Bob Folkestad, the President of Creative Werks, has a long history with cars. In the past he has been involved with race teams, which gave him a ton of knowledge that he now uses to help car owners of all kinds. Find out more about Bob in this segment.
Does your car have problems staying cool? Not anymore! Bob Folkestad explains how radiators work, where to mount them, and the biggest mistake people make when trying to keep their vehicles from overheating.
Car world legend Chip Foose (@chipfoose)made an appearance at the Columbus Zoo recently. What is it that makes Chip such a great guy? Boots mulls this over with Mac Tools (@Mac_Tools)Vice President, Robert Holmes.
Colo's Classic Car Show at the Columbus Zoo was a huge success! Tracy Murnane tells us the benefit of holding it in such a locale is the families it brings in and the great exposure it gives zoos that are working to protect species from extinction. This year's show brought in over 13,000 visitors! Will next year, the 10th anniversary, be bigger?
Ryan is bummed he didn't get to go to Colo's Classic Car Show, but luckily he has Boots to tell him about it. Boots also shares a story about why he keeps the window sticker from every car he's ever owned, and how one in particular came in handy recently.
This week we're all about the upgrades! Rick Love from Vintage Air has everything for your air conditioning needs, and Rusty Bell from JEGS.com has just about everything else! Let's see what we can learn from these two.

Right off the bat, Boots and Ryan begin arguing over which movies are a must see, how Ryan spends his free time, and what you call something that doesn't make sense (hint: the answer is not "your life"). Then, we get ready to meet our guests, Rick Love from Vintage Air and Rusty Bell from JEGS.com.
Executive Vice President Rick Love of Vintage Air joins to tell us about how the company is making cruising 'cool' (pun intended). They've been installing air conditioning in hot rods of all makes and models for 40 years now! Let's hear more from Rick.

We've talked with Rusty Bell from JEGS.com (@JEGSPerformance)in the past, but we've never heard about his background! Boots spends a segment getting to know the man behind the Email Marketing Manager.
Jegs's latest catalogue looked smaller than others to Boots; what's up with that? Turns out JEGS (@JEGSPerformance)is testing out new marketing strategies, including narrowing down what they think are the best parts and focusing advertisements on those. Of course, they always leave room for new products! Rusty Bell tells us about some new additions.
Rusty Bell has been with JEGS (@JEGSPerformance)for 30 years now! In exchange for his years of service, he was given a pretty amazing gift. If you want to know what it is, you'll have to take a listen!

We get up-close and personal with racing legend, Carl Edwards (@19_JGRracing), where he dishes on his favorite track, what he does in his down time, farming, classic cars, back flips and more.
Constructive criticism goes a long way. Dan explains why he prefers to say only nice things at car shows, and it may or may not have to do with threats of ocular violence.
We learn how to properly store and charge car batteries to extend product life with OPTIMA Batteries (@OptimaBatteries) eCare Manager, Jim McIlvaine. Then, we get technical about chrome with Metal Brite Polishing Owner, Mike Barr.

When it's cold outside, it takes more energy to get a car started. That's why many don't notice their car battery is going bad until winter sets in. OPTIMA Batteries (@OptimaBatteries) eCare Manager, Jim McIlvaine, says it's important to use a smart charger which tapers amperage and voltage throughout the charging cycle to ensure you get the most life out of your battery. For this tip and more, listen now.

Pitted pot metal is a cause for concern when buying a classic, but it's not an insurmountable problem. Metal Brite Polishing's Mike Barr explains the chrome restoration process.
Dan Longenette is a self-proclaimed "Chromosexual", he loves chrome that much. In fact, he would build his home around his garage if he could. We delve into Dan's deep affinity for cars.
Get ready to travel back in time as we explore the evolution of clutches with Will Baty, classic car favorites with Joe Petralia, and how to save vintage beauties for the future if you could travel in the past with Dan and Ryan. No matter what, we're hoping that where we go, we'll still need roads.
Segment 1: Stick Shift Drivers Segment 2: Mr. Clutch Segment 3: Transmission Talk Segment 4: Rare Performance Motorcars Segment 5: Missing the Past Segment 6: Time Travel
Does having a stick shift make you a better driver? Ryan Baker thinks so. He and Dan chat about why you should never teach someone you love to drive a stick.

