Shorty's Dream Shop

Shorty's friend Porkchop wants to turn a '69 Firebird convertible into a tribute Trans Am for his wife. Shorty and his team transform the car with a new spoiler, motor mods with AC and fuel injection, custom interior and Shorty's custom racing stripes.

Shorty's buddy Tommy has a '69 Camaro that needs some love, with damaged paint on the hood and malfunctioning headlight motors. Another friend, T-bone, stops by with his '65 Impala for an air ride, updated interior and repainted steering wheel.

A '71 Nova gets a 6.2 LS, and the crew revives a 1924 LaFrance fire truck.

Shorty's friend Monty wants to rebuild the car of his youth, an Ember Glow 1955 DeSoto. The car might be pink, but it has a hemi under the hood. Plus, a 2000 Chevy dually is a monster, but needs a new paint job, interior and tweaks to the air ride system.

The Ember Glow hemi is over the hump, but there is still plenty to do.

A big fan of the movie "Training Day" wants his '78 Monte Carlo to be built in the same vein. The G-body needs the works, including a swapped LS, beefed-up brakes and suspension and a new interior. Plus. Shorty's G10 parts runner van needs a facelift.

Shorty's right-hand man in the body shop, Joe Gomez, was diagnosed with cancer in 2009, and against the odds, he's been in remission for nearly 10 years. He wants to create a widebody Honda Accord for his wife to show his appreciation for her support.

Shorty and team build a 1956 Corvette that will be auctioned for charity.

The '56 Corvette is completed, but in arctic blue instead of red.

A Ford collector convinces Shorty to take on his '71 Torino GT.
