Ahhhh! Rough night!
I was sleeping good and I hear "Honk, Honk!' I look outside, 82 Chevelle, Super Sport!
Is there's any way you could help me put at the bumper in? And i was like, "oh my god!"
Have you ever put a bumper on one of those? You know you gotta take out
the headliner and dash? Special edition I guess. "Oh it is!" He worked at the factor.. [laughter]
We just got this trailer in. dented up, dulled out, the aluminum needs brightened up and summer is right
around the corner! So we gotta get this job done ASAP! Yep, this is a special
project. It's for kids with type one diabetes. So lets get busy! Boom!
What's up Megan? Welcome to Newman Tractor! Come on in guys!
Alright Megan, we got your trailer. What are we doing?
So we've got this trailer that was donated by the UPS
Pilots Union, (the IPA Foundation) and it's pretty ugly, but it does the job. So we've
brought it to Newman Tractor hoping you guys can fix it up, and make it look pretty snazy!
I think we can help you out. Tell us about Camp Hendon.
Alright, how about I show ya!
So Camp Hendon, we are a summer camp and year-round program for
children and families that are affected by type 1 diabetes.
Type 1 diabetes is a
chronic autoimmune disorder. It has nothing to do with lifestyle or eating habits.
So when these children are diagnosed, they wonder what did I do wrong?
There is no cure. They feel isolated from their peers, knowing that
they're a little bit different from everyone else.
Summer camp is a place
that these kids can come together and be like everybody else!
They're not the only
ones testing their blood sugar. They're not the only ones maybe lifting up their
shirt to give themselves a shot. They come to camp and they get empowerment
from the other kids that are around them doing the exact same thing.
We have hundreds of volunteers that come to help them realize that they're not alone.
Maybe it's just one week out of the year but that one week makes such a huge
difference for these kids! And not to mention the parents! This is one week
that those parents get to sleep through the night. There's doctors surrounding
them 24 hours a day. There are passionate committed
volunteers that know exactly what it's like to live this life.
Kenny for these kids, Camp Hendon is life-changing and it really is the best place on earth!
Alright Megan! Sounds good! Let's get to work!
So we got this project in and it's got a couple dents in it. And this one's a pretty good one.
You can't really see it but it's about a half inch deep. So what I'm gonna do, is drill some
random holes in it. And I have a dent puller (which you're gonna see in a minute),
and pull it out as much as I can. That way I don't have to use as much body filler.
Usually using eighth inch drill bit. I went a couple sizes smaller
because this is very flimsy material. This here, is the slide hammer and this
is what i was talking about, you'll screw this into the panel. There is sweet spot you won't
feel for the deepest part of this dent is where you want to drill. So I like
it about right here. You're kind of helping it come out as you step up
On cars and steel there's a stud gun you use a slide hammer and pull it out
then you just cut that stud and you don't have holes.
Our dent's looking pretty good down here. Not gonna take as much body filler now.
This spot here it looks like it's a tear.
Somebody least if put some silicone in
to keep the moisture out. So what we're gonna do, clean it up, grind it up and
we're gonna fill it in with some fiberglass!
We're using fiberglass which has the fibers in it. Cream harder, because you
don't put this in that will never ever set up. Now we've got our fiberglass
mixed up real good. Now it's time to apply it to the panel. This is basically
just to fill in the heavy dents.
Now we're gonna let that set up, and then we'll get
to sanding on it. Go home and take shower, eat your hot pocket. But I want Chik Filet Gus!
You know a Cliff fine! If you don't want me to get any calories in my
body and I'm gonna fall over, that's fine! That's totally fine! Eat you two hot pockets Gus! [laughter]
We're gonna paint the trailer. So we want the aluminum to pop as well. So get you a
scotch-brite pad and get you a fresh one. Pick one direction to go. That way, you
know you don't have a bunch of lines in your aluminum.
And dig deep inside you
got that hot pocket resting right there! Ooooooh! [laughter]
The fiberglass has dried, so we're gonna do take a little 80 DA, smooth it down, then we're gonna get set up for bondo!
There's a little high s pot right here. Some taking my body hammer and I'm knocking
it down a little bit so when I wipe my mud, it's underneath the body filler and not poking through.
I like that alot!
What we have here is our bondo. We put fiberglass on there first because it's
kind of a heavier material so it fills in a lot quicker. Now we're going to
start finessing it with our mud.
Gus, this is what I do I do all the nasty stuff and you bring in the pretty!
80 DA, we're gonna knock down all of our little mud lines and see what it feels like afterwards.
I'm gonna have to wipe it one more time with mud and then we'll follow it up with finishing glaze.
Over the white we're going to glance it with our DA, with some 180 DA paper.
Around the rivets we're gonna take our scotch brite pad so we can get around there real well.
We got the trailer in the paint booth. We're doing a little masking. We're taping it off getting it ready for prim and paint.
