00:00First, we hit the road for the great race. 135 classics soaring out of St. Paul, proving

00:24that precision and passion never go out of style. Then family teams take the challenge

00:29head-on, chasing perfection across hidden checkpoints and the Heartland Highways.

00:36Next at Southfield Classics, we watch brand new cabs take shape from piles of metal and

00:40sparks of ingenuity, old-school craftsmanship meeting modern electric power. And finally,

00:47we prep the legendary 93 Toyota Supra for the Nopi Nationals, tuning a timeless icon for

00:52its moment back in the spotlight.

01:00We have 135 plus cars in the great race. Checkpoints along the way that they don't know in advance,

01:07and so the goal is you're going to stay on target from start to finish. It's like family

01:11to me. So keeping it maintained, keeping it running hard, it's a complete family member,

01:16it's an experience. All the workers, all the towns that have been welcoming us. Winning

01:20an ace in the great race is just, it's one of the things that just lifts you up. Were

01:24we on time and everybody else was wrong? Were they on time and we were wrong? I guess we'll

01:29find out tonight. We're kicking off the great race with over 135 classics soaring out of St. Paul,

01:35Minnesota. Family teams, hidden checkpoints, and pure vintage grit. This is Sam's Garage.

01:44This is an exciting day. We are at the Back to the 50s Car Show here at the St. Paul,

01:48Minnesota State Fairgrounds. As you can see, there's thousands of people here. This is where the start

01:53of the great race is going to be. We're all lined up. We've got over 150 cars. We'll be starting in about

01:5830 minutes. We've got everybody here along with Josh and James, two good friends of mine,

02:03who were here last year in there. Jensen Healy? Jensen Healy. Tell me about that cool engine that's

02:09in there. We've got a 907 Lotus in there and this engine will do anything you ask her to do. Now this

02:16year we also have your wife Kimberly along with Amanda doing their own race team as rookies. Yes.

02:21And they did very good. Amanda is the navigator and Kimberly is the driver and they were my

02:28support crew. Yeah. So Amanda decided she wanted her own car. So I bought her a car and the girls

02:33are doing fantastic. You know what I'm excited about? What's that? Seeing the the genius of my

02:38navigator and how he comes along in this thing and and he does an impossible task and and he he grows

02:45and grows every day and I'm excited about that. I'm excited about the girls. Hell, I'm even excited

02:50about you. Being able to come out with a great race and see a show like this with all of these cars,

02:55every one of us has hot rods in our blood. Whether you like to look at your all stock classics vintage

03:02or you like to turn around and look at your model t t buckets, your rat rods, everything else.

03:06As a car guy being able to start the day, start the event at a place like this with nothing but

03:13beautiful hot rods, modified, street rods, you name it. This is the absolute best place you can

03:18possibly start your event. So many cars out here, thousands of people coming out to support us.

03:24What's not to love? So the great race is taking off right here at the Back to the 50s event and I'm

03:28here with Steve and we were walking by his Cadillac. What a beautiful Cadillac. This is your first time

03:33here at the show. First time. I'm originally a SoCal guy but uh live in Iowa now and I had to come see

03:39what all the fun was about. Heard a lot of things about this show. It's the real deal and I've been

03:43to a lot of car shows. I've been to Hot August Nights. I've been to all the big ones, good guys,

03:48and I'm here to say that this is probably the largest single site car show that I've ever been

03:53to. Tell us about the beautiful Cadillac behind us. What year is it? Yeah, it's a 1947 series 62

03:59convertible. They made 6,755 of them in 47. Wow. I couldn't tell you how many are left and I sure

04:07can tell you how many are left like this with an LS3 and air ride. Absolutely beautiful. Seeing,

04:13go and buy it. You can tell it's done to the nines and then you got the LS engine in there. That's the

04:17cherry on top. I heard that you ladies did a very good job. Your first time out, you even beat us

04:23and James. Yesterday our total score was 25 seconds, which we were like overly really thrilled that we

04:31did so good. That's incredibly good because we got a 29 second and we're sportsmen this year. So there

04:36was no excuses for us, but that is so cool. Who's the navigator? Who's the driver? I'm navigating.

04:41Driver. How long have you known each other? Since we were 13 years old. So we went to high

04:49school and college together. And you're doing good in the car together? Yes, we are. Perfect. It's

04:53just the first day. First day. There's going to be a lot more difficult days coming up, so hopefully

04:58it'll test your relationship, right? I think we'll be okay. There's a lot of husbands and wife teams as

05:05well. Some of them get along really good, some of them, you know, it's a little iffy. I know, Julie,

05:09if you and I were in the car together, it'd be a little iffy. Sam's Garage is presented by NHOU.

