Speed Is the New Black (2017–…): Season 2, Episode 3 - Hockey Mad Nomad - full transcript
A family mad for hockey tasks Noah and team to transform their '57 Nomad into a powerful family ride equally ready for everyday activities and high- performance track days. And a father and...
Noah: COMING UP,
A '57 WAGON IS TRANSFORMED...
START TEARING UP
SOME ****
...FROM GROCERY GETTER...
- OH...
- BEHOLD.
...TO SUPERCHARGED SLEEPER.
"THAT CAR IS SO SICK."
AND AN AMERICAN CLASSIC
GOES NOSE-TO-NOSE
WITH ITS
21st-CENTURY COUNTERPART.
- WOW.
- AWESOME.
I LOVE IT.
IT'S POWER... BADASS.
...PERFORMANCE...
AND A FEW SURPRISES...
- HOLY COW.
- OH.
Noah:
...ST.-LOUIS-STYLE.
FLOWING THROUGH
THE WHOLE THING.
IT'S IT!
Noah: MAKING A CAR LOOK GOOD --
FOR US, THAT'S A GIVEN.
MAKING A CAR PERFORM --
THAT'S OUR SPECIALTY.
HERE AT CLASSIC CAR STUDIO,
MY TEAM OF VISIONARIES
AND MASTER CRAFTSMEN
TAKE CARS OF ALL KINDS
AND TRANSFORM THEM
INTO CUSTOM-TAILORED,
HIGH-PERFORMANCE RIDES.
YOU WANT TO WIN SHOWS?
GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.
YOU WANT TO WIN SHOWS

