00:01Today, something unprecedented in Wheeler Duras France, because we're going to see the car in action.
00:06to restore the most expensive one in the show's history.
00:09And yeah, we're definitely starting with a Shelby Cobra made in the USA.
00:13This car has always made me dream with its DNA, its American heritage, its look, the
00:17With its wide wings and stubby stance, just by looking at it, you know it's going to take off and tear up the asphalt.
00:25The example entrusted to us by its owner is worth close to 400,000 euros and we are going to
00:31literally walking on eggshells.
00:33Yeah, at this price, the slightest mistake on our part and we might as well close the garage.
00:37There are still quite a few things to do on the Bicobra, like removing the gearbox,
00:40Overhaul it completely, check the carburetion, the front right axle, then the bodywork.
00:45And that, life, is something I don't know how to do.
00:46Dude, this is an insane opportunity.
00:48Okay, but 400,000 euros is still a lot.
00:50We absolutely must set this myth of the automobile straight.
00:52Both mechanically and aesthetically.
00:55The box is completely locked.
00:57All this with an extremely tight budget of 15,000 euros.
01:01This is not far from a kamikaze mission.
01:04I did check the price of a used box in good condition.
01:06Go ahead, it's still almost 5,000 and 4,000 liters.
01:08Yeah, it's a Cobra, that's normal.
01:10Parts are expensive on cars like that.
01:12My name is Thierry.
01:14I use my contacts to find genuine collector's items to restore.
01:17And in this exceptional episode, if I'm not careful, I risk losing my shirt.
01:23So, what's the price? Did we say 4,500,000?
01:254,500,000.
01:25Yeah, it's a bit of an exceptional price, but for exceptional work, for an exceptional car.
01:29And this is Aurélien.
01:31With his state-of-the-art tools, he's a true mechanical wizard, bringing even the most... vehicles back to life.
01:36tired.
01:37Even he feels the pressure.
01:40But this is completely unacceptable.
01:42There's a marble missing, actually.
01:44We need to have a small ball on this side, but also a small ball on the other side.
01:49And there, we can see that she has left.
01:50And so, the axis is completely free.
01:54A brand new season.
01:55A new mechanical challenge involving working on legendary collector's items.
01:58powerful monsters, prestigious roadsters,
02:02ultra-chic youngtimers or racing cars designed for the track.
02:05And with this Shelby Cobra, we have a real challenge.
02:08But if our mission is successful,
02:09We can meet at the legendary Spa-Francorchamps circuit.
02:12to also drive a GT40.
02:19But how does it work?
02:22Amazing.
02:23That's awesome.
02:42Ah, there are days like that when the planets are really aligned.
02:45You know, this kind of day would rather be nowhere else
02:48than where you are currently.
02:50Well, I'm exactly in that mood.
02:53And the reason, my friends, is right behind me, on the set.
02:56I'm bringing back the most exclusive car I've ever brought back to the workshop.
03:00It's a car from the competition, a Shelby Cobra.
03:08As a side note, Carole Shelby, its creator, was a chicken farmer.
03:12But as a passionate competitor, he sets himself a crazy challenge.
03:16Competing against Ferrari, Aston Martin, and Maserati on the track
03:19by designing his own car.
03:22So, he partnered with the English manufacturer AC, which was then producing a small roadster
03:26and fitted it with a very large V8 engine from Ford.
03:29In 1962, the Shelby Cobra was born, weighing in at less than a ton.
03:35and with its 400 limes, it becomes a real rocket.
03:38Just three years later, its creator's gamble paid off.
03:41by winning the GT world championship.
03:44Today, the original model is extremely rare and can fetch up to a million euros.
03:48But in 1988, Shelby relaunched production of its sports car
03:52by adopting the specifications of the Cobra of that era.
03:55And that's precisely what I have in my hands.
04:03This is called a continuation.
04:05In fact, this car was ordered and manufactured in 2014.
04:09strictly following the specifications of 1964.
04:13Can you imagine?
04:14All the parts were designed, manufactured and fitted to the car
04:17directly in the Shelby workshops.
04:21Okay, be careful because a car like that,
04:23It still looked like it was around 400,000 euros.
04:25Ah yes, it's not for everyone's budget.
04:26In any case, not for mine or Aurélien's, that's for sure.
04:29We would love to, but unfortunately, we cannot afford it.
04:31No, this one was entrusted to me by its owner, whose name is Philippe.
04:34He enjoys participating in historical competitions.
04:36And unfortunately, he went off the track and it badly damaged the Cobra.
04:40So, our mission will be to restore it,
04:42to restore his health.
04:43And between you and me, given the rarity and value of the vehicle,
04:46I really don't want to disappoint its owner.
04:50That dock, it's always made me dream, you know.
04:53Her DNA, the US, her face, her broad wings,
04:55It's squat, the width of the rims.
04:58Frankly, just by looking at her,
05:00You know she's going to bomb up and tear up the asphalt.
05:04Under the hood, there's a 289 CI V8,
05:06the equivalent of a 4.7 liter engine from our country,
05:08which develops 320 horsepower.
05:10But 320 horsepower for a car weighing less than a ton,
05:14I can tell you that it gives us better performance
05:16than some current sports cars.
05:21I understand that its owner really wants to have fun on the track.
05:24Unfortunately, there was a problem with the gearbox.
05:27which blocked the bridge,
05:28And so, he went off the track a little.
05:30It bent a suspension triangle.
05:32It completely damaged a rim.
05:34The front panel is badly damaged.
05:36And it must be said that this case is made of aluminum.
05:39So, since it's not badly damaged,
05:40In my opinion, it's not going to be easy to repair.
05:45In addition, the engine tends to sputter.
05:47It is not at its full power.
05:48So Aurélien really needs to get involved.
05:50Then you have to remember that on a Shelby Cobra,
05:52We have 4 large twin-choke carburetors.
05:55It's very specific,
05:56So the big guy really needs to deliver on this one.
05:58To restore it to competition condition,
06:00The owner gave us an envelope containing 15,000 euros.
06:03I can tell you that it's not going to be that simple.
06:05because on a car as exceptional as that one,
06:08Everything is extremely expensive.
06:09So we're really going to have to deliver too.
06:13But honestly, guys, I couldn't refuse.
06:16There are mechanics who would sell their mother
06:17to work on this type of car.
06:19I can just imagine Aurélien's face, he's not going to believe this.
06:22Seriously, even I can't believe it.
06:23We bring a Shelby Cobra to the outfit.
06:25Frankly, we can't afford to fail.
06:26It's good.
06:43Perfect!
06:44Thank you, Baptiste.
06:45Thanks, man.
06:52Thank you, Mario.
06:53Please.
06:57Yeah, yeah, I'm here.
06:59Hey !
07:00Oh yeah, absolutely.
07:01Yeah, man.
07:01In fact, we became millionaires.
07:03But you didn't say that, did you?
07:04No, I'd like to, but no.
07:05We didn't become millionaires.
07:07Okay then?
07:07A Shelby Cobra?
07:08A Shelby Cobra, my friend.
07:21I know you by heart,
07:22You're going to ask me the question.
07:23Yes, it's real.
07:24It's a continuation, actually.
07:26OK.
07:26A car that has been ordered,
07:27manufactured in 2014
07:28in the workshops
07:29In Las Vegas, at Shelby's place, no less.
07:30No, but wait, I'm hallucinating.
07:31This car is magnificent.
07:33But how did you see that?
07:34In fact, it was entrusted to me.
07:36Well, we don't have the same contacts.
07:37No, that's for sure.
07:38Okay, let me explain.
07:38Basically, he's a friend.
07:39You see.
07:39He has some very nice cars.
07:41You have a little bit of the equipment.
07:42He enjoys having fun on the racetrack.
07:43You see, he does historical races.
07:45Yes, I see.
07:46Unfortunately, there,
07:46He went out for a short walk.
07:48Is this for real?
07:50Oh yeah?
07:50Wait, that was a good hit there.
07:53Oh yeah, even the front, then.
07:54Yeah.
07:55The lighthouse, the light, you see.
07:57The bodywork is also a bit damaged.
07:59OK, the bodywork,
07:59It's aluminum.
08:01Yeah, and aluminum,
08:02It's not easy to fix.
08:03I know, I know.
08:04And the rim,
08:05She typed well too.
08:06Well, my friend,
08:06Did you see when it went back?
08:08and then the entire front end,
08:09The triangle, it's been looted.
08:10The rim, it's been looted.
08:11Finally, there is still
08:11A bit of damage underneath, that's all.
08:13But how did that happen?
08:15Listen, actually,
08:16He was out with his friends.
08:17To be honest, I'm not taking any.
08:18All right.
08:18He wanted to be demoted.
08:19Quite simply.
08:20And there was a moment,
08:21The gearbox jammed.
08:21So, I'll keep it quite short,
08:22the wheels locked
08:23And bam!
08:24OK, so the problem,
08:24basically,
08:25It's the gearbox.
08:26Yeah, the first view.
08:26And I imagine that the owner,
08:28I'm in charge of the box.
08:29You've got it all figured out, ah, man.
08:30Ah, that's pretty cool.
08:30But you know that there,
08:31We're moving up a level, after all.
08:32How much is this worth?
08:33400,000 bucks, man.
08:34400,000 euros, are you serious?
08:35Ah, of course.
08:36That puts on the pressure, though.
08:37It puts pressure on you, but wait.
08:39The guy confided it to us.
08:40He confided in us, however
08:41a Shelby Cobra.
08:42Yeah.
08:43Dude, this is an insane opportunity.
08:44OK, but 400,000 euros, still.
08:46Yeah, well, come and see the inside instead.
