Dave] Front to back.

Max, go grab that other side.

So, we need to have it
stick out of the hood,

leave the hood,
main structure itself
the size of it is,

don't bring it all up.

And even at that point,

I'm almost concerned about
bringing this section up, too.

Then, let's just cut the hole
and see what it would
take to...

give it a little perimeter

and do a really cool cover.

It needs to look modern
and muscle-y.

Yeah.

[heavy guitar music playing]

[Dave] One of the big things

is we can't go any lower
with the engine
in the chassis,

so we got to figure out
where it's going to stand
out of the hood,

how it's going to look,

and can we make it
look awesome?

These are all the questions
we're going to have to answer.

We want to give an opening
that has a reveal on its head,

so what we're gonna do
is we're gonna make a dye,

we're going to press it
into another piece
of sheet metal.

Not only is that stylish,
both inside and out
of the hood,

but also adds
a lot of strength.

Once we attach
the bottom skin,

we're just gonna have
to simply clean up the top.

[upbeat music playing]

And after all that,

this is what you get.

This part of the car
looks awesome.

The hood
is gonna be spectacular,

especially when
it's all together.

But we're not
all together yet.

Now, it's time to go ahead
and address

the rest of the jewelry box
as I call it,

and that's gonna be
the inner side of the fenders.

All right.

Yeah, so, check it out.

So, I got a little piece
shaped up,

this is kind of what
Will had in mind,

kind of an egg shape
going on here.

Again, looking at it
a little bit,

it's not really matching
the rest of the car too well,

but I bent up this real quick,

just something to look at

-somewhere there.
-Mm-hmm.

[Eric] But just a little bit
more of a break on it,

you know, rather than
a constant radius.

[Dave] Well, if you look at,
like, the top of the firewall

on stuff that
has a common shape,

there's a lot of that,
you know, reverse curves
and so forth.

But I think we need to do
something other than
this round.

This looks just a little
too organic for the car.

I think with this it's gonna
lend itself to kind of what
we were talking about before,

is being able to put
kind of a nice bead roll
or some kind of design.

And if we have this big shape,
not that it can't be done.

But I think you've kind of
sectioned yourself off.

You could go up here,

you could go
in the middle here,

-Right.
-[Kevin] Then you just
kind of have a section.

And I would love
to just bead roll in,
you know, something

to make it kind of pop.

-[Kevin] You have a marker?
-I do.

[whimsical music playing]

Is there a chance, maybe,
you could, like,

bead roll something
maybe like this?

I've always known better than
to hand a marker off to Kevin.

And of course,
when Kevin gets it,

the high jinks will ensue.

We should just make
a stamp if that's gonna be
a signature thing going

in a lot of these cars,
you know, stamp it.

Maybe, we could do, like,
one of these, one of these
and then one of these.

-Can I have my marker back?
-[Kevin] Wow!

-[laughs]
-[Kevin] Just trying
to be artistic.

-Yeah, I think I know
what you're saying--
-You are, actually.

-[laughs]
-[Eric] How about I make
a little piece,

we'll put a bead roll in it

to see if you like it

and get you back over here.

[Dave] That was what
I was just thinking.

-[Kevin] I would say,
just let it flow.
-[Eric] Cool.

We don't want a flat panel,
we want some with just
a little bit of crown to it.

It makes it look a little more
expensive, I think.

Just a little gentle
pillow to it.

I suck at this,
so I gotta go real slow.

Slow enough for you.

[exclaims] Oof!

Not the best little bead roll,

but it will get
the point across.

Let's see if Dave likes it,
we'll go from there.

[Dave] Having the break
and the reveal in it,

just really kind of tells you
better with the cars.

[Eric] Ties in
some lines there.

I guess, my only last question
if we're down with a shape
would be

what I want these
bead rolls to look like

and how many...

You got any idea on that?

You know, sometimes
when you're artists,

I think everybody assumes

you're just gonna come up
with fantastic ideas.

every time you pick up a pen.

And sometimes it takes
a little bit of thought,

and a little bit of stalling.

Um...

So, I really do like
having something in here,

so it kind of
breaks it all up.

What do you think?

What do you think we should...

I mean, it seems like
everybody always does, like,

a square, you know,

and then another square.

Even when I have to stall,

I already know a good idea
is gonna come.

See, watch.

But what if we were
to just go straight out,

and maybe we just
can't do an angle.

[Eric] Okay.

More like some of the graphics
what if we kicked it
back this way,

this way and then it gets
longer on the last one.

As it gets skinnier,
it gets longer.

