Ep 12. Barter Bucket

In Misfit Garage season 6 episode 12, entitled "Barter Bucket," the Misfit crew is back with their latest creation: a ford pickup truck their way. As the season finale draws near, the team faces a new challenge when they come across a client named JB who's been holding onto a 1929 Ford Model A closed cab pickup truck. He's been storing it in his "barter bucket," a storage container filled with all sorts of unused items.

As soon as the team take a look at the truck and realize its potential, they're ready to take it on and turn it into one of their signature hot rods. However, with a little bit of haggling, JB offers a surprising proposition to the Misfits. He's willing to trade the 1929 Ford pickup in exchange for the work they did on his truck camper. The team is hesitant at first, but eventually, they agree to the trade and the project moves forward.

The team starts by stripping the truck down and assessing what parts they want to keep and what needs to be replaced. As they dig deeper, they discover that the frame is bent, and the original Model A engine is missing. While this could potentially set them back, they are determined to overcome these setbacks by using whatever resources they have at their disposal.

To turn this project into something unique, they decide to incorporate a flathead V8 engine. The only problem is that it's not easy to find spare parts for this type of engine. Luckily, they have a plan. They set off to find and purchase a donor engine, and although not everything goes according to plan, they do end up finding the parts, and the team proceeds with the build.

The build progresses, with the Misfits going through a rollercoaster of problems and setbacks, but they keep going. They encounter a fuel system blockage, but eventually, they manage to fix it, and the team is well on its way to finishing the truck by adding their own unique touch to it. The team takes on challenges that range from engine and brake work to bodywork and upholstery to wiring and painting. Through trial and error and some creative problem-solving, they are able to complete the truck on time.

In the end, the Barter Bucket project turns out to be a huge success. The truck is transformed into a stunning hot rod, featuring a reupholstered interior, a custom paint job, new wheels, and an engine that roars. The Misfit crew is proud of their work on the project, and JB is ecstatic with the finished result.

Overall, episode 12 of Misfit Garage season 6 is a thrilling and exciting journey into the world of hot rod building. The Misfits take on new challenges and problems, show off their knowledge and experience, and create something truly unique and special. The Barter Bucket project is an excellent example of what this team can achieve when they put their minds to it, and this episode is a great addition to the Misfit Garage season 6 lineup.
