Pro Street Dodge Floor Prep & Wiring

(ANNOUNCER)>> TODAY ON MUSCLE CAR, THE TRAIN KEEPS ROLLING ON OUR PRO STREET DODGE. BUSINESS TIME GETS THE FLOOR PAN TREATMENT AS WELL AS SOME WIRING TIPS AND A SOLDERING SEMINAR.

THEN JAMIE JORDAN SWINGS BY TO ROLL OUT SOME INTERIOR PANELS AND WE VISIT A FORD FEST THAT'S THE BEST KEPT SECRET IN OKLAHOMA.

(TOMMY)>> WHEN WE FIRST MET OUR '74 DODGE DART SPORT, WE KNEW THAT THIS CAR LIKED TO RAISE CAIN, SO TO SPEAK. SHE WAS A RUNNING, DRIVING HEAD TURNER WITH BIG GRAPHICS AND SHE MADE BIG NOISE. THE BODY WAS IN DECENT SHAPE AND IT HAD AN AGGRESSIVE LOOK, BUT OUR PLANS ARE GOING TO TAKE ALL THOSE THINGS AND PUSH THEM TO THE ABSOLUTE LIMIT. SO WE TRAILERED IT HOME AND THEN WE GUTTED IT. WITH A CLEAN SLATE WE WENT TO WORK UPGRADING THE FRONT KMEMBER AND SUSPENSION. WE CUT OUT THE FLOOR AND PLUGGED IN A BACK HALF KIT ALONG WITH A BURLEY REAR END. THEN WE GOT AFTER IT WITH A ROLL CAGE, AND WE TUBBED EVERYTHING FROM THE FRONT SEAT TO THE BACK TO MAKE ROOM FOR SOME GIGANTIC STREET SLICKS, ALL IN PREPARATION FOR A NEW SCHOOL 426 HEMI. YOU'RE LOOKING AT 690 HORSEPOWER AND 655 FOOT POUNDS OF TORQUE.

(STEVE)>> GETTING CLOSER AND CLOSER TO GETTING OUR PRO STREET DART, PROJECT BUSINESS TIME, OUT OF THE SHOP AND ONTO THE ROAD. WE'RE SNEAKING UP ON THAT FINAL 10 PERCENT OF THE JOB, WHICH IS GONNA REQUIRE 90 PERCENT OF OUR PATIENCE INCLUDING EVERYBODY'S FAVORITE, WIRING.

(TOMMY)>> SO WE'VE GOT TO GET A FEW DUCKS IN A ROW BEFORE WE CAN DO ALL THAT.

WITH ALL THAT TIN WORK THAT WE'VE DONE INSIDE THE CAR, IT LOOKS PRETTY RACING BUT WE DO PLAN TO DRIVE THIS THING OUT ON THE STREET. SO TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T HAVE ANY LEAKS IF WE GET CALLED OUT IN THE RAIN, WE'VE GOT TO LAY DOWN A LITTLE

BIT OF SEAM SEALER.

(STEVE)>> IN ORDER TO PREP THE FLOOR FOR THE WORK WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING TO IT YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE ALL THE SURFACES, NOOKS, AND CRANNIES HAVE HAD ANY LOOSE MATERIAL OR DEBRIS REMOVED FROM THEM. WE'RE GONNA TRADE SIDES WITH THE WIRE BRUSH AND THE STRIPPING DISC.

(TOMMY)>> BASICALLY WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS GET RID OF THE BIG CHUNKS AND LOOSE CRUST SO THAT WE HAVE A GOOD BINDING SURFACE. AND BE SURE TO CATCH ANY STRAGGLERS WITH A VACUUM.

WITH A NICE CLEAN SLATE TO WORK ON TOP OF, WE'RE GONNA SPRAY ON SOME DUPLICOLOR SELF ETCHING PRIMER. NOW THIS STUFF IMPROVES ADHESION AND AT THE SAME TIME GIVES US A GOOD CORROSION BARRIER. NOT TO MENTION IT GOES ON AS EASY AS PIE. IT TAKES ABOUT THREE CANS OF PRIMER TO DO THE WHOLE INTERIOR ALONG WITH ABOUT 15 MINUTES OF YOUR TIME. THAT'S A GOOD INVESTMENT, IT CAN BUY YEARS FOR THIS OLD FLOOR.

