Ep 7. Hot Wheels, Big Deals

In the ninth season of Fast N' Loud, Richard Rawlings and his team of hot rod experts continue their mission to buy, restore, and sell some of the most iconic and valuable cars in the world. In episode seven, titled "Hot Wheels, Big Deals," Rawlings and his crew tackle a big challenge: turning a rusted and neglected 1954 Chevy truck into a powerful and stunning hot rod.

The episode starts with Rawlings and his right-hand man and master mechanic, Aaron Kaufman, searching for their next project. They stumble upon an old Chevy truck that has seen better days. The truck, which has been sitting in a field for years, is in terrible condition, with rusted-out panels, a broken engine, and no interior. But Rawlings and Kaufman see potential in the old jalopy.

Back at the Gas Monkey Garage, the team gets to work on the truck. They start by rebuilding the engine, replacing all the worn-out parts and upgrading it with high-performance components. Kaufman takes care of the mechanical aspects of the build, while the rest of the crew focuses on the bodywork.

The team decides to give the truck a sleek and modern look, inspired by the iconic Hot Wheels toys. They remove the old, rusty panels and replace them with custom-made parts, designed to give the truck a low and aggressive stance. They also add some Hot Wheels graphics and custom wheels to complete the look.

As the build progresses, Rawlings receives an offer he can't refuse: a buyer is interested in purchasing the Hot Wheels truck before it's even finished. The buyer is a big collector of Hot Wheels toys and wants to add the truck to his collection. Rawlings sees an opportunity to make a big profit and decides to sell the truck.

However, the team faces some challenges as they rush to complete the build in time for the buyer's deadline. They encounter some unexpected problems with the engine, and the custom-made parts don't fit perfectly, requiring some creative solutions.

Despite the obstacles, the team manages to finish the truck in time and deliver it to the buyer. The buyer is thrilled with the finished product and is impressed with the attention to detail and the Hot Wheels-inspired design. Rawlings and his crew are happy with the sale and the profit they made, but also sad to see the truck go after all the work they put into it.

"Hot Wheels, Big Deals" is an exciting episode of Fast N' Loud that showcases the team's creativity and expertise in building high-performance hot rods. The episode also highlights the business side of the Gas Monkey Garage, as Rawlings and his crew navigate the world of buying and selling rare and valuable cars. Fans of the show will enjoy seeing the team tackle another challenging project and turning it into a beautiful work of art.
