David Grainger asks his team to do the impossible; recreate a car that went missing more then 70 years ago from one of the most flammable metals on earth.

The turf war between new welder Dave and Guild veteran Jay is raging when owner David orders the rivals to join forces on the horror-movie star The Car. Paul gambles his son’s education fund on a ’71 Fiat and a Porsche 912 while David blows a gasket to get the Bugatti painted.

A dented ‘69 Alfa Romeo becomes a great excuse for a cosmetic overhaul while the guys play the name game with a bouncing ‘61 Econoline. Alex struggles to find the source of the Bugatti’s failing engine and owner David attempts to help his buddy Larry start his new 2003 Ferrari Spider.
8Wheeling and Dealing
When David takes Alex to Hershey to learn the ropes about Concours the timing couldn’t be worse. The Bugatti boys are working against the clock to finish the Aerolithe before the owner sees it for the first time, but the pressure doesn’t stop there. Paul pulls together the grease monkeys and body shop boys to get a ‘66 pimped-up Oldsmobile Tornado out the door for a client who wants it pronto.
