After talking to @mr.sam-feeltheshine5291 about the possibility of building his his dream car for almost a year we are finally taking a trip down to see the project and see if we can make it happen for him.

Mr. Sam has one of the coolest car collections I have ever seen. Excited to be a small part of that.
I agree , Sam’s got a whole bunch of verity with his car collection, I’m glad Sams gonna get his dream car built , he deserves it so much and I’m really excited to see the car being built
sure does!!
Mr. Sam’s turbo SC300 is my dream car.
All that organic material such as sticks and grass should be removed before construction. You can't cover it up and shouldn't want to.
Mr. Sam is great! America’s Grandpa! 🇺🇸 ❤
fellas, you guys are legends, i cant afford murch etc. but this is for MR SAMS build! keep.up the awesome work!!!
This project needs to be brought to front of the line, give Mr.Sam the most time possible with it.
Agreed 💯
Absolutely
Nah.
I agree
💯
I have made several comments on Cleetus’s channel that he should have the guys all jump in and help Mr Sam build his 55. They could make great content, but more importantly he would get it finished fast. Mr Sam is not getting any younger and we all want to see him enjoying his dream car. He wants to hit some Drag & Drives and drive that 55. Please help Sam enjoy his dream by making things happen quickly. Mr. Sam deserves this. A lot of people will watch this build content because who it’s for. I believe this will get you a lot of attention with views and comments along with helping you grow your channel with new subscribers. Cooper’s most viewed video was a Mr Sam interview. I believe that video still holds his record for views. I know you will experience the same with his 55 content. Happy he picked you to build his dream car because it will get finished fast.🇺🇸🦅🏁
You can donate to this channel or Mr. Sams to help fund it.
Amen brother
Mr Sam is Americas Grandpa and deserves the best. Hes a national treasure. 80 years old and still busting his ass and keeping up with the "young guys". James moving in next door was the best thing for Mr Sam, Cleet & crew and all the fans! We know yall will build him a killer ride! Next missions: Get Mr Sam a Blackwing and an R8!
Mr Sam already has too many cars to drive lol.....but damn would a built Blackwing suit him 😅
America's grandpa? Dont think you guys get him all to ur self 😂
@LiibanLPN Hey now, he's American. So of course he's all ours. However Americans are indeed a generous people. Our treasures are shared to all.
Ya get all the access ya want, we love to share, but he's ours still at the end of the day. 😆
He's got his 80th birthday coming this summer, and I'm curious what cleet and the crew are going to do for him!?
I believe Mr. Sam was saved by Cleet and company. He used to be so down. Now he's doing things like this!
No no. Mr Sam lived all his years and after all this time, he chose you. Mr Sam deserves to be front of the line.
It's about integrity, they have previous commitments!
I'm sure they will do what they can for Mr Sam without rushing anyone elses project
Spoken like someone who's never worked with their hands before. Dumbass comment. Everyone loves Sam but that doesn't mean you fuck your existing customers over, go get some life experience moron
Let's go Mr Sam!!! Bout to turn 80 years old and living his life. He truly is a gem and this is well deserved!!!
I'm 66 and Mr Sam gets around better than I do!
@PhilG999 Yea he does. Hope I move that good when I'm that age. 33 years old here, and construction and fabrication work for 18 years has taking a toll. I feel 50 lol
@@alwaysbebatman I'm about Mr Sam's size and I've been wrenching and working on machinery since I was 15! My best advice is take care of your back! I tried to but I'm feeling it now!
@alwaysbebatman
Exactly why I got out and changed direction at about 29 years old having worked the field for nearly a decade. Snapline and layout, Framing and stacking bb! Loved the job, the tear-up from the work though, not so much. 😆 Especially the lower back, Holy shit.
Yea, my gramps taught me at a young age to take care of my back. It's the rest of me that I screwed up. Lol. Blew out my knee at 15. And smashed lots of fingers. Thankfully still have all of those. But I love wrenching and building everything. Cars, houses, tree houses, oil fields equipment, I've done it all and love it all!! Won't stop just like grandpa
And I mean, it's Mr. Sam... I imagine if anything were to threaten him, half the country would show up... Thank you for doing this for him!
