Ep 9. '48 Chevy Fleetmaster

The Episode 9 of season 1 of Fast N' Loud revolves around a 1948 Chevy Fleetmaster. Richard Rawlings and Aaron Kaufman, the co-hosts of the show, come across this rare vintage car at a swap meet. The vehicle has a rusted and damaged body but is equipped with the original engine and transmission.

Both the hosts decide to purchase the car and bring it back to their garage. Richard sees the potential in this car and plans to give it a complete overhaul, making it one of the most iconic cars in the history of the show.

The first hurdle in their way is that the car's body is in extremely poor condition. Richard and Aaron plan to use a special technique called "acid dipping" to strip away all the old paint and rust, leaving behind only the bare metal body.

Once the acid dipping process is finished, the team can begin working on the body of the car. They need to rebuild the frame, floor, and trunk before they can begin fixing any other issues. The team replaces all the rotted and worn-out parts of the car and then proceeds to work on the engine.

Since the engine is in reasonably good shape, they decide to beef it up a bit to give the vehicle more power and performance. They install a new camshaft, intake manifold, and headers to make the engine roar.

With the car’s body repaired and engine upgraded, the team now moves onto the interior. They install new carpet, upholstery, and gauges to give the car a modern look and feel. At this stage, they also add some extra customization with a new paint job and body styling.

The car has now been transformed into a stunning art piece and is ready to be displayed at car shows. Richard and Aaron are thrilled to showcase their hard work and creativity. They take the car out for a spin in the nearby countryside and finally present it to their car-loving fans.

The episode ends with Richard and Aaron basking in the admiration of the car community, proud of the hard work and dedication they put into restoring the '48 Chevy Fleetmaster. The car has become a symbol of what can be achieved with a bit of vision and determination.