-I'll be down with that.
-Kind of cool.

I think the bead role
inside these engine panels

is gonna look really good,

kind of mimicking a graphic
that might have been
on a '70s Challenger.

[Eric] I'm just gonna
get this drawn out.

This panel is just
pretty much junk,

but I'm gonna draw
these lines on there

just to look at and see
if we really are into the idea

of having it taper out

or if you'd rather
just have it square
all the way back.

[Kevin] I don't love
how this is looking.

I don't really think
Eric's digging it either.

I have some ideas,
but I think we should
bring Dave in,

and just make sure
we're all on the same page.

That's parallel to this

or would rather
go parallel to this guy.

I don't know,
I'm trying to figure out.

[Dave] This is parallel
with the slant
of the fender line.

Yeah, I mean it looks
very Mopar-esque.

Are you in love with it?

I'm just doing
that's certain my eyes...

Just like when I see
this square

cut out for the hinge,
and then that thing
tapering away from it.

Maybe, the taper
wouldn't look so bad.

If we kept this part parallel,
you know,

this is what I'm thinking.

I'm gonna draw it up again.

Back to the drawing board.

[Dave] We're down here
at the shop

working on Kevin Hart's


We know we're gonna put
a design and bead roll
in the inner fenders.

We're just trying
to figure out exactly
what it's gonna look like.

I drew something up
for Eric to do,

but as I'm looking at it,

I kind of feel like
it's not quite there yet.

[Eric] Maybe, the taper
wouldn't look so bad

if we kept this part parallel,
you know,

this is what
I'm thinking. [laughs]

I'm gonna draw it again,

back to the drawing board.

[Dave] It's one thing
to draw it on paper,

but it's really more important
to make sure it's gonna
look good

on the part before
you actually do it.

Having this bead roll taper

and kind of play along

with all of the other
body lines inside
the engine bay

really works out quite well.

The trick here though
is gonna be to turn
this design

into a reality.

[Eric] I'm not gonna be
able to fit it all through
the bead roller

in one run,

so I think I'm gonna
have to build it
in two sections here.

We'll roll it first
and start there.

So, I gotta see where
I got to part this thing
in half here.

I'm just gonna pre stretch
these panels out.

There into the bead roll.

[upbeat music playing]

All right, looks good.

Let's send it through
the bead roller.

I will clean up
and I'll weld it
back together.

All right,
see if I can weld today
since I can't bead roll.

[upbeat music playing]

It's not looking
too bad so far.

I still gotta put
my radius brakes
on these lines here.



[Kevin] When you're welding
two pieces together,

the key is the gap.

You need to have that gap
as tight as possible,

so you don't have
a lot of movement,

so you can hammer
this stuff out

and smooth it out with the DA

and look like you never
even cut it.

[Eric] I got to cut
an initial opening here
that's gonna be really tight.

And I'll start
sneaking up on it

as I can kind of configure
this thing in a little bit.

Let's see if we're even close.

Pray for me.

So, we're a little small,
we knew that.

This thing has a massive motor

and a lot of different things
going on.

I think they're good,
but I want Dave's
final stamp of approval.

-What's up, Dave?
-Hey!

So, a couple little things
going on.

Good?

I don't know, not bad.

[Dave] I don't think
it looks bad.

Just because we transferred
everything off of that
one piece,

and then it wasn't
this exact shape

-and distances and everything.
-[Dave] Mm-hmm.

To get this to land
parallel here
and parallel here

and keep this distance,

this panel is kind of
starting out a little steeper

and rolling out this way,
you see it.

[Dave] Oh, yeah.

So I'm fighting that
a little bit right now.

I'm not too far
into this that...

it's not going to hurt
my feelings [bleep]

Do you think the other side
is the exact same?

I can make the other side
the exact same.

So, it has that
little bit of roll,
I don't think it's terrible.

I think it's fine.

-It doesn't look bad.
-It's not bad.

[Eric] You just like it,
I like it.

I like it a lot.

-[Eric] Right on.
-Good, cool, thanks.

We're good.

Maybe I'll catch
the other side up,

before I forget what I did.

[enthralling instrumental
music playing]

[Dave] You know,
not only is it difficult
to build the first side,

but it's very difficult
to mimic and mirror
the other side.

Eric absolutely
k*lled this project.

And when I come back,

I got an even
bigger project for him.

[blues music playing]

[Kevin] We've got Kevin Hart's


and engine bay
looking smoking hot.

Now, we're gonna try something
that we've never done before.

