In this episode of B is for Build, the team is tackling the restoration of a Lamborghini Merci logo with a tight deadline looming for its debut at SEMA. The car, acquired for a steal at $30,000 due to being rolled over, is undergoing a complete transformation, including bodywork, painting, and final assembly. Custom headlights prove to be a significant challenge, requiring meticulous attention to detail to match the car's unique design.
Meanwhile, the interior of the Merci logo is getting a makeover with a change from tan to a new color through a dyeing process. The team faces hurdles with leather cleaning and dyeing but pushes through to achieve the desired results. As the painting deadline approaches, the team works tirelessly to patch and weld parts, shape headlight lines, and adjust the bat wings for the perfect finish.
Despite setbacks and challenges, including the rarity and exorbitant cost of parts for the Merci logo, the team remains determined to deliver a stunning restoration. With the car and shop meticulously masked off for painting in black and a Lamborghini gray shade, the project is inching closer to completion. The episode showcases the team's unwavering dedication to transforming a damaged Lamborghini into a show-stopping masterpiece for SEMA.
