Ep 6. Rocking the Suburb

Garage Squad season 7 episode 6, titled "Rocking the Suburb," follows the story of a suburban couple who have fallen in love with their 1964 Chevy Impala. Despite their best efforts, the car has been sitting in their garage for years and has fallen into disrepair.

The couple has been dreaming of restoring their beloved Impala, but they lack the skills and resources to do it themselves. That's where Garage Squad comes in. The team of expert mechanics and car enthusiasts will work together to bring the Impala back to life and make the couple's dream a reality.

As the episode begins, the Garage Squad team arrives at the couple's suburban home, and they quickly get to work assessing the condition of the Impala. They find that the car has a laundry list of problems, from rusted floorboards to a leaky radiator. The engine is in rough shape, too, and will need to be completely rebuilt.

Despite the daunting task ahead, the Garage Squad team is excited to get started, and they quickly dive in. They strip the car down to its bare bones, removing the engine, suspension, and all of the trim and upholstery. They clean the frame and start to rebuild the car from the ground up.

As the days go by, the team encounters a number of challenges. One of the biggest is the bodywork. The Impala had been hit in a previous accident, and the damage had never been properly repaired. The team works tirelessly to straighten out the dents and replace the damaged panels, but it's a tough job. They run into unexpected rust and welding problems along the way.

Meanwhile, the engine is also proving to be a challenge. The Garage Squad team decides to do a full rebuild, which includes boring out the cylinders, replacing the pistons and bearings, and installing a new camshaft. They also upgrade the carburetor and add a new exhaust system for more power and better sound.

The team is working against the clock, as they only have a few days left to finish the build. But they manage to make steady progress, and the Impala starts to take shape. They install new suspension components, brakes, and wheels, and add a custom leather interior and new paint job.

Finally, after several days of hard work, the Impala is ready to be revealed to the couple. The Garage Squad team has transformed the car from a rusted-out hulk to a beautiful, fully restored classic. The couple is overjoyed to see their dream car come to life, and they marvel at the attention to detail and the expert craftsmanship that went into the build.

The episode ends with a heartwarming moment, as the couple takes their newly restored Impala for a spin around the block. The Garage Squad team cheers them on, knowing that they've helped to make a dream come true. It's a satisfying end to a challenging build, and a reminder of the power of hard work, dedication, and expert craftsmanship.