We get into a technical talk on transmissions with Will Baty from Centerforce Clutches (@Centerforce), and ponder the future of the stick shift. Will manual transmissions ever get up to 9 or even 10 speeds like automatics?
Our next guest is a man who has owned practically every car imaginable! Joe Petralia (@joempetralia) from Rare Performance Motorcars is a purveyor of classic automobiles, buying and selling with a discerning eye that only years of experience can bring.
Dan and Joe Petralia (@joempetralia) enjoy a nice rant about the unappealing design of the new Camaro. When will certain automotive companies bring out a few cool new designs that will give car lovers something to drool over?
It's time for another edition of "Dumb Movie Ideas" with Dan! The guys brainstorm various time travel scenarios, predictably ending up wondering the best way to save old cars for their future selves.
The motorsport world may be in jeopardy, and Dan wants to know why. To take a look at current trends and perhaps predict future ones, we've brought in Brad Scott and Jeff Nuckles. Brad is the COO of the New Jersey Motorsports Park, and Jeff owns the Columbus Motor Speedway. Hopefully, these men can help shed some light.
Segment 1: It's a Speedway Kind of Day Segment 2: Bringing the Thunder Segment 3: Coming Soon Segment 4: The End of a Legacy Segment 5: Looking Ahead Segment 6: Living in a Material World
Dan is in great spirits for today's show! Not only do we have a couple of amazing guests, but Dan is also back from some epic car shows. Gear up for a great episode!
Brad Scott, COO of the New Jersey Motorsports Park (@NJMP) in Millville, New Jersey, is here to tell us about the 500 acre facility and its three unique courses. We also hear about a new project in the works: an exotic car garage.
Are there any new projects Brad Scott hopes to have done soon at the New Jersey Motorsports Park (@NJMP)? With up to 600,000 guests visiting yearly, it's no surprise they plan to expand. What might the future have in store?
On October 19, 1946, the very first race at the Columbus Motor Speedway (@COLUMBUSPEEDWAY) took place. Now, 71 years later, the track will be closing. Its owner, Jeff Nuckles, tells us the origin story of the family owned and run speedway.
With yet another racetrack shutting down, what might be in store for motorsports? Dan and Jeff discuss the shifting trends and differing opinions surrounding the automotive world.
Dan expresses his concern for the motorsports industry in the face of environmental concerns and noise pollution complaints. Are the ambitions of electric car companies too outlandish for current technology and needs?
What do carbon fiber wheels and nut jobs have to do with each other? They're both topics that our guests will be covering! Steve Schardt and Randy "Crusher" Lewis join us to discuss drag racing, business during car season, and cleaning those hard to reach places (get your mind out of the gutter).
Segment 1: Daytona Upgrade Segment 2: Forgeline Wheels Segment 3: Carbon Fiber Creations Segment 4: What a Nut Job Segment 5: The Crusher Segment 6: What's New?
The guys have been away on vacation and take a second to catch up. Ryan went to Daytona, Florida and was blown away by the recent remodel to the speedway. We also get set up for today's guests.
Our first guest is Steve Schardt from Forgeline Wheels (@ForgelineWheels). Car season is in full swing, which is always good for business. Steve and Dan chat about SEMA, which is rapidly approaching, as well as some of the services offered by Forgeline.
Carbon fiber is making its way through practically every industry, including car parts manufacturing. Steve Schardt gives us a glimpse into Forgeline's (@ForgelineWheels) latest project - carbon fiber outer wheels. Listen in for more on this fascinating creation!
Our next guest is Randy "Crusher" Lewis, co-creator of the Nut Job detailing tool. Randy started his automotive-oriented career as a fabricator for several victorious drag racing cars. Today, he brings a much needed solution to people like Dan who find it impossible to adequately clean lug nuts. Tune in for details.
Randy Lewis tells us about his previous experience in drag racing, and how he got his nickname "The Crusher." We're also treated into a little business insight; if you can make someone laugh, you'll get them to trust you.
We heard about Ryan's vacation in the first segment, so now it's Dan's turn! Take a listen to find out about the Goodguys auto show, fancy watches, and doing a burnout while pulling a trailer.
Have you ever seen a train with a jet engine strapped to it? Yes, it's just as amazing as it sounds. KC Jones is the owner of two such machines, and he can't wait to tell us more. We also get premium wax advice from the Vice President of Jax Wax, Jared Minor.
Segment 1: Car Show Season Segment 2: Jet-Powered Locomotives Segment 3: Young Love Segment 4: Jax Wax Segment 5: Old Time Car Care Segment 6: Wax on, Wax off
Summer is car show season, and that makes Dan and Ryan happy. We've talked with the people who organize some amazing car shows in past episodes, but this week we're switching gears and talking quality waxing and drag races.
What do you get when you strap a jet engine to a car-sized train? Magic, that's what. KC Jones is the owner of the Cannonball Express and the Chattanooga Choo-Choo, each powered by a Westinghouse J34-48 engine. Listen in to hear more about these wild creations!
We know KC Jones loves speed (remember the jet-powered trains?), but when did that love affair start? KC Jones gives us a brief glimpse into his past.
Looking for a quality wax manufactured in house by a reputable, family owned business? Then you need Jax Wax (@JaxWaxCarCare)! And according to Dan, it's so simple to use that a chicken could do it (though we want to know why a chicken would be waxing a car)!
Jared Minor from Jax Wax (@JaxWaxCarCare) gives us a crash course on how to use some of their products, reminding Dan of the process his father used to wax cars. This leads to the gang laughing about old time car care methods and quick "fixes."
Most people (including Dan) feel more comfortable applying layer after layer of wax, but Jared (@JaxWaxCarCare) says that is not always what's best. According to him, a couple of thin coats is better than one thick one. Take a listen for more advice!
What might the future of car shows look like as the older generations of hobbyists pass on their legacies to their children? What can you expect from a tune up at Smokey's Dyno and Performance? These questions, and more, will be answered in this hour of Street Rod and Custom.

