In Full Custom Garage season 1 episode 9, titled "Bubble Top 1," viewers get a firsthand look at a unique transformation of a vintage Ford Thunderbird. The owner brings in an already modified car with a custom paint job and an interesting feature: a bubble top.
As the crew at Full Custom Garage starts analyzing the car, they immediately see that there are several issues with the build. The door hinges are worn out, and the car is missing a proper hood latch. The team notes that they'll need to fix these and other problems before moving forward with the customization.
Next, the team starts working on the bubble top. They decide to create a mold for it and eventually use fiberglass to form the new top. Although this process is time-consuming, it's necessary to get the perfect fit for the car. The bubble top also needs to be properly sealed and polished before it can be attached to the car.
Meanwhile, the team works on fixing the car's electrical system. They replace the alternator and wiring to make sure the car is safe to drive on the road. The fuel system also needs to be repaired and updated, including the installation of a new fuel tank. To ensure the car can handle the extra power, the team upgrades the suspension, putting in new coil springs and shocks.
As the build continues, the team focuses on the details. They install new door handles, new power windows, and a new audio system. The interior of the car is also completely reupholstered. The custom paint job is accentuated with new chrome trim.
After months of work, the fully customized Thunderbird is finally ready for its debut. The owner is impressed with the final product, which boasts a sleek new look and powerful performance. The car now handles like a dream, and the bubble top adds a unique touch that won't go unnoticed on the road.
Overall, Full Custom Garage season 1 episode 9 shows the dedication and expertise required to transform a classic car into a one-of-a-kind vehicle. The team at Full Custom Garage proves that with hard work and attention to detail, any car can be transformed into a work of art, bursting with personality and style.
