Who would have thought that a small
3
00:00:25,201 --> 00:00:26,970
rural town in Illinois would end up

17
00:01:01,830 --> 00:01:03,839
workings of this legendary shop sadly
18
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,019
the networks have portrayed the
19
00:01:06,020 --> 00:01:09,000
automotive World in an unrealistic
20
00:01:09,001 --> 00:01:11,219
contrived overly written soap opera and
21
00:01:11,220 --> 00:01:13,319
I refuse to take that road who's the
22
00:01:13,320 --> 00:01:15,429
biggest here me
23
00:01:15,430 --> 00:01:17,539
can you uh answer it with the question
24
00:01:18,359 --> 00:01:21,059
no just me so we're going to unscripted
25
00:01:21,060 --> 00:01:24,420
no fake drama story lines are out and
26
00:01:24,421 --> 00:01:26,909
the people that you see are actually the
27
00:01:26,910 --> 00:01:34,910
ones doing the work
28
00:01:38,459 --> 00:01:41,519
it's a good thing my mom kept all this
29
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,139
stuff on Jay it's ridiculous it's
30
00:01:43,140 --> 00:01:45,869
amazing man this is uh 30 years of uh
31
00:01:45,870 --> 00:01:47,579
what we do right yeah yeah see where you
32
00:01:47,580 --> 00:01:49,859
got your organizational skills yeah yeah
33
00:01:48,180 --> 00:01:50,579
to say the least I wouldn't have any if
34
00:01:50,580 --> 00:01:52,920
it wasn't for her so it's pretty awesome
35
00:01:51,299 --> 00:01:53,490
that she kept it all it was funny too
36
00:01:53,491 --> 00:01:55,618
because she was kind of down on herself
37
00:01:55,619 --> 00:01:57,600
about all of it she's like I wish I did
38
00:01:55,618 --> 00:01:58,379
a better job I think I think you got it
39
00:01:58,380 --> 00:02:00,179
I think she literally spent a year
40
00:02:00,180 --> 00:02:01,980
cataloging all this that's unreal man
41
00:02:01,981 --> 00:02:03,809
that was a big part of this whole thing
42
00:02:03,810 --> 00:02:05,969
was the family thing and yeah and then
43
00:02:05,970 --> 00:02:08,009
being involved my mom and dad both from
44
00:02:08,010 --> 00:02:09,899
the beginning I think it helped me get a
45
00:02:09,900 --> 00:02:12,120
good foothold in the industry and and
46
00:02:12,121 --> 00:02:14,160
everything and obviously we got to spend
47
00:02:14,161 --> 00:02:15,840
time together so yeah that was a good
48
00:02:14,159 --> 00:02:16,560
thing man look at these pictures yeah so
49
00:02:16,561 --> 00:02:19,759
I guess that's you your first little hot
50
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,800
out look at that huh
51
00:02:22,801 --> 00:02:25,799
yeah yeah that's 69 so you always had to
52
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,480
write number on it yeah tasteful I have
53
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,109
that still do you really yeah I have it
54
00:02:28,110 --> 00:02:30,179
at home actually believe it or not I
55
00:02:30,180 --> 00:02:32,280
don't collect anything but that was my
56
00:02:32,281 --> 00:02:34,800
first pedal car and it's probably it's
57
00:02:34,801 --> 00:02:36,719
not the car but I actually had a guy get
58
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,409
me one so it's actually sitting in the
59
00:02:38,410 --> 00:02:40,098
garage so it's pretty cool there you go
60
00:02:41,180 --> 00:02:43,799
oh there he is Grandpa this was the guy
61
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,920
that wrecked me right here as far as
62
00:02:46,921 --> 00:02:49,019
like uh everything had to be perfect
63
00:02:49,020 --> 00:02:51,119
um you know my dad taught me all the
64
00:02:49,620 --> 00:02:52,680
mechanical side of it but my grandpa
65
00:02:52,681 --> 00:02:54,480
being a pipefitter was
66
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,260
you know I used to scrub that Rusty pipe
67
00:02:55,261 --> 00:02:56,999
in that one car garage till it was
68
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,340
scrubbed in half and it was never good
69
00:02:57,959 --> 00:03:00,000
enough so he's the one that kind of
70
00:03:00,001 --> 00:03:02,219
brainwashed me into doing everything the
71
00:03:02,220 --> 00:03:04,199
right way so it's awesome that's pretty
72
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,419
awesome that was uh we're standing
73
00:03:06,420 --> 00:03:08,399
actually right here okay he's in
74
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,859
Grandpa's house and then we had an old
75
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,580
sheds and stuff out there it had to be
76
00:03:11,581 --> 00:03:13,950
man
77
00:03:13,951 --> 00:03:16,319
uh 20s maybe I don't know it looks like
78
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,959
somebody got on a pretty high ladder
79
00:03:17,039 --> 00:03:19,769
yeah I don't know yeah I don't like that
80
00:03:19,770 --> 00:03:21,660
that's probably my grandpa had the water
81
00:03:21,661 --> 00:03:23,879
tower okay he stood on his head and he
82
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,039
did a lot of stuff for the town just
83
00:03:23,878 --> 00:03:26,699
kind of like we do still and he had was
84
00:03:26,700 --> 00:03:28,439
doing some work on the Water Tower and
85
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,239
actually there's a picture of him
86
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,158
somewhere standing on his head on top of
87
00:03:32,159 --> 00:03:35,658
the water tower oh look at this like
88
00:03:35,659 --> 00:03:38,759
glass rings in high schools yeah
89
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,459
she went to a lot of high schools I got
90
00:03:41,460 --> 00:03:43,560
more more uh more rings than Tom Brady
91
00:03:41,459 --> 00:03:44,190
here you won every Super Bowl yeah that
92
00:03:44,191 --> 00:03:45,900
was pretty cool you know back in the day
93
00:03:45,901 --> 00:03:48,780
when they had the old Street Machine
94
00:03:48,781 --> 00:03:50,700
stuff that uh you'd win a ring you know
95
00:03:50,701 --> 00:03:53,759
if you were the grand champion and and
96
00:03:50,699 --> 00:03:53,758
Jesus the one yeah 1990. look at that so
97
00:03:53,759 --> 00:03:56,669
most of them I think are from probably
98
00:03:56,670 --> 00:03:59,159
90 with my 60 Chevy and uh how many of
99
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,319
these are what five of them yeah five
100
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,418
here so that's kind of cool
101
00:04:03,419 --> 00:04:06,269
all right and this one here this is one
102
00:04:06,270 --> 00:04:08,580
of my favorites because you know I can
103
00:04:07,019 --> 00:04:10,200
relate because your dad oh look at that
104
00:04:10,201 --> 00:04:13,200
I spent so much time with him but yeah
