My apologies for being late to this vid Mr. Sam. It's great to see you back with the boys, that's for sure. That orange sure is an inspiration for me. My oldest son has gotten his hands onto a 73 F100. Although he's had nothing but problems with it since he got it. The mane he got it from up in Oklahoma said it was "restored", which at this point has just become a running joke. Since that's the only thing that "running" about it. But it was his the first vehicle he bought with his own money. So about a year ago I took in upon myself, without his knowledge, to find and buy a rolling F-150 chassis. I also already owned a 96 5.0 HO engine and discussed it with the wife (Who's not his mother, she's his step-mother) and decided to give him that motor. So around last May, we sat him down and told him about all this. It's been awhile since I've seen a 29 yo man cry like that. But he's always going to be My Boy. Since I'm a retired mechanic, I've taken it upon myself to do a body off quasi restoration of his truck. I've got a pretty messed up back and am slowly losing the use of my legs. Not to mention that I'm in pain 100% of the time. So I told him I'm not sure how many vehicles are left in me. So now is the time for me to get this done. Although, unfortunately our house took a direct hit from an EF2 tornado back when hurricane Beryl came through. The house took a lot of damage and both my truck and the wife's Jeep were totaled. So now I have three vehicles that need a TON OF WORK. But hey, you are an inspiration Mr. Sam!! If you can get out and do all the things you do, as well as keeping up with Lawrence and the others. I think I can fix up my old truck, the wife's Jeep, and give my son a truck he can truly be proud of. Thank Sir!! From an old-ish redneck from E. Texas. Y'all be safe out there brother!! 🤠😎 My apologies for this being long winded and any typing errors.
The equipment alone is a dream "home" shop! I miss my old job simply for the fact I had access to the same equipment and experienced folks like yourself willing to teach a young buck. The cars are a whole other level of a dream!
Wow Mr. Sam I tell you what, you are like the Modern Day Chuck Norris, mixed with Macgyver. Just pure 100% Awesomeness. Love the Shop setup to ol buddy. Hope you have a great day.
Mr Sam, you are the most current Anerican sweetheart, you do so much more for us than you know. I've bought some of your product to just support you as an amazing man.
Thank you Sam, live watching your videos. You have so much knowledge to share. I would love to spend a week with you and have you teach me how to use those machines. I'm still young ( 58), so I think I would pick it up quickly.
Working my way along to be just like Mr. Sam when i grow up. Only 43 now, but had my own shop of some sort since i was 21. Never had to work for anyone since... sense of accomplishment and skillset are wealth 👌 🇺🇸
Thank you Mr. Sam for bringing us into your Shop. My father is a retired Machinist from years ago. He would show me the equipment and say " these machines have so many stories to tell". So do the people that operated them. 😅
This is awesome, Would love to see you working on cars. You have so much knowledge that most of us can learn of! And would also love to see the milling machines and other machines at work! Thanks so much for this video Mr. Sam!
I put a lot of hours in on an old Sioux valve grinding machine just like that, way back in my teens, in my Dad's auto repair shop. Ground the seats and knurled guides too. Valve job and a new carb @ 90-100K miles. Thanks for the memories!
I love the old school equipment. I know you can put out some accurate work on them just like a new machine. Some operators probably cant but you are a machinist!
Outstanding example of hard work and living right Sir!! By the way Sir, Sweet looking dice pencil holder! The one I made in shop class has been holding down my workbench/desk out in my shop for several decades..
Mr Sam, you have quite a wide variety of cars... I dont see a Caddy anywhere.. Gotta have a Caddy.. Those 472/500.engines do fit well in other older caddys as well... Keep the shine going my friend.
Awesome video sam ! Always enjoy picking up a new tip or truck from your videos as a fellow detailer from the great white north we can use all the tips and tricks we can get lol
Mr Sam. Sir you are a gem to this industry we love. Keep doing you brother. And u definitely got me interested in the new machine equipment product. I’ve jus come about a few items that’s gonna need that juice They rusty
Mr Sam, we all know a certain giraffe that could use one of those head surfacer machines 🤣 And you could say the same about paint and body guys as detailers, we rarely take proper care of our paint either.
Nice shop Sam, it reminds me of my shop back in the '70s and '80s. I use the lathe and the Bridgeport a lot. From 1970-73 I raced dune buggies professionally at Ascot Raceway and we built everything on our buggies from scratch including making our own torsion bars for our custom suspensions. I built all our race engines and gave the old Bridgeport a workout cutting cases and heads etc for bigger cylinders, higher compression, bigger valve seats, chambers, and ports, etc. We had so much fun doing this with my machine shop teacher in high school. I had one of the fastest bugs ever on the street it ran a 9-second quarter mile at 140 mph in a full steel body, full stock interior, bug, that was my daily driver. Had to rebuild it every 5k miles but it won a lot of street races. No one ever saw a VW go that fast. It paid for itself. I am 68 now and still have some corvettes but nothing as fun as all you have there in FL. I hope one day before I die I get to meet you all. Right now I am taking care of my 96-year-old father who is bedridden so I don't have the time I used to have to enjoy building my old cars anymore but I really enjoy seeing what you and Cleetus are doing. I really enjoy seeing his planes and airfield as I have had a pilot license since 1983 and love flying too! Thanks to all of you for making this old man enjoy life a lot more. Take care and God bless you all for sharing all this with everyone out here.
