Episode synopsis
After haggling down to a pretty reasonable price, Trey and Charles fight to bring a trashed up collectors dream back to life--a 1968 Chevy El Camino. On top of already being ridden with rust, the team must also find a way to turn a profit on a classic car missing two major components--an engine and a transmission. On top of this, Trey and Charles find themselves butting heads on whether or not they should invest in a super charger, a part that could add $3,000 to their already rising budget. The team has only three weeks to take this hunk of junk and turn it into the street brawler it once was.
