• 0:07
  which means Malcolm has to stay and do the podcast stuff.
• 0:09
  Sorry, Malcolm. All right, cool.
• 0:12
  We have a guest. We've been kind of ripe getting
• 0:15
  pretty lucky with the guests. Yes, I never thought in a
• 0:18
  million years that we would be having up a podcast with you.
• 0:20
  We have K of super life. Thank you.
• 0:23
  Yeah. I mean I'm surprised anyone
• 0:25
  wants to hear me say anything. Well, because I personally have
• 0:32
  questions. Yeah, about some things that got
• 0:35
  you, where she specialized in. Do you want to tell everyone?
• 0:38
  What kind of shop you are? What kind of shop you have?
• 0:40
  It is a shop right here, dude. But like it's so hard to
• 0:43
  explain. That's the number one thing like
• 0:44
  down to people who ask to friends to family, they go like
• 0:48
  what do you do? I don't know what.
• 0:52
  I can't put myself in a category or name because it's not a body
• 0:57
  shop. I have a sign when you walk in
• 0:59
  and saying, Not a body shop. What why do you have people
• 1:03
  coming in there is fender on my camera or something like dude,
• 1:09
  I'm not doing this is why? That's why I brought him here.
• 1:12
  So you're more I would say. Like you're more of an artist.
• 1:15
  Then who the hell am? I sounds like that.
• 1:23
  You can't describe it because to me that tells me You're just
• 1:27
  gonna do anything. I saw that you guys are working
• 1:29
  on a wagon I was like, what the fuck?
• 1:31
  Yes. Yes.
• 1:32
  Well. Okay, so here's the thing to, to
• 1:34
  kind of correct that a bunch of people always reach out and say
• 1:37
  you guys you guys you guys it's just you it's just me.
• 1:42
  I would like it was a team at one point and then slowly I just
• 1:46
  started whatever just doing things now, it's been just me
• 1:49
  for a while. So everything that's going on
• 1:52
  from step one to done, do you have like helpers come in and
• 1:56
  like yeah, yeah. Yes.
• 1:57
  Oh, how it hurts? Yeah, I mean, yeah, but there
• 2:06
  are things. I don't want it to and a time a
• 2:08
  time when you call it happy manner.
• 2:11
  Yeah yeah. Because efficient well, what my
• 2:13
  fish I'm is worth, you know, like sanding and all that means
• 2:18
  or even that you have. But but here's the thing I like
• 2:22
  that. Yeah.
• 2:23
  You know, when I know I have a day like, okay, I wake up in the
• 2:28
  morning I got I know I got nine hours or tell or 10 hours of
• 2:32
  work. Day of just sending, right?
• 2:33
  Okay, the best. Yeah, the best said, you know
• 2:36
  what you're doing? And I'm in the zone.
• 2:39
  I got nobody talking to me, I got the music going.
• 2:42
  It's the best, it's the best. I understand Frank, he's the
• 2:44
  fucking wet dream. Well, I was gonna say if it's
• 2:47
  going to have a comparison. I usually only work in there
• 2:51
  when I'm alone like, on a weekend and I usually get a lot
• 2:54
  of shit done. If I come here on unless I call
• 2:56
  You, yeah, unless you continue ignoring me.
• 2:58
  Go hiking or something - no, I haven't.
• 3:01
  But I understand what you're saying being alone is the most
• 3:04
  efficient way that I've see. I mean, by no means am I saying
• 3:07
  it's the right way. But in terms of what I'm doing,
• 3:10
  yeah, alone. Because when I, when I had guys
• 3:14
  there, it's like sure I'm working, but my ears and my eyes
• 3:18
  are over there. I could hear the guy sanding and
• 3:21
  I know he's doing it. Wrong just by listening to it.
• 3:24
  So I got like, okay, I got stopped, but I do, go over
• 3:26
  there, tell me what Come back. When I come back I'm like what
• 3:28
  was I doing again? Where's that tool?
• 3:29
  What was I doing? Where's the paper?
• 3:31
  So it's just it kind of slows me down a little bit.
• 3:34
  Yeah not to say again it's not the right way.
• 3:37
  I'm just very stubborn when it comes to my work.
• 3:39
  Yeah, so that being said, I do have help I had a lot of help
• 3:45
  especially recently to I recently called up David Bob,
• 3:48
  I'm sure. Yeah, I was going to say you had
• 3:49
  him working there for a while he's the fucking best.
• 3:51
  Yeah, so so he came back for a while to kind of have to kind of
• 3:55
  help me out, but then he had to do.
• 3:56
  Do some job stuff but any kind of small help is good.
• 4:01
  But as far as having it, yeah, consistent consistently, it felt
• 4:07
  like work again. Like I did this so I don't have
• 4:10
  to work. Yeah, yeah, but now I'm going in
• 4:12
  and I gotta do this clerical boss.
• 4:13
  Shit, I hate being a boss. I just want to work.
• 4:16
  I hate the office stuff. I had all the stuff I just want
• 4:18
  to work. I get it.
• 4:19
  So when the guys are in there, it gives me now a job.
• 4:23
  Ya, gotta be a boss. I gotta be a manager.
• 4:25
  Yeah, God I feel you on. That is definitely an artist.
• 4:29
  Yo, yeah, that is. He's an artist.
• 4:38
  Yeah, and and dude, know that that I can, I can completely I
• 4:42
  completely get that because then what your vision of something is
• 4:46
  is affected by that. Like because you had to rely on
• 4:49
  somebody else's like, you know, of course it's not.
• 4:51
  It will never be exactly how exactly in my line of work is a
• 4:55
  little different because Cuz it's not like it's just a
• 4:59
  service, it's my eye, it's my opinion.
• 5:03
  It's a lot of things that go into it.
• 5:05
  So when I pass that off to someone else, it's kind of
• 5:08
  against what I did this in the first place for.
• 5:11
  Yeah, it was, you're paying for for me.
• 5:14
  Yeah, that's what it is. And just figuring that out.
• 5:17
  Like, obviously I've been doing this for however, long 10 12
• 5:20
  years, but I've only been a boss for a year, two years.
• 5:24
  Yeah, I remember that. Yeah.
• 5:27
  I'm still kind of the same as me.
• 5:28
  Honestly, how long have you been here?
• 5:30
  Like, with employees and working on stuff and we're kind of
• 5:34
  customers cars years? Three years really?
• 5:37
  I don't weigh long. Well, I had the business since
• 5:39
  2012, but we were just selling parts and like out of rare out
• 5:43
  of my parent's garage. Wow.
• 5:45
  Yeah, we would rarely hustled. Yeah, and I worked at a bunch of
• 5:50
  Nissan dealerships, Chris worked at Nissan, so that's what we
• 5:52
  were doing and Justin used to work here.
• 5:55
  Justin hoytsman. Justin Justin Hoyts, my I don't
• 5:58
  remember him. He had that Coop and that was
• 6:00
  our final bout. So you might remember my final
• 6:02
  that one. Yeah yeah I remember that car.
• 6:05
  So like our look good in the beginning he was working on cars
• 6:07
  and stuff like that was the last that was like four years ago
• 6:10
  maybe something like that. Basically, when I lost my job at
• 6:12
  Nissan then we came here. All right?
• 6:14
  Fuck it, I'll go. But we have the shop for
• 6:18
  possibly six or seven years now. No shirt.
• 6:21
  But yeah, we had a bunch of like I had Justin and my other
• 6:24
  friend, Nico. And we were splitting the shop.
• 6:26
  So, It was cut, dude. I always tell everyone.
• 6:29
  I took the slowest safest route to where I am right now.
• 6:32
  That's basically what I said. But you're here though, like, it
• 6:36
  doesn't matter how long it took. The only thing that matters is
• 6:39
  the end result of your here here, and there, all the people
• 6:42
  that are not obviously the proof shows numbers don't lie, it's
• 6:45
  hard to. It's hard to like realize that
• 6:48
  though, right? Oh, being in it.
• 6:50
  You know, I mean socks, of course, it does because you're
• 6:52
  setting this standard for yourself every single day and
• 6:56
  you're never Hitting it never never every single day is like,
• 7:00
  oh my God, I'm horrible at what I do, what I do this, this was a
• 7:04
  mistake. Why don't I just get something
• 7:06
  secure? Yeah, dammit.
• 7:07
  I wish I just had a paycheck at the end of every week at the
• 7:10
  end, like it sucks. But there's more bad than good,
• 7:16
  a lot more. But the goods are so valuable
• 7:19
  that I'm still looking forward and it's like that it's just
• 7:24
  that thing that we have where it's like, you just don't Want
• 7:27
  to give up. That gets not an option.
• 7:29
  Oh yeah I mean like it's that little thing you do.
• 7:31
  That's that's the worst. Yeah and I feel like if I gave
• 7:35
  up Of course I like me personally I would be upset but
• 7:39
  I would feel like the way everyone looks at me, too.
• 7:41
  I would like damn like I said all this shit I said I was going
• 7:44
  to do this and this and I didn't come through like yeah.
• 7:46
  Like no way half of it was just me trying to be like I said all
• 7:50
  the stuff I was going to do. I gotta do it.
• 7:51
  I have to do it. I said that's good though.
• 7:53
  I said it. Yeah and like there's times I'll
• 7:56
  tell people a goal just so they could hold me accountable for
• 8:00
  the goal because I don't want to be played out in the end saying,
• 8:03
  look at this fucking bastard. I'm not sure if I could curse
• 8:05
  now. You're good, you're good.
• 8:06
  Look, you look at this fucking bastard.
• 8:07
  You know, he he said this shit and he didn't say this, but he's
• 8:10
  a liar, there's no everything. I said I did, or yeah,
• 8:13
  everything. I said I did.
• 8:15
  And I think that's that's something to be to be proud
• 8:20
  about in all the bullshit that comes with this here was having
• 8:23
  a shop, was that a goal like they did?
• 8:24
  We did you have a timeline where you wanted to do that?
• 8:27
  Because I've, yes, I feel like that when I saw that I was like,
• 8:31
  oh damn and good thing. You said that, it's just you
• 8:34
  because I'm over here like oh yeah he's got a whole Operation
• 8:37
  over there. Oh no.
• 8:39
  Is it also, the shop looks beautiful.
• 8:41
  I like old buildings like that. I'm assuming it's an old
• 8:43
  building. That looks like an old building.
• 8:45
  Yeah. The shop looks awesome.
• 8:47
  Thank you for trusses and stuff are exposed if you open was
• 8:49
  here, he'd correct? Yeah, I'm not that's the word
• 8:51
  for that. What the trusses the beams?
• 8:53
  Yes, I like shit. Like it didn't have exposed
• 8:57
  beams and I wanted to kind of open up.
• 8:59
  I wanted to get away from it. Looking like a shop as much as
• 9:02
  possible of a studio, more of a studio, like an artist, like an
• 9:05
  artist. You need light.
• 9:15
  Like I wanted it to look a certain way because I mean, I
• 9:25
  don't know. It just, it feels cool when
• 9:27
  you're working in a good environment.
• 9:28
  Yes, it's inspiring environment. You know.
• 9:31
  Yeah, I was an apprentice for 67 years in a vintage American
• 9:35
  shopping. The shop.
• 9:37
  I just had so many ideas. During that time is when I just
• 9:41
  accumulator, I was like, oh, when I go into my shop, I want
• 9:45
  to do it like this. You are like this, I won't do
• 9:46
  like this. So once I went in, I was ready
• 9:49
  for your satiate. You like, I'm not gonna do that.
• 9:51
  Yes, yes, exactly. Don't do this.
• 9:53
  This is expected. This is boring.
• 9:56
  This is corny like like a couple things guys.
• 9:59
  I want to look around to make sure I'm not talking shit.
• 10:01
  They're guys that spray things on the walls like graffiti on
• 10:05
  the yeah. A wall.
• 10:09
  I'm doing something wrong. Yeah.
• 10:11
  Everything that I saw that was kind of the opposite.
• 10:14
  Like I knew what I wanted to understand what you're saying
• 10:17
  that that mean that's our mentality to.
• 10:19
  We wanted it to look like when Chris when you got here we
• 10:22
  worked in that layout for like what a couple months and then
• 10:25
  we're like all right we're redoing the whole fucking thing.
• 10:27
  Well I mean the floor is chipping.
• 10:29
  The walls were so dirty. I mean yeah it's beautiful.
• 10:32
  It's the same thing that it's like you want to work in a good
• 10:34
  environment of course, horse and Environment is very dusty out
• 10:38
  very dirty. But I try as much as I can like,
• 10:41
  yeah. When people come in they're like
• 10:43
  holy shit. You don't have Parts accumulated
• 10:45
  everywhere. That's what I'm picturing.
• 10:47
  Yeah. No, it's not, that's very
• 10:49
  insulting to say, like right at the end.
• 10:54
  I was like fuck, no, no, no. But that, that is what you
• 10:57
  picture and like, and when you say Studio, yes, it gives you.
• 11:02
  Okay. Now, I'm picturing it and it's a
• 11:04
  lot different because you have to Again function in there, if
• 11:08
  it's like Caked Up with dust. Yeah.
• 11:11
  And you're trying to work or it's dark, and Caked Up with
• 11:14
  dust, do it, she it's well, I mean, dude, one, my old shop
• 11:19
  that I worked at that, I was an apprentice.
• 11:21
  For they were some areas of the shop that were so dark.
• 11:25
  And we always laughed about it, but he never did anything about
• 11:27
  it, but it was just so dark. I'm going to show you here, Rob
• 11:29
  back there. Now then it was, it was just, it
• 11:33
  was just, and we're doing stuff on the outside.
• 11:35
  So I knew Main main point was lights area everywhere, you
• 11:40
  know, and that was one of the first things I did.
• 11:43
  But to answer your question, getting into that shop was
• 11:47
  always the goal from day one, which was 10 12 years ago, was
• 11:51
  to always get the shop. But what I was going to do in
• 11:55
  that shop, that was up in the air because my dad does a lot of
• 11:59
  car stuff and he was a mechanic by trade, but he left industry
• 12:03
  because he said, you know, there's no money in this shit
• 12:05
  like you can't do this. Especially custom cars because
• 12:08
  you're never gonna get any money with this.
• 12:10
  He don't do it. So I did it so much,
• 12:24
  but there goes your passion, exactly out the window.
• 12:27
  Like, if I'm gonna do this shit, It was that.
• 12:37
  And and if it was that easy, I would still consider.
• 12:40
  Because at the end of the day, I still feel like I'm a sellout.
• 12:42
  I'm not happy, I'm not happy. If it's not what I want to do,
• 12:47
  when I want to do it, how I want to do it then I don't want to do
• 12:50
  it. Is the most artistic should I
• 12:51
  ruin my life? No, I mean that you're
• 12:53
  definitely an artist but anyway, it's the it's the fact that.
• 12:58
  Okay. So you are kind of to me when
• 13:00
  from from the outside looking in, it's someone who is able to
• 13:04
  like X because I, I have my shit.
• 13:06
  I Working in an office. And then after that, I Gotta Go
• 13:09
  Kart 8. Yeah, I work on cars and shit
• 13:10
  after, and, like I can turn my brain off and then I'm over here
• 13:13
  and I'm able to fully apply myself and obviously we're yeah.
• 13:16
  We do you. Do you guys cannot yes?
• 13:19
  Especially Chris and and the thing and the thing is is I feel
• 13:22
  like if that was the case, you'd have to really allow yourself to
• 13:25
  get obsessed with it, unfortunately.
• 13:26
  Now you bear you bear a business aspect of the mouse.
• 13:29
  I'm not even that bad. It's really Chris because Chris
• 13:31
  is working on cars every day. Well, I thought you were
• 13:34
  calling. That was a bad and no no no
• 13:36
  right. No.
• 13:36
  It's like the thing. The thing about that is I could
• 13:39
  kind of relate to what you were saying about what you wanted to
• 13:41
  do and to be quite honest, if I stayed in the dealership world,
• 13:46
  I could be making a fuck ton of money off if I really applied
• 13:49
  myself, but it just wasn't working out.
• 13:52
  There's a lot of politics and just wasn't what I wanted to do.
• 13:55
  And were you happy? I was not hats it.
• 13:57
  That's the only question is, are you happy?
• 13:59
  So just comes out to so much more when Frankie hit me up
• 14:03
  offering a job and I was like oh fuck yeah.
• 14:06
  Because now I had the opportunity to expand what I
• 14:08
  like to do, which is work on these shitty drift cars and but
• 14:14
  but it's what I love to do. Exactly.
• 14:16
  But I also had to work a day in my life.
• 14:17
  I also told him at the same time, hey, so this might not
• 14:21
  work out and you might have a not have a job in two months.
• 14:23
  So if you want to take that chance, feel free.
• 14:26
  And then we and then we got it. And that, yeah, everything
• 14:29
  worked out but in three years, yeah, been pretty smooth.
• 14:32
  So, has it already been three years?
• 14:33
  Four years 2020. What's funny is is when Chris
• 14:35
  got this Just the same as how I said earlier, how before I
• 14:39
  thought you were, pretty intimidating.
• 14:41
  Intimidating. He comes here to you
• 14:43
  intimidated. Because I'm telling you because
• 14:45
  you you get somebody when I think of Bodywork it does, it's
• 14:48
  not just it's it's and I'm not describing your job is no not
• 14:53
  yet again but when you're sanding and stuff like I do that
• 14:57
  the best when I'm like calm if you're rushing that shit and
• 15:00
  you're the going there, like like it's terrible.
• 15:05
  Yes. Just like I'm picturing.
• 15:07
  Somebody who's you when you're in there, you're in there.
• 15:09
  You're like, of course, I'm in there.
• 15:10
  Yes, yeah, that's exact sounds I made right there.
• 15:14
  But like, but like that's so that's why I thought you were
• 15:19
  going to be intended. But yeah, I know, I mean, here's
• 15:21
  the thing I know you're the only person to complement the office
• 15:24
  has ever heard that man. Yeah, I woke up my whole days
• 15:28
  actually. No, Scott might have it's not
• 15:30
  done yet. By the way.
• 15:30
  Scott might have done what I need a fucking logo right here.
• 15:34
  I need shop, labor rates and It right here.
• 15:37
  And and then that's probably it. I mean that was two sides.
• 15:41
  Not? Yeah but still I mean I mean
• 15:43
  even when I walked in the bathroom you have to cool.
• 15:45
  The battery is my favorite Parts bash poses an old ones.
• 15:49
  That was cool man. The bathroom is my favorite
• 15:51
  part. You know what it is because I
• 15:53
  don't want to hang like, you were saying like the graffiti
• 15:55
  and I don't wanna hang shit everywhere outside.
• 15:57
  Yeah. So I'm like, where can I put
• 15:58
  this that I really like, I'm like the bathroom.
• 16:00
  Yes. Yes, I.
• 16:01
  Yeah, I have a couple stuff hung up in just the bathroom because
• 16:04
  I got hung up in my work area. Maybe a coat of dogs out to
• 16:07
  Michael. Yeah, week.
• 16:09
  Yeah, the only thing you have out there is like this, the sign
• 16:12
  on the wall that someone literally Greg literally painted
• 16:14
  that on the wall, which is fucking insane Elko this, yeah,
• 16:17
  I was like, I was like, dude, are you sure you want to paint
• 16:20
  this? Because if we leave, we're not
• 16:21
  taking the wall. Exactly.
• 16:22
  It's just there. Yeah.
• 16:23
  He's like some estimates of the wall.
• 16:25
  Don't worry, I could do it. He fucking put realizing.
• 16:27
  Yeah, he put a projector on it and the trace it out that way.
• 16:32
  And then painted, And then we go like the banners in the back,
• 16:37

• 16:40
  point. That's something like almost
• 16:41
  like five hours. Yeah.

  Okay. Alright.
• 16:54
  Okay. Where people would, wait, that's

• 17:00
  So like that straight down 17 of jerseys.
• 17:03
  Where's there? Yeah.
• 17:04
  Where's Burke? There's a highway.
• 17:07
  From Maplewood and in that Center, I'm going to call it
• 17:10
  Central Jersey. It's about an it's about like 45
• 17:12
  to. What, how long did it take you
• 17:13
  to get here today? 35 minutes that is definitely
• 17:16
  North New Jersey. But yeah, is it North New
• 17:17
  Jersey? It's closer to its in my
• 17:19
  direction. I'm a maple Hood your by, so
• 17:23
  it's like Springfield and stuff. It's yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 17:33
  About a post you made. Which post about projectile
• 17:38
  projectile, feces. Oh my god dude.
• 17:44
  You gotta I have not doing that. Dude, the pods, dude, that's
• 17:50
  funny as shit. But that is a that guy is a
• 17:54
  psycho guy. And he occasionally he walks by
• 17:58
  and all and all that shit and all that shit.
• 18:00
  Yeah. And then one day I show up.
• 18:03
  It's right. It's Friday morning and I have
• 18:06
  these big Gates that I got built because of crackheads, you know.
• 18:09
  So oh my God it's like locked Gates and everything.
• 18:13
  Really nice though. Yes.
• 18:14
  So I come in the morning and I'm looking at the gates wide open
• 18:19
  it and it doesn't even look like shit.
• 18:21
  It looks like somebody just took hot chocolate and just went like
• 18:24
  this, right? Because it looked far too, like
• 18:30
  I gotta say, from here to the door frame, right?
• 18:32
  Yeah. So I'm like, okay, it's probably
• 18:34
  hot chocolate but I don't want to I don't want to take a guess
• 18:37
  yet. I don't want to step on it yet.
• 18:38
  I don't want to touch it yet. Let me just make sure I got
• 18:40
  cameras everywhere. Yeah, yeah.
• 18:42
  So while I'm looking at the cameras, like man, how funny
• 18:45
  would it be if distinguish it? So then it's like, it's like one
• 18:48
  in the morning and this guy's just walking by and then I see
• 18:52
  it. And then and then in the video,
• 18:55
  you see, you just stops turns. He drops his pants.
• 18:58
  He bends over a little bit and he shits like little bit.
• 19:02
  Like, I'm not even mad. It was impressive.
• 19:03
  Like it was, it was like, little, some PSI behind that
• 19:06
  big. Each least 34 feet first dude
• 19:09
  for holy shit first. Get it.
• 19:11
  For some reason. Crackheads have projectile shit.
• 19:13
  I don't know what it is crackers.
• 19:14
  It's all the crack I think because yeah, because their diet
• 19:18
  is, yeah. So bad bro.
• 19:19
  Here you're right. They were probably, was it a
• 19:21
  male? I'm just going to say he was the
• 19:22
  dude. They were probably fucking
• 19:25
  pushing hard enough to get themselves on.
• 19:27
  You know, this dude, just let it out.
• 19:30
  He no problem. It wasn't even a second of
• 19:33
  waiting. He didn't even have time to just
• 19:36
  went Let It Go and it was like a pressure valve, dude.
• 19:38
  He had the compressor hooked up. So then I'm like, like I'm
• 19:42
  trying to hose it off and it's not hosing off.
• 19:45
  I hate that she put some force and what's fucked up is I'm not
• 19:48
  sure if he did it on purpose, right?
• 19:51
  He shit on the part that the gate slides up and down on the
• 19:56
  moving parts. So it's like like damn was this
• 19:59
  a prank or whatever? But I spoke with the guy
• 20:03
  afterwards, actually I just saw him.
• 20:04
  Wait what? The morning.
• 20:06
  Sweet pea the guy. The the culprit.
• 20:10
  Yeah the shitter yes. Yes I saw him.
• 20:14
  Yeah looks listen. If your cordial it feels anyone
• 20:17
  else they probably would have done something bad so but I got
• 20:19
  this whole new light I'm trying to be nice, you know.
• 20:22
  Oh you're really nice. I'm trying to be nice.
• 20:24
  I'm I usually have a very low very low patience for people and
• 20:29
  shit. So because you're a business
• 20:30
  owner probably. So I'm like you know what?
• 20:33
  I'm trying to be nice. Let me just whatever and I saw
• 20:35
  him standing. Outside and I don't want to go
• 20:38

• 20:40
  foul stuff but I didn't do anything to my just said, look
• 20:43
  listen, whatever, whatever saying all this shit.
• 20:46
  Some and then I said look if you walk in front of my studio again
• 20:51
  and then after after I said, whatever I had to say and then
• 20:54
  he was like well I guess I'm not going to walk in front of your
• 20:57
  studio anymore. All right, so what a reasonable
• 21:00
  guy who he was pretty understanding and then some when
• 21:04

• 21:06
  I'm Walking into wah, wah. Wah was like right across the
• 21:08
  street nice and that's why I drink like for you today.
• 21:13
  So I'm walking in and he tries to give me like a handshake.
• 21:17
  So I was like, dude, I'm not shaking your hand, okay?
• 21:23
  It's one thing I was nice. I'm not, I'm not shaking him.
• 21:25
  It's one thing to clean up your shit.
• 21:26
  I'm not shaking, I'm not shaking the hand, they don't know where
• 21:30
  he shouldn't now - yes impossible.
• 21:32
  So I'm like, you know what? This guy's just out of it.
• 21:34
  So when I walked in, The door was closing in back of me and
• 21:38
  and then I heard him say you fucking wish you could shake my
• 21:42
  hands. So I said so I went back
• 21:45
  outside. I was like dude why you got to
• 21:47

• 22:08
  He's like Fine. Okay.
• 22:12
  He's like you have a great day. I'm like, you have a good day
• 22:15
  too. And I walked in, and I got my
• 22:16
  tea and I walked up and he was just a bad back and forth.
• 22:20
  Yeah, I can't believe you got to interact with this, dude.
• 22:23
  All the time. Yes.
• 22:25
  Before you say anything, I just want to bring up remember that
• 22:28
  time that guy shit in our bathroom on the floor.
• 22:30
  Oh, yeah. What?
• 22:31
  Yeah. We had a shitter.
• 22:34
  What? I didn't know about.
• 22:35
  It only happened once but let's see who it was.
• 22:38
  Yeah. What was it was a Driver.
• 22:40
  As a punch drunk? Yeah, it was parked.
• 22:42
  Well, I was about to say, I thought it was like a friend.
• 22:44
  No, no, it was a want. Anyways, you guys got a
• 22:46
  bathroom. Oh yeah, yeah, it's right over
• 22:49
  there. Be hesitating to talk when we
• 22:51
  didn't really think of anything. Yeah, we were thinking of it,
• 22:53
  but then like later, didn't you go in it later?
• 22:56
  And you're like, what the fuck wait like, it wasn't like a log
• 23:00
  but no, it wasn't. No, it was until now because I
• 23:01
  was on the floor, okay, but I have so many questions.
• 23:05
  First one is how close to the Bowl, was it close?
• 23:09
  It was close. Okay, seven inches.
• 23:11
  Yes, tried wait seven inches, that's not cool, like double it
• 23:15
  wasn't far. It was far.
• 23:16
  Yeah, he was pulling his pants down.
• 23:18
  Okay, let me, let me, let me, let me add something to this
• 23:20
  story. That dude was definitely
• 23:22
  overweight. Remember 100 like huge right?
• 23:24
  You probably didn't sit on the seat.
• 23:25
  Yeah, he was a huge and that seat is the small seat.
• 23:28
  It is a small. Yeah.
• 23:29
  It's like the if you know how they got that elongated ones and
• 23:31
  then they got the regular ones. That's, that's no excuse.
• 23:36
  So now every time a guy comes in here, if we don't know him and
• 23:38
  they're like, yeah, can we use the Like ya don't shit on the
• 23:41
  floor and their license and they laugh.
• 23:43
  And I'm like, I'm not laughing dude.
• 23:45
  Don't shit on my floor. And then just just it just so
• 23:48
  that if it is, you are a sloppy, fuck.
• 23:51
  And you were considering shitting on my floor.
• 23:52
  You don't know that larger that larger person is going to walk
• 23:55
  in here, slow motion, you're going to be like we never saw
• 23:58
  him. Oh my God.