[Dave and Eric exclaim]

-What do you think?
-I'm getting chills, buddy.

So, let's talk about the shape
of the front end

sort of want to make sure
that we do.

This comes off
the front of this,

we go through the trim,

and this goes straight down.

-We have a little bit
of kick, right?
-[Eric] Huh-huh.

And then, we want to kind of
almost bend that back out,

so it's a little bit
more vert.

And bring it down,
and then, let's just get
this reveal line right here.

We have the hood line.

the bumper sits
real tight in here.

I was kind of seeing
just how naturally it goes.

I might have to,
like kind of s-turn into like,

-so it's not going to come
straight off of this.
-No.

You know, I like that.

-Kind of like this
kind of a thing.
-[Eric] Yeah.

Give it a little bit
of styling.

We're gonna flare that out,

so that we have more muscle
at the front of the car

-or more of a stronger chin.
-Sure.

-Come grab you
when I get a little progress.
-k*lling it.

All right, sounds good.

We'll go from there.

[Dave] Okay, thanks, buddy.

-Right on.
-[Dave] You're rocking.

-Yeah, can't wait
until this thing is done.
-It's gonna be cool.

[Dave] One thing as a designer
that would really bug
the hell out of me

is to have the chin spoiler
hanging lower than
the rockers.

We got to ensure that
we have a nice straight line

if not just a little bit
higher on the chin.

This is still gonna
look aggressive,

but we don't wanna drag it,

and we certainly
don't want it hanging down.

I'm looking at that
back piece of wire,

it's not all the way out.

Yeah, it needs to be
pulled out at the top.

About right there.

Good.

Looks pretty.

[Eric] This wood here

is gonna give me somewhere
for my bottom plans to land,

and that way I'll know
I'm all nice and flat

and I cut the shape into it
that I want.

So, it's just gonna give me
a nice little template

of where I need
my metal to land.

[upbeat music playing]

You know,
we build a lot of custom
lower chin spoilers

and faces and so forth.

The outside of this is really
not gonna be the hard part
of this part of the build.

The center... [laughs]

It's gonna be very difficult.

The design idea here

is to take the original
design element

of the step grill opening
in the lower

to make it match.

[Eric] I'm just cutting
these circles out,

it's just easier
to cut this thing after.

That way I can just cut
straight into these holes

and they will all fall out
all out at once.

It's hard to cut
around corners

with any accuracy, I guess.

[upbeat music playing]

Let's see if Dave likes it.

I like it.

You know, I'm gonna
have to really put a nice

Christmas card together
for Eric

because I'm really putting him
through the wringer here.

I'm not only giving him
a very difficult design
with the step design,

but also going around radiuses

and long arches.

Got more than enough
room there, yeah.

Yeah, this will be k*ller.

Go the same angle,
I think you got plenty
of approach there.

Keep it nice
and deep in there.

Yeah, go nice and deep,

that way we're not looking
at the edge of this.

It'd be cool to match that.

I don't know if I'm
good enough to do that, but...

This is gonna be
a very difficult piece
for him to build.

And I can't wait to see
if he can actually
pull it off.

[Eric] I'm going to see
if I can get wrapped around
the corners.

That will be
one, two, three, four,

maybe up to six pieces,

the less the better.

But it gets kind of crazy

when you're trying to shove
this big six foot piece
through the bead roller,

so I'm just gonna
lay it out perfect

and go for a first try

and see what happens.

[upbeat music playing]

I put a light brake on these,

so I can find my center,

then we'll put a little
radius in there,

and then we will start
to bead rolled.

Let's go for it.

[upbeat music playing]

I made sure to put
some shape in it,

and hopefully, I don't lose
a bunch of definition.

We'll see what happens here.

I'm ready to weld this guy in.

I'm just getting
all nervous already.

[metal clanking]

I allotted Eric plenty of time
to get going on this project.

And actually, I'm gonna
go down and check out
and see how he's doing.

How goes it there, Eazy E?

-Ooh!
-[Eric] Hey, what's up, Dave?

-Check it out.
-You pulled it off.

Mister Hart is gonna love that

because it ties in
this element right here.

[Eric] Yeah, sure.

You're probably going
to hate me for saying this.

But we've all been
scratching our heads,

how to make this look good
around the stock grill.

And the opening and the fact
that we're missing

all of that same design
across the top.

What if we were to take
this design element

that you've already
recreated from that

and recreate this one,
so it matches that one.

Maybe, we even look
at the headlight doors,
maybe just redo those.

[Eric] Yeah.

And everything else is custom,

so we may as well
keep going with it.

