Long Road to Monterey

Jason Wenig introduces viewers to the world of high-end automotive restoration including the sky-high expectations, forensic research, and search for perfection that's necessary to make it to Pebble Beach. Viewers also get a first look at the 1921 Kissel Gold Bug and the 1966 Ferrari 330 GT Speciale.

The Kissel is currently in a seemingly insurmountable number of pieces, and now is the time for Wenig and team to start putting it all back together with the first task being reassembling the chassis. Meanwhile, they discover a problem with the Ferrari.

Wenig takes the '66 Ferrari for a test drive and photo shoot only to soon find himself under the car trying to track down a problem. A community event at The Creative Workshop invites locals to see the early stages of the Kissel assembly as the guys work on a challenging problem with the convertible top.

The Kissel is coming together piece-by-piece as the team pushes to get it ready for its first test drive and the Ferrari gets evaluated for power issues.

It's a pressure packed week at The Creative Workshop as everyone readies The Kissel to endure multiple drives in preparation for the 100-mile Pebble Beach driving tour. With the car on the road, can the assembly be completed on time?

In a few days a trailer will arrive to take the vehicles to California. The pressure to get every detail correct is never greater, and every gremlin must be chased down to ensure peek vehicle performance. Perfection also means hundreds of hours to create a transformative sparkle and shine that elevates these classics to artwork.

Jason, his team and their remarkable restorations arrive in Monterey to unveil the cars on the two biggest stages in the world. How will the 1966 Ferrari 330 GT Speciale be received at The Quail? Is the 1921 Kissel Gold Bug, the last of its kind, ready for the most prestigious car show in the world?