105
00:04:10,199 --> 00:04:13,198
yeah stock carpets stock car days
106
00:04:13,199 --> 00:04:15,869
you know it was it looked like a
107
00:04:15,870 --> 00:04:19,680
demolition derby here everything's all
108
00:04:19,681 --> 00:04:22,259
beat to that's awesome 69 again
109
00:04:22,260 --> 00:04:24,120
yeah see the rebels to the number did he
110
00:04:22,259 --> 00:04:24,720
do that on purpose yeah I don't I don't
111
00:04:24,721 --> 00:04:27,060
know honestly you know that's a good
112
00:04:27,061 --> 00:04:30,418
question I don't know where the I was
113
00:04:27,060 --> 00:04:30,417
born in 69 but I I don't know if that
114
00:04:30,418 --> 00:04:33,330
had any relevance on or not I'm not for
115
00:04:33,331 --> 00:04:35,790
sure I love it's a 57 Chevy yeah so yeah
116
00:04:35,791 --> 00:04:37,739
it's very iconic my grandpa welded in
117
00:04:37,740 --> 00:04:39,449
like quarter inch plates on all the
118
00:04:39,450 --> 00:04:41,310
headlights and you know obviously welded
119
00:04:41,311 --> 00:04:43,440
all the doors up cut the fenders out but
120
00:04:43,441 --> 00:04:47,280
they uh they definitely wrecked a lot of
121
00:04:47,281 --> 00:04:49,918
them got the clown yeah that's a creepy
122
00:04:49,919 --> 00:04:51,719
the clown right huh yeah that's a legit
123
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,459

so this is all when Jimmy was driving it
129
00:05:05,881 --> 00:05:08,340
and I don't know how long he drove it
130
00:05:08,341 --> 00:05:10,439
that was a pretty cool old hauler like
131
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,779
oh yeah that's too bad dining around
132
00:05:12,780 --> 00:05:15,600
somewhere there's old mom with the hot
133
00:05:15,601 --> 00:05:17,579
pants on yep so now my old man's driving
134
00:05:17,580 --> 00:05:20,160
it look at how hard they hit yeah and
135
00:05:20,161 --> 00:05:22,319
that awesome demolition derby
136
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,890
my grandpa used to weld rebar on the
137
00:05:22,891 --> 00:05:25,560
wheels too I don't really can't wait
138
00:05:23,459 --> 00:05:26,340
really yeah it's getting here so now he
139
00:05:26,341 --> 00:05:28,530
stepped up now he's into the Chevelle
140
00:05:28,531 --> 00:05:31,500
days so 66 Chevelle right like like my
141
00:05:31,501 --> 00:05:33,120

um there's a good one this is it right
143
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,259
here this is where he uh got hit and
144
00:05:40,260 --> 00:05:42,660
they rolled it over I'm pretty sure
145
00:05:40,259 --> 00:05:43,230
yeah right there oh man yep flipped her
146
00:05:43,231 --> 00:05:45,000
over
147
00:05:45,001 --> 00:05:47,610
it up pretty good yeah yeah
148
00:05:47,611 --> 00:05:50,010
see he actually he came back and he I
149
00:05:50,011 --> 00:05:52,799
think he either won or they that 91
150
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,060
- after they rolled it back over and fixed
- up and he was winning
151
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,698
This was pretty cool this um
152
00:05:59,699 --> 00:06:02,278

179
00:06:58,230 --> 00:07:00,840
been probably 69 roughly here
180
00:07:00,841 --> 00:07:03,210

00:07:03,211 --> 00:07:05,760
and uh pretty cool truck testing Lane
182
00:07:05,761 --> 00:07:08,130
yeah this is pretty cool huh the old uh
183
00:07:08,131 --> 00:07:09,960
Bisquick yeah a lot of people still ask
184
00:07:09,961 --> 00:07:12,120
about this car you know we did that
185
00:07:12,121 --> 00:07:14,639
thing and I think my mom and dad did
186
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,740
four at least four power tours in it you
187
00:07:16,741 --> 00:07:18,840
know had a 600 inch motor in it for a
188
00:07:16,740 --> 00:07:19,410
while yeah trick flow motor that we put
189
00:07:19,411 --> 00:07:21,318
in it and
190
00:07:21,319 --> 00:07:23,999
So speaking about the Power Tour there's
191
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,879
a new arrival in the shop it was
192
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:28,589
recently bought by George Poteet the
193
00:07:28,590 --> 00:07:30,539
owner and the driver of the Speed Demon
194
00:07:30,540 --> 00:07:32,670
and the Blowfish both of which hold
195
00:07:32,671 --> 00:07:34,530
world speed records we'll get into that
196
00:07:34,531 --> 00:07:36,419
a little bit later in the show Troy and
197
00:07:36,420 --> 00:07:38,459
his mom are actually going to get to
198
00:07:38,460 --> 00:07:40,198
drive it in a cross-country tour but
199
00:07:38,459 --> 00:07:41,239
before that it's going to be completely
200
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,419
changed
201
00:07:43,420 --> 00:07:46,529
you remember big Dean yeah yeah yeah he
202
00:07:46,530 --> 00:07:49,860
bought it from a guy in Tennessee with 2
203
00:07:49,861 --> 00:07:52,560
000 miles on it wow back I'm gonna say
204
00:07:52,561 --> 00:07:54,419
20 years ago and then put some air ride
205
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,049
out typical Dean you know yeah Wheels
206
00:07:55,050 --> 00:07:57,478
lowered it like you did a lot of stuff
207
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,258
and then Glenn seen it had to have it 16
208
00:07:58,259 --> 00:08:00,029
years ago and it I don't know if Glenn
209
00:08:00,030 --> 00:08:01,889
ever drove it sat up there and George
210
00:08:01,890 --> 00:08:03,690
wandered through the collection up there
211
00:08:03,691 --> 00:08:05,790
normally a year or two ago and seen it
212
00:08:05,791 --> 00:08:07,799
and George kind of big into the Survivor
213
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,079
Series car stuff like what Roadster
214
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:11,819
Shop's doing now and that yeah yeah
215
00:08:11,820 --> 00:08:15,120
leave the body alone put a drive train
216
00:08:15,121 --> 00:08:17,280
under you know good guys tours yeah so
217
00:08:17,281 --> 00:08:19,740
uh he had some interest in it so I got
218
00:08:19,741 --> 00:08:22,500
the deal to gather me and Danny and uh
219
00:08:22,501 --> 00:08:24,598
and George bought it from uh Glenn it's
220
00:08:22,500 --> 00:08:25,049
got 8 000 miles on it now so it's kind
221
00:08:25,050 --> 00:08:27,120
of cool you know it's kind of weird
222
00:08:27,121 --> 00:08:30,120
because it's like a you know it's a what
223
00:08:30,121 --> 00:08:32,158
is it a Brookwood wagon yeah Plain Jane
224
00:08:32,159 --> 00:08:33,959
who would who would say but who would
225
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:35,939
say the Brookwood wagon have 2 000 miles
226
00:08:35,940 --> 00:08:38,338
on it it's just a fluke so yeah so it's
227
