American Chrome

The guys have five weeks to customize a beat-up 1991 Chevy Caprice station wagon for a wife who wants to surprise her hard-working husband on his birthday. Feeling uninspired with its whale-shaped body, Leepu doesn't want to take the job. But he finds inspiration in the car's cousin; a 1965 Chevy Impala, and uses chrome for the front and back bumpers. Meanwhile, Steve replaces the old and slow engine and adds a small-block V8 and custom chrome fuel injection kit, delivering double horsepower.