05:18Brought to you by the following companies.

05:30Welcome back to Sam's Garage presented by NH Oil Undercoding.

05:55Every half minute, another classic rolls out. 135 teams pushing precision across hidden checkpoints

06:10and winding Midwestern roads. From family crews to vintage powerhouses, it's focus, endurance,

06:16and the heart of the great race, one second at a time.

06:22Thank you to Car Capital for sponsoring such an awesome event like the Great Race Rally.

06:27It's all about family. It's a long, technical race. And he made it possible for us to be able to

06:33capture this moment and share it with everybody out there.

06:36This is one of the biggest shows. I mean, you first time here, but I mean, you get lost.

06:41Yeah.

06:42This fairgrounds has permanent buildings and so many attractions to see. And there's

06:46there's people that have come here for generations, like that's that guy's spot for nothing.

06:50You know, there's so much money invested in all these cars that you have to be able to protect

06:55your investment. Right. And that's where Car Capsule comes in.

06:58The Pay Pro stations, as we debuted at SEMA, we won those awards, which is synonymous with our brand.

07:04We innovate and we win awards and we build the best products out there. And this is our smaller

07:09version, which we've built for the booth, but it turned into be a part. A lot of guys

07:13would think bike parts, wheels or a fender. They want something small. So we make this one

07:17and then we make our full size one. That's taken off for us. So the SE1, you know, we,

07:21the number one brand of cars that always bought our product from day one is the Corvette.

07:25So with General Motors, we got this license and we do very well with it. And we make a non-licensed

07:31version. People just love that shape. Our CF1 is carbon fiber tubes, OD light kit,

07:37got the backup charger with it. And we do very well with these two.

07:40And not only does this look carbon fiber, but it's a little bit thicker, isn't it?

07:43It is. It's about 20% thicker. And when you have that oops in the garage, a ladder, a bike or something,

07:49epic fall, this is strong. Every 30 seconds, there's going to be another

07:55car going and we're going to be going over to Rochester, Minnesota.

07:59Rochester. I'm going to be navigating. Hopefully Sam will be paying attention.

08:04I actually got a good night's sleep. I did all of my annotating, taking a look at what we've got to do,

08:09make sure we're going to be spot on. Made a few adjustments from yesterday. We should have a

08:13really fantastic day. We had a good day yesterday, better day today.

08:16Good news. We had a six second day, got two aces, checkpoints hidden throughout the day.

08:23Two of them, we hit the checkpoint exactly on the right time. The other one's two seconds off,

08:28three seconds off, had a six second day total. Cars running beautiful, have no problems. Got a little

08:34hot here at the end of the day, but man, it was a hot day. There's going to be a lot of carnage.

08:39Cars broke down on the side of the road, but our 67 Mustang that Chuck Norris once visited it,

08:45turned in a really good score today. Made it to the finish line. Six second penalty.

08:50Three aces out of five legs, and that's awesome. There's just nothing better than that.

08:57And this is so great. What great fun, great turnout. When we were little, we sat in the back and

09:02pretended we were going to Disneyland, remember? You want to drive? Okay, I'll drive. But it's just been

09:09in our lives forever. And my mother, our mother, who is 94, came to the great race in 2023 in Colorado

09:16Springs. And she actually got in the navigator seat and crossed the finish line with us two years ago.

09:24And then, God willing, she will be there in Pasadena with us next year when we finish there

09:29to celebrate and come across the finish line with us. We are in beautiful Rochester, Minnesota,

09:36at the Mayo building where we got to park all of our cars inside of this beautifully taken care of

09:42building with the finished floors right on front of a river walk. Beautiful place to be. There was a

09:47few little obstacles out there, but Doug and I did really good. I owe all of it to Brandon. Brandon came

09:52out. He tutored me, told me what I needed to do. My son picked it up like four times faster than I am,

09:58but I'm an old dog. I kept working at it, but we had a fabulous day today.

