Speed is the New Black Season 1 Episode 3 Who's the Boss?

In this episode of Speed is the New Black, titled "Who's the Boss?," the team at Classic Car Studio takes on the challenge of restoring a 1972 Buick Skylark. The owner of the car, a self-proclaimed "car guy," wants to turn it into a modern muscle car while still maintaining its classic look.

No easy feat, the team at Classic Car Studio takes on the challenge with enthusiasm. However, they quickly realize that this restoration will require more work than they initially thought. The Buick Skylark has been through several poorly executed modifications and needs a lot of attention to get it up to par.

The team starts by gutting the car, removing any unnecessary parts and making room for new upgrades. The original engine is swapped out for a modern LS3 engine, but it proves to be a tight squeeze. New headers and exhaust systems are custom-fabricated to fit the engine and the team has to work around the tight quarters of the engine bay.

Next up on the list is the suspension. The Skylark's old suspension is in rough shape, but the new modern suspension they've ordered is just as difficult to install as the engine. The team has to strip the old suspension down to bare bones and start from scratch to properly fit the new modern suspension into the car.

One of the biggest challenges comes in the form of the car's wiring. The old wiring was in disarray and not safe to leave in place, but the new wiring for the modern engine and suspension requires experience and knowledge to install properly.

Throughout the episode, there are bumps in the road, as with all car restorations, but the team keeps their spirits up and works together to get the car closer to completion.

As the episode wraps up, the team reveals the finished product to the owner. He is thrilled with the results, thanking the team for their hard work and dedication, and of course, the new and improved classic muscle car.

Overall, "Who's the Boss?" is a great episode that showcases the dedication and hard work that goes into restoring a classic car to modern standards. With multiple setbacks and challenges, the team at Classic Car Studio perseveres and delivers a beautiful final product that any car enthusiast would be proud to own.
