Bill Carlton and his interior guru John Burgess are happy to take a trip down memory lane transforming an '89 Bronco II super low and extra loud. In a shop first, the team builds a custom frame for a '49 Ford truck with independent rear suspension.

Like a lot of kids growing up, one of Bill Carlton's favorite cars was the Pontiac GTO, so he's more than excited to put his spin on a 1968 GTO. Meanwhile, one of Ekstensive's biggest builds, the '52 tow truck, finishes super strong.

After months and months of elaborate metal work, Bill and the Ekstensive fabrication team reach the final sprint on a one-of-one '68 GTO, built for two brothers. A treasured but dated 1931 Ford truck throws the team a major curveball right out of the gates.