I'd be on my way from Canada. I think maybe half the world lmao.
Thanks for doing this Cameron! You have to be humbled that Mr. Sam 1- Wants you to build it and 2- Tells you "Don't call me" build it as you would like, he trusts you.
That alone says a lot!
Biggest vote of confidence a man can give.
For Mr. Sam to say have at it. Don't worry about calling me for everything do what you want and think is best. Is one of the greatest compliments you could receive doing the work for him.
What I love about Mr Sam is that he is so old school but completely loves technology and willingness to adapt American treasure
Your 100% right. Most older people are stubborn to change. But Sam is open-minded & understands some things ARE better now than in the past. I think its why he appears younger then he is.
He’s no boomer. The crew is keeping him young.
@adamr9215 true, but I find alot of older guys wanna re live the glory days because they think the best is behind them
I agree . I know you’re more than busy, but Sam needs that car to enjoy. My father is 76 and failing to cancer but he just bought his first new car ever…. The smile on his face was priceless.
I don't know what I'm more excited to see.....the finished build, or Mr. Sam's reaction to it!
Depends 😂
Mr Sam reminds me so much of my grandfather. The organization, taking care of things, hard work, etc. Even telling him before he passed, he'll never fully understand the values he instilled in me that I've been trying to pass along to my son. In the garage with the Supra, look on the shelf. All those cans are faced! And if you don't know what that means, I'm showing my age 😂. But house, yard, garage, immaculate! It's the little things and the appreciation of everything you have.
Glad you're doing this for him, it'll be remembered!
The fact that you just let him talk was awesome! That's how you show respect to those who are passing down real knowledge!! Great job guys!!👍🏻👍🏻
I could listen to Mr Sam talk all day, reminds me of my late uncle. I miss cracking a few cold ones and listening to him tell stories in between passes at the local strip's test n tune on a random Thursday.
Always let the old fellas talk as long as they want. That's how they'll chain stories together and you end up hearing some of the craziest shit ever. If you cut in or add things of your own they may forget. I've learned to sit in silence and wait for the rambling to stop before the story goes on hahaha.
Sam is the greatest. Talking with him at the Indy 800 with my daughter was awesome. He even posted a pic of him and my daughter on his Instagram. Classy guy. 100%. I pray I am as great as him one day. And I'm not talking about possessions or money. Genuine awesome guy.
"Hot roddin' ain't about having one sitting at the house." Damn right! It's about driving it there, running it, and then driving it back home!
💯 facts!!
Mr. Sam is a good guy. You don't find that many that humble.. I will help folks like Mr. Sam to no end to help fulfill their goal/dream if I have the ability.. CJ, you'll never forget this project. Rock on, guys!!!
Sam should run the list with the spray wax express.
Victor will cry and call it a promod.
Lmao
Sore butt vic😂
I really appreciate guys who could have BMW/Mercedes as daily drivers and Lamborghinis/Ferraris as their play toys but instead have a bunch of really cool cars that are kinda obscure to see in a collection together. Sam has good taste too. Like he has a Z06 parked next to an F150 lightning parked next to a Buick parked next to a Toyota. It's just super cool. Sam is a badass.
What an honor. Accepting this job has got to be one of the easiest decisions CJ has made.
Thank you and your team for making a dream come true for Mr. Sam! Would most certainly be interested in a shirt purchase to help support this! He is a true National Treasure and now CJRC is a part of his legacy! Thanks again!
NOWWW were talking. Crowd source it and make it that much more special and show Mr Sam how WE REALLY CARE. I'll buy 2 or 3.
Dude is living life with the pedal matted. I wanna be Mr. Sam when I grow up (im 40). Much respect.
same
Yep
Same over here. Gotta be legendary like Mr sam❤
😂 The way he never lifted with the boys in the turbo Marauder was epic
Get off the internet, and get to work then!!!
Exactly what Sam does!!!
Mr.Sams really isn't getting any younger and we all know time doesn't stop for anyone , So his car has to get in motion asap ,So he gets the most time enjoying it.. Mr.Sam must think alot about you boys to be putting his dream car in your alls hands to build..
All hands on deck and get Mr. Sam hooked up as soon as possible, please. I can't wait to see his smile as he buffs that 55 up. I am so grateful to see everyone give that man the respect he deserves.