WE'RE THE SHOP FOR YOU.
BECAUSE HERE,
SPEED IS THE NEW BLACK.
CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY
DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS
ALL RIGHT, ANDREW.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BRINGING
THIS AWESOME NOMAD IN.
- YEAH. SURE, SURE.
- VERY, VERY COOL CAR.
THE CHEVY NOMAD -- IT'S ONE OF
MY FAVORITE CARS OF ALL TIME.
THEY'RE SUPER-RARE.
THE STYLING'S THERE,
BUT I LOVE SOME SPEED.
SO I CANNOT WAIT TO HEAR
WHAT ANDREW HAS IN STORE FOR US.
SO, TELL ME, WHAT IS IT ABOUT
THE NOMAD THAT DOES IT FOR YOU?
WHY THE NOMAD, AND, YOU KNOW,
WHY NOT SOMETHING ELSE?
WELL, YOU KNOW,
IT'S A TRI-FIVE, RIGHT?
RIGHT.
AND BEING A CHEVY GUY,
YOU'RE EITHER GONNA GET
A CORVETTE
OR A TRI-FIVE OR BOTH.
THE TRI-FIVE ERA INCLUDES
THE '55, '56, '57 CHEVY.
IT'S AN AWESOME ERA
FOR CHEVY DESIGN
WHERE THEY MADE SOME OF
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CARS
THEY'VE EVER CREATED.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE TRI-FIVE,
THIS WAS THE HEIGHT OF CHEVY
AND THE AEROSPACE ENGINEERING
WITH THE HUGE FINS.
OH, YEAH.AND, YOU KNOW, IT WAS ICONIC.
YOU KNOW, MY DREAM
FOR THIS PROJECT, FOR THIS CAR,
IS THAT I HAVE AN AUTOMOBILE
THAT I CAN USE WITH MY FAMILY
TO TAKE ANYWHERE,
WHETHER IT'S HOCKEY PRACTICE,
GOING TO MY IN-LAWS,
OR GOING TO MY PARENTS' HOUSE,
PACK THE KIDS IN IT,
PACK ALL THEIR STUFF IN IT,
BUT STILL HAVE SOMETHING
THAT'S FUN TO DRIVE
AND NOT BE IN MY WIFE'S S.U.V.
LOOKING FOR SIX-SPEED...
ALL RIGHT....LOTS OF HORSEPOWER...
GOOD....LOTS OF GOOD STOPPING POWER.
OKAY. AND IN TERMS
OF GENERAL STYLING ON THE CAR,
IT'S PRETTY MUCH TO DIE FOR
JUST AS IT IS.
WHAT KIND OF DIRECTION ARE YOU
LEANING TO IN TERMS OF STAYING,
LIKE, YOU KNOW,
REALLY STOCK ON THE OUTSIDE
OR GOING FULLY CUSTOM?
I LIKE THE STOCK LOOK OF IT.
I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY, IT'S ICONIC.RIGHT. YEAH.
AND I THINK THAT I WANT
TO STAY TRUE TO THAT.
DRESS UP THE WHEELS
A LITTLE BIT.
OKAY.
SO, YOU POP OPEN THE HOOD.
WHAT DO YOU WANT
TO SEE UNDER HERE?
WELL, OBVIOUSLY,
AN ENGINE.
I WANT FUEL-INJECTED.
OKAY.
I WANT A SUPERCHARGER ON IT.ALL RIGHT.
SO, I THINK THE COOL THING
ABOUT THE '57 NOMAD
IS, IT IS A STATION WAGON,
RIGHT?
WE POP A BIG ENGINE IN THERE,
AND IT'S GONNA BE LIKE
DRIVING A SPORTS CAR.
LET'S LOOK AT THE INTERIOR
REAL QUICK.
VERY, VERY STOCK.
AND ARE YOU FEELING
LIKE YOU WANT
A TOTALLY FRESH,
BRAND-NEW STOCK INTERIOR,
OR DO YOU WANT TO MIX
IT UP A LITTLE BIT?
I LIKE THE STOCK DASH IN IT,
BUT SEAT-WISE,
I WANT TO GO
WITH BUCKETS IN IT.
RIGHT.
THE BIG THING,
WHY I WENT FOR THE NOMAD,
IS THE CARGO ROOM,
I'D MUCH RATHER HAVE
SOMETHING LIKE THIS
TO DRIVE THEM TO HOCKEY IN.RIGHT.
I WANT IT TO BE COMFORTABLE
FOR EVERYDAY USE.
RIGHT.
BUT, HEY,
MY KIDS ARE 7 AND 9.
SURE.
THEY'RE GONNA BE
DROPPING CRACKERS IN THE BACK.
THERE YOU GO.
SO, LUXURIOUS,
YET KIND OF PRACTICAL.RIGHT. RIGHT.
I KNOW YOU GUYS
ARE GONNA DO AN AWESOME JOB.
ALL RIGHT.
THANK YOU, SIR.
THANKS FOR COMING IN.
YEAH.

