To further customize the vehicles, Cohen also takes on the task of designing and building custom tailgates for pickup trucks. Using materials found in the junkyard, Cohen and his team design and fabricate a unique tailgate that not only looks cool but is also functional and adds value to the vehicle.

Throughout the episode, we get to see the team in action as they use their expertise and creativity to transform junkyard parts into beautiful bespoke creations. We also get to see the challenges they face and the problem-solving skills they employ to overcome them.

As always, Cohen's charming personality and passion for cars make the show both entertaining and educational. Viewers will learn about the mechanics behind turbocharging engines and the art of custom fabricating a tailgate, while also being entertained by the humorous interactions between Cohen and his team.

In the end, Cohen and his team complete their projects and deliver the customized turbocharged engines and tailgates to their clients. The episode ends with satisfied customers driving off in their newly customized vehicles, and Cohen and his team basking in the satisfaction of a job well done.
