We met Alex at the Milwaukee World of Wheels show. He came up to our Famous Flying Flyer Table and asked why most car shows don’t allow certain cars to join in. After a lengthy discussion – we thought why not put this conversation on the radio.
Guests: Brew City Gassers; Mark Davis, John Reidenbach, Brad Jancarik and Wisconsin Car Enthusiast Club; Alex Martinez
In the 70's Charlie Weddle became known as "The Black Fox" as he drove his 1970 Chevelle. However, he started his career competing in the local race tracks in the early 60's. In 1965 he placed 5th overall in the Milwaukee area Sportsman Stock car point standings at the Slinger, Cedarburg, Hales Corners and the State Fair quarter mile track.
Captn Bob and Arlo chat with Dennis Pittsenbarger from Discovery's Sticker Shock about the future of the show and what Dennis has been up to.
Colby Martin of SEMA Action Network talks about working on laws that can harm the automotive hobby
We thought it would cool to talk with the Ring “sisters-in-laws” and find out how it all works and what they see for the future of the Ring Brothers organization. And not to mention, we might learn some family secrets.
Guest: Jo Coddington and Pete Neale from Pete’s Hot Rod Shop in Queensland, Australia and Jim Tolkan of the Automotive Dealers Association of Mega Milwaukee.

Emily Reeves became popular by creating how-to videos for the weekend mechanics. Her “Flying Sparks Garage” YouTube channel became a huge hit showing how to replace brakes, install exhaust, engine upgrades and more.
We talked with Ricky about his hot rod build. We think the rod is in a class all by itself because Ricky blended cues from the rat, old school, traditional and modern designs. And it all works beautiful. Looking at the vehicle it’s hard to see all the body mods he had to change to make the final product. A true testament of his skills was how hard it was to see where he cut, chopped and bent the top and truck bed. The engineering of the chassis to fit the big block was really cool. The car has air conditioning, power steering and power brakes.
CARtoons Magazine is one of the coolest and funniest automotive magazines. Marc Methot rescued the magazine from the newsstand grave yard. The magazine started in the late 50’s and continued to be published until the 90’s. Where it fell into obscurity due to publishing cost and readers being distracted by that internet thinging.
The comic magazine includes short comic strips, short stories, cool artwork and kookie characters. The artwork is created by a lot of degenerate illustrators who gives the readers relate-able life experiences with cars. All subscribers can’t wait to see the next issue because each issue had a ton of fun to stare at.
Marc is a regular dude that stepped up and successfully obtained the trademark to this magazine. Since then he has been a busy guy. Running a print and digital magazine takes a lot of time.
John Buck is the owner of Rod Shows which sponsors the world famous Grand National Roadster Show. This year the GNRS will celebrate it’s 70th year. This show is considered the Grand Daddy of them All. Over 3 days of hosting over 500 vehicles inside several buildings and on Saturday you will find cool rides parked all over the grounds. It’s a tradition of car club members to bring their unique rides to help celebrate the GNRS. These rides don’t have to be roadsters to attend.
However, to compete for the “America’s Most Beautiful Roadster”, builders from all over bring their latest roadster builds. Each entry is painstakingly crafted because of the prestige of this grand award.
Jayson “Shag” Arrington is best known for his role on the hit TV show “Iron Resurrection”. However, Shag is much more than the haggler presented on the show. He is a marketing guru, entrepreneur and animal lover.
Recently, he helped founded Your Biker Gang, which offers you to form your own biker gang and tour the city of Austin, Texas. Don’t worry, the members of Your Gang will be riding electric mini-bikes.
Everyone who watch’s the automotive TV hit series Iron Resurrection knows this guy can paint. They also know him as Shorty. On the show he works along side one of the best fab teams in the business of building cars and motorcycles.
Here are two more interviews we did at the 2018 SEMA show. Joe and Amanda Martin from Motortrend’s Iron Resurrection - We talked about the crew at the shop, what projects are coming up and what they thought about this year’s 2018 SEMA show. Then, Chris Slack from Gandrud’s Parts Center. He brought his high performance parts to this year’s 2018 SEMA show.
How many of us can say they were friends with other great artist and customizers like Von Dutch, Ed Roth, Willy G. Davidson, Tommy the Greek, Dean Jeffries and more. Butch is famous for solving tough creative applications for cars, motorcycles and boats.
We heard he loves talking about paint. Why shouldn’t he – – he has developed colors and techniques that are still consider genius.

This week’s show will have to be a prerecorded show because the boys will be in the air on their way home from the world’s largest automotive convention. So before they left they jammed in a lot of cool music with less talk.
So enjoy a little bit of rockabilly, rock n roll, soul and surf music.
Munster cars like the Munster Koach and the Drag-u-la and then the #1 horror film Christine. We will be having a great time talking about kookie and scary cars.
We thought with Halloween upon us we should dedicate some chatter to those icon cars that were the stars of a TV show or movie lot.
