Ep 3. Operation Firepower

In Graveyard Carz's season 7 episode 3 titled "Operation Firepower," the team takes on a new restoration project and dives into the world of American muscle cars. This episode features the restoration of a 1970 Dodge Charger that was once used as a stunt car in an iconic Hollywood action movie. The car was initially transformed to look like a police cruiser and then set on fire for a jaw-dropping scene, but now it's up to the Graveyard Carz crew to bring it back to its former glory.

Before the team can begin with the restoration process, they must first assess the car's condition. They quickly realize that the Charger has suffered significant damage, both from the fire stunt and from years of neglect. The engine is in bad shape, the interior is practically non-existent, and the body has multiple dents, scratches, and rust spots. However, the team is not easily deterred, and they get to work right away.

The Graveyard Carz team is known for their attention to detail, and this project is no exception. They meticulously examine every inch of the car and make note of anything that needs fixing or replacing. They even reach out to some of their trusted suppliers for hard-to-find parts that are specific to this particular car model.

One of the most exciting moments in this episode is when the team gets the Charger's engine running. After replacing several parts and making some repairs, they turn the key, and the car springs to life. The sound of the engine is music to their ears, and they all cheer in celebration.

The interior of the Charger is also given a complete overhaul. The team works tirelessly to restore every detail, from the seats to the dashboard to the steering wheel. They even add some modern touches, such as a new sound system, to make the car more appealing to today's drivers.

The car's bodywork is the final phase of this project, and it's where the Graveyard Carz crew truly shines. They smooth out the dents and scratches, remove the rust, and apply a fresh coat of paint that perfectly matches the original color. They also reapply the police decals to the doors and hood, once again transforming the car into a replica of the film's iconic police cruiser.

At the end of the episode, the restored 1970 Dodge Charger looks like a brand new car. The Graveyard Carz team is thrilled with the results of their hard work, and they can't wait to show it off. The car's owner is equally satisfied, as he finally has the car of his dreams. This episode is a testament to the team's dedication, skill, and passion for restoring classic American muscle cars.
