Two Guys Garage Podcast

In this episode, the guys discuss some builds that really blew them away at the recent SEMA Show. Chief among these is the amazing ‘57 Chevy with a Gen 3 Hemi powered by hydrogen built by Jeff Lutz and Clay Millican in partnership with CRC’s Build for the Future scholarship program. “We’re 100% here,” Clay tells Willie, “doing these car projects we’ve done the last couple of years because of CRC putting together a program with Tech Force Foundation to provide scholarships for young people that want to work with their hands.” Listen in to hear two masters of the trade share their passion and commitment for innovation in service of nurturing the tradespeople of tomorrow.

Sterling Backus, the man who's made a name for himself 3D printing a Lamborghini, is back with an update on his remarkable story of success and failure.

Nonetheless, “the carbon fiber tub was in amazingly good condition, so we were able to fix [it] and put a new A-pillar in and then the race was on!" You’ve got to hear it to believe this amazing story of a man that's changing the 3D printing game, right out of his home garage.
