On the riveting episode of Cleetus McFarland, the team embarks on a mission to shed weight from their car like a determined dieter shedding pounds before summer. With the precision of a surgeon, they strip away heavy components such as the boom tube, suspension, hitch, and old fuel cell to make room for the new, the powerful, and the extraordinary. As sparks fly and metal clinks to the ground, the car transforms, shedding its old skin to reveal a leaner, meaner machine ready for the next phase of its automotive evolution.

Amidst the clang of metal and the roar of power tools, decisions are made to cut out more excess - the old crossmember, front sway bar setup, and even the floorboard succumb to the team's ruthless efficiency. Rust is banished, unnecessary crash bar tubes are deemed surplus to requirements, and plans are laid out to ensure the car's structural integrity during the transformation process. Enter the chassis table, a tool as vital to this project as a steering wheel is to a car, ensuring stability and precision in the face of chaos.

With each pound shed, the car edges closer to its target weight, a weight that will soon be offset by the impending arrival of a new drivetrain. The team's meticulous approach to weight reduction is juxtaposed with the excitement of an update on another project - a coyote engine and Whipple supercharger primed for action. And in a delightful twist, random phone calls to fans add a touch of whimsy to the proceedings, offering lucky winners the chance to choose between a turbo or tires, a decision that could alter the course of their automotive destiny. The episode encapsulates the essence of automotive passion - the thrill of transformation, the pursuit of perfection, and the joy of sharing the journey with fans around the world.
