05:52welcome back to
06:22Sam's Garage presented by NH oil undercoating
06:25every half minute another classic rolls out 135 teams pushing precision across hidden checkpoints
06:40and winding midwestern roads from family crews to vintage powerhouses it's focus endurance and the
06:47heart of the great race one second at a time thank you to car capsule for sponsoring such an awesome
06:55event like the great race rally it's all about family it's a long technical race and he made it
07:02possible for us to be able to capture this moment and share it with everybody out there this is one of
07:07the biggest shows I mean you've first time here but I mean you get lost this fairgrounds has permanent
07:13buildings and so many attractions to see and there's there's people that have come here for
07:17generations like that's that guy's spot for nothing you know there's so much money invested in all these
07:23cars that you have to be able to protect your investment right that's where car capsule comes in
07:28the paint pro stations as we debuted at thema we won those awards which is synonymous with our brand
07:33we we innovate and we win awards and we build the best products out there and this is our smaller
07:39version which we built for the booth but it turned in to be a park a lot of guys with pink bike parts
07:44wheels or a fender they want something small so we make this one and then we make our full size one
07:49that's taken off for us so the sc1 you know we the number one brand of cars that always bought our
07:54product from day one is a Corvette so with General Motors we got this license and we do very well
07:59with it and we make a non-licensed version people just love that shape our CF1 is carbon fiber tubes
08:05oh we do like it got the backup charger with it and we do very well with these two and not only does
08:11this look carbon fiber but it's a little bit thicker isn't it it is it's about 20% thicker and when
08:16you have that oops in the garage a ladder a bike or something epic fall this is strong every 30
08:23seconds there's going to be another car going and we're going to be going over to Rochester Minnesota
08:29Rochester I'm going to be navigating hopefully Sam will be paying attention I actually got a good
08:35night's sleep did all of my annotating taking a look at what we've got to do make sure we're
08:39going to be spot on made a few adjustments from yesterday we should have a really fantastic day we
08:44had a good day yesterday better day today good news we had a six second day got two aces
08:50checkpoints hidden throughout the day two of them we hit the checkpoint exactly on the right time
08:56the other ones two seconds off three seconds off had a six second day total car was running
09:02beautiful have no problems got a little hot here at the end of the day man it was a hot day there's
09:08gonna be a lot of carnage cars broke down on the side of the road but our 67 Mustang that Chuck Norris
09:14once visited it turned in a really good score today made it to the finish line six second
09:20penalty three aces out of five legs and that's nothing better that's awesome there's just nothing
09:26better and this is so great what great fun great turnout when we were little we sat in the back and
09:32pretended we were going to Disneyland remember you want to drive okay I'll drive but it's just been in
09:39our lives forever and my mother our mother who is 94 came to the great race in 2023 in Colorado Springs
09:46and she actually got in the navigator seat and crossed the finish line with us in 92 years ago
09:54and then God willing she will be there in Pasadena with us next year when we finish there to celebrate
10:00and come across the finish line with us we are in beautiful Rochester Minnesota at the Mayo building
10:08where we got to park all of our cars inside of this beautifully taken care of building with the
10:13finished floors right on front of a river walk beautiful place to be there was a few little
10:18obstacles out there but Doug and I did really good I owe all of it to Brandon Brandon came out he tutored
10:24me told me what I needed to do my son picked it up like four times faster than I am but I'm an old dog
10:29so Joe if you were to purchase a brand new vehicle the best one you want to use is boss wax and I see
10:47that you have a nationwide lifetime transferable warranty but not only that you report every
10:51job you do to Carfax so it's got a permanent record basically it is a proactive permanent record so it is
10:57is a good thing to have now is it the best finish it's a personal preference boss wax I would say
11:03is probably 95 percent of the brand new vehicles that come in to us because you need to have a
11:07completely new rust free surface would opt into the boss wax and then we apply oil to the body cavities
11:13which is critical it's more important than the surface because you can touch up a surface you can
11:18see it you don't see the interior of a frame and it's prone to hold moisture it's unfinished so our oil is
11:24going to go in creep migrate go on the spot welds the seams and then we're going to babysit the truck
11:28you come in every two years we inspect it breaches in the surface we touch it up and then we re-oil the
11:34body cavities and so it is a great way to extend the life of the vehicle 10-15 years so if you guys
11:40purchase a brand new vehicle you want to protect that vehicle and keep its value as long as you can
11:44you want to definitely look at NHL use boss wax welcome back to Sam's garage presented by NH oil
11:55undercoating from a pile of boxes to a complete electric classic Southfield classics is redefining the
12:12build every weld every panel and every detail comes together to create brand new cabs with old-school
12:18soul and modern power so this week at Southfield classics we're going to show you guys how they
12:25assemble a complete cab these are all individual brand new pieces out of boxes they take and assemble
12:31together is that right Dan yes we get everything from one of our suppliers that is GM certified so we
12:37take all the pieces one by one takes about 15 boxes parts and we weld them all together to make
12:42the cabs you know I was looking at the pile of boxes and I'm thinking the cab right here and there
12:46is a lot of boxes but you're talking about the trim all the little braces everything that it takes to
12:51make a complete cab which includes the hinges yeah every little piece that goes along with it so
12:55basically like he said the hinges the firewall the floor pan the roof skin the outer skin the interior
13:01bracing pieces and now when you unbox them what happens next basically once we do once we take
13:07them out of the box and then we take them over to the next stage of the process which basically jig
13:10them up put them on the jig and start welding them all together and what do you do to make it yours so
13:16basically what we're doing is we're making sure that fit and finish is correct we do some some of
13:20these trucks have problems with door sagging issues we actually correct all those problems as we go
13:25door shutting and opening and closing issues so all those get addressed as we're building the cab
13:29how long time frame wise does it take from boxes to get to a cab that's finished to where you can start
