Leepu & Pitbull
S01E03: TailSpin
The guys are tasked to transform a Japanese junker yellow limited edition 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer OZ Rally, into an American muscle car using parts from the junkyard. Since their client wants her car to look like Kim Kardashian owns it, so Leepu uses the model for his inspiration, designing a car with curvy lines and a rounded rear end. Meanwhile, Pitbull doubles the horsepower with a reconditioned engine and cold air intake exhaust system, as well as adding a turbo-charger to boost performance.
Overview
Pitbull is a fast-talking master mechanic who has built his business from the ground up. He counts every cent and never throws anything away. Pitbull has started a new custom car business with the world-famous Bangladeshi car designer known simply as Leepu, a colorful creative who takes junk automobiles and transforms these wrecks into stunning supercars using nothing but old hammers, sheet metal and spare parts. Together, Leepu and Pitbull turn junk into gold and build affordable custom muscle cars for the average Joe. Leepu is a brilliant designer, while Pitbull has gasoline in his veins. Each episode, a customer with a great story, small budget and sad old jalopy asks Pitbull and Leepu to transform his or her junker into a cool customized muscle car. This odd couple experiences highs and lows while hunting for spare parts, ingenuous fixes and inspiration. Can these two homegrown geniuses from two different worlds work together and realize the ultimate American muscle car dream?