• 24:44

• 26:23
  And anytime someone does something funny or some shit,
• 26:25
  he'll just go back to the camera.
• 26:26
  Yeah. Because I got in all different
• 26:28
  angles. So whenever something funny
• 26:30
  happens, I mean a bunch of the times.
• 26:32
  It is me. Yeah.
• 26:32
  It's you like falling? Yeah, I have a hundred things on
• 26:36
  my mind at once when I'm walking to something, I'm not even
• 26:39
  thinking about when I'm walking to I'm thinking about everything
• 26:41
  else. So chances are trip, I fall
• 26:43
  whatever and we always got it and when I had the guys and they
• 26:47
  work with me to whether it be, Hood just falling on their head
• 26:50
  or whatever, you know, we always had it, captured it.
• 26:53
  Yeah that's my worst fear sometimes because Frankie has
• 26:57
  has cameras in here to to like look yeah it's just you know
• 27:00
  what it is. It's a pain in the ass.
• 27:01
  I'm over here, I'm like walking around the shop like calmly so
• 27:04
  that I can shake my balls loose from my thigh and I'm worried.
• 27:08
  I'm like, yeah yeah yeah yeah well yeah well I was not as well
• 27:18
  I was a little more. You know, yet do sometimes
• 27:20
  Frankie at that point. Some people are going to think
• 27:22
  this is fucked up but it's really not but we'll see how you
• 27:24
  can see the outside on them on camera.
• 27:26
  So yeah, so we'll watch that like and sometimes the door will
• 27:30
  be closed and during summer, like, kids on their bicycles
• 27:33
  ride by all the time and those are pretty much the only people
• 27:35
  that stop by The Cars and start looking at checking them out.
• 27:38
  Yeah. But they'll be like going in
• 27:40
  there like looking under shit and I'm like dude come on and I
• 27:43
  walk over the door and I just I either open I go yo fuck's going
• 27:46
  on and they're like no the best is when he like Nothing.
• 27:49
  That's in the garage door opens and it's loud Dia.
• 27:52
  So they all look alike but are you against them looking?
• 27:58
  They're not real. They're, you know, well, it
• 28:00
  depends on what they're doing but usually it's all it's all in
• 28:02
  good fun, it depends. Yeah, like I have this Lincoln
• 28:05
  Tech. That's right next to me.
• 28:07
  And in the mornings, some of the kids like they pass by.
• 28:10
  Yeah, but they're even older than these kids.
• 28:12
  These kids are like, usually they have their own bicycle
• 28:14
  usually teenagers, okay? So it's just like, I mean, okay.
• 28:17
  All right, so you got you We got people that are like trying to
• 28:20
  get jobs when they come. Oh yeah, dude, Rose coming by

  I literally, I'll be in here for three to four hours, after I'll
• 31:11
  get home at 11:00. Like, what's for dinner?
• 31:13
  I guess fucking McDonald's. My goldfish goddamn it.
• 31:16
  Yes, dude. But it sucks because like you
• 31:20
  said, you don't want to be the asshole.
• 31:21
  Exactly people out. But there are times where I show
• 31:24
  up in the morning, and I'd like to get up pretty early.
• 31:27
  So, I'm there 5:36, am something like that?
• 31:31
  So, you got some, you got some hours in the morning.
• 31:33
  Take the can't sleep. I just, I can't sleep.
• 31:35
  Yeah, when I wake up. Up in the middle of the night.
• 31:38
  I'll start thinking about work and what I want to do and all
• 31:40
  that and then I can't sleep. So I'll just so I'll just wake
• 31:42
  up and go and I'll have a couple hours where the phone calls and
• 31:46
  we'll start yet and all that stuff.
• 31:47
  So that's that's like that's nice short time, it's beautiful,
• 31:50
  no one's up, it's dark. There's no traffic on the way to
• 31:52
  work. Yeah, it's good.
• 31:54
  I wish I could train myself to do that.
• 31:55
  I've been working on for about 20 years, that's what time do.
• 31:58
  I actually wake up? Seven?
• 31:59
  What time do I want to wake up 6?
• 32:00
  That's when my alarm starts going off, okay?
• 32:02
  Okay, seven. You grab it.
• 32:03
  So and then, what time do you get here, lately, 9?
• 32:06
  On the dot or later I was going to say cash shop opens at 9:00
• 32:11
  but and then what time do you leave?
• 32:14
  Usually varies but no not really usually it's 89.
• 32:20
  Okay. All right you know about 12
• 32:22
  hours. Yeah Tenten minimum for sure
• 32:25
  yeah more that that's that's the minimum I'm definitely here for
• 32:29
  10 hours but and then occasionally I'll come here on a
• 32:31
  Saturday but we're not open on weekends which is that's my like
• 32:35
  gift to myself for the last two years.
• 32:36
  Yeah I'm like fuck that we're not open on weekends but lately
• 32:39
  it's like I'm coming your way but you still come in to take
• 32:41
  care of stuff but it's good that you say your clothes because it
• 32:44
  leaves are exactly yes. Oh, Saturday is more like the
• 32:47
  day that I'm going to Come here and I know no one else is gonna
• 32:49
  be here so I can get you done. Yeah, Sunday is actually the
• 32:52
  close day where i'm like, I knew actually close.
• 32:54
  I'm gonna try to force myself. Not to come here on a Sunday.
• 32:57
  Yeah, I see. I was never a fan of the
• 32:59
  business hours because I see, I am I yeah, the business hours
• 33:04
  bothered me because it still felt like a job.
• 33:08
  A job, a boss. Okay.
• 33:09
  Don't like the hours were the boss.
• 33:10
  Yeah. So like I was like, oh I was
• 33:12
  like, I gotta leave and like sometimes I wake up in the
• 33:14
  morning and my wife wants to do something or we want to get
• 33:16
  Chick-fil-A in the morning or what.
• 33:18
  Whatever is I can, I can. But yeah, fuck 9fuc that will
• 33:23
  whatever the hell if I want to leave or whatever and people
• 33:25
  will say it, kind of helps with appointments to because people
• 33:28
  are like, oh Allah, I'll stop by.
• 33:31
  Oh, I say, what's your hours? I don't have any hours.
• 33:33
  It's whenever I'm here too. So you actually have to set a
• 33:36
  date with me. Yeah, there is no stop-bys.
• 33:38
  There is no buttons. That's it.
• 33:39
  Kind of helps me with that theory to.
• 33:40
  So I have a sticker that says, business hours.
• 33:44
  And it just says, appointment. Only why not?
• 33:46
  You know, it says, whenever to whenever Oh yeah, like that.
• 33:49
  Yeah whenever to it and like it's just In obviously, it can't
• 33:55
  apply to everyone. But in my line because
• 33:58
  everything is appointment based and I have very few clients per
• 34:02
  month per week per year. Yeah, I don't need to be in like
• 34:06
  constantly. Yeah.
• 34:07
  Well, it's like your business is very different than mine because
• 34:10
  you need to be there to work on the vehicle.
• 34:14
  So obviously I have to invest the time, most of what I was
• 34:16
  doing before the shop was open was online stuff.
• 34:20
  My website, stuff like that. That's a whole lot smarter.
• 34:23
  That's what That's better. But here's the thing you can do
• 34:26
  that with a computer anywhere. So what I was doing was I'd go
• 34:29
  to work, I'd be working on my own shit at work and then I
• 34:32
  would leave work and I would still be working on my own shit
• 34:34
  until I went to sleep and it just was like that for eight
• 34:37
  years seven years. So that's why I was like once
• 34:40
  Chris. Once I hired Chris I was like
• 34:43
  okay let me try to actually had a girlfriend at the time too.
• 34:47
  And that was really the reason because that was when it was
• 34:49
  like are we ever going to hang out?
• 34:51
  Or are you just going to do this?
• 34:53
  Always and I was like okay well there's very old.
• 34:56
  Yeah it could either make or break it can make or break the
• 34:59
  business. It makes it either very easy or
• 35:01
  very difficult. Yeah.
• 35:02
  But I mean, looking back at it I kind of I'm kind of glad that
• 35:06
  happened because now like I said I'll give myself that someday
• 35:09
  you know, I mean and it's like and I realized that like I kind
• 35:12
  of need that I can't. If if I'm here every single day
• 35:16
  all week, I feel like I'm going to get burned out.
• 35:18
  Oh yeah, I mean you can't or if I'm thinking about yeah shit at
• 35:22
  all times, which is it You do? It's a marathon.
• 35:25
  Yeah, you can't just go gung-ho on one day and not thinking
• 35:28
  about the next week, the next month, the next.
• 35:29
  Yeah. But that's that's the business.
• 35:33
  I could, I get burnt out, but I get burnt out physically.
• 35:37
  Yeah, not physically, not mentally.
• 35:38
  The yeah, I still want to do this regardless, how hard it is.
• 35:42
  I love what I do so much. It's worth it.
• 35:45
  Yeah, I'm willing to go through. Yeah sure the body can't keep up
• 35:47
  at times. I get tired, I work 12 13, 14
• 35:50
  hour days. I mean there were times when I
• 35:52
  didn't have the shop yet and I was just doing side work out of
• 35:54
  my mentors shop. He gave me like a little space,
• 35:58
  okay? And I was clocking in 120-hour
• 36:01
  weeks. What the honk an hour weeks.
• 36:03
  I've never worked at harmonious 110, 115 it in, and it was while
• 36:08
  because I'll work with him till like 5:00, and yeah, work on my
• 36:11
  own, It to like 12 and I work on the weekends and I would do all
• 36:14
  that shit but I was clocking in. Yeah like def definitely minimum
• 36:18
  100 hour weeks. Yeah easy and I don't do that
• 36:21
  anymore because I'd like to be happy but that's how you could
• 36:24
  tell that he calm. But it was 100 our well you
• 36:27
  found your limits to. Yes.
• 36:28
  Yeah. You know what?
• 36:29
  You don't want to do it. Go know you mentioned that you
• 36:32
  were doing side work out first because I was going to ask where
• 36:35
  you were doing this if you didn't have the shot.
• 36:38
  Yes, thankfully my mentor. Okay.
• 36:41
  First, I just have to dress. I have a speech impediment.
• 36:43
  So for anybody that's listening your internet is fine.
• 36:46
  You're not buffering. We have a lagging.
• 36:49
  It's my stutter. It's my sweet.
• 36:50
  We haven't even noticed though, right?
• 36:52
  No, you're doing great. It sucks, it sucks.
• 36:55
  Oh, my mentor. He was really good in a way
• 37:00
  where we kind of had this deal. Where he, he didn't pay me
• 37:05
  amazing. It was really, it wasn't good.
• 37:08
  Compared to what I should have been getting, but in return, He
• 37:10
  said, you have a spot And you could take in cars and do the
• 37:13
  shit. That's all I want.
• 37:14
  Fuck the money. I don't care about the money at
• 37:15
  that time. I don't care about the money.
• 37:17
  I want to build up my resume, I want to build up.
• 37:19
  My portfolio, gives me reasons to charge more because that now
• 37:22
  I have something to show for what I did.
• 37:24
  Yeah. So that's what I wanted to
• 37:25
  build. Fuck.
• 37:26
  The extra two hundred hours a week, that's not going to do
• 37:27
  anything. Yeah.
• 37:28
  So he let me do that and while working with him, for those
• 37:33
  years, I put out a bunch of builds, a bunch of bills while
• 37:37
  doing that. I mean, it wasn't my ideal.
• 37:39
  So that's when we probably, Better.
• 37:42
  That's when I started because that was when you probably went
• 37:44
  to final bout 12, you were probably doing something final
• 37:47
  bout one. I gotta say, I wasn't 15 ish
• 37:51
  2015. I wasn't even working there yet.
• 37:54
  I was still working out of my backyard.
• 37:55
  Holy shit. Yeah.
• 37:56
  I was because I wanted to that's awkward.
• 38:02
  Nice. Like that might be the first
• 38:04
  time that ever happened. Someone's called lines are hot.
• 38:07
  Someone's call me with questions.
• 38:08
  Do a welcome call her, you know, it's dangerous.
• 38:12
  We want to do that, but then I realize how fucking unrealistic
• 38:15
  that is, because that's a good idea though.
• 38:17
  I'm telling you it's a good idea.
• 38:18
  But here's the here's the problem.
• 38:20
  People will call in and fuck with us.
• 38:22
  If you if you had someone to like check the call then we'd be
• 38:26
  good. Oh someone to kind of screen at
• 38:29
  first and make sure your screener look because you're
• 38:31
  gonna have somebody come on it but yeah.
• 38:33
  Exact number something like I got I can name five friends
• 38:36
  right now. That'll do that.
• 38:36
  Yeah Tom Tom Tom and Tom dude, you do not get any credit.
• 38:43
  Yeah, you do not give him any credit.
• 38:46
  He was really great on the podcast.
• 38:48
  He was a good guest. Yeah, he said he wants to do it
• 38:50
  again to see. So, you know, I know somebody
• 38:54
  who would be bad on the phone, who me?
• 38:57
  I would, I would call it. Like I would go to the bathroom
• 38:59
  and call in and pretend like I'm somebody else and then and then
• 39:03
  I'm going to come in and be like, ha, ha ha we'll figure out
• 39:07
  a way to incorporate it because I do want to have like it's
• 39:09
  literally the live chat I know but a phone call so much better
• 39:13
  dude and especially if we hook all good.
• 39:15
  Yes, I hope the audio and everything and like you could
• 39:18
  really hear ya like and not only thing like maybe also like a
• 39:23
  segment where funny stories where somebody tells them about
• 39:26
  their days of rice doubt cars. Yeah.
• 39:28
  Yeah, they did or whatever. I think it'll be funny to have
• 39:31
  some kind of input where you know wheelers we do every month
• 39:34
  we will. If we don't have a guest every
• 39:36
  week we'll try to we called a Q&A episode and that's kind of
• 39:39
  our bullshit episode. Maybe we should open the lines
• 39:41
  during just that one. Yeah man.
• 39:43
  Let him go over lines open. Please call in hundred fact.
• 39:46
  We're going to get a different number though.
• 39:48
  Yeah, we're going to get a different number.
• 39:49
  Aw, you don't know what's that? Exactly.
• 39:51
  Yep. There you go.
• 39:52
  Yeah, that'd be a lot easier. Hmm.
• 39:55
  We're going. Okay.
• 39:55
  So now we got disconnect the phone line because it's an
• 39:57
  alive. People want to ask questions,
• 40:00
  has you can I want to ask questions about?
• 40:04
  I guess. Like so you did a lot of side
• 40:07
  work. Oh yes.
• 40:09
  Oh yeah. Like I was saying I only started
• 40:12
  this. I started.
• 40:14
  So what year was that? I only started doing like
• 40:18
  professional work in like a shop in 2016.
• 40:22
  I was gonna did this skills like developed was this something
• 40:25
  that you were kind of dabbling with as you were growing up or
• 40:28
  like you know, developed? The skill.
• 40:30
  Well do the way execution is there like you do again?
• 40:34
  Limitless type of projects? Well, thank kind of like thank
• 40:37
  you for the interest in my work. Yeah.
• 40:39
  But it was never around that realm.
• 40:41
  I mean like I said, my dad was a car guy and we always did like
• 40:43
  motor shit. Yeah.
• 40:44
  And years of doing stuff like that.
• 40:46
  It made me realize how much I hate working underneath the bay
• 40:49
  and you know I got to get this bolt behind the water pump and
• 40:52
  to get this tie was just it just oh my God.
• 40:55
  It was just drove me nuts. It's probably not.
• 40:58
  So like I started Realizing that the only part that got me
• 41:01
  excited about building. My cars was the outside part
• 41:03
  because it's the only part that everyone enjoys even non carp
• 41:07
  even non-car. People, they enjoy.
• 41:10
  So, I always thought it was, it was kind of a cool way.
• 41:14
  Sorry. No, all good.
• 41:16
  Yo, honestly, just go answer the phone over there.
• 41:20
  Oh, what do you got a Faxon? So, yeah, I mean person, I know
• 41:24
  where the fax machine. I got a fax, really I got a
• 41:27
  phone? All right, I know to yo, Oh,
• 41:29
  it's not bad. You should get the paper with
• 41:31
  the little holes on the side of it to do it, it works.
• 41:34
  Yeah. So then you started working out
• 41:37
  on the, on more on the outside and I saw that that part was
• 41:40
  kind of exciting. So I was like, you know what, I
• 41:43
  like, let me just keep doing stuff like this and I went to
• 41:45
  college for fashion. So it was like, kind of like, it
• 41:51
  was the worst move. It was the worst mood.
• 41:52
  Going to college was the biggest mistake ever kids.
• 41:54
  Don't go to college. Am horrible horrible.
• 41:57
  But I realized Okay, I kind of like this outside shit, so I
• 42:02
  started messing with it and then when I got my Toyota, I was
• 42:04
  like, you know what, I want to start doing some stuff.
• 42:06
  And then, I started working on my, in my parents backyard.
• 42:11
  Hmm. And that lasted, maybe a couple
• 42:14
  years and the work was horrendous.
• 42:17
  Absolutely. Absolutely.
• 42:19
  I mean, you got you, you have to start somewhere.
• 42:21
  Of course, you have to start somewhere.
• 42:22
  I'm not saying it had to be perfect, but just addressing
• 42:25
  that. It wasn't like the skill that I
• 42:27
  was bored. What were you like?
• 42:28
  Do you have? Do you have Any recollection of
• 42:30
  like what you were making or attempting to make it this time.
• 42:35
  The first thing I made was I wanted to make a bumper for the
• 42:38
  Aristo and bumpers at that time now you could find them but back
• 42:42
  then it was very hard to find. So what I did was I started
• 42:45
  looking up all these things on how I could take the factory
• 42:47
  bumper, cut it in half and mounts a bottom bumper on haha.
• 42:51
  That's like what Dave did Bob do?
• 42:52
  This is what I want to do, that's what I wanted to kind of
• 42:56
  do. And at that time it was
• 42:58
  obviously my Not there was this daunting task and I'm looking it
• 43:01
  up and how difficult it is, whatever, whatever.
• 43:03
  So at the end of it I thought like back then.
• 43:06
  I'm like no I'm I'm the best at this gift.
• 43:13
  Holy shit. Nobody's ready for me now.
• 43:17
  Now I think about this shit was garbage, that's Carl exactly
• 43:24
  that I do if I say like in s13 Racing line kit.
• 43:30
  Do you know what I'm talking about?
• 43:31
  It's the really like short one more like little divots on it
• 43:34
  and stuff, low features on it. I want something like that.
• 43:37
  On an on, my is 300. Every time I come in here,
• 43:40
  Frankie was like, are you ready to interview K?
• 43:43
  Like, super life is common and I'm like, yeah, I got one
• 43:45
  question guys. Gonna how do I do this?
• 43:47
  What do I do to do this? But I'm the Dream Crusher, by
• 43:50
  the way, you here with body but I'm the dream body people.
• 43:53
  I'm the dreamer. Yeah, it's like the second
• 43:54
  someone comes in like even Dave Bob would be like, alright, so
• 43:57
  I'm going to do this. I was like, do this shit is Then
• 43:59
  I feel like fucking do that and then he does it and I'm like,
• 44:02
  fuck first of all. I'm not actually going to ask
• 44:04
  that because I feel like I want to kind of I fuck around with
• 44:09
  like fiberglass and shit like that just to just to get by and
• 44:13
  it's fun for me. So like I kind of want to do it
• 44:15
  in and just do it. It was that really what you did?
• 44:17
  You just have to do it. If you think about it too much,
• 44:20
  you know how many friends I have with ideas?
• 44:21
  Oh my God, just like, oh yeah, I got this.
• 44:26
  You're not gonna do it. Are you just like you just make
• 44:54
  it right then and there is free and there because I see what why
• 44:56
  do people use clay like what is that?
• 44:59
  They're going stuff with like Clay is more for something.
• 45:02
  Where you going to have where you're making a mold.
• 45:05
  Clay can't stay on the car. It's just something to build
• 45:09
  shape because you could get very detailed with with the shapes of
• 45:12
  clay. Like that's why some people will
• 45:14
  start off with foam as far as building stuff but it's not very
• 45:17
  detailed. That's just to get a general
• 45:19
  shape going and then they'll add the clay and then they add the
• 45:22
  fiberglass on top of that to make a mold.
• 45:24
  But Clay is not the way. It's one of the ways when it
• 45:28
  comes to Into this realm. There's not one way to do
• 45:32
  something. There's my way, there's his way,
• 45:35
  there's his way. So, Clay is just another way.
• 45:37
  Do you have a preferred media? What do you use as far as like,
• 45:41
  maybe just had an idea to make something.
• 45:43
  I've never used clay ever because I just never learned.
• 45:47
  It just wasn't my style but because I'm never producing
• 45:50
  something. It's always one of one and I'll
• 45:53
  never produce the same thing twice.
• 45:54
  Yeah. Even if a customer comes to me,
• 45:56
  oh, you built this. I want this.
• 45:57
  I'm not doing it again. I'll do something.
• 45:59
  It's Bobby's. Did the signal different
• 46:01
  something different? Yeah.
• 46:02
  I don't want to be like, I love that so because of that I never
• 46:05
  had to do that. So most of the stuff I'll do is
• 46:08
  usually a lot of its in metal work.
• 46:10
  A lot of it is in fiberglass work, but the fiberglass work
• 46:13
  I'll just get a shape going in something else.
• 46:15
  I've transferred over into a into fiberglass but I never
• 46:19
  produce pieces which is like I don't have molds for anything
• 46:22
  because I don't need to make it more than once.
• 46:24
  The metal work, is something to appreciate because not a lot of
• 46:27
  people can do that. Well, thank you.
• 46:29
  Thank you. That probably requires, like,
• 46:31
  all types of tools and shit, it's like, like metal stuff
• 46:35
  like, you know, you've you win it rolling shutter, it's all
• 46:39
  fancy. No, because when I was an
• 46:41
  apprentice, this guy, the guy worked for John, he would, he
• 46:46
  did a lot of old cars and he didn't metalwork and the do had
• 46:49
  no tools nothing because he's a and shit, just Hammers and
• 46:54
  dollies. And like and like there's times
• 46:55
  he would take a dolly and squeeze it in a vice.
• 46:59
  And have the dog Hannah and just shape the metal with that Dolly
• 47:02
  space on a vice, really old-school ways.
• 47:04
  And that's the way I Learned was that.
• 47:06
  So now that now sure it's cool. But is it efficient?
• 47:10
  It's not efficient. So then when it was stolen, when
• 47:12
  I moved into my shop, I just got like the basics just to get my
• 47:16
  basic stuff done. I'm not, I'm not like a
• 47:18
  structural fab guy that has load-bearing work that does
• 47:22
  cages and shit like that. You know, my stuff is very
• 47:25
  cosmetic based so everything I have is for Thin sheet metal,
• 47:30
  you know, whether it be my shears, or my bead roller, or my
• 47:33
  metal shrinker, stretcher. Yeah, well, whatever it is.
• 47:35
  It's just basic stuff. I always just picture like this
• 47:38
  one clip, I know. From like it's probably a
• 47:42
  motorcycle, West Coast, whatever West Coast Choppers, and he's
• 47:50
  doing something like it is crazy.
• 47:52
  It's going like that rolling on it.
• 47:54
  That's what I picture when you say that.
• 48:00
  So that just developed over time, that's, that's where I'm
• 48:02
  impressed because it's, anybody can have an idea like you look
• 48:06
  at it and actually, you know what, fuck that it's rare, that
• 48:09
  somebody has a vision, and then they're like, that's what I want
• 48:11
  it to look. Yeah, I've noticed that
• 48:13
  recently, I didn't know that you gotta follow where you, where
• 48:15
  you can look at something. And there's you, there's a way
• 48:17
  that you personally want that look like, yes, that's rare.
• 48:21
  I thought, I think it's rare to. I mean, the shit he comes out
• 48:24
  with I'm just like, that's what I'm saying.
• 48:25
  Ever in a million years I would have never thought to do that.
• 48:29
  Fenders on your on your wrist. Oh, if you haven't checked out
• 48:32
  the Instagram or your, your Aristo week, you've had now that
• 48:36
  you've mentioned that you had it for that long.
• 48:39
  That's yeah, metal, you had met. Those are actually the second
• 48:45
  ones I made because the first ones I made, I made out of metal
• 48:47
  and those were the first metal fenders I ever ever tried it on.
• 48:51
  And okay, and I got the grills like there's a the details that
• 48:56
  made that all in metal at all. Elrod.
• 48:59
  And I shape that's like four pieces of metal rod, all welded
• 49:02
  together reshape. That's all metal.
• 49:04
  You could take that and just actually like, like hold the
• 49:07
  whole Fender up by just that Rod.
• 49:09
  But there's got to be filler some in some spots pores.
• 49:11
  No to, to say there's no filler in the work, that's kind of
• 49:15
  impossible. I is a lie.
• 49:16
  I don't care what anyone says to how much filler you use the
• 49:20
  guides based on experience. Obviously.
• 49:22
  Yeah. When you're good you could get
• 49:23
  the general shape done and then fill you just skim it.
• 49:25
  Yeah. But there's no way you're not.
• 49:26
  There's no way because you a would just it would look like
• 49:28
  bad fiber. Glass.
• 49:29
  Yes. Yeah, it would just look wavy
• 49:30
  and choppy and you could do it as good as you want.
• 49:33
  I mean, sure guys can get really close.
• 49:35
  But to get that flat mirror image.
• 49:37
  Yeah, there's eventually you got to put something on it.
• 49:40
  At least a skim coat. Somebody I want to get your hot
• 49:43
  take on something because somebody brought something up in
• 49:45
  the live chat and it's that live chat people. 3D printer in our
• 49:50
  3D printing kits. Now, yes, you're gonna break his
• 49:54
  heart right Bloom aesthetic. Is it that?
• 49:56
  It what's your hot take on that? What is the Product come out
• 50:00
  looking like have you seen it? Okay but we're talking 3D
• 50:03
  printing of the kits, right? Yeah.
• 50:05
  It's not you're not printing something.
• 50:07
  You can use one when you print that, you could only you could
• 50:11
  only use that as the plug for a mole mole.
• 50:16
  Not like you print it out and go bolt it up.
• 50:18
  Let's go now. Thank you.
• 50:23
  Is there a, is there a way that they're doing now?
• 50:25
  They're using something else you want, you know what someone
• 50:28
  else? Someone, I think it was a key
• 50:32
  Miura of rocket bunny. He has this process, which I
• 50:36
  saw, he does everything on the computer, right?
• 50:39
  Okay. And he has this cutter.
• 50:41
  Has this big block of Styrofoam and it laser Cuts?
• 50:45
  Oh, wow. Styrofoam into the shape.
• 50:47
  And he takes that for many transfers over into fiberglass,
• 50:50
  but it gets done in a second because you could just draw it
• 50:53
  on. Exactly.
• 50:54
  And then, and then that's it, it's all done.
• 50:55
  So that's why he's able to turn out work so fast.
• 50:59
  As opposed to the old school ways, where places, like v x or
• 51:05
  veal side, they had to sit there with a car on horses and clay
• 51:10
  and do everything by hand and then make the plug and do
• 51:12
  everything. Now, guys are scanning cars or
• 51:15
  doing CAD they're doing all the shit.
• 51:17
  Yeah. That is the future.
• 51:19
  I will forever be stuck. Be stubborn against it.
• 51:22
  Yeah. I don't want it to get on that,
• 51:24
  just do something on that. Mmm, I'm with that.
• 51:27
  I want to just my hands on That's all I want to do is
• 51:30
  you're such an artist but ya know that that's that's that's
• 51:34
  like the old school approach to your purest.
• 51:37
  Yeah, I am. Yes.
• 51:38
  Yes. That's what I was about to say
• 51:40
  is it takes away from the purity of it?
• 51:41
  I caressed in the craft. Yeah.
• 51:43
  And yes correct in yes yes. I just I kind of like the old
• 51:46
  school way and if a guy who was learning my craft and he went to
• 51:53
  school for it and he learned the technical way if he came to my
• 51:56
  studio and he saw the way I was doing things, he would have a
• 51:58
  heart. That's not right.
• 52:00
  It's not like I just yeah things I'm doing my way.
• 52:04
  So it might not be textbook, but it's just the way I like it.
• 52:07
  I'm like, I'm old school but when I do to fenders, hmm.
• 52:11
  The first vendor is Fun. The second Fender is hard
• 52:14
  because do what I'm doing is I need to imitate what I just made
• 52:17
  the first time having fun. Well, yeah, fuck this.
• 52:19
  I'm gonna put a vent here then here then here and the second I
• 52:22
  like, oh God! Okay, three inches to.
• 52:24
  Yeah, three inches. It's never going to be accurate
• 52:28
  because I'm going by I but never at one time.
• 52:32
  Will someone be able to look at both vendors at the same time?
• 52:35
  When it's on the card of that? Just get close.
• 52:37
  I get close and you know, it's human error.
• 52:39
  It's human-made. It's human made handmade stuff.
• 52:41
  If someone gets that printed instead, where's the love in
• 52:44
  that? I like, where's the love?
• 52:45
  Yeah, the 3D scanning and shit like that.
• 52:49
  I like for mechanical extremely things that need to be precise.
• 52:54
  Yeah something that needs to be machined.
• 52:56
  Yeah something like that. That's what I think of when I
• 52:57
  think of 3D scanning and Like using Cad and SolidWorks and
• 53:01
  whatever it is that he is like, there's guys that are printing
• 53:03
  these interior pieces. Now pieces, you can't find
• 53:06
  anymore there. Yeah, printing it out and just
• 53:08
  like a little piece for the cluster and they'll have it
• 53:10
  like. Yeah.
• 53:11
  That's as amazed as yeah. What?
• 53:12
  It's like to be alive. That is crazy.
• 53:14
  This is beautiful, but as far as applying it to that and I don't
• 53:19
  want to get it, think I'm not shitting on that I'm not
• 53:21
  shitting on that style of work. Yeah it's just not my parents
• 53:26
  that when I think of the exterior and I think of custom
• 53:28
  work Work. Like, that's you making
• 53:31
  something that's custom one-off. That's where you got to have to
• 53:36
  go back to that pure type of like work.
• 53:39
  I guess that's definitely my preference.
• 53:41
  And as well. Seeing the way certain people, I
• 53:44
  don't want to say. I had Idols, I don't have no
• 53:46
  Idols but people, I respect in the industry and seeing the way
• 53:49
  they did it. I think that kind of had a hand
• 53:52
  in the way I wanted to do it and the way I wanted to be seen
• 53:55
  because that's the way I saw them.
• 53:57
  So I'm like oh you know what? I kind of undo it like this
• 53:58
  because he Like this or log. Come on do like this, where he'd
• 54:00
  like, we're someone like your Inspirations.
• 54:02
  Would you say I would say, probably one of the first
• 54:05
  Inspirations was a Nakai. Nakai is exactly what I was
• 54:09
  going to say. Yes, I'm glad you said that.
• 54:12
  That's what I pictured when I was gonna be.
• 54:15
  And I don't do Bodywork, he inspires me.
• 54:17
  And I don't like Gonna Roll Up with a cigarette.
• 54:27
  Yeah. Are unorthodox, that's why I
• 54:31
  like it. Like I watched him work.
• 54:33
  Like it was amazing because there's certain things that
• 54:36
  other people would be like, oh my God, don't do that.
• 54:39
  When like, let's just say, for example, he was screwing on this
• 54:42
  front, lip to the bumper, right? And he's just screwing it on
• 54:46
  her. He's not measuring how much in
• 54:47
  between screws if it's symmetrical, if it's whatever,
• 54:49
  it's just on. I like that, dude.
• 54:51
  And like, if you did that here, because guys are here in
• 54:54
  America, oh my God, it's crazy. Guys.
• 54:57
  Go wild, especially when you talk about Like wheel spacers,
• 55:00
  for instance, somebody to fucking diamonds.
• 55:04
  I'm here. No, dude, it's okay but over
• 55:06
  there it's different like the way it was applied was so cool.
• 55:09
  When I got a chance to meet him, the first time I met him like I
• 55:13
  told him to his face. I was like yeah dude I was I
• 55:17
  work 100 hours a week just so I could beat you just so I could
• 55:24
  beat you. Yeah.
• 55:25
  What I was like, okay, what is like, you know, I love
• 55:28
  everything. You do everything.
• 55:29
  Your huge inspiration, you know? And I'm, as I'm just I'm just
• 55:34
  going to be better and he went I like that.
• 55:38
  It's good. You're and then afterwards we
• 55:40
  took like this picture. He was like, all right let's he
• 55:42
  does let's take a picture and and I have it posted up and
• 55:46
  after that conversation and I left I was like oh my God, I was
• 55:51
  I can't believe I just told him you because I met him in like a
• 55:59
  way where it was like we went to Japan in 2010.
• 56:08
  Yeah yeah. Yes.
• 56:10
  I went in 2015, I think ends of you really said, I'm coming for
• 56:15
  you. We were there and then we were
• 56:22
  hanging out. It was like the first or second
• 56:24
  night there and one of my good friends who went with me, will
• 56:28
  he was like he's on Instagram. He's like yo he's like they're
• 56:32
  havin, they're When a New Year's party.
• 56:34
  Yeah. They just like have party.
• 56:35
  They yes a gathering. So they had to have all these
• 56:37
  gatherings and all this stuff so that um so he's like yo RW B is
• 56:45
  having a party. He goes.
• 56:48
  Let's sick. He goes, let's go.
• 56:50
  I was like, and I'm like, a huge introvert.
• 56:51
  I'm like, no. But, ya know and like, well, why
• 56:55
  would we stay at the hotel? He's like, dude, let's go.
• 56:57
  I'm like, no, no, fuck this. I'm not going.
• 56:59
  So you went there and told that to him at his shop, what yet?
• 57:03
  No. No, it was, it was at a party.
• 57:06
  Okay, I'm gonna party. All right.
• 57:07
  So then Jesus in my own dojo in place, you shit on me and I will
• 57:18
  be tight if someone came to my best sounding better than you.
• 57:20
  Yeah. Or maybe I'll be flattered, I
• 57:22
  don't know what somebody shooting on the fence, not super
• 57:24
  pissed, not piss but you come in here.
• 57:28
  None has brought. I thought I thought the story
• 57:30
  was going to be because then he came over here like a not a few
• 57:34
  years ago. This point is probably five
• 57:35
  years ago but he came somewhere out of Couture.
• 57:38
  Oh yeah. Missed it.
• 57:42
  I was like that's the one I remember them build.
• 57:46
  Yeah. Then somewhere else.
• 57:49
  I was like, oh yeah, I was like, I was probably there and he's
• 57:51
  probably like these crazy Americans.
• 57:53
  How does absolutely like like like know English, how Wild is
• 57:57
  the fact that it's still wild further me to accept the fact
• 58:02
  that somebody flew somebody out here to build something for?
• 58:04
  Yeah. I know.
• 58:05
  So watch and yes, yes, yes. And then so that's that that was
• 58:08
  one of the questions. I also asked to was I was like,
• 58:11
  so I'm like aren't these people? I fucking horrible.
• 58:15
  How do you work? And I was I'm not going to do is
• 58:18
  it's going to sound very, very something like he was like you
• 58:23
  said like oh I just don't mind them or something like that.
• 58:25
  I just like, ignore them or something.
• 58:27
  Yeah. So I was like, you ignore them.
• 58:30
  Could you ignore the horrible? People got cameras in your face
• 58:33
  and I get it. Yeah.
• 58:34
  Same video over and over again. Like how many?
• 58:37
  Yeah, I'll get like if it was me.
• 58:38
  I'd like dude, how many times? Have you seen, how many times
• 58:43
  have you seen him do this? Like yes, hello the dust.
• 58:46
  Yeah. Videos all the time.
• 58:52
  And then I was like, I'm think I'm watching the same video over
• 58:55
  and over again. The same thing and you know
• 58:57
  what, when those videos of him, first came out, obviously,
• 58:59
  they're very inspiring, but yeah, just to be like, yeah,
• 59:02
  same thing. But like, when I, when I had
• 59:06
  went there with, like, we weren't even allowed in into the
• 59:09
  party, T? Because it's you're supposed to
• 59:10
  be on the list. Oh shit.
• 59:12
  So Christ. So like we show up and all this
• 59:15
  all these Porsches all over like parked, holy shit, this is
• 59:18
  crazy. And I was wearing this really
• 59:20
  lame fat lace sweater back then, right?
• 59:23
  So Palace was sick, at least was the coolest.
• 59:26
  Yeah. Couldn't get in.
• 59:41
  So we're like, fuck like how do we get into like a list,
• 59:42
  whatever. And then we're just standing
• 59:45
  there and then she comes up to us, unless she was, oh, you guys
• 59:47
  are with fat lace? Yeah, we like, yeah.
• 59:50
  Dylan. Okay.
• 59:51
  Come on in, we're like, we're just walking up the stairs and
• 59:55
  was amazing. How the hell do we do?
• 59:59
  Just don't say anything and I'm like while I'm talking to him
• 1:00:02
  I'm like dude this is wild. Someone's at the front.
• 1:00:04
  They say hi, welcome to the party.
• 1:00:08
  It was an acai. So I was like Oh, all right so I
• 1:00:11
  had I just kind of got shocked and we just walked in and I'm
• 1:00:14
  like my well I can't believe we're here.
• 1:00:16
  So as always and we're like this is like people higher up.
• 1:00:20
  People in the industry are looking around like holy shit.
• 1:00:23
  This this is wild and I'm just waiting for a second that he has
• 1:00:26
  like a minute. All these people are trying to
• 1:00:28
  come up and talk to him and I see him.
• 1:00:31
  He steps out for a cigarette out like this, something like this
• 1:00:34
  exit in the back. Yeah I tell Wilma y'all.
• 1:00:36
  Come on, let's go. So we so we just follow that
• 1:00:39
  moment. And I just, I just run
• 1:00:41
  downstairs and I'm like, there's no one around them.
• 1:00:44
  Like this is the time. Excuse me.
• 1:00:45
  Excuse me. I'm like, listen, I'm on this
• 1:00:47
  and this. I know this and I told him
• 1:00:50
  exactly what I said. Listen, I work 100 hours a week.
• 1:00:52
  I'm going to be better than you. I'm at this year, I said you're
• 1:00:54
  going to hear of my name watched all the stuff and then he was
• 1:00:58
  like, he was like, okay cool, cool.
• 1:01:00
  So we took a picture and then he gave me his card and then he put
• 1:01:03
  his personal address on there. His a know, he put his email
• 1:01:06
  address on there and he put his number on there, and then I
• 1:01:10
  left. And then as I'm going to risk
• 1:01:15
  sounding really lame right now. But I walked out and you're like
• 1:01:19
  and I want someone else to feel this
• 1:01:38
  way about me. Fuck that.
• 1:01:40
  I'm like, at that point. I chose because when I went over
• 1:01:43
  there, my dad told me he was, when you come back, you got to
• 1:01:46
  figure out what you doing with your life.
• 1:01:48
  You know you just hang a COS working with my Dad.
• 1:01:50
  Yeah. And that meeting him and the
• 1:01:52
  whole kick in the ass. I came back, I was like that,
• 1:01:54
  was it? So what year was that about?
• 1:01:56
  That was 2014 2015. Okay, I was doing work couple
• 1:02:00
  years at that time, but it was gonna be like a side thing.
• 1:02:03
  I didn't think I was going to do it professionally.
• 1:02:05
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:02:05
  Wasn't up until I came back from that trip and meeting him and
• 1:02:07
  tell him to his face. That was that The whole story
• 1:02:11
  was like a movie, there was a movie, they have danced.
• 1:02:15
  So many movies with that story. It's like, how are we gonna get
• 1:02:18
  in, dude? Oh, yeah.
• 1:02:20
  You guys right in? Yo, dude, how did you get in
• 1:02:23
  your nose? And then there's the Cayenne,
• 1:02:25
  top of the stairs. I would be like, oh, my God,
• 1:02:40
  Get him when he's alone and like it's fucked up because I just I
• 1:02:44
  can't enjoy the moment and where I'm at because I sit down and
• 1:02:47
  obviously whoever's there is like higher up an industry.
• 1:02:50
  Right? So while I'm waiting, I'm
• 1:02:53
  waiting to talk to some guy sits in front of me and he's like hey
• 1:02:56
  how are you? I'm okay, yeah.
• 1:02:57
  Hey whatever I'm not. Hey I'm like I'm not looking to
• 1:02:59
  really talk with them. He's looking to network w-we're
• 1:03:02
  just hands me his card. He's the president of rotor form
• 1:03:05
  Wheels. Oh my, holy shit, I got to be
• 1:03:09
  here. Especially because, you know,
• 1:03:20
  you have a task at hand here. Yeah.
• 1:03:21
  Okay. It was a job that had to get
• 1:03:23
  done. Yep.
• 1:03:24
  It wasn't like, I'm here to hang out.
• 1:03:26
  Yeah. And like, you know, and like I
• 1:03:28