00:08:38,339 --> 00:08:40,620
it's pretty cool so we uh my mom's been
228
00:08:38,339 --> 00:08:41,250
after me about maybe doing another one
229
00:08:41,251 --> 00:08:43,740
of the cross-country drives we haven't
230
00:08:43,741 --> 00:08:45,450
done one lately so that's a good mom
231
00:08:45,451 --> 00:08:48,149
George is uh more than cordial to always
232
00:08:48,150 --> 00:08:50,370
do another thing so we're gonna do a
233
00:08:50,371 --> 00:08:52,800
little more some chassis a little LSX
234
00:08:52,801 --> 00:08:54,660
376 with a single turbo awesome does
235
00:08:54,661 --> 00:08:57,080
George doesn't have nothing with a turbo
236
00:08:57,081 --> 00:08:59,160
so they figured he'd like he does it
237
00:08:59,161 --> 00:09:01,860
wait the guy that drives this doesn't
238
00:09:01,861 --> 00:09:03,600
have a street car with a turbo
239
00:09:01,860 --> 00:09:04,410
it's pretty awesome it's uh pretty
240
00:09:04,411 --> 00:09:06,510
pretty unmolested you got to check out
241
00:09:06,511 --> 00:09:09,018
under the hood here
242
00:09:09,019 --> 00:09:11,579
but what's cool about it is
243
00:09:11,580 --> 00:09:14,580
like bone stock but I mean the Chalk's
244
00:09:14,581 --> 00:09:17,580
still on the firewall wow right so if
245
00:09:17,581 --> 00:09:20,039
you used it or washed it a few times
246
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,560
that'd be dogs yeah that's kind of cool
247
00:09:22,561 --> 00:09:24,240
but uh um and then my mom you know Mom
248
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,080
and Dad had that 61 disc and they did
249
00:09:25,081 --> 00:09:27,060
all them power tours in yeah the silver
250
00:09:27,061 --> 00:09:28,890
one so so the year is kind of cool yeah
251
00:09:28,891 --> 00:09:30,959
there's just something we can turn
252
00:09:29,580 --> 00:09:31,709
around pretty quick you know and have a
253
00:09:31,710 --> 00:09:33,899
lot of fun with it you know and just to
254
00:09:32,458 --> 00:09:34,529
show people we still do this kind of
255
00:09:34,530 --> 00:09:36,269
stuff which we do you know it's still
256
00:09:36,270 --> 00:09:38,250
doing it right yeah it's you know I feel
257
00:09:38,251 --> 00:09:40,740
everything we do anyway is something you
258
00:09:40,741 --> 00:09:43,019
drive and use where I think a lot of
259
00:09:43,020 --> 00:09:45,360
shops aren't but this will just be
260
00:09:43,019 --> 00:09:46,200
something obviously that you can just
261
00:09:46,201 --> 00:09:48,120
like George does you know he does five
262
00:09:48,121 --> 00:09:50,190
or six of these years and he just gives
263
00:09:50,191 --> 00:09:51,930
the keys to different family and friends
264
00:09:51,931 --> 00:09:54,359
and they go on these tours so it's
265
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,219
that's something that's fun yeah so he
266
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,880
has a good time with it but one the you
267
00:09:56,881 --> 00:09:59,278
know you always hear that stupid oh it's
268
00:09:59,279 --> 00:10:02,000
- still got the stock spare tire in it but
- you got to see this one
269
00:10:07,139 --> 00:10:10,679
I pretty much figured that's what he was
270
00:10:10,680 --> 00:10:12,240
going to show me
271
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,020
so it has an original spare and low
272
00:10:13,021 --> 00:10:14,819
miles I think it's time to borrow the
273
00:10:14,820 --> 00:10:16,889
keys and take it for a dry ride to get a
274
00:10:16,890 --> 00:10:18,720
before perspective on out drives so I
275
00:10:18,721 --> 00:10:21,660
can really appreciate the after results
276
00:10:21,661 --> 00:10:24,320
- after all I don't have to worry about
- getting a flat
277
00:10:24,539 --> 00:10:26,550
Gotta be careful there's a lot of things
278
00:10:26,551 --> 00:10:28,500
to consider when you're driving
279
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,340
something like this that's been kind of
280
00:10:29,341 --> 00:10:31,379
modified and that's what most hot rods
281
00:10:31,380 --> 00:10:32,579
are in the world
282
00:10:32,580 --> 00:10:34,589
things like you know you put the big
283
00:10:34,590 --> 00:10:36,300
wheels on in the air suspension and all
284
00:10:36,301 --> 00:10:38,458
that and it's cool but you got to worry
285
00:10:38,459 --> 00:10:40,500
about ripping the fenders off because
286
00:10:38,458 --> 00:10:41,130
the tire rubs that's the kind of stuff
287
00:10:41,131 --> 00:10:42,870
they're going to work out of this car
288
00:10:42,871 --> 00:10:44,700
and give it the same look but it's
289
00:10:44,701 --> 00:10:48,060
things I got to be careful about because
290
00:10:48,061 --> 00:10:49,919
it's not my car
291
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,899
this Baby's only got 8 000 miles on it
292
00:10:51,900 --> 00:10:53,760
that's so cool I mean it's like driving
293
00:10:53,761 --> 00:10:57,100
a freaking Time Capsule the old 61 Chevy
294
00:10:57,101 --> 00:11:01,018
Brookwood
295
00:11:01,019 --> 00:11:03,418
I'm imagining Brookwood men
296
00:11:03,419 --> 00:11:06,479
you don't get special trim
297
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,420
but really back then what was there I
298
00:11:09,421 --> 00:11:11,820
mean you're not looking for power
299
00:11:11,821 --> 00:11:14,519
windows or anything anyway so
300
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,160
oh they warned me about everything saved
301
00:11:17,161 --> 00:11:18,179
for the brakes which
302
00:11:18,180 --> 00:11:19,799
I can tell you right now we're
303
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,519
- definitely packing four-wheel drums on
- this little sweetheart
304
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:25,918
Performance
305
00:11:25,919 --> 00:11:29,277
machine
306
00:11:29,278 --> 00:11:32,219
right there is one of the disadvantages
307
00:11:32,220 --> 00:11:34,439
of air ride it has advantages and
308
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,599
disadvantages but
309
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,500
unless you really get a system dialed in
310
00:11:39,501 --> 00:11:42,720
and know right where to have the bags
311
00:11:42,721 --> 00:11:44,519
like in height then you're going to have
312
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,579
a little bit of a bouncy suspension or
313
00:11:47,580 --> 00:11:49,560
too soft of a suspension and in the case
314
00:11:47,578 --> 00:11:50,340
of this one it just has analog switches
315
00:11:50,341 --> 00:11:52,199
and things so you so you could really
316
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:53,999
set up and dial it in based on these air
317
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,159