i am 69 Years old and Sir, you are a true inspiration to so many people!!! I am so happy that you have the opportunity to be where you are, doing what you clearly love and having the opportunity to work with the people you do. I am truly envious of what you have achieved! Congratulations on a wonderful life!!!!
The first one looks like a 530 Vannorman and the red one a 570 Vannorman. I have both of those running in my shop now. Setup is slower then the newer machines but still makes a beautiful cut. My 570 i have converted to a rotary indexable cutter with a external super slow feed (3 rpm on feed handle) makes a 50 ra cut on aluminum with the cutters. Never trust the table always level the machine and level each head !
Wow Mr sam.. you got yourself a whole machine shop there! I wish back when I was still fully able-bodied, that I had all that stuff myself! Back in 2001 I work at a shop modifying cars and we had a dyno that we got to strap things down to and tune them with
My parents didn't have a lot of money growing up.. The house they were able to get was on a bit of land, and the original owner must have been a tinkerer. To get money off the house price,the basement wasnt moved out.. There were all sorts of bits for machining. I dont know the proper term so if I'm wrong, I apologize on the terminology.. All sorts of lengths,shapes and quality.From hardly touched to rusted...
Brother Sam, don't use that phase converter. Use a Variable Frequency Drive and in addition to converting single to three phase you will have INFINITE speed control with just the turn of a dial. It's far less expensive and will last for years. It's the way to go if you need to have motor speed control in addition to the phase converter.
100% this. The phase converters work, I've used a few for equipment in a commercial cabinet shop (rural area, no available 3ph at all, not just cost prohibitive, but flat out non existent in that service area, and prohibitively expensive to get the power company to set them up for it since they'd be the only 3ph customer in the area) But they're noisy, a separate piece of equipment to maintain/fail, which you get with a VFD but in a smaller package by far, with more usability, and more efficient.
That Sunnen valve grinder looks like the one I use to play around with while I spent my summers with my dad at a machine shop he use to work at when I was in my teens. I got paid to tear down engines in the back room that needed to be rebuilt. Now I wish I would’ve learned more about putting them back together.
Even as an adult if I wound up being your neighbor I swear I’d stand at the end of the driveway begging you to take me on for free. The things I could learn from you would be life changing. Thanks for the tour.. Have a great time up north if you are going with the boys.
Nice shop Mr Sam, you certainly have an impressive amount of interesting tools/machinery!.......You very quickly went over the 3 most eye catching vehicles, the El Camino, the Gran National and that Sonic Blue beauty. Each one deserves their own video😊 And my brother thinks I have too many vehicles 😂Ofcourse I do too, when insurance renewal time comes around😂😂😂
I don't know what else you could have shown the people. Thanks for showing us. Now hopefully you don't get robbed. Sometimes you just have to say no to people to protect yourself.
Id like to see a history video on your black 2000 model with the super high mileage that still runs great and some stories of things youve done in it maybe
Make sure you sell some of that steel polish to Kyle from the BoostedBoiz for his CyberTruck! Have that baby shined and polished up like its accident never happened! Love your shining optimism, positivity and smiles!!
Hey Sam , don’t know if you remember me but I used to work with you in Arden at Norton. My name is Audie McCall. Good to see you are still going strong . Miss the old days with Fisher ,Buckner, Price , Candler and the Carolina gang.
Pretty sure I Have a radio Sam, Give me a few days to look and I’ll let you know. I Worked in a Buick Dealer for a few years as a tech. Where’s the best place to send a picture of it and get ahold of you directly?
Hi Sam. Great video! A suggestion when recording would be to start the recording with the phone turned on its side. You'll get more of the area in the video shot. After all, we don't watch our TV turned on its side. Peace
I loved the video. I hate to mention this but I think the videos would be better if filmed in landscape aka phone sideways like Cleetus does. It fills more of our screens when we watch CZcams on a computer. Otherwise and of course, Hell Yeah Brother!!
Mr. Sam, please turn your phone on it's side when you film these. 🙏 It's soo much nicer for us fans who watch your CZcams videos on our t.v.'s .. ✌️
HOW ABOUT LETTING SAM DO WHAY HE WANTS AND JUST WATCH INSTEAD OF CRITICIZING HIM FOR HIW HE HOLDS "HIS PHONE" ! NOT YOURS
@@charlestorruella8591 take a breath.. im sure the person means no harm