• 1:03:31
  to do, they're just hanging out and like, we're just like, we're
• 1:03:34

• 1:03:38
  doing something we're looking at.
• 1:03:40
  We're updating our apps like, we're gonna what big business

  So it was just her. Why are you in Japan in the
• 1:03:46
  first place? Um, it was kind of like a thing.

  I I graduated college and it was like, okay I want to do this and
• 1:03:56
  my parents like okay, like will pay half your trip, but this
• 1:04:00
  needs to be like when you come back you're going to figure out
• 1:04:03
  what you can do after this either.
• 1:04:05
  Either you're gonna do it or not.
• 1:04:06
  So I said, okay, cool. And I went based on that and
• 1:04:11
  those a couple events that happened over there, that just

• 1:04:25
  Like the whole show feels like a feat, like, I don't remember
• 1:04:31
  anything. It was like a dream, a fever
• 1:04:33
  dream. The quality was through the
• 1:04:34
  roof. I'm going nuts on Fanboy of

• 1:06:28
  states. He reaches out to me and he
• 1:06:30
  goes. Okay.
• 1:06:30
  Do you want to continue on? I just ignored his fucking email
• 1:06:35
  because I can't live up to what he was, what he wanted.
• 1:06:37
  I want rubbing elbows with people.
• 1:06:39
  I shouldn't be rubbing elbows with But at that time yeah there
• 1:06:42
  were guys like very much A lot of people there and I was like
• 1:06:46
  holy shit like I wish I could actually hold up to what I'm
• 1:06:50
  saying over here but the next part of the story was gonna be
• 1:06:52
  like. So you know that little part on
• 1:06:53
  the fender the are no. I wish man.
• 1:07:02
  Do you wish that you can? What would you have?
• 1:07:04
  Personally I think of that and I'm like if I could go back and
• 1:07:07
  I had some sort of work that I could show them and be like yes
• 1:07:10
  yeah. Darcy is cool, but check this
• 1:07:13
  shit out. Check out what this your psyche
• 1:07:16
  use from this? I wish I had more.
• 1:07:18
  I wish I had more Merit to my name and to my word that point
• 1:07:22
  because I like I shouldn't be doing that type of work.
• 1:07:25
  You know, it's still a story that wasn't it wasn't right at
• 1:07:28
  all and I was just trying to, you know, they always say fake
• 1:07:31
  it till you make it. Yeah.
• 1:07:32
  Oh yeah. And I've done it for years and
• 1:07:33
  that was a case of Faking it till I make it but he called me
• 1:07:36
  on my bluff. Yeah.
• 1:07:38
  But the story. Tory, wouldn't have been good if
• 1:07:42
  you if you were where you are today and you went it would have
• 1:07:44
  been like, oh yes, yes, yes, just yeah.
• 1:07:47
  I was pretty much anything and it would just been a story.
• 1:07:49
  Yeah, but now it's kind of Bittersweet though because I
• 1:07:52
  wish I could be there now. I mean, you got to go back and
• 1:07:56
  like getting, if you could get a situation again again.
• 1:07:59
  Yeah, those situations it would be a lot different because it
• 1:08:01
  would be, I would be able to back up what I'm saying.
• 1:08:04
  Yeah, nonsense, I was just spit and shower.
• 1:08:07
  I do this. Yeah, you want a bumper?
• 1:08:08
  No problem. Oh, you probably had like a
• 1:08:10
  handful of car. You did at the time or
• 1:08:12
  something. I don't like I did one.
• 1:08:13
  Not even your own or know my own of, okay?
• 1:08:16
  Yeah. So you had that.
• 1:08:17
  So that was the only thing I was like, showing everybody.
• 1:08:19
  Because so reckless interaction with Toyota and at that time, it
• 1:08:25
  was nothing I did. That's cool though.
• 1:08:45
  Dude I'm glad you had that like mentality then because I would
• 1:08:49
  have never fucking walked up to him and said that like there's a
• 1:08:54
  bunch of times that I haven't done that and the feeling of
• 1:08:59
  going home with that shit of like I should have that says a
• 1:09:02
  lot worse than going there and fighting through all the
• 1:09:05
  anxiety. Yeah it's a lot was just go
• 1:09:07
  ahead and do it. There's a bunch of times I've
• 1:09:10
  went up to Two people in the industry and I've said the same
• 1:09:13
  line and it never amounted to anything.
• 1:09:15
  It didn't turn out, good at all there were time, fuck you.
• 1:09:19
  Yeah, speaking of fat lace, I spoke with Mark when he was here
• 1:09:27
  on the East Coast, I want to talk to him to potentially do
• 1:09:29
  something that's more personal. Yeah, at least.
• 1:09:33
  Holy shit. So I went up some with the same
• 1:09:34
  Spiel. Listen man, I know you got
• 1:09:37
  everybody on the west coast but you got no, but on the East like
• 1:09:40
  me if you ever try to build a Are in the East.
• 1:09:41
  It's like me. He was like okay, sure, yeah but
• 1:09:46
  at least you said it. I said it I laid out all the
• 1:09:55
  cards. Yeah if they take it it's on
• 1:09:58
  them. But yeah, of course oh So I
• 1:10:12
  think that's, I think that was always their main thing.
• 1:10:14
  Yeah, it was. It was just like the, yeah,
• 1:10:15
  brand like the lifestyle. Yeah.
• 1:10:16
  It was like a light. It was like that was the first
• 1:10:18
  Lifestyle brand? I remember a different.
• 1:10:20
  Yeah. Yes, I had a Volkswagen man,
• 1:10:22
  people of fat, lazy, man, with all the patterns in it and she
• 1:11:11
  I mean I used to be part of the original.
• 1:11:13
  Hello flush. Doesn't oh no.
• 1:11:17
  No no. I'm talking about wrong fitment
• 1:11:19
  crew. Mmm, completely different.
• 1:11:21
  Hello flush was a West Coast thing but they kind of started
• 1:11:24
  the whole stance, think. Yeah it was them like because
• 1:11:27
  there was no such word as stance.
• 1:11:29
  So when you looked up something that was fitted, you have to
• 1:11:31
  look up. Hello flush Subaru.
• 1:11:32
  Hello flush. Evil.
• 1:11:35
  Hello flush as a team. Yeah.
• 1:11:36
  Yeah, exactly. How I knew it as a flush mount.
• 1:11:39
  The wheel was like that's just I like that era for a little while
• 1:11:51
  I'd like to error when that didn't exist, what I guess.
• 1:11:53
  But like The Stance stuff but like the fitness I'm not really
• 1:11:57
  from that era when it didn't exist but it was like I feel
• 1:12:00
  like it was the tail end of it but the thing is the way that
• 1:12:02
  something was fitted was like way different.
• 1:12:05
  Like it would just like fit. I kind of like all styles of
• 1:12:09
  that like Unlike the super super cambered out.
• 1:12:13
  Okay, super camera table. Like I think they're nice.
• 1:12:16
  I don't find anything wrong with him and every time someone posts
• 1:12:19
  a picture comments, oh, it just looks like somebody stepped on
• 1:12:22
  is looking hot. Yeah, okay, like whatever, it's
• 1:12:24
  not your fucking Styles. So it like I still think it
• 1:12:27
  takes work. Yeah, to make it look that cool.
• 1:12:29
  It's not like he just changed the coilovers and thing.
• 1:12:32
  Like you'll just arms that go into play there, shit that he
• 1:12:34
  has to go. Here's what a, what a what about
• 1:12:36
  the RX-8 that we've all seen, recently?
• 1:12:38
  That blue one, would you, what would you take?
• 1:12:41
  Beyond something like that, I know that.
• 1:12:43
  Yeah. Yeah I mean I do work but wasn't
• 1:12:47
  necessarily great work. Okay.
• 1:12:49
  I don't know nothing. The execution wasn't there.
• 1:12:51
  Here's the thing. That that car, right?
• 1:12:53
  Yeah. What are we doing right now?
• 1:12:55
  We all stopped to talk about that car, right?
• 1:12:57
  Yeah, he won. He won.
• 1:12:59
  He won sir, he won. You want you just right now?
• 1:13:10
  He's winning. Bloom up?
• 1:13:12
  Yeah, he's winning. So anyone could talk shit all he
• 1:13:15
  wants and everyone that's talking shit, guess what?
• 1:13:17
  Nobody knows about you, dude. No, but everybody knows about
• 1:13:20
  him. I bet you.
• 1:13:21
  Everybody knows his name. I'm out.
• 1:13:22
  Early knows them. I bet you everybody knows as IG
• 1:13:24
  handle. That's true though.
• 1:13:25
  Here is he was so, regardless, if it's good or bad, if it
• 1:13:30
  forces someone to formulate an opinion, you won do ya, fuck
• 1:13:35
  everything else, bad good, whatever it is, you want.
• 1:13:37
  So so regardless how I feel about it might not be my style.
• 1:13:41
  While I might not want to drive the car you want.
• 1:13:44
  Yeah I wouldn't have the balls under the city is good
• 1:13:46
  publicity. Well yeah kind of yes you could
• 1:13:49
  argue that but it is true though.
• 1:13:51
  Yes, because anything he's trying to pin that situation
• 1:13:53
  molding it. Yeah sure faction.
• 1:13:55
  Sex tape. We're action sex tape.
• 1:13:58
  Publicity is good. Publicity.
• 1:14:01
  My mentality with the whole like slammed and fitment thing has
• 1:14:04
  always been can like whatever car they're using.
• 1:14:10
  Was it was it a? At a sports car was that I'm
• 1:14:13
  probably not gonna, it's probably not going to be my
• 1:14:15
  thing. I could agree with that because
• 1:14:17
  when I see a like a Subaru, STI, when I see that, I'm like,
• 1:14:21
  that's a great car to drive. Wait, wait, let's pour it out.
• 1:14:25
  You said, you don't want it. Stamped on a sports guy, like, I
• 1:14:28
  see it takes away from the sport.
• 1:14:29
  Exactly. Yeah, but the are not the fact
• 1:14:33
  that he did it to a sports car, is kind of ironic in itself.
• 1:14:37
  What kind of makes it cool again?
• 1:14:39
  Like I've seen Like I'm trying to like I've seen an, I mean,
• 1:14:45
  you've worked on a lot of Z and S2000.
• 1:14:47
  Like these cars are meant to be sports cars but when they're on
• 1:14:49
  the ground it looks very nice. It does look cool so it's very
• 1:14:51
  nice. I'm thinking of like high sleep.
• 1:14:54
  I mean I don't care how things work function to me is way after
• 1:14:58
  I don't care if it looks good when it's rolling on the
• 1:15:02
  highway. Yeah that's what matters.
• 1:15:03
  That's all that matters. Feels good.
• 1:15:05
  Looks cool. That's all that matters.
• 1:15:07
  Feels good, looks cool. I'm gonna make sure that I was
• 1:15:09
  gonna say you care more about About the looks than anything
• 1:15:12
  else I would drifting especially well, I'm sure yes you guys are
• 1:15:15
  actually but then when your little bit of function a little
• 1:15:18
  bit, but I'm not running the car.
• 1:15:21
  What's cool what's picking up? I see guys are doing is like, as
• 1:15:25
  far as the guys who drift. It's cool to lift your card, I
• 1:15:28
  know. Yeah, it is.
• 1:15:29
  So it's like not here though. Not in the shot hero.
• 1:15:42
  Is that where the thing you put on the East Coast?
• 1:15:44
  You have fresh trees. Making fun of everyone.
• 1:15:45
  They Josh thinks if he roasts me enough, I'll raise my car but I
• 1:15:49
  just like it. I like it low like that II like
• 1:15:52
  a middle ground. There's a middle ground here.
• 1:15:53
  It's like I just think it looks better.
• 1:15:55
  Like if you genuinely from the bottom of your heart, think it
• 1:15:59
  looks better where the Gap where I could see.
• 1:16:01
  I know. That's fine.
• 1:16:02
  You know, that's where they're at right now.
• 1:16:04
  Looks is just opinion that it's fine.
• 1:16:06
  But I mean me. Yeah.
• 1:16:09
  So now I'm like, I kind of feel like how you feel about.
• 1:16:14
  Like how you what you just said about that is like, when you
• 1:16:17
  said like lowering a Subaru and making it look good with the
• 1:16:19
  fitment, you could still appreciate it.
• 1:16:22
  Yeah. That's kind of where I feel with
• 1:16:23
  the raised cars and drifting. I'm like yeah.
• 1:16:25
  I could see I could see how it looks cool.
• 1:16:28
  Because number one, the driving is way better.
• 1:16:31
  That's the thing. They have to be driving well
• 1:16:33
  though. Yeah, it's one day.
• 1:16:34
  Yeah. And it looks like ass, you know,
• 1:16:36
  like every time you overbuilt crazy kids and all the shit and
• 1:16:40
  he's like spinning out on everything.
• 1:16:41
  It's kind of like that but like, if it's raised up, you have to
• 1:16:43
  show. I wish I had a photo job.
• 1:16:45
  I still just need to it. Has to look good.
• 1:16:47
  Yeah, but like I feel like I'm still on the new whose naoki's
• 1:16:53
  car, though? You know how it's taller.
• 1:16:54
  Yeah, but it's got vinyl and it looks sick.
• 1:16:57
  Yeah. But okay.
• 1:16:58
  Look look right there. You see those see that guy the
• 1:17:00
  lead driver? A long time ago.
• 1:17:02
  There was this driver right there.
• 1:17:04
  Frankie bovie know. So is that your car outside
• 1:17:07
  sitting there for three years? How long ago was that?
• 1:17:09
  So do that was And 15. I guess it's got to be almost 10
• 1:17:13
  years soon. It's got to be almost 10 years
• 1:17:16
  ago that lot of was taken. Look how good it doesn't end
• 1:17:19
  that wasn't the last time. I drove that if you're so
• 1:17:22
  good-looking because it's so like everything just looks sleek
• 1:17:26
  and that's what that's the newest photo, my car.
• 1:17:29
  So, that was when it was like polar, it's a little cool.
• 1:17:32
  It still looks slam there but it's like just just enough Tire
• 1:17:36
  showing. Yeah, not fully talk.
• 1:17:38
  I'm not even asking for slam, like even a little higher than
• 1:17:41
  that. Yes, still be fine.
• 1:17:42
  Yeah, that's fine. That's more than I agree.
• 1:17:44
  That's, that's migrate to a lot of people that, that is on the
• 1:17:47
  ground. Another were talking about
• 1:17:48
  drifting. You dabbled in a little bit.
• 1:17:51
  Yeah, I was gonna say that next would, what I would be so
• 1:17:53
  scared. I know it's been years since and
• 1:17:59
  I don't ever say I drift anymore because I can't say I haven't
• 1:18:02
  done it in years. I would be a poser but it's like
• 1:18:04
  me when I did. When I did yet, I remember I
• 1:18:10
  would come up on the grid at Club.
• 1:18:13
  Lucy. Yeah.
• 1:18:13
  Like you sure. Yeah.
• 1:18:15
  Yeah. Off.
• 1:18:16
  The bumpers are something like. Are you sure you want to go?
• 1:18:18
  Yeah, I'll be good. I'll be good.
• 1:18:20
  Fix it. Ever breaks you go off and break
• 1:18:30
  shit and stuff. And one of the last times I went
• 1:18:34
  out, I broke. I bent Front rad, support the
• 1:18:39
  intercooler cuz like, oh my God. Yeah, like a bunch of stuff like
• 1:18:43
  fucked up and then, but I think that was one of the last times,
• 1:18:46
  but it's not that I stopped for any other reason than I just had
• 1:18:49
  to choose where my money went to.
• 1:18:51
  Yeah, you know, and I was okay. I've course I do.
• 1:18:54
  I enjoyed going on the track, of course.
• 1:18:57
  Yeah. But as a longevity-wise, where
• 1:19:00
  do I want to plant my money and time right now?
• 1:19:03
  Where I could see something. Yeah.
• 1:19:06
  And not, Some guys can do it. I cannot that was cool though.
• 1:19:10
  That you got to experience that. Yeah, dude, it was and like some
• 1:19:14
  of the time I was when I was drifting the car.
• 1:19:17
  It wasn't even manual swapped yet.
• 1:19:18
  Oh shit. Half of the time.
• 1:19:20
  Yeah, I just had a well Dad if with a little would like a
• 1:19:23
  hydro. Okay.
• 1:19:24
  And I'll just swing it, believe me, it looked very ugly and the
• 1:19:27
  whole line was very weird. I'm just popping it to or
• 1:19:30
  something or no. See I feel we're gonna talk
• 1:19:33
  really lame right now. But how we're gonna drift of
• 1:19:35
  automatic know people Yes. Yes.
• 1:19:41
  He had the mark to know yet the mark to.
• 1:19:43
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think so older.
• 1:19:45
  Wait, what? Yes, this is fun about one.
• 1:19:48
  Yeah, he had a black mark to and we do bad things like my heroes.
• 1:20:15
  So you're really limited on speed because you could either
• 1:20:19
  go in one or you going D. And one is sometimes you're
• 1:20:23
  going too slow. And 4-D sometimes as too fast.
• 1:20:25
  Yeah. So it's kind of hard you kind of
• 1:20:27
  have to play back and forth and and and obviously the hydro
• 1:20:31
  helped a lot but it's just locks of drivetrain.
• 1:20:33
  Yes, because you're An automatic is an automat and I have to lock
• 1:20:37
  and obviously the well Dad, if I still have a world of dip but
• 1:20:40
  the world, if also helped a lot because I had an LSD, the
• 1:20:43
  factory LSD, yeah, Factory else, you trash sometimes good but
• 1:20:48
  most of the time they're not, it wasn't a vlsc like how it is on
• 1:20:51
  the Ester teens or as for teenagers, yes, she's whatever
• 1:20:55
  it was. It's like a weird one.
• 1:21:00
  So it wasn't really it wasn't really doing well.
• 1:21:03
  Yeah and then I welded it as just made it a whole lot easier
• 1:21:05
  and you're still driving with the welded on it.
• 1:21:07
  Yes yes I have just in case just in case you want to have a lot
• 1:21:15
  of camber. So it would just skip really
• 1:21:17
  easy but now ever since and Yeah, it was the best best
• 1:21:32
  dollar best all I could have spent towards it.
• 1:21:34
  I remember seeing his car, we're at chicken and rice will night.
• 1:21:37
  Hello guys, I thought who I was with.
• 1:21:39