[Dave] You know,
when the custom piece

looks better
that the original,

we might be
on to something here.

Keep up the great work,
it's looks great.

-Thanks.
-Okay, thank you.

He liked it.

[music playing]

[Dave] After building
the centerpiece
that's coming out so nice,

I started looking
at the headlight doors.

It has fastener holes.

It's a little sloppy
around the headlights.

Why not finish building
the entire thing
out of one piece.

That sounds easy enough,
doesn't it?

After going back and forth
just a little bit

to make sure
it's gonna be perfect...

Well, look what we got.

[thrilling instrumental
music playing]

[Dave] Once again just like
everything Eric has done
on this car,

he's nailed it.

And just like that

we're done
with the fabrication.

Now, it's off
to the body shop.

[upbeat music playing]

Mr. Hart's car is now
in the body shop

and the body shop guys
are jumping right in.

[exhilarating instrumental
music playing]

Custom block.

It's perfect for this.

[laughs]

[Kevin] All right, Kenny.

We got the Challenger.

The bodywork is perfect.

We need to get
on the rotisserie,

so that means,
all the rest of the parts
need to come off,

engine needs to come out,

suspension needs to come off.

We should have this thing
knocked out in no time.

I don't see any reason why
we can't make short work
of this.

[chuckles]

[rock music playing]

That's perfect.

Now that the car is perfectly
balanced on the rotisserie,

it's time to go
in the paint booth
and get some paint on it.

Before, we had developed
a beautiful super deep dark
black called, black on black.

Now, this was actually
really beautiful.

We started playing around
with a little bit more toners,

and actually found
just a little bit more
of a black color.

This black color
is so amazing,

it's super deep

and it is black ice.

It's slippery,
if you know what I mean.

[Chris] It is black.

That is very, very black.

You can get lost in it.

It looks like a mirror
when you try to take
a picture of it.

It's pretty crazy.

The black on black had this
little purple tinge to it

where this is black.

Black ice.

It's a very beautiful black.

Everybody thinks
black is black,

white is white,

it's not even close.

And this is black. [laughs]

I'd say at this point,
we're getting pretty good
with black.

But it's not really
any harder.

My job is kind of easy.

I just gotta make it
clean and smooth.

As long as I can make
the paint job with no dirt.

That way we don't have
any problems when they cut
and polish it.

Paint swift, paint fast.

I think it's the same thing.
[laughs]

So, "Float like
a bumblebee..."

"Float like a butterfly,
sting like a bee."

-Yeah, there we go.
-[Chris chuckles]

There's two halves
of the kitchen,

don't throw stones
in glass houses.

[both laugh]

We do a sealer,

then we do a base coat,

we make sure it's perfect.

[song playing]

Then we go back in
and we'll put six coats
of heavy solids glare on,

and then off to the polisher.

[soft acoustic music playing]

[Brian] I need
more Diet Pepsi.

Please send me
more Diet Pepsi.

Diet Pepsi, I was wrong.

Send him Dr Pepper.

So, what we're gonna do

we move that car
over to assembly.

Feel good to get
another one out of here?

It does, phenomenal.

Put it over there,

finish up on the parts,

you put it back together.

Yeah, awesome day.

[exclaims]

Only 45 days late!

[all laughing]

Thanks to you,
we don't have room for it

since 45 days ago.

That's not true.

-That's why we--
-[Kevin] We have it
here today.

Yes, so that's why
we're in today.

-I had everyone 45 days ago.
-[bleep]

You guys, we're gonna
pull out, thank you.

[Pringle] Thank you,
everybody.

So, we need to go ahead
and get this off the lift

or off the rotisserie.

We can move the car
over carefully,

but then again if you drop it
that's thousands of dollars
of touch up,

so keep that in mind.

Are these little boxes
variation pretty solid?

Fits good.

You know, there's something
very satisfying and nice

about having a perfectly
polished car

out in the assembly side.

There's just something
special about it.

[machine whirring]

[bleep]

[Pringle] Good?

[bleep] Damn it!

[Dave] I'm without words.

I really don't know
what to say.

That's a record, bro.

One of the biggest rules
we've put into place

is to make sure
that in your job,

you do not create other work
for other people

to go backwards or sideways.

[man] Did you just get
a text from Pringle?

I did.

[Kevin] Two minutes, bro,
Pringle scratched it.

[laughs]

I don't know if I'm angry
or mad at the moment.

-[Shannon] I told you.
-[Brian] What?

They already scratched
the Challenger.

-No, they didn't.
-[Shannon] Yes, they did.