When you announce that you were going to stop building high level cars unfocus on finishing off the ones in the shop, possibly doing a few cars for friends etc and concentrating on RUclips this is exactly what everybody needed, from the legend that is Mr Sam, CJRC I'm the viewers at home. I've watched most of your videos but subscribe instantly before watching this one. This man is a prime example of somebody living the American dream
Anything with Mr Sam is soo special. Love Mr Sam. Full respect. thank you
I love Mr Sam like family and I have never met him. I would rather meet Mr Sam than anyone at Cleetus' channel. He reminds me of my grandpa so SO MUCH! There's ABSOLUTELY NOTHING that puts a smile on my face like seeing Mr Sam smile. He literally loves life and is 100% the most amazing man I've ever encountered! Thank you guys for another great video and thank you Mr Sam for making my life so much better. GOD BLESS YOU 🙏❤️✌️
As much as I love this video, I'm overwhelmed at the love, support and comradery from the subscribers to this channel. Seeing these comments makes my day. You guys are awesome!
I love Mr Sam. I got to meet him last year in CT. He was so nice to my step daughter and I. He spent time talking with us. Wouldn’t let us leave until we got our pictures. Can’t wait to see him again this year
Hell yeah brother!!! Mr Sam is an absolute dawg thank you for doing this for him!
Hardly. He’s just an old man. Get off of his shaft already. 🙄
Absolutely love Mr Sam he reminds so much of my Papa just a good ole pure hearted soul a real National Treasure my Paw was the same way he worked on his hotrods till the day he went home Hes the whole reason I love these cars the way I do sure do miss you Paw Cameron u have to hurry get this car done for Mr Sam u can tell this one is more then just another car to him Its a life dream and that young man needs all the time in the world to enjoy it
Man Mr.Sam deserves this! That man is living the best life with cleet and the boys. Glad he is living out his dreams.
Sam is very detailed oriented, and it's a big deal to find a person you can trust to work on your stuff. I am just like same and I can see why he is going with CJRC even though it's not his type of build he knows he will get that mix of racecar and streetcar he wants with the CJRC perfection and attention to detail.
Mr. Sam & C.J. I don't know if y'all know about Danchuk Mfg. But the have anything you need for 55 to 57 Chevrolets. Trim, sheet metal, Instrumentation, I mean everything.
Man Mr. Sam is a gem. I could listen to him talk forever. He’s got so many great stories, has lived an incredible life and continues to do so with Cleetus and the crew. If you could prioritize his project that would be great; if not I get it. Either way it’s always nice to him smile.
Mr. Sam is more than deserving of your services building his dream car! Best of luck with the new shop too.
Now that’s something to get excited about! Definitely excited this project get started!
A micro fiber tower is never more than a couple feet away from Mr Sam. Haha his f150 door had about ten shoved in it.
That’s why she’s called the Spray Wax Express 😂
Top quality content. Mr Sam deserves this more than most! Such a legend
Mr. Sam should be a national icon
International icon* I'm Dutch and I want Sam to dethrone our ginger king.
Haha awesome. Sam rocks.
I was thinking the same. Mr. Sam is a 🇺🇸🇺🇸national treasure 🇺🇸🇺🇸💯🇺🇸💯
Should be???
wtf???
He is!!!
@Bulbous_Beefcake same from UK
Love Mr. Sam, fellow AF vet, do a good job for him 👍. He picked the right crew.
Who doesn't love Mr Sam!! I'm 77 and I love the guy. He is my roll model! Anyone who can be around him is blessed. Thank you for being so good to him! You are a good man!
Man i cant wait to follow this project. Mr Sam giving CJ free reign has to be such a compliment. You know this is gonna turn out to be a special car for many reasons.
I t hink all your viewers are excited that you will be doing this for Mr Sam and are looking forward to seeing this build , all the best Camron ..
If anyone in the freedom factory deserves a build, it’s Mr Sam. Always making sure the FF fleet shines for the crowd.
Man, I could listen to Mr Sam talk about hot rods all day long! 👍
Congrats CJ. I can't wait to see Mr Sam rolling in his new ride. Make it drag and drive comfortable for him, I reckon he deserves it. Cheers mate.
