Shorty's Dream Shop

A 1966 Chevy Impala convertible gets a full makeover, with new paint, motor, interior and top, plus a ton of rust repair. It was Efrain Ruiz's prized possession until he was forced to sell it to cover mounting health care bills for his wife's cancer treatment. Now Efrain's wife and son want him to have his treasured Impala back, but with the dream shop treatment.

Shorty takes on the huge challenge of making a long-bed '69 C10 cool. It belongs to a Vietnam vet, whose son wants the crew to transform it into the dream truck they always imagined. Shorty decides to take the truck back to stock, with original two-tone paint and moldings, a new stance, updated interior and new wheels.

A 1971 Cutlass is starting to show its age, with some styling that would be best left in the '70s. Shorty and the team knock the urban cowboy out of the car and beef it up with muscle, swapping in a rebuilt 5.3-liter LS, plus new paint, interior, wheels and tires.

NFL linebacker Matt Judon wants to make over his father's 1977 Eldorado and bring it back to its original glory, with some Shorty touches, of course. The guys get the body straight and rust free with a new pearl white paint job, upgrades to the motor and AC, new whitewalls and hubcaps, and a full leather interior upgrade.

A 1967 Nova has sat collecting dust after its owner abandoned the project six years earlier. Now Shorty and the team are turning this shell of a Nova into a mean street machine by going back to stock with a new motor, transmission and interior, while also cleaning up the peeling paint.

Shorty and Terry unearth a rare unmolested treasure, a 1969 Impala with 14,000 original miles on it. The guys go to work on getting it running and putting it on bags with new wheels and tires. Meanwhile, Pete is looking to upgrade his 1958 Impala with new mirrors, air ride and a new sound system.

Shorty and Pete need to find a Volkswagen delivery bus to round out a collector's dream of creating a VW museum. They track down an extremely rare panel van that's been out to pasture under a pecan tree, but Shorty and Pete think it will be perfect. This bus will need a massive amount of fabrication and body work inside and out.

Work continues on the Volkswagen delivery bus, as Shorty gets down in the paint booth on this giant beast. Then it's time to get this bus across the finish line with a new motor, new suspension, new stance and brand new wheels and tires. When it's done, the team celebrates with a reveal to remember in a museum dedicated to all things VW.

The owner of '56 Bel Air has had some bad luck with his car going from shop to shop, and he still doesn't have his family dream car ready. Shorty's shop is the last stop. Joel and Shorty make sure this car is ready for the road. The guys also C notch an '84 Silverado and update it for a potential sale.

Impala Paul has quite a collection of Impalas, but he doesn't have a true lowrider. Paul decides to take one of his prized ‘59s and go full lowrider with hydraulics and a full custom lowrider paint job. Shorty's wife Lupe has a ‘92 Mustang GT 5.0, and Shorty has a "honey do" list to get this car back to its original glory.