• 1:21:50
  live in Jersey you do live in? Yes.
• 1:21:51
  Yes, I'm okay because I went back and forth.
• 1:21:53
  I was born and raised in Brooklyn but I was making as
• 1:21:56
  making the trip back and forth being I wanted to Have my place
• 1:22:00
  here. Yeah.
• 1:22:01
  To a jersey and and I bought a house.
• 1:22:03
  A lot of people do that. I mean, Josh moved here other
• 1:22:06
  Front Street, guys. Thinking about moving to Jersey
• 1:22:07
  to listen. I'm a jersey sucks.
• 1:22:10
  Wooly, whoa. Those are fighting words sucks.
• 1:22:14
  Whoa. Okay.
• 1:22:15
  I was always like Brooklyn till I die fucking Jersey but Malcolm
• 1:22:19
  sensor that part out the whole, the whole thing about Jersey is
• 1:22:23
  it gives it's good for me in every way right now, you know,
• 1:22:27
  all these New York City people man.
• 1:22:29
  Good for me, Jersey sucks. But I live here, I live here.
• 1:22:32
  I bought a house. I pay tags on here.
• 1:22:38
  I know, but I don't know. Manuel Yorkers like Jersey,
• 1:22:42
  good. And every time I go back to
• 1:22:43
  Brooklyn now, oh my God. This place sucks man with socks.
• 1:22:48
  So now, it's like the opposite. I like the open Highway, turning
• 1:22:52
  kind of like everything in Brooklyn.
• 1:22:54
  It takes half hour to yeah, fucking drive two miles here.
• 1:22:57
  You drive 10 miles in 10 minutes, you know?
• 1:22:59
  Yeah. So that part is definitely
• 1:23:00
  better. Yeah yeah it's just and the
• 1:23:02
  pizza. You can the pieces better in
• 1:23:05
  Jersey. Fuck.
• 1:23:06
  I think the pizza is he was already.
• 1:23:09
  I think the pizza is relatively the same between kind of where
• 1:23:12
  we are right now. Definitely Newark areas.
• 1:23:14
  It's a new, You're simply close. Yes, it's all closed.
• 1:23:17
  I'm not one of those guys that. Yeah, pizzas the best any
• 1:23:20
  another Pizza Guy either. So no it's fine.
• 1:23:22
  The only thing better about jerseys.
• 1:23:24
  They have fun with their slices. They have like shit on it.
• 1:23:26
  You know in Brooklyn it's all Here, the thrown everything on
• 1:23:31
  it. That's have a mild problem with
• 1:23:34
  that. Dude.

  It's getting ridiculous. Somebody the other day Eminem's.
• 1:23:37
  No, I'm kidding. No, no.

  Is that real? Is that real?
• 1:23:39
  I don't know. I hope.
• 1:23:42
  Oh, no. Sorry and I saw a piece of
• 1:24:01
  pizza, it had the sauce, but it had fucking tacos all over the
• 1:24:05
  top of it tacos. Full tacos, not like a taco
• 1:24:09
  slice where it's like ground beef and all that shit.
• 1:24:12
  All the fucking Pizza tacos are the appetite.
• 1:24:13
  It was Tacos on top of a pizza. So I was like, so then what the
• 1:24:17
  fuck am I eating? But as bad as that sounds, I
• 1:24:20
  rather eat that over when we went to final bout and we ate
• 1:24:23
  that. Sorry.
• 1:24:24
  God. Oh, the casserole casserole,
• 1:24:27
  that's what we call it. On the pizza.
• 1:25:00
  Yeah, yeah, was the sauce good though, nothing was good.
• 1:25:04
  Okay, it's just I would go. Let's go to be five wins again.
• 1:25:11
  I would not ever eat the pizza there in Chicago.
• 1:25:14
  However, I would eat Popeyes ten times over.
• 1:25:17
  Yeah, it's kind of times. There's a Popeye's guy
• 1:25:19
  motherfucking love. I saw the little sticker on your

  car. Yes, yes, yes.
• 1:25:54
  Is there, dude? His different its way, like the
• 1:26:02
  of the breading and like the shit.

  Just taste fucking damn. I like rice and beans.
• 1:26:07
  That's one of my favorite things from Popeyes beans.
• 1:26:10
  Yeah, it's my favorite side, Popeyes rice and beans for side.
• 1:26:13
  It's a sad. I get that on the side.
• 1:26:15
  Don't get me wrong. I'll still eat the chicken fries
• 1:26:17
  as the yeah. There's no such thing as so many
• 1:26:28
  times. Here's what I do, like about the
• 1:26:30
  cajun fries. You can still order in a big
• 1:26:32
  box. Yes, the me.
• 1:26:33
  Yeah, that's for me, I'll take the big bucks, those cajun fries
• 1:26:37
  with the ranch sauce. Don't even give me anything
• 1:26:41
  else. I'm good.
• 1:26:42
  I'm good at spicy chicken sandwich, though, to food not.
• 1:26:46
  I don't even eat the chicken sandwich.
• 1:26:47
  I just had the basic chicken. The basic chicken is better.
• 1:26:50
  It's great. It's great the biscuit.
• 1:26:53
  Yes, the biscuit. Stick it on top.
• 1:26:55
  You put some ranch on it. Oh, I might go to Popeyes after
• 1:26:57
  this. Is there one around here?
• 1:27:00
  There is one around I'm hungry as shit.
• 1:27:04
  Oh, oh, they're called the choke me Dykes.

  fucking biscuits. Here's here's I know.
• 1:27:13
  Here's here's the, here's the thing.
• 1:27:15
  I have a huge fucking fight with the Popeyes by me, and I refuse
• 1:27:20
  to go there ever again. What they do to you.
• 1:27:23
  Every time I go there, and I don't, I'm not saying I hate the
• 1:27:25
  fries, but I'm just saying there are days where I want the rice
• 1:27:28
  and fucking be. Beans and I've been there it on
• 1:27:31
  two separate occasions, okay? And they don't have the rights
• 1:27:34
  and be no, they do have it and the first time they miss they
• 1:27:37
  mistakenly maybe gave me the fries and it was after I got
• 1:27:42
  home already and so the second time I go there and the kid
• 1:27:47
  asked me o fries after I said rice and beans and I corrected
• 1:27:54
  him I said no Rice and beans said, no, I said rice and beans
• 1:28:03
  but like like a dumbass, I go back to my car through, I get
• 1:28:08
  the bag. I put it back in my car, I go
• 1:28:10
  home and guess what's not in the fucking bag rice and beans.
• 1:28:16
  The bean never went back there. Ever again.
• 1:28:20
  Unbelievable. How many times has that happened
• 1:28:21
  to you? That was the second time C to
• 1:28:25
  time for me. Once you ain't gonna fool me
• 1:28:27
  again. I don't know if you got, I don't
• 1:28:31
  know how often you guys even Popeyes, but they don't have the
• 1:28:33
  Cajun Rice anymore. That sounds delicious.
• 1:28:37
  Am I eating rice and beans though?
• 1:28:39
  They're putting it in the be no, no.
• 1:28:41
  There's there was rice and beans but then there was also another
• 1:28:43
  option for Cajun Rice. Oh, I didn't even know that.
• 1:28:46
  That's not the lowest Jam. They don't have anymore.
• 1:28:49
  Here's the thing a Popeye's. Oh, what?
• 1:28:51
  Oh, are you going to comment on the food itself to show?
• 1:28:54

• 1:29:52
  your daily intake, and that was a two piece, that's it.
• 1:29:56
  And for these fuckers right now, you just pull out a fruit

  Popeyes Cajun fries are good. But I want to know.
• 1:33:33
  Have you had Checkers fries though?
• 1:33:35
  Chuck is not good. Oh, I thought we'd check her

  lunch once. But we're like, we gotta try to
• 1:34:05
  Patterson. And that's a lot of times.

