EPISODE 1: "Number One"
Meet the team as we check out the Stragglers custom car show, tag along on a cruise with Pukekohe Hot Rod Club, feature a slammed 1949 Buick Super convertible, and introduce the Beach Hop Build - a 59 Pontiac Catalina set for a grand overhaul and give away.

EPISODE 2: "Buckets"
We head to seaside Whangamata for Buckets at the Beach - a show celebrating the Ford T bucket. We ride shotgun for the Wheels Inc Twilight Run. A salt lake race inspired 29 Chevrolet Roadster is the feature car, and the Beach Hop Build investigates the international shipping process.

EPISODE 3: "Kumeu"
Just out of Auckland is Kumeu, home to New Zealand's biggest car show and the crew check out some of the newest rides to hit the scene. 
There's an in-depth feature of a highly stylized 37 Ford Coupe, and the 59 Pontiac Catalina is assessed for road worthiness on NZ soil.

EPISODE 4: "Pre 49s"
The Pre 49 Hot Rod Nationals attract the elite early hot rods and international guests. We take a close up look at a 65 Mustang Fastback with the street machine book thrown at it. And we take a look at the art of custom suspension.

EPISODE 5: "Yes...Morrinsville"
In this episode the team heads to the Morrinsville Motorama, a low key event in rural NZ. We feature a show stopping Foose inspired 65 Chevrolet Impala Coupe, and meet up with a club based out of an air force base. And we meet the world renown Steve Levine, 2007 SEMA judge, as he and his team starts prep on the Beach Hop Catalina's candy paint job.

EPISODE 6: "Americarna"
New Zealand's Americarna festival is a recent high profile addition to the rodding scene, attracting much overseas interest and Ridler winning guests.
The feature car is a mega dollar pro touring Camaro, and the final candy coated Pontiac hits the light.

EPISODE 7: "Street Rods"
The beautiful South Island terrain makes for an awesome backdrop to the 2008 Street Rod Nationals, an event packed with driving and fun. A top shelf Plymouth Barracuda gets a thorough going over, and we look at stereo installations for hot rods.

EPISODE 8: "Traditional Rods"
Paint is optional as we check out the Hot Rod Blowout, the flagship event for traditional style hot rods in NZ. We get up close with a very fresh 33 Roadster on it's maiden 800 mile journey. And do the wheels make the Beach Hop Build?

EPISODE 9: "Nostalgia Drags"
It's New Zealand versus Australia in US cars at the popular Nostalgia Drags. This week's feature car used to be a very rough four door 55 Chev. It's now a hugely customized 2 door pro streeter! And we look at how to care for your car.

EPISODE 10: "Beach Hop"
Join the crew at the Beach Hop - the biggest nostalgia festival in the southern hemisphere, where we check out the show stand-outs and give away our overhauled and very slick 1959 Pontiac Catalina. We can't forget our feature car, judged NZ's top hot rod, it's John Reid's super slick 33 Ford Coupe.