pressures and things and then go do
318
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,379
measurements on suspensions and know
319
00:11:58,380 --> 00:12:00,360
where the bags are at so to speak so you
320
00:12:00,361 --> 00:12:02,338
get optimal ride quality that's possible
321
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,149
most people don't do that they air these
322
00:12:03,150 --> 00:12:05,519
suckers all the way up then they get
323
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,639
where they're going they Park them they
324
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,039
drop the car down to look cool
325
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:12,330
that extra part
326
00:12:12,331 --> 00:12:15,719
that last 10 percent to make things work
327
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,299
is about 90 percent of the building
328
00:12:18,300 --> 00:12:21,420
and that's what makes these things work
329
00:12:18,299 --> 00:12:21,418
you know but 99 of the time using
330
00:12:21,419 --> 00:12:22,499
percentages
331
00:12:22,500 --> 00:12:24,599
it just isn't the case
332
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,210
the Brookwood is going to be a really
333
00:12:27,211 --> 00:12:29,220
cool project and I can't wait to get it
334
00:12:29,221 --> 00:12:31,680
going on it but it did remind me of
335
00:12:31,681 --> 00:12:34,639
- another wagon that Troy had worked on
- for one of his sponsors
336
00:12:34,799 --> 00:12:36,990
Um cool story about mothers the other
337
00:12:36,991 --> 00:12:39,419
day though with uh yeah you know that
338
00:12:39,420 --> 00:12:41,278
how far back that is awesome what
339
00:12:41,279 --> 00:12:43,439
mothers and Jim and his mom has you know
340
00:12:41,278 --> 00:12:44,160
known the family for a long time and we
341
00:12:44,161 --> 00:12:46,440
really got hooked up together in a power
342
00:12:46,441 --> 00:12:48,299
tours because mother's got behind all
343
00:12:48,300 --> 00:12:50,760
that and started doing stuff with him
344
00:12:50,761 --> 00:12:53,458
and became good family friends and we
345
00:12:53,459 --> 00:12:56,220
were at Pomona several years back and uh
346
00:12:56,221 --> 00:12:58,739
he's probably 10 years ago and they had
347
00:12:56,220 --> 00:12:58,739
their 59 Sedan Delivery that they
348
00:12:58,740 --> 00:13:01,500
basically started their business out of
349
00:13:01,501 --> 00:13:03,360
wow you know which I I found all out all
350
00:13:03,361 --> 00:13:05,579
this after I always knew the car was
351
00:13:05,580 --> 00:13:07,259
iconic to mothers you know it was a red
352
00:13:07,260 --> 00:13:08,939
mother Sedan Delivery with mothers on it
353
00:13:08,940 --> 00:13:11,639
everybody everybody knows it right yeah
354
00:13:08,940 --> 00:13:11,638
and it had been done several times over
355
00:13:11,639 --> 00:13:14,490
the years just kind of you know
356
00:13:14,491 --> 00:13:16,980
half-assed I'll say and so they were
357
00:13:16,981 --> 00:13:18,870
Jim's mom wanted that hey we you know me
358
00:13:18,871 --> 00:13:20,759
and me and your father started a
359
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,500
business out of the back of this car
360
00:13:22,501 --> 00:13:24,778
they've had it in the company for 40
361
00:13:22,500 --> 00:13:25,319
some years and they wanted to do justice
362
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,180
to it and have it gone through
363
00:13:27,181 --> 00:13:29,460
completely so we're very fortunate we
364
00:13:29,461 --> 00:13:31,469
had a meeting me and my dad and Jim and
365
00:13:31,470 --> 00:13:33,359
his mom and his mom wanted us to do it
366
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,460
you know I'm sure Jim was a big part of
367
00:13:35,461 --> 00:13:37,650
that and it was it was a great honor
368
00:13:37,651 --> 00:13:39,389
because when they hauled that car here
369
00:13:39,390 --> 00:13:42,000
for us to do it they passed a hundred
370
00:13:42,001 --> 00:13:44,759
shops on the way on the way here that
371
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:46,740
they work with so I thought it was a a
372
00:13:46,741 --> 00:13:49,139
great honor that mothers picked us to do
373
00:13:49,140 --> 00:13:51,480
it and you know that's that's the part
374
00:13:51,481 --> 00:13:53,278
of being loyal and having credibility in
375
00:13:53,279 --> 00:13:55,680
the industry period no matter what so
376
00:13:55,681 --> 00:13:58,019
Integrity yeah so that was uh that was
377
00:13:58,020 --> 00:13:59,939
unbelievable that that happened and in
378
00:13:58,019 --> 00:14:00,660
that that relationship is will be
379
00:14:00,661 --> 00:14:02,430
forever and it just keeps getting bigger
380
00:14:02,431 --> 00:14:04,260
so that's why we do it and obviously
381
00:14:04,261 --> 00:14:06,300
their products the best so that's in
382
00:14:05,039 --> 00:14:07,020
that's an easy it makes it easy right
383
00:14:07,021 --> 00:14:09,539
but the people are great you know and
384
00:14:09,540 --> 00:14:11,480
that's why we do it and Jim was a big
385
00:14:11,481 --> 00:14:13,799
part of this TV industry you know when
386
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,320
this whole TV industry came into our
387
00:14:16,321 --> 00:14:18,000
deal Jim was approached and he gave a
388
00:14:18,001 --> 00:14:19,680
few names out on who was who in the
389
00:14:19,681 --> 00:14:21,360
industry and we were one of them and you
390
00:14:19,679 --> 00:14:22,050
know so he's you know when you're when
391
00:14:22,051 --> 00:14:24,000
you're right with people and you have
392
00:14:24,001 --> 00:14:25,860
the credibility you help each other and
393
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,640
you get a lot farther so and when it
394
00:14:26,641 --> 00:14:28,860
comes to people Troy got a helping hand
395
00:14:28,861 --> 00:14:31,019

396
00:14:31,020 --> 00:14:33,120

426
00:15:41,699 --> 00:15:43,679
drove the sniper across country and
427
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,960
and ran in that group and it was just a
428
00:15:45,961 --> 00:15:48,840
special time and uh Angelo GM petroni if
429
00:15:48,841 --> 00:15:50,580
he was riding with me that year going
430
00:15:50,581 --> 00:15:52,740
through Colorado and the sniper and we
431
00:15:52,741 --> 00:15:54,930
got we're flying actually kind of going
432
00:15:54,931 --> 00:15:57,149
along and you know we're going 80 90
433
00:15:57,150 --> 00:15:59,129
because my dad had the Biscayne and it
434
00:15:59,130 --> 00:16:00,749
was geared right so we're buzzing
435
00:16:00,750 --> 00:16:03,239
through them I think it was around Vale
436
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,960