08:47Look at this,
08:48the small semi-bucket seats,
08:49just like back then.
08:50The hoop,
08:51the small wooden steering wheel,
08:52all the small chrome-plated ones,
08:53Dude, the Awakener.
08:54That's in keeping with the spirit.
08:56Sixties, competition.
08:56I admit, it's magnificent.
08:58It's good,
08:58And all of it in perfect condition, too.
08:59Yeah, it's mostly
09:00It's like new, absolutely.
09:02Wow, that must be impressive!
09:03to drive a car like that, though.
09:04Ah, yeah, that's for sure.
09:05Did you see that?
09:06Circuit breaker, fire extinguisher pull cord,
09:07It has everything you need
09:08to go racing.
09:09Well, I'll read it to you.
09:09The guy's a racing fan, you know.
09:11He loves competition.
09:12Okay, yeah, the race with that,
09:14When did it start or not?
09:15Ah, well, absolutely, yeah.
09:16Go ahead, do me a favor.
09:17So, wait.
09:18Here we go.
09:19Go ahead.
09:26They're singing, aren't they?
09:27That's insane, man.
09:32What a blast, my friend.
09:34No, but listen to this, seriously.
09:40Go ahead, speed up.
09:42Oh, oh.
09:44Dude, I'd listen to that.
09:45but all night.
09:47However,
09:48It's not running very smoothly.
09:50The landlord told me, huh.
09:51It doesn't hold its idle speed very well.
09:53At first glance,
09:53It lacks a bit of power.
09:55At the same time, already,
09:56There's the fuel pressure gauge there.
09:58Yeah.
09:58We should be at 5 PSI.
10:00We're down to 3, that's not normal.
10:01That's serious.
10:03Well, it's serious, I don't know.
10:04I'll have to take a look.
10:05In any case, it's strange.
10:06Because, clearly,
10:07She's not quite right in the head.
10:11Look at that, that beautiful baby.
10:12dude.
10:134.7 liters, 320 horsepower.
10:15Damn, look at those little rascals!
10:16I admit that the carbulas,
10:17But they're just enormous.
10:18However,
10:19I think the problem is with the idle speed.
10:20He comes from there.
10:21We're going to properly adjust the carburetors.
10:23a synchronization.
10:23And a synchronization on a V6,
10:25It's not easy.
10:25So, on a V8,
10:26with 4 double-bodied carbulae,
10:27THANKS.
10:28Well, me, on a V8,
10:29like you,
10:29I could have brought you back a V12.
10:31Oh yes.
10:31Yeah, well, anyway.
10:32Frankly,
10:33It wasn't easy.
10:34No, I know.
10:34Okay, and there's an oil leak too.
10:35at the level of the cylinder cover, there.
10:37What do you mean, an oil leak?
10:37Well, take a look.
10:38Oh, shit.
10:39It's leaking badly.
10:40Okay.
10:41Finally, you need to take a look at that too, okay?
10:43Okay.
10:43Because there,
10:43the guy did confide in us
10:44a Shelby Cobra.
10:45It's not for putting on pairs either,
10:47Do you see what I mean?
10:48So that's still important.
10:49Take a look, my friend.
10:50Okay.
10:50Finally, in the end,
10:51There are still quite a few things to do
10:52on your Shelby Cobra, what.
10:53Remove the gearbox,
10:54to revise it completely,
10:55fuel system problem,
10:57the front right axle,
10:58Then there's the bodywork.
10:59And that, I read it,
10:59I don't know how to do it.
11:00What kind of envelope do you have on that?
11:01I have an envelope containing 15,000.
11:0315-10,000 euros?
11:04Yeah.
11:04But can't you scratch the surface a little?
11:05Because it's right.
11:05Oh no, no, no.
11:06He won't give us a single extra cent.
11:08Ultimately,
11:09it's almost a challenge
11:09What does he give us, you see?
11:11Yeah, talk about a challenge.
11:12Then, the coins,
11:12It costs an arm and a leg.
11:13I know, man.
11:14A little surprise awaits us.
11:15Watch the video they sent me.
11:16I'll show you that.
11:17Jeans ?
11:25GT40 and Shelby Cobra.
11:27I hope, in fact,
11:28that will motivate you
11:30to work on
11:31my beautiful Shelby Cobra.
11:33Ciao, see you soon.
11:34He promises us he'll drive with that.
11:36Can you imagine?
11:36SO ?
11:38Is this a real GT40?
11:39It's a real GT40.
11:40And he's okay with us riding with him?
11:41He's happy for us to ride with him.
11:43Provided, of course,
11:44that we return it in perfect condition,
11:45this Cobra,
11:45and that we respect the envelope
11:47of the 15,000, obviously.
11:48Okay, good, let's get started right away.
11:50Now we need to get started.
11:51Can you find me a rim?
11:52Yeah.
11:53Faravant, flashing?
11:54Yeah.
11:54And most importantly?
11:55A good body shop
11:56who knows how to work with aluminum.
11:57Yeah, sir.
11:57And I'll take care of the rest.
11:59Ah, you need to install it too
12:00a Trip Master.
12:01He would like to do
12:01regularity rallies.
12:02He asked me for that as well.
12:03Okay, one more thing
12:04In addition, there's the installation to do.
12:05Exactly.
12:06Hey, do you remember
12:08of our promise in the end?
12:09Ah, don't worry,
12:10That's all I can think about.
12:12Okay, let's go.
12:13I'll attack right away.
12:18I admit I'm on cloud nine.
12:20Working on a myth
12:21of the automobile
12:21with the key
12:22an essay from another legend
12:23of the race,
12:24It's like Christmas came early.
12:26But before I could
12:26open my presents
12:27I still have
12:28a lot of work
12:29and an envelope
12:29to be respected of 15,000 euros.
12:32To begin with,
12:32I'll take care of it
12:33mechanics
12:34by removing the gearbox
12:35and find out what caused it
12:37the off-track
12:37of this Shelby.
12:38And I'm crossing my fingers.
12:39so that it is not
12:40A disaster.
12:41If I make it through,
12:43I could pass
12:44to the V8 engine tuning
12:45because as it stands,
12:46he does not develop
12:47all its power.
12:48Valve clearance,
12:49fuel pressure,
12:51synchronization of the 4 carburetors
12:52double body,
12:53I won't let anything slide
12:54so that this monster
12:56roar again
12:56on the asphalt.
12:57And then,
12:58I will not forget
12:59to make disappear
13:00the leak at the level
13:00of the rocker cover.
13:03Regarding the rolling stock,
13:04I have a damaged triangle
13:05to be replaced.
13:06SO,
13:07we will also need to plan
13:08to draw a parallel
13:09so that this Cobra
13:10regains a behavior
13:11incisive on the track.
13:13Brief,
13:13in mechanics,
13:14There is work to be done.
13:15But the aesthetic project
13:17is also significant.
13:18The superb bodywork
13:19aluminum
13:20is completely disfigured.
13:22We need to find
13:23a specialist
13:23to achieve
13:24this major operation
13:25of plastic surgery.
13:27Jerry,
13:27him,
13:28must find quite a lot
13:28of parts
13:29like a new rim,
13:30a turn signal
13:31or even a lighthouse.
13:32They too
13:33were not spared
13:34by going off the road.
13:35Finally,
13:36the owner
13:37wishes to install
13:38a Tripmaster
13:38to have a blast
13:39in a regularity race.
13:41Carefree,
13:42in our country,
13:42The customer is king.
13:43Especially if I can fly.
13:45a legendary GT40
13:46at the end.
13:47But before dreaming,
13:48I remain focused
13:49because a car
13:50at nearly 400,000 euros,
13:51that requires
13:52much more attention
13:53than a Twingo.
14:02For a car enthusiast,
14:04there are cars
14:05which are truly myths
14:06like the F40,
14:07the Lamborghini Miura,
14:08the Ford GT40
14:09and of course,
14:10the Shelby Cobra.
14:13Born in 1962,
14:15it was created
14:15by the tuner Shelby.
14:17She won
14:18numerous races
14:18prestigious
14:19and only 4 years later,
14:21They stopped production.
14:22Fortunately,
14:23Shelby has relaunched
14:24the manufacturing chain.
14:25This gave birth
14:27to what is called
14:27continuations.
14:29Cars
14:2999%
14:31faithful to the original model.
14:32The one that was entrusted to us,
14:33It is 2014.
14:35It was built
14:36at Shelby
14:37in Vegas
14:37and corresponds
14:38to the specifications
14:39from 1964.
14:41The icing on the cake,
14:42It is FIA approved.
14:43That means
14:44that we have a roll bar,
14:46circuit breaker,
14:47extinguisher,
14:48self-locking current
14:49heavy brakes,
14:50Short,
14:50everything you need
14:51to race.
14:52And on the engine side,
14:53here too,
14:53There's plenty to keep you entertained.
14:55We have a big V8 engine.
14:564.7-liter engine displacement,
14:57320 horsepower,
14:58with in addition
14:59a huge radiator
15:00aluminum water tank,
15:01a water pump,
15:02high bandwidth
15:02and obviously
15:034 enormous carburetors.
15:05All of that,
15:06The fact that this car,
15:07It is very prestigious
15:08and of course,
15:09It's very expensive.
15:10Besides,
15:11it's the most expensive
15:12that we've ever had in the garage
15:13since it's not worth much
15:14of 400,000 euros.
15:15In other words
15:16that I have no interest in
15:16to mess up the repairs
15:18and the first thing
15:19which I will take care of,
15:19It's the gearbox.
15:26Here,
15:26We have a 4-speed gearbox.