Betsy Bennett has worked as the Communications Director for Goodguys (@goodguys) for 26 years, and she has never gotten tired of her job. That's not surprising, given that she gets to see the best of the best in the vintage car world. Listen in to hear more about upcoming Goodguys events.
How do you connect with the generations that inherit their parents vintage vehicles? Betsy and Dan worry over the future of car shows as collectors and hobbyists get older.
If you think your ride is in need of a tune-up, it's probably best if you go to a place that has 30 years of experience in the business. Tim Choate, Director of Operations at Smokey's Dyno and Performance (@smokeysdyno), gives us a run-down on what you can expect during the tuning process at Smokey's.
Things get technical as we explore the optimal psi for a fuel injection system. Tim also describes a recent '64 Lincoln project, and what you should do if you're interested in getting some tune-up work done.
Who needs 800 horsepower, really? Apparently Dan does. Naturally, Ryan wants to know why - and what exactly Dan plans on doing with that kind of potential.
How much do you know about drag racing? You're about to receive an education in Akron, Ohio drag racing history from the man who knows the most, Randy Lipscomb. Next, we'll hear from BOLT "Marketing Man" Jason Buckles about the latest innovations leaving BOLT warehouses.
Segment 1: Ah, Youth Segment 2: Lift, Weight, Thrust, Drag... Racing Segment 3: Father's Day Fun Segment 4: Reduce and Simplify Segment 5: The More You Know Segment 6: Good Old and Great New
Ryan gets Dan pumped for today's upcoming guests (Jason Buckles and Randy Lipscom), which (somehow) leads to the story of the time Dan crashed a truck into a fence, then chased a horse. No, we don't know why either.
Drag racing was born on the cements slabs of our country's airports. Eager to celebrate the pioneers of this legendary sport is Randy Lipscomb. Randy is passionate about the history of drag racing in Akron, Ohio, and is holding a special Father's Day event to spread the excitement.
Randy Lipscomb elaborates on the details of the Father's Day event being held by the Akron Ohio Race Legends Fund. For more information, check out their Facebook page: Akron Ohio Race Legends Fund.
Got some keys in your pocket going jing-a-ling-a-ling? You can easily cut down the number of keys you carry by investing in BOLT locks (@BOLTlock), Breakthrough One-key Lock Technology. With BOLT, all you need to have is your car key.
Jason Buckles answers Dan's many questions about BOLT (@BOLTlock), including available colors and maintenance requirements. We also hear about Jason's SEMA experience.
What old timer doesn't like to bring up the "good ol' days?" Dan recollects a simpler time when there were three channels on TV, cars didn't have computers in them, and drag racing at airports was legal (sort of). Ryan quickly reminds him of the new Mustang Dan's been driving as of late, which leads to an impromptu review of the "Bo Derek of cars."
Half the fun of being a car lover is checking out someone else's ride. Minnesota is home to a fantastic car show that brings together 12,000 street rods; it's practically a buffet!

Dale Sohlstrom, a member of the MSRA Board of Directors, joins us to share more information about this larger than life event.
Dale Sohlstrom gives us the details on MSRA's Back to the Fifties weekend that runs from June 17th to June 19th. Visit their website for additional information on the hours, events, and more!
The technology that is constantly emerging in our lives is incredible. Soon to be released is the latest innovation in after-market car tech: Voyo (@Voyomotive), the world's most advanced connected car technology. Not only can it track where a vehicle has been, it can also unlock it via your phone, troubleshoot issues, and detect speeding. On top of everything, it's affordable. $100 for a base model, and only a small amount more for added features.
Voyomotive (@Voyomotive) CEO Peter Yorke talks with Dan about the scanning/diagnostics feature that comes with Voyo. Not only does it have access to the generic codes that most scanners do, it can read proprietary ones that would normally be out of your reach.
With all this talk about car technology, Dan thanks his lucky stars that none of it was available when he was young and reckless. He also recalls two police run-ins that, thank goodness, were more misunderstandings than anything else.

Dan takes a moment to reminisce while playing a clip of American Grafitti, remembering the good old days when light hopping was legal (sort of), and cars were easier to work on. He also looks back on memories of a time when he desperately wanted a TransAm, but was stopped by the wisdom of his dad.
