Gonna mock this guy up. 711 00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:22,600 I'm not really liking the fitment. You see what I'm talking about? 712 00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,000 There's a lotta not lining up going on there. 713 00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,520 Yeah, this one is not centred at all. 714 00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:29,920 Looks like it's way too narrow for the car. 715 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,400 I might have to have Jeremy come over something better. 716 00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:34,240 Cool. Just what I needed, more fab work (!) 717 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,120 Yeah, more fab work for you. Thanks. 718 00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:39,200 'Every time we work on a new builder, it takes us a little while 719 00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:42,480 to figure out how they operate.

For the oil drain, 725 00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:58,840 the fitting is touching the flange. So instead of using the coupler, 726 00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:02,440 you're gonna have to weld directly to the compressor housing. 727 00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:05,200 Just gonna keep adding to the fab list, huh? 728 00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:07,600 Man, we're all learning something. 729 00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:09,840 Right now, nothing's fitting very good. 730 00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:13,200 It's just a lotta little things and we're trying to get around 'em 731 00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:16,040 and it's just not helping us out any with the time frame. 732 00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:19,360 'We're still having issues getting the fender flares to lay flat, 733 00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:22,720 so I pulled Mike and Tony over here to keep this thing moving along.' 734 00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:24,920 I sound like a broken record right now, 735 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,040 but I was supposed to have the car Monday. 736 00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:28,920 Today is Wednesday. 737 00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,040 'Richard gave us four weeks to do this. 738 00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:33,680 That includes a complete colour change to copper - 739 00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:35,640 door jambs, firewall, everything. 740 00:36:35,720 --> 00:36:38,280 I'm trying to get it in the paint booth by tomorrow.' 741 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,640 All right, let's throw some bolts in there. 742 00:36:40,720 --> 00:36:43,480 We gotta make sure that these apexes meet each other. 743 00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:45,400 I feel like we're slightly this way. 744 00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:50,080 The idea is for it to sit not necessarily up against the body, 745 00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:52,400 but a way more flush than this. 746 00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,120 When we get this so that these match. 747 00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:57,920 'That means when I see Mike getting hung up on a new problem, 748 00:36:58,000 --> 00:36:59,920 I have to step in and keep this thing moving.' 749 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:01,720 What's up, Jason? Hey, so Mike, 750 00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,080 I really like how you mounted this on here, 751 00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:06,160 but the edges where it meets the body, 752 00:37:06,240 --> 00:37:09,320 it just needs to be spaced a little bit tighter to the body. 753 00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:14,040 This gap? Yeah. He'll have to modify it so that it's gapped evenly. 754 00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:18,000 OK. You do realise, my only concern - just to be the devil's advocate - 755 00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,120 is this type of stuff here is destroying us 756 00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:24,120 getting anything else done. We're supposed to be in paint. Sure. 757 00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:26,680 We're still a long way off. I'm with, Jason, I get it. 758 00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,720 But when it comes to panel gap, having everything even, 759 00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,720 that's what makes the car either look great or look bad. 760 00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:36,120 I believe Mike has enough time where he can put some time into this. 761 00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:38,560 We still have other stuff before he gets the car. 762 00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:41,000 '(SIGHS) I keep hearing Big Mike say he gets it, 763 00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:43,120 but then he digs in like a dog with a bone.' 764 00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:46,080 It's just that back end right here, that's a pivotal thing. 765 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:47,800 It's gotta fit better. 766 00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:51,120 The problem with that is I've still need time to assemble the car 767 00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:54,240 once we get it back, and we still haven't gotten it into paint. 768 00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:57,320 'He's a perfectionist.

I'm gonna let you make that call. 772 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,800 I'm all about the fitment and detail. All right, we got a plan. 773 00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:10,160 We'll get this to Mike, even if it costs us an extra day. 774 00:38:10,240 --> 00:38:13,240 We can make it where we know we're happy with it. That's most important. 775 00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:16,160 OK. All right, thank you. Thank you, thank you. Yeah. Hey, and again, 776 00:38:16,240 --> 00:38:19,000 we wanna give you what you want.