15:28By the way,
15:28very direct,
15:29very frankly,
15:30even brutal.
15:31That imposes
15:32to break down the movement.
15:34If that's not the case,
15:35Well, our box,
15:35It is worn out prematurely.
15:37Clearly, there
15:38you can see that when I try
15:38to shift gears
15:40The gearbox is completely jammed.
15:41It can happen
15:42when you have two reports
15:43which start at the same time.
15:44In this case,
15:45The gearbox is jammed.
15:46the rear wheels too
15:46and as is the case here,
15:48We end up crashing into the scenery.
15:49What I'm going to do,
15:50Well, there aren't 50 solutions.
15:52The gearbox needs to be removed.
15:53and take a closer look at it.
15:58I'm under pressure.
15:59but I'm super excited
16:00to work on this little gem.
16:02Let's go!
16:03I start by removing
16:04the sheet metal bolts
16:05under the chassis.
16:07Afterwards,
16:08It's happening from inside the passenger compartment
16:09to access the box.
16:11Out with the seats,
16:12gear lever,
16:14flying
16:15and center console.
16:18NOW,
16:19I'm getting to work
16:20to remove our drive shaft.
16:22I'm taking it very slowly
16:22so as not to damage anything.
16:24And to get the box out,
16:26It takes two people.
16:27So Baptiste
16:27comes to the rescue.
16:30You take the nose of the box,
16:32I'll take care of the back.
16:34We're taking it slowly.
16:37There, it has to come out.
16:39I have it.
16:41Great.
16:42Thank you, Baptiste.
16:48Here's our box.
16:49It's a rich mount
16:50four-speed.
16:51This box,
16:52she has the advantage
16:52to be very small
16:53and above all
16:54to be very solid.
16:55So that's ideal.
16:56to resist the power
16:57and to the cups
16:57of our big V8.
16:58She is also
16:59Made entirely of aluminum
17:00Therefore, very light.
17:02There,
17:03We have a problem inside.
17:04So we'll have to throw it away
17:05a quick look.
17:06And what is practical,
17:07that's because there is
17:07a small access framework.
17:11And to access
17:12at the heart of my box,
17:13It's not complicated.
17:14I just
17:15four bolts to remove
17:16and I can begin
17:17my inspection.
17:25And indeed,
17:26there are indeed two speeds
17:28which are activated.
17:30Necessarily,
17:32The box is completely locked.
17:34Is it by hand,
17:34I arrive by moving
17:35the forks
17:36To unlock the gears?
17:39OK.
17:40And this one,
17:41pressing on the fork,
17:44And there you have it.
17:46And then,
17:46NOW,
17:47the box,
17:48It is unlocked.
17:51On the other hand,
17:52you need to understand
17:53why I was able to pass
17:54two reports at the same time.
17:55And that,
17:56it should rather be
17:57a locking problem.
18:01But here,
18:02That's not good at all.
18:03One marble is missing.
18:04In fact.
18:06There,
18:06There's a problem.
18:08Normally,
18:09at the command level,
18:10we must have
18:10a small marble
18:11From that perspective,
18:12but also
18:12a small marble
18:14on the other side.
18:14And then,
18:15we can see
18:15that she has left.
18:16The axis is completely free.
18:17Because that's what's in charge
18:18directly the fork,
18:20two speeds
18:21were able to pass at the same time.
18:22The real question,
18:23Where can I find the marble?
18:26Every time,
18:27inside the box.
18:30Hopefully,
18:32I might
18:32to be able to catch it.
18:35Where is she?
18:36This marble?
18:39Ah,
18:40there,
18:40I have something
18:41who got stuck.
18:45OK.
18:46Here it is.
18:47that famous marble.
18:49It is not marked.
18:55This marble,
18:56It is indispensable.
18:58Here,
18:59So we have two axes.
19:01These axes,
19:01they directly train
19:02the forks
19:03who, they
19:04allow passage
19:04reports.
19:05We have an axis
19:06which serves for the first
19:07and the second
19:08and an axis
19:09for the third
19:10and the fourth.
19:11In the middle,
19:12we have a room
19:13which will be used
19:13locking mechanism.
19:15It comprises several parts.
19:18Hop,
19:18so we have
19:19two small marbles,
19:21an axis,
19:23a spring
19:24and a little man
19:25of prohibition.
19:26This is how it's done.
19:27Inside the axis,
19:29I put the spring in.
19:31Inside the spring,
19:33between the two marbles,
19:34I will therefore insert
19:35the prohibition man.
19:37And at each end,
19:39a marble.
19:41These marbles,
19:41they will come
19:42to start
19:43in the small gore
19:44Right here
19:45at the level of the axis.
19:46And that's it.
19:47which will allow
19:47the lock.
19:48I'm putting the whole thing back together
19:49and I'll show you
19:50How does it work?
19:52The mechanics
19:53on this type of model,
19:54it's really
19:55of watchmaking.
19:56If an element
19:56is no longer in its place,
19:58Everything is going off the rails.
19:58Once my marble
19:59in the right place
20:00I really hope so
20:01that everything will work.
20:02and there,
20:05NOW,
20:06we feel that we have
20:07a good lock.
20:08But above all,
20:09It's impossible
20:10to engage two gears
20:11at the same time.
20:12For example,
20:13I'm shifting into second gear here.
20:14Well,
20:15we can clearly see that
20:15It's impossible
20:16to move on to third.
20:18Because the little man
20:19locking
20:19which is located
20:20between the two marbles
20:21prevents the axle from rotating.
20:22To move on to third gear,
20:24first we need to go back
20:25at a standstill,
20:26free the guy
20:27which is located
20:28between the two marbles.
20:28and there,
20:29the speed engages
20:31No problem.
20:31Well,
20:32That's cool
20:32because it's a problem
20:33Settled.
20:34And above all,
20:34It won't have cost us anything.
20:36Yeah,
20:37The GT40 is mine.
20:52Now that our problem
20:53gearbox
20:54is settled.
20:55well,
20:55I will be able to
20:55I'm going to tackle the engine.
20:57Our V8,
20:58well,
20:59in the United States,
21:00that's what we call
21:00a small block.
21:01It measures 289 cubic inches.
21:04That matches
21:04with a 4.7-litre engine displacement.
21:06It's already a big baby.
21:07It's an engine
21:08which dates back to the 1960s
21:09with a design
21:10Quite simple.
21:11Unlike engines
21:12modern ones that have
21:13one or two camshafts at the top,
21:14there,
21:15the camshaft,
21:15It is located in the middle of the V.
21:16This allows you to have
21:17a very robust engine
21:18with a rather low diet
21:20since he takes
21:215700 revolutions per minute maximum.
21:23That,
21:23It contributes to reliability.
21:25The other advantage
21:26of this engine,
21:26that's what he delivers
21:27many couples.
21:28But for now,
21:29We have 2-3 small problems.
21:30We have a problem
21:31fuel pressure
21:32which is too low
21:33an engine that's sputtering.
21:34Brief,
21:35we have a problem with the intake
21:36and an engine
21:37who does not deliver
21:37all its power.
21:38In addition to that,
21:40well,
21:40I have a small file
21:40right here
21:41at the rocker cover.
21:43All of that,
21:43It doesn't hurt
21:44minor problems
21:44to have an engine
21:45in perfect condition.
21:46The first thing
21:47which I will take care of,
21:48that's our problem
21:48of fuel pressure.
21:50On the Cobra,
21:51Right here
21:52we have a manot
21:53which tells us
21:53live pressure.
21:55And then,
21:55when I turn on the ignition,
21:57hop,
21:58The pressure is mounting.
21:59It reads 3 PSI.
22:01Normally,
22:01we should rather
22:02to have 5 PSI,
22:03which corresponds
22:04at 0.37 bar.
22:06Fortunately,
22:07on our Cobra,
22:08we have a regulator
22:09fuel pressure
22:10adjustable.
22:11As a result,
22:11it should be
22:12a problem
22:12which will be resolved quickly.
22:14Contact.
22:17Heading to the engine compartment
22:19to let in
22:20Out of gas.
22:21It's simple,
22:22I'm playing with the small screw
22:22of the pressure regulator.
22:24OK.
22:25Just a little longer.
22:27And I check my pressure gauge.
22:30And there you have it.
22:31there,
22:31I am at 5.
22:32Come on,
22:32I tighten.
22:38Perfect.
22:39Fuel pressure,
22:40It's settled.
22:41NOW,
22:41I'll take care of it
22:42of my escape
22:43at the rocker cover
22:44and above all
22:45I'm going to check
22:46valve clearance.
22:49I still can't believe it
22:51that we were entrusted
22:51a car
22:52which costs not far
22:53of 400,000 euros.
22:54We have an interest
22:55to live up to expectations.
22:56That would make her look bad
22:57to return to its owner
22:58a Shelby Cobra
22:59with an oil leak
23:00or an engine
23:01which lacks power.
23:02And here's my joint.
23:05Clearly,
23:05It's not in great condition.
23:07And we can see it clearly right here
23:08the place where I had the leak.
23:11Good,
23:11And that,
23:12It needs to be replaced.
23:14NOW,
23:15I can take it apart
23:15the other side.
23:17To do things perfectly,
23:19I also want to replace
23:20the gasket of the second rocker cover.
23:22He is likely to be in the same condition
23:23that the first
23:24in the near future.
23:25But first,
23:25I'll take care of it
23:26rocker arm problem.
23:30NOW,
23:31I have sufficient access
23:32in order to be able to do
23:32my valve clearance.
23:34Here,
23:34we have all the parts
23:35from the top of the engine.
