Misfit Garage is a Discovery Channelreality-television show[1]spun off from Fast N' Loud. It features two of the mechanics fired from that show's Dallas, Texas-based Gas Monkey Garage, Tom Smith and Jordan Butler, as well as Thomas Weeks and Scot McMillan, who together start a new company, Fired Up Garage.[2] The series, which premiered October 13, 2014, is produced by Pilgrim Studios, with Craig Piligian, Richard Rawlings and Eddie Rohwedder as executive producers, and Craig Coffman additionally serving as executive producer for the Discovery Channel.[2]
"Fired Up Garage" goes to work on a ’67 Chevelle. The team also enters a demolition derby for publicity, running into former co-workers of the shop they were all fired from by Richard Rawlings and who they later find out is their new shop landlord.
'Fired Up Garage' struggles to deal with 'landlord' Richard Rawlings, as well as the completion of their first major build. Will the amazing ’67 Chevelle redo put "Fired Up Garage" on the map, ready to go toe-to-toe with Richard and "Gas Monkey Garage".
Thomas makes a profit flipping a car Richard turned his nose up at. Meanwhile, Thomas and Scot pick up solid a ’57 Chevy for their next build. Later, the shop is threatened when a tree falls on it, ruining their office and crushing a customer's truck.
Richard surprises FU garage with a rundown trailer as a replacement office. Scot has a buyer for the ’57 gasser and gives the crew a two-week deadline, but things come to a halt after Thomas builds an engine that's unacceptable with the other partners.
The Misfits open house is shut down by Richard Rawlings. Thomas picks up a rare Ford Torino Cobra. Up a creek without a project car, the team hastily buys a ’65 Mustang fastback. Meanwhile, Thomas finds a ’69 Barracuda that he allows Tom to fix.
The mustang comes back from paint and the guys get to work. A trip to Gas Monkey to use a tool costs them extra money when Richard catches them and invoices them. Things take a bigger turn for the worst when Soupbone gets white paint on the hood.
Thomas flips two classic cars that turn a quick profit: a ’53 Mercury and a ’58 Ford Fairlane. Thomas and Scot pick up a’65 Chevy Nova that Scot's dad did all the engine work on, but Corbett goes rogue and paints the car charcoal grey instead of white. Future partner Kevin Clark makes an appearance on Misfit Garage and buys a $2500 project car from Thomas.
Moving forward after a surprise on the paint job, the Misfits hit a bump in the road when the axle they chopped and fabricated isn’t the right size. Thomas lands a ’31 dodge rat rod he turns for profit. Scot's dad pays a visit to tune the '65 Nova motor.
The guys attempt a truck project but run into major setbacks with the cab and bed. Later, Thomas makes a decision about a '59 Oldsmobile. Scot McMillan brings home a rooster that Tom names Little Richard.
