00:00Welcome to Sam's Garage presented by NH Oil Undercoating.
00:30Coming up on Sam's Garage, our Bandit Trans Am project is finally buttoned up and Atlanta's
00:54own Tim Phillips takes the wheel to see if this build lives up to the legend.
01:00Then Wade stops by to check out a Mustang with a secret under the hood.
01:03An LS swap so clean it'll fool even the sharpest eye.
01:08Next we roll in a 49 Chevy street rod with a modern Hemi for some much needed maintenance,
01:13an oil change, wheel balance, and safety checks to keep it running strong.
01:17And finally we're at NHLU's facility where JR, Taylor, and Joey show us the right way
01:22to apply rust protection and the equipment that makes it all possible.
01:26All that and more right here on Sam's Garage.
01:36After six months of wrenching, the Trans Am is finally finished and we've got a special
01:41guest behind the wheel.
01:42Straight out of Atlanta, Tim Phillips takes the Bandit build for a shakedown.
01:47The car looks good, it sounds mean, but the big question is, will it run?
01:52It's time to find out Sam's Garage style.
02:00This is Mark Morgan, he's from Virginia, he's a fan of the show.
02:03He had the 79 Bandit, it's all numbers matching.
02:06So we took out the 400 small block Pontiac and we're going to put an LS engine.
02:11It's a beautiful engine and it's a great way to start the season off with such an iconic
02:16car.
02:17Everybody loves Smokey and the Bandit.
02:19We're going to be installing the engine and transmission.
02:23I've got a good friend of mine's son here, Sterling Kester.
02:29So anytime you guys do an upgrade like we just did where we swapped out the whole powertrain,
02:33you're going to want to update the instrument cluster so you've got proper readings and
02:37you can monitor your new investment.
02:43It really turned out nice, maybe we can resurrect the Bandit to come pick it up.
02:47That would be really cool.
02:48That would be cool.
02:50Finally got the Trans Am done, sure it took a year, not really, it took about six months,
02:56but you can't rush perfection.
02:57And I got a special person test driving this car.
03:09All right, we got our own Bandit, Tim Phillips from Atlanta, Georgia.
03:29Sam, the car looks great and it sounds great too, but will they run?
03:35There's only one way to find out, bye bye baby, bye bye.
03:42Sorry, I'm not a ride share.
03:51Oh great, well that makes two of us.
04:11Does this thing move?
04:13Oh yeah.
04:18Does a cop taking a leak on the side of the road interest you?
04:35Yeah it does, honey.
04:36He's taking a 10-100.
04:37Better than a 10-200.
04:39Let's see what he's got under the hood.
04:43.
04:49.
04:50.
04:52.
04:58.
05:03.
05:04.
05:08.
05:10Really, Bandit?
05:27These things happen, Sam.
05:30What did you think of the car?
05:31Man, the car's a speedy car.
05:32Speedy car, you did well.
05:33Thank you so much.
05:34Who do I send the bill to?
05:35Big and little Enos Burdett.
05:36Got it.
05:40Sam's Garage is presented by NHOU.
05:50Brought to you by the following companies.
05:52Welcome back to Sam's Garage presented by NH Oil Undercoding.
06:19Wade drops in to check out a Mustang with a big surprise under the hood.
06:30What looks like an old school FE is actually a clean LS swap.
06:34Thanks to Holley's full lineup of parts.
06:37It bolts in, it runs strong, and it keeps the classic Ford style proving once again, cool
06:43is cool.
06:44My good friend Wade stopped by, so I said, you know what, dude, check this out.
06:48I got a Ford, and he was here when the 347 was in it.
06:51And so I shocked him.
06:52What do you think, Wade?
06:53I think it's amazing.
06:54I mean, it looks like a big FE motor, and it's an LS.
06:58It is.
06:59Incredible.
07:00It's pretty cool.
07:01And you're right.
07:02It does look more like an FE than it does a Windsor.
07:04It could look like a Windsor only because of the individual ports that make it look like
07:08a Windsor on the LS, right?
07:09Right.
07:10It's small.
07:11It's got the same type of frame as a Windsor.
07:13I didn't even have to cut the mounts off on the K-member to make this thing fit.
07:17Just bolted right in.
07:18It just kind of bolted right in.
07:20A little welding.
07:21That's it.
07:22But man, it's pretty cool, huh?
07:23That low car front kit on it looks really good.
07:25The distributor makes it.
07:27And I'm really curious.
07:29These are hooked to the plug wires.
07:31Yeah.
07:32These are actually the plug wires.
07:33Yeah.
07:34You literally are running a front distributor on this thing.
07:36Is that pretty cool?
07:37But there's not a distributor here.
07:38Uh-uh.
