Ep 16. Galaxie Time Capsule

Galaxie Time Capsule is season 3, episode 16 of the show PowerNation: Engine Power. In this episode, the hosts of the show are working on a 1961 Ford Galaxie that has been locked up in a garage since the 90s. The car is a time capsule and the hosts have a lot of work to do to bring it up to modern standards.

The hosts begin by examining the car and testing the engine. They quickly discover that the engine has a lot of problems, from clogged injectors to a seized thermostat. As they start to work on the engine, they realize that they will need to replace many of the parts in order to get the car running smoothly again.

Next, the hosts turn their attention to the brakes. They discover that the brake system is completely shot and will need to be completely replaced. This is a complicated process, and the hosts take their time to make sure that the new system is installed correctly.

After the brakes are sorted, the hosts move on to the steering system. They replace the old power steering pump and hoses, and they also replace the old steering coupler. This takes some time, but the hosts are experienced mechanics and they get the job done without any issues.

With the engine and steering systems sorted, the hosts move on to the suspension. They replace the old shocks and springs with new, high-performance versions. The new suspension makes a huge difference in the car's handling, and the hosts are impressed with the improvement.

Finally, the hosts turn their attention to the interior of the car. They install new carpeting and seats, and they also replace the old dashboard with a new one. The new dashboard has modern gauges and electronics, and the hosts are thrilled with the new look.

Throughout the episode, the hosts joke and chat with each other, making the work seem like a fun, easy process.

In the end, the Galaxie is transformed from a neglected, old car into a beautiful, modern machine that is a joy to drive.
