In season 5, episode 1 of FantomWorks titled "Because I Can," viewers are reintroduced to the team at the one-stop shop for automotive restoration, located in Norfolk, Virginia.
The episode begins with a classic car lover named Rick who has brought in his 1963 Pontiac LeMans for a total restoration. The car has been left sitting in a field for years and is in need of a complete overhaul. He wants to maintain the classic look but also upgrade the car's performance for a modern feel.
However, to make things even more challenging, Rick wants to convert the car from a two-door to a four-door body type. The team at FantomWorks takes on this project with enthusiasm, but it's not without its challenges. The team has to create custom pieces for the build and work with metalwork to modify the car's body frame.
Meanwhile, Dan, the owner of FantomWorks, shows us his 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider. He's been in love with Alfa Romeos since he first saw one on the street as a child, and now he owns several models. However, this specific car is in dire need of some attention. After sitting in a garage for years, the car's engine has seized, and it needs a complete restoration from the ground up.
Dan's passion for classic cars is contagious, and it's evident in the way he speaks about his Alfa Romeo. He and his team work to breathe life back into the Giulia Spider so it can hit the road again.
Next up, we meet John, a retired police officer who has a deep connection to his 1970 Chevelle SS 396. The car has been in his family for over 40 years and has taken him and his wife on countless road trips across the country.
However, John suspects the car has some rust and wants to ensure that it's in top condition for his wife to enjoy driving. The team at FantomWorks takes on the challenge and works diligently to fix the damage and put a new finish on the car.
Overall, the first episode of FantomWorks season 5 brings us back into the world of classic car restoration, and it's clear that the team at FantomWorks is just as passionate as ever about bringing these vintage machines back to life. With unique challenges and interesting projects to take on, the upcoming season is sure to be filled with excitement and stunning restorations.