No, they didn't.

-No.
-[Shannon] Yeah.

What do you mean, where, how?

I don't know, ask him.

What happened?

[cameraman] Uh, slipped
and went into the frame.

[Brandon] They will keep
messing everything up,

until they come over and do
all the touch ups at once.

When you call 911

'cause somebody's
having a heart attack,

and you're just like,
wait for them to show up,

and then they show up,

and they've got their gear,

and they're just walking
to the scene.

Everybody's like,
"Hurry the [bleep] up."

You know why they don't rush?

So, they don't make mistakes.

[man] You know, Pringle,
we're only giving you [bleep]

-because you give [bleep]
-All right.

I'll take it.

That being said,
I understand sometimes, too,

that accidents do happen.

No use crying about it.

Let's just get it fixed
and get back to production.

[upbeat music playing]

[Pringle] We got
the suspension in there.

We're gonna bring it down.

And then, we can work
on getting the engine in
and everything else

and the windows

and the rest of the car
can be worked on.

And we can get it going.

This isn't
the first time around
the tail light rodeo, pal.

We've done something
kind of like this before,

but this is unique.

[Pringle] Right now,
we're working
on the taillight section.

I got a perimeter light
for the park light,

and then inside here,

maybe the brake light section

and the blinkers.

And then,
this will be the other side.

Then we'll have
the red lens under it

and this will be over the top.

So, right now,
I'm just laying out the LEDs.

You can only cut so much off.

They work in sections,

so you can't shorten it
any more than between
these sections

or else this whole thing
will be dead.

So, that's the fun part.

Each of these lines here

is representative
of this row here.

That way
there are no dark spots.

[Dave] Currently,
Pringle is putting together
all of the LEDs

behind this lens
for the taillight.

This looks so simple,
I don't know why they
didn't just ask me to do it.

Originally, the Challenger
does have some kind of
a detail

that goes from left to right
of the car on the back

and it's all open and it looks
really, really cool.

I wanted to do something
that was a simplified version,

but also tied in
the custom grill work

that we did in the front.

I wanted to tie that
into the taillight panel.

[Tim] I'm hot gluing these

due to...

I don't want these screws
to come out.

I don't want that we're going
down the road

and this back panel
falls apart.

These are hot glue g*ns,
always reminds me

of being with my grandma
when I was younger.

She did dolls and they were
like super creepy

because they were realistic.

But her teaching me how to sew

and use this hot glue g*n
and paint and stuff like that,

give me a lot
of detail oriented stuff

that's good for our job here.

Thanks, Grandma.

[Dave] Got the wires
connected on this taillight.

We got the glue
all cleaned up,

and now it's ready to install.

[Tim] Here's the wire.

[Pringle] All right,
let's put this thing in.

Time to plug it in
and test it.

Powered up.

Start off with Park.

Nice!

That looks good.

Hey, give me a break.

Nice, I like it!

-Disco!
-I know.

[all exclaiming, laughing]

[Pringle] It's a win!

This tail light
is seriously bitchin'.

While the team is still
completing the assembly,

we're gonna go ahead
and shift the gear down one

and go to upholstery.

And this design
is gonna be truly bitchin'.

I'll tell you exactly
what's not going on
in this interior

and that is any stock panels.

None of it.

The color of this interior
is gonna be chilly leather.

This is a beautiful
deep burgundy red

and it's gonna really offset

with a little bit of charcoal
gray matte finished
painted sections,

as well as the black
Chilewich inserts

over the speaker grill

and the door panels.

But it's gonna take
some serious equipment.

We're gonna use the 3D scanner
like nobody's business

and figure out every little
nook and cranny

inside the original interior,

so we can 3D print
all of the additional parts.

[upbeat music playing]

[Greg] We're doing the top
part of the doors.

It's gonna flow from the dash.

Everything is really
organic shape.

There's no flat surfaces
on anything.

So, it will look awesome,

but it just makes it
really, really tricky

when you're designing it.

This interior is gonna be
unlike anything we've done.

Greg has used
the Faro 3D scanner

to go through
for the entire dash

and down the door panels
as well as the rear quarters.

So, that we can
start designing
all of the components

that are either CNC
or 3D print.

We're doing a couple
of designs today.

One for the back seats section

as well as for the doors.

This foam
is extremely expensive,

so what we wanna ensure

is that the table is not only
sucking it down into place,

we're gonna also put
a little bit of tape

just to ensure
it doesn't bump.

The slightest fraction
of movement, we gotta
start all over.

