Leepu & Pitbull
S01E05: King Kobra
The guys customize a 2002 Ford Mustang GT convertible for a man who wants to give his wife a big surprise. Taking a page out of Leepu's book, Pitbull finds inspiration as he races his 1986 Mercedes stock car at the local track and adds a supercharger to the engine. Meanwhile, keeping in mind the client's instructions of turning the sharp-edges into the rounded-style of a Bentley; his wife's favorite car, Leepu transforms the classic muscle car into the curvy-lines of a cobra, his inspiration for his design.
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?