10:12So Joe, if you were to purchase a brand new vehicle, the best one you want to use is Boss Wax. And I see

10:17that you have a nationwide lifetime transferable warranty, but not only that, you report every

10:21job you do to Carfax, so it's got a permanent record. Basically, it is a proactive permanent

10:26record, so it is a good thing to have. Now, is it the best finish? It's a personal preference. Boss

10:32Wax, I would say, is probably 95% of the brand new vehicles that come into us because you need to

10:37have a completely new rust-free surface would opt into the Boss Wax. And then we apply oil to the

10:43body cavities, which is critical. It's more important than the surface because you can touch up a

10:47surface. You can see it. You don't see the interior of a frame, and it's prone to hold moisture. It's

10:53unfinished. So our oil is going to go in, creep, migrate, go in the spot welds, the seams, and then

10:57we're going to babysit the truck. You come in every two years, we inspect it, breaches in the surface,

11:02we touch it up, and then we re-oil the body cavities. And so it is a great way to extend the

11:07life of the vehicle 10, 15 years. So if you guys purchase a brand new vehicle, you want to protect

11:12that vehicle and keep its value as long as you can, you want to definitely look at NHLU's Boss Wax.

11:17Welcome back to Sam's Garage, presented by NH Oil Undercoding.

11:36From a pile of boxes to a complete electric classic, Southfield Classics is redefining the build.

11:42Every weld, every panel, and every detail comes together to create brand new cabs with old-school

11:48soul and modern power. So this week at Southfield Classics, we're going to show you guys how they

11:55assemble a complete cab. These are all individual brand new pieces out of boxes they take and assemble

12:01together. Isn't that right, Dan? Yes, we get everything from one of our suppliers that is GM certified. So we

12:06take all the pieces one by one, takes about 15 boxes of parts, and we weld them all together to

12:12make the cabs. You know, I was looking at the pile of boxes, and I'm thinking the cab right here,

12:16and there is a lot of boxes, but you're talking about the trim, all the little braces, everything

12:20that it takes to make a complete cab, which includes the hinges. Yeah, every little piece that goes along

12:24with it. So basically, like he said, the hinges, the firewall, the floor pan, the roof skin, the outer skin,

12:30the interior bracing pieces. And now when you unbox them, what happens next? Basically, once we do,

12:36once we take them out of the box, and then we take them over to the next stage of the process,

12:39which is basically jig them up, put them on the jig, and start welding them all together. And what do

12:44you do to make it yours? So basically, what we're doing is we're making sure that fit and finish is

12:48correct. We do some, some of these trucks have problems with door sagging issues. We actually correct

12:53all those problems as we go, door shutting and opening and closing issues. So all those get addressed as

12:59we're building the cab. How long time frame-wise does it take from boxes to get to a cab that's

13:04finished to where you can start moving forward? So basically, it takes about six weeks, four to six

13:08weeks. We're trying to cut that time back a little bit. Now that we have the procedures in place and

13:13we know how to do, we've done a couple of them, a few of them. And as we get, we'll get quicker and

13:17quicker. As we put those procedures in place, it usually takes about four to six weeks. One guy,

13:2240 hours a week welding off on a cab. But that's the hardest part of the truck, really? Basically,

13:27that's the hardest part. The front ends and all the sheet metal work, it takes the most time.

13:32Chassis, you can build in a couple weeks, you know. With this, it takes a long time to get

13:36everything aligned and actually fixing all the metal. And that's the most important part,

13:40because from what I hear, these trucks can be a bear lining everything together,

13:44because there is so much to them. Correct. And usually, there's so many pieces that you saw with

13:48all the boxes, there's just so many pieces that have to go together and they have to fit exactly

13:52correct. And before we can get to a final job like this, all of that has to be correct, right,

13:57tight, fitting like it's supposed to, working like it's supposed to, doing all those things,

14:01you know, to make it look good. Yeah. If you don't have those, then you've got a door that's

14:05sagging on a $300,000 car. No, that's not going to be good at all. I noticed that you guys are

14:10dual-purposing the original gas tank hull. What are you using it for? So we're using it as a charging

14:15port now. So we did have to make it bigger so we could get fast charging. We use all three chargings,

14:20you know, 110, 220, and fast charging. So we had to make the door a little bit bigger.

14:24It's actually magnetic. It's made out of metal, so it opens and closes, no plastic. Now, as far as the

14:30gauges in the dashboard itself, what kind of gauges do you use? So we've got a couple different

14:35companies that we're using currently. Dakota Digital actually does some of our gauging,

14:39and then we use a company called Speedhut that actually makes a gauge for us that's EV package.

