Charles Tanner may only be in his mid-twenties but he has been casting white metal bearings for over 10 years already. White metal bearings are found in engines from the early 1900s all the way up to the 1960s. The white metal coating is a soft malleable material that can withstand high temperatures and is designed specifically to protect the crankshaft. In this episode of Handcrafted, Charles removes the damaged white metal coating from the bearings of a Singer Nine from the 1930s and applies a fresh coating.

You would never guess that inside Ged’s garden shed he’s restoring wood trim and veneer for some of the most iconic classic British cars. Ged and his son Daniel have re-veneered Sir William Lyon’s Jaguar XJ6 and even worked on cars for members of the royal family. There are only four or five people that do this type of specialist work in the UK and few people know how involved the process can be. In this instalment of Handcrafted, Ged and Daniel are restoring a clock binnacle from a Jaguar Mk2. Watch as they transform this aging wood component to its former glory.

Detroit Muscle goes on the hunt for their next big build: Project Ultra Violet...a 1970 Challenger. This Mopar is in serious need of a sand blaster! The team salvages a rotted out '70 Challenger with how-to weld in a new metal roof, drip rails and A-pillars. Then, chassis guru Jeff Schwartz brings in his G-Machine chassis to convert uni-body Challenger to a full frame. We show you how to weld in a new trunk pan and fabricate a front cowl panel from scratch before the guys graft the world's first low deck, all aluminum Hemi and T56 six speed gearbox. Then, it's step-by-step tech on how-to mini tub a muscle car rear end to create clearance for massive tires and celebrity builder Chris Ryan shows how-to lay down metallic paint and graphics on our very purple Challenger. The guys get into how to refurbish an expensive grill, insulate a uni-body plus tips on reassembling brightwork before fabbing a high flow EFI fuel system, serpentine belt drive and dual fan cooling system. Finally, the Mopar interior gets upgraded with performance seats, and a custom dash insert.
