Experience the transformation of a 1964 Dodge Dart and a 1965 Cobra kit car at PhantomWorks - where classic cars get a new lease on life and family memories are made!

Join the PhantomWorks team as they tackle two incredible restoration challenges. First, they revive Rudy’s cherished ‘64 Dodge Dart, a car meant to bring his family together but plagued by breakdowns and endless repairs. Watch as the crew overhauls its ignition, suspension, and brakes, fixes dangerous leaks, and finally delivers a safer, more drivable classic that Rudy and his kids can enjoy and tinker with for years to come. If you’re searching for vintage car restoration, classic car repairs, or how to make an old Dodge Dart roadworthy, this is the journey you need to see.

Next, see how Gordon’s lifelong dream of driving his 65 Cobra kit car is nearly dashed by an accident, leaving him unable to operate a manual transmission. The PhantomWorks crew dives deep, custom-fabricating a removable crossmember, installing an automatic transmission, adding power steering, and shrinking the steering wheel - all to ensure Gordon can finally enjoy his dream ride again. From transmission swaps on a Cobra kit car to custom fabrication for classic sports cars, this episode is packed with mechanical ingenuity, heartfelt stories, and the satisfaction of bringing legends back to life.