23:36We have the stems
23:37to the rocker arms,
23:38above,
23:38rocker arms
23:39and on the other side,
23:40Right here
23:41valve springs
23:42with inside
23:43the valves.
23:44All these pieces,
23:45when they begin to move,
23:47they will heat up
23:47and therefore expand.
23:49Notably,
23:50the valve stem,
23:51the rod that holds the valve.
23:53By expanding,
23:54So she will lie down.
23:55That's why
23:56that the valve clearance needs to be adjusted.
23:57To compensate
23:58the fact that this valve stem
23:59lengthens.
24:00If I haven't planned
24:01enough games
24:01or space
24:02between my valve stem
24:04and my rocker arm,
24:05what will happen
24:06that's the valve
24:07it won't close properly.
24:09She will always
24:10a little bit open.
24:11I'm going to be lacking something
24:11compression
24:12inside my engine
24:13and therefore a loss of power.
24:15Conversely,
24:16if I've put too much play
24:17between my valve
24:18and my rocker arm,
24:20the valve
24:20will not open completely.
24:22As a result,
24:23I'm going home
24:23less mixing
24:24to the essence
24:24inside my engine
24:25and here too,
24:26I will experience a loss of power.
24:27In addition to that,
24:28If I have too much play,
24:29when my rocker arm
24:30will come and hit the valve
24:32He's going to slam it.
24:33It will create a little noise
24:34but above all,
24:35that might wear out
24:36the valve stem
24:37and the rocker arm.
24:38That's why
24:38that needs to be done regularly
24:39valve clearance.
24:40And on our Cobra,
24:41It's not complicated.
24:43The value,
24:43it is directly indicated
24:45on the rocker cover.
24:46We have 0.18 inches
24:47upon admission
24:48and 0.18 inch
24:49at the exhaust.
24:50That corresponds to 0.45 mm.
24:54SO,
24:54my set of wedges,
24:55the key
24:55here we go.
24:57To make the adjustment,
24:59I loosen
24:59the locking screw
25:00and I insert
25:01my 0.45 shim
25:02to measure space
25:04between the valve stem
25:05and the rocker arm.
25:06If the wedge doesn't fit,
25:08It's because there isn't enough play.
25:09And if she passes without touching,
25:11The problem is that there are far too many of them.
25:12So it's in joint
25:13with the adjustment screw
25:14of the rocker arm
25:15that I will get
25:16the space recommended by Shelby.
25:18Obviously,
25:18on our V8,
25:19There is an order to be followed.
25:21I start by settling
25:22cylinder number 1.
25:23First, regarding admissions,
25:25then the exhaust side.
25:26Afterwards,
25:27Now it's the cylinder's turn
25:28number 8, admission side,
25:29then from cylinder number 5
25:31exhaust side.
25:32Yes, indeed.
25:32Things are getting complicated.
25:34So I'm taking my time
25:35to do things properly.
25:36I really want to
25:37to return to its owner
25:38a Shelby Cobra
25:39in perfect health.
25:41This time,
25:42valve clearance
25:43It's good.
25:44NOW,
25:45I can go back
25:45my rocker covers
25:46with new seals
25:47and then
25:48I could pass
25:48to synchronization
25:49carburetors.
25:51I start by applying
25:52neoprene glue
25:53on one of the faces
25:54from my cork joints,
25:55then on the joint plane
25:57of my rocker covers
25:58in order to have
25:58optimal sealing.
26:03And for only 45 euros
26:05the two new seals,
26:06we would have been wrong
26:06to deprive oneself of it.
26:11That's over.
26:13I'll be able to keep myself busy
26:13of our idling problem.
26:15And for that,
26:15I'm going to do the synchronization
26:16carburetors.
26:18And first and foremost,
26:19I'm removing the filters.
26:208 in total.
26:23On our V8,
26:24we don't have one,
26:25but 4 carburetors.
26:27And what's more,
26:28They are Weber twin-choke carburetors.
26:30In the early 1960s,
26:31which means Weber double-bodied,
26:32said high-performance engine.
26:34And then,
26:34They are 48 mm in diameter.
26:37That's just huge.
26:38I can tell you
26:38that with that,
26:39our 4.7 litre,
26:40He has something to breathe.
26:42Nevertheless,
26:42We have a small problem.
26:43Our car,
26:44She's ratatouille.
26:45And above all,
26:46she has a slow motion
26:46really unstable.
26:47I think we have
26:48a synchronization problem.
26:50Synchronization
26:50carburetors,
26:51that's the fact
26:52than the carburetors
26:53they all accelerate at the same time,
26:54in the same way,
26:55at the same time.
26:56Bulk,
26:57that the shutters
26:58which are located inside
26:58be exactly
26:59in the same position.
27:01And for that,
27:01Of course,
27:02We have a small adjustment screw.
27:04But above all,
27:05we have a tool
27:05very specific
27:06to help us.
27:08This tool,
27:09well,
27:09It's a depression gauge.
27:11It looks like this.
27:12The idea,
27:13well,
27:13it's going to be about measuring
27:14depression
27:15in every body.
27:16Bulk,
27:17in each of the cylinders.
27:19Because having
27:19full of carburetors,
27:21this allows our engine
27:22to breathe properly.
27:23And the downside,
27:24that's because it has always
27:24tendency to become unbalanced.
27:26What I'm going to do,
27:27I will position
27:28my depression gauges
27:28like that,
27:30just above
27:30corneas.
27:31And then,
27:32I'm going to measure
27:33on all carburetors
27:34to see if I have
27:35the same value
27:35which must be understood
27:36between 12 and 16.
27:38Come on,
27:39I'm starting
27:39and we look
27:40that's what it looks like.
27:42OK.
27:44This value,
27:45It is given in bars.
27:47We'll see right away
27:48if we're within the rules
27:49by checking the pressure
27:50in each of the carburetors.
27:51Good,
27:51there,
27:52I am well
27:52between 12 and 16.
27:56Here,
27:56It's the same.
27:57around 14.
28:01Ah,
28:02bulk,
28:02on this carburetor,
28:03There's a problem.
28:04There,
28:05we are rather
28:05between 8 and 12.
28:08Over there,
28:09It's good.
28:09Good,
28:10well,
28:10the problem comes
28:11of that carburetor.
28:12What I'm going to do,
28:13it's simply
28:14play on the small bush
28:15which is right here.
28:20It doesn't seem like much,
28:22but you mustn't have
28:23the hand too heavy.
28:24I'm taking it slowly.
28:25until reaching
28:26the right value.
28:27And there you have it.
28:28I am between 12 and 7.
28:34There,
28:34NOW,
28:35We can only hear it in slow motion.
28:36It is very stable.
28:37And above all,
28:41we have an acceleration
28:42Quite frankly.
28:46I have an engine
28:47which runs perfectly
28:48who takes her turns well
28:49and above all
28:50which has a slow motion
28:50very stable.
28:51It's a matter
28:52carried out smoothly.
29:04While Aurélien
29:05handles the mechanics
29:06of our Shelby Cobra,
29:07well,
29:07Me,
29:07I'll try to keep myself busy
29:08to find
29:08the elements
29:09which were damaged
29:10during the impact.
29:11I remind you
29:11that the owner
29:12took a slight detour.
29:14In this case,
29:14We need a turn signal.
29:15we need a lighthouse
29:16passenger side
29:16and a rim.
29:17Besides,
29:17I'm going to start
29:18through the rim.
29:19SO,
29:20rim,
29:21Cobra Shelby
29:22what there is
29:23quite unusual
29:24with the Cobra,
29:25that's because it's the car
29:25which has been copied the most
29:26in the world.
29:27That's what it's called
29:28replicas.
29:29Since the 1960s,
29:30There are 150 manufacturers
29:32who have embarked
29:33in this adventure.
29:34SO,
29:34at one point,
29:35at the time,
29:36to pay for Cobras.
29:36Not too expensive.
29:37one could say,
29:38But unfortunately,
29:38It flooded this market
29:40of parts
29:40who were not faithful
29:41originally.
29:42I'll remind you, though.
29:43than ours,
29:44It's a continuation.
29:45so it's a real one
29:46Shelby Cobra
29:46which is manufactured
29:47in Las Vegas
29:47in their factories.
29:48It's a car
29:49which is still worth
29:50around 400,000 euros.
29:51So there,
29:51Frankly,
29:52if we want to remain faithful
29:53originally,
29:54we need to find
29:55the right rim.
29:56Like that one,
29:56here, for example,
29:57we have the Alibante brand
29:59which offers a rim
30:00in 15 inches.
30:02SO,
30:02They are very beautiful.
30:03but it's a remanufactured item.
30:04And that's not what interests me.
30:07I feel that it can't be
30:08This story is simple.
30:09anyway.
30:10I can still see myself
30:10Speaking ill of the owners
30:11listen,
30:12We couldn't find your rim.
30:12What.
30:13Frankly,
30:13He's not going to take it well.
30:15Ah,
30:16I might have something.
30:18I have an Alibante rim
30:20in 15 inches.
30:21That's the right one.
30:22Yes, perfect.
30:23She looks like she
30:23in good condition.
30:26No shocks,
30:27No scratches.
30:29OK.
30:30And regarding price,
30:30What do we have?
30:31It's in the United States,
30:32So we're at $600.
30:33$600,
30:34if I count
30:34with transport,
30:36entry fees and everything,
30:37That'll cost around 700 euros.
30:39It's still okay though
30:40The rim is expensive, isn't it?
30:43Well, at the same time,
30:43She is very beautiful
30:44and I feel like I don't have
30:45There really is a choice.
30:45In my opinion,
30:46I'm going to send a message
30:48directly.
30:49I don't want to
30:50that it doesn't slip through my fingers.
