In this compelling episode, Kevin and Willie explore the journey of a passionate car enthusiast who has dedicated the last 15 years to transforming his 1991 Olds Custom Cruiser into a one-of-a-kind machine. With a transplanted 454 (Gen VI) engine, powered by EFI, this wagon is far from your average family car. At 75, the car’s owner is not letting age slow him down, although the physical demands of the work are becoming more challenging each year.

The car, which he affectionately refers to as his ”mistress," has been a labor of love, with each upgrade and modification requiring months of saving and meticulous planning. The episode captures his determination as he works on the next big project: replacing the inadequate 700R4 transmission with a 4L80e, along with upgrading the front brakes. Despite the challenges, including a rusted-out floor and a damaged bumper cover, his commitment to his car is unwavering.

As he saves up for the final pieces of his brake upgrade and tackles the rust repairs, the episode showcases the resilience and passion required to keep such a unique car on the road. With the help of friends and the wisdom gained over years of hands-on experience, he continues to push forward, determined to see his vision for the Olds Custom Cruiser come to life. This is not just a story about a car; it's about the bond between a man and his creation, and the drive to keep moving forward, one upgrade at a time.