• 1:34:57
  place? That's what's one what's Hardy's

  And he's like, hey, I'm like that might have been the second
• 1:38:08
  one. No no.
• 1:38:09
  That was the first of all you just saw him in a regular car.
• 1:38:13
  Yeah. You just driving and then he
• 1:38:14
  said, where are you going? I'm going to find these.
• 1:38:16
  I wish I was going. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:38:18
  Like that time I went and we took the whole trip out there
• 1:38:22
  and then we went and it was nice but I saw, I saw you at the
• 1:38:25
  Oasis to Oasis. Yes, we're all walking around
• 1:38:27
  and I'm like, wait a minute. Yes, I'm like, what the fuck?
• 1:38:30
  And I was like this, you drove. Here yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:38:33
  It was like holy Shah was we just write, we caught a ride
• 1:38:36
  with like the boss Town, dudes coming from message.
• 1:38:40
  That's how we went. Wait, so you guys trailer, we
• 1:38:42
  didn't drive that event. So it was me and a friend.
• 1:38:45
  Okay, we drove. He's the one who owns the
• 1:38:47
  crested. I think we do.
• 1:38:48
  See ya me out. It was me and him.
• 1:38:50
  We were like, I was like, yo, we have to go to this event.
• 1:38:52
  Yeah. And we were broke and I was
• 1:38:54
  like, I don't care what we have to do, we have to go there.
• 1:38:57
  So I told the story in the pockets before but like we
• 1:38:59
  fucking took his his minivan. He had at the time.
• 1:39:02
  I'm and we just drove all the way up to Massachusetts, met the
• 1:39:04
  boss down, guys, and never met them before.
• 1:39:06
  I was like, all right was weird, was it awkward?
• 1:39:09
  Taking a drive with strangers? I would say no, but it may be
• 1:39:13
  for him because he was in the back seat.
• 1:39:15
  I got lucky, man, I was in a good seat all the time for some
• 1:39:17
  reason, but he was in the back of like like my truck type shit
• 1:39:21
  like so it's like an extended cab.
• 1:39:24
  But no, they were all cool. Like it was it was a good time.
• 1:39:26
  And so he put we must have been friends on Facebook or something
• 1:39:28
  cuz he put a post out. He's like, does anyone want to
• 1:39:31
  go to final bout? Got two seats eating like, you
• 1:39:33
  know, you pay. Yeah.
• 1:39:34
  Just like, jump on. Yeah, and I was like, fuck it,
• 1:39:37
  we're gone. So that's how we.
• 1:39:38
  That's how he was the first one. Okay.
• 1:39:40
  So so you don't have your cars at the Bell.
• 1:39:41
  So you saw my car there but you don't have your car.
• 1:39:43
  Yeah, so that's why I was like what though?
• 1:39:45
  I drove like an idiot and then the second year I was like, I'm
• 1:39:49
  not doing this again. Yeah.
• 1:39:50
  It was just was dumb second year so let's go.
• 1:39:53
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, dude.
• 1:39:58
  Was it was it turbo? It's GT.
• 1:40:03
  Look like that. Yes, yeah.
• 1:40:06
  So it was wild because we're in the middle of it wherever Ohio,
• 1:40:10
  Indiana because ball driving around low hitting all the bumps
• 1:40:14
  and shit and we're just going, I think it's me and my friend I
• 1:40:16
  think is me and his two daughters and then we drove and
• 1:40:21
  like, oh this was fucking dumb and what was like it was so hot.
• 1:40:27
  So I was like, okay, I was like, I gotta hook up the shit, I
• 1:40:30
  gotta get my A seagoing, I get my, a seagoing.
• 1:40:34
  We get on the road, we get into Pennsylvania, the car starts.
• 1:40:38
  Well, it starts smoking. Oh, what the fuck happens?
• 1:40:41
  I pull over. We realized that one of my lines
• 1:40:44
  for the for the AC started leaking and the freon was
• 1:40:48
  leaking out, who's smoking whatever.
• 1:40:49
  I see is always the hardest motherfucking thing at work,
• 1:40:51
  dude, right at the start of the trip.
• 1:40:53
  So we have to drive the whole thing with the windows down
• 1:40:56
  sweating or whole back sweat and just dying for hours.
• 1:40:59
  And that's probably also why we extended it.
• 1:41:01
  How many days so it took us like how many days to get there and
• 1:41:04
  how many days to yeah, to again. And then he went to the second
• 1:41:06
  one. We went to the second one too,
• 1:41:08
  and like it was stupid because like, I don't want to say I'm
• 1:41:13
  friends with them but I know the guys from proceed and all those
• 1:41:16
  things and all that shit, right? So once we got there, he's like
• 1:41:22
  this to chop who drives through the GI.
• 1:41:24
  Yes. Yeah.
• 1:41:25
  He just he's like, dude, come out.
• 1:41:26
  Hang out and he was the only one I had the number two, did have
• 1:41:28
  friendlier all those guys. I don't even know.
• 1:41:30
  I didn't talk to anyone. I'm such an introvert.
• 1:41:32
  I didn't even go out at the whole end of the day everyone
• 1:41:35
  went out to the parties and the hangout and shit.
• 1:41:37
  Yeah, he went back to the hotel to watch TV.
• 1:41:40
  Yeah. Walked outside.
• 1:41:42
  Walk through, trust me, trust me.
• 1:41:43
  I want to do the same shit. Yeah, I look back I kick myself
• 1:41:48
  because I'm looking at pictures of look.
• 1:41:50
  It looks like a blast. Yeah, I'm like but those guys
• 1:41:52
  are so nice. Man.
• 1:41:53
  Once you get away from this area, everyone just stares and
• 1:41:55
  also nice and there's no gatekeeping.
• 1:41:59
  There's no type of shit. They were all extremely nice
• 1:42:03
  extremely welcoming and it was surprising that I don't know
• 1:42:08
  they were just so okay with everything every.
• 1:42:11
  Yeah, just the only thing I said, yo, is it cool if I come?
• 1:42:13
  But I'm not going to drive as if ya come.
• 1:42:15
  Come on. All right.
• 1:42:16
  Cool. Yeah, it's a totally different
• 1:42:18
  and like the first one was experimental.
• 1:42:20
  So like I said it was very it was cool to see the first one
• 1:42:24
  happening. Kind of like there wasn't a lot
• 1:42:26
  of teams yet. You know, there wasn't a lot but
• 1:42:28
  it was like a handful of them and most of them didn't even
• 1:42:30
  show up. I feel like there was a From the
• 1:42:32
  didn't even come, but it was like the internet was all
• 1:42:34
  hanging out. Yes, yes, just, that's what it
• 1:42:36
  felt like. That's what it was.
• 1:42:37
  And now, that's normal. I'm so it's normal.
• 1:42:40
  That's normal, everyone like everyone.
• 1:42:42
  That's how it felt. Yes.
• 1:42:43
  Probably like, like, so different about feeling it felt
• 1:42:45
  like the forum's were hanging out.
• 1:42:47
  Yeah, that's see. That's that's.
• 1:42:48
  And then after final bout came, all of the people that wanted to
• 1:42:53
  recreate. Yes.
• 1:42:54
  Fine about. So now there's all these.
• 1:42:56
  I don't want a name thence, I'm gonna look like an asshole but
• 1:42:58
  there's people that are very imitating.
• 1:43:01
  Yeah. The whole final bout team thing
• 1:43:03
  which makes sense. I still it's a.
• 1:43:04
  I don't thinking do it. Yeah, I don't think anything
• 1:43:07
  will ever mimic it though. Like, well, you're never going
• 1:43:09
  to. You're never going to get to
• 1:43:10
  that. Feeling that the first one was.
• 1:43:12
  Yeah. Maybe.
• 1:43:13
  And the second was pretty good, but it started wild.
• 1:43:15
  Yeah, I started missing it. After I think, I went to three
• 1:43:19
  as well. And then after that, I yeah, I
• 1:43:21
  think I went to three now. They got like seven events a
• 1:43:23
  year. I just there's stairs.
• 1:43:25
  The central. There's.
• 1:43:26
  Yeah. And then I went to East once,
• 1:43:29
  which one we're was the one in Tom's.
• 1:43:32
  Not Thompson and con on Kenan Kenan.
• 1:43:35
  Yeah. I called Cannon.
• 1:43:36
  I don't know what the fuck. I don't know what it's called.
• 1:43:37
  But I went to that one and it was not the same.
• 1:43:41
  Yeah. It was all over the place.
• 1:43:43
  Who's doing what? Yeah, I was out on the track.
• 1:43:45
  Sometimes they'll be here. The Treads kind of cool.
• 1:43:47
  I'll give it that. I mean obviously I didn't drive
• 1:43:50
  the truck but that long. Yeah.
• 1:43:51
  Straight away. Come here really tight?
• 1:43:54
  Right, right. Yeah, there's a couple guys that
• 1:43:55
  went into the fence. Yeah, it was me.
• 1:43:57
  Nice. No, I didn't go to France but we
• 1:43:59
  did fuck up that first turn It was wild to watch.
• 1:44:03
  It wasn't as cool as the one at Charles Schwab.
• 1:44:07
  It's actually Shawano. How do we need people corrected
• 1:44:11
  us over there? Yeah.
• 1:44:13
  Well, we're looking for Shawano. The con.
• 1:44:16
  Oh, you mean, ya know. It's like, yeah.
• 1:44:18
  But it's got W so Shawano Shawano.
• 1:44:22
  It was the vibe for not. That's so fucking cheesy.
• 1:44:25
  It's the vibe there that I like like, literally.
• 1:44:28
  I was happy, literally that whole weekend.
• 1:44:30
  Yeah. Did you except for when the car
• 1:44:32
  died you stopped in Chicago, obviously?
• 1:44:34
  I mean, it took you five days, you definitely stuck there.
• 1:44:36
  Yeah. So, did you experience a car
• 1:44:39
  show or any Gatherings that they have?
• 1:44:40
  No, no, I didn't go to anything. Dude, super the fucking meets in
• 1:44:45
  Chicago changed my life. Like what the quality of the
• 1:44:49
  cars? The terrific.
• 1:44:51
  I felt very bad after missing it because aside from the Meetup.
• 1:44:55
  Yeah, I saw the crews on the highway.
• 1:44:57
  Yeah, the cars were driving and shit.
• 1:44:58
  It's so weird. Man.
• 1:44:59
  Chicago fellow Japan. I never been But I'm just
• 1:45:02
  saying, like I was like, what the fuck is going on out here,
• 1:45:04
  Eric, but I have a feeling what you witnessed over there is not
• 1:45:10
  a traditional Chicago. Seems a lot like everyday thing.
• 1:45:12
  That's kind of like a guy coming to these Prime events that come
• 1:45:15
  over here. Yeah.
• 1:45:16
  Yeah. I think that New York or New
• 1:45:17
  Jersey is always like that. Yeah, not it's because Prime
• 1:45:20
  holds great events. Yeah, that's why it's that
• 1:45:22
  great. So being that final bout
• 1:45:24
  possibly had a hand in bringing the cars together.
• 1:45:27
  But I will say it was so nice. Chicago's always a better drift
• 1:45:29
  cars as far as loss. Oh yeah, that's how it's always
• 1:45:32
  been in the state's. Yeah.
• 1:45:34
  Dude. Oh my God.
• 1:45:35
  I have a feeling that now. It's not really like that.
• 1:45:37
  Now it's starting to the whole Because the Internet and to
• 1:45:40
  look, yes, yes charm, look a little better.
• 1:45:41
  But as soon as I mean, just five years ago, ten years ago, you
• 1:45:46
  went to East Coast bash. These cars were looking
• 1:45:48
  horrible. Look, that bad.
• 1:45:50
  Yeah, sure the whole driving school.
• 1:45:53
  But yeah. In my opinion, what makes it
• 1:45:56
  cooler is it look as good as the only teams that were trying to
• 1:45:59
  make the cars look was literally us and Street at Club loose and
• 1:46:03
  then like that. Of course, you have the, you
• 1:46:04
  have the, like, you, you would go there at your car occasions.
• 1:46:06
  So, you have some people like that.
• 1:46:08
  But then, the majority of it was just like, you know, people did
• 1:46:10
  LS1 swaps and 240 they found in a river.
• 1:46:13
  I mean, in their defense, though they drive?
• 1:46:17
  Yes, all those guys. They drive amazing and the
• 1:46:19
  people that run in the blood Masters, that whole group, those
• 1:46:22
  cars they drive like, you know, that shit's crazy wild.
• 1:46:25
  Yeah, I mean, I love watching of course I wish to cars a little
• 1:46:30
  bit. Yeah.
• 1:46:31
  You know. They have been getting a lot
• 1:46:32
  better as far as looks though. Over the last few years.
• 1:46:35
  See all the blood Masters cars. Those cars.
• 1:46:38
  Look pretty good. Now, everyone has this idea now
• 1:46:41
  that just because you match, it looks good.
• 1:46:43
  Sometimes. Yeah.
• 1:46:44
  Magic doesn't look good. Yeah.
• 1:46:46
  Just because it's matching colors doesn't always mean.
• 1:46:48
  Yeah, it's good. Like, back when we back when we
• 1:46:50
  went we had three matching cars with the paint and no stickers
• 1:46:53
  and like after a few years after that I was like, dude can we
• 1:46:56
  never do that again? Because it's just boring.
• 1:46:58
  And I noticed a not because we did it.
• 1:47:00
  I noticed it because I see other teams.
• 1:47:01
  Teams and I'd be like lose their individuality.
• 1:47:04
  Yeah. Completely.
• 1:47:06
  You know what? Car look good of you guys was.
• 1:47:08
  You had that car that car and there was a crusted.
• 1:47:10
  I think right? The Imus, the third final bout,
• 1:47:14
  the third funnel that we had a Cressida.
• 1:47:16
  Yeah, it was the second one. That that's the second one and
• 1:47:20
  the third car was a that's a second of fun about and the
• 1:47:23
  third car was a coupe on SSRS. What are your lines maybe?
• 1:47:27
  What are those weird school? Yeah.
• 1:47:30
  And that thing was slammed. That car was a real fucking low
• 1:47:34
  and had a drag wing on the back of it.
• 1:47:35
  That's the one. Yes at that one.
• 1:47:37
  Look cool at Scott's car. He's so he moved to South
• 1:47:40
  Carolina or North Carolina right?
• 1:47:42
  Kind of right after it may be a year or two after that and
• 1:47:44
  literally just put the car in his garage and never touched it.
• 1:47:47
  So it's Literally the same when he showed us pictures of it.
• 1:47:51
  It literally looks like a bad way.
• 1:48:00
  Oh yeah. Because there's a couple things
• 1:48:03
  like, put like a hot take. I don't want to say whatever,
• 1:48:06
  but these lowrider scheme roof and valve covers.
• 1:48:11
  Yeah it is. Whack.
• 1:48:16
  What's that? Why definitely overplayed played
• 1:48:18
  out. Yeah.
• 1:48:19
  Feel like this was the, the past two years where the year about?
• 1:48:21
  Yeah. Well, the thing is, if we're
• 1:48:23
  noticing that that means All The Originators of it are always,
• 1:48:26
  like, everyone has this idea where it's like, oh, it's cool.
• 1:48:29
  I'm going to be the guy that does this because it's yeah,
• 1:48:33
  different. Its new age.
• 1:48:34
  It's like a new style. It's edgy.
• 1:48:36
  Then you show up to the vent and 10 other guys have the same
• 1:48:38
  thing. Yeah, it's not edgy and cool
• 1:48:40
  anymore. The work is cool it.
• 1:48:43
  Looks good, but the fact of like so many people are doing it now.
• 1:48:48
  Now, it's not very nice one step away from like that was the
• 1:48:50
  thing I was doing I was doing a lot of roofs like did I'm doing
• 1:48:53
  a lot of valve covers and lowrider style?
• 1:48:55
  Yeah, kind of changed. My style of my art to not do
• 1:48:57
  lowrider, flake style anymore and do other things because
• 1:49:00
  generic there's shops custom shops that are just only doing
• 1:49:05
  their just banging those our work.
• 1:49:06
  It's just the same, same shit. And now, the next edgy thing
• 1:49:11
  it's like it has to be something else we can.
• 1:49:13
  Not be doing the same shit like yeah I was seeing everybody do
• 1:49:16
  this. Have you seen that?
• 1:49:18
  These guys are doing this Manga style rap paint on the car.
• 1:49:23
  Natasha. What that is?
• 1:49:25
  No no not no, no, it's not a charger because it touches like
• 1:49:29
  the anime characters. Oh my God like that.
• 1:49:31
  It looks like it looks like a cartoon Or actually look like
• 1:49:44
  it's in a cartoon. Yeah, that's fucking weird.
• 1:49:46
  Dude. It's okay.
• 1:49:47
  So like the first time I saw it. I was like, Wow.
• 1:49:52
  But then everybody did and then again, everybody's in it.
• 1:49:54
  So now I'm the best in about 2 years.
• 1:49:56
  When everybody else catches up all over the streets, you going
• 1:49:59
  to see these that's anime style wraps and all.
• 1:50:01
  That's what happens with the internet, right?
• 1:50:03
  It's like, the everybody picks it up and then just does it her
• 1:50:05
  assignment the internet, dude, it's social media.
• 1:50:07
  That's what social media, it's exist.
• 1:50:11
  Yes, it spreads, it spreads. Yeah, faster than before.
• 1:50:16
  And like, whereas let's say, let's say years ago.
• 1:50:20
  This is how I would picture this happening.
• 1:50:21
  You go somewhere, you go to fucking Texas or some shit and
• 1:50:24
  you see a car with the roof done up like that and you go back
• 1:50:27
  home to New Jersey and you're like, I'm gonna do that.
• 1:50:29
  I want to do that. Yeah.
• 1:50:31
  And then no one knew about it for a while.
• 1:50:32
  Yeah. Just see.
• 1:50:33
  Like, yo, there's a lowrider roof on there and that was like,
• 1:50:37
  my one of my favorite things. Is that the Clash of cultures,
• 1:50:40
  right? Something always like weather
• 1:50:43
  It's big wheels. Like what James carper's car and
• 1:50:46
  your car? You drip, when you drifting, did
• 1:50:48
  you have the big dish wheels on this?
• 1:50:50
  Yeah. See those are not Performance
• 1:50:52
  Wheels. Yeah, they're not meant to be
• 1:50:53
  drifted, the GS the lowrider style school stuff.
• 1:50:56
  We're talking about before that's a clash of yes, because I
• 1:51:00
  getting this on these gdm cart like a lot of people walk up to
• 1:51:02
  me on his car in there. Like what the fuck?
• 1:51:04
  This is like some low rider. Yes, yes.
• 1:51:06
  Yeah, the cars low? Yes.
• 1:51:07
  Yes, an Aristo platform. That wasn't originally.
• 1:51:09
  A drifting platform nor was Nor is like a, yeah, that's 13.
• 1:51:13
  Made to Drift, But like a lot of these Clashing of cultures
• 1:51:17
  something cool. Sometimes happens.
• 1:51:19
  Yeah, it's it's cool. And original idea of it is cool
• 1:51:23
  and when I get, I'm going to sound like a hipster.
• 1:51:26
  But when I years ago when I was doing that I'm like look, I'm
• 1:51:29
  calling it whack and I have it so yeah you should.
• 1:51:32
  Yeah I am not just hating on a style.
• 1:51:34
  I generally think it's like I told you I want to hide my roof.
• 1:51:37
  You know what, I don't want to show anybody.
• 1:51:39
  It's lame but just seeing it now like I liked what I did
• 1:51:43
  pinstripe. Happy shopping all over the
• 1:51:44
  who's going to ask is that? I have everything I have on the
• 1:51:48
  pillars and like back then I was like, oh wow, this is cool, I
• 1:51:52
  can't scroll through anymore without seeing some hot rod,
• 1:51:54
  okay, but here's another thing to you, I keep in mind you're
• 1:51:57
  getting fed all that shit on Instagram because when you, when
• 1:52:00
  you brought up the pinstriping, I was like, honestly, I don't
• 1:52:03
  really see too much pinstriping, but I'm not in the industry in
• 1:52:06
  the body shop in. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:52:08
  Okay. But maybe body shop but maybe
• 1:52:10
  you don't realize it though. Yeah.
• 1:52:12
  Maybe you don't realize it's there.
• 1:52:13
  There because it's such a small minut thing when I realize it,
• 1:52:16
  because that's my thing, a possibility, you're just being
• 1:52:19
  sent like, every single, like pinstripe car on Instagram.
• 1:52:23
  Possible knows. Well, and there's guys that go
• 1:52:26
  out of their way to. I don't even know these some of
• 1:52:29
  these people. They just send me work of other
• 1:52:31
  people's car. I'm like pets.
• 1:52:32
  So weird though, okay, I don't know you and you just sending me
• 1:52:36
  all the people's work. Okay.
• 1:52:38
  Don't even get me started on fucking people.
• 1:52:39
  Sending DM. Here's here's another thing
• 1:52:41
  told. DM shit, man.
• 1:52:43
  And you don't answer and they still send more of them know I
• 1:52:46
  made it, I made it a personal rule that I said no matter what
• 1:52:51
  level I get to wherever I am, I'm going to respond to every
• 1:52:54
  single fuck. I respond to everybody mostly
• 1:52:58
  everybody. Unless yeah nonsense but I
• 1:53:01
  usually respond to everybody and it's just oh it's a shit show.
• 1:53:05
  Yeah, most of the time I just had this a couple days ago to I
• 1:53:10
  need to turn away probably 90% of The work.
• 1:53:14
  Yeah of course. That that comes in not because
• 1:53:17
  this would be a good thing to talk about because I don't want
• 1:53:20
  to work on that. My time is finite.
• 1:53:23
  I'm 24 hours in a day and what I want to spend my time on I need
• 1:53:27
  to be picky and choosy about it because I have that luxury now
• 1:53:31
  and it's I want my ass off for 10 years to be able to choose.
• 1:53:34
  Yeah and you're adding to your portfolio.
• 1:53:36
  Exactly. I want to add to it, right?
• 1:53:37
  And you want to, you want to kind of add to it?
• 1:53:39
  Every time you do a job every time?
• 1:53:41
  Yeah, I want to pick something that I would think is cool that
• 1:53:45
  I would want to add. And so every time you got to fix
• 1:53:47
  a quarter panel on a Subaru WRX because the guy slapped person
• 1:53:51
  at a takeover it that's taken away.
• 1:53:52
  Take time effort because I could be putting that into something
• 1:53:56
  else. Yeah.
• 1:53:57
  And I've done jobs where I'm not into at all and they come out
• 1:54:02
  like shit. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:54:03
  Because it happens I just want to get it out.
• 1:54:06
  I just want to get paid. I want to pay my bills.
• 1:54:08
  Whatever it is. Yeah.
• 1:54:10
  But then now like I need to turn people away or so.
• 1:54:13
  I'd from it's just being me now. But there's cars that are just
• 1:54:16
  whack. I just don't want to work on but
• 1:54:18
  I'm not mean about it. Because yeah, I say Joe you
• 1:54:21
  could send me an email, whatever it is.
• 1:54:22
  Tell me about your build worst case, I'll just say, no, they're
• 1:54:25
  not. Nice about it.
• 1:54:26
  Say sorry, I'm not interested best of luck on your bill.
• 1:54:28
  Somebody just a couple days ago was like he sent me a car.
• 1:54:32
  I don't want to say the car because if he's listening he's
• 1:54:34
  gonna think I'm fucking talking about him, but he sends me this
• 1:54:36
  card I'm thinking to myself, this is a piece of shit.
• 1:54:39
  This is a piece of shit. I can't believe someone wants to
• 1:54:43
  put timing. And money into the same exact
• 1:54:45
  thoughts just for the record. This is nonsense.
• 1:54:47
  And you just think it yourself. Yeah, would work hard?
• 1:54:50
  Wake up? Go to work.
• 1:54:52
  Come back here, get a paycheck and put it towards this piece of
• 1:54:55
  shit. Yeah.
• 1:54:56
  Who would do that right? Unless unless they're gonna go
• 1:54:59
  all the way with it? Even then some of them are
• 1:55:02
  sometimes. I'm like it's not worth it.
• 1:55:03
  Okay. And if it's worth it for them.
• 1:55:06
  Yeah. But I'm not seeing I'm like I
• 1:55:08
  just don't see it. I don't see the vision,
• 1:55:10
  whatever. So I say, listen, I'm I say I'm
• 1:55:12
  not interested in I'm busy right now.
• 1:55:14
  Whatever it is say, best of luck.
• 1:55:15
  Whatever, it's fine. The guy says, no, he he leaves
• 1:55:18
  me on read the following day. And again, this is like, like,
• 1:55:22
  last week he's sending me something the following day was,
• 1:55:24
  you know, it was really, it was really fucked up.
• 1:55:27
  How you turn me down, you know, he goes, you fucking think,
• 1:55:30
  you're a big shot now because I'm not, I'm not some high-end
• 1:55:34
  clients. You could turn me down.
• 1:55:36
  He goes, you know, it's fucked up.
• 1:55:37
  I was supporting you but now he goes, I don't think was, I'm no
• 1:55:40
  longer a fan. I don't support you anymore, so
• 1:55:42
  I was ago. Okay.
• 1:55:43
  I'm gonna respond back. This whole long thing about how
• 1:55:48
  just like and this is that person and this is the purses
• 1:55:52
  where people get lost with the social media and the DMS because
• 1:55:56
  because you didn't have a face-to-face conversation about
• 1:55:58
  it. Now he took it a certain way
• 1:55:59
  it's going a certain way. Yes.
• 1:56:01
  And you did not mean it that way, you even said, yes, I'm not
• 1:56:03
  trying to be me. Let's listen in this best of
• 1:56:06
  luck on your build. Yeah, sorry.
• 1:56:08
  Thank you for the interest in my work.
• 1:56:09
  I always say thank you for the interest of my work because
• 1:56:11
  thank you. You could be Anyone else?
• 1:56:14
  Yeah. But your contacting me.
• 1:56:15
  I appreciate that. Unfortunately, I don't want to
• 1:56:18
  invest into this. Yeah, it's all good.
• 1:56:20
  I only have a set amount of time, you know?
• 1:56:22
  It's really fucked up, man. It's you, you really lost a fan.
• 1:56:25
  It is what it is. I'm like, dude, why are you
• 1:56:28
  been? So what was your response or
• 1:56:30
  your next move? Went with something like that.
• 1:56:34
  I forgot what it was. It wants.
• 1:56:35
  It wants to want something along the lines of like because he
• 1:56:38
  said something like I was really a fan of you guys.
• 1:56:40
  I was like, first of all, you're a fan of me, not a team.
• 1:56:43
  Your fan of a man just me van that has 24 hours in one day.
• 1:56:47
  Yeah. When I stopped working on some
• 1:56:50
  on something and I start working on this.
• 1:56:52
  Only one thing is getting done at that time.
• 1:56:54
  Yeah. Meaning I need to be picky and
• 1:56:55
  choosy about what I do. I earned that luxury, I think at
• 1:56:59
  least, you know, to pick and choose what I want to put my
• 1:57:01
  time into. So it went something along those
• 1:57:04
  lines and went something like, you know, judging by how you
• 1:57:07
  responded. I'm happy I fucking turned away,
• 1:57:09
  but I was gonna say, look at this customer and what I see is
• 1:57:13
  Is that usually customers that are very really difficult at the
• 1:57:17
  start. They asked all this bullshit,
• 1:57:19
  all but God, how much just over? Oh, what's the day?
• 1:57:21
  How much time is it going to take one kind of drop it up.
• 1:57:23
  When can I come? Yeah, like bring it back.
• 1:57:25
  They're always the ones that never I mean if you if you come
• 1:57:28
  in the ones that always are the worst.
• 1:57:30
  Yeah. If you come in work into a shop
• 1:57:31
  with a project and the first thing you say is, so when do you
• 1:57:34
  think is going to be done? I'm turning you in the door.
• 1:57:36
  I have a firm rule. There's three there's a set of
• 1:57:42
  three questions that if Ask within those three questions.
• 1:57:45
  This is always I automatically. Turn it down.
• 1:57:47
  First one is price. I know it's fucked up but I
• 1:57:50
  don't give a price. Yeah, it's my hours.
• 1:57:52
  I don't know how long it's going to take know how long it's gonna
• 1:57:54
  take if you don't have the luxury to have an open Wallet,
• 1:57:57
  then don't come here. No problem.
• 1:57:58
  Go to someone else. Go to Joe's, Body Shop, whatever
• 1:58:00
  it is, you know. Yeah.
• 1:58:01
  So first one is price, second one is time, and then time as
• 1:58:06
  far as when can you get one could get in or out and then the
• 1:58:09
  third that doesn't. The third one is more along the
• 1:58:13
  lines. I love when it's, when I have
• 1:58:15
  the car. Mmm, leave me alone.
• 1:58:17
  Yeah, leave me alone. Dude, I don't message me in the
• 1:58:19
  morning. How's it going?
• 1:58:20
  What you do? What, what are you doing
• 1:58:22
  tomorrow? Would you do on the car?
• 1:58:24
  Now? What are you doing this?
• 1:58:25
  Like I don't want it. Listen, as much as you want your
• 1:58:29
  car out of here. I want your car out of here.
• 1:58:31
  Way. More than you do.
• 1:58:32
  Yeah. Way more than you do because
• 1:58:33
  it's sitting here is hurting me. So why would I, why would I want
• 1:58:36
  to hold your car here? It's funny.
• 1:58:37
  Like it doesn't make sense. Everything you're saying.
• 1:58:40
  I listen to a No One's Gonna really understand this but I
• 1:58:42
  listened to a podcast called the fast.
• 1:58:43
  Life garage or something like that and it's a motorcycle
• 1:58:46
  podcast and the guy that runs it is a painter.
• 1:58:51
  Everything you're saying is exactly what he saw is.
• 1:58:54
  So you're not the only one. I don't know if you good.
• 1:58:56
  Good? Yeah, I mean, I do sound like a
• 1:58:58
  psycho the time thing, the people contacting you over and
• 1:59:01
  over like, oh, is this, and he's very much like you.
• 1:59:03
  He is an artist. He's custom, you're an artist,
• 1:59:08
  but pretentious, but he's a fartist but it's the same shit.
• 1:59:14
  It's like, people always be 0. So 1 is this gonna Everything he
• 1:59:18
  says it's just it's bouncing back so it's funny.
• 1:59:20
  But like even the things where I'm glad it regulates the same
• 1:59:23
  and I don't feel like I'm no. No, it's exactly the same.
• 1:59:26
  Yeah. And he has the same Outlook
• 1:59:28
  isn't water? Oh, you're good.
• 1:59:29
  Yeah, I'm not sure if you see there, you go.
• 1:59:31
  First guest water right there. Yes, decoration or no.
• 1:59:35
  No, you're good. And then even like the things
• 1:59:38
  with like people reaching out via DN, like I want to kind of
• 1:59:41
  want things. I saw this car you did.
• 1:59:43
  So I want this to be the same way like and then you're
• 1:59:46
  probably right off the bat, you're really like That man.
• 1:59:49
  Like I can feel him out right from the start right from the
• 1:59:53
  start and sometimes it's just not it's just not worth it.
• 1:59:56
  So you're not trying to do the same thing to you hearing this,
• 2:00:00
  I'm the customer where the entire time I would ask if I'm
• 2:00:05
  doing something huge like that. I'd be a pain in the ass, here's
• 2:00:08
  why? Because the entire time is the
• 2:00:09
  thing, I have a vision that I'm doing and this is why.
• 2:00:13
  When I asked earlier, I was like, I guess I'm just going to
• 2:00:17
  fuck It and just do it. I'm gonna have to do it myself
• 2:00:19
  because then if it's if it's ugly and if it's all fucked up
• 2:00:22
  it's on me and only me. And the thing is, but artists
• 2:00:26
  painters. It's so low.
• 2:00:27
  They even, I mean, I'm gonna say artist sorry.
• 2:00:31
  But painters artists, tattoo artists and they want to do what
• 2:00:35
  they want to do. Yes.
• 2:00:36
  So when you try to tell them into something, which is what I
• 2:00:39
  would do to, I agree with you, which is why I don't tend to go
• 2:00:42
  to people like you for anything, cause I'm like, I don't want to
• 2:00:44
  fucking like I know it's I know how it's going to go, you know,
• 2:00:47
  they want to do it. Yes.
• 2:00:48
  Yes yeah. It's kind of like what?
• 2:00:50
  I exactly how you said like let's say a tattoo guy, right?
• 2:00:53
  When guys traditionally do tattoos I don't know the world.
• 2:00:56
  I'm just saying like but if a guy specializes in let's just
• 2:00:59
  say portraits, right? Yeah.
• 2:01:00
  You said, hey, I want, you know, I want a picture of a donkey or
• 2:01:03
  something. Like he does realistic
• 2:01:04
  portraits. That's what he does.
• 2:01:05
  You're going to him because he does realistic portraits, but
• 2:01:08
  not because you want a new age tattoo or something like that.
• 2:01:10
  This is what he's good at. Why would you want to bring him
• 2:01:13
  out of his box? He specializes in this.
• 2:01:15
  Let him do this. Why would you want him to step
• 2:01:17
  out of his comfort? Comfort area.
• 2:01:18
  Yeah, that's what he practiced for.
• 2:01:19
  That's what he invested his time into.
• 2:01:21
  That's exactly correct. Doesn't make sense.
• 2:01:23
  Yeah, because the tattoo I feel bad, I'm torn.
• 2:01:26
  I'm going to use all the time as an example, because like every
• 2:01:32
  time I've I've gone to get a tattoo, what twice?
• 2:01:36
  And every time I go in there I'm pretty much like yeah.
• 2:01:39
  If you think? Yeah, sure.
• 2:01:40
  Sure, sure, sure. So you're taking their feedback.
• 2:01:42
  Yeah. Because that's what they do.
• 2:01:44
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 2:01:44
  I have an idea of something that I want and then they'll show it
• 2:01:47
  to me. And they give me their
• 2:01:49
  Renditions. The reason I trust.
• 2:01:50
  I don't have any tattoos I trust there.
• 2:01:53
  I went to that person. Yeah, reason and I go to there
• 2:01:55
  for a reason so I'm a perfectionist.
• 2:01:57
  Yes. You have to let them do it.
• 2:02:00
  Yes. Yes.
• 2:02:00
  You have to let them do their thing.
• 2:02:02
  But what I think about what those guys is kind of like I
• 2:02:05
  tried to think about it in, in my craft is when I fuck up, I'm
• 2:02:09
  nightmare customer. I like, I'll just do it over one
• 2:02:12
  tattoo guys, learn the craft. Can you imagine how many people
• 2:02:16
  skin they fuck up and you know, I'm still on my learning curve,
• 2:02:19
  but the me if the paint, I'll send it down and do it over.
• 2:02:22
  You know, there's no do-over. Dude, this is crazy.
• 2:02:25
  It's funny though, because like, the way most of them learn is
• 2:02:27
  like, they'll tattoo their Mentor or like someone else in
• 2:02:30
  the shop. Yeah, after they move on from
• 2:02:32
  like, you know, fruits or whatever the fuck.
• 2:02:34
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't be like oranges.
• 2:02:41
  Yeah, so then they move on to their mentors and shit.
• 2:02:43
  Oh my God. Damn bro.
• 2:02:45
  It seen guys. Do their own?
• 2:02:46
  Yeah, or there. Don't I Yes, but because that's
• 2:02:49
  the place you could argue. Yeah, fastest.
• 2:02:51
  But what a hard craft? I know.
• 2:02:53
  You can just keep working on the same thing alike.
• 2:02:55
  And I have so much crippling guilt.
• 2:02:59
  If I have, if I do a bad job, like, let's just say, any job I
• 2:03:02
  do. I can't look at the job again.
• 2:03:04
  Like, if it leaves, if it's out of show, I can't look at, I'll
• 2:03:07
  walk right past, because you'll just pick a look at all.
• 2:03:09
  The imperfections kills me. Cripples me.
• 2:03:12
  And like, it sucks so much. So when I mess up something,
• 2:03:16
  it's temporary. It's not permanent.
• 2:03:18
  Yeah. What these guys are getting to
• 2:03:20
  be working in their craft and they mess up the guilt.
• 2:03:24
  I would have like, oh my God, just fun.
• 2:03:25
  Yeah, I skin. Oh my god, when he's 80 years
• 2:03:28
  old, he's still gonna have my fuck up on his arm.
• 2:03:30
  We gotta get a tattoo artist in here because I want to hear
• 2:03:32
  those stories. Like, if you get a tattoo artist
• 2:03:34
  in here, man, I'm about to be like, yo, tattoo me right now,
• 2:03:37
  put something on the podcast. I'd be dumb know.
• 2:03:39
  So when we were talking about tattoo is my thought went to
• 2:03:42
  like, if someone like my psycho, ask him in there for a tattoo.
• 2:03:45
  I'd be like, okay here, so I already Drew everything else.
• 2:03:48
  So yeah. So this is how it's gonna do
• 2:03:50
  not. Yeah, and that's why I have no
• 2:03:52
  tattoos because I'm not gonna put someone through that like,
• 2:03:55
  fuck that dude. That is a lot of cousins because
• 2:03:57
  then you do your yeah I got it and then you do it on my arm and
• 2:04:00
  I'm like, I kind of want to cut my arm off.
• 2:04:02
  Yeah, it's going home, like weighing the options.
• 2:04:07
  Do I need a left arm? Like, that's because my
• 2:04:10
  perfection is. Mine is fucking psycho.
• 2:04:12
  Yeah, it's so annoying. It would it would kill ya.
• 2:04:17
  I mean, I personally, I love the look of it.
• 2:04:21
  Oh, me too. Yeah, I love it.
• 2:04:22
  I think it looks but I love when.
• 2:04:24
  Yeah, it's not for me. Yeah, yeah.
• 2:04:27
  Yeah. It just looks so fucking cool.
• 2:04:29
  David anytime I see guys like full-on tattoos bad or holding a
• 2:04:34
  cigarette. This is this is all Miyagi.
• 2:04:37
  Wish I could smoke a cigarette. Is anything wrong?
• 2:04:49
  I agree. Anything you do and I'm straight
• 2:04:51
  us to sting you say, yeah I mean I don't smoke says yeah, I don't
• 2:04:55
  drink out of you know, but like smoking cigarettes.
• 2:04:59
  I just wish I had a fake cigarette that constantly like
• 2:05:03
  just jokes, right? And I could just like yeah you
• 2:05:05
  know, I'm thinking about doing this or think about it really
• 2:05:07
  does bigger than cool. Hold it.
• 2:05:10
  I want to hold it when I'm talking.
• 2:05:11
  Yeah, I was actually in the caisson when he's, that's what I
• 2:05:14
  thought. I said.
• 2:05:15
  Yes. Yes, was always He was always
• 2:05:18
  smoking. I always tell my friends that my
• 2:05:20
  eyes, my friends, that vape and stuff, I'm like, yeah, put that
• 2:05:22
  shit away and get a real cigarette.
• 2:05:24
  Yeah, kill yourself like a normal person.
• 2:05:26
  Yeah, that's Christmas. The cigarette thing.
• 2:05:33
  You know, how they smoke it and it's in their mouth and they
• 2:05:35
  stare able to use both hands. That is a special talents.
• 2:05:39
  Yes, because I mean I use their mouth and they talk and they
• 2:05:42
  talk with it. And that shit is not soaking
• 2:05:45
  sopping wet. No, no, it looks better for me.
• 2:05:48
  But I used to smoke cigarettes and I would have it and the
• 2:05:51
  moment that I'm fucking doing something, the smoke is blown
• 2:05:55
  into my I can blind and then and then I pull the cigarette out
• 2:05:59
  there. Shit is wet as fuck and because
• 2:06:02
  I don't you smoke. I used 20 cigarettes.
• 2:06:08
  Wow. And then that's amazing.
• 2:06:10
  And then like you quit I mean I'm on Ty smoked Vapes or mad
• 2:06:13
  long. I think that's way worse.
• 2:06:15
  Is it really? It's just because it's way.
• 2:06:17
  Easier, you have access to it. All the like, Chris will be
• 2:06:20
  smoking that thing, all day at work all day and like, and like,
• 2:06:24
  that's because it's so easy. So easy to hit before when you
• 2:06:27
  were in the office. Yeah.
• 2:06:28
  When you're in the office and you used to have a cigarette,
• 2:06:31
  which by the way, nobody fucking does I guess anymore.
• 2:06:34
  You would have to go outside, go to your spot, go to the smoking
• 2:06:38
  section, or whatever and they made a task and then they're
• 2:06:42
  there. You can have your relief.
• 2:06:44
  Yes like that you're like ah fuck.
• 2:06:47
  Yeah. Just know that photo of Ben
• 2:06:50
  Affleck outside the me. Now my favorite meme.
• 2:06:54
  Now you can just rip that shit wherever.
• 2:06:56
  Yeah. Like and and I don't know like
• 2:06:58
  it's a good man, that's not good.
• 2:07:00
  Like one of my favorite things was like, it was like you go for
• 2:07:03
  a ride, a motorcycle ride or you go for a drive and you get out
• 2:07:07
  and then you have a fucking cigarette.
• 2:07:08
  Yeah. Cigarettes were always like the
• 2:07:10
  thing you do after you. Like I don't want to accomplish
• 2:07:13
  but you do. So you go to went hand-in-hand.
• 2:07:15
  Do seem like fuck. My dad.
• 2:07:17
  Used to look so cool. Cool doing that shit.
• 2:07:18
  We would be driving through Bear Mountain.
• 2:07:20
  He gets out of the 9/11, my dad had a really old 911 when I was
• 2:07:23
  in college and stuff and it would get out, jean jacket,
• 2:07:30
  Converse, some sort of rock band, tattoo, Big Jay, Leno fan,
• 2:07:34
  pull out a cigarette and smoke a cigarette.
• 2:07:35
  Now, he's on a jewel, don't look as cool doing it.
• 2:07:37
  No, that definitely doesn't look as cool.
• 2:07:40
  It never does it. Yeah, I mean, just having that
• 2:07:43
  in your head, I don't know. It just adds.
• 2:07:44
  I wish I had like a cool Factor. Yeah.
• 2:07:47

• 2:08:03
  anybody else. Who works with whatevs.
• 2:08:05
  The only one your own us. Yes.
• 2:08:07
  Yes Anna. And and David he started working
• 2:08:11
  with me. The first year.
• 2:08:13
  Yeah, that I opened. And I just needed help.
• 2:08:15
  I just needed to go and he said he was doing.
• 2:08:17
  Some stuff he's coming up with somebody kids and all that
• 2:08:20

