A team of experts joins Jesse in his dream quest to harness the awesome power of steam, by converting an 18-foot, 1964 Chris Craft wooden boat into a steam-powered monster.

Sure, people have strapped rockets to cars before, but no one has attempted to propel a 1965 Jaguar with a 12-foot pulse jet. Whats a pulse jet? You have to see it to believe it. They only have five days to build and can spend no more than $5,500 on parts.

Jesse and the gang plan to transform a slow sailboat into a secret speed demon. Can they build a racer to shock yacht club yuppies?

Jesse and the team want to transform a 1947 Ford Coupe into a speakeasy on wheels. They plan to add a fully functional whiskey distillery.

Jesse James takes another shot at one of the builds from the original series that has been haunting him: The Hovercraft DeLorean – and it will either be a complete failure or one of the garage’s most insane redemption stories.