"If it don't work, it don't stay here." Amen!
Mr. Sam, please teach those of us who don't know how to properly clay bar our cars.
Thanks my friend
You're awesome Mr.Sam. Thank you for the shop tour. I didn't realize you had all that machinery for engines including the Haas. We love ya bud!!👍☝💪🇺🇸

Thanks for sharing Mr. Sam.
that's a mighty fine workshop you have Mr Sam. I love it

Mr Sam, you are by far one of the coolest, and nicest guys on the tube!

Pheww! Look at those machines!
Especially the one behind the camera 😉😉
Thank you Mr Sam for passing on your extremely valuable knowledge and wisdom , something we all want and need in this ever changing digital age
I love the old school equipment. I know you can put out some accurate work on them just like a new machine. Some operators probably cant but you are a machinist!

Damn Sam, living the good life many men strive to achieve! I have a 2 car garage so far at 57, I have a ways to go.
Awesome video sam ! Always enjoy picking up a new tip or truck from your videos as a fellow detailer from the great white north we can use all the tips and tricks we can get lol
Mr Sam. Sir you are a gem to this industry we love. Keep doing you brother. And u definitely got me interested in the new machine equipment product. I’ve jus come about a few items that’s gonna need that juice They rusty
Great shop,I'm a Manuel machinist and it's great to see others use them too
I have the same bandsaw and have cut many railroad sections to make anvils with it. Great tool
Cool to hear about the oil product, ill be grabbing some for sure for my machines.
What a great shop ! You appear to have all that is needed. Very nice , and many thanks Sam.
Awesome shop ya got Mr. Sam! Hope to see you next week up in CT!
You got a lot going on there. I’m 58 and couldn’t keep up with all that, good job Sam👍
Mr Sam, we all know a certain giraffe that could use one of those head surfacer machines 🤣

Damn Sam you have a sick setup, some good old trusty and accurate machines. Keep the videos coming bro
This is a dream shop. Dude I’ve been working my whole life age 35 and this is my dream to have a shop like this.
As a retired machinist I love the Clausing Lathes!!!!
One of the best manual lathes ever made!!
You are living the dream brother.
You keep those machines as clean as the paint on all the vehicles. Good man.
That Bridgeport is an awesome old mill.