'57 HEAVEN.RESALE RED.
LOOKS LIKE
EVERYBODY'S '57 NOMAD.
Noah: IT DOES LOOK LIKE
EVERYBODY'S '57 NOMAD,
BUT HE WANTS TO CHANGE
IT UP A LITTLE BIT.
Charles: SO, IS HE
A PERFORMANCE JUNKIE?
IS HE MORE OF A
CRUISE-AROUND-TOWN KIND OF GUY?
WHAT IS HE?
HE KIND OF WANTS IT ALL,
WHICH IS COOL.
SO, HE WANTS TO DRIVE
THE CAR A LOT,
AND HE WANTS TO TAKE HIS TWO
SONS TO HOCKEY PRACTICE IN IT.
HE ALSO WANTS SOME POWER.
HE'S FINE
WITH LOWERING IT DOWN.
HE'S THINKING IF WE CAN USE
THE ORIGINAL CHASSIS,
BUT IMPROVE EVERYTHING A WHOLE
LOT, THAT WOULD BE A WINNER.
HE WANTS A MODERN DRIVETRAIN,
AND HE DOES WANT A SIX-SPEED,
SO I THOUGHT
THAT WAS PRETTY COOL.
SIX-SPEED'S REALLY COOL.YEAH. RIGHT?
EVERYBODY'S GOING MODERN.
I'D LOVE IF WE, LIKE,
WENT BACK TO A SMALL-BLOCK
WITH SIX TWO-BARRELS,
POP THE HOOD,
AND IT'S, LIKE,
FULL-BLOWN NOSTALGIC-LOOKING.
I WAS THINKING
OF DOING AN LSA.
THOUGHT
THAT'D BE PRETTY COOL.
MAYBE WE COULD DRESS
THAT THING UP SOMEHOW.
YEAH.SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
CHECK OUT THE INTERIOR.
REAL QUICK.
THE ONE THING
ON THESE THAT, I MEAN --
YOU CAN'T GET RID
OF THOSE HEADLINER BOWS.
THAT'S MY FAVORITE PART
OF THIS WHOLE INTERIOR.
KIND OF MATCHES THE RIBS
ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE BODY.
YEAH.
I MEAN, IT'S AN AWESOME DESIGN.
WE'RE GONNA DO
A TIMELESS INTERIOR.
THE OUTSIDE, WE HAVE
A LITTLE BIT OF PLAY ROOM.
WE CAN CHANGE
SOME STUFF AROUND.
BUT HE WANTS IT TO
STILL PERFORM REALLY WELL --
LS SUPERCHARGED ENGINE,
FLAT STANCE, NOT A BIG RAKE.
I THINK WE CAN DO IT,
AND IT'S GONNA LOOK NICE.
I THINK WE GOT A GOOD PLAN.
KEEP IT CLASSY...
TILL SCOTT TOUCHES IT.
♪♪
THE FIRST STEP ON THE NOMAD
IS TO STRIP IT DOWN,
TAKE OFF ALL THE PIECES
AND TRIM WE WANT,
AND GET RID OF EVERYTHING ELSE
WE DON'T NEED.
WE'RE GONNA KEEP
ALL THESE SCREWS
FROM THE TRIM IN HIS CAR,
BUT THERE'S MAYBE THREE
THAT ACTUALLY BELONG HERE.
WE'VE GOT SCREWS
THAT ARE MADE FOR WOOD.
WE'VE GOT SCREWS
THAT ARE TOO SHORT.
WE HAVE SCREWS THAT ARE
GLUED IN THE HOLES.

EVERYTHING IN ONE CAR.

YES.
YEAH. THAT'S HOW YOU KEEP YOUR
COW FROM LEAKING APPARENTLY.
YOU FILL IT FULL OF

WELL, WE'VE BARELY JUST GOT
INTO THIS CAR,
AND SO FAR, WE'VE FOUND ALL
KINDS OF MISMATCHED HARDWARE.
AND THEN WE GOT A COWL
THAT'S FULL OF BATHTUB CAULK
TO KEEP IT FROM LEAKING,
WHICH IS AMAZING.
THIS CAR IS FULL
OF SURPRISES.
YEAH.
THIS IS SOUND DEADENER.
IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE
USED TO HOLD ON MOLDINGS.
WE GOT THREE DIFFERENT SCREWS
HOLDING THIS ARMREST ON.
DRYWALL ANCHOR.
I DON'T LIKE THAT AT ALL.
MORE VELCRO.
IT'S, LIKE,
A PIECE OF PLYWOOD
SHOVED UP
IN THE WINDOW FRAME.
THERE'S A BUNCH OF PAINT STICKS
GLUED TO THE B PILLAR, TOO.
YEAH.
NOTHING BUT THE BEST.
ANY TIME YOU STRIP A CAR DOWN
AND FIND THIS MUCH JANKY ****
HOLDING IT TOGETHER,
YOU CANNOT HELP
BUT WORRY WHAT OTHER
PROBLEMS ARE LURKING
RIGHT UNDERNEATH THE SURFACE.
I DON'T THINK THIS SPARE TIRE'S
GONNA DO ANYBODY ANY GOOD.
IS IT FLAT?
[ LAUGHS ]
WELL, THERE'S A RIM.
I'M A BROKEN MAN.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY.
THIS WHOLE CAR IS HELD TOGETHER
WITH TOOTHPICKS AND DUCT TAPE,
DOUBLE-SIDED TAPE,

DON'T MATCH, BATHTUB CAULK.
IT'S JUST --
IT'S A NIGHTMARE.

