FantomWorks Season 1 Episode 2 1965 Mustang and 1951 Studebaker Truck

In the second episode of season one of FantomWorks, the crew takes on a 1965 Mustang and a 1951 Studebaker Truck. The owner of the Mustang, Tom, hopes to restore the car to its original condition by repairing its engine, transmission, and brakes. However, as the team gets deeper into the project, they discover that the car has numerous problems that will require extensive repairs.

One of the main issues with the Mustang is its engine, which has a significant oil leak. The team takes the engine apart to replace the seals, but they soon find that the engine block has been damaged and will need to be rebuilt. Along with replacing the engine, the team addresses issues with the transmission and the brake system. They also update the suspension and upgrade the carburetor to make the car run more smoothly.

Meanwhile, a father and son duo bring in their 1951 Studebaker Truck that has been in their family for generations. The truck has sentimental value, but it's in rough shape and needs a complete restoration. The team is tasked with fixing the rusted body, repairing the leaky differential, and replacing the outdated brake system.

Restoring the Studebaker Truck proves to be a challenge for the crew. With many hard-to-find parts and several creative solutions needed, they are forced to think outside the box to complete the project. The team has to patch up holes in the frame, create custom mounts for the new seat, and modify the suspension to fit modern shocks.

Both projects prove to be time-consuming and strenuous for the FantomWorks team, requiring them to work long hours into the night to get the cars ready for their owners. Along the way, the crew shares their passion for classic cars and showcases their skills in restoring even the most difficult of projects.

By the end of the episode, both the Mustang and Studebaker Truck are completed and ready to hit the road. The owners are thrilled with the transformation, and the team is proud of their hard work and dedication to restoring these classic cars to their former glory.