The CAMaster router table
actually has two vacuums.

One that actually holds
the parts down to the table,

as well as the other vacuum

which vacuums out the debris

that is cutting off
of the parts.

Before we even turn
this machine on,

we actually have to orient
the X and Y coordinates

in the machine
and on the computer

to make sure everything
lines up properly.

From there, it's simple.

The machine reads the G-code
and we're off to the races.

[instrumental music playing]

[Tim] All right, that's it.

[Dave] With the CAMaster,
we can actually build parts

in a fraction
of the amount of time

that we would
have done it in person

or by hand,

and they're gonna be flawless.

A little bit of finesse,
a little bit of sanding,

and we're ready to test fit.

-[Tim] Let's see her
-[Pringle] Right there.

Test fit done, I'm good.

Let's start
wrapping this stuff.

[upbeat music playing]

[Dave] The leather wrap
looks beautiful on the parts

that we used
the CNC router table for.

And with that being said,

I actually need to get
with Justin real quick

and talk to him about these
inserts for the door panels

which are gonna be
a little tricky.

The way I'm gonna
go about this

is I'm gonna
glue this in steps.

-[Dave] Okay.
-[Justin] I'm gonna glue
this guy to this one.

So, the insert on these
door panels

got a lot of pieces
that gotta go together.

It's gonna be
a pain in the butt,
but I'm gonna get through it.

That's the dead panels.

-This is our lit panel.
-This is the lit panel.

I'm gonna glue this guy
on top of this guy together.

-[Dave] Awesome.
-[Kevin] Love it.

Then, I'm gonna
run the lighting...

[Dave and Kevin] Okay.

[Justin] ...to go out
the front here.

[Dave] In this design,
I'm gonna complicate
the hell out of it

by adding some
ambient lighting.

And then,
I'm gonna flip this around.

I'm gonna put this guy
in like this.

Like so.

-[Dave] Okay.
-[Justin] Because
it's got to be set

-because this kind of--
-[Kevin] It's kind of flimsy.

-It's a little flimsy
until it's all put together.
-Until we put it on the panel.

-Yeah.
-And then...

I'll come in like this,
and then we'll sort this out.

I don't know how I'm gonna
center it yet,

that's gonna be
the tricky part.

But these will all be set up,

-so the steps are correct.
-[Dave] Mm-hmm.

[Justin] Oh, dude.

Oh, that looks so cool.

With the ambient lighting
going down on this texture

and this color against this
with the black around it...

Oh, yeah,
it's gonna be badass.

-Looks great.
-[Kevin] That's so cool.

-Sick!
-So cool.

I love those colors together.

I'm so glad we did
some of this color
into the interior.

That was my idea

-and I'm just glad
it's like that.
-[Dave laughs]

-Yeah, you're a hell
of a designer.
-[Kevin laughs]

[Dave] I really like
how you drew it up.

I'm going to use a glue
with an accelerator

and see how it holds.

And I'm gonna
mask it off real quick,

so we don't have any problems.

They bond a lot
of these panels

out of this material,
this fiberboard.

It will go pretty quick.

I just want
to set it before I use
the accelerator on it.

Just the key thing is just
get it set in the right place.

Only got one shot.

So, to set this last piece
in straight,

I think the best way
to do this

is put this whole
door panel together,

and then set that piece.

The first two pieces
went together real easy.

This last piece, I'm not sure
how this is gonna work out.

I'm gonna tape it
all into place,

just so we're not guessing.

We glue this and it don't fit,

there's no turning back.

I'll have to start over.

I don't, obviously,
want to get the glue
on the leather.

This is the last piece
I got to attach
to this insert,

but it's definitely
the most flimsy.

I don't have a lot
of work time with this glue,

so it's very important for me
to get it in straight
the first time.

Damn it.

I took too [bleep] long.

Great, this is exactly
what I didn't want to happen.

This top piece is bowed

and the glue has hardened.

[bleep]

The only way to fix this
is to pop that glue,

re-straighten it and hope
I don't break it

and re-glue it.

Straight, grab me
a straight edge.

Just gonna glue up from here
and see how it looks.

I think it will be all right.

I think I got lucky.

That wasn't the easiest insert
I've ever done,

but we got through it.

I got one last piece
to take care of,

and now these inserts
will be ready to install.

I'm just gonna tape it
into place for now.

[Dave] You know,
I don't wanna sound surprised,

but Justin pulled this off,
like he always does.

But man, seeing it
all finished up and in place,

I can't be any happier.

