Hot Rod Blues, Episode 6.1, Don't Answer The Door

The boys are back in the shop at Steel Rose for episode 6 of Hot Rod Blues. They talk about the past week's score and the challenges of driving modern cars versus the beauty of driving an old(er) car. Shawn Young went to Nashville and found a trove of parts for his pickup. Shawn Brereton also went to Nashville for the swap meet and spent more than he made. Javi is still looking for his Impala. If you see it, please let him know before he has a breakdown. Mike has been working on the stance of his ‘32 Ford, which leads to a discussion on the dangers of cut-off wheels.

Javi talks about his trip to Lexington, Tennessee, for more parts on his project including some Wide-5 wheels, I-beams, and axles. It’s a matter of pride for him to save early parts for others if he doesn’t need them. Javi kicks into show-and-tell to explain what the Wide-5 pattern is on early Fords. He plans to run them on the front of his project after making an adapter.

The conversation turns into Shawn B and Mike’s journeys to turn their hobby into a business and how it is never too late to chase your passion. When you’re young, you never know where you may end up or who you will meet along the way that may change your path. That discussion leads them to the type of people you find in the industry, changing shops, and shop drama.