07:39That's crazy.
07:40That is pretty crazy.
07:41But that's the magic of what makes this look old school.
07:42It really works.
07:43The front runner, you know, they all have the same, you know, you can look at different
07:47motors and you see, you don't really care about the front runner.
07:49But when you look at this, that's what your eyes is on.
07:51And the only thing that you can see is that LS series on that MSD box.
07:55Black spray paint.
07:56Take care of that.
07:57There you go.
07:58Yup.
07:59And what made it easy was he had a sniper on the 347 or should I say the 302 and he had
08:09a bracket, right?
08:10So this bracket made it very easy for me to just R and R.
08:14The same four bolt plans.
08:16You just take this off, slide in an LS, set it back down.
08:20Bam!
08:21And now you got a reliable Mustang.
08:22Crazy.
08:23It makes double the fuel economy.
08:25And probably does wicked burnouts.
08:27Absolutely.
08:28The whole purpose is.
08:29So what we got to do now is fill up the fluid.
08:31We got the power steering, the coolant.
08:33We have the transmission to fill up.
08:34So we're going to get those things done.
08:35A few little electrical connections.
08:36And this thing should be ready to drive on the street.
08:39And do burnouts.
08:40Better do burnouts.
08:41Better do burnouts.
08:42If it doesn't, I'm in trouble.
08:43No, it'll do burnouts.
08:44It'll do burnouts.
08:45All right, so what Wade and I just did was button up the crucials, really.
08:56When it comes to the alternator, you wouldn't have charging without a ground strap because
08:59we've got painted, anodized, deal, make it look pretty, right?
09:02There's always a price to pretty.
09:04And then when it hooked up the power wire for the AC compressor, we do have to run aground
09:09there.
09:10Same situation with the alternator.
09:11Right.
09:12Luckily, the oil sending unit wire we just took out of the loom, out of its bracket, and
09:16it was able to reach.
09:18Right.
09:19Because we know on a 347, it's way down on the left front corner.
09:23Yep.
09:24But here, on our FE motor.
09:26Yep.
09:27That's all good to go.
09:29All right, we've got Vic 66 Holley LS swap completed.
09:46Now, you guys, if you want to do an engine swap, like I said, go to Holley.com.
09:49They've got over 70 brands under their belt.
09:51They've got everything you need, whether it be a domestic or an import.
09:54And so what do you think, Wade?
09:56I think it's awesome.
09:57I mean, it looks great.
09:58The best part is when you open the hood, somebody's going to look at it.
10:01They're not going to know it's an LS right away.
10:03They may figure it out, but then they're going to go, wow, that's really cool.
10:07That's pretty cool.
10:08And you guys, cool is cool.
10:09Some people don't like Chevy engines and Fords or the Hemi engine in my Chevy.
10:12Right.
10:13But cool is cool.
10:14So this is one of those situations where it's cool and the hood closes and clears by quarter inch.
10:19Hopefully it won't torque too much, huh?
10:20Inch is as good as a mile.
10:21All right, cool.
10:22Thanks for coming by and helping out.
10:23Thanks for having me.
10:24Thanks, Mary.
10:27He's a hot rod of tomorrow.
10:31She's been doing this, getting her hands dirty.
10:33And you've been working with your dad, building torquers and welding.
10:34Yes.
10:35And you love it.
10:36Yes.
10:37And even if you decide not to do this as a trade in the future, you still have the knowledge where you can work on your own cars.
10:43And even if you decide not to do this as a trade in the future, you still have the knowledge
10:47where you can work on your own cars and do it with your future kids one day, right?
10:52Yeah.
10:52And that's very powerful.
10:53We were donated this Porsche by Mike Giamarco from the Porsche Club of America.
10:58This group of kids who are in this trade school who want to be future tradesmen have got together
11:03on a Friday away from their normal school curriculum, and they volunteered their time.
11:09They called themselves the Gearhead Academy, and they had to completely rebuild this Porsche,
11:13taking out the engine, redoing the whole interior, everything.
11:16So we went to Robin's Auto Top in Oxnard, California.
11:21They were generous enough to donate the top for the Porsche project.
11:24So I want to say thank you to you guys.
11:26We went to Angela and Mark over at Eibach Suspensions, and they were nice enough to donate the suspension
11:31and the sway bars for the project.
11:33And the future kids can come and see the examples of their work and projects, and they want to
11:38do their own academy and put in their own time on Fridays and do this project and continue
11:42this car.
11:45Welcome back to more Sam's Garage, presented by NHOU.
11:57The 49 Chevy Street Rod with a modern Hemi is back in the shop.
12:01After 700 miles on its fresh build, it's time for some routine maintenance, an oil change,
12:06wheel balance, and some chassis inspection.