(STEVE)>> THE SEAM SEALER WE'RE GONNA USE IS LOCTITE

5510, A PAINTABLE SEALER AND ADHESIVE. I'M GONNA PUSH IT DOWN INTO THE SEAMS WITH MY FINGER SO THAT WE CAN INSURE A GOOD BARRIER AGAINST ANY MOISTURE. AND BEFORE THIS CAR EVEN DRIVES WE'RE GONNA DO THE SAME THING FROM THE BOTTOM SIDE.

(TOMMY)>> AS FOR SOUND DEADENING, LIZARD SKIN IS GOING TO MAKE THE CAR A LITTLE MORE TOLERABLE TO RIDE IN. IT'S EASY TO APPLY. WITH A PURPOSE MADE GUN YOU JUST MIX AND SHOOT. IT'LL ALSO CUT DOWN ON SOME OF THE VIBRATIONS COMING FROM

THAT BIG OLE HEMI. IN ADDITION TO PROVIDING AN EXTRA BARRIER FOR MOISTURE,

TO TOP IT ALL OFF, IT'S ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY.

(ANNOUNCER)>> IT'S WIRING TIME. GET OUT YOUR SOLDERING IRONS, CONNECT YOUR BUTTS, AND MAKE SURE YOU DON'T BURN THE RUBBER OFF YOUR WIRE. THEN IT'S BEAD ROLLING FOR BEAUTY.

(TOMMY)>> ALRIGHTY FOLKS, IT'S TIME FOR ONE OF THOSE CHORES THAT CAN MAKE YOUR HAIR STAND UP ON END, THAT'S IF YOU DO IT WRONG. BUT TODAY WE'RE GONNA WIRE THIS THING LIKE THERE'S NO TOMORROW.

(STEVE)>> AND RULE NUMBER ONE WHEN YOU'RE REWIRING AN OLD CAR LIKE THIS, ONCE YOU GET THE ORIGINAL HARNESS OUT OF THE CAR, DO NOT THROW IT AWAY.

THERE ARE MANY PLUGS ON HERE THAT ARE OE EQUIPMENT SPECIFIC, AND WHEN YOU GET DOWN TO THE END OF THE WIRING, HAVING THESE ON HAND WILL SAVE YOU A LOT OF HASSLE.

(TOMMY)>> A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THAT IS WITH THE WIPER MOTOR. IT WAS HAVING A FEW ISSUES BACK BEFORE WE TOOK THE CAR APART. SO WE WENT AHEAD AND ORDER US A REMANED UNIT FROM ROCK AUTO DOT COM. AND IT COMES WITH THE FACTORY PIG TAIL ALREADY WIRED ON IT. AND RECONNECTING THE WIRES WITH THE FACTORY HARNESS FROM THE OTHER SIDE MAKES WIRING IT A SNAP.

(STEVE)>> ALRIGHT NOW THAT WE'VE GOT OUR FUSE BOX MOUNTED WE HAVE THREE BASIC HARNESSES INSIDE THE MAIN SYSTEM. THIS ONE HERE WE'LL RUN THROUGH THE BACK AND GO UP TO THE TAIL LIGHTS, THE BACK UP LIGHTS, FUEL PUMP, ETC. THIS HARNESS WE'LL LEAVE RIGHT HERE ON THE FLOOR WHICH WILL GO THROUGH OUR DASH BOARD TO EACH OF THE GAUGES AS WE NEED THEM. AND THIS IS OUR MAIN HARNESS THAT WILL GO THROUGH THE FACTORY HOLE OUT INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT ITSELF AND SUPPLY US WITH EVERYTHING WE NEED OUT IN FRONT OF THE FIREWALL. I'M GONNA PUT THESE RUBBER GROMMETS IN THE HOLES THAT I DRILLED IN THE PLASTIC BOX JUST SO THAT IT DOESN'T EAT THE INSULATION OFF THE CABLE. MORE OR LESS A SAFETY THING THAN ANYTHING ELSE. BECAUSE WE'RE GONNA USE THE CHASSIS FOR A GROUND, WE JUST HAVE TO RUN A SHORT CABLE FROM THE BATTERY TO THE FRAME IN THE REAR.