31:05when the owner
31:06of our Cobra
31:07went off the road,
31:08it damaged
31:09the front panel.
31:10But it also
31:11damaged
31:11the rolling stock.
31:12We can see
31:12that the rim
31:13is completely folded
31:14And in my opinion,
31:15the triangle
31:15which is behind,
31:16him too.
31:17It was damaged.
31:17it could have
31:18serious consequences
31:19on security.
31:20As a result,
31:21We're going to replace it.
31:22I will therefore file
31:23the wheel
31:23and then
31:24to explain
31:25the role of the triangle.
31:26As on many
31:27of racing cars,
31:29the wheels of our Cobra
31:30are maintained
31:30by a central butterfly
31:32and remove themselves
31:33with a specific key.
31:36To be removed,
31:37it's much faster
31:38than regular nuts.
31:45Our Cobra,
31:46it conforms
31:47to a 1964 model.
31:48That means
31:49Regarding the suspension,
31:50It's rather archaic.
31:51Down,
31:52We have our triangle.
31:53Him,
31:53it is fixed directly
31:54to the chassis
31:55and on the other side
31:56to the hub carrier.
31:57Up,
31:57to maintain
31:58the hub carrier,
31:59here,
31:59no spring.
32:00No,
32:00it's directly
32:01a spring blade
32:02which is positioned
32:03across
32:04in the middle of the car.
32:05And of course,
32:06in the middle,
32:06We have our shock absorber.
32:08The triangle,
32:08It is therefore an essential piece
32:10since it is him
32:11which holds the wheel.
32:12And if it is slightly deformed,
32:14My wheel will be poorly positioned.
32:15So I will have
32:16very poor road handling.
32:17Clearly,
32:18on a car
32:18at 400,000 euros,
32:19We must not take any risks.
32:21I'm going to place this triangle
32:22and I'm going to replace it
32:23by a new one.
32:28I start by removing
32:29the wheel hub
32:30then the shock absorber.
32:32Just a few more screws
32:33who maintain
32:33our triangle on the chassis
32:34And I can take it out.
32:37Well, you
32:38We're good at changing you.
32:40And if, up until now,
32:41we were doing well
32:42with our envelope
32:43of 15,000 euros,
32:44the 700 euros for the triangle
32:45reminded me
32:47in which category
32:48we find ourselves in the car
32:49with this Shelby Cobra.
32:50Fortunately,
32:51It's the only piece of the train
32:52which was damaged.
32:53The rest of the structure
32:54is intact.
32:55Okay,
32:56The triangle was assembled,
32:58It's very tight.
32:59NOW,
33:00All I have to do now is put
33:00a little bit of grease
33:01at the grease fittings
33:02and I would be done
33:03for rolling stock.
33:05For that,
33:05I use it directly
33:06a grease pump
33:07to guarantee
33:08optimal lubrication
33:10and avoid hot spots
33:11over time.
33:12I clip on the tip
33:13on the triangle
33:14And I pump.
33:18And there you have it.
33:19NOW,
33:20we have a triangle
33:20in perfect condition.
33:22I will have nothing left
33:22than to make a good parallelism
33:24but we still need
33:24Jerry needs to find me a rim.
33:42SO,
33:42Where is the big one?
33:43I am here.
33:46Oh well,
33:47I see that he dares to say it.
33:48Wait,
33:48I am reading
33:48a little book
33:49about the life of Carole Shelby.
33:51You know that at the beginning,
33:51He was a chicken farmer.
33:53You,
33:53Have you read the book?
33:54the only thing you remember,
33:55Is this a story about chickens?
33:56No, but wait,
33:56anyway,
33:57You're a chicken farmer,
33:58You become a car manufacturer,
33:59Shelby manufacturer, no less.
34:01That's quite an unusual story.
34:02Yeah,
34:02I'll tell you something,
34:03You're not ordinary either.
34:04as a guy.
34:04That's not good.
34:05Good,
34:05take a look
34:05what I brought back for you.
34:06I found you a rim
34:06in the United States,
34:07my poet.
34:08Look at this.
34:08Canon!
34:09She is beautiful.
34:09Good,
34:10Still, 700 bucks
34:10including pork costs and everything.
34:12Necessarily,
34:12It's not cheap.
34:12Yeah,
34:13But you saw,
34:13It's in good condition, that's all.
34:14Yeah,
34:14on the other hand,
34:14That's a problem.
34:15What do you mean, a problem?
34:16Well,
34:16She is polite.
34:17The notes,
34:17They are raw.
34:19Oh yeah,
34:19It's not going to be pretty.
34:21I might have it sandblasted then.
34:23Oh yeah.
34:23Like that,
34:23It's absolutely perfect, like nothing else.
34:24You see.
34:24Yeah,
34:25That's the solution.
34:26That might be good
34:26to sand the four,
34:27It's not going to be pretty.
34:28It should be homogeneous,
34:28You see.
34:29You might be right,
34:30I'm having all four sandblasted.
34:31We agree?
34:31What else did you bring me?
34:32Small, excellent headlight.
34:33Okay,
34:34lighthouse,
34:35banding.
34:36The small turn signals are perfect too.
34:37brand new,
34:37You see.
34:38But you've actually figured it all out.
34:39Yeah, good.
34:39It's what ?
34:40It reduces the Trip Master to what it actually needs to be found.
34:41That's great.
34:41It's okay, right?
34:43Good,
34:43And you there,
34:43because of your chicken stories,
34:44It's good,
34:45but the gearbox,
34:45It's free.
34:46The gearbox,
34:46it's done.
34:47I dropped it off.
34:48I opened it
34:49And I was right.
34:49There were indeed two reports
34:50to engage at the same time.
34:51Actually,
34:51It's the little prohibition man
34:52which was causing a problem.
34:54Little man,
34:54Was it a guy who caused trouble in the club?
34:56No,
34:56the little man,
34:56That's the name of the play.
34:57It's now
34:57and that a small ball comes out
34:58and the marble,
34:59She went out.
34:59She fell into the box.
35:00It's called a little man.
35:01Yes, indeed.
35:02That's the name of the play.
35:02Are you telling me
35:03So all that was needed was to reposition the ball then?
35:04Well, that's it.
35:05I put everything back together,
35:06I put the ball back in place
35:06And the box works.
35:07As a result ?
35:08As a result,
35:09That's rather good news.
35:10I'll tell you something,
35:10I looked at a used box
35:11in good condition
35:12because there are almost 5000 bucks,
35:13It's 488.
35:14Oh yeah?
35:15Oh, can you imagine the cost in the envelope?
35:16Yeah,
35:17It's certain that it cost less.
35:18than the repair of the triangle.
35:20Ah,
35:20that's to say ?
35:20Ah, the triangle,
35:21700 euros.
35:22700 bucks, though?
35:23Oh yeah,
35:23But it's a cobra.
35:24That's normal.
35:25Oh shit,
35:25The parts are expensive.
35:26on crates like that.
35:27Yeah.
35:27Good,
35:27On the other hand,
35:28I also worked on the engine.
35:29Come and see.
35:29Ah,
35:29Tell me.
35:31Leakage problems,
35:32It's over.
35:33We changed both seals
35:34rocker cover
35:35And I took advantage of it.
35:36I made a little game
35:36with the valves as well.
35:37And I also took care of
35:39carburetor adjustment.
35:40Ah,
35:40Is it running perfectly now?
35:41No, but it runs really well.
35:42Do you want to hear it?
35:43It's serious that I hear it.
35:44You've spoiled it,
35:44Go ahead.
35:47Are you ready?
35:47Yeah,
35:48Go ahead.
35:51In slow motion?
35:53Oh yeah!
35:56Nickel,
35:56You've got a boss, man.
35:58What did you just say?
35:59I misheard.
36:00You heard perfectly well,
36:01You have a boss.
36:02Good,
36:02I can take it
36:02at the body shop,
36:03So, are we good now?
36:03She is ready.
36:04However,
36:05to charge it,
36:05It's a nightmare.
36:06So you do 100 months.
36:07I have a book to finish,
36:08You see?
36:08Yohan,
36:09He does it really well.
36:09Don't worry.
36:10Good,
36:11Are you bringing back the tray?
36:14So far,
36:15I came out of it alright
36:16with mechanics
36:17on our Shelby.
36:18Starting with its gearbox.
36:19I put it back in place
36:20the missing bie
36:21of the locking system
36:22and there is no longer any risk
36:23to pass two reports
36:24at the same time
36:25and therefore to block the bridge.
36:27Regarding budget,
36:28We were really hot!
36:28with this box.
36:29I also spent
36:30quite a bit of time
36:31on the engine
36:32of our American.
36:33I solved the problem
36:34of fuel
36:34by synchronizing
36:36the four carburetors
36:36dual body
36:37and I made a precise adjustment
36:39valve clearance,
36:40fuel pressure
36:41and I also replaced
36:42the joints
36:42of the two rocker covers.
36:44Our V8 now has
36:45a slow motion
36:46perfectly stable
36:46and above all he found
36:48all its power.
36:49Which guarantees
36:50to our racing car
36:51optimal performance
36:52on the track.
36:53I also replaced
36:54the damaged triangle
36:54of the front axle.
36:55At 700 euros each,
36:56we can say
36:57that the owner
36:58He hadn't missed his chance.
36:59And when our Shelby Cobra
37:00will have been entitled
37:01to a parallelism,
37:02she will be again
37:02like on rails.
37:04But we're still a long way off.
37:04to have completed our mission.
37:06This is the vehicle
37:07the most expensive
37:07that we have ever had
37:08at the workshop
37:08and we're in a car
37:10to nearly 400,000 euros.