13:35moving forward so basically it takes about six weeks four to six weeks we're trying to cut that time
13:40back a little bit now that we have the procedures in place and we know how to do we've done a couple
13:44of them a few of them and as we get we'll get quicker and quicker as we put those procedures in
13:49place usually takes about four to six weeks one guy 40 hours a week welding off on the cab but that's the
13:56hardest part of the truck really basically that's the hardest part the front ends and and all
13:59the sheet metal work it takes the most time chassis you can build in a couple weeks you know with this
14:05it takes a long time to get everything aligned and actually fixing all the metal and that's the
14:09most important part because what I hear these trucks can be a bear lining everything together
14:14because there is so much to them correct and usually there's so many pieces that you saw with
14:18all the boxes there's just so many pieces that have to go together and they have to fit exactly
14:22correct and before we can get to a final job like this all of that has to be correct right tight
14:27fitting like it's supposed to working like it's supposed to doing all those things you know to
14:32make it look good yeah if you don't have those then you're you got a door that's sagging on a three
14:36hundred thousand dollar car no that's not going to be good at all I noticed that you guys are
14:39dual purposing the original gas tank hole what are you using it for so we're using it as a charging
14:46port now so we did have to make it bigger so we could get fast charging we use all three
14:49chargings you know 110 220 and fast charging so we had to make the door a little bit bigger it's actually
14:55magnetic it said made out of metal so it opens and closes no plastic now as far as the gauges in
15:01the dashboard itself what kind of gauges do you use so we've got a couple different companies that
15:05we're using currently Dakota Digital will actually does some of our gauging and then we use a company
15:10called Speedhut that actually makes the gauge for us that's EV package so it actually has it registers
15:15for voltage and battery and power for that and you know that's what makes these trucks so cool is
15:21those popular names like Dakota Digital Willwood brakes quick performance rear ends all these
15:26components that you would normally find in a hot rod you're putting into these vehicles and these
15:31are long true proven components that are going to last a very long time so what we'll be doing guys in
15:39the next few weeks actually 12 weeks here at Southfield classes we're going to be showing you guys the
15:43procedures they take to put one of these trucks together from beginning to end you'll eventually see
15:49them being assembled so make sure you come back every week to Sam's garage and check out the
15:53Southfield classic segment so you guys can be more aware and have a little bit more knowledge when it
15:57comes to high voltage vehicles
15:59Sam's garage is presented by NH oil undercoating is brought to you by the following companies
16:19welcome back to Sam's garage presented by NH oil undercoating
16:35with the 2026 nopey nationals approaching an icon rolls back into the spotlight the
16:49legendary 93 Toyota Supra built in the late 90s powered by a twin turbo inline six and born to
16:56dominate we're bringing this classic back to life for the big show
17:02all right so if you guys remember last week we got the misfire taken care of with the Supra
17:06it was a bad trigger in the computer that's all done this week it's about maintenance we're going to
17:11replace those spark plugs are probably original the serpentine belts original and Italian belts original but
17:17because that little symbol right there it says Toyota it's no problem we'll probably still go another
17:2110 years won't it
17:31so anytime you guys are going to do a time belt service and water pump the first thing you have
17:34to do of course is drain the fluid i went ahead and removed the bottom shield drain the radiator
17:39before i took off the serpentine belt the fans got to come off there's four nuts on the pulley for
17:49the water pump because the belt keeps everything in place i can very easily loosen the 12 millimeter
17:54nuts with a wrench before taking the belt off then when the last one is off take the belt off spin it
18:01get the pump pulley off and the fan once that's off the upper radiator hose of course comes off
18:07then the fan shroud comes off when the fan shroud comes off you got access to everything in front of
18:12the motor before you remove the front cover you're going to have to remove the crank pulley in this
18:17case the crank pulley is pressed on so you saw me have julie go in twist the key because i don't have
18:22enough room to put an impact wrench down there be very careful twist the key put a half inch driver on
18:28it put a breaker bar on it or a cheater bar and have her or whoever it is just bump the key so went ahead
18:35and got the crank bolt off took off the pulley now i got access to the entire timing belt water pump area
18:53took off the belt took off the tensioner i went ahead and serviced my water pump
18:57put a new one back on when you reassemble making sure that you put a new gasket on the water pump put that
19:02together so anytime you guys are doing a belt swap always make sure take your two belts put them next
19:15to each other and make sure they're the same length and then i put marks on my timing gear just to make
19:20sure i can see him because i'm getting older okay you see i'm nice and tight on this side everything's
19:25good on this side of mark mark mark i can go ahead pull my pin once everything is cool and you've
19:32cycled the engine a couple times and your timing marks are right back where they're supposed to be
19:36go ahead and reassemble go ahead and button everything back up making sure you've done a good job
19:41everything put back exactly the way you found it put the fan back on tighten all your nuts put your
19:47fan shroud back on fan put a new serpentine belt on it and then go ahead and fill the coolant when you're
19:52filling the coolant in this particular case you have to give it some time because if you give it
19:56time that water is going to flow down and it's going to air and bleed itself okay if you don't
20:01these things have a tendency to overheat the first time it overheats it's going to fill the system
20:05remove the cap the air bubble will come out refill the system and it should be good to go
20:15this is an iconic car this is not just some random car that you go out there and you work on
20:21so if you guys aren't capable of working on something like this don't don't don't take it
20:24on you know what i mean if you're a google technician and you're on google and trying to figure out how
20:27to work on this that's where you need to walk away because you're going to cost yourself a lot of money
20:31and you're going to cost the customer a lot of money as well so do it right do it once remember
20:36the old saying i'm too broke to buy cheap
20:37be sure to check out sam's garage on these other media platforms send us questions and feedback