area you know through the Deep canyons
437
00:16:03,961 --> 00:16:06,060
and all of a sudden it opens up like oh
438
00:16:06,061 --> 00:16:07,979
yeah so I just you know roll into a
439
00:16:06,059 --> 00:16:08,640
little bit and yeah and I just kind of
440
00:16:08,641 --> 00:16:10,680
left my old man and we're running that's
441
00:16:10,681 --> 00:16:12,840
about like 140 150 whatever this cop was
442
00:16:12,841 --> 00:16:14,580
sitting on the overpass I didn't see him
443
00:16:14,581 --> 00:16:16,799
oh man so all of a sudden we slow down
444
00:16:15,539 --> 00:16:17,400
and we're just kind of talking all of a
445
00:16:17,401 --> 00:16:19,819
sudden here's these lights and I'm like
446
00:16:19,820 --> 00:16:21,430
oh crap was your heart
447
00:16:21,431 --> 00:16:24,150

448
00:16:24,151 --> 00:16:25,919
still like shaking from going that fast
449
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:27,719
and going through there you know and
450
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,700
yeah so I pulled over and Angela was
451
00:16:29,701 --> 00:16:31,589
like you're dead he had this kind of
452
00:16:31,590 --> 00:16:33,329
Italian encouraging voice you know and
453
00:16:33,330 --> 00:16:35,698
I'm reaching under the seat trying to
454
00:16:35,699 --> 00:16:37,679

out in Southern California just in
503
00:18:15,721 --> 00:18:17,879

and became good friends with him he
505
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,600
helped me early on and I never forget
506
00:18:21,601 --> 00:18:23,400
when Carly was born he sent a 500
507
00:18:21,599 --> 00:18:24,060
savings bond and a bunch of food and
508
00:18:24,061 --> 00:18:26,700
stuff you know I really that really hit
509
00:18:26,701 --> 00:18:28,380
home with me more than anything
510
00:18:28,381 --> 00:18:30,840
that we ever did in the car stuff
511
00:18:30,841 --> 00:18:32,760
together you know um I mean we put all
512
00:18:30,839 --> 00:18:33,599
the stereo systems in our semis and all
513
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:35,430
kinds of stuff for them yeah
514
00:18:35,431 --> 00:18:38,279
um that really meant a lot to me and and
515
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,038
I was friends with him the whole time
516
00:18:41,039 --> 00:18:43,019
and see on his TV show okay he was my
517
00:18:43,020 --> 00:18:45,240
freaking absolute hero you know and like
518
00:18:43,019 --> 00:18:45,960
you said going to the the stands and all
519
00:18:45,961 --> 00:18:47,759
that
520
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:49,798
was the same way for me and I had a
521
00:18:49,799 --> 00:18:51,660
subscription to Hot Rod Magazine you get
522
00:18:49,798 --> 00:18:52,410
those was in love with Boyd when people
523
00:18:52,411 --> 00:18:53,910
talk about him and they get the
524
00:18:53,911 --> 00:18:56,360
impression from the show he did they
525
00:18:56,361 --> 00:18:58,740
think he was a mean guy yeah
526
00:18:58,741 --> 00:19:01,558
I'm lucky that I got to meet him because
527
00:19:01,559 --> 00:19:03,599
of you you know before he passed but now
528
00:19:01,558 --> 00:19:04,349
he's a nice he was a quiet guy kind of
529
00:19:04,350 --> 00:19:06,779
you know and he just you know he was
530
00:19:06,780 --> 00:19:08,699
kind of shy so people got the wrong
531
00:19:08,700 --> 00:19:10,558
impression and then the TV show hurt him
532
00:19:10,559 --> 00:19:12,538
a little bit the way they had you know
533
00:19:12,539 --> 00:19:14,639
acting like all the drama and that yeah
534
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,440
because I actually asked him years later
535
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,130
you know why he was doing it and he was
536
00:19:17,131 --> 00:19:19,320
like oh it was just it was easy money
537
00:19:17,819 --> 00:19:19,979
for him he was tired of chasing the
538
00:19:19,980 --> 00:19:21,719
money in the hot rod and stuff and all
539
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:23,789
this and that but was a great guy and
540
00:19:23,790 --> 00:19:25,709
he's a he's a big part of this the
541
00:19:25,710 --> 00:19:28,019
reason this industry is where it's at I
542
00:19:28,020 --> 00:19:29,820
mean I'm talking a huge part it's
543
00:19:29,821 --> 00:19:31,558
because of him period when I tell people
544
00:19:29,819 --> 00:19:32,279
about him if I'm trying to explain him I
545
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,379
just say I mean for me the way I
546
00:19:34,380 --> 00:19:36,359
understand it he's basically the first
547
00:19:34,380 --> 00:19:37,110
person to ever get somebody to step up
548
00:19:37,111 --> 00:19:39,839
and pay more than 100 grams absolutely
549
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,479
and take a hot rod seriously he made it
550
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,759
legit yeah he made our industry legit
551
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:46,500
you know uh yeah hands down
552
00:19:46,501 --> 00:19:49,079
um there was a lot of other guys but he
553
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:50,880
was he was the guy yeah period and that
554
00:19:50,881 --> 00:19:53,519
made the difference and then this guy
555
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:54,870
here I mean like I said Gray
556
00:19:54,871 --> 00:19:57,420
most guys today wouldn't know him he was
557
00:19:57,421 --> 00:20:00,779
Hot Rod Magazine period man he's a guy
558
00:20:00,780 --> 00:20:03,659
that got me in I think it was probably
559
00:20:00,779 --> 00:20:03,659
1986 at Street Machine Nationals with my
560
00:20:03,660 --> 00:20:04,739
Chevelle
561
00:20:04,740 --> 00:20:07,680
seen the car and did a photo shoot for
562
00:20:07,681 --> 00:20:09,900
you know did an article thing on hot rod
563
00:20:09,901 --> 00:20:12,150
and he was my first guy that I met and
564
00:20:12,151 --> 00:20:14,190
become a great friend and when we did
565
00:20:14,191 --> 00:20:15,990
when we drove cross country in 1990 he
566
00:20:15,991 --> 00:20:18,480
was the guy that he rode with me you
567
00:20:18,481 --> 00:20:20,339
know that was the first Power Tour yeah
568
00:20:20,340 --> 00:20:22,558
ever you know what's known as the power
569
00:20:22,559 --> 00:20:25,139
turnout was called the victory tour and
570
00:20:25,140 --> 00:20:27,240
he rode with me in my 60 Chevy and he
571
00:20:25,140 --> 00:20:27,990
was the guy man I mean his stuff was
572
00:20:27,991 --> 00:20:30,240
interesting to read and he was Boyd's
573
00:20:28,740 --> 00:20:31,380
right hand man he was tight with Boyd
574
00:20:31,381 --> 00:20:34,620
and I think that's probably why it all
575
00:20:31,380 --> 00:20:34,618