37:11We really don't have
37:12the right to make mistakes.
37:13We need to find
37:14a specialist
37:14capable of repairing
37:15the aluminum bodywork.
37:17And given the expertise
37:18that it requires,
37:18that might
37:19a hell of a hole
37:20in the envelope.
37:21All the more so
37:22that we still need to do
37:23sand our 4 legs,
37:24find a vintage Tripmaster
37:25and it will be necessary
37:26that I install the elements
37:27that Jerry brought back for me.
37:29Nor so much a lighthouse
37:30and headlight bezel.
37:31Brief,
37:32there's still work to be done
37:32on this Shelby Cobra.
37:33But if the owner
37:35is happy
37:35from our work,
37:36I could make a dream come true.
37:38Driving a GT40
37:39on the legendary circuit
37:41of Spa-Francorchamps.
37:52Aurélien has already made good progress
37:53on our Shelby Cobra.
37:54We can say
37:55that the majority
37:56mechanical problems
37:57are settled.
37:58NOW,
37:58there's still quite a bit
37:59work
37:59before returning it
38:00to its owner.
38:01Notably,
38:02a major cosmetic operation
38:03at the level of the bodywork.
38:05Yes, indeed.
38:06its former owner
38:07went off the track
38:07and he has quite a bit
38:08damaged the front.
38:10The difficulty,
38:10It's that this car,
38:11well,
38:12It is not made of sheet metal.
38:13No, not at all.
38:13for weight gain,
38:14it was manufactured
38:15made of aluminum,
38:16this Shelby Cobra.
38:17So, as a result,
38:17It requires specific characteristics.
38:19for the repair
38:20aluminum.
38:21And I found a specialist,
38:22Hold on tight,
38:23He is in Belgium.
38:23His name is Freddy.
38:24I really hope so
38:25that he will help us
38:26on the repair
38:26of this bodywork.
38:30This car,
38:30it's still worth it
38:31around 400,000 euros.
38:32So we can't
38:33allow it
38:34if she is not
38:34in perfect condition.
38:36So I filed
38:37the car
38:37at the famous Freddy's place.
38:38He began
38:39paint stripping
38:40and there,
38:41Today,
38:41This is the fateful moment.
38:43where he will work again
38:44aluminum
38:44and give back
38:45the initial form
38:46of the bodywork.
38:47And I would really like to,
38:48really being there
38:49to begin
38:49of this operation.
38:51Come on,
38:52I'm eager to see that.
38:53We'll be there in 3 km.
39:10Hi, Freddy!
39:11Hello, Jerry!
39:12How are you doing ?
39:13How are you ?
39:13Everything is fine ?
39:14How are you.
39:14This is a great workshop.
39:16Yes,
39:16We're doing very well.
39:18Okay then,
39:18our Shelby Cobra,
39:20Where are we at with this?
39:20You made it ugly.
39:21a little bit more
39:22than she already was,
39:23Is that it?
39:24Absolutely not.
39:24No.
39:24I just stripped it
39:25to make it easier
39:26to start working.
39:27I suspect as much.
39:28There,
39:28we can see the raw wound
39:30and we realize
39:30What a mess!
39:31anyway.
39:32So,
39:32That's it.
39:33All right.
39:34SO,
39:34the goal of the operation,
39:35it's about bringing back
39:36in its original form
39:37the bodywork,
39:38Is that it?
39:38That's it.
39:39By heating it then?
39:40By heating.
39:40Aluminum needs
39:41to be a little warmer
39:43to be more malleable
39:44and not too much water
39:45so as not to stuff it
39:46or too fragile.
39:48And there you have it.
39:49So we'll start with that.
39:50And you heat that up, and then what?
39:51I'm heating the heat gun here.
39:53Ah,
39:53Quite simply?
39:54But,
39:54we could heat
39:55to the flame
39:55but here,
39:56Nothing has been disassembled.
39:57so we're not going to go too far
39:58risk damaging
39:59that which is not disassembled
40:00so we're going to work
40:01with the paint stripper
40:02which is already heated elsewhere.
40:03Let's go!
40:04Freddy begins
40:05by softening the aluminum
40:06by heating the metal
40:07with its heat gun
40:08and being very careful
40:10not to overheat
40:11because aluminum
40:12is a material
40:13much more fragile
40:13that the sheet metal
40:14and it might melt.
40:16Once the aluminum
40:17having become sufficiently malleable,
40:18serious matters
40:19can begin.
40:20Freddy straightens the bodywork
40:22using a pile
40:22and a hammer
40:23by going through the interior.
40:25Blows rain down
40:26And me,
40:26I only have one number in mind
40:27than 100,000 euros.
40:29I'm starting to sweat.
40:34Oh yes,
40:34It still comes back
40:35very quickly to its original form.
40:36So.
40:37The bulk of the impact,
40:38Let's say.
40:38That's it.
40:38I suppose that here,
40:39NOW,
40:39It's the finishing touches.
40:40which are more complicated to manage.
40:41It's more complicated
40:42to go and get it.
40:42In addition,
40:43there is a part
40:43which was welded.
40:45We can't see it here.
40:46Do you see that?
40:47And me,
40:48inside,
40:48I'm taking out the solder.
40:49Are you going inside?
40:50SO,
40:50it's a part
40:50a little harder
40:53to bring out again.
40:56For this third stage,
40:57Freddy uses
40:58a whole range
40:59hammers
40:59dedicated to the coachbuilder.
41:00I didn't know
41:01that there were as many of them.
41:02That's impressive.
41:05Freddy looks
41:06to master them
41:06to perfection
41:07And that,
41:08That reassures me.
41:10I'll look here.
41:11I'll look here
41:13symmetrically,
41:13But no,
41:14We have the same thing
41:15both sides.
41:16Me,
41:16sincerely,
41:16at a glance,
41:17It's symmetrical.
41:18I can't see anything.
41:18You have an expert eye,
41:19Of course.
41:20The only thing
41:21which shocks me now,
41:21That's the small crack.
41:22There's a hole here.
41:22That's what we're going to have to do
41:25as with every job.
41:26Are these the plans after this?
41:27Yes.
41:29To fill this ugly hole,
41:31Freddy uses
41:32aluminum
41:32like the rest
41:33of the bodywork.
41:34And he welds using TIG.
41:35which is particularly suitable
41:37for reactive metals
41:39such as aluminium,
41:40the manesium
41:40or titanium
41:41and allows work
41:42more precise.
41:46So.
41:46As you can see,
41:47it's not
41:47very academic
41:49For now,
41:49but the goal,
41:50It was about filling the gap.
41:51In any case,
41:52It's blocked.
41:53A quick cut with an angle grinder
41:54and then we'll be gone
41:55for night orders.
41:57The hole is plugged.
41:58but Freddy still has to
41:59sand the weld
42:00to try to obtain
42:01the smoothest possible surface.
42:03And it's not easy.
42:04A poorly negotiated move
42:05with the angle grinder
42:06and this is our bodywork
42:07aluminum
42:08which would be further damaged.
42:10I am not very calm.
42:12That's it, it's finished.
42:13We must...
42:15Oh yeah?
42:16To make it perfect,
42:16I say perfect.
42:17it's what ?
42:17A little bit of putty.
42:18A little bit of sealant,
42:19Quite simply.
42:19On the other hand.
42:20Is there?
42:20Does it need to be moved?
42:21Oh yes.
42:21Okay then, let's go.
42:23And if that can bring back
42:24to life the front face
42:25from our Shelby,
42:25I'm ready to push her
42:27all the way to Vegas.
42:28We have 400,000 euros
42:29in the hands
42:29and this Cobra
42:30must have an aesthetic
42:32Impeccable.
42:33It's absolutely essential.
42:35To remove
42:36the last imperfections,
42:38Freddy passes a blow
42:39grinder
42:39equipped with sandpaper
42:40with a grain
42:41getting thinner and thinner.
42:44A blast of compressed air
42:47degreasing
42:47and he can attack
42:48to the preparation
42:49mastic.
42:50This mastic
42:51aluminum-based
42:52is perfectly suited
42:53to our body shop.
42:54Freddy spreads it out
42:55in a thin layer
42:56across the entire area
42:57damaged
42:57of our Shelby.
42:59I'm really looking forward to it
42:59to see the result.
43:01But it's not
43:01for right now.
43:03Good,
43:03How long does it take to dry?
43:04Half an hour.
43:05Time for a coffee?
43:06The time it takes to drink a coffee.
43:06Time for a coffee?
43:07Come on,
43:07We've left.
43:11Break over.
43:12Freddy passes
43:13to the next step.
43:14He sands the putty
43:15by hand
43:15for a job
43:16precision.
43:19The goal?
43:20Obtaining a surface
43:21also smooth
43:22than originally.
43:25We still have
43:26to hide the car
43:27with a coat of epoxy.
43:28Yes.
43:29Drying tent
43:30and then plaster
43:31with a pistol.
43:33Oh yes,
43:33epoxy,
43:33coating,
43:34there is still
43:34Just a few more steps.
43:35Yes,
43:36a few hours
43:36sweating profusely.
43:38I'm lending a hand
43:39to Freddy
43:40for masking
43:41before application
43:42epoxy
43:42on the putty.
43:43Like the aftermath
43:44on the sheet metal bodywork,
43:45epoxy will allow
43:46to painting
43:47to attach securely
43:48and last longer
43:49over time.
43:50So,
43:51finished.
43:51Nickel.
43:54Good,
43:54If I understand correctly,
43:55there,
43:55There is drying involved.
43:55Yes.
43:56What's wrong with you?
43:56Do you have the plaster on afterwards?
