Derek heads to Guthrie, Oklahoma, where he's found a flathead straight-six, straight-body 1947 Studebaker Champion hiding in a storage container. Derek has high hopes of driving this one home, but quickly discovers some reasons this car was hidden away.

Derek battles fluid leaks and bad brakes just to get the Turd Bird back to Vice Grip Garage. There he tears the car down, blasts it clean, and gives it a new life with a modern touch. But it'll take an awful lot of elbow grease to make this one shine.

Derek has had a 1955 Pontiac Chieftain with a 287 V-8 sitting on the hillside waiting for a revival. He's keen to make this car a tribute to the early days of NASCAR, when a guy would kick off the hubcaps, paint on a number, and hit the track.

Just outside Amarillo, Texas, Derek finds a 1960 El Camino that's been tucked in a garage for 30 years. As he works to revive this classic, he uncovers the vehicle's suspicious past, with bullet holes, a secret fuel tank, and hidden storage compartments.

Derek heads back to his family farm in North Dakota, where his grandfather left a 1946 Ford grain truck. This truck has been out of commission since the 1980s, and he has to team up with his brothers Chris and Sean to get it driving in time to haul grain.