worked but gray really uh helped Propel
576
00:20:34,619 --> 00:20:36,479
me
577
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,119
To what it was and I mean just think I
578
00:20:39,120 --> 00:20:41,879
mean he was worked for hot rod for I'm
579
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:43,050
going to say probably
580
00:20:43,051 --> 00:20:45,539
50 years at least probably you know he
581
00:20:45,540 --> 00:20:47,940
was legit you know now it's this
582
00:20:47,941 --> 00:20:50,279
revolving door yeah yeah different time
583
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,558
with social media but yeah he was the
584
00:20:52,559 --> 00:20:54,178
guy for sure and uh um
585
00:20:54,179 --> 00:20:56,969
yeah I sorely missed these guys for sure
586
00:20:56,970 --> 00:20:58,860
you know but I think that's why I had a
587
00:20:58,861 --> 00:21:01,380
lot of success early on was because the
588
00:21:01,381 --> 00:21:02,490
guys I came in Boyd and
589
00:21:02,491 --> 00:21:04,259
Posey all these guys I tailed in on the
590
00:21:04,260 --> 00:21:07,439
end of them so let's talk about Troy's
591
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:08,970
cars starting with the first
592
00:21:08,971 --> 00:21:11,550
it all started with uh the 66 Chevelle
593
00:21:11,551 --> 00:21:13,380
here yeah it was uh you know obviously
594
00:21:13,381 --> 00:21:15,180
as we've seen in the rate my dad's old
595
00:21:15,181 --> 00:21:17,249
race car stuff they didn't they ended up
596
00:21:17,250 --> 00:21:19,349
with racing a 66 Chevelles now my
597
00:21:19,350 --> 00:21:21,180
Grandpa bought this one brand new you
598
00:21:21,181 --> 00:21:23,340
know from the dealership in town here
599
00:21:23,341 --> 00:21:25,460
and I grew up in that car I remember
600
00:21:25,461 --> 00:21:27,599
hauling a mini bike in a back seat and
601
00:21:25,460 --> 00:21:28,379
bringing it down to the Honda dealer and
602
00:21:28,380 --> 00:21:31,918
everything so wow me and my sister
603
00:21:31,919 --> 00:21:34,740
sitting in this thing my grandpa was a
604
00:21:34,741 --> 00:21:36,659
uh volunteer firefighter so
605
00:21:34,740 --> 00:21:37,379
he'd be babysitting us on the weekends
606
00:21:37,380 --> 00:21:39,600
and we'd get a fire call so he would
607
00:21:39,601 --> 00:21:41,339
just put us in the car and drive us up
608
00:21:39,599 --> 00:21:41,999
as right on Main Street up here and he'd
609
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,759
go to the fire column we would just sit
610
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,520
in the car he just leave us in the car
611
00:21:47,521 --> 00:21:49,259
so you play with your iPhones right oh
612
00:21:49,260 --> 00:21:51,480
yeah yeah a lot a lot of yeah heck yeah
613
00:21:51,481 --> 00:21:53,640
video games yeah fun so we'd sit there
614
00:21:53,641 --> 00:21:55,500
for a couple hours and finally we would
615
00:21:55,501 --> 00:21:57,360
just walk back across the tracks and go
616
00:21:55,500 --> 00:21:57,989
back to his house over here so after
617
00:21:57,990 --> 00:21:59,609
spending a good deal of his early
618
00:21:59,610 --> 00:22:01,649
childhood sitting in the 66 waiting for
619
00:22:01,650 --> 00:22:03,570
Grandpa to put out fires his grandpa
620
00:22:03,571 --> 00:22:06,058
actually gave him the car after he blew
621
00:22:06,059 --> 00:22:08,220
the engine up when Troy was only a
622
00:22:08,221 --> 00:22:11,099
teenager which is when he decided to
623
00:22:11,100 --> 00:22:13,860
test his hand at custom work yeah and in
624
00:22:13,861 --> 00:22:15,779
this phase we brought it down to um uh
625
00:22:15,780 --> 00:22:18,418
Street Machine Nationals and just kind
626
00:22:15,779 --> 00:22:19,200
of looked around back in probably 86 and
627
00:22:19,201 --> 00:22:22,679
then I kind of seen what was going on so
628
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,259
then we'd come back next year and
629
00:22:25,260 --> 00:22:27,179
that's where we kind of tore it back
630
00:22:27,180 --> 00:22:29,099
apart did the pro street thing yeah yeah
631
00:22:29,100 --> 00:22:31,320
and and kind of got that all going and
632
00:22:29,099 --> 00:22:32,099
and but it was still kind of simple
633
00:22:32,100 --> 00:22:33,990
we didn't know what we were doing I mean
634
00:22:33,991 --> 00:22:36,150
it was so bad the head Fabricators were
635
00:22:36,151 --> 00:22:38,490
my dad and Gene you know and I was just
636
00:22:38,491 --> 00:22:40,500
kind of yeah so that's how uh it was a
637
00:22:40,501 --> 00:22:42,779
little rough in the early days but I
638
00:22:42,780 --> 00:22:45,058
don't know man so we got we got it done
639
00:22:45,059 --> 00:22:46,798
to this stage I went back to um
640
00:22:46,799 --> 00:22:49,139
Street Machine Nationals that's when I
641
00:22:46,798 --> 00:22:49,860
met gray and gray shot for hot rod the
642
00:22:49,861 --> 00:22:51,960
first time and that kind of kick-started
643
00:22:51,961 --> 00:22:55,139
a hell of an honor yeah it was pretty
644
00:22:55,140 --> 00:22:57,600
cool you know and I was 16. so it was
645
00:22:57,601 --> 00:22:59,580
pretty cool yeah it's a big deal to have
646
00:22:59,581 --> 00:23:01,798
the feature second time through it was
647
00:23:01,799 --> 00:23:03,779
more uh looking back it wasn't as even
648
00:23:03,780 --> 00:23:06,000
tasteful as it was when it was red but
649
00:23:06,001 --> 00:23:08,339
well it got a lot more attention yeah
650
00:23:08,340 --> 00:23:10,558
and they went through some phases and
651
00:23:10,559 --> 00:23:13,139
then this phase was good this was this
652
00:23:13,140 --> 00:23:15,240
site seeing Steve Stanford on TV doing
653
00:23:13,140 --> 00:23:15,870
some stuff on some show and got a hold
654
00:23:15,871 --> 00:23:17,700
of him and then he kind of did this
655
00:23:17,701 --> 00:23:20,038
wheel design and this this graphics and
656
00:23:20,039 --> 00:23:22,740
it kind of helped the car a little bit
657
00:23:22,741 --> 00:23:24,298
so yeah so we did that
658
00:23:22,740 --> 00:23:24,989
that's what got the ball rolling it's
659
00:23:24,990 --> 00:23:27,658
awesome and kept it for quite a while
660
00:23:27,659 --> 00:23:29,519
then my mom and dad bought it from me so
661
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,919
I could do the next card which is the 60
662
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:33,779
Chevy just when I was here I know the
663
00:23:33,780 --> 00:23:36,120
things we were doing you know under your
664
00:23:33,779 --> 00:23:36,839
direction was at least two years ahead
665
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:38,699
of anything else then you go to SEMA two
666
00:23:38,700 --> 00:23:41,279
