Season 9
Episodes
1,000-hp Street Monster!!! Built V-8 + Giant Turbo = Party Time!
The guys set out to build a 1,000-hp street car using a 2014 Caprice police patrol car, a built 5.3 LS, and a turbo big enough to boost three cars! Tony is on the East Coast building the giant turbo system, and Lucky Costa is in LA building the 5.3 to killer spec. Can the boys build a car with more power than anything coming out of Detroit?
Bonemaro Completely Reborn! Our Trashy Drag Car Turns Classy!
For HOT ROD Garage's 100th episode, Tony and Lucky finally put a shine on "Bonemaro," the cheap/fast/ugly project that was the show's first big hit back in the day. Lucky comes through with a fuel system upgrade, while Tony and his boys add a one-piece fiberglass front end and a proper paint job.
1,000-Horsepower Street Car Project Hits the Dyno!!
Tony and Lucky have set out to turn a run-of-the-mill 2014 Chevy Caprice PPV into an insanely powerful street car making over 1,000 horsepower! That's more HP than literally any American car produced today. They take a 5.3 LS engine, bolt on a giant turbocharger, and then let those things sing!
Guac 'N' Roll Is Now a Little Extra! '20s T-Bucket Project Actually Works!
Hot Rod Garage's first traditional hot rod build, the 1927-ish Ford T-bucket truck, is in need of a good bit of love. Tony and Lucky completely revamp, well, just about everything! Brakes, frame, steering, suspension, even the engine gets a sweet-looking 3x2 carburetor setup for primo old-school looks and performance!
1974 AMC Javelin Trans Am/Street Racer Hits the Track!
We take a rowdy 401 AMC V8 engine that we built a couple years ago and cram it inside of our very crusty 1974 Javelin. On the way in, we pair the V8 with a proper four-speed Super T-10 transmission, long-tube headers, and a ton of other hot parts. The goal is to have this package turned into a 1971 Trans Am tribute racer
1974 Chevy Corvette has GOT TO GO!! Buy low, sell wide!!!
After months of agony searching for overpriced projects, Tony decides it's time to sell something. Our best looking and most complete car is a 1974 454-powered Chevy Corvette wearing a custom 1969 custom wide body and killer paint. Steve Dulcich joins him for a final set of sweet upgrades to the 'Vette, plus a few memorable test drives!
The World's Cheapest Turbo Buick Gets '87 Intercooled Power!
Tony and guest Jimmie Caldwell dig back into the Grand Trashional, the cheapest running turbo Buick ever. They swap in a much-preferred 1987 intercooler engine, and then bolt up a ton of modern performance parts in an attempt to get this thing making serious power.
The Grand Trashional Part 3: Horsepower, Handling, Still Not Handsome
Our dirt-cheap turbo Buick T-type, the "Grand Trashional," comes back for redemption after a total dyno letdown. After finding the right transmission and torque converter, plus a complete suspension upgrade, Tony Angelo and Jimmie Caldwell go head-to-head in a driving battle to see who gets to unveil the next HRG project!
Coyote-Powered '04 Mustang GT on Rails! Incredible Suspension Upgrades!
The Coyote-engine-swapped 2004 GT gets a chassis and suspension upgrade to handle the 400-plus horses the 2015 F-150 Coyote V-8 puts down. Tony Angelo and Jimmie Caldwell replace the entire rear four-link suspension with a Griggs Racing torque arm setup with QA1 custom coil-overs. Then, they upgrade the whole interior and set some fast lap times at Willow Springs!
Crown Hick Is Built AND Bought!
Tony Angelo and Lucky Costa are reunited with the Crown Hick, a '66 F-100 sitting on an entire 2007 Crown Victoria frame, with suspension upgrades and a supercharger. The guys built it years ago, and now it's time to get this thing built right and huffing serious boost.
Turbocharged, Fuel Injected, Five-Speed...Minivan?!
Tony Angelo and Lucky Costa stray way off the beaten path when they get their hands on a 1990 Plymouth Voyager five-speed, turbocharged minivan! These cars are super rare and as '80s as it gets. The boys refresh the suspension, engine and accessories until this 250,000-mile van is as good as new.
Come ChevHell or High Water, We Will Revive Lucky's '66!
Tony and Lucky dig into Lucky's personal '66 Chevelle to wake it from a long slumber. Years ago, it left our garage with a supercharged LS engine making big power! Like any good hot-rodder, Lucky turned it up until it popped, and the car was sent to the back of his shop. Now it's time to get this thing back on the road.
'72 Javelin Trans Am Street Tribute Turns, Burns and Gets Some RESPECT
Tony Angelo and Lucky Costa dive back into the '72 Javelin project! The guys pull out EVERYTHING old underneath, then upgrade it with tubular, heim-jointed, rack and pinioned, four wheel disced, and Ford 9-inched goodness. Then, like all good builders, they give it an absolute flogging on the track.
Recently Updated Shows
Son of a Critch
Based on the award-winning, best-selling memoir from Mark Critch. This new original comedy is the hilarious and very real story of 11-year-old Mark coming of age in St. John's, Newfoundland in the 80s. It's a heartfelt window into the life of a child – much older inside than his 11 years – using comedy and self-deprecation to win friends and connect with the small collection of people in his limited world.
The Last Woodsmen
The Last Woodsmen takes us deep into the secluded wilderness with these courageous and highly skilled loggers as they literally risk their lives. It's a rarely explored, dangerous business which translates to incredibly engrossing television.
On a floating barge hundreds of miles from civilization, veteran logger Jared Douglas puts everything on the line to harvest the largest timber in the world. One misstep in this high-risk industry could cost tens of thousands of dollars, or even a life. Joining him at the edge of the world is a tight-knit crew of lumbermen who, with only axes and hand-held power saws, take down massive, highly valuable trees that can be worth up to $70K each.
WWE Monday Night RAW
WWE Monday Night RAW is World Wrestling Entertainment's (formerly the WWF and the WWWF before that) premiere wrestling event and brand. Since its launch in 1993, WWE Monday Night RAW continues to air live on Monday nights. It is generally seen as the company's flagship program due to its prolific history, high ratings, weekly live format, and emphasis on pay-per-views. Monday Night RAW is high profile enough to attract frequent visits from celebrities who usually serve as guest hosts for a single live event. Since its first episode, the show has been broadcast live or recorded from more than 197 different arenas in 165 cities and towns in seven different nations: including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom twice a year, Afghanistan for a special Tribute to the Troops, Germany, Japan, Italy and Mexico.
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert
Stephen Colbert brings his signature satire and comedy to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the #1 show in late-night. Featuring bandleader Jon Batiste with his band Stay Human, the Emmy Award-nominated show broadcasts from the historic Ed Sullivan Theater. He talks with an eclectic mix of guests about what is new and relevant in the worlds of politics, entertainment, business, music, technology, and more. Stephen Colbert took over as host, executive producer, and writer of The Late Show on Sept. 8, 2015.
Colbert is best known for his work as a television host, writer, actor, and producer, and lest known for his charity work teaching English as a second language on Tunisian date farms. Before joining the CBS family -- and being officially adopted by network president Les Moonves -- Colbert helmed The Colbert Report, which aired nearly 1,500 episodes and required Stephen to wear nearly 1,500 different neckties. The program received two Peabody Awards, two Grammy Awards, and several unwelcome shoulder massages. It won two Emmys for Outstanding Variety Series in 2013 and 2014, both of which appear to have been lost in the move. Colbert is pronounced koʊlˈbɛər, according to Wikipedia. His understudy is William Cavanaugh, who will be hosting The Late Show approximately one-third of the time. Good luck, Bill!
