A Swedish intern joins the team, his fumbling nearly setting off an international incident in the shop.

When the Alumatub's body comes back from Marcel's one week ahead of schedule, Boyd and the gang are thrilled.

However, when Mike discovers that the water pump won't fit under the svelte aluminum body, the whole 'tub nearly goes down the drain.

With only two weeks to go, the crew throws things into fifth gear, even avoiding a few last-minute potholes — like a too-small manifold that won't fit on the custom-built engine.

With everything on the line, the guys will have to push themselves like never before to get the Alumatub to the finish line.