43:57Spray-applied plaster
43:58to be placed after,
43:59Yes,
43:59then the posting,
44:00then the hiding,
44:01then the painting.
44:02And then there's painting,
44:02Yes,
44:03So there,
44:03It'll take you a few hours
44:04Again.
44:04That's it.
44:04I'm not going to look at you
44:05for hours,
44:05I'm going to let you get on with your work.
44:06Give me a little something
44:07phone
44:07when it's finished,
44:07i guess.
44:08Price,
44:09So, what's the current status?
44:09Did we say 4,500?
44:104,500.
44:11Yes,
44:11That's a rather exceptional price.
44:13but for exceptional work,
44:14for an exceptional car.
44:15Thank you a thousand times.
44:15for work.
44:16Give me a call.
44:17When is it finished?
44:18How are you,
44:18OK.
44:18Hi Frédéric.
44:19Perfect,
44:19Goodbye.
44:224,500 euros,
44:23I've never spent so much
44:24for unclogging
44:24with a little paint.
44:25At the same time,
44:25This is Michel Bicobras.
44:26And I'll tell you something,
44:27Luckily there are people
44:28who have this expertise.
44:30What are friends?
44:31I even have the time
44:31to go and make a run for it.
44:52It's really beautiful.
44:53The body shop did a great job.
44:56There is no longer any trace of impact.
44:57And in addition to that,
44:58The painting is magnificent.
45:00After,
45:00when dealing with
45:01to such a specific job,
45:02necessarily,
45:03It comes at a cost.
45:03And that took a good part
45:04of the envelope
45:05because it cost us
45:064,500 euros.
45:07I've done my calculations,
45:08We're still within the limits.
45:10There might be a way
45:11that the owner
45:12let us drive
45:13one of those supercars.
45:14But for that,
45:15we will have to respect
45:16100% of his requests
45:17and in particular
45:17that of installing it
45:18a Trip Master
45:20in order to participate
45:21to regularity rallies.
45:23The principle of the regularity rally,
45:25that's because it's anything but
45:26a speed race.
45:27What is needed,
45:28that's respecting
45:29a well-defined average.
45:30At the start of the special stage,
45:31the pilot has a distance
45:33to respect
45:33but above all
45:34an average speed.
45:36And the co-pilot,
45:36him,
45:37in the hands,
45:38He has a roadbook.
45:39On this roadbook,
45:40we have some indications
45:41management
45:41but above all, indications
45:42very precise
45:43over distances
45:44to browse.
45:45These indications,
45:46They are accurate to the meter.
45:47While our speedometer,
45:49him,
45:49It's within 100 meters.
45:50That's why
45:51that we are going to install
45:51a Trip Master.
45:53A device
45:54which allows measurement
45:54distances
45:55to the nearest meter
45:56and with ultra-precise accuracy.
45:58So it's certain,
45:59I could have chosen
46:00a modern model,
46:00digital.
46:01But I preferred
46:02an analog model
46:03as it was done
46:04at the time.
46:05This one,
46:06It cost me 700 euros.
46:07It's true that it is
46:08a small budget
46:08But thanks to that,
46:09we're not going to distort it
46:10our Cobra.
46:11And that's how it works.
46:13On the car,
46:14I have already installed
46:15the probe.
46:16Right here.
46:17It's a probe
46:17induction.
46:18Inside,
46:19We have a magnet.
46:20Afterwards,
46:21at the level of the brake disc,
46:22I installed
46:23a nut
46:24like this one.
46:25As a result,
46:26every time
46:26that the disc
46:27took a walk,
46:28So the wheel,
46:29well, the nut
46:30pass opposite
46:31of the probe.
46:32At that moment,
46:32the probe sends a signal
46:34up to the Trip Master.
46:35And then,
46:36the Trip Master
46:36knows that we had
46:37a turn of the wheel.
46:38NOW,
46:39I still have
46:40an important step.
46:41Knowing what distance
46:42is traversed
46:43by one turn of the wheel.
46:44And that,
46:45It's not complicated
46:45to measure.
46:46All you need is to have
46:47one meter
46:48and a marker.
46:52I position my wheel,
46:54I make a mark
46:55with a marker
46:55on the tire
46:56and the ground
46:56before doing
46:58a complete turn.
47:04All I have to do is measure
47:05space
47:05between the two lines
47:06and I get
47:07the distance
47:08with a turn of the wheel.
47:12203.5.
47:14Hop!
47:16Either
47:182035 millimeters.
47:20I just have to enter that
47:21in the Trip Master.
47:252035.
47:27NOW,
47:28All I have to do now is fix it
47:29and to plug it in.
47:31The Trip Master
47:32operates on 12 volts.
47:33So I connect it
47:34to food.
47:35And to fix it,
47:36I use adhesive Velcro.
47:37This avoids drilling.
47:38the dashboard
47:39of our Shelby
47:40to 400,000 euros.
47:41In addition,
47:42the owner
47:43will be able to remove it easily
47:44when he no longer needs it.
47:46And there you have it!
47:47A beautiful Trip Master.
47:49for its owner.
47:53NOW,
47:54I can move on to the finishing touches.
47:55And I'm going to begin
47:56by the headlights.
47:58By going off the track,
48:00the owner
48:01did not damage
48:02than the bodywork.
48:03The turn signal,
48:04the lighthouse
48:04and the right-side rim
48:05are also entitled
48:06a nasty blow.
48:07So Jerry ordered new
48:09directly from Shelby
48:10in the United States.
48:11And with shipping costs,
48:12It cost us 300 euros.
48:14It's not cheap.
48:15but little by little,
48:16she begins to find
48:18style,
48:18our American.
48:20And now,
48:21the fasteners
48:21for the rear trunk.
48:24These fasteners,
48:25they are often found
48:25on racing vehicles.
48:26It's an extra layer of security
48:28which allows to maintain
48:30the trunk securely closed
48:30in sporty driving.
48:31For both,
48:32It cost me 50 euros.
48:34SO,
48:34it's not a big expense
48:35to avoid a trunk
48:36which opens in the middle of a rally.
48:37All I have to do now is hand it in
48:39these wheels
48:39to our beautiful Shelby Cobra
48:40And I will finally be finished.
48:42Between the new rim
48:43imported from the United States,
48:44sandblasting
48:45and the set of new tires,
48:47we did have some though
48:48for almost 3400 euros.
48:49That stings.
48:50but this is the first time
48:51that we have a vehicle
48:52equally prestigious in the workshop.
48:54And the owner must
48:55be satisfied with the result
48:56if we want to work with him again.
48:59And there you have it.
49:00It's finished.
49:01And she's simply magnificent.
49:04When this Shelby Cobra
49:05arrived at the workshop,
49:06I was honored
49:07that the owner
49:08trust us enough
49:09to confide in us
49:10a vehicle of such value.
49:12And at the same time,
49:13That puts a bit of pressure on you.
49:14She had suffered
49:15a big front shock
49:15and many elements
49:16were impacted.
49:17And on a car
49:18at 400,000 euros,
49:19We have no room for error.
49:21But now,
49:21From a mechanical standpoint,
49:22Everything is settled.
49:23that from an aesthetic point of view,
49:24she is perfect
49:25with its beautiful rims,
49:26his beautiful painting
49:27and his little Trip Master
49:28for regularity rallies,
49:30I tell myself that with a bit of luck,
49:32the owner
49:33will be happy
49:33of our work.
49:34So I'm looking forward to it.
49:35to give it back to him
49:36because normally,
49:37I should be able to drive
49:39another one of his sports cars.
49:43That's crazy!
49:44We managed to get back in
49:45in the envelope
49:45of 15,000 euros
49:46that he confided in us
49:47the owner
49:48to hand over
49:49his legendary Cobra
49:50on the way to the paddocks.
49:51And for this small feat,
49:53we still had
49:54a few cold sweats,
49:55So let's take stock.
49:56Already,
49:57Aurélien solved
49:58the problem
49:58lack of power
49:59and unstable idle
50:00of our V8
50:01by adjusting the fuel pressure,
50:03the rocker arm game
50:04and by doing
50:05a synchronization
50:06carburetors.
50:07And it cost us
50:08zero.
50:09He also replaced
50:10the two seals
50:11rocker cover
50:12for an amount
50:12of 45 euros.
50:14Gearbox side,
50:15here too,
50:16We were lucky.
50:17Because the problem
50:18came from the marble
50:19locking system
50:20which had to be put back in place.
50:21And here again,
50:23It didn't cost us anything.
50:24For the new triangle
50:25of the front axle,
50:26On the other hand,
50:26It stings a little.
50:27700 euros.
50:28And we must add
50:29another 700 euros
50:30for a Tripmaster
50:31brand new.
50:33That's the mechanical side of things.
50:34But aesthetically speaking,
50:35this Shelby
50:36was much more greedy
50:37in expenses.
50:38You have to count
50:39no less than 4,500 euros
50:40bodywork work
50:42300 euros for a headlight
50:44with its rim
50:45and a new turn signal.
50:4650 euros
50:47for both attachments
50:48rear male
50:502400 euros
50:50new tires,
50:52700 euros
50:53for the new rim
50:53imported from the US
50:54and therefore no choice
50:56than to sandblast
50:57the 4 rims
50:57for 280 euros.
50:59In total,
51:00to restore
51:00this Shelby Cobra,
51:01we spent
51:02a little over 9600 euros
51:04and asked us
51:0526 hours of work.
51:07So we are largely
51:08put back in the envelope
51:09entrusted by the owner
51:10and his promise,
51:11to be piloted
51:12on the circuit
51:13of Spa-Francorchon
51:14aboard his racing cars,
51:15including the legendary GT40.