With only a few small details
left to wrap up,

this car is looking
absolutely amazing

and I cannot wait
for Kevin Hart
to take a look at it.

[upbeat music playing]

This is called sewing.

♪ And this is all you
Want to know sort of ♪

♪ Where the thrill ♪

♪ I'm looking
For it everyday ♪

We're here to visit
my very good friend,
Kevin Hart

and give him back
his 1970 Challenger.

All right, well you know
I'm excited, man.

You sent me some photos.

Great photos,

but I have not seen
the car in person.

-It is a huge deal to see
the car in person,
-Yes.

rather than just pictures

because, you know,
pictures are only worth
thousand words.

True.

The actual car might be
worth a couple thousand more.

-Well, don't tease me.
-[laughs]

Don't tease me.

-[engine roaring]
-Oh, now, hold on now.

-Hold on now.
-[laughs]

I heard a rumble!

-[engine revving]
-Oh, yeah!

Oh, that's talking!

It's talking to me,
I'm excited.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God!

[Dave exclaims] Woo!

I heard a rumble!

-[engine revving]
-Oh, yeah!

Oh, that's talking!

We're here to visit
my very good friend,
Kevin Hart

and give him back
his 1970 Challenger.

-Oh, my God.
-[Dave laughs]

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God!

Oh!

[distorted guitar rings]

Dave, ooh!

[Hart exclaims] Ooh!

-[Dave laughs]
-Oh, God!

-[Dave] Well--
-Give me a second.

-[Dave laughs]
-Give me a second.

[Kevin] I hope you like it,
we worked real hard on it.

[Hart] "Like"
is an understatement.

Good to see you, man.

I'm still looking
at a '70 Challenger, right?

With the mods,
I think, they're very smart.

You did a very smart job

of modifying this build.

I mean, dude, I'm looking
at the a*s of this car,
it's insane.

[all laughing]

-Let me show you
what we did back here, Kevin.
-Please, please, please!

[Dave] So,
starting at the back,

we wanted to keep
the theme of the car.

Take a look,
that's not a honeycomb,

that's a pentagon.

-Those are all Dodge emblems.
- [Hart] Wow.

Bumpers are all pulled in,
smoothed off.

[Dave] Take a look at these
wheels really quick.

I wanted to kind of keep
with that theme of five sided,
like the pentagon.

All in the details,
I mean, come on.

-I love the subtlety,
it's all in the details!
-[laughs]

Holy [bleep]

When you sent me the pictures,

I was asking myself,
I was like,

"Man, that looks
low, low low."

I'm wondering like,
what's my drive ability
at that level.

You're actually about
an inch higher than
a brand new Corvette.

[Kevin] Basically, it changes
the whole attitude

of a 1970 Dodge Challenger
with this stance.

You know, in my culture,
we call this being in the mud.

-Right.
-[all laughing]

-[Dave] Can you give me tip
on what that exactly means?
-In the Urban Dictionary,

you got a car to sit in
significantly low,

but done well,

it means you're in the mud.

That car is down,
but it's down right.

And the way I'm tucked
in the back,

the beauty of the front.

I have no notes,
I have no rebuttal.

I have no but...

Hey, I don't know about this.

God, this has done so well.

It's a great looking car,
all right?

[laughing] It's
a phenomenal build.

We tried to keep
everything flush,

like you can see
all the windows
are flush mounted.

So, you got rid of all that
kind of old clinkity trend

that these cars used to have.

Check out your gas cap.

[Hart] Come on, man.

[Dave] So this is actually
one of my gas caps,

but it looks like
the original.

You just push in, turn it,

-it pops out and you just
unscrew this whole thing.
-[Hart] Come on!

-[Dave] Here you go, baby.
-Come on!

-[all laughing]
-All in the damn details.

Not the two finger push
with the twist.

-[all laughing]
-[Hart] It's all about
the lines,

the color,
his choice of color,

the black ice,

that's one of his own.

It's exactly what
it's supposed to be.

The car looks like a mirror.

Black is the way to go!

Black, black, black!

What color do we want?

[all] Black!

[Hart] This is phenomenal!

Guys, I cannot not address
this heller for sticking out
the damn hood.

[all laughing]

Let me show you something
that's gonna blow your mind.

Man, wow!

I'mma double down
on that "Wow."

I'm gonna give you two wows.

-This is insane.
-Thank you.

-[laughs] Is it is a boat.
-[Dave] No!

-Do I have a boat?
-[all laughing]

[exhilarating instrumental
music playing]

Is this is a boat
in there? God!

Look how it's tucked in there.