(TOMMY)>> NOW WHENEVER YOU'RE SPLICING TOGETHER WIRES, YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU DON'T DO IT HALF WAY. IF YOU DO CRIMP SOME CONNECTIONS, THERE'S A RIGHT AND WRONG WAY. LOOK VERY CLOSELY AND YOU'LL SEE THE SEAM ON THE TERMINAL. THE CORRECT WAY TO CRIMP IT IS TO PUT THE MALE END OF THE CRIMPING TOOL ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE SEAM. THAT INSURES THE BEST CONNECTION. DOING IT THE OPPOSITE WAY LEAVES THE WIRES UNCAPTURED AND CREATES A LOOSE CONNECTION. NOW THAT'S THE MOST SIMPLE WAY FOR CONNECTING WIRES BUT THERE IS A BETTER WAY, SOLDERING THEM. NOW I'M NOT A REAL BIG FAN OF ALL LAYING AROUND UPSIDE INSIDE OF A CAR WITH A CORD ALL WRAPPED AROUND ME AND A HOT POKER ON THE END OF IT. I REALLY LIKE THIS THING. IT'S A BUTANE POWERED CORDLESS SOLDERING TOOL FROM POWER PROBE. IT DOES ALL THE WORK THAT A REGULAR SOLDERING IMPLEMENT WILL DO, BUT IT'S ALSO PORTABLE AS ALL GET OUT. WHEN SOLDERING THERE'S A FEW THINGS TO CONSIDER, LIKE THE SOLDER ITSELF. YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU USE A ROSIN CORE SOLDER, NOT AN ACID CORE SOLDER. ACID CORE IS FOR SOLDERING COPPER PIPE, NOT DOING ELECTRIC WORK. NOW THERE ARE DIFFERENT ALLOYS OUT THERE THAT MAKE UP THE REST OF THE SOLDER, LIKE 60/40, WHICH IS THE MOST COMMON, 60 PERCENT TIN, 40 PERCENT LEAD.

THE FIRST THING YOU WANT TO DO IS TIN UP YOUR SOLDERING IRON TIP. TURN IT ON, LET IT GET GOOD AND HOT, AND IF IT'S NEW, BURN OFF THE PROTECTIVE COATING UNTIL IT CHANGES COLORS. THOROUGHLY COAT THE TIP WITH SOLDER, AND YES, IT WILL PROBABLY DRIP. MAKE SURE YOU COVER THE WHOLE TIP WITH IT AND YOU'RE IN BUSINESS. THEN IMMEDIATELY WIPE OFF THE TIP ON A WET SPONGE TO REMOVE THE FLUX RESIDUE. ONCE IT'S TINNED, YOU CAN GET TO SOLDERING. YOU SIMPLY HOLD THE TIP UP AGAINST THE CONNECTION TO HEAT UP THE WIRE. ONCE SHE'S GOOD AND HOT, PUT THE TIP OF THE SOLDER AGAINST THE WIRES AND IT MELTS BETWEEN THEM. REMOVE THE HEAT AND YOU'VE GOT A NICE, SOLID SPLICE. WELL THAT'S ABOUT ALL THERE IS TO IT, AND I'VE GOT TO DO IT AT LEAST 900 MORE TIMES, SO I BETTER GET AFTER IT.

(ANNOUNCER)>> SEE HOW A PLAIN PIECE OF ALUMINUM CAN BRING THE LOOK OF YOUR RIDE TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL. THEN GET ON YOUR SHELBY SHOES FOR A TRIP TO MUSTANG HEAVEN.

(TOMMY)>> WELL WE'VE JUST ABOUT GOT THE WIRING BUTTONED UP ON OUR OLD DODGE, PROJECT BUSINESS TIME, AND WE'RE READY TO START THROWING SOME INTERIOR IN IT. SO FAR WE'VE TRIED TO KEEP THE CAR HAVING THIS INDUSTRIAL

FEEL TO IT AND WE WANT TO CONTINUE THAT

HERE ON THE INSIDE. SO WE CALLED THE BEST GUY WE KNOW FOR DECORATIVE METAL WORK, JAMEY JORDAN FROM HAND MADE SEAT COMPANY.

(JAMEY)>> THANKS TOMMY, IT'S A PLEASURE TO BE HERE.

(TOMMY)>> OUR PLANS ARE TO MAKE AN OVERLAY THAT MOUNTS TO

THE BOTTOM OF THIS PANEL THAT WE GOT FROM CLASSIC INDUSTRIES, BUT FOR A REAR PANEL WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO MAKE A CUSTOM UNIT BECAUSE WE PUT THOSE GIANT TUBS IN THE BACK SIDE OF THAT MOPAR.