years later and you see it there right
667
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,580
they're a big idea yeah but like this
668
00:23:41,279 --> 00:23:44,578
car this was done what 1990 yeah no one
669
00:23:44,579 --> 00:23:46,499
was touching these things no they
670
00:23:46,500 --> 00:23:48,480
weren't even messing with a 60 Chevy let
671
00:23:48,481 --> 00:23:50,789
alone winter mint green you know or a
672
00:23:50,790 --> 00:23:52,980
pro street net or I had the only set up
673
00:23:52,981 --> 00:23:55,080
billet wheels at the Street Machine
674
00:23:55,081 --> 00:23:56,789
Nationals that year that's in 1990
675
00:23:56,790 --> 00:23:59,280
because that the markets didn't even
676
00:23:59,281 --> 00:24:01,020
cross over back then no like the street
677
00:23:59,279 --> 00:24:01,799
rod did their own thing yeah and these
678
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:03,569
lunatics did their own thing and nobody
679
00:24:03,570 --> 00:24:05,639
kind of intermixed and right I'd brushed
680
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,590
trim on it and you know billet wheels
681
00:24:07,591 --> 00:24:09,509
and stuff like that which wasn't in our
682
00:24:09,510 --> 00:24:11,519
really in our industry yet so it was
683
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,290
kind of interesting and back in the day
684
00:24:13,291 --> 00:24:15,120
when I was doing these cars obviously I
685
00:24:15,121 --> 00:24:17,038
had
686
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,759
it was you know I didn't want to take
687
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:19,798
the time to actually go learn how to do
688
00:24:19,799 --> 00:24:21,569
anything the right way so the only way
689
00:24:21,570 --> 00:24:24,209
to figure it out is do it so yeah so you
690
00:24:24,210 --> 00:24:26,009
know the cars I like the unique body
691
00:24:26,010 --> 00:24:28,379
styles anyway just because if you're
692
00:24:28,380 --> 00:24:30,600
looking at something new even to this
693
00:24:28,380 --> 00:24:31,350
day if it's a new body style and you're
694
00:24:31,351 --> 00:24:33,089
looking at something somebody did to one
695
00:24:33,090 --> 00:24:35,219
at least your mind is open when you're
696
00:24:34,079 --> 00:24:35,790
looking at it you're not you don't have
697
00:24:35,791 --> 00:24:37,740
a picture of all the other ones you've
698
00:24:37,741 --> 00:24:40,740
seen and you're comparing it to that so
699
00:24:37,740 --> 00:24:40,739
69 Camaro yeah right how many all you're
700
00:24:40,740 --> 00:24:42,689
thinking while you're looking at is
701
00:24:42,690 --> 00:24:44,428
every other one you see yeah so I always
702
00:24:44,429 --> 00:24:46,168
picked on the weird body styles I like
703
00:24:46,169 --> 00:24:48,149
them better and then obviously the weird
704
00:24:48,150 --> 00:24:50,130
colors I just I like them colors at the
705
00:24:50,131 --> 00:24:52,079
time obviously they're terrible if you
706
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:53,459
use them today
707
00:24:53,460 --> 00:24:55,650
but but and then you know everything was
708
00:24:55,651 --> 00:24:57,540
monochromatic that was kind of the thing
709
00:24:57,541 --> 00:24:59,550
then yeah and we maybe helped start and
710
00:24:59,551 --> 00:25:01,199
Scott Sullivan too but
711
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,058
but you know then I didn't have to spend
712
00:25:01,919 --> 00:25:03,689
the money on the Chrome or nothing
713
00:25:03,690 --> 00:25:05,759
either because that was my own money at
714
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,399
that time and I didn't have a whole lot
715
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,259
so yeah I felt that I gained a lot of
716
00:25:10,260 --> 00:25:12,120
ground with uh with little
717
00:25:12,121 --> 00:25:13,560
you know back then and
718
00:25:13,561 --> 00:25:16,199
then just like on my 60 Chevy you know
719
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,079
and then we drove it cross country
720
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:20,819
learned a lot that was a super nice car
721
00:25:19,079 --> 00:25:21,599
so the one one of the memories that we
722
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,550
always talk about to us today you know
723
00:25:23,551 --> 00:25:25,620
is uh you know things evolving how you
724
00:25:25,621 --> 00:25:28,679
do things you know and and back then
725
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,079
when I did my 60 Chevy we drove that
726
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,240
thing cross country which is cool made
727
00:25:33,241 --> 00:25:35,399
it drove it and snow everything on the
728
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,399
way there damn and it was in the
729
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,160
Peterson Booth which had been Hot Rod
730
00:25:38,161 --> 00:25:41,220
Magazine at the time yeah so I spent I
731
00:25:41,221 --> 00:25:43,940
think two days at the I think we were at
732
00:25:43,941 --> 00:25:47,159
the um what's the castle on the corner
733
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:50,278
uh the big hotel in Vegas yeah oh
734
00:25:50,279 --> 00:25:52,080
Excalibur yes we stayed there and I I me
735
00:25:50,278 --> 00:25:52,679
and I had no we'd made some temporary
736
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,259
inner fenders over the wheels like
737
00:25:55,260 --> 00:25:58,440
splash guards and they broke off about
738
00:25:58,441 --> 00:26:00,480
halfway across country so we took the
739
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,110
car apart and cleaned it all up I took
740
00:26:01,111 --> 00:26:02,819
all the front suspension off and
741
00:26:02,820 --> 00:26:04,798
everything you know and cleaned it up
742
00:26:04,799 --> 00:26:06,658
man in the parking lot and brought it in
743
00:26:06,659 --> 00:26:08,339
did the show and I'll never one of my
744
00:26:08,340 --> 00:26:11,039
Fondest Memories of that year was this
745
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:14,278
guy walking up with this kid showing us
746
00:26:14,279 --> 00:26:17,158
kid the car you know and I had all that
747
00:26:17,159 --> 00:26:18,839
brushed trim on there yeah and it had a
748
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:20,640
few little Wiggles and waves in it you
749
00:26:18,839 --> 00:26:21,360
know that we'd never allow ever you know
750
00:26:21,361 --> 00:26:23,160
that's but there's things that you go
751
00:26:23,161 --> 00:26:25,259
through in this whole phase that how old
752
00:26:25,260 --> 00:26:27,028
were you yeah at that time I was 19.