Inside the jewelry box,

we are hiding a Hellephant
from Dodge.

This puts out 1,000 horsepower

and 1000 foot pounds
of torque,

and it is 100 percent
kick a*s.

[Hart] I love it,
I love the Bane logo.

The arch enemy, of course,
of Batman.

[Hart] This one I said
I wanted it to be angry.

I wanted to be intense.

I wanted it
to sound aggressive.

And the first thing
that came to mind was Bane.

Everybody listened
and everybody watching

because they had to.

They had the choice.

Everybody will watch this car,

everybody will listen
to the sound on this engine,

not because they want to
but because they won't
have a choice.

[Dave and Kevin] Yeah.

[Hart] It demands
the level of respect
that it will be given.

[Dave] I gotta sit you
in this car.

-Yeah, I gotta sit in it.
-I'm so excited for you
to get in this car.

I gotta sit in it!

[Dave] Chilly red leather
done by JS.

Justin and his guys
really had a great time
in here.

[Hart] I love how
the door panel
lights up as well.

Indoor lighting
with sub box as well.

[Kevin] We did it
in the door panels

and we also did it
in the back.

So, when it opens,
it kinda gives you
that dome light,

without really interrupting
the one piece headlighter
that Justin did.

[Dave] Yep.

And you can, of course,
turn that off.

So, if you don't want it
to light up your whole garage,

-you can turn that off--
-Why?

Why would you never want that?

It will stay on
when you're driving at night.

Yeah, I don't understand,
why would you not want that
to light up?

-It's the cool factor, right?
-Yes.

Oh... Oh! [chuckles]

So, this is a BMW seat.

It not only goes forward,
it also goes up and down.

Oh, come on, man.

Come on, man.

-And it's the tail wheels.
-Come on, man!

Let me go back a little bit.

-I ain't that small.
-[all laughing]

What are you talking about,
I ain't that little.

Sitting in the car,
I think they did a great job

of making the car fit
and mold to me.

Look at this dash!

All of it is, custom.

sh**t!

[Dave] Gauges
from Dakota Digital.

[Hart] This is very,
very nice, man.

But the magic really
is in the sound of the car.

Oh, man, don't threaten me
with a good time.

[engine starts]

You had a little bit of wine.

[kisses]

Wow.

Dave, I'm...

[chuckles]

What do you want from me?

This is why I came to you.

I will say this...

I said that I did not want
to have a collection

without the best of the best

that had their hands
on the vehicles,

that I decided
to put in my garage.

And the embedding of you

and your world of knowledge
in your world of work

was a decision
that I would not regret.

Like, this is very much
worth the money, man.

-Thank you.
-Very much worth
the time, the wait.

It's all worth it in the end.

More importantly,
this is my reward.

All these are attached
to amazing things,
like career moments.

And this one here,
this is special, man.

He looked at the car
and right out the gate,

I knew that he loved it.

Job well done, man.

-Thank you very much.
-Job well done.

-We'll appreciate that.
-Wow!

Oh, car is insane.

Car is everything
that I thought it would be,
plus more.

I love the fact that

that car has the mods
of new, of today

while still once again being
true to the days of old.

It's premium.

It's a premium view
to a premium build.

This could have went
either way.

I could have
saw it and be like,
"You gotta be [bleep] me!"

[all laughing]

-"This is what you bring me?"
-[all laughing]

But instead it's not
what I'm doing.

Instead I'm bowing down.

-I'm taking the moment...
-Oh, thank you.

-...to bow down.
-Thank you very much.

I'm bowing down to what
you guys do, man, like truly.

Well, with Bane being
the name of the car,

I only can think of a nickname
that's fitting

and that is Bitchin'.

You know what, I'll take it.
"Bitchin' Bane."

-Bitchin' Bane.
-Bitchin' Bane.

Bane be bitchin'.

-[all laughing]
-[Hart] Yeah, that's it.

That's what I'm doing,
I'm running with it.

-I'm running with it.
-[all laughing]

-Oh, man.
-Thank you,
I appreciate you guys.

Nothing but love, man.

-Thank you.
-This was amazing.

Overall, this is gonna be
one of the cars he puts up

in the very front
of his collection

because it is just that.

It is over the top,

it's clean, it's classy,

but yet its custom.

-Bitchin' Bane!
-[all laughing]

[Hart] Bane be bitchin'!

Overall, I love the car.

It is a Bitchin' version
of what Bane should be.

I will put it in my garage,

take a cup of coffee
and go look at it on Sundays.

That's what I'm gonna do.

[engine accelerating]