• 2:08:27
  car he said oh I don't want to do that.
• 2:08:28
  Do don't worry about it. So he cut my bumper right in
• 2:08:31
  half. The first day, your first days
• 2:08:33
  of please don't make me do this. Don't worry about, you got it.
• 2:08:35
  I love it. I just took a whole body saw
• 2:08:37
  blade. I remember when he got that job,
• 2:08:39
  I we were hanging out and he brought it up.
• 2:08:41
  He was so stoked dude. Oh yeah.
• 2:08:42
  Yeah man, it was cool. Yeah.
• 2:08:43
  I mean I he shot it was very evident that he liked It's
• 2:08:48
  coming into work and he said it many times, it's not like it was
• 2:08:52
  a liar. Whatever that's like his passion
• 2:08:54
  is, is just fiberglass in like building stuff like that.
• 2:08:57
  As far as passion is fiberglass, straight up like, well I mean
• 2:09:00
  that's that's exactly what he was like.
• 2:09:04
  I want that shit. I'm saying it now and it will
• 2:09:08
  happen. Dave is going to be big.
• 2:09:11
  Yeah I'll for sure. Yes yes I know it.
• 2:09:14
  I know it. I'm saying right now because
• 2:09:16
  just so I could have it out and put boy in the world, why not?
• 2:09:19
  Because I know I'm going to be right, he's gonna be big, he's
• 2:09:22
  gonna be knocking on on case door.
• 2:09:26
  I'm better than you look one, when he left coming for ya, one,
• 2:09:31
  all when he left with me I said one of the last things I was
• 2:09:36
  look In 10 years, I plan to be at the top.
• 2:09:42
  I hope to see you there. If not beating me you need to be
• 2:09:46
  better than me, be better than me.
• 2:09:49
  So he was like alright cool and like I know I didn't have to say
• 2:09:53
  it, he'll be there easy. That's awesome.
• 2:09:56
  Easy. Yeah.
• 2:09:57
  It's one of those rare things where he had a vision he saw the
• 2:09:59
  shit I remember when and he's not scared to do anything.
• 2:10:03
  Yeah, the well that's yeah, that's why I asked you just
• 2:10:07
  gotta Fuck it, I guess. Go do it.
• 2:10:08
  Fuck it but he had that vision for that kit and what he wanted
• 2:10:12
  to do with it and then and then should started getting made and
• 2:10:15
  being on cars and shit. And I'm like holy that's the
• 2:10:18
  hard part. The production is hardly.
• 2:10:19
  One has anyone could come up with ideas though?
• 2:10:23
  I said that. First, I came up with it first.
• 2:10:25
  Fuck you man. Who did it.
• 2:10:26
  Who actually did it. Yeah.
• 2:10:28
  You set it. Like it's one thing if he said
• 2:10:30
  he was going to do it and it's another to look.
• 2:10:33
  Now, this day, like, it's up for sale.
• 2:10:35
  People are buying his kits. You're seeing you down.
• 2:10:37
  Cars like to say it and to make it happen.
• 2:10:41
  That's off man. I think I read something once
• 2:10:44
  where the best trait you can you can work on is decreasing the
• 2:10:51
  time from Idea to execution. Mmm, that's the best thing you
• 2:10:56
  could work on is just minimizing that time in between because
• 2:10:59
  having ideas one thing and you people, wait, years years years?
• 2:11:02
  No, just just, if you can't wait for the, you can't wait for the
• 2:11:05
  perfect time. I like that time.
• 2:11:07
  You're never going to start. You just inspired me.
• 2:11:09
  Do it. Just do it because I'm the king
• 2:11:11
  of that of what just ideas, ideas ideas, I have ideas and
• 2:11:15
  I'll research research forever. No, screw the research man,
• 2:11:19
  ever. I'll plan it all out.
• 2:11:21
  I'll be like and then just kind of all it.
• 2:11:23
  It'll have another thing. And I'll fucking not think about
• 2:11:26
  that for a month. And I'll be like, oh yeah, we
• 2:11:27
  were gonna do that and then I'll come back to.
• 2:11:30
  And I'm like, dude, no did like once and idea hits.
• 2:11:34
  Like, I recently had this idea I wanted to paint this, can I want
• 2:11:37
  to make look like an iced tea, right?
• 2:11:39
  So, like I had the idea and within one week, it was done.
• 2:11:44
  Not because I wanted to bring it up because I couldn't live with
• 2:11:48
  myself saying. I have this idea.
• 2:11:49
  Why am I not doing anything about it?
• 2:11:51
  Wow, so I had to do it, so I Enter.
• 2:11:53
  This can and it looks like an Arizona thing and yeah, and it
• 2:11:59
  was it stupid. It didn't do anything.
• 2:12:01
  It was for me, it was for art. It was for whatever was but
• 2:12:04
  idea. Execution.
• 2:12:06
  Yeah, one week, one week good. Yes.
• 2:12:08
  And it's a someone else's. We do, you know, I got this idea
• 2:12:11
  for this, I'm going to make a wing, and then five years later,
• 2:12:14
  your, whatever happened with that Waco, you know, I'm still
• 2:12:16
  thinking about it, you know, actually what I gotta get, I
• 2:12:18
  gotta get on. It must be what I'm gonna do and
• 2:12:20
  I'm gonna do. I'm gonna do all the stuff.
• 2:12:22
  It's just There's anything I took away from this
• 2:12:24
  conversation. It was that.
• 2:12:26
  Well, that's a big one for me. Yeah.
• 2:12:28
  I need to, I need to do that. I think that's you're not bad at
• 2:12:32
  that Carl. When you come up with ideas, you
• 2:12:35
  kind of you gotta go for it. It's, I downplay ideas a lot
• 2:12:39
  because then one, the only problem Carlos, he's got 14
• 2:12:42
  billion ideas, you do pros and cons of like, each idea and
• 2:12:46
  like, not every not, they're not, they're not all, not all
• 2:12:48
  hits. Yeah, and then it's a bottle,
• 2:12:51
  some of them have a large. Obstacle and Mommy.
• 2:12:55
  That that at that point you have to wait, not man, okay, but that
• 2:12:59
  obstacle is good because that's why other people did already
• 2:13:01
  doing it. That's what if there was an
• 2:13:03
  obstacle you and all your boys would have the idea and they
• 2:13:06
  help you should. That is exactly circles are
• 2:13:08
  good. It keeps the losers away.
• 2:13:10
  It keeps the losers away. That's it.
• 2:13:13
  Everyone who's willing to go past the obstacle.
• 2:13:15
  They're winners, it winners. And I'm not trying to sound like
• 2:13:18
  this motivational lecture podcast over here, but fuck.
• 2:13:24
  People need to hear this shit. I'm not trying to sound like a
• 2:13:26
  pretentious thing over here. I'm know, you know?
• 2:13:28
  Hey, here's the unfortunately because we would cut you down if
• 2:13:31
  you sign it. Unfortunately, there were, there
• 2:13:33
  is a market. The market for a lot of people
• 2:13:36
  is how to make getting over that obstacle easier.
• 2:13:41
  Those are the people that make money, but I mean, like,
• 2:13:44
  example, like, okay wiring Specialties for a little while
• 2:13:48
  people were having to make their own harnesses and do that
• 2:13:50
  everything. Yo, forms are loaded with people
• 2:13:52
  like what it is. Announcer this.
• 2:13:53
  Yeah. Doing that shit, like floor in
• 2:13:55
  my room and then and then wiring Specialties were like, you know,
• 2:13:57
  how the fuck we gonna make this shit easier?
• 2:13:59
  Both niche in the market. They made it, they bridge that
• 2:14:02
  Gap and now and now everyone has.
• 2:14:04
  Yeah. And now that the now we won't do
• 2:14:06
  a swap without why are you supposed to be harnessed?
• 2:14:08
  Yep, there you go. Sometimes it doesn't even
• 2:14:11
  require a niche in the market. Sometimes it just requires
• 2:14:14
  something small. A good idea.
• 2:14:16
  Like yeah. For like for instance, an
• 2:14:18
  example, I don't want to sound like I'm shitting on the thing
• 2:14:20
  but I'm going to shit on it a little bit.
• 2:14:22
  Have you ever seen those mirror? Visor things.
• 2:14:25
  Yes I will for whatever. Yeah are.
• 2:14:27
  Oh my God, it's so cringe. It's so lame.
• 2:14:32
  And it's like they see through neon-colored is crazy because
• 2:14:35
  and like then they made these counters that come out to side
• 2:14:38
  canards whatever the fuck. Yeah.
• 2:14:40
  And so many people have them all of that color color.
• 2:14:43
  Yeah. But it works, it works cars,
• 2:14:51
  have it, there's some of those little mirror visors.
• 2:14:54
  And who am I to shit on something to eat?
• 2:14:56
  That's working. I think he sent me some of those
• 2:14:58
  ones for my car and I was like I was like I want to like, I want
• 2:15:03
  to like these. It's like, like I can t find the
• 2:15:06
  point. Yes.
• 2:15:07
  That's what it was very good idea.
• 2:15:09
  But yeah, then just everyone having it.
• 2:15:11
  Just put it over the edge. Yeah.
• 2:15:12
  And like it was cool like it's cool to see it but my mind, you
• 2:15:16
  know, the problem is with me, my mind always goes to.
• 2:15:19
  As much as I like to say, I like the exterior part of drifting
• 2:15:22
  and I don't, I like that more than the like I like the style
• 2:15:25
  more than the purpose or the mechanical stuff.
• 2:15:28
  My mind still goes to that point where it's like, what function
• 2:15:31
  does this have. Oh okay, yeah.
• 2:15:34
  But that's a hard conversation to have because what's the,
• 2:15:36
  what's the point of a lot of things in the bumper, like this
• 2:15:41
  high off the ground? What's the point of having?
• 2:15:43
  Because it looks quiet riffs low to the ground.
• 2:15:46
  That would be my reasoning for that looks cool.
• 2:15:49
  But that, but the little things I'm always like, okay, what's
• 2:15:51
  the, what's the point of this, this item.
• 2:15:54
  But what's the point of this? What's the point of anything?
• 2:15:56
  With what's the point of it? Of?
• 2:15:58
  There's no point to it at all. Essentially, I'm we're just
• 2:16:01
  because it's, it's cool. You could you could take a cool,
• 2:16:04
  you can figure the mirror, the mirror in general, I was gonna
• 2:16:07
  say like, why do you like, yeah, you're right.
• 2:16:08
  Yeah, like oh because they're fucking cool.
• 2:16:11
  Okay, cool. That's cool.
• 2:16:13
  That's the only explanation. You just don't like them.
• 2:16:18
  Figure out why? Yeah.
• 2:16:20
  Just don't like it. Yeah.
• 2:16:22
  Because it's like it's cool. It looks cool.
• 2:16:24
  It's almost like a rain guard for the mirror.
• 2:16:25
  You know. I mean like it.
• 2:16:27
  That's where my mind went was like, yes.
• 2:16:28
  Yes. Yeah, I I think it just it's
• 2:16:31
  another little accessory. Yeah.
• 2:16:33
  It says acoustic on the car. Yeah, I get it.
• 2:16:36
  Yeah I always thought it was props though.
• 2:16:39
  He made it work. I always thought it was.
• 2:16:40
  Cause you don't it. Yeah, good for him.
• 2:16:42
  In the 2000s. I feel like my when my parents
• 2:16:45
  were buying a car in like, literally, Year 2000.
• 2:16:49
  They made visors for fucking everything.
• 2:16:52
  Oh yeah. Any and every piece of glass,
• 2:16:55
  you can they made visors for the headlight, they made visors for
• 2:16:59
  the front, the bug, bug deflector, and then they have
• 2:17:02
  the wind the rain, once or the window.
• 2:17:04
  And I thought that I remembered that, that being the sunroof
• 2:17:07
  one. My car had a sunroof one but I
• 2:17:09
  remember seeing that on the mirror.
• 2:17:13
  Yeah, maybe, yeah, I like somebody else.
• 2:17:16
  Definitely a previous idea but I I think it wasn't an invention
• 2:17:21
  but rather Innovation because yeah, he just took something
• 2:17:24
  there made it. It could apply to these type of
• 2:17:27
  mirrors and he added that translucent looking.
• 2:17:30
  Yeah, the color when you hook a hook me up though is how many
• 2:17:33
  black ones he knows. Okay, there you go.
• 2:17:35
  Because I see these green and pink.
• 2:17:37
  It's yeah, yeah. Yeah.
• 2:17:38
  In the right application. I'll I understand the bright
• 2:17:41
  color thing I could. It's like it's like just
• 2:17:43
  fucking. I am not I'm not sold and look
• 2:17:46
  if anyone has another opinion please call in.
• 2:17:48
  In 100 toxins. So it's 8:30 right now.
• 2:17:55
  I'm realizing we could do this for another 14 hours.
• 2:17:57
  So I'm going to ask you some stuff that I wanted to ask you.
• 2:18:00
  The first thing is about that. GTR wagon.
• 2:18:05
  We gotta talk about that. Yeah, the Speedwagon's I'm just
• 2:18:09
  cracking up because of the body filler because I'm over here.
• 2:18:12
  I'm like, yeah. And I would have did you guys
• 2:18:15
  got to check this? First off, ok.
• 2:18:20
  The build is very big yes, but the part that's killing me.
• 2:18:24
  The most it's killing me. Yeah, is all these fucking
• 2:18:28
  people saying, why didn't you just get a stage here?
• 2:18:32
  Why don't you just get a stage here?
• 2:18:34
  You should just got Anastasia. Oh, my god.
• 2:18:37
  Look, I it's that's the whole reason.
• 2:18:40
  It's a GTR wagon. If I wanted a stage or what he
• 2:18:43
  wanted to stage of the client, we would have gotten a stage,
• 2:18:46
  you or Stan or Stage here we call this Asia's that Gia.
• 2:18:51
  Yeah, we got everything. Well, whatever.
• 2:18:52
  We're here, we're saying at the way we stay still let people
• 2:18:55
  just get the fucking stage you and I firmly believe these.
• 2:18:59
  People are saying that just because they want to show off
• 2:19:01
  the fact that they know what is he a fucking loser?
• 2:19:05
  You fuck it gets me so mad because they just get a stage.
• 2:19:08
  It has the same engine trans. Okay.
• 2:19:10
  But what makes it cool is it's not a GTR Wagon at the end of
• 2:19:14
  the fact that they people are following you and they don't
• 2:19:16
  realize that you do unique things.
• 2:19:18
  Ridiculous and want to Left Hand Drive.
• 2:19:21
  Makes it clear? Is the VIN?
• 2:19:23
  Be CNR? It's a GTR.
• 2:19:25
  Well, it's so real GTR. So that's what makes it.
• 2:19:28
  Cool. So you're ripping this thing
• 2:19:30
  apart. First of all.
• 2:19:31
  Why are you ripping it apart? What was the clients?
• 2:19:33
  Yeah, it was, it was bad. So so, so my clients, which is
• 2:19:40
  inbound inbound, Motorsports to have insane, insane cars, and
• 2:19:46
  inventory. I started diving in, definitely
• 2:19:47
  check them out. Yeah.
• 2:19:48
  Yeah, yeah, that's a wild stuff. So he reached out he's like,
• 2:19:53
  dude, I bought this car. Yeah.
• 2:19:55
  And I want you to do it. I'm going.
• 2:19:56
  Okay. He's like he's like come check
• 2:19:57
  it out. All right, cool.
• 2:19:58
  So I go to his Warehouse, jaw-dropping, the cars and their
• 2:20:02
  jaw dropping. I could sit here and go through
• 2:20:04
  every car so I whatever. And so I get there.
• 2:20:06
  I'm like, holy shit. I know this car.
• 2:20:09
  This is crazy. The one-off wagon.
• 2:20:11
  Like, I know this card to Speedwagon, I read articles, I
• 2:20:13
  saw pictures, whatever it is. This is the car.
• 2:20:16
  So he bought it on the auctions and Then he's like he's like,
• 2:20:20
  let's do it over because when I'm looking at it, everything's
• 2:20:23
  cracking. Okay.
• 2:20:24
  Well, everything's crack. All the body fillers cracking
• 2:20:27
  and more than anything else. Is just the rear section, where
• 2:20:29
  they did all the welding work. So we can't just go over that.
• 2:20:34
  Well, we can't just patch it up. You need to bring it down to the
• 2:20:36
  foundation of the full restoration, ocean floor.
• 2:20:39
  Yeah, so getting down. We could see what kind of
• 2:20:42
  problems were going to have and how we're going to.
• 2:20:45
  We're going to address it and move forward.
• 2:20:47
  So I had to get down. Because there was just too many
• 2:20:49
  cracks, so are you ever nervous before you like start?
• 2:20:53
  Yeah, cut it into a car especially when love of that.
• 2:20:56
  Yes. Yes, biker, it makes me a little
• 2:21:01
  nervous but nothing else. In life makes me feel that way
• 2:21:06
  so makes me feel alive. I never never say anything.
• 2:21:08
  Like nothing makes me scared but that so when I get started even
• 2:21:12
  though it's a fear, it feels good because it's like, okay,
• 2:21:14
  there's no, there's no one of one that's it.
• 2:21:16
  Yeah. Like like the post blew up so
• 2:21:19
  much that the original Builder reached out to me.
• 2:21:22
  Whoa. Can he built the car back in 95
• 2:21:25
  or 96? He found me right there.
• 2:21:27
  So, we're doing we're doing this.
• 2:21:31
  We're using the Google Translator.
• 2:21:34
  Yes, so we're going back and forth and I'm asking of all
• 2:21:38
  these questions. And I said, dude, what's the
• 2:21:40
  glass from like? Yeah, because we had to put the
• 2:21:43
  glass and we're like, oh, if this breaks what are we going to
• 2:21:45
  use it from on do? So he's like, that's not from a
• 2:21:47
  car that's one off like we, we blew the glass like a glass
• 2:21:51
  person made the glass that whole side glass.
• 2:21:53
  That's one off glass the, the whole rear glass on the hatch.
• 2:21:57
  That's from a Land Cruiser. And then I ask them what to do,
• 2:22:02
  what you get the roof from. Did you cut card?
• 2:22:05
  You care? Because everyone's like, oh they
• 2:22:06
  thought it was from a Nissan Pulsar.
• 2:22:08
  It's got the sunroof. Yeah, Evo, Evo way.
• 2:22:11
  They thought everyone had all these ideas.
• 2:22:13
  They thought it was a. They thought it was a mark to
• 2:22:15
  blit because of the wagon and the whole shape.
• 2:22:18
  So I'm I can't find a shape. I'm looking.
• 2:22:21
  I'm looking so me and inbound me and Rami.
• 2:22:24
  We can't figure it out. Yeah.
• 2:22:25
  So finally the guy reached out to me.
• 2:22:27
  I'm a dude. Let me ask you.
• 2:22:28
  Yeah. What card you use.
• 2:22:31
  So he was like, okay he goes, hold on I go.
• 2:22:33
  Okay. He sends me a picture of the car
• 2:22:36
  when they bought it 20 years ago, right?
• 2:22:38
  Before they chopped it up in a million years.
• 2:22:41
  You would never guess what car it fucking came off.
• 2:22:43
  Is it a hold on? Cb7 Honda Accord, it's a Honda
• 2:22:48
  do okay. Oh shit.
• 2:22:50
  Okay cord. Coupe wagon, never going to get
• 2:22:56
  fuck. The car was never made here.
• 2:22:58
  Okay, if that makes everything. So I'll just as this public
• 2:23:01
  knowledge. Yes, yes, yes, yes.
• 2:23:03
  Yeah. So, um, it's from a Honda Today.
• 2:23:15
  Today, Honda today. Yes.
• 2:23:18
  And what is this? Like I said, Dan, it's a small
• 2:23:20
  little cake are looking Honda thing.
• 2:23:22
  Yes, like the Honda today turbo? Yes, it's a weird looking car,
• 2:23:27
  okay? And they cut it off of that and
• 2:23:30
  they made all the pieces meet and they welded everything up.
• 2:23:35
  So seeing after taking everything off, I'm seeing all
• 2:23:39
  the weld marks and every yeah, and yeah, it's so it's bad.
• 2:23:42
  It's all rotting away. So, So I see you taken the Bondo
• 2:23:46
  off and everything and then you find the real car under blows
• 2:23:49
  yeah. Oh yeah.
• 2:23:50
  So I guessed how much body filler they have to do to make
• 2:23:54
  it. I mean, I saw that want your one
• 2:23:55
  post. I don't know if you did it
• 2:23:56
  today, but it was recent and you said they actually shaped that
• 2:24:00
  whole roof? Yes, yes, yes, the whole roof
• 2:24:02
  was shape. It wasn't everything wasn't
• 2:24:05
  Bondo or body filler as it is but it was they used a lot of
• 2:24:10
  short strand fiberglass which is kind of Build It Up.
• 2:24:12
  Yes. It's kind of like filler Sure
• 2:24:14
  it's mixed in the same way but it's waterproof, it's a little
• 2:24:17
  stronger. It's little bit more resilient.
• 2:24:19
  So they use that some of the say it's good, but they should have,
• 2:24:23
  they could have made the shape out of metal or, or something
• 2:24:26
  else anything else because it's just too much built up shit.
• 2:24:29
  Yeah. Like the shape of the rear
• 2:24:31
  quarter was so off because it's like, the whole line was off and
• 2:24:35
  the way they had to make everything was just way off so
• 2:24:38
  much to the point that the original thing that they welded
• 2:24:41
  on had no purpose because they reshaped know, I was thinking it
• 2:24:45
  was just the bottom foundation and then they shaped everything.
• 2:24:48
  Yeah, so because of that my original plan was just to redo
• 2:24:53
  the metal but yeah. No, no.
• 2:24:55
  The whole plan is throat is just thrown out the window.
• 2:24:57
  And it's so much bigger now. Yeah.
• 2:24:58
  Because I want the shape there without using all that filler.
• 2:25:02
  So you're now your plan is basically you're going to remove
• 2:25:05
  what they did. I'm gonna I'm going to, I
• 2:25:07
  removed everything already. And my original plan was to cut
• 2:25:10
  like cut the bad sections of the metal and just fix it, fix it.
• 2:25:14
  Cutting all the exterior metal out, okay?
• 2:25:17
  Right, before I cut it out, I'm going to shape everything first
• 2:25:19
  out of foam. All my might use clay, might use
• 2:25:22
  whatever, get the shape going, make a plug transfer to
• 2:25:26
  fiberglass. So be like a big skin and a big
• 2:25:29
  fiberglass skin over and that's going to be the original shape,
• 2:25:32
  but with no weights, it is going to be.
• 2:25:34
  So you're not going to use metal underneath?
• 2:25:36
  No. No.
• 2:25:36
  It's gonna be fine. Oh, yeah.
• 2:25:37
  Because it's just, it's just too much work.
• 2:25:39
  The metals already shot. So, I think it's kind of, its
• 2:25:43
  kind of going to going to be like, You ever see those trucks
• 2:25:45
  with those big cabs? Yeah.
• 2:25:47
  Have like the fiberglass? Yeah, like hell.
• 2:25:48
  And like the whole tonneau covers fiber lashes.
• 2:25:50
  So yeah. It's gonna be like, it's going
• 2:25:52
  to be fiberglass, but it's going to be solid obviously, and not
• 2:25:55
  as heavy because the car was built for a speed challenge, it
• 2:25:58
  was built by the guy who owns option to and it was built to go
• 2:26:02
  300 and it never made it and there's videos of it on YouTube
• 2:26:07
  on the track, but it never made it in my hunch is that it's just
• 2:26:10
  too heavy. It's, it was too heavy.
• 2:26:12
  They made a Speedwagon's, I just Fuckin 200 pounds of Bondo do
• 2:26:16
  like get to see. Like when I scrape everything
• 2:26:17
  off and I put it inside the garbage, pail to Garbage, Pail
• 2:26:20
  was Heavy. It was insane.
• 2:26:23
  And at the way was falling off, that's my front bumper and it's
• 2:26:25
  great 20 pounds of Bondo on it cuz I just rebuild it.
• 2:26:29
  Everybody can what a bumper is better than having the whole
• 2:26:32
  car. Yeah, that's crazy.
• 2:26:34
  So it's it's very much it is long-term and he he has no
• 2:26:40
  issues with wanting to do the car over because it is a very
• 2:26:44
  important Portent car. Yeah, and it's a one of one car.
• 2:26:46
  The car is built for a video game actually and she wants to
• 2:26:50
  do it. So that's a really interesting
• 2:26:52
  project. Yeah.
• 2:26:53
  So it's wild because there was I had the car outside for a little
• 2:26:57
  while because I push it outside. I was doing some work and some
• 2:27:00
  guy was passing by. He was like And he do, he rang
• 2:27:03
  the bell, he's like, what the fuck is this?
• 2:27:06
  He goes. I know, cars.
• 2:27:08
  I do 33 is I know ours and all over it.
• 2:27:11
  That's why I can't hear. What is same thing on the guild
• 2:27:14
  actually? Yes, it's a one of one wagon.
• 2:27:16
  Yeah. He's yeah, holy shit.
• 2:27:17
  So for people who know what it is and for people that do come
• 2:27:21
  in, they go. What is this other?
• 2:27:22
  Yes, that's a one of one. It's wagon.
• 2:27:23
  Yeah and and the trunk is cool to like it actually functions
• 2:27:27
  that actually opens up and everything they they put for
• 2:27:30
  bucket seats. Oh wow.
• 2:27:32
  Side because the roof line goes straight now.
• 2:27:34
  Yeah. So they're able to actually put.
• 2:27:35
  It does remind me of the evil like you were saying the, the
• 2:27:38
  evil wagon? Yeah.
• 2:27:39
  Yes. Yeah, because it has a very
• 2:27:40
  straight back, but but if you take, that's too big, that's
• 2:27:44
  that's too big. Yeah.
• 2:27:45
  Is after seeing the Honda today and then thinking about how big
• 2:27:48
  an r33 is, you don't want an actual wagon booty on that
• 2:27:52
  because that is the wagon like an actual wagon.
• 2:27:55
  Like, like I'm thinking of an Accord Wagon right away because
• 2:27:58
  it's like a little round, it's a little round and anybody, if you
• 2:28:01
  chop that off, It's going to literally cover the body line of
• 2:28:05
  an R 33. Yes.
• 2:28:06
  Yes. It's not going to have the
• 2:28:07
  curves the props, the three, the do that thought this?
• 2:28:09
  Yeah. Like yeah, I had to think that a
• 2:28:13
  Honda today, is small enough where, with why's it won't ruin
• 2:28:18
  the shape of. And I won't take away from the
• 2:28:20
  r33. But man, that's fucking awesome.
• 2:28:21
  I mean, the work wasn't that great?
• 2:28:24
  Yes. As expected, I mean, for anyone
• 2:28:26
  who knows imported cars, the quality of work is not that
• 2:28:29
  great, but that's not what they're known for is the quality
• 2:28:31
  of work is to society. And ideas the idea.
• 2:28:34
  Yeah, exactly. So sure, was it done, right?
• 2:28:35
  But it was meant to be a temporary build for a temporary
• 2:28:39
  time. Yeah.
• 2:28:39
  It wasn't they didn't think 20 years from now we're going to
• 2:28:43
  get this and maybe some idiot in Maplewood, chipping off all the
• 2:28:47
  freaking body filler. You know, you also Tech, you
• 2:28:50
  know, not technology but like, you know, knowledge and stuff
• 2:28:53
  and what was right? And what was wrong like that
• 2:28:55
  back, then more? It was like, yo, let's let's get
• 2:28:58
  this. Yeah, shit.
• 2:28:58
  Yeah, fuck it, let's do. It was very old school to.
• 2:29:01
  Yes, that's true. They're there.
• 2:29:02
  Nice were different than might have not had the resources.
• 2:29:05
  I mean, in Japan, in general. I feel like a lot of those shops
• 2:29:07
  are kind of just the tools. They have the way they're doing
• 2:29:10
  things is so like, to compare to the shops or in the United
• 2:29:14
  States, it's like fucking ancient.
• 2:29:16
  Yes, I'm seeing guys, they're they're freaking working with
• 2:29:19
  like Crocs of flip-flops and shit and like you got these old
• 2:29:23
  ladies. Bullshit tool.
• 2:29:24
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 2:29:26
  I heard people actually disgusting people.
• 2:29:28
  Yeah, that's yeah. That's like personally
• 2:29:31
  firsthand. I'm like Dude, this is like your
• 2:29:33
  cat would know over here, but they look so cool but I don't
• 2:29:38
  want it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 2:29:41
  Like the Shops look so cool once.
• 2:29:42
  Yes. But I don't want that.
• 2:29:43
  Yes, yes. Yes, exactly.
• 2:29:44
  It looks cool. Yeah you can have it.
• 2:29:46
  Yeah. Like they'll have shelves just
• 2:29:48
  in the middle of the shop because the yeah yeah yeah.
• 2:29:51
  Which I mean people have compared this shot to a Japanese
• 2:29:54
  style shopping. They're not saying it in that
• 2:29:56
  way. I know what they're getting at
• 2:29:57
  because of the size and everything.
• 2:29:59
  Terrific cars and everything. Yeah but yours is a lot more
• 2:30:02
  open. Clean open.
• 2:30:03
  Yeah you can actually fit many cars in here as a yes then 51 or
• 2:30:07
  to see super tight and shelves. Everywhere stuff.
• 2:30:09
  Stacked took a very condensed placed.
• 2:30:12
  Yeah, unless you're like going like far out and then then they
• 2:30:15
  have a barn. Yeah.
• 2:30:17
  Yes, yes. There's even shops out there
• 2:30:18
  that they have a lift outside with just a steel.
• 2:30:21
  Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
• 2:30:23
  There was one at Nissan Hackensack.
• 2:30:25
  Do you remember that? What they were?
• 2:30:27
  They had a lift outside. I was like, where the fuck are
• 2:30:29
  we? We're not in California.
• 2:30:30
  Edward, I fuck with it. I would Take
• 2:30:54
  another build. You're doing.
• 2:30:56
  Currently was a I think was a Veilside RX7.
• 2:30:59
  Oh yeah, yeah. And I was watching one of those
• 2:31:01
  videos today and I know Is something pretty awesome that we
• 2:31:05
  could relate to you're doing work some.
• 2:31:09
  So someone already built this car, put the Veilside kit on it.
• 2:31:11
  Yeah. And you went under the over
• 2:31:14
  Fender and you notice that they didn't really see.
• 2:31:16
  Lit it up. Yeah.
• 2:31:18
  So they just cut it in there, it's cut.
• 2:31:20
  It's just open. And I mean, open that was bad,
• 2:31:22
  right? But that was one of the reasons
• 2:31:24
  why he wanted to kind of come in and do it then.
• 2:31:26
  As we started going in the car, we're just going through the
• 2:31:28
  whole car over and you just pick something which fixing things in
• 2:31:31
  a paint, the whole car over everything like that.
• 2:31:32
  That. But um, while I'm taking apart
• 2:31:37
  yesterday, I'm taking apart the right side on the door.
• 2:31:41
  There's like a top door panel that I took off.
• 2:31:43
  Oh, I saw that too. Yes, yes, I'll take a look, the
• 2:31:45
  whole panel because on the door, she wins, it's a door skin.
• 2:31:48
  Yeah. It's kind of like this doors.
• 2:31:49
  Conduct goes on top and every time I open every time the door
• 2:31:51
  would open, it was hit it would bind.
• 2:31:53
  So the person who did it, did it online it, right?
• 2:31:55
  And they use double-sided tape, which is ridiculous.
• 2:31:57
  Yeah, so while it took that off, I took off the side skirts to
• 2:32:01
  the Skirts, we're not even bolted to the car.
• 2:32:05
  They were just hanging there. Yeah.
• 2:32:07
  It was a lot like a drift car. There was no just hanging there
• 2:32:09
  and then I take that off the whole quarter isn't mounted on.
• 2:32:14
  It's just hanging there, it's just hanging there.
• 2:32:17
  This is a thirty thousand dollar kit.
• 2:32:20
  It's hanging like my God, like they just sit in the corner.
• 2:32:23
  They slid around the closing, they bolted everything up.
• 2:32:25
  It's not mounted on. Every, literally, like, hanging
• 2:32:27
  off the car. This is like when Abu Moon came
• 2:32:29
  the states and I'm like, oh, how do you have your size great
• 2:32:31
  mountain and he just opens both do.
• 2:32:32
  And it falls off. Yeah, I was like, that's what's
• 2:32:35
  up? That's real easy to take off.
• 2:32:38
  Except this is a fucking Veilside body can like, it's
• 2:32:41
  real. Like, obviously I'm looking at
• 2:32:42
  all the tags and everything that's real, but it's just, it's
• 2:32:46
  a shame that somebody rushed it and just could have done a lot
• 2:32:49
  better. Like, even the back when they
• 2:32:51
  cause the back hatch is a fiberglass hatch.
• 2:32:53
  And the glass they used is styled after split window so
• 2:32:57
  it's two pieces of glass and they used lexan instead of Polly
• 2:33:03
  and they couldn't get the shape. Right?
• 2:33:06
  So they just screwed in the glass, it's cracked the hatches
• 2:33:09
  out like they just hacked up a bunch of stuff on their car for
• 2:33:13
  what it is and what it could be. Well that's why I'm doing it.
• 2:33:16
  Yeah just get it to the next to get it to the next level.
• 2:33:19
  But yeah. So his so if a car came like
• 2:33:21
  that in here with let's say the through over fenders on it we're
• 2:33:24
  talking totally different drift cars.
• 2:33:26
  Yeah throwing over fenders on it and we go under there and it's
• 2:33:28
  cut and it's open we take that we would take it off and maybe a
• 2:33:31
  look first of all. I hope you got your pocketbook
• 2:33:33
  ready because we're going to seal this up and depending on
• 2:33:36
  how much you cut out already. It's going to get especially
• 2:33:39
  exactly. So and then what we would just
• 2:33:42
  see what we would weld it. Shut maybe if we have to put a
• 2:33:44
  piece of metal in there, well, to show that whatever grind it
• 2:33:46
  make it look, okay, paint it, throw the over under on this
• 2:33:49
  guy, came up with a whole other Hollow the way to do it.
• 2:33:52
  That was just me being stubborn though.
• 2:33:53
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 2:33:54
  You made a filler for it. A panel, essentially bring up
• 2:33:58
  the cattle. Yeah, very interesting thing.
• 2:34:01
  Interesting way to do. Mana.
• 2:34:03
  I have to say it was I was what even when I was watching it, I
• 2:34:06
  was like, this ain't gonna fucking were.
• 2:34:08
  Nah, I'm like this ain't gonna work and then like halfway
• 2:34:11
  through it you convinced me and I was like that's just pretty
• 2:34:14
  good man. Even like a little, there's a
• 2:34:16
  little tab that you made, and I'm going to call it a tab.
• 2:34:19
  But there's a little bit early khattab right where it lined up
• 2:34:23
  in there and I was like, yeah, the weight just Falls in.
• 2:34:26
  Yeah, it's I loved. I was like, yeah.
• 2:34:30
  Now, are you going to mount the other end of it to the The
• 2:34:32
  quarter. Yes.
• 2:34:33
  So the whole idea was I wanted to make that piece go farther
• 2:34:38
  than the quarter and go into the wheel side over fell.
• 2:34:41
  Yeah, so I wanted that to kind of touch and the idea was I said
• 2:34:45
  in the video was obvious, I could have welded a piece in
• 2:34:47
  there but whatever. So I had this idea where I'm
• 2:34:49
  like, okay what if what if Veilside offered us with their
• 2:34:53
  Yaga fiberglass panel? So you just close this and then
• 2:34:56
  you put this, you cut this and this fits and that's it.
• 2:34:59
  It's good. And obviously I'm going to seal
• 2:35:00
  it afterwards. Just Prime now.
• 2:35:02
  Yeah. But That was the idea and I kind
• 2:35:05
  of wanted to make it a separate pan.
• 2:35:07
  I don't know why I had it like because when he when he
• 2:35:09
  approached me with it was just the first thing that hit and it
• 2:35:12
  was like it was like the long way around.
• 2:35:14
  Yeah. But how's it gonna?
• 2:35:16
  Whatever very unique. I like I want to hold this
• 2:35:20
  panel. Yeah.
• 2:35:21
  So he liked it, he put hrivnas right?
• 2:35:24
  Is that yes, yes, but rib nuts in the metal that way.
• 2:35:26
  When he put the panel up, it'll bolt bolt right up and I made
• 2:35:30
  the original piece out of metal first just like Get the basic
• 2:35:33
  shape. Yeah, I don't want to leave it
• 2:35:34
  in steel because it's going to be exposed to elements whatever
• 2:35:37
  is essentially rust plus Weight Wise.
• 2:35:39
  Plus, I just want to match the theme of fiberglass fabric of
• 2:35:42
  the car. Yeah, just so I made out of
• 2:35:45
  metal first and I transferred it over.
• 2:35:47
  But Yahweh is like a pound and it just bolt.
• 2:35:49
  Yeah, it up to me. I want to like dummy proof.
• 2:35:51
  No, aligning screw tight. That's it, walking up.
• 2:35:54
  Yeah, to me, I see a function there because One thing I hate
• 2:35:59
  when you're the way that over fenders on the S chassis or any
• 2:36:02
  drift car for that matter. Is that when people do that and
• 2:36:04
  they don't have, for example, that little panel that you got
• 2:36:07
  in there, dirt shit. Yeah.
• 2:36:09
  Eyes in there dude. And then you'll never see when
• 2:36:10
  they take off a panel and it looks like my dog's shit.
• 2:36:14
  Like if you go up to my Fender and people say I did mine pretty
• 2:36:17
  good. That's what they say.
• 2:36:18
  Even though it's really not, it's rivets holding it on but
• 2:36:21
  for some reason you know what it is, most people in the
• 2:36:24
  community, they don't they don't take any time, so Took a little
• 2:36:28
  time. Yes.
• 2:36:29
  The rivets are painted. You can't really tell right.
• 2:36:31
  I pulled a guest or out and matched it to a nice like that.
• 2:36:35
  Anyway, so so you would say minor.
• 2:36:37
  Okay. Do you go up to the panel?
• 2:36:38
  After you do like one lap, if you hit it rocks, just start
• 2:36:41
  falling out, do and then there's rocks in between in between the
• 2:36:45
  metal and the fiberglass, can almost see it.
• 2:36:48
  Like pushing it out. So, I was always thinking, like,
• 2:36:50
  oh, how can I like make a panel in here and you probaby
• 2:36:53
  basically basically like yes, yes, exactly.
• 2:36:55
  Like that. Kind of like a liner?
• 2:36:56
  Yes, kind of made like a liner. Yeah.
• 2:36:58
  So it's a great idea. Yeah, I wish you could make it
• 2:37:00
  like a universal thing, but it's pretty much the best eggs and
• 2:37:02
  because like, in right after I was done, obviously I broke the
• 2:37:06
  mold and I threw it in the garbage.
• 2:37:07
  Yeah, well, whatever it is. It is not that another car going
• 2:37:10
  to come in like that. Yeah, but one of one made the
• 2:37:13
  piece that's it. Yeah, I gotta figure something
• 2:37:15
  like that out. So, just again, back to think it
• 2:37:17
  was just, I don't know why. I had the idea to make it that,
• 2:37:20
  you know, how ghetto I got with my car when that was going on.
• 2:37:23
  So, you take some duct tape, right?
• 2:37:26
  You roll it, in a reverse circle, you shove it in between.
• 2:37:31
  So, here's the wheel. Well it was a front of the car.
• 2:37:34
  You just put it right here so the rock stop going there.
• 2:37:39
  There you go. Yeah.
• 2:37:40
  But then you see the duck. Duck tape fly out while you
• 2:37:42
  drift and I'm already thinking in my head I'm like, what other
• 2:37:44
  material can I use for that? And then, I know.
• 2:37:46
  Right? Like guys home Is door panels
• 2:37:53
  like a sheet of ABS plastic, that shit when Amazon flexible.
• 2:37:57
  I would cut it up, put it in there, find a way to mount it.
• 2:37:59
  Yeah. Sliminess Jimmy's like shown us
• 2:38:02
  to shop and I'm just sitting in the car like, no, but where did
• 2:38:04
  you get this plastic from? He's like, yeah, but this car
• 2:38:07
  over here. I'm like, no, no, no that.
• 2:38:08
  But we're what's the link? Where did you get that kind of
• 2:38:11
  interaction and even right now, like the whole clay thing in an
• 2:38:14
  earlier, you mentioned how you you can on a grand scale, you
• 2:38:17
  use foam and then shape that down and then you can move to
• 2:38:19
  Clay. I'm over here like scheming
• 2:38:22
  right, I gotta go. Yeah that yeah I just get the
• 2:38:24
  regular expandable foam. A just freaking sprayed on my
• 2:38:26
  bumpers trash. I got I want to fuck around and
• 2:38:29
  see if like I can easy for somebody to go.
• 2:38:33
  Like yeah. You could just make that you
• 2:38:34
  should start. I'm telling you just don't think
• 2:38:36
  about. Yeah, don't just don't think
• 2:38:38
  about it. I have an idea.
• 2:38:39
  What I wanted to make it look like fuck.
• 2:38:41
  I'm gonna when it gets when the weather gets a little, I work
• 2:38:43
  outside. I don't really have.
• 2:38:45
  I worked outside five years and and yeah, that's it for me.
• 2:38:53
  I can probably fucking try. You could do it just to do it
• 2:38:55
  better. I'm going up.
• 2:38:57
  I've when I when I get the part when I get the product, we'll
• 2:39:00
  run into each other. Please get out.
• 2:39:06
  I'm going through my little nose here.
• 2:39:07
  I think we pretty much covered everything but I guess we had
• 2:39:09
  questions on the Yeah. We're definitely gonna do that
• 2:39:11
  too. Yeah that's why I'm just trying
• 2:39:13
  to get through this because I know we got we probably have a
• 2:39:15
  shit ton of questions so it's a watch it's going to be like I'm
• 2:39:20
  go then this time I'm bit this time.
• 2:39:22
  I'm so Hi, I'm savoring through. I'm not reading all of them.
• 2:39:25
  All right, because it's getting ridiculous.
• 2:39:26
  Now, I can imagine some of it. Yeah, now it's getting
• 2:39:29
  ridiculous. But, wait, wait, you have any
• 2:39:31
  goals for 2020? 30?
• 2:39:32
  Good question. Goals for 23.
• 2:39:36
  Yeah, make it to 24 or is it pretty much just an endless
• 2:39:40
  struggle? Like I'm just gonna I just got
• 2:39:41
  to get better. Just keep it.
• 2:39:43
  No no I mean yes I mean to get better is obvious.
• 2:39:47
  Yeah, sure because that's why I'm doing this.
• 2:39:50
  I hope to get better. I don't want to stay the same.
• 2:39:52
  I want to Good at what I do. But the goal for 23 is to maybe
• 2:39:56
  just be a little happier because I'm this workers keeping me so
• 2:40:01
  crazy that. Yeah, I want to be able to not
• 2:40:04
  make it so important to the point where I could still chill
• 2:40:07
  and relax and it not consume my whole life.
• 2:40:10
  I was gonna say is there like an end goal for you as far as your
• 2:40:13
  career like what you want to what you want to say?
• 2:40:15
  Yes I know. I don't really think too long
• 2:40:17
  term because it's worked thus far of me, winging it.
• 2:40:20
  Yeah, I'm gonna think ha ha. Thank you.
• 2:40:23
  I like that. I like that the way to where I
• 2:40:30
  am right now, if I plan this ten years ago, it wouldn't, it would
• 2:40:33
  have never worked out this way. And it might have altered me
• 2:40:36
  because it's all I want to do it this way.
• 2:40:37
  So fuck this guy. Yeah.
• 2:40:38
  So I just let it ride that's why I'm at a point right now where
• 2:40:42
  I'm still on the younger side and I have a lot of things to
• 2:40:45
  see and and shit that I want to do but something that I for some
• 2:40:50
  reason I feel like you would appreciate is if If I was you
• 2:40:54
  and I made all of and I my resume our cars, our cars that
• 2:40:58
  you can be proud of which is some also, something to be
• 2:41:01
  admirable of is that down the line when you're old as fuck and
• 2:41:05
  you look back and you're like yep that was pretty fucking
• 2:41:09
  cool. That's that that would be an end
• 2:41:11
  goal for me and that's and yes. Okay I would say that is a good
• 2:41:14
  end goal because the because the legacy is everything.
• 2:41:17
  Yeah. Like I don't want to get fucking
• 2:41:20
  dark or some shit. But when I that's fine.
• 2:41:22
  Frankie's. That's my lucky.
• 2:41:24
  Like, I don't want like a dark, but we're going there when I'm
• 2:41:27
  not here anymore and I'm dead. You know, I want people to still
• 2:41:30
  be talking of my name. Yeah, I want that to ever
• 2:41:33
  exactly. The kind of I want that to never
• 2:41:35
  done. It might, it might not be.
• 2:41:37
  So I mean, it's really not that deep.
• 2:41:39
  I do want to make it sound so wild right now, but a legacy is
• 2:41:42
  very important. That's a good end goal but I
• 2:41:44
  figured that's expected that. Yeah, from the start, I wanted
• 2:41:48
  the whole super life name to be kind of Forever.
• 2:41:53
  Yeah, no. I'm all for that.
• 2:41:55
  That's like the kind of impact that your legacy and like the
• 2:42:00
  kind of you inspire other people as well.
• 2:42:02
  People see your stuff not be not you know people just like me
• 2:42:05
  where I'm just like, damn I'm if he did that I can try to do that
• 2:42:09
  and inspire people to be better than.
• 2:42:10
  That's that's that's a, that's a, that's a feat in its own.
• 2:42:14
  Yeah. Like that's that's progressing
• 2:42:16
  to art that you still appreciate to, to inspire people.
• 2:42:21
  That was never the goal. So, from the start, but it
• 2:42:24
  happening has been amazing. Like some of these strangers
• 2:42:28
  from across the world, writing the nicest, things of how work
• 2:42:32
  I'm doing is inspiring them to try something, whatever fucking
• 2:42:35
  amazing man. I love all of it and to give
• 2:42:39
  some type of a positive influence for and not even just
• 2:42:41
  car shit just to risk it all and do something you want to do.
• 2:42:47
  That's it. We're God.
• 2:42:47
  Is what it is. If I had one percents of that in
• 2:42:52
  helping you and Byron. Anyway, I love it.
• 2:42:54
  I love it. Amazing.
• 2:42:56
  Amazing can't wait to get in contact with you.
• 2:42:57
  When I get this bumper going, most people are just here for
• 2:43:02
  the end of the race, but the real part is the race, the race,
• 2:43:06
  the race is the part. You want to be enjoying Journey?
• 2:43:08
  Yeah. Someone said it.
• 2:43:11
  I don't know where I heard it, but that's, you really is the
• 2:43:13
  easiest way to put that into words because most people are
• 2:43:15
  like, you know, I just gotta get my career going in this and that
• 2:43:17
  and then eventually, it's like, yeah, but eventually you're
• 2:43:20
  going to be 60. Yes, yes.
• 2:43:23
  There was this one older guy. He was the, this is car guys.
• 2:43:27
  Something he was talking and he said, this really amazing thing
• 2:43:31
  and he goes, you have to love the journey, mum way more than
• 2:43:37
  accomplishing the goals because when you accomplish your goals
• 2:43:39
  and happens, far in between you might enjoy one day out of six
• 2:43:43
  months, but when you enjoyed the journey, you enjoy every day
• 2:43:47
  rather than the one time you accomplish the goal.
• 2:43:50
  Oh, I finished this in six months, you have such Happiness
• 2:43:53
  far and Far in between rather than the Journey of like I'll do
• 2:43:57
  this is cool. I'm really enjoying this.
• 2:43:59
  I'm enjoying waking up. I'm enjoying everything in
• 2:44:01
  between obviously way easier said than done.
• 2:44:04
  Yeah, and that's why I enjoy credit cards because I can just
• 2:44:07
  buy what I got it by now. Right Christ.
• 2:44:12
  Sorry. But that's kind of, that's what
• 2:44:14
  I did when I was younger, you know, I guess.
• 2:44:16
  Frankie Olivia. I know my fair share that.
• 2:44:19
  Yeah, alright, I'm going to start going through these
• 2:44:22
  questions. There are a lot of them
• 2:44:25
  questions from people from people.
• 2:44:26
  People care. Yes, my God.
• 2:44:28
  Yeah, I'm gonna pick and choose but there's some other ones in
• 2:44:32
  here. What's a dream project you love