12:08From simple service tips to keeping custom classics road-ready, Sam shows how to keep
12:13the miles rolling strong.
12:16All right, so I got my brother's Chevy Hemi project back in the shop.
12:19If you guys remember, I built this with my brothers on season eight, nine, and I put 700
12:23miles on it.
12:24So it's time for a little bit of maintenance, and there is no dipstick, so I'll show you
12:28guys how to make sure that you get the right capacity of oil in your engine.
12:31And I'm going to balance the wheels, because when I got the tires from Tire Distributors
12:35of Georgia, I did not have my Corgi Master 28 tire machine and balancer.
12:39So I'm going to go ahead and drain the oil.
12:40I got me a new Ford filter.
12:42Put new fresh oil in it and balance the wheels.
12:44And I got to do a little bit of maintenance on the running board for the passenger side.
12:47I got to do a little bit of gusseting for reinforcement, so that the next person that steps
12:52on it, it won't bend away.
12:54What I like to do when I pull in a car for any kind of service is I'm going to first roll
12:58down the driver's side window, just in case something happens.
13:01Then what I'm going to do is I'm going to keep the key in a position to where I can still
13:04turn the wheels.
13:05Before I rack it, I'm going to open the hood, check the fluids, take off the oil cap, put
13:10it upside down somewhere where I can visually see it.
13:12That's going to tell me that there's no oil in the vehicle.
13:14Now that I've got the oil cap off, I've got everything good, it's racked up, I'm going to
13:17go up in the air, I'm going to make sure I'm on the locks of the rack, I'm going to
13:20drain the oil, completely drain the oil.
13:22While the oil is draining, go ahead and pull out your flashlight and do a good visual inspection
13:26underneath the vehicle.
13:27Look at the brakes, look at the tires, the alignment wear, check the whole thing out.
13:30Make sure that you don't have to recommend anything for the customer because when it
13:33comes to the front end and the steering, it's all about safety, so you want to make sure
13:36they're safe.
13:38So anytime you guys are doing a maintenance on your car and you have greasable joints,
13:41in this case being that it's on a 92 S10 chassis, I do have several points where I can grease
13:45the suspension, so I went ahead and did that.
13:47And if you guys remember last time that we worked on this truck, Bob Douglas from Modern
13:52Supply came in and we did sway bar end links and new tie rods.
13:56So right now, when I hit the left blinker, because my wheel is a little bit cocked to
13:59the left, it doesn't allow to terminate on its own.
14:03So for me to bring the steering wheel back straight, it's just a quarter of an inch, so
14:07I have to lengthen the tie rod on the front side of the control arm.
14:11I will do it equal distance on the passenger side, and that's going to get my steering wheel
14:15straight again until I make it to the alignment shop.
14:17So in this case, I need to go one full turn on both.
14:26In my case, because I had a little vibration, so I went ahead and balanced the wheels, and
14:31because I have a staggered setup, meaning the rear wheels are wider than the front wheels,
14:36and I have asymmetrical tires, meaning that they only go on one way, they're not directional.
14:40So in this case, what I did was I swapped the wheels left to right on both the front
14:44and back.
14:45That way they go into the opposite direction, and it'll keep the tire smooth and quiet for
14:49a long time.
14:50So now that everything is good, we've got the wheels back on, we've got the torque back
14:53in, put it on the ground, go ahead and check and make sure you have the proper oil capacity
14:57in your car.
14:58Let's say you don't have a computer like I do, and so what you want to do is, if it's
15:01a V8, you start with five quarts.
15:03Put the five quarts in, crank the engine, let everything fill up, and check it.
15:06If it's a V6, start with four quarts.
15:08If it's a four-cylinder, start with three quarts.
15:10Then when you're all done, turn on the lights, do a good light inspection, make sure everything
15:14is working, because I can't tell you how many times I'm going down the road and the car
15:17in front of me has got no brake bikes, and all I think about is, man, that guy's loop
15:20tech completely failed them.
15:23All right, so for those of you who may not be familiar with this truck, this is a 1949 Chevy
15:28truck, sits on a 92 Chevy S10 chassis, and it has a 2006 Hemi from a 5.7 Dodge truck in
15:36it, and it worked out really nice.
15:37It's got a five-speed TKX behind it.
15:39I did not have to cut the firewall, and nothing really matches as far as the lines go, but
15:44it's an awesome rat rod that everybody loves and enjoys seeing driving down the road, and
15:48that's what it's about.
15:48When these things sit, no different than when we retire, they start to die, so don't do
15:53that.
15:53Get out there and drive your custom cars.
15:55Sam's Garage is presented by NH Oil Undercoating.
16:05It's brought to you by the following companies.