The time crunch is brutal here. 780 00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:30,080 Oh, dude. I'm feeling it, so I'm with you, man. I'm with you. 781 00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,880 'At some point, something's gotta give.' 782 00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:40,840 All good? 783 00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:42,720 I wanna make sure now it's all welded up and everything. 784 00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:46,000 All right, ready? Yep. He's going down, for real. 785 00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:49,000 I don't know, dude. All I'm looking forward to is Friday. 786 00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,600 I'm thinking about having a big Friday party. 787 00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:53,920 Hey, Daphne and Christie just walked in. 788 00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:55,640 Is that a good sign or a bad sign? 789 00:38:55,720 --> 00:38:58,080 It's a bad sign. Have a seat. It's bad for you. 790 00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:01,200 I'm talking to Denis. Why y'all... I know, it's bad for you. 791 00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:04,360 We're trying to make plans on Friday. Bye, Denis. I gotta go. 792 00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:10,240 Do you have any idea how far over budget you are on the Datsun? 793 00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:14,760 I didn't really know that I ever had a real budget on this. We've never done one. 794 00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:17,880 Even if we didn't have a budget, it's way over budget. 795 00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,360 Come here, Bibi. Do you have a sales plan for this car? 796 00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:22,640 (SIGHS) Here we go again. What are you doing? 797 00:39:22,720 --> 00:39:24,840 They have spent way too much money, Richard. 798 00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:26,800 Bite 'em. Way too much money. 799 00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:29,520 Like what? You're like over 80k on this. 800 00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:33,200 Ugh! It would have been cheaper to go to Japan to build it. 801 00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:36,400 You can't get on the desk, you don't work here. You're just a doggy. 802 00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:38,600 Hello! What? Squirrel! 803 00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:40,920 I was playing Bibi, seriously. 804 00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:44,760 So, all the imported parts for that are super-expensive, Richard. 805 00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:47,040 We can't afford to put anything else into it. 806 00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:49,400 You're never gonna get our money back out of it. 807 00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:51,280 Yes, I will. It's gonna be a cool car. 808 00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:54,240 Am I too far over? Yes, maybe. But what am I to do? 809 00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:55,960 I can't stop now, we're in it. 810 00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:59,720 You're gonna have to put the brakes on it. You can't spend anymore money. 811 00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:01,960 So can you go talk to 'em? Like, now. 812 00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:04,840 (SIGHS) Why don't y'all go talk to 'em for once? 813 00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:08,080 You always make me do the dirty work. I always talk to them. 814 00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:10,120 No, I always gotta do the dirty work. 815 00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:12,400 Send me out there to the muscled up dudes. 816 00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,400 Tough guys with tattoos and beards. 817 00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:18,000 All right, guys, I just got a ass-whipping so y'all are getting one. 818 00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:20,920 'I knew this build was gonna be expensive. A lot of pieces 819 00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:24,280 we put on it, especially the suspension and braking components, 820 00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:27,720 are from small manufacturers over in Japan for a very niche market. 821 00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:30,360 It wasn't like I could get a good deal, I had to pay 822 00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:33,200 and I had to ship 'em over. But listening to Big Mike, 823 00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:36,720 I was hoping that we could recoup some money on time and labour. 824 00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:40,200 I haven't seen the Datsun in a few days, I haven't gone back there, 825 00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:42,360 and I'm not excited with what I'm seeing.' 826 00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,560 All right, so I was coming back here to see how we're doing, 827 00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:47,960 but the fact that Mike Coy is doing bodywork 828 00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:50,440 means that we're really behind, I guess, huh? 829 00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:53,200 Yeah. Why? This was planned out way in advance. 830 00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:56,560 I gotta take the blame. There's a lot of little fab things 831 00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:59,960 that only Tony and Jeremy can do and I'm having them do 'em. 832 00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:03,040 It was supposed to be a lot easier than this. Putt N Play. 833 00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:06,120 I don't think I said that. Close. Close. 834 00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:08,720 Here's the deal. We know our timeline, we're behind, 835 00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:10,800 so we're doing the best with the situation. 836 00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:13,200 On the bright side, the bodywork is almost done. 837 00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:16,160 That's not enough. You should have been in the booth days ago. 838 00:41:16,240 --> 00:41:18,480 'I'm always screaming about time and money. 839 00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:20,560 In order to make money in this business, 840 00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:22,600 we've got to not only build a killer car, 841 00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:25,320 but we've gotta do it in an established amount of time. 842 00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:28,200 If we go over on either of those, we're losing money. 843 00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:30,240 And on this one, we're over on both.' 844 00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:33,360 We're losing our ass now on the car. Between time and money, 845 00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:37,080 we've overspent too. What are our options? We need to speed this up. 846 00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:39,960 How long is it gonna take you to paint this car copper? 847 00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:43,160 It's gonna take a while. Well, what if we leave it green? 848 00:41:43,240 --> 00:41:46,800 That would save us a bunch of time. We spent a lotta time fabbing 849 00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:48,960 to put all the items we want on the car. 850 00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:52,800 I would much rather give up a colour change than give up those items. 851 00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,280 At the end of the day, if time is our problem, 852 00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:57,360 then that's gonna be the timesaver. 853 00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:01,320 'I'm worried about where we're at the Z, but we're committed and we've already spent the money. 854 00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:03,960 We just got dig out of this hole. A colour change wouldn't hurt 855 00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:06,760 the value of the car. As long as Big Mike doesn't think we're settling, 856 00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:10,280 I think it's the best way forward. At least it's green, though.' 857 00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:13,240 I won't think it's settling. I like this colour green. 858 00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:16,320 The bronze wheels we got, they look great on this colour. 859 00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:18,200 And you like green.
