Ep 2. Chopped Cabriolet and 'Vette Rescue

In season 4 episode 2 of Fast N' Loud, there are two car restorations taking place concurrently. The first car, a Chopped Cabriolet, is a rare model that the team at Gas Monkey Garage has been tracking down for years. When they finally find a rusted-out version in New Mexico, the team is amped to start restoring it to its former glory.

The Chopped Cabriolet is a convertible car that was modified to have a lower roofline, giving it a sleeker look. This particular model was built in the 1940s, and it's extremely rare to find one in good condition. The team knows that they have a lot of work ahead of them, but they're excited to take on the challenge.

Meanwhile, across the garage, the team is working on a 1963 Corvette split-window coupe. This car is in slightly better shape than the Cabriolet, but it still needs a lot of work. The crew decides to give it a modern overhaul, adding new features like power windows and a modern sound system. They're also upgrading the engine so that it can go from 0 to 60 in under 5 seconds.

As the two restorations progress, there are a few setbacks and surprises along the way. The team discovers that the Chopped Cabriolet has a lot more rust than they initially thought. They'll have to do a lot of welding and fabrication to make it structurally sound. However, they're excited to give the car a new lease on life, and they're determined to make it happen.

The Corvette also presents its own challenges. The team realizes that the engine they were planning to use won't fit in the car's small engine bay. They have to design a custom mount to make it work. They also discover that the transmission is shot, which means that they'll have to take it out and rebuild it.

Despite these setbacks, the team pushes forward. They work long hours to get the cars ready for their big reveal. When the Chopped Cabriolet is finally unveiled, it's clear that all of their hard work has paid off. The car looks amazing, with a glossy red paint job and new chrome accents. The Corvette is also stunning, with a sleek black exterior and chrome detailing.

In the end, the team is proud of what they've accomplished. They've taken two classic cars and given them new life, while also adding modern touches to make them more functional and enjoyable to drive. As always, their work on these cars is a testament to their expertise and passion for car restoration.