16:07Welcome back to Sam's Garage, presented by NHOU.
16:29We're back at the NHOU facility where rust protection gets hands-on.
16:39JR and his son, Taylor, walk us through the proper application on a Ford F-150, while Joey
16:45breaks down the tools and systems that make it all possible.
16:48From prep to spray, this is how NHOU dealers keep vehicles protected for the long haul.
16:54Back at the NHOU facility, and this week, we're going to be showing you about application
16:59and the equipment used.
17:01We got JR and his son, Taylor.
17:03They're actually dealers, and they're going to be doing all the instructional pointers
17:06today as far as the application goes, and of course, we got Joey.
17:09He's going to be explaining the equipment.
17:11So I'm JR with JR's oil rust proofing.
17:13We're going to kind of go over what we just did in the bay there in the shop.
17:17So we were oiling a 2013 F-150.
17:21So the first thing we're going to do is we're going to cover the windows and the glass to
17:26minimize overspray from getting on your windows.
17:29And then we're going to go through and fog the body cavities inside your doors, your fenders,
17:34box sides, tailgate area.
17:36What about you, Taylor?
17:37What are you going to be doing?
17:38Most of the time, my job.
17:40When we're spraying, I help prep.
17:41I mean, we blow it off, get any dirt out.
17:44And so what exactly?
17:45I mean, I know you guys spray mostly everything, but I see you guys do the bottles of the doors,
17:48the door jams, anywhere that there is two of the similar metals that are attached together.
17:52You spray everything you can, right?
17:53Yeah, we spray everything we can.
17:55And those areas we'll spray the hinges, we'll spray the door latches, anything that's a
18:00moving component in the vehicle we'll spray.
18:02That's cool.
18:02Now, JR, where exactly is your location?
18:04We are located in central Iowa in a small town called Zering, Iowa.
18:08That's where you have a website?
18:09We do.
18:10It's JRsoilRustProofing.com.
18:12Awesome.
18:12And Joey, everything we see here is what you would need to apply the NHLU oil, correct?
18:17Yeah.
18:18Well, there's some choices, different levels here that you could choose, depending on the
18:23volume of vehicles that you're doing.
18:25And now we're going to have Joey go through and explain the equipment piece by piece and
18:28what you guys would need and what he recommends.
18:31All right, so we've got a lot of equipment here on the table, and Joey's going to explain
18:34to you exactly what the equipment does and what you need in your application.
18:38The first piece of equipment most people start off with is a cup gun system.
18:43This is a very common one here.
18:44You've got a plastic quart cup that goes on it.
18:47You hook it into your air compressor, usually around 60 PSI.
18:51You've got your spray nozzle on the gun, and that is a great gun to get you started.
18:56The problem with that is you can't do every single cavity, so you could upgrade to a different
19:01style cup gun like this, which is a fogging cup gun.
19:05The wands are much smaller.
19:08You can fit it into tighter spaces, especially if you're trying to do inside the door going
19:13through the drain hole.
19:14We have pressure pot systems like that one right there.
19:17That is just like the fogger gun, but it's five gallons, so you're not continuously filling
19:21up quart cups.
19:23But let's say you go beyond that and you want to save more time.
19:26You can go to a high-pressure spray system.
19:28No filling.
19:29It drops right into a 55-gallon drum.
19:31We have an airless gun that goes on it like this with a 50-foot hose that comes off.
19:36It just sprays straight product, 1,400 pounds of pressure, and then we have a fogging gun
19:42that comes off of it.
19:43It's got a dual air regulator, an air and a product line to go into it.
19:47Now, what about the hoses themselves?
19:49They're 50-foot hoses, you know, so this one's just high-pressure hose.
19:53Single line, which is the beautiful thing about this.
19:55This hose here, you have to have, unfortunately, but you have to have two hoses because you have
20:00to have one for the air and one for the product.
20:03What about storing your equipment?
20:06Let's say you don't have a high volume and you want to store it.
20:08Do you have to clean it out completely or can you just store it?
20:10No, actually, especially with our oil products, you don't have to do one single bit of cleaning
20:16on any of the equipment.
20:17It can sit there for months and months.
20:19The oil doesn't dry.
20:20And if you guys want to be a dealer or a franchisee, check out NHOU.
20:23Get with Joe.
20:24Get with Joey.
20:25And start yourself a new business.

20:50Today, we saw the Bandit roar back to life, checked out a Mustang's hidden LS power, and
20:56gave the Chevy Street Rod the attention it needed to stay on the road.
20:59Plus, we learned how NHOU dealers protect their vehicles for the long haul.
21:04That's it for this week.
21:05Thanks for watching Sam's Garage, where every project is built to drive.
