Everyone wants their car to be better, faster, stronger, but can a difference be made on a budget in a few days? David Newbern and Mike Cotten may not have all the answers, but they're will to give it a run by mixing affordable upgrades with sweat equity.
1'57 Chevy Two-Day Turnaround!
The guys take Dave's blown, big-block '57 Bel Air to compete in the autocross at Cruisin' the Coast in Mississippi. With a complete overhaul of the suspension in the event's parking lot, the guys find out how much lap time they can shave in a weekend.
2V-8 Baja Bug Suspension Overhaul!
Off-road legend Cameron Steele warned the guys that a V-8 swap wouldn't cut as much time as a long-travel suspension could. Now Newbern and Cotten finally heed his advice, going all-out with major suspension upgrades to their Baja-inspired VW Beetle.
3Drag Racing Model A!
Can a stock Model A become a true hot rod and dragstrip contender? The guys take on top fuel's Clay Millican by transforming a Model A from the ground up. With a new chassis, suspension and fresh 400-hp 347ci V-8, this Ford improves in every way!
4Turbocharged Eagle Rally Racer!
ewbern and Cotten discover a gem that's not your typical American muscle with a turbocharged Eagle Talon. It looks like an import, but don't be fooled. This thing rips! Shea Seefeldt challenges the guys on a rally course with his LS-swapped Subaru.
5Monte Carlo Surprise!
There's nothing better than a friend surprising you with one of your favorite cars. Newbern surprises Cotten with a mint 1984 G-body and an '80s-style, stock-car-inspired build to take on an actual former cup car around the circle track.
6Pro Street Mirada Makeover!
It's a revival for Cotten's Pro Street big-block 1980 Dodge Mirada, whose engine died on Roadkill. However, things don't go as planned as the guys attempt to add a giant blower and bigger tires, and bring the car back to the 1990s-era glory it once had.
