Show Summary

Adam Carolla and Sandy Ganz take a rare look into Joey Cavaglieri’s restoration and fabrication shop. Joey’s shop features a small group of craftsman that restore some of the most expensive sports cars around. In his shop on this day are 2 550A Porsche Spiders, and an ultra rare Scarab race car that was in a wreck at the 2010 Laguna Seca Hisorics. Joey’s tells us about some of the amazing hand fabrication and restoration on these projects. Then Sandy jumps in the Motorator Matt to do some quick brake bleed on ‘The Ripper’ and some of the various tools that can be used.

The Ripper Test Run

October 16, 2010

Video of first test run at Willow Springs, the Streets. Car ran good except for a smokey engine problem. Engine definitely needs to come out for a tear down as something is not quite right. Ran good otherwise, and gearbox was a vast improvement over the TKO that was removed.

Note first lap was a warm up, skip to 5:00 minute mark that’s the start of the actual testing. And as always with The Ripper, PLAY LOUD