IT TOOK SOME TIME, BUT THE GUYS
FINALLY GOT THE NOMAD
STRIPPED DOWN
AND READY TO BE WORKED ON.
WITH THAT NIGHTMARE BEHIND US,
IT'S TIME TO MOCK UP THE ENGINE

WE NEED TO CHANGE.
- ENGINE DELIVERY.
- OH, HECK, YEAH.
OH, MAN.
WHAT WE GOT THERE?
LOOK AT THAT.
SUPERCHARGED LSA.
AWESOME.THAT'S BADASS.
THAT IS.
MAN, THESE THINGS GOT
LIKE 556 HORSEPOWER
OUT OF A 376 CUBIC INCH,
FACTORY SUPERCHARGED,
AND WE'RE PUTTING
A SIX-SPEED BEHIND IT.
OH, MAN.
IT'S GONNA BE BADASS.
THIS GUY'S GONNA HAVE
THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS.
WELL,
LET'S GET IT IN THERE.
Paul:
ONE THING THAT'S REALLY COOL
ABOUT THESE SUPERCHARGERS --
THEY MAKE A REAL LOW BOOST
RIGHT FROM THE FACTORY,
BUT STILL MAKE 556 HORSEPOWER.
ONE OF THE WAYS
THAT THEY'RE ABLE TO DO THAT IS,
THEY GOT A HEAT EXCHANGER,
LIKE, A WATER-TO-AIR INTERCOOLER
SET UP,
SO IT COOLS THE INTAKE CHARGE
AS THE CHARGE IS FORCED
DOWN IN THE ENGINE.
THIS THING'S GONNA ROCK.

THERE IT IS.
AND DONE.
LET'S SEE
WHERE WE'RE AT, HUH?
WE'RE ALSO CHANGING THIS CAR
FROM AN AUTOMATIC
TO A MANUAL SIX-SPEED.
WE'RE GONNA INSTALL

IT'S SUPER-STRONG,
SUPER-AWESOME,
AND WE SHOULDN'T HAVE ANY ISSUES
WITH ROLLING THROUGH THE GEARS
AS FAST AS WE WANT.
LOOK AT THAT.
OH, YEAH.
WE'RE GONNA HAVE
A CLEARANCE ISSUE THERE

YOU READY?
YEAH.
"CAUTION -- DO NOT LET
DOUG WORK ON IT."
[ LAUGHS ]
THE SIX-SPEED WE'RE PUTTING IN
THE '57 NOMAD IS A MAGNUM T56,
WHICH IS STRONGER
THAN YOUR STANDARD T56.
IT HAS STEEL SHIFT FORKS,
HARDENED KEYS, BRONZE PADS --
ALL THE STUFF THAT NORMALLY
BREAKS WHEN YOU OVERPOWER THEM.
ALL RIGHT.
THAT'S PERFECT.

WE'RE A GOOD TEAM.
WE MADE A LOT OF MISTAKES

Dan:
ON THE B PILLAR ON THE NOMAD,
WE NOTICED AN ISSUE
WITH THE PAINT
BEFORE WE EVEN
STARTED STRIPPING IT,
SO WE GRINDED THIS DOWN
TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON,
AND THERE'S SOME METAL
THAT'S ACTUALLY MISSING
FROM THE CORNER
OF THE B PILLAR HERE
AND ALSO SOME RUST
THAT LOOKS LIKE
IT'S COMING OUT
FROM UNDER THE OLD LEAD.
SO BEFORE I CAN DO
ANY WELDING OR REPAIRS,
I GOT TO GET THE LEAD
OUT OF THE WAY.
I'M GONNA BURN THE LEAD OUT
WITH A TORCH,
AND THEN WE'LL GO FROM THERE.
♪♪
I ALWAYS STRIP ALL THE OLD LEAD
OUT OF THE CARS.
IT'S -- YOU HAVE TO,
OR YOU'RE GONNA RUN INTO
PAINT PROBLEMS LATER.
A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL NOT STRIP
THIS OLD LEAD OUT,
AND WHAT HAPPENS IS,
MOISTURE WILL GET INTO THIS SEAM
FROM THE BACK SIDE,
AND IT WILL START
TO SURFACE-RUST.
AND IF YOU PAINT OVER THAT,
IT SOMETIMES DOESN'T TAKE LONG
BEFORE YOU'LL GET BUBBLES
IN YOUR PAINT FROM THE RUST.
♪♪
UGH.
SO, I FOUND ANOTHER CRACK UP
HERE AT THE TOP OF THE B PILLAR.
AFTER GRINDING THE PAINT OFF,
FOUND OUT IT'S, AGAIN,

