Car Warriors

In case you missed the episode of Car Warriors with Honest Charley's Garage competing, here it is on Hulu. They build a Thunderbird. You might also recognize Hal who works there. He has a rat rod beetle.

Spoiler alert: Honest Charley wins.

I love that episode. The best part is that HC doesn't really have a plan for their interior and the other team has an interior guy...er kinda... He throws up and gets sick in the middle and doesn't finish the interior. HC is discussing interior and they are all like, "we don't know how to make an interior; let's fab one out of sheet metal." They do and that was the tipping point. Its like a cool custom bomber interior and the host loves it.

Rumor has it that the car is FAR from finished. Yeah it was hot wired for the show, but I think everything was finger tight and hot wired. They got to keep the car though!

I like that their response to not doing any body modifications was that the car didn't need any. I think it's true with that body. No need to mess with it. Hated they cut a hole in the hood but I guess they saw no other option when it came to stuffing that big ass motor in there. I wonder if that was planned all along to see how they would deal with it. Interior looked great, especially that wood paneling effect.

Also, it's funny how much more 'southern' people sound on TV than in real life.
