It's the beginning of a new era at Gas Monkey Garage as Richard puts the Monkeys in charge of hot-rodding a '73 Chevy P30 Step Van for their first big build without Aaron.

As the Monkeys race to finish their first big build without Aaron, Richard tries to unload his '65 Shelby Mustang GT that has a frozen engine.

Richard brings in Gas Monkey's first ever guest builder, Dallas Hot rodder Brian Bass, to team up with the Monkeys and build a '60s style hot rod out of a '34 Ford Coupe.

As the Monkeys and guest builder Brian Bass go over the schedule on their '34 Coupe, Richard makes a deal to feature the car in Hot Rod magazine if the car can be finished on time.

Richard and the Monkeys make an attempt to finish Kurt Busch's custom '72 Pantera in time for his grudge race against NASCAR superstar Joey Logano and his Factory 5 Shelby Daytona.
