Shorty and his crew transform cars into hot rods for deserving owners.
Shorty's is traditionally a Chevy shop, but this week, a Ford collector who's always dreamed of a Shorty paint job convinces them to take on his '71 Torino GT. But what looks like a pretty straight car is hiding a can of worms underneath. Shorty is doing full custom paint, with a hand-painted stripe instead of the stock decal, plus other details that would make Clint Eastwood smile.
We don't have an overview of this episode, please check back later.
After losing a grandson in a racetrack crash, Rick Wilson and his family want to raise money to promote safety at tracks around Texas; they enlist Shorty and the team to build a 1956 Corvette that will be auctioned off for their cause.
Shorty's right-hand man in the body shop, Joe Gomez, was first diagnosed with cancer in 2009, and against the odds, he's been in remission for nearly 10 years. He wants to create a widebody Honda Accord for his wife to show his appreciation for her support over the years. Plus, Shorty's personal '64 Impala build is finally coming to an end.
A big fan of the movie "Training Day" wants his '78 Monte Carlo to be built in the same vein. The G-body needs the works, including a swapped LS, beefed-up brakes and suspension and a new interior. Shorty's G10 parts runner van needs a facelift, and he enlists a teacher and his students for the job.
Shorty tries to match the Ember Glow hemi's original color, then works his magic in the paint booth. Joel tries to figure out how to install an aftermarket AC, PG works his magic on the interior. The crew is left with an enormous amount of trim.
Shorty's friend Monty wants to rebuild the car of his youth, an Amber Glow 1955 DeSoto. The car might be pink, but it has a hemi under the hood. Plus, a 2000 Chevy dually is a monster, but needs a new paint job, interior and air ride system.
Arturo is a good friend of the shop, and his classic Nova will be a monster, with a rebuilt supercharged 6.2 LS, plus upgrades to the chassis and brakes; the crew revives a classic 1924 LaFrance fire truck for the nearby Cedar Hill Fire Department.
Shorty's buddy Tommy has a '69 Camaro that needs some love, with damaged paint on the hood and malfunctioning headlight motors. Another friend, T-bone, stops by with his '65 Impala for an air ride, updated interior and repainted steering wheel. Then Shorty paints a 1940s pull wagon for the Goodguys Dallas show.
Shorty's friend Porkchop wants to turn a '69 Firebird convertible into a tribute Trans Am for his wife. The car has been in multiple shops, but the curse of the Chupacabra has kept him from getting it done. Shorty and his team try to break the curse with a new spoiler, motor mods with AC and fuel injection, custom interior and Shorty's custom-painted racing stripes.