(JAMEY)>> WELL AS YOU KNOW, I USE A BEAD ROLLER TO EMBOSS IMAGES ON ALUMINUM PANELS, AND I HAVE A NEW SET OF CUSTOM BEAD ROLL DIES THAT I'VE DESIGNED TO GET MORE

DETAIL IN THE IMAGES. THAT LETS ME CREATE SEVERAL NEW TYPES OF EFFECTS AND ADD LAYERS TO MY WORK.

(TOMMY)>> NOW THESE PIECES ARE DESTINED FOR ART STUDIOS AND HIGH END GALLERIES, BUT THOSE ARE SOME TECHNIQUES THAT CAN BE EMPLOYED TO CREATE STRIKING IMAGES ON ANY TYPE OF METAL PANEL INCLUDING AUTOMOTIVE. ALRIGHT FELLA, I GUESS I'M GONNA LET YOU DO YOUR THING.

(JAMEY)>> ALRIGHT, WELL LOOKS LIKE WE'RE GONNA MAKE A NICE LONG PIECE THAT KINDA FLOWS WITH THE LINES OF THE DOOR PANEL. SOMETHING ABOUT FOUR INCHES THICK AND WE'LL PUT A NICE LONG BEAD ROLL ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF IT. WE'LL USE THESE PLASTIC DYES TO HELP MAKE IT GIVE A NICE STAMPED LOOKED SO THE ACTUAL METAL WILL FLOW ALONG REAL NICELY WITH THE FABRICS. ALRIGHT WE'RE GONNA START BY MEASURING OUT THE LENGTH OF OUR DOOR PANEL.

LOOKS LIKE IT'S ABOUT 39 AND A QUARTER. THEN WE'RE GONNA MEASURE THE WIDTH, PROBABLY LOOKS LIKE IT'S ABOUT FOUR INCHES. I USE THE SHEAR TO CUT TWO IDENTICAL PANELS, WHICH I'LL FILE DOWN ON THE EDGES BECAUSE THE SHEAR LEAVES THAT HARD SHARP EDGE THAT'LL CUT YOU. WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO IS THIS IS A FOUR INCH PANEL. WE'RE GONNA RUN A TWO INCH BEAD ROLL. SO WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS MEASURE ONE INCH OFF THE EDGE ALL THE WAY DOWN THE LENGTH OF THE PANEL. THAT WAY WE HAVE A NICE, CONSISTENT BEAD ROLL. WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS WE NEED TO MEASURE IT OUT, FIND THE CENTER, DRAW A LINE STRAIGHT THROUGH SO WE CAN START LAYING OUT THE RIVETS FROM END TO END. NOW WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO IS TAKE OUR CENTER FINE RULER. IT HAS MARKS IN THE CENTER OF THE RULER A HALF INCH OFF THE EDGE WITH ONE INCH SPACING ALL THE WAY DOWN. THE NEXT STEP AFTER THE HOLES ARE LAID OUT IS TO GO OVER EACH HOLE WITH A CENTER PUNCH TO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN YOU DRILL THE HOLES YOU DRILL THEM IN THE CORRECT SPOT. NOW THAT ALL THE HOLES ARE DRILLED WE'RE GONNA GO OVER EACH HOLE WITH THE DEBURR BIT AND MAKE SURE THE ROUGH EDGES ARE TAKEN OFF OF BOTH SIDES. I PLACED THE BOTTOM PANEL UNDERNEATH THIS PANEL. PUT THE DUCK BILL CLICOS ON NOW AND WHAT IT'LL DO IS LINE

UP THE PANEL ALL THE WAY DOWN THAT WAY WE CAN START LAYING OUT THE HOLES THROUGH THE TOP PANEL. THE REASON WE SANDWICHED TWO PANELS TOGETHER IS TO GIVE THE PANEL ITS STRENGTH. IT GIVES IT REALLY SOMETHING TO BITE INTO MORE THAN JUST THE ONE THICKNESS OF METAL.

AND THEN WE CAN START BEAD ROLLING. ONE OF THOSE THINGS YOU DON'T WANT TO OVER DO IT FIRST.

SO WHAT WE DID WAS RUN THREE BEAD ROLL LINES THROUGH THERE GETTING MORE PRESSURE AS WE GO. THAT WAY IT GIVES IT A NICE, SMOOTH BEAD, AND YOU DON'T HAVE AN IRREGULARITIES IN YOUR BEADS IF YOU DO MESS UP A LITTLE. AND THEN WE CAN RIVET OUR PANELS TOGETHER.

(TOMMY)>> MAN YOU REALLY DOLLED UP THAT STOCK LOOKING PANEL. THINK YOU CAN BE A LITTLE MORE ELABORATE ON THE BACK PANEL?

