In Bitchin' Rides season 2 episode 3, titled Clean Up on Aisle '32, viewers are taken on a journey as the team works to restore a classic street rod that has been left untouched and neglected for over 50 years.
The episode starts with Dave Kindig and his team receiving a call from a customer who wants them to restore his father's 1932 Ford Roadster. The car has been sitting in a barn for decades, and it's in a pretty sorry state. The team accepts the challenge, and they start the restoration process by removing the car from the barn and assessing the damage.
As they start taking the car apart, they realize that it's in need of a complete overhaul. The frame is rusted, the suspension is shot, and the engine is just a shell. Dave decides to rebuild the car from scratch, keeping the vintage look intact but adding some modern touches to make it more drivable.
The team starts by removing the body from the frame and sending it off to the paint booth. They want to give the car a classic look, so they decide to go for a black and silver two-tone paint job with red pinstriping. The end result is stunning, and the car looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor.
While the body is being painted, the team turns their attention to the frame. They need to strengthen it and make it capable of handling the power of the new engine. They decide to reinforce it with some steel plates and add a custom suspension system that will give the car a smooth ride.
Once the body and frame are ready, it's time to put everything back together. The team installs a new engine, transmission, and exhaust system, all of which are designed to give the car some serious power. They also add some modern features like power windows, air conditioning, and a touchscreen display for the stereo system.
As the car starts to take shape, the team faces some unexpected challenges. They discover that some of the parts they need are no longer available, so they have to search high and low to find them. They also run into some problems with the wiring and have to troubleshoot the entire system to make sure everything is working properly.
Despite the challenges, the team perseveres, and the end result is nothing short of amazing. The car looks and drives like a dream, and the customer is thrilled with the outcome. Dave and the team take the car out for a spin, and they're all impressed with how well it handles.
Clean Up on Aisle '32 is a great episode that showcases the talent and dedication of the Bitchin' Rides team. It's amazing to see how they can take an old, beaten-up car and turn it into a work of art. This episode is a must-watch for anyone who loves cars or appreciates the art of automotive restoration.
