In the second episode of Texas Metal season 1, the crew at Ekstensive Metal Works has a challenging task ahead of them. They have been tasked with building a '55 Bel Air Chevy for a client who has a passion for vintage cars. However, there is a problem: the client has a unique physical condition that prevents him from driving a regular car with pedals.

The experts at Ekstensive have their work cut out for them as they need to come up with a solution for the client's predicament. They decide to install a custom-built hand-operated control system in the car that will allow the client to drive it comfortably without pedals. But this is no easy task, and the team needs to take apart the entire car and rebuild it from scratch to accommodate the specialized control system.

The team starts by completely disassembling the car, separating and inspecting every part. They have to be extremely careful throughout the process because the car's owner has a sentimental attachment to the car and its history. Once the car is disassembled, the team starts rebuilding it with the custom-built control system.

As the team works on the car, they encounter multiple challenges along the way. For instance, they have some difficulty fitting the steering wheel and the hand-operated controls in a way that feels natural and comfortable for the client. But after some trial and error, they finally manage to get the steering wheel and control system in the right position.

As they rebuild the car, the team also takes the opportunity to upgrade its power and performance. They install a new motor and transmission and upgrade the suspension and brakes, among other things. The end result is a beautiful vintage car that not only looks great but also drives like a dream.

But the real test of the car's success comes when the client finally takes it for a spin. The client is over the moon with the car and is thrilled to be able to drive it comfortably using the hand-operated control system. He takes the car for a spin, and the team watches anxiously as he puts it through its paces. The car performs flawlessly, and the client returns to the shop with a huge smile on his face, thrilled with his new wheels.

Overall, this episode of Texas Metal is a great showcase of the team's expertise in taking on unique and challenging projects. From rebuilding the car from scratch to designing and installing a custom-built control system, the team goes above and beyond to ensure the client is able to enjoy his car to the fullest. And the end result is a beautiful, powerful, and functional car that is sure to turn heads on the road.