(JAMEY)>> YEAH, CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.

(TOMMY)>> WHILE JAMEY'S FABBING UP A REAR DOOR PANEL,

I WENT AHEAD AND INSTALLED THE FRONT ONE ALONG WITH SOME NEW HARDWARE LIKE THIS PULL KNOB THAT WE GOT FROM ROCK AUTO DOT COM CAUSE OUR OLD ONE WAS PRETTY JACKED UP. WE ALSO GOT A NEW WINDOW CRANK AS WELL. A LITTLE TIP FOR YOU WHENEVER INSTALLING THE WINDOW CRANK

IS TO EITHER ROLL THE WINDOW ALL THE WAY UP OR ALL THE WAY DOWN. THAT WAY YOU CAN MATCH THE POSITION OF THE WINDOW CRANK

TO THE HEIGHT OF THE GLASS FROM SIDE TO SIDE. LOOKS LIKE THE CHALLENGE WAS MET. YOU GUYS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT SOME OF JAMEY'S ART WORK OR YOU WANT SOME OF HIS DYES, JAMEY TELL THEM WHERE THEY FIND IT AT.

(JAMEY)>> HAND MADE SEAT CO DOT COM.

(ANNOUNCER)>> STILL AHEAD, WE'RE LIVING ON TULSA TIME AT THE WORLD'S LARGEST SHELBY MEET.

(TOMMY)>> HEY GUYS, THEY LET US OUT OF THE SHOP FOR THE DAY. SO WE TOOK A TRIP TO TULSA, OKLAHOMA, TO THE MID AMERICA FORD SHELBY MEET.

(STEVE)>> AND ONE OF THE BIG ATTRACTIONS OUT HERE IS THE ALL FORD POWER DRAG RACES.

IF IT'S GOT A BLUE OVAL ON IT OR A FORD COBRA, THIS IS WHERE YOU COME TO SEE IT.

(JIM)>> THIS IS THE 38TH ANNUAL MID AMERICA FORD AND SHELBY NATIONALS HERE IN TULSA, OKLAHOMA. WE'VE GOT A LOT OF NEAT NOSTALGIA CARS AS WELL AS SOME OF THE NEW FORD COBRAJET DRAG CARS.

A LOT OF REALLY FAST CARS OUT HERE FOR PEOPLE TO COME AND ENJOY.

(TOMMY)>> YOU MAY BE ASKING YOURSELF, TOM,

WHAT IS A COBRAJET? WELL THE COBRAJET IS BASICALLY A FACTORY BUILT DRAG CAR THAT RUNS IN THE EIGHTS ALL DAY LONG, BUT THERE AIN'T NO DRIVING THIS DUDE ON THE STREETS IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

(STEVE)>> HOWEVER, IF YOU WANTED TO RACE IT ON SUNDAY AND DRIVE IT TO WORK ON MONDAY, WELL THE GT 500 JUST MIGHT BE YOUR CUP OF TEA.

(TOMMY)>> LIKE THIS ONE, DRIVEN BY SOME DUDE NAMED HENRY FORD THE THIRD.

(HENRY)>> IT'S FUN TO SEE THE PAST REALLY SORT OF CATCHING UP WITH US. YOU KNOW I THINK FOR A WHILE PERFORMANCE IN THE UNITED STATES WAS A HUGE DEAL IN THE '60'S AND '70'S, MUSCLE CARS, AND WE'RE BRINGING A LOT OF THAT NOW WITH THE GT 500 AND THE BOSS, AND THE BOSS LEGUNA SECA. SO YEAH, TO SEE THEM ALL TOGETHER IN THE SAME VENUE IS PRETTY INCREDIBLE, IT'S PRETTY COOL.

(STEVE)>> 2012 IS ALSO THE FIRST TIME IN MANY YEARS THAT THE LATE GREAT CARROLL SHELBY ISN'T AT THE EVENT. AND NOBODY FEELS HIS ABSENCE MORE THAN TEAM SHELBY ITSELF.

(JOHN)>> CARROLL LEFT US WITH A PLAYBOOK, AND THIS PLAYBOOK

WAS WELL SCRIPTED FOR ABOUT THE LAST 10 YEARS AND HE'S BASICALLY PUT IT ON US AND SAID, OKAY, I WANT TO SEE A GREAT NEXT 50 YEARS.

(TOMMY)>> YOU'LL FIND THAT THE LOVE FOR THESE CARS CAN ALSO BE PASSED DOWN IN HUMAN FAMILIES AS WELL.

