It seems like a lot to build the entire rear section of a Jeep TJ, but not for Bumpus and Fuller. They'll weld on a new frame, add some 2x2 square tubing for a rear section, and add new bumpers to allow this Jeep to do any kind of off-roading.

The steering setup on a '51 Studebaker Starlight was all wrong, so the guys go through the system and show the proper angles when it comes to steering geometry.

When a car has been sitting for five years, there are certain systems to go through before firing the engine again. Fuller and Bumpus go through the fuel, spark and fluids to get a dusty, thousand-horsepower Viper ready for the track.

The guys deliver some answers on what makes a Tesla tick, as they tear down a first-generation Tesla to put the drivetrain in a classic Cougar.

The guys bring in a turbocharged C10 already making over 700 hp and add tubular control arms to get that power to the ground. Then they install a line lock for some burnout fun.