The cool thing about this trailer is that it's going to be used to store insuline and other stuff for the kids.
We're excited, the project's coming along great and we're having fun like normal!
First two items I'd buy... 79 Trans Am and I'd drive down to the local record store and get me Motley Crew greatest hits!
So now what we're wiping this down with is a wax and grease remover. So we can get it ready for sealer.
That thing was loaded with decals, which kind of has a halo of them left behind.
So, we thought it'd be best to seal that thing off so none of that bleeds back through our base.
You gotta smile a little bit cause that was like really... "vanilla".
Sushi, He always makes fun of me for eating it.
Anybody that eats that stuff sits down and pees!
We get paid tomorrow so I'll pick me up another phone card.
You're an idiot!
You're not learning anything from these videos.
You don't remember the dent pulling? Didn't that rock your world? Huh!
As you can see, we got our epoxy primer on, got us a good base
Now we're gonna put on our single stage black!
We're finishing it up! We're going to paint the wheels. This is the green that Megan
picked out.
Some people prefer the cross coat method: up and down, side to side
We just kind of prefer to do 2 coats. It builds mils in the paint.
To us it's easier to watch over and control.
Our friends from Venefron are here. They're gonna work your magic.
They were nice enough to donate their time. So everybody give them a big round of applause!
I got a call from Justin at Newman Tractor about two or three weeks ago.
Wanting to know if we wanted to get involved with Camp Hendon.
Justin gave us a little bit of insight on what camp Hendon's all about.
We got super excited! We're happy to donate our time and material, so the kids
can go down there and enjoy some downtime.
We got a giant puzzle at hand
for lack of a better term, but we're ready to do our magic!
It's got a bunch of little needles. We hit that it puts little holes around it,
which allows us to come in with our rivet brush, heat it, and then push the
vinyl down. And I'll tell you I put that in my pocket without this on it..
And it hurts!
Ouch! [Laughter]
On this vinyl, it's 3m wrap material. I was able to pull this vinyl back and
manipulate it and get a crease out and it goes down just like you want it to!
The guys from Venefron, as you can see did an awesome job and knocked it out of the park!
So hopefully the people from Camp Hendon enjoy it as much as we do!
good job guys! [Cheering] That's a jellyfish!
Alright you can open them up!
Guys! This is awesome!
Yes!!
I love it! I love it!
Camp Hendon has been important to me because I've seen firsthand... excuse me, I've seen firsthand the
the life changes that it made not only for my sister just but for me. To
actually be there and to be a part of it they talked about it being the best
place on earth and it truly is! It's, it's a life-changing, magical experience for
all these kids and I'm so happy to be a part of it.
I was diagnosed with diabetes I was
14 months old I'm 32 now so I've had it for 31 years.
And being able to be a part of this and see this awesome thing is just the best!
You approved don't you!
Hey what's up guys we finished up our trailer for our friends at Camp Hendon.

Since I did such a good job, I think you should go up to Burger King and get me a sandwich!
Gus, I've got a little surprise wearing my toolbox! [laughing]
Wasn't that his name, Jerry? Lee? No Bruce Lee, the fighter dummy! Bruce Lee, not Jerry Lee! Yea, Jerry Lee the fighter!
No it's Bruce!
He did that, that.
Are those the same Lees that own that Lees famous recipe?
Cause I don't know if this is gonna work or not.
You can't talk like that!
What!?
It's gonna work! You can't have no heart!
Okay this might not work!
This is all we do here at Newman Tractor. Walk around and stand holding our knee!
Its a shame you don't have lock jaw today. That would be great!
No, I done got him Gus! Look!
You're not holding up to your end Gus! I can't do it all on my own, I'm only one man!
You sound like Johnathan Mox from Varsity Blues.
I'm just one man. I'm just one man. I'm going now Kenny! I'm going now! [laughing]
Live free little Bubba! Come on dad, get your wings back! Do i dad get your ball back!
Come on fly! Man he's trying!
I don't know I guess that's all I can do!
But after I got what the credit people, they
got everybody off me for owing tax money, all the pawn shops are gone. the
aren't bothering me anymore for my loans! Hey it was that easy! You're an idiot!
Justin speaking of that, um, are you gonna on any vacations this year?
The pawn shop on Turfway, if you give them that title to your car, you can borrow money off of it.
I do it every Christmas!
Like 37% interest. It's a pretty good rate. Like 37 percent interest isn't bad you know.
Justin he needs some new shirts. The under arms of his are all shot!
The claw! The claw!
Are you ready Justin? No I'm not ready! Go ahead!
As soon as you get this thing hemmed up , Coffee time!
You can have your cup of coffee! Alright! A good cup! Alright! None of that stuff from
the Dollar General. And don't buy anymore of that too! Cause I got sick I did get my
stomach pumped! And just close it off with an N.
