Samuel M. Smyth II's almost 4 decades of hands-on training started as a nine year old going to his Grandfathers and Father’s garages and learning from them and their factory trained, certified, and mechanical engineers. After several years of very closely supervised repairs, Sam was ready to rebuild an entire car solo. His father brought in his own personal Jaguar XK120 and Sam pulled the engine, stripped the car to the frame, and reconditioned all the parts and reinstalled everything, from engine, drive train, Instrumentation and accessories. His father told him he was passing on to him generations of his experience and knowledge. These Strong basics and almost forty years of hands on experience have enabled Sam to understand how to repair all components of a motorcar.