Thank you guys for doing this for Mr. Sam, he's a national treasure!!
Really looking forward to watching the build for Mr Sam. Good luck on the new shop build.
Mr Sam is the absolute man....dude himself, is the biggest sleeper there is.... you'd never expect that nice old man to have the fast stuff he's got.... and he's definitely got a great collection of fast cars.
Mr. Sam is such a genuine, good-hearted man. Always enjoy his stories and what he brings to the videos. 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Sam’s humbleness is always on full display, and I’m here for it!!
I am so happy to see Mr. Sam have his dream car!! This man deserves the best and I would say if you want to do it extra special that he has fans that will be more than happy to contribute. He is such a classy guy and deserves a classy car. Please move it to the front of the pack as soon as possible!!!
The freedom Sam is giving CJ is definitely an honor, It really shows how much confidence Sam has iin CJ. However, it's also a double edged sword. On one hand, it makes things easier because you don't have to get approval for every decision. On the other hand, it puts pressure on you to always make the perfect decision. After watching the CJRC channel for a while, and watching CJRC content on Cleetus' channel, I have no doubt whatsoever that CJ and his crew will pull it off.
looking forward to the build video. This is going to be an awesome car
Mr. Sam is living the life! I love his collection and that he drives them.
God bless you Cameron Johnson you’re a true inspiration and hearing Sam tell you to do what ever you want because he has all the faith in you oh my god this video really hit me in the heart I can’t wait to see what you build for Sam. Cjrc team are second to none
OMG Hell Yeah Brother Mr Sam Deserves Nothing But The Best
Tbh sam deserves to be driving this by next month im willing to bet people would love to see this done before mullet aleven though everyone loves mullet but all the dedication sam does for everyone sam deserves to be in this baby asap. Wish i had a grandfather/father like mr sam not hecause if his money ir collection but for genuine person he is.
My boss ordered all of his employees Brunts. I really hope they are as comfortable and rugged as you claim. Bout to put them to the test. Lol
Hell yeah CJ that's the best video yet. These ole boys won't be with us forever gotta take care of them. That video will go down in history as well as when it finished and his reaction too seeing it done and the first drive. Keep grinding boys. Love it
Thanks so much for this Cam! He deserves this!!
Man this car could be the one that sets you above the rest. Everyone loves Mr Sam so i can’t wait to see this done. Looking forward to the videos & making Mr Sam’s dream come true. He sure does deserve it. Let’s hope you rush this one through.
How can’t you love Mr. Sam? The guy is just happy, and continues to pursue being happy. I can only hope to hold on to positivity and happiness throughout my life like he does!
Always awesome content. See if you can put a mic on Mr. Sam moving forward. He’s such a sweet and soft spoken man that I raise the volume to hear what he’s saying and then get blown away when someone else speaks. Or don’t. I still watch and deal with it. lol 😊
Got alot of people here for Mr Sam. Go find his youtube!!! Get him to 100k subs before his birthday!!!
Bucket seats and make it safe af. I think this is something special dude, you’ve gotta really think safety and comfort. Bucket seats and cage, but keep the ac and modify the ac to blow on his ass and back, to his face and everywhere else. Keep him cool in the car and he’ll be okay
Cleet and you are adding years of life to mr sam, he looks like he having the time of his life every video. Great job you guys!
God I love sam he's a absolute legend I'm glad you guys are gonna make his dream a reality! He's gonna be so thrilled when its done!
IIRC, we know of Mr. Sam because he happened to live across the street from Jackstand. Crazy this encyclopedia of knowledge just happened to be around and be game for all the Cleetus antics.
That was an easy 30 minute watch. The three of you are a humble mix of expertise and fun. Keep
It coming. The tree guys on drag and drive when you get it all going.
Love that guy. Sam your the best. Need more like him.
Mr Sam is such a legend, that rendering is off tap but what yous will do to it will be perfect. Can't wait to see the finished product 🙌🏻
Please paint it like the rendering. (!!!!!!) 32:17
That rendering is so fricken cool 😎
YESSSS!
