Beschreibung

Im Alter von 16 Jahren packte ihn die Leidenschaft für Kraftfahrzeuge und Motoren. Damals baute Bill Carlton in Texas seinen ersten Truck um – und diese Passion lies ihn nie wieder los. Aus der kleinen Hinterhofwerkstatt wurde eine angesagte Autoschmiede, denn die Kundschaft weiß Bills Fähigkeiten zu schätzen. Vom betagten Chevy Truck über den 61er Cadillac bis zum Porsche 911, Baujahr 2014: Das Team von „Ekstensive Metal Works“ macht auf der Hebebühne mobile Träume wahr – fachmännisch, kreativ und mitunter auch radikal. Die Kfz-Experten verwandeln Fahrzeuge aus unterschiedlichen Epochen in spektakuläre Vorzeigekarossen – und diese Serie ist beim Schweißen, Spachteln und Lackieren hautnah mit dabei. „Texas Custom Cars“ schaut den Profi-Schraubern bei der Arbeit auf die ölverschmierten Finger.
