In the second part of the Cab Over Custom series of Texas Metal's third season, the team at Ekstensive Metal Works continues to work on a one-of-a-kind cab over engine truck. The truck was once a dilapidated and rusted wreck found buried in the woods and has now been transformed into a beautiful custom vehicle.
The show opens with the crew still in the process of cutting away the old rusted metal and fabricating new parts to replace it. The front of the truck is slowly taking shape as the team works on the bumper, grille, and headlights. The new grille gives the truck a meaner and more modern look, and the large bumper ensures it will be able to handle any obstacles it may encounter while driving.
Next, attention turns to the interior of the cab. The team completely strips the original interior and replaces it with a custom leather design. The seats are specially made to fit the narrow cab space, and the team even manages to incorporate a flat-screen TV into the cab's ceiling. The TV can be used to display anything from movies to navigation maps while driving.
One of the most impressive parts of the truck, however, is the engine. The team swaps out the original engine for a powerful Cummins diesel engine, adding even more horsepower to the already impressive vehicle. The engine is also equipped with a custom air intake system and exhaust to give it an aggressive growl.
After the engine is installed, the truck is taken to the paint booth where it receives a stunning blue and silver paint job. The colors perfectly complement the chrome and black accents on the truck, making it a true head-turner.
Finally, the last touches are added to the exterior. The team installs custom-made side skirts with the truck's name, "Iron Giant," and logo, giving it a unique and personalized touch. The truck is also equipped with specially made LED lights to give it an eye-catching glow at night.
Overall, the Cab Over Custom Part 2 episode showcases the incredible attention to detail and craftsmanship that Ekstensive Metal Works puts into their custom builds. From the custom interior to the powerful engine and unique exterior touches, the "Iron Giant" cab over truck is an unforgettable creation that is sure to impress anyone who sees it.
