The guys welcome Mark Prosser once again to the podcast to discuss stainless welding tips, including why dedicated wire brushes are a must and how to balance amperage with travel speed. From the metallurgy of 304 vs. 321 alloys to the high-stakes world of back purging, Mark breaks down why stainless is a unique beast compared to mild steel. Whether you’re building a turbo manifold or custom exhaust, discover how to use gas lenses, manage thermal expansion, and nail "the dip" to achieve those perfect, Instagram-ready welds.

"He’s just a great guy, a great teacher, a professor of hot rods and of paints," says Willie in welcoming Kevin Tetz for a deep dive into his "Garbage Camaro" build.Tetz details how he's resurrecting a discarded '74 Camaro and transforming it into "the car that I couldn't afford to buy." He also shares his thoughts on the ever-evolving world of automotive painting and how his “Paintucation” series can help new and seasoned painters alike.

While SEMA is the "bling," AAPEX is the "soul" of the automotive industry - where the daily drivers get fixed. Live from AAPEX 2025, Kevin and Willie sit down with Dustin Pedley from bproauto to discuss how they leverage the massive engineering footprint of Stellantis and Mopar to create "Next Level" parts, using the same engineers who validate OE parts to ensure aftermarket reliability. Discover how they use "inside baseball" knowledge to identify common OE failure points and engineer them out of their aftermarket components—offering high-tier quality for everything from 1970s classics to modern daily drivers.

On this episode Willie and Kevin talk with Mark Reeb of Power Brake Booster Exchange about troubleshooting and fixing classic brake systems. Mark, a true expert in the field, dives into common problems like leaks, vacuum issues, and incorrect parts, offering valuable tips and tricks for enthusiasts. "That’s some great advice you guys, go back to the basics, start with one change and one adjustment, not five or seven or everything else and you will isolate it," says Willie, highlighting the practical advice shared. Whether you're dealing with a hot rod, muscle car, or any classic ride, this episode will equip you with the "stopping knowledge" you need.

Direct from SEMA 2025, Kevin and Willie explore what it means to be "Built Different" with Carlyle Tools’ Joe Sabo and the company’s latest sponsored NHRA Top Fuel driver, Maddi Gordon. The guys get hands-on with gearless ratchets, drill bits that won't walk on diamond plate, and the world’s first creeper with a kickstand. Joe explains the philosophy of designing tools for how they are actually used, while Maddi shares her new journey of representing the brand both as a "wrench" and as a driver of an 11,000-horsepower "Venom Green" dragster for her rookie Top Fuel season. Discover how Carlyle is inspiring a new generation to build professional kits without the burden of "tool truck debt”.