• 2:48:07
  money in the beginning. Who's it?
• 2:48:08
  You're not going to make money for a long time.
• 2:48:10
  If you're in this for money, get out quick.
• 2:48:14
  Yeah, all of my friends were making way more cash than I was
• 2:48:18
  10 years ago at the start. Yeah.
• 2:48:19
  Never going to be about the money.
• 2:48:22
  Dave, Bob, tell us about your professional.
• 2:48:24
  Turkish oil, wrestling career prior to starting super life.
• 2:48:29
  Okay. I know what he's talking about.
• 2:48:31
  There is a video or some shit. Wasn't there some?
• 2:48:33
  Well no, no he's talking about. Because obviously, I'm I'm have
• 2:48:38
  Turkish. So they have a sport.
• 2:48:41
  They have a real sport. Yes.
• 2:48:43
  And it's it's very it's borderline like it's pretty gay
• 2:48:47
  but very much so but like what? Okay, so I'm gonna explain it.
• 2:48:52
  Yeah, two guys, okay, they don't wear any clothes but these weird
• 2:48:57
  little shorts, right would and you don't wear anything inside
• 2:49:00
  the shorts, okay? Okay.
• 2:49:01
  Malcolm's already interested and like, Like the shorts are baggy
• 2:49:06
  because you're supposed to get your hands.
• 2:49:08
  Whoa, I don't even start. Okay, okay.
• 2:49:11
  The two men rub the I think it's rub the lotion on the skin oil,
• 2:49:18
  whatever soil, right there rubbed oil, they rub oil on
• 2:49:21
  showed these guys are shiny, right?
• 2:49:23
  And then what they do, they wrestle, right?
• 2:49:26
  Uh-huh. The resting whatever.
• 2:49:27
  But here's the part that's fucked.
• 2:49:29
  Up is okay the way you get a point.
• 2:49:31
  Oh no! Dude.
• 2:49:32
  The way you get a point is you need Need to take your hands.
• 2:49:36
  No, put it in the other guy's pants, grab his shit and then
• 2:49:42
  you tackle him and give him a little Power Bomb or whatever it
• 2:49:44
  is. This is a turkey.
• 2:49:45
  This is Turkish. Yes, yes, proud.
• 2:49:48
  Proud proud to be what the fuck? All right, well, whatever it is,
• 2:49:57
  just go online to be carcass wrestling.
• 2:49:59
  Turkish, that is amazing. Well, we learned something
• 2:50:03
  today. Thanks David.
• 2:50:05
  Bob Curtis Fowler why did they choose an R 33 over other
• 2:50:10
  Skyline platforms? I feel like this question could
• 2:50:13
  go on for hours but I don't know.
• 2:50:14
  Honest yeah I think it was just I think it was just what was
• 2:50:16
  there? Yeah.
• 2:50:17
  Whatever or at the time you know maybe the 34 wasn't maybe the 34
• 2:50:20
  just came out and they didn't have money for a 34.
• 2:50:23
  So they got 33 it was before, right?
• 2:50:24
  Was before because it was 96. 97.
• 2:50:27
  Wait a minute, didn't they make a wagon 34?
• 2:50:30
  No, that's the steady stage that would be the stage with that
• 2:50:33
  with that are 34. Front.
• 2:50:35
  Okay now I see why people are saying that it could have been
• 2:50:37
  for that case but I'm sure it was just there whatever they
• 2:50:44
  yeah. And they wanted a fast car and
• 2:50:46
  one GTR just came out. Yeah.
• 2:50:51
  So I'm pretty sure that's why you know, twitch drift the
• 2:50:55
  wrong. Yes.
• 2:50:55
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 2:50:57
  Laurens been in here. The whole time is our biggest.
• 2:50:59
  He's our biggest supporter. Yeah, it was He was the first
• 2:51:06
  person to to support super like he was the first person to put a
• 2:51:09
  super Life sticker on the car without me saying like please
• 2:51:13
  put the sticker on the car. Ain't like he's like bro.
• 2:51:14