Noah:
MY CLIENT DAVE IS DROPPING BY
TO TALK ABOUT HIS 1967 MUSTANG
THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON
FOR A WHILE.
TODAY, HE'S BRINGING SON OLIVER
IN FOR THE FIRST TIME
'CAUSE THEY WANT TO TALK
ABOUT A FEW NEW IDEAS
THEY HAVE TO FINISH UP
THE PROJECT.
YOU AS INTO THESE CARS
AS YOUR DAD IS, OR...
JUST A LITTLE BIT.
Dave:
MY DAD WAS A GEARHEAD.
IN A SENSE,
I'M PASSING ON THE TRADITION
THAT MY DAD GAVE TO ME.AWESOME.
I COULD DRIVE A STICK
BY THE TIME I WAS 11.
THAT'S JUST WHO I AM.
CARS ARE IN ME.
THERE'S NOTHING I CAN
REALLY DO TO CHANGE THAT.
WE WERE FORTUNATE ENOUGH
TO RECENTLY PICK UP
OH, VERY NICE.
AND WHEN WE BROUGHT
THE NEW CAR TO THE HOUSE,
WE LITERALLY LOOKED
AT EACH OTHER AND SAID,
"HOW COOL WOULD IT BE
TO TURN THIS
INTO A '67 SHELBY GT350?"
SO, WE'VE GOT SOME REALLY COOL
SHELBY PARTS FOR THE OUTSIDE.
IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WANT
TO ADD TO THE INSIDE
JUST TO KIND OF ROUND
THIS PROJECT OUT?
YEAH. I THINK WE MIGHT HAVE
TO DO SOME PROPER LOGOING
ON THE STEERING WHEEL.
I THINK, FOR '67, THEY MIGHT
HAVE BEEN ON THE DASH.
IT'S PRETTY CLOSE RIGHT NOW.RIGHT.
AND MAYBE MAKE SURE
THE SEATS
LOOK OF THAT SHELBY VINTAGE
IN 1967.
SURE. SURE.
I'LL DO SOME MORE RESEARCH
ON THE INTERIOR
AND SEE HOW CLOSE
WE CAN GET IT
JUST TO KIND OF GET
THOSE LAST LITTLE DETAILS,
'CAUSE THAT'S WHAT
IT'S ALL ABOUT.
AWESOME. I THINK
IT'S GONNA BE A KILLER CAR,
BUT WE HAVE ONE
MORE THING TO DECIDE.
I NEED YOU TO DOUBLE-CHECK
THESE COLORS
AGAINST YOUR CURRENT CAR.
PICK WHAT YOU THINK
WILL LOOK BEST.
I THINK THE CLASSIC ONE
WITH THE WHITE...
YEAH....WOULD LOOK REALLY GOOD.
THAT'S SUCH
AN ICONIC FORD COLOR.
I THINK THIS BLUE IS A LITTLE
BIT MORE PERIOD-CORRECT.
I MEAN, THE THING THAT STARTED
ALL OF THIS IS THE IDEA OF,
HOW COOL WOULD IT BE
TO PULL THE '67 MUSTANG
RIGHT NEXT TO THE 2017 SHELBY?
AND I JUST WANT TO TAKE
ONE PICTURE OF THEM
RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER.