753
00:26:27,029 --> 00:26:28,979
Come on so you go through these phases
754
00:26:28,980 --> 00:26:31,139
of stuff that stages so bad that like it
755
00:26:31,140 --> 00:26:32,939
makes you do things better obviously
756
00:26:32,940 --> 00:26:35,399
yeah this guy walks up with his kid and
757
00:26:33,778 --> 00:26:36,000
he's like hey I could hear him you know
758
00:26:36,001 --> 00:26:38,340
he didn't know I own the car he's like
759
00:26:38,341 --> 00:26:40,558
yeah hey son look at this car the trim's
760
00:26:40,559 --> 00:26:42,480
all beat to on it basically is what
761
00:26:40,558 --> 00:26:43,139
the guy said he's killed his kid because
762
00:26:43,140 --> 00:26:45,659
he's got a couple little Wiggles in it
763
00:26:43,798 --> 00:26:46,259
you know it was brushed so that was just
764
00:26:46,260 --> 00:26:48,960
one of the things that we actually talk
765
00:26:48,961 --> 00:26:50,040
about to this day
766
00:26:50,041 --> 00:26:52,798
um at the shop of stuff like that you
767
00:26:52,799 --> 00:26:55,439
know that's why it just stains you it's
768
00:26:52,798 --> 00:26:55,439
like okay that that's never going to
769
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,004
happen again so it just makes everything
770
00:26:58,005 --> 00:27:00,838
evolve and have to be so damn nice
771
00:27:00,839 --> 00:27:02,939
they got their train
772
00:27:02,940 --> 00:27:09,379
that's a faster
773
00:27:09,380 --> 00:27:11,999
red rides by Troy has been featured on
774
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,670
countless Automotive magazines for their
775
00:27:14,671 --> 00:27:16,379
design and Engineering abilities winning
776
00:27:16,380 --> 00:27:18,389
everything they ever set their mind to
777
00:27:18,390 --> 00:27:22,140
so much so that Troy isn't even worried
778
00:27:22,141 --> 00:27:26,239
about trophies anymore his new focus is
779
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,980
breaking records speed records foreign
780
00:27:28,981 --> 00:27:31,019
Legend George Poteet owner of the wagon
781
00:27:31,020 --> 00:27:32,700
that I was driving earlier also owns the
782
00:27:31,019 --> 00:27:33,510
two Monsters of assault I'm talking
783
00:27:33,511 --> 00:27:36,309
about the most decorated cars out there
784
00:27:36,310 --> 00:27:38,298
the Blowfish and the speed deal
785
00:28:01,919 --> 00:28:05,490
he's a hot rod shop owner's dream client
786
00:28:05,491 --> 00:28:07,920
and has gone over 400 miles per hour on
787
00:28:07,921 --> 00:28:10,170
the ground more than any other man alive
788
00:28:10,171 --> 00:28:12,659
he got Troy started in racing with the
789
00:28:12,660 --> 00:28:14,640
Blowfish
790
00:28:14,641 --> 00:28:17,240
- the Blowfish starter Life as a sad
- little blue car
791
00:28:21,140 --> 00:28:24,777
And then it became this with almost no
792
00:28:24,778 --> 00:28:27,480
original parts left on the car it became
793
00:28:27,481 --> 00:28:29,820
the world's fastest in several
794
00:28:29,821 --> 00:28:32,280
categories including going over 317
795
00:28:32,281 --> 00:28:34,319
miles per hour on a race track that
796
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,739
might as well be made of ice and now
797
00:28:37,740 --> 00:28:40,500
Troy has turned his hand to help other
798
00:28:37,740 --> 00:28:40,499
owners smash records of assault too so
799
00:28:40,500 --> 00:28:42,990
yeah we built the Streamliner that was
800
00:28:42,991 --> 00:28:46,140
another challenge that we wanted to do
801
00:28:46,141 --> 00:28:49,259
we built that one in six months from
802
00:28:49,260 --> 00:28:51,179
start to finish and look unfortunately
803
00:28:51,180 --> 00:28:53,038
until like last year we never had really
804
00:28:53,039 --> 00:28:54,900
good track to run it on and ended up
805
00:28:54,901 --> 00:28:57,040
making a pretty good pass for two years
806
00:28:57,041 --> 00:28:59,179
ago I guess now at 350 and
807
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,249
qualifying for a record but then it
808
00:29:05,250 --> 00:29:07,020
rained out swinging a chance to back it
809
00:29:07,021 --> 00:29:08,879
up so we've been patiently waiting for
810
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,278
that car to get a good course but it
811
00:29:09,659 --> 00:29:12,750
showed that what it'll do so that's kind
812
00:29:12,751 --> 00:29:15,950
of interesting
813
00:29:16,798 --> 00:29:19,079
so you got a chance to meet Troy today
814
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,720
but we really haven't shown you what
815
00:29:21,721 --> 00:29:23,460
he's working on here's some of his
816
00:29:23,461 --> 00:29:26,010
current projects the 41 Chevy this is
817
00:29:26,011 --> 00:29:29,278
the most technologically advanced and
818
00:29:29,279 --> 00:29:31,859
functional hot rod ever made not just
819
00:29:31,860 --> 00:29:33,659
gadgets but drivability they even
820
00:29:33,660 --> 00:29:35,879
figured in serviceability
821
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:37,559
every bit of this car is made in the
822
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:38,609
shop
823
00:29:38,610 --> 00:29:40,709
there's also a third generation Camaro
824
00:29:40,710 --> 00:29:43,799
called the f-87 the only original parts
825
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,200
of this car are the glass and the
826
00:29:46,201 --> 00:29:48,119
a-pillars everything else was made from
827
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,340
either Billet aluminum or flat sheets of
828
00:29:50,341 --> 00:29:52,199
metal you can expect this Camaro to put
829
00:29:50,339 --> 00:29:52,890
the third gen on the map and open the
830
00:29:52,891 --> 00:29:54,720
door to people giving this once
831
00:29:54,721 --> 00:29:56,829
overlooked car a first place spot in
832
00:29:56,830 --> 00:30:00,178
their shop
833
00:30:00,179 --> 00:30:03,089
stream of top builds in the country that
834
00:30:03,090 --> 00:30:05,010
actually pass through rad rides for
835
00:30:05,011 --> 00:30:07,259
getting the rad rides treatment this
836
00:30:07,260 --> 00:30:09,179
could be anything that involves making
837
00:30:09,180 --> 00:30:11,220
the car work and drive as good as they
838
00:30:11,221 --> 00:30:13,140
look
839
00:30:13,141 --> 00:30:15,360
this season we're going to be showing
840
00:30:13,140 --> 00:30:15,740
you what it takes to build the best hot
841
00:30:15,741 --> 00:30:23,741
rods on Earth