• 2:51:17
  I fucking almost like, shut like a tear, you know.
• 2:51:18
  Yeah, it's amazing. He's the man.
• 2:51:20
  I'd like to start of it. He was number one, so he says no
• 2:51:25
  questions, but we need to Aristo drifting again.
• 2:51:29
  Oh, shit. I think it is going to happen
• 2:51:34
  again though. Personally.
• 2:51:35
  I think they might I think you're gonna get out there just
• 2:51:37
  for fun. Just for fun.
• 2:51:38
  Yeah, it's time. I went.
• 2:51:40
  It's been small-time. Shovel faction little private
• 2:51:43
  Den days a hangout day. That wouldn't be so bad.
• 2:51:45
  Some like that. Not as much pressure.
• 2:51:47
  No pressure buddy. Watch come out.
• 2:51:48
  You can hang out you can watch or you could.
• 2:51:51
  That's not bad. That's not it.
• 2:51:52
  Just if you guys ever do anything like that.
• 2:51:54
  Yes, you'll get the call. Here's another one.
• 2:51:56
  Yes, sir. Real men are buddy.
• 2:52:00
  Louis. He says, where's the band?
• 2:52:01
  Where's the ball of Bondo you Help you have one at the shot.
• 2:52:04
  Right? Every time I'm done, I put it on
• 2:52:06
  this thing. So it started to not get big
• 2:52:10
  after a while because now it got so big that.
• 2:52:12
  Now putting small amounts aren't isn't doing any like it's a
• 2:52:15
  little easier to Bali Bond. Oh yes, let's talk about this
• 2:52:18
  big. So 11, Dave started with me back
• 2:52:20
  in 2020. He was like, yo, we're always
• 2:52:23
  just throwing away filler. He goes, let's put it in a ball
• 2:52:26
  and let's make it two big balls. Like that's one of the fucking
• 2:52:29
  best idea. This is the best, the best idea.
• 2:52:35
  So he started it, it was a small thing and I just keep adding to
• 2:52:39
  it. I got to say it's at least 60
• 2:52:42
  pounds right now. So like we picked it up and we
• 2:52:47
  threw it down and makes a sound. I went on top of my roof and I
• 2:52:49
  threw it off the roof and it's like a big drop.
• 2:52:52
  I got ya, he's didn't break already feet.
• 2:52:54
  No it just went boom and it bounced and it just landed.
• 2:53:01
  Yeah, we need to come to your shop, do it?
• 2:53:03
  Tory's. Yeah.
• 2:53:04
  Yo we're gonna see the Bondo ball.
• 2:53:06
  He's oh yeah. Not not.
• 2:53:09
  Not like the not like the studio or anything.
• 2:53:11
  Yeah. Where's the Bondo ball?
• 2:53:12
  Last, I want to, I want to like, you know, I like seeing a person
• 2:53:17
  of their craft, you know. You see that?
• 2:53:18
  Yeah, but no give me the Bondo ball.
• 2:53:20
  Yes. It's it's pretty big now, ask
• 2:53:23
  about the custom GTR to do. We already did that?
• 2:53:29
  This is Nash from Long Island. A buddy of mine at ruo jie.
• 2:53:32
  I want to say he was part of the old Flushing Meadow Park drift
• 2:53:36
  days. Oh, mad Flushing Meadows.
• 2:53:38
  Yep. Days the Queen's drifting there
• 2:53:40
  was AA major, Let It Ride. What, let's, how is the best
• 2:53:43
  time of my drift? Yeah it was like cops wouldn't
• 2:53:50
  show up hours on hours ago. Guys are sitting up layouts.
• 2:53:54
  And yeah, there's like what? Shit layouts and we were good
• 2:53:57
  about it. They were good like they really.
• 2:53:58
  Are you going? Are you gonna like sanctions
• 2:54:01
  kind of? Yeah and of those like this one
• 2:54:05
  time, I went out and like I know you're innocent like back then
• 2:54:08
  we had this group called Brooklyn drift or something like
• 2:54:11
  that. So I rolled with them and it was
• 2:54:14
  my time to go out so it was one of the first couple times I'm
• 2:54:18
  freaking going out, whatever. And I went out, I did okay.
• 2:54:20
  But right after I got done you don't just like that big over.
• 2:54:23
  Yes everybody's on top area. Pop in your I thought I feel
• 2:54:27
  like Tokyo Drift. Are you really
• 2:54:59
  Backs it into the fucking fence breaks the fence, and then the
• 2:55:03
  cops come and we're all like, fuck.
• 2:55:05
  I remember, we like tied a shoelace around the exhaust to
• 2:55:07
  hold it up, because it was all like cracked up and shit.
• 2:55:10
  See what amazing nights man out there.
• 2:55:12
  Flushing Meadows was a different time.
• 2:55:14
  Yeah, well and like it wasn't close to Brooklyn but it was
• 2:55:18
  close enough where it was like a random thing.
• 2:55:20
  Oh, okay, like they said today, it's happening to our top.
• 2:55:23
  Yeah, let's go. And we just went and it was like
• 2:55:25
  maybe like a half hour drive or whatever it was.
• 2:55:27
  But so wild place and If it was off the highway, yeah, it would
• 2:55:31
  be a little bit more hot. Yeah, it was weird.
• 2:55:33
  Wasn't hot enough to mention? It was almost every fucking
• 2:55:35
  weekend. Yes.
• 2:55:36
  Yes. But was we?
• 2:55:37
  So I used to work a valet job and we would meet my buddy,
• 2:55:40
  Jesse, we had to 40s, and we'd be like, yo, we gotta, yeah, we
• 2:55:43
  gotta get out of here later. So we worked till like 1:00 in
• 2:55:46
  the morning. 12 at 12:00 at night and then we would just
• 2:55:48
  book it called the Queen's. Yeah, wait you were in Jersey a
• 2:55:51
  little Queen? Yeah, wow.
• 2:55:52
  Yeah we just go right over the gwb just that take that Highway
• 2:55:55
  all the way to go. Obviously two Bridges because
• 2:55:58
  you got across the other one. Yes.
• 2:55:59
  It's just dude, but we would, it was worth it.
• 2:56:01
  It was worth it just to hang out.
• 2:56:02
  And there was times, I didn't even go out but just seeing how
• 2:56:06
  Wild it was. Yeah.
• 2:56:07
  It was wild and like everybody was just nice about it.
• 2:56:11
  There was an asshole. There was nobody playing loud
• 2:56:13
  and I wish these takeover kids could take some fucking notes
• 2:56:16
  because holy shit, man, it was so like organize peaceful, no
• 2:56:20
  one was doing dumb shit, no one ever.
• 2:56:22
  Got hurt as far as I'm concerned.
• 2:56:24
  Speaking about takeovers like I don't sound like an asshole.
• 2:56:27
  You're telling me you wouldn't want to see a tick.
• 2:56:29
  Over life. So you should you're playing
• 2:56:32
  Devil's Advocate? Right now you're saying it.
• 2:56:35
  You, you wouldn't want to see one live.
• 2:56:36
  If I knew someone was gonna get hit by a car, I would go watch.
• 2:56:38
  That's what I'm saying. You wouldn't want to see the
• 2:56:42
  craziest shit. Of course, I don't want to
• 2:56:43
  participate. Yeah, course it's lame.
• 2:56:46
  Yeah, of course, all that all the shit whatever.
• 2:56:48
  Right. But when they take out the
• 2:56:48
  flamethrower right, when you'll, therefore it, when people are
• 2:56:51
  throwing Roman candles out of the Mustang 180 into the crowd,
• 2:56:56
  I mean, I want to see this show? Yes.
• 2:56:58
  Not that I have. The balls to go, because I've
• 2:57:00
  been given plenty of opportunities because we
• 2:57:02
  actually know one of the organizers.
• 2:57:04
  He's a young kid, dude, if so funny.
• 2:57:06
  But he brought us a 240 to build and we Built Well engine swap
• 2:57:12
  and then like we have find out. We're like, wait a minute,
• 2:57:15
  you're the fucking guys do shit. Yeah, yeah.
• 2:57:17
  And you would never have thought to you.
• 2:57:19
  So what you did? You not?
• 2:57:21
  I never went to one. This is one of my cars running,
• 2:57:23
  so he's like, yeah, come out. We were thinking about it back
• 2:57:25
  when they weren't such a big deal.
• 2:57:27
  We were like, we should come roll out with the Front Street.
• 2:57:29
  No, you can't go now. No, you know it's Nelson.
• 2:57:32
  If they spot you there. It's a wrap.
• 2:57:36
  Yeah. But the only thing that really
• 2:57:39
  bothers me is I was like, dude, I can't even roll up there and
• 2:57:41
  like just make an appearance because he's motherfuckers.
• 2:57:43
  Be touching people's cars? Yeah.
• 2:57:45
  Yeah. I'm like they got know.
• 2:57:47
  These kids have higher over in someone else's car.
• 2:57:50
  Yeah, just hang out up in a hoodie.
• 2:57:52
  Yeah, tighten my shit. Yeah, have my eyes open.
• 2:57:56
  I just watched Reckless. Yeah, it's crazy.
• 2:57:58
  I win. Win the worst Raffles, and I'm
• 2:58:01
  the most unlucky person ever. And my worst fear is that I'll
• 2:58:05
  be in my car at an intersection. I don't know how these things
• 2:58:09
  start, but I'm just picturing what, like, like a like a lot
• 2:58:12
  like, oh, that's a sound noisy. Miss and then they, and then,
• 2:58:17
  and then they assemble and then they assembled.
• 2:58:19
  I don't know. It just gets whacked.
• 2:59:12
  Am I going to take over right now?
• 2:59:15
  I'd like another car. I'm like looking I'm like and I
• 2:59:17
  heard some shit but I couldn't see it.
• 2:59:19
  It was over before it even started and I was like dude I
• 2:59:21
  think we were just in a takeover by accident like it was just
• 2:59:24
  like something that's not so bad your it's accident.
• 2:59:27
  Yeah try to go. But you got to witness some of
• 2:59:30
  the action. Yeah dude, I don't know, but I
• 2:59:33
  miss those old days that was fast.
• 2:59:36
  Quan was here in this Borough which is our friend.
• 2:59:38
  We play car wrecks with I'm over there in the video game.
• 2:59:42
  I'm like, I'm like, yo Kwon, check out this real bag.
• 2:59:45
  Oh, yeah, the tail always be like, yo, you giving me take
• 2:59:48
  over Vibes? I'm telling Frankie.
• 2:59:49
  Yeah, you're the Takeover guy. I know.
• 2:59:51
  We bring it up too much, but it happens.
• 2:59:53
  Yeah, part of the scene right now for the big question.
• 2:59:58
  I'll look. But that was from my my boy Ryan
• 3:00:01
  us out in Long Island. Thanks, dude.
• 3:00:02
  Thanks for the good question. Are you guys ever going to do
• 3:00:06
  YouTube? Well, I don't have to talk about
• 3:00:08
  you. I guess it's about you.
• 3:00:09
  Are you guys when I see, are you Guys, I'm like well that's gonna
• 3:00:12
  be another so that that to me, everyone's asking it's going,
• 3:00:16
  okay? But I know you probably don't
• 3:00:18
  want to do it because it's not, but I will say, I very much.
• 3:00:21
  Enjoy your long-form videos. You're putting up the reels,
• 3:00:24
  there is over. I really enjoy that.
• 3:00:26
  Thank you. Yeah, I feel like that's the
• 3:00:28
  most. Anybody wants to hear me talk?
• 3:00:29
  Isn't it and a half? And that's the mood.
• 3:00:31
  Yeah, that's it. Just quick.
• 3:00:33
  Easy. Sure the YouTube thing can bring
• 3:00:36
  the money. It's obvious.
• 3:00:37
  Yes. In the room, we all know it, but
• 3:00:39
  I've tried it. Couple times, it's you gotta
• 3:00:42
  dedicate your lip. It's hot and but I will.
• 3:00:44
  I'm a one guy T. Yeah I can't do that to.
• 3:00:47
  We would not be doing YouTube If I Didn't Have Malcolm.
• 3:00:49
  I always tell everyone that I'm I would not be doing that shit,
• 3:00:53
  but I won't do it. I will say something if Malcolm
• 3:00:55
  can give you some advice here too.
• 3:00:57
  So YouTube has this shorts thing now where it's like basically a
• 3:01:00
  real? Yes.
• 3:01:01
  Yes yes. Save Your reels post them on
• 3:01:04
  that done. That's not a bad idea.
• 3:01:06
  Yeah. Like CZ.
• 3:01:07
  You know, I mean here's think people want The longer video of
• 3:01:11
  course, just a video on YouTube, but they'll go.
• 3:01:14
  Can you go more in depth? Of course, they do you explain
• 3:01:15
  why you're doing this sort of or whatever if you ever run into
• 3:01:19
  someone who can edit because at for me, that would be the thing.
• 3:01:22
  I don't want to do. Even if you did a fucking, all
• 3:01:25
  right, we're at the end of the project.
• 3:01:27
  I'm going to do a walk around. But but then that involves me
• 3:01:29
  having to talk with someone cool fortiori that you just sit there
• 3:01:33
  telling whatever? Yeah.
• 3:01:34
  Yeah, it's not too much of a. Yeah, it's yeah, art.
• 3:01:37
  And maybe am I being selfish going?
• 3:01:40
  Like, I just wanna watch them in.
• 3:01:43
  Might get to one point. When someone does say listen,
• 3:01:46
  let me be that guy. And yeah, yeah.
• 3:01:47
  Like the guy and I'm so big to the point where I can easily
• 3:01:52
  transfer all of my Audience to YouTube.
• 3:01:54
  I thought if I did YouTube right now, I'm going to put up a
• 3:01:57
  video. It's Gonna Get Nine views and
• 3:01:59
  it's not going to do anything. I'm going to put it up into the
• 3:02:00
  void. Not nothing's gonna happen, it's
• 3:02:02
  gonna fucking break my heart. I do agree with that one.
• 3:02:05
  You got it. You know, you got to start, like
• 3:02:07
  you said, yes, I just got to start.
• 3:02:08
  Yes, yes. But I know you're saying but
• 3:02:10
  it's very it's like, it's like is it a waste of time?
• 3:02:12
  Or is it not? I tried a bunch of times and it
• 3:02:14
  never worked out. I just feel like people don't
• 3:02:16
  care. Yeah.
• 3:02:17
  Yeah, the thing that YouTube is like it takes so much time, man,
• 3:02:20
  to to build that. Yes, but when it does, it's
• 3:02:23
  obviously. Yeah.
• 3:02:23
  I was talking to Malcolm Valley the other day.
• 3:02:25
  I was like why is it so hard to get subscribers on YouTube?
• 3:02:28
  It's like crazy. Hey, it's used cot like I'm on
• 3:02:31
  YouTube. Yeah.
• 3:02:33
  And the algorithm seems pretty fucking amazing.
• 3:02:35
  You would figure. Yeah easier.
• 3:02:37
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Go for it and then we'll finish
• 3:02:41
  this up. You know what it is is because
• 3:02:43
  any media platform is oversaturated now.
• 3:02:46
  Yeah. Well I don't know man it.
• 3:02:50
  Oh I know what it is. The fuck am I saying how many
• 3:02:52
  times you watch a YouTube video? Leo when you don't subscribe to
• 3:02:54
  him. All the time a lot a lot.
• 3:02:58
  Also, YouTube has to make that feature a little bit more.
• 3:03:00
  Like in your face, I would say because Instagram, it's like you
• 3:03:03
  go to the account. Boom.
• 3:03:04
  It's already there. That's the first thing.
• 3:03:06
  You're seeing a big blue thing. Yeah, but like, that's up to
• 3:03:09
  them. The content maker to encourage
• 3:03:12
  people to submit as it is, as it is right now, they're asking for
• 3:03:15
  a handout, but if it was just right on the screen, like we're
• 3:03:18
  going to starts no matter what and then it fades it does.
• 3:03:21
  It's on the bottom right corner. No matter what?
• 3:03:23
  Yeah, of your video. It's a little go.
• 3:03:26
  Ghost and you can subscribe right then and there it's up to
• 3:03:29
  the content maker to produce something.
• 3:03:31
  That's worthwhile to subscribe for me as a viewer.
• 3:03:35
  I'm not just going to automatically subscribe because
• 3:03:37
  I watch one of your videos. The amount of shitty as videos.
• 3:03:39
  I see where it's like one good video and you go to their
• 3:03:42
  Channel because you want to see more cool shit about this thing
• 3:03:44
  that you just saw and the rest of the videos are so shitty.
• 3:03:47
  That I can't even, I can't sit there for more than 30 seconds.
• 3:03:50
  Like, yo you you lost it? Would it would depend on the
• 3:03:53
  content of the? Yeah, I'd say our Pretty good.
• 3:03:56
  Your guys's content is pretty good.
• 3:03:58
  I gave you guys this up. Thanks, Carl.
• 3:04:01
  Hmm. You guys that's funny.
• 3:04:03
  I'm trying to get us out of here.
• 3:04:04
  Did we could talk to him for fucking decades?
• 3:04:07
  I just want to ask him how to make when I get the foam and I
• 3:04:10
  spray. The bumper is one of the best
• 3:04:12
  guests we've ever do. I who do?
• 3:04:13
  How do I make the bottom of the leaf two hours ago?
• 3:04:16
  How do I know and you stayed? I said how do I how do I make
• 3:04:19
  the bottom of the bumper flat as possible?
• 3:04:22
  You ask him another technical question on this too goddamn
• 3:04:24
  podcast. I swear to God on the If only
• 3:04:26
  for the here, this section. Well, I'm trying to eat man when
• 3:04:28
  I, when I get the foam on the bumper because I knock a shape
• 3:04:31
  it. Yeah.
• 3:04:32
  How do I make the bottom of it flat perfectly flat?
• 3:04:35
  I don't actually is one of my questions.
• 3:04:37
  How do you do that? But here's my idea is that I
• 3:04:40
  would prop the bumper up in some sort of G.
• 3:04:41
  Again, have to make a jig and the or leave it on the car.
• 3:04:44
  And then I would make a splitter quote unquote for the car, where
• 3:04:48
  I'd want the bumper to end, and I'd spray the foam until he was.
• 3:04:50
  And then, that would make it flat and pull the fucking thing
• 3:04:52
  off. And I think it was the flat
• 3:04:54
  part, but it was something I remember I always would People
• 3:04:56
  talk about constructing fiberglass, bumpers.
• 3:04:58
  I'd be like, nope. Impossible.
• 3:05:00
  There's always like, nope, impossible.
• 3:05:02
  And there's always this one section, but I haven't been
• 3:05:04
  working on fiberglass and so long.
• 3:05:05
  I don't even remember what the fuck.
• 3:05:06
  It was cake. Yeah.
• 3:05:08
  But it maybe had, you know what probably was making like, you
• 3:05:11
  know, how some bumpers front bumpers will have like the, you
• 3:05:13
  know, the part that flares out and then below it will be like
• 3:05:16
  the straight. Nice stress.
• 3:05:17
  Yes, exactly. Yes, goes around.
• 3:05:19
  Yes, that's probably the part where I'm like, how the fuck are
• 3:05:21
  you going to make that? Look?
• 3:05:22
  No, no, it's the bottom. It's the bottom for me and he's
• 3:05:24
  talking about the a, how do you make?
• 3:05:26
  How do you get the bottom to be so flat like that?
• 3:05:28
  Are you making like a jigger something, sit on the floor?
• 3:05:31
  What are you talking about? As far as on the bumper goes on
• 3:05:34
  a bumper, right? Like you know how when it goes
• 3:05:36
  down and then there's that part that Scoops under under it.
• 3:05:39
  Just a little bit harsh for structure under tray sort of
• 3:05:44
  thing. Yeah.
• 3:05:45
  How are you getting that flat like that?
• 3:05:47
  What do you mean? How are you getting the flu
• 3:05:48
  like, during the forming process during the coup making it
• 3:05:51
  because the way you want, when you made the original plug you
• 3:05:55
  made that strange, When you're transferring over to fiberglass,
• 3:05:58
  the fiberglass is curing on the shape.
• 3:06:01
  No, no. I mean like the plug itself
• 3:06:03
  then. Oh, make it out of whatever.
• 3:06:04
  Yeah, it doesn't matter. Yeah, sad.
• 3:06:06
  That is up to the assembly. Exactly.
• 3:06:07
  I've seen some guys use wood, huh?
• 3:06:10
  That's exactly what would you just use the whole bottom, one,
• 3:06:13
  and you're just using it as a shape.
• 3:06:15
  It's not going to run it on the car.
• 3:06:16
  Uh-huh. But you just have something long
• 3:06:18
  and straight that you could use haha shape.
• 3:06:22
  Yeah, I said that when you were gone I've seen plywood this is
• 3:06:25
  one of my favorite Podcast, but I'm getting scared.
• 3:06:27
  The idea is you're giving him right now, that's good.
• 3:06:31
  I had to leave two hours ago. I said, fuck it.
• 3:06:33
  This is so much information. Thank you, man.
• 3:06:38
  Appreciate it. All right, let's get some more
• 3:06:39
  questions. Let's see what other questions
• 3:06:41
  we have because I did also have to go home.
• 3:06:43
  Jack Simon, Jack are Simon were you born in turkey or in the
• 3:06:47
  states? And have you ever been in Japan?
• 3:06:49
  Well, Japan, yes, yes, yes, but I was born here.
• 3:06:52
  You were born in America. Set up needed setup.
• 3:06:57
  Let's get that question. Any difference?
• 3:07:00
  Working on metal from Japan, cars, German cars?
• 3:07:04
  You know something like that. I guess as the metal different
• 3:07:07
  between like the he's countries I never I mean the only thing
• 3:07:11
  I've seen difference is not so much as far as the in between
• 3:07:15
  manufacturers. It's so much about time more
• 3:07:17
  than anything else, the older you get the thicker, the metal
• 3:07:20
  is implore, you get the thinner. It is because my always my
• 3:07:22
  thought is always like Japanese metals like shitty thin metal it
• 3:07:26
  is very thin but generally around that time most of it were
• 3:07:31
  that. Yes.
• 3:07:32
  So mostly across the Board time frame was.
• 3:07:35
  Of course, there could be some things that are subject to
• 3:07:37
  change. Yeah.
• 3:07:38
  Usually on older cars, like older American cars.
• 3:07:41
  Sometimes you would see metal like 16-gauge sometimes?
• 3:07:44
  Yeah, it's fairly thick. You know, sometimes 18 gauge, on
• 3:07:47
  newer cars goes all the way up to, to a 20 gauge, which is
• 3:07:49
  hole, which is fairly thin. Yeah, yeah.
• 3:07:52
  I remember, yeah. So I think it's more to do with
• 3:08:00
  time. I also noticed that like, Toyota
• 3:08:02
  is the way they're made her. So, because we're you, Nissan's,
• 3:08:05
  all Toyota big difference, dude. So strong.
• 3:08:07
  The yes, sir. The freaking quarters are like
• 3:08:09
  four layers of Steel. Yeah, crazy.
• 3:08:11
  Like just a front of the defender Mountain.
• 3:08:14
  Just like God damn what it really trying to build this for.
• 3:08:17
  Oh yeah, then War. Well, it's a big time.
• 3:08:20
  Like obviously, I work on Toyotas, I work on Nissan's and
• 3:08:24
  Nissan's like a joke. It's like playing with Play-Doh.
• 3:08:26
  Yes, yes, there's a big difference end of for some
• 3:08:29
  reason, whatever it is Toyota's, don't trust us fast.
• 3:08:33
  Okay? What But what is something they
• 3:08:35
  do to their steel, whatever it is coding, whatever it is.
• 3:08:37
  Yeah, but I feel like, especially, because most of the
• 3:08:40
  cars I do are within the 90s, and every time, skylines kind
• 3:08:43
  of, most the time I discards, most of the time they come in
• 3:08:46
  99% of time. They're rotted out somewhere,
• 3:08:48
  rusting somewhere there. Any Japanese brand that you
• 3:08:50
  could say is the most rusty old, it has to be between Subaru.
• 3:08:56
  Okay. And Nissan fuck.
• 3:09:01
  I was gonna say Mitsubishi not to Mitsubishi is pretty bad but
• 3:09:04
  I don't want to say Mitsubishi because I don't have enough
• 3:09:07
  enough experience of Mitsubishi you have a good opinion.
• 3:09:10
  Yeah, I only seen a couple and like and like those evils those
• 3:09:13
  old evils I saw no, I like my God.
• 3:09:15
  They're rotting. Yeah, that end.
• 3:09:18
  What I'm seeing now is back when the evil eights and nines came
• 3:09:21
  out, they were still kind of new the evil eights and nines are
• 3:09:24
  aging their old right now they're rotting.
• 3:09:26
  I've seen them rotten. Oh my God.
• 3:09:27
  Yeah it was rotting away. Even the new ones are rotting
• 3:09:31
  away. But I would probably say a
• 3:09:32
  Subaru, a Subaru is Johnny's car evil 10.
• 3:09:37
  I'm doing a lineman on it and you walk under that thing.
• 3:09:39
  You think it was like, 20 years old.
• 3:09:41
  Yes. Yeah, wait, it has evil 10.
• 3:09:43
  You said, there you go. Look at that.
• 3:09:45
  That's wild. He dropped a shit out of car.
• 3:09:47
  But yeah, it does. But yeah, like hoping he'll be
• 3:09:49
  up there in the mountain right now when it's snowing or some
• 3:09:51
  shit still. I mean like my Toyota, if you
• 3:09:54
  look underneath it doesn't look like it's rotting away.
• 3:09:59
  Some areas that I scraped that it is rotting.
• 3:10:01
  Yeah. But most of the pieces are still
• 3:10:05
  looks like I might as not. I have an is 200.
• 3:10:07
  Mine is not a great example and yet and yet it's is use manual
• 3:10:11
  or it strong. Yeah, mine is a six-speed, it's
• 3:10:15
  a CD 600, it's not rotting fully.
• 3:10:22
  Like if in fact I would beg to differ and say that it's not
• 3:10:25
  really writing from anywhere. It's got like little surface
• 3:10:28
  rust and stuff and that is not Great example.
• 3:10:30
  Mmm. And you don't know fucking fine,
• 3:10:32
  it could be a lot worse. It's still fine.
• 3:10:34
  Like yeah they know how to make a car, just thinking about my
• 3:10:37
  rockers right now. Here's a good one.
• 3:10:40
  Set up needed for a garage, paint job, lol.
• 3:10:44
  And then in parentheses very serious, you don't need
• 3:10:47
  anything. You don't need anything.
• 3:10:49
  No, nothing at all. The only thing for the floor
• 3:10:52
  little is a compressor of big compressor enough, where you
• 3:10:56
  don't have to keep, whoa, yeah. Wait for it to charge up, you
• 3:10:59
  know, maybe air water, separator, or whatever the fuck,
• 3:11:02
  what are they called? We have something filters, you
• 3:11:05
  should separators all that stuff, most of the time, if you
• 3:11:08
  have a decent fan, you know, if you want to wet the floor.
• 3:11:11
  Sure. Yeah.
• 3:11:12
  Whatever is fine. But most of the time you really
• 3:11:14
  don't my my first couple like I remember doing a job for a
• 3:11:20
  customer and I did it in his garage because I just didn't
• 3:11:22
  have a place. I painted it in his garage.
• 3:11:24
  Yeah. And if you wet sand and buff
• 3:11:26
  your cars what does it matter where you Pence it?
• 3:11:28
  That's what I guess. Not.
• 3:11:29
  The shuttle. You're sending it out.
• 3:11:30
  Anyways, if you're sending out the whole car, what does it
• 3:11:33
  matter? The most important part is
• 3:11:34
  probably as long as the baby and the clear, like putting a clear
• 3:11:37
  over the like if you got anything in the base of course
• 3:11:40
  of course. Yeah.
• 3:11:40
  I mean that's where experience comes in you know, you got to
• 3:11:42
  look, I gotta make sure. Sometimes you got to go in and
• 3:11:44
  tuck it, you know, you got to see, you got to say, and it
• 3:11:47
  whatever it is, but you could get away with it especially if
• 3:11:49
  it's not like a Concours paint job style thing.
• 3:11:52
  You if you got a garage you got a compressor.
• 3:11:55
  They have a Harbor Freight gun. Yeah, 15 bucks.
• 3:11:59
  You heard you heard it here first guys?
• 3:12:00
  Good. Yeah, I'm writing this down.
• 3:12:02
  Just do it when you posted a video of a tip of taking outruns
• 3:12:09
  the clear. Oh yes putting body filler.
• 3:12:11
  Yes yes. Sending it out.
• 3:12:12
  Yes, I know. I remember that.
• 3:12:13
  You don't send out the clear round.
• 3:12:15
  Yes, yes. I think that's amazing.
• 3:12:17
  Yeah, I'm not sure where I learned that from but thank you.
• 3:12:20
  There was a lot of people that were like, was guy's a fucking
• 3:12:22
  idiot. You could just use this or you
• 3:12:24
  just like, I'm sure I could use this or this.
• 3:12:27
  But in this application I wanted to, to But there's many ways to
• 3:12:30
  do it. There's the body filler way.
• 3:12:32
  There's a there's the razor blade way.
• 3:12:34
  Yeah, there's dirt there, I mean, so many different ways.
• 3:12:36
  This is what happens when you have like, 80 something thousand
• 3:12:39
  followers on Instagram, you're going to get those people that
• 3:12:41
  are, you know, I don't want to comment numbers on that method
• 3:12:45
  followers would probably resonate the people who are
• 3:12:47
  doing DIY stuff. Yes, I can try that.
• 3:12:49
  Yeah, I know I love that video. Yeah, like I said, I loved it.
• 3:12:53
  Video content, thank you, it's great.
• 3:12:56
  Let's see what we're doing here. Well, ones from Carl, do you
• 3:12:59
  think I Fit in s13 racing line bumper on my is 300.
• 3:13:03
  I already asked that. Yeah, I think we already got to
• 3:13:04
  go that he said, yes, he said just go to it.
• 3:13:07
  I'm gonna go fucking do it now. Don't even think about, I'm just
• 3:13:09
  gonna go actually, well, raising light bulbs are kind of
• 3:13:12
  expensive chop up. I think I have an idea.
• 3:13:14
  Why would you buy that over adderplex bumper?
• 3:13:16
  I would. Well, no, because I would I
• 3:13:19
  would just make it myself. I wouldn't even make a.
• 3:13:22
  I wouldn't even get a race. All you want to go that far.
• 3:13:24
  I would just that's why I asked about the clean stuff.
• 3:13:26
  Oh no. I don't think you should do that
• 3:13:27
  at all. That's a good move.
• 3:13:31
  Yes, yes. The way getting something that's
• 3:13:33
  made and fusing them together and do and do doing the work to
• 3:13:37
  make it look seamless. Yeah, that is a lot better than
• 3:13:40
  starting from scratch. Yeah, had hard.
• 3:13:42
  Is it from thin air? Creating a product?
• 3:13:44
  Very, very difficult. Yeah, very difficult.
• 3:13:47
  Maybe something smaller scale. I mean, I don't want to crush
• 3:13:49
  your dreams, but I don't think you should do that.
• 3:13:51
  I think you should find something that's cool.
• 3:13:54
  Cut it in half and the fuser you can always modify from something
• 3:13:58
  to ya. And start.
• 3:14:00
  Yes, I'm just going to troll the classifieds and see body kit
• 3:14:04
  from a Pontiac Sunfire. But like, that's what I mean.
• 3:14:08
  Like at you have to you're able to like look at something and go
• 3:14:12
  that would work. They're like roloffs dude.
• 3:14:17
  What bet before E46 and click tuning and and all of that stuff
• 3:14:21
  like the BMW bumpers and stuff, his was an S14 bumper that he
• 3:14:25
  put on an E46. And oh, yeah, that was cool.
• 3:14:28
  And same thing here. Just winged it.
• 3:14:30
  This guy Josh World Joshua Bloch?
• 3:14:31
  Yeah. Winged it.
• 3:14:32
  It's like yeah I mean I just fuck it.
• 3:14:34
  Did it you probably remember that car.
• 3:14:36
  It was a gray, E34 6046, four-door sedan with it look
• 3:14:43
  like a bee in sports body kit and he would drift at Club
• 3:14:45
  loose. Oh yeah.
• 3:14:47
  But before before that was a mass thing.
• 3:14:49
  What's his name? Again?
• 3:14:50
  Josh roelofs? Yes, yes.
• 3:14:53
  Yes. It was probably around the same
• 3:14:54
  time. Think I spoke with him.
• 3:14:56
  Only. Oh yeah, it was like, oh, I
• 3:14:58
  don't know. You were in Jersey or something
• 3:14:59

  Any shop or shops? I want to go to.
• 3:17:11
  I've never been to like shops out there.
• 3:17:13
  I know I reached out to one. It was like, we're Kangoo.
• 3:17:17
  She does his stuff through, it would be a lot better.
• 3:17:19
  If anyone listening could introduce us or make the
• 3:17:22
  connection for us now, we don't want us in under.
• 3:17:24
  We don't know anybody. Yeah, or well, I We have a
• 3:17:26
  couple people were trying to hit up but yeah, I mean I'm sure.
• 3:17:29
  I mean you could, you guys have a large reach I'm sure if you
• 3:17:32

  Maybe to take you somewhere. Yeah.
• 3:17:38
  Whatever the hell. I mean that's what I'm kind of.
• 3:17:42

  I heard is somewhat popular on the west coast.
• 3:17:49
  Yeah. When we went out there for
• 3:17:50
  drifting like a few years ago, people were like I love your
• 3:17:53
  merch and this and that this is sick.
• 3:17:55
  Yeah, look like Opposite side. No country.
• 3:17:58
  It's like what people that are. It wasn't even me.
• 3:18:01
  It was like, well, the girls doing the booth would be like,
• 3:18:04
  people like the stuff that we all agree, if you are on the
• 3:18:10
  west coast and if you are going to be at this event, at the
• 3:18:12
  black dudes drift event at Apple Valley, Speedway hosted are on
• 3:18:15

• 3:18:19
  Thursday, Friday. So we have limited time,

  coming out, hanging out with us and giving us a amazing podcast.

  It might have just been because it was nice to talk to another
• 3:20:00
  business owner and just bitch about little things.