(STEVE)>> YOU SEE THIS, NOPE, IT'S NOT THE TAIL END OF A GT 350 OR A 500. IT'S NOT EVEN A MUSTANG FOR THAT MATTER. WHAT YOU SEE HERE IS A VERY UNUSUAL MAVERICK.

(PHIL)>> SPENT ABOUT A YEAR PUTTING IT TOGETHER AND SHE HAS A LITTLE TOY THAT IS A LITTLE UNIQUE. WE LIKE TO HAVE THINGS A LITTLE BIT UNIQUE.

(KENDALL)>> WELL WHEN I WAS A SENIOR IN HIGH SCHOOL, DAD

STARTED DRAG RACING A FEW YEARS EARLIER, AND I DECIDED THAT I WOULD LIKE TO TRY IT AND I TOLD HIM I'D LIKE TO TRY IT. HE KINDA LAUGHED AT ME FIRST AND WAS LIKE, NO, NO, YOU'RE NOT SERIOUS, BUT THEN I CONVINCED HIM THAT I WAS.

(PHIL)>> I CAME ACROSS A GOOD DEAL ON A MAVERICK. WHEN I GOT IT HAD A SIX CYLINDER ENGINE IN IT. WE TOOK THAT OUT AND PUT IN A 351 WINDSOR. IT'S GOT A CFOUR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND A NINE INCH REAR END.

(KENDALL)>> THANKS DAD.

(PHIL)>> OKAY, GIVE ME A HUG, YOU'RE WELCOME.

(TOMMY)>> WELL THEY SAY THAT THE FAMILY THAT RACES

TOGETHER PLACES TOGETHER.

(RUSS)>> KIND OF A BROTHERHOOD, FAMILYHOOD OF SPEED YOU COULD SAY.

IT'S WHAT IT IS, WE HAVE FUN.

(TOMMY)>> AND KENDALL, HER TWO BROTHERS, AND HER DAD ALL

ENJOY A TRIP AT THE TRACK WITH THE RACING CLUB, PULL MY FINGER RACING.

(KENDALL)>> HE GETS A LITTLE HAPPY THOUGH AND TRIES TO GO

TOO QUICK AND ENDS UP RED LIGHTING A LOT.

(TOMMY)>> BUT THAT DOESN'T PREVENT THE OCCASIONAL LACK OF RESPECT FOR THEIR ELDERS.

(PHIL)>> WELL SHE THINKS HER CAR'S PRETTY FAST, BUT I'M GONNA UNHOOK MY TOW TRUCK HER AND WE'RE GONNA GIVE IT A RUN AND SEE HOW FAST SHE REALLY IS.

(STEVE)>> SINCE IT WOULDN'T QUITE BE FAIR TO PUT DAD'S 10 AND A HALF SECOND MUSTANG UP AGAINST HER, LOOKS LIKE IT'S THE TOWING RIG FOR OLD POPS.

(TOMMY)>> AND BY TWO HUNDREDTHS DAUGHTER TAKES THE WIN.

( )>> DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THAT DOES IT?

(KENDALL)>> THAT WAS FUN. I THINK THEY WERE FAIR CARS.

(TOMMY)>> I CAN'T STAND TO SEE THE AGONY OF DEFEAT IN SOMEONE'S EYES.

SO WE'VE GOT TO MAKE OUR WAY SOMEWHERE ELSE. SOMETIMES I REALLY LIKE MY JOB, KINDA LIKE RIGHT NOW. I GET TO TAKE THIS NEW GT 500 FOR A TEST AND TUNE.

AND MANK, HE GETS TO DRIVE THAT BLUE ONE, BUT I'M A FAN OF THIS BLACK ONE.

(STEVE)>> TELL MY MOM I LOVE HER IN ADVANCE. I'VE ALWAYS LOVED YOU MOM. AND THIS IS THE FACE OF SOMEONE WHO JUST MISSED SECOND GEAR.

(TOMMY)>> YEAH, KINDA MISSED THE GEAR, HAD TO LET THE OLD MAN WIN.

(STEVE)>> THAT WAS WILD CAUSE THAT WAS UNBELIEVABLE. FOR A BONE STOCK CAR, OH MY GOD.

(KENDALL)>> IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT ANYTHING YOU SAW ON THE SHOW TODAY, LOG ON TO POWERBLOCK TV DOT COM. ( )>> WHOO, YEAH!
