Dan Short is the owner of FantomWorks and a fan of classic cars. So, when James brings in a 1963 Chevrolet Corvette AND he wants Dan to add the world’s first convertible split window – the job is too cool to resist. The problem: James needs the car for his wedding in less than two months. While the team wrestle with the near-impossible Corvette restoration, Bill brings in a 1931 Model A Ford that his father converted into a hot rod. Bill is an internet mechanic who has torn the car to pieces. This would normally send Dan running for the hills, but the car is Bill’s only connection to his dead father. Dan agrees to take on the job. Then, he finds that Bill’s budget is only $20,000.