14:44So it actually has, it registers for voltage and battery and power for that. And you know,

14:49that's what makes these trucks so cool is those popular names like Dakota Digital,

14:53Wilwood brakes, quick performance rear ends, all these components that you would normally find

14:58in a hot rod you're putting into these vehicles. And these are long, true, proven components that

15:05are going to last a very long time. So what we'll be doing guys in the next few weeks, actually 12 weeks

15:11here at Southfield Classes, we're going to be showing you guys the procedures they take to put one of these

15:16trucks together from beginning to end. You'll eventually see them being assembled. So make

15:20sure you come back every week to Sam's Garage and check out the Southfield Classic segment so you

15:24guys can be more aware and have a little bit more knowledge when it comes to high voltage vehicles.

15:29Sam's Garage is presented by NH oil undercoating is brought to you by the following companies.

15:43Welcome back to Sam's Garage presented by NH oil undercoating.

16:03With the 2026 Nopi Nationals approaching, an icon rolls back into the spotlight, the legendary 93

16:20Toyota Supra. Built in the late 90s, powered by a twin turbo inline six and born to dominate,

16:26we're bringing this classic back to life for the big show.

16:29All right, so if you guys remember last week, we got the misfire taken care of with the Supra.

16:36It was a bad trigger in the computer. That's all done. This week, it's about maintenance. We're

16:40going to replace those spark plugs. They're probably original. The serpentine belt's original and the

16:45time belt's original. But because that little symbol right there says Toyota, it's no problem.

16:50It'll probably still go another 10 years, won't it?

17:01So anytime you guys are going to do a time belt service and water pump, the first thing you have

17:04to do, of course, is drain the fluid. I went ahead and removed the bottom shield, drained the radiator.

17:09Before I took off the serpentine belt, the fan's got to come off. There's four nuts on the pulley for

17:19the water pump. Because the belt keeps everything in place, I can very easily loosen the 12 millimeter

17:24nuts with a wrench before taking the belt off. Then, when the last one is off, take the belt off, spin it,

17:31get the pump, pulley off, and the fan. Once that's off, the upper radiator hose, of course, comes off,

17:37then the fan shroud comes off. When the fan shroud comes off, you got access to everything in front

17:42of the motor. Before you remove the front cover, you're going to have to remove the crank pulley.

17:46In this case, the crank pulley is pressed on. So you saw me have Julie go in, twist the key,

17:52because I don't have enough room to put an impact wrench down there. Be very careful. Twist the key,

17:57put a half inch driver on it, put a breaker bar on it, or a cheater bar, and have her, or whoever it is,

18:03just bumped the key. So, went ahead and got the crank bolt off, took off the pulley, now I got access to

18:08the entire timing belt water pump area.

18:23Took off the belt, took off the tensioner, I went ahead and serviced my water pump,

18:27put a new one back on. When you reassemble, make sure that you put a new gasket on the water pump.

18:31Put that together.

18:41So, anytime you guys are doing a belt swap, always make sure,

18:44take your two belts, put them next to each other, and make sure they're the same length.

18:47And then, I put marks on my timing gear, just to make sure I can see them, because I'm getting older.

18:51Okay, you see I'm nice and tight on this side? Everything's good on this side, a mark, mark,

18:57I can go ahead, pull my pen. Once everything is cool, and you've cycled the engine a couple of times,

19:04and your timing marks are right back where they're supposed to be, go ahead and reassemble.

19:07Go ahead and button everything back up, making sure you've done a good job, everything put back

19:12exactly the way you found it, put the fan back on, tighten all your nuts, put your fan shroud back on,

19:18fan, put a new serpentine belt on it, and then go ahead and fill the coolant. When you're filling the coolant,

19:23in this particular case, you have to give it some time, because if you give it time, that water is

19:27going to flow down, and it's going to air and bleed itself. Okay, if you don't, these things have a

19:32tendency to overheat. The first time it overheats, it's going to fill the system, remove the cap,

19:36the air bubble will come out, refill the system, and it should be good to go.

19:45This is an iconic car. This is not just some random car that you go out there and you work on.

19:51So if you guys aren't capable of working on something like this, don't take it on. You

19:55know what I mean? If you're a Google technician and you're on Google and you're trying to figure

19:57out how to work on this, that's where you need to walk away, because you're going to cost yourself

20:00a lot of money, and you're going to cost the customer a lot of money as well. So do it right,

20:04do it once. Remember the old saying, I'm too broke to buy cheap.