51:18I think that's it
51:18Recess time.
51:24Do you think he'll be happy?
51:25Who?
51:26Ben the owner
51:27of the Cobra.
51:28Philippe!
51:28Why wouldn't he be happy?
51:29dude ?
51:30You're still
51:30The car is badly damaged.
51:31No ?
51:31It's true that it wasn't a failure.
51:32Oh well then,
51:33when he will know the problem
51:34it was just
51:34of a small marble
51:35in its box,
51:35Plus, it didn't cost anything.
51:37It's true that for the box
51:37It cost nothing.
51:38but the rest of the pieces
51:39It wasn't cheap.
51:40Dude,
51:40we did respect
51:41the envelope of 15,000.
51:42They bring him back here.
51:43It's perfect.
51:51If he is happy,
51:52he might even
51:52we need other cars
51:53from his collection.
51:54You should see his collection,
51:55That's insane!
51:56dude,
51:56what you're going to see.
51:56Wait,
51:57I remember it.
51:57I saw the video.
51:58With the GT40,
51:59Do you think he's going to lend it to us?
52:00Listen,
52:01There's a good chance,
52:02which is a good sign
52:03In any case, already
52:04that's where,
52:04He's giving us a meeting.
52:05at Spa-Francorchamps,
52:06We're getting there, by the way.
52:07Hey,
52:07I can't believe it.
52:08At Spa-Francorchamps
52:09with a Cobra, though.
52:11I knew that
52:11You'd be going crazy.
52:13Hold,
52:13look at,
52:14We arrive at the entrance to the circuit.
52:16Isn't that just awesome?
52:17One last burst of speed?
52:18Come on.
52:24Hold,
52:25We've arrived.
52:25Guard,
52:26Philippe is here.
52:26He's waiting for us.
52:27Good,
52:27But wait,
52:27You put the truck there.
52:37But wait,
52:38It belongs to him.
52:38All cars?
52:38It's up to him.
52:39all of that,
52:39dude.
52:40Wow,
52:41impressive.
52:41That ?
52:41Oh,
52:42There are wonders,
52:42What.
52:43Crates of legends,
52:44What.
52:46It's a canoe,
52:47That.
52:49Hi,
52:49Philippe.
52:50Hey,
52:50Hi,
52:51guys.
52:51How are you ?
52:52I'm doing well,
52:52How's it going ?
52:53It's going very well.
52:54Yes.
52:54Hi,
52:55Philippe.
52:55How are you doing ?
52:56How are you,
52:58everything is fine ?
52:58Perfect.
52:59These cars are still
53:00Absolutely incredible.
53:01That's impressive.
53:02You have a ton of cars.
53:03No,
53:03But you have Cobras,
53:04You have GT40s.
53:06Come on,
53:06beautiful.
53:08He's a taquillé,
53:12Explain it to us a little,
53:12that one,
53:12What exactly is it?
53:13SO,
53:13as a result.
53:14That,
53:14It's a Shelby GT40 MK2.
53:16Yeah.
53:16SO,
53:17this is the model
53:18who is in the combination
53:20colors
53:21of the one who won
53:22Le Mans 66,
53:23So, a number 2.
53:24Yeah.
53:24But what exactly is it?
53:25Is this a continuation?
53:26It's a continuation.
53:27SO,
53:2795% of car parts
53:29which are compatible
53:29with the original.
53:30All right.
53:30SO,
53:30it was the same way
53:31than at the time.
53:32Which has been improved,
53:33That's the braking system.
53:34the cooling system,
53:36All right.
53:37And also,
53:37the ignition system
53:38to a career.
53:39Like that,
53:39there is a certain reliability
53:40anyway.
53:41We can drive with that.
53:42It's approved.
53:43and he registers me
53:44to drive on the road
53:45throughout Europe
53:45and in France.
53:47She is magnificent.
53:48I think we'll be able to
53:48Try it.
53:49SO,
53:49wait,
53:49first we'll go see
53:50the Cobra.
53:51Yes,
53:51that might not be a bad idea
53:51anyway.
53:52Come on,
53:52here we go.
53:53Good,
53:53Philippe,
53:54What do you think?
53:54Look at.
53:55But listen,
53:56Aesthetically, at least.
53:57No,
53:57but visually,
53:59Aesthetically,
54:00She's perfect.
54:01No,
54:01It can be done.
54:02No difference
54:03of tone,
54:05Everything is perfect.
54:06I have the impression
54:06in fact, that she goes out
54:07from the factory.
54:08The rivets
54:09They are very well put together.
54:11No difference
54:11thickness.
54:13Admit it,
54:13it looks
54:13that it has never been damaged,
54:14We agree.
54:16You know we went to see
54:16a true specialist
54:17aluminum.
54:18I don't really know
54:19You've found the right one.
54:19SO,
54:20We're talking about aesthetics.
54:20It's good,
54:21but also the train,
54:21because she was
54:22damaged though
54:22at that level.
54:23I changed triangles.
54:24I actually put
54:25a new triangle.
54:27Obviously,
54:27good geometry,
54:28that way at least
54:29We're starting again on a good footing.
54:29There is still
54:30Mechanics too.
54:31Ah,
54:31Well, yes.
54:31at the engine level.
54:34Actually,
54:34major adjustment
54:35of the carburetion
54:36with good synchronization,
54:37your fuel pressure
54:38that I also settled.
54:39You'll see there,
54:41it runs like a clock
54:42and above all
54:42She has her full power.
54:43you will be able to
54:43really enjoy it.
54:44Perfect.
54:45And the gearbox?
54:46There,
54:47we were lucky
54:48Even with the box.
54:49It's true.
54:50Actually,
54:50it's a locking dick
54:51who had jumped.
54:52As a result,
54:52There are two reports
54:53which had been triggered
54:54at the same time.
54:54I retrieved the garment,
54:56I put it back in place.
54:57The box is like new.
54:58SO,
54:58No parts need replacing.
54:59Exactly.
55:00And the envelope?
55:00There,
55:01the envelope,
55:01we're not bad at all
55:02precisely because,
55:03thanks to the gearbox,
55:04We saved a little bit.
55:05You gave us an envelope
55:06of 15,000 euros,
55:07we are more or less
55:07out of 10,000 euros.
55:08That's not bad.
55:09Perfect,
55:10Perfect.
55:10Good,
55:11we will think about it
55:11how to spend
55:12the 5,000 who remain.
55:14But we will find a solution.
55:15It's going to be weeks
55:16who no longer sleep there.
55:16Even at night,
55:17He's calling me about that.
55:18you promised us
55:19Something, at least.
55:20It's good ?
55:20Okay,
55:20You're mine and you're yours.
55:21SO,
55:21your car,
55:22It belongs to you.
55:23So good.
55:24Good,
55:24Go ahead,
55:24Shall we take a lap of the circuit?
55:25Yeah,
55:25Here we go.
55:26Here we go.
55:49This circuit,
55:50It's still legendary, though.
55:51That's incredible.
55:51deviations.
55:52And frankly,
55:53take a ride
55:54in this car
55:54here in Spa,
55:55friends,
55:56it's something
55:57Incredible.
55:58We are experiencing a great moment here.
56:01I can't believe it.
56:03we are taking
56:04the famous Spa meeting.
56:12SO,
56:13in terms of driving,
56:14So what does that tell us?
56:15It's rock'n'roll,
56:15I've already come to you several times
56:16with this car
56:17on the C-Suite,
56:18but I hadn't noticed
56:20that it was deteriorating
56:21because you get used to it
56:22in fact, through wear and tear
56:23a bit of the car
56:23and here,
56:24with the parts
56:25that you replaced
56:26and the corner bets
56:27that you have done,
56:29I'm really starting again
56:29the car
56:30like in the beginning.
56:34Aurélien,
56:34How does he have fun?
56:36But how does it work?
56:39Amazing.
56:40It's just too awesome.
56:43She's not pretty.
56:43the life ?
56:46Hey, it's catchy, isn't it?
56:47Yeah, yeah, very good.
56:48Oh, oh, oh!
56:50The top speed,
56:51How's it going ?
56:51Perfect, really.
56:52Awesome.
56:52We're doing really well.
56:54And regarding the train,
56:55Okay, do you feel good about it?
56:56Perfectly tuned.
56:58It drives perfectly straight.
56:59Yeah, really.
56:59It grips the road.
57:01It sticks.
57:03Perfect braking.
57:04If you tell me
57:05that it is better adjusted
57:05than before,
57:06that will be a pleasure
57:07to the adults, at least.
57:08I think she is.
57:09Frankly,
57:09I think she is.
57:21Well, you're not disappointed?
57:22We can say
57:23that the mission,
57:23She accomplished it, then.
57:25Mission accomplished?
57:26Awesome.
57:27Hey, glad to hear it coming.
57:38No, but, do you realize
57:39anyway
57:39of what we just experienced?
57:41Absolutely, my friend.
57:42Hey, you would have told me
57:4310 years ago
57:44that we were going to be able to drive
57:46a Combrane GT40
57:47at Spa-Prancorchamps,
57:48I wouldn't have believed you.
57:48Even me,
57:49I wouldn't have believed it myself.
57:50I'll admit something to you, though.
57:51No, but
57:52It's just awesome, you know.
57:53But that's incredible, my friend.
57:55This job,
57:56I could do it
57:56every day of my life, me.
57:57Ah, you know what?
57:58That touches me deeply.
57:59Ah, you're getting sentimental.
58:01Hey, I'm a bit sentimental.
58:02Sometimes when I'm with you.
58:03Yeah, I like it.
58:03Especially in a place like this, you know.