Look forward to this build.. the finished product if it looks anything like what Mr Sam has on his phone will be incredible 👌
Super Awsome of you to take care of Mr. SAM! LET'S GO 💥
I love how Sam supports his boys he knows where his stuff is coming from and going to 🇺🇸🤘🏼
Cannot wait to watch this build
Can't wait for this build!!! Love Mr. Sam!
our boy breathing into the camera is killing me lmao. and LETS GOOOO Mr. Sam. congrats on the new shop CJ
Nearly makes the video unwatchable
U crazy, I didn't even notice @@Danny__D
THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO IVE SEEN IN A WHILE!!! The people DEAMND more CJ/Mr Sam content!!! We need to get this build started ASAFP!!!!!!!!
Please make sure to document and post the entire build process for Mr. Sam.
God bless Mr. Sam!
17:36 “You need to do your research” should be on a t-shirt😂
Put this one on the hot track to finish ASAP letting Mr Sam enjoy this dream ride for as long as he can. He's not only America's favorite Granddad he's a person who has made his mark on our country and loved all over the world and we all would like to see him living the best years of his life with those toys that he would be happy to tell you all the story's about. Since you are taking this build on we his fans might like to get a chance to help pay for a portion a little bit of help from his fan base im thinking maybe you could set up a go fund me for Mr Sam's hotrod build? Or a Mr Sam shirt to alleviate any burden this build might create on his life. Can't wait to see this project take off and come to fruition for the man and legend Mr Sam to enjoy for his remaining years.
Sam is a kid at heart... Amazing.
Mr Sam is awesome, enjoyed hearing all the talk he done on his car collection
This is so good , glad you agreed to help Sam out. He is one of a kind. Thanks for sharing.
Building cars with buddies and not worrying about making money off them is my life goal yall keep it up!
How can you not love Mr. Sam? He is a national treasure!
Who could say no to a guy like Mr Sam , I mean just his shear excitement says it all . Can’t wait !!!!
You mentioned not knowing they had power seats back then, when you started looking at the Grand National. I have a 1968 Chrysler 300 with factory power seats that still work. It adds quite a few pounds, but helps emphasize the 'street car' aspect.
Power bench seat was the only option my first 55 Chrysler New Yorker didn't have. So that's the earliest I 100% know of. And iirc Cadillac had it earlier.
i’m on my first pair of Brunt work boots, Ryng Low. and after 2 years of medium duty diesel mechanic and driving, they’re wearing very well. they’re light and even with washing equipment i expect my feet to get wet and they really haven’t. def happy w them.
Too be honest I wear red wing. When I’m started my landscape business 8yr ago I bought the most expensive goretex lace up and they still going. Had them resolled 3 year ago $100 Lifetime warranty
Damn.........I'm so excited to see the video of the unveiling and seeing Mr Sam's face when his dream car is completed and right in front of him !! Good on you Cameron and you're team for taking on this project, I couldn't think of a more deserving person to get his dream car built from you champions. Looking forward to seeing the end result and Mr Sam taking it on it's first drag & drive event 💯🤙
Oh hell yeah.
Wow Mr Sam has collected some beautiful parts. This will be a insane build. Really cool to see a brand new LT5 supercharged engine still in the plastic & crate. Big money right there! Can't wait to see him drive it😊 We love ya Mr.Sam
You should start using wireless mics. I couldn't understand half of what Mr. Sam was saying. They're not that expensive and they make your videos sound a lot more professional.
Could hear every word crystal clear.
Yeah, the volume is pretty low, definitely need lapel mics. Easy to use, just wirelessly connect to your phone.
It's pretty much unwatchable with the camera mans voice overpowering everything
@@Danny__D Right. This happens a lot when fairly new RUclipsrs start to grow their following. I know that a lot of RUclipsrs get away with just using straight camera, but in those boomy garages, especially the ones in this video, Mr. Sam's voice just kind of disappears. These new mics have noise cancellation as well and they're cheap. It doesn't take a lot of money or effort to significantly increase production quality. This could have also drastically used some editing for brevity and for watchability and as you said having the camera person, booming his voice right into the camera was weird.
Tri-Five Chevy's make the ultimate builders! kudos to Mr. Sam! and A Huge thanks to CJ Race Cars for accepting his request! Can't wait to see this build!
