Watch this season as the Kaye Brothers push the boundaries of automotive engineering. In each episode they work with a new team of builders who together must complete a challenge in five days in order to win a grad prize of $5,000 worth of tools. From turning a 1929 Model-T into one of the coolest gassers in the city, to transforming a 1992 GMC Suburban into a pothole filler, the builds are limited only by the ingenuity and imagination of the Detroit Brothers and their crews. The Kaye's hope the series gives the local community, as well as their own struggling business, a much needed boost.

Episode List

S1 • E1

The Gasser

The Detroit Brothers push the boundaries of automotive engineering. They assemble a team of builders to compete for five grand in tools if they complete a challenge in five days. This week's challenge: Turn a slow-rolling 1928 Ford Model T into a hot rod.

S1 • E2

The Asphalter

Dave and Jamie attempt to mend the broken streets of Detroit by turning a Chevy Suburban into an all-in-one Pot Hole Filler. A trio of father-and-son builders tackle the task with them, but family feuds threaten to derail the build.

S1 • E3

Corn Stalker

Frustrated by Jamie's artistic eccentricities, Dave steps back to let his brother lead the latest build: turning a military truck and a combine into an all-in-one corn picking and cooking machine. But Jamie may crack under the pressure of being in charge.

S1 • E4

Festevil

Thinking outside the box, the Detroit Brothers decide to build a hamster wheel on steroids: a Ford Festiva that runs inside two giant ten-foot steel wheels.

S1 • E5

Amphibion

Sibling rivalry comes to a head as Jamie and Dave each build an amphibious motorcycle to race on both land and sea. Winner takes home 50 bucks and bragging rights. Loser gets crushed.

S1 • E6

Air Scream

The Detroit Brothers try to turn a vintage Air Stream trailer into a sleek hovercraft but challenges arise while trying to build a strong, yet lightweight, vehicle. If the build is successful, Dave will embark on his 1st race over an open-water course.

S1 • E7

The Motown Mullet

The Detroit Brothers build the ultimate party machine, a mobile speakeasy that runs on home-brewed alcohol. But it's not all fun and games as Dave and Jamie must make some tough financial decisions with their failing motorcycle shop.

S1 • E8

Veggie Cycle

The Detroit Brothers bring in their unemployed bike shop crew to build a one-of-a-kind custom bike. They decide to go green by converting an ATV into a prone veggie motorcycle and have just five days to get it ready so it can run off of fryer grease.

S1 • E9

RC Car

Jamie designs a full-sized remote controlled car using junkyard scraps and a forklift. Irritated with the lack of planning, Dave boycotts the build, leaving a frantic group of electrical engineers and fabricators to turn Jamie's drawing into a reality.

S1 • E10

Flip Car

The brothers create a life-size flip car to see if 1500 pounds of steel can defy gravity. To win the challenge, they'll have to design it, build it, and run it up a wall to make it flip over-all without killing themselves in the process.

S1 • E11

Scramble Van

The brothers put a twist on America's beloved mini-van as they work to create a carnival-style scrambler made out of two mini-vans connected by an I-beam.

S1 • E12

S1 • E13

Ice Bikes

It's brother vs. brother as Dave and Jamie use their own teams to design dueling bikes that can run over land and ice. If they can get the job done in five days, they can compete in Detroit's first ever motorized hockey match.