God loves you Sam.❤😊.Good man.!
Awesome shop Mr. Sam!
when do you sleep? between all you projects and time at McFarland Racing, then the grandkids you wouldnt have much time left
Living life to the fullest while I can!!
HOW DID I NOT KNOW THAT MR. SAM HAD HIS OWN CZcams CHANNEL! Subbed! Keep up the Good Work, Mr. Sam.
Had no idea Mr. Sam had his own channel...I don't think I've subscribed to a channel faster!!! Mr. Sam is the best!!!
luv the 64 camino. many years ago i had its twin. a friend still has it so i can visit it, but i miss that car.
Wow Mr sam.. you got yourself a whole machine shop there!

Your shop is one of my life goals.
Love the videos keep them up Mr. Sam.
You're the man, Sam!
Hi Sam, Very Cool Sir!! 👍🏼👍🏼. Enjoy your Weekend, thank You for Sharing.
Heck of a nice place you have there!
Hello Mr. Sam. Best wishes to you from the UK 👋 🇺🇸🇬🇧
It was a nice tour of your shop. A gearheads dream. Thanks for showing me around!
I love that old valve grinder. You can get good three angle jobs done on one of them. Plus sharpen bits real easy.
My parents didn't have a lot of money growing up..
The house they were able to get was on a bit of land, and the original owner must have been a tinkerer.
To get money off the house price,the basement wasnt moved out.. There were all sorts of bits for machining. I dont know the proper term so if I'm wrong, I apologize on the terminology.. All sorts of lengths,shapes and quality.From hardly touched to rusted...
Sam,you rock! ❤ Peace
Thanking for taking the time in giving us a shop tour!
great work Mr Same!
All the love from Australia
Nice shop and project car tour!

I would consider it a privilege to own anything Mr Sam had his hands on!
Shop looks great! Wish our shop was 1/2 as nice!
That Sunnen valve grinder looks like the one I use to play around with while I spent my summers with my dad at a machine shop he use to work at when I was in my teens. I got paid to tear down engines in the back room that needed to be rebuilt. Now I wish I would’ve learned more about putting them back together.
Awesome work love the videos
Great tour Mr. Sam, what are you asking for the ole chevy pickup truck??
Even as an adult if I wound up being your neighbor I swear I’d stand at the end of the driveway begging you to take me on for free. The things I could learn from you would be life changing. Thanks for the tour.. Have a great time up north if you are going with the boys.
Nice shop Mr Sam, you certainly have an impressive amount of interesting tools/machinery!.......You very quickly went over the 3 most eye catching

And my brother thinks I have too many vehicles 😂Ofcourse I do too, when insurance renewal time comes around😂😂😂
Nice shop and equipment!
Great shop! Maybe you can get cleeetus over and teach him how to deck a head , sure he's got plenty kicking about
Great video Mr.Sam
I would like to know about the time with Banjo Matthew's. He is a legend.
I don't know what else you could have shown the people. Thanks for showing us. Now hopefully you don't get robbed. Sometimes you just have to say no to people to protect yourself.

You forgot to show the shooting range! 😘 see you soon brotha!
Nice shop. Is this like a personal shop or is it a business? Surprised to see a haas in there. Nice machine, What all do you make with that?
Mr.Sam you have yourself a really nice shop! I love the valve grinder! I learned on the same kind!
Nice collection of machines. Thank you for bringing us in your shop😊
Pretty sure I Have a radio Sam, Give me a few days to look and I’ll let you know. I Worked in a Buick Dealer for a few years as a tech. Where’s the best place to send a picture of it and get ahold of you directly?
Thank you very much. If you are on Facebook or Instagram and could send me a private message that would be great.
Rock on Sam...! Thanks for sharing... Keep up your awesomeness and hope your right foot stays heavy...!!!
Hi Sam. Great video! A suggestion when recording would be to start the recording with the phone turned on its side. You'll get more of the area in the video shot. After all, we don't watch our TV turned on its side. Peace

Aw yiss - rotary phase converter - nice!!
Nice shop Sam. Interesting that your 3 phase is only 220v. Over here in Australia our 3 phase is 415v and our single phase house electricity is 230v
Excellent 🇦🇺
Lets go sam. So excited to see you starting a channel dude!
These videos are great Mr. Sam!
Holy shit Sam, You have alot of badass stuff, Thank you for the tour
Good sir, GM 4 LIFE
Can't wait to see that 55' project rolling!
