V8 Radio Podcast: Recent Episodes
V8TV Productions, Inc.
The V8 Radio Podcast hosts Kevin Oeste (SEMA Show, V8TV) and Mike Clarke cover the classic and muscle car car scene from a regular car guy perspective. Topics include Muscle Car car events, goings on in the V8 Speed and Resto Shop, V8TV, Muscle Car Of The Week, and the state of their own classic car projects. Throw in a couple trivia questions and lots of unplanned banter, and you have a fun and laid-back show that makes a perfect companion to your own automotive garage adventures.
It's a multi-anniversary celebration on this special episode of the V8 Radio Podcast! We're marking 10 years of the V8 Radio Podcast while also honoring the 30th Anniversary of the legendary 1996 Hot Rod Power Tour.
Our special guest is Paul Wieshuber, the guy who held Kevin Oeste's feet to the fire to make sure he kept his promise to hit the road on the Tour. The '96 Power Tour wasn't just an incredibly fun car event—it became a life-changing moment for Kevin, serving as the on-ramp to his career with Hot Rod Magazine and TV.
Of course, Mike "Q-Ball" Clarke is along for the ride to help celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the V8 Radio Podcast. We also give a big welcome to Corvette Central for stepping up to support the Automotive Trivia Contest—now proudly presented by Corvette Central! How cool is that?

We're throwing you another psychagogic V8 Radio Podcast with your hosts Kevin Oeste and Mike "Q-Ball" Clarke! This time, the guys dive deep into the chaotic, unscripted realities of owning and building classic cars. From Kevin’s hilarious (and soaked) misadventure driving his top-down ’62 Ford Galaxie convertible through a torrential downpour without working windshield wipers, to Mike’s update on his ongoing ’67 GTO project, the garage banter is in full gear.
Kevin also shares a detailed recap of his recent trip to Washington, D.C. with SEMA, advocating for the "Right to Modify" and explaining how advanced safety tech impacts the future of hot rodding. Plus, the V8 Speed and Resto Shop Engine Shop is absolutely humming with engine builds, including Pontiacs, Oldsmobiles, Cadillacs, and a very stubborn Buick 350.
Topics Covered The Anatomy of a Rainout: Kevin recounts getting trapped on the highway in his '62 Ford Galaxie convertible during a sudden storm with an inoperable hydraulic top and missing wiper arms. * Engine Shop Chronicles: A look inside the booming V8 Speed and Resto Engine Shop, highlighting the trials of a finicky Buick 350 timing cover, numbers-matching Chevelles, and a rare Palisade Green '70 GTO. * SEMA Takes D.C.: Kevin breaks down his recent trip to Washington, D.C., educating lawmakers on the ADAS Integrity Act and preserving our freedom to modify vehicles without government intervention. * Tuning and Fuel Economy Woes:* Kevin tries to solve the mystery of why his fuel-injected, overdrive Galaxy is suddenly getting worse mileage after a complete 20-year tune-up.
PLUS: Automotive Trivia Questions (No Spoilers!)* What does the "SC" stand for in the classic American Motors Corporation (AMC) SC/Rambler produced from 1958 to 1969? * How many total Pontiac Firebird convertibles were built across all generations?

We’re excited to share the newest episode of the V8 Radio Podcast is live! Kevin Oeste and Mike "Q-Ball" Clarke are back delivering another fun, insightful ride through classic car culture, hot rod builds, and shop life at V8 Speed and Resto. From automotive trivia, real-world lessons on making modified classics more enjoyable to drive, to crew shenanigans and plenty of laughs, this one’s packed with the kind of garage talk every gearhead digs.
Key topics covered:
- Deep discussion on balancing high-performance upgrades (suspension, rear axles, bushings, mounts) with everyday drivability – avoiding the “noisy tin can” trap many builds fall into
- Shop philosophy: connecting people to the best times of their lives through cars, and why conversations about what you REALLY want from a build matter more than horsepower numbers
- Crew fun: V8 Speed & Resto Playlist Challenge (team guesses who picked which songs), shoutouts, and a few hilarious tangents including 80s spy shows and unexpected global car trivia
Funny moment: The dramatic band sting when Mike’s wildly off-base guess on an automotive trivia question gets revealed – pure comedy gold. 😂

Back in 1963, Craig Breedlove famously set the world land speed record in the Spirit Of America, returning the title to the United States from Englishman John Cobb. And although Breedlove went on to set more records and go much faster than the 428.37 speed he achieved that day, we thought it would be fun to tell the story straight from a first hand account written in the pages of a 1963 Sports Illustrated Magazine. This is a great story, with quotes from Breedlove, and a historic vantage point from a very exciting time in land speed racing history. We hope you dig it! Hosted by Kevin Oeste.

On this episode of V8 Radio, Mike Clarke and Kevin Oeste dive into a behind-the-scenes scenario regarding an unusual error faced by the V8 Speed and Resto Shop Crew on a project that’s nearly complete, but not quite yet. The car is the sweet 1969 Camaro heavily modified with a Detroit Speed suspension system, Baer Brakes, Forgeline Wheels, Vintage Air, C and R Radiator, Currie rear axle, Hydratech brake booster, sticky Toyo tires, and more. The big recent upgrade comes in the form of a 700+ horsepower GM LT-4 supercharged V8, and so far, it’s been a heck of a ride. However, the calibration in the ECM is doing a few funky things during the accelerating upshifting process. We’re working with GM on a solution, but sometimes you have to work around quirks when you build custom cars. This, automotive trivia questions, a nod to NASA Flight Director Gene Kranz, and news on an upcoming V8TV production at the Performance Racing Industry show in Indianapolis! Whew, that’s a big episode of V8 Radio!

On this episode of V8 Radio, Mike Clarke and Kevin Oeste go back in time as Mike made the mistake of asking Kevin how he got started in this business. It started back in 1996 when Kevin and his buddy Paul Wieshuber embarked on the Hot Rod Power Tour in a car worthy of a junkyard, and it all went downhill from there. Who'd have thought he would have landed a job with Hot Rod and eventually start V8TV and the V8 Speed and Resto Shop? They also chat about the 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 XL 427 R-Code featured on Muscle Car Of The Week, ratchet up the trivia questions, and have a few laughs on this episode.

This week, our buddy Brian Stupski of Problem Child Kustoms joins again as we discuss various topics growing out of the recent Detroit Autorama, ranging from thoughts on high-dollar cars, the role of technology as applied to custom car design and construction, and his involvement with the 1965 Dodge "Dart SL" built by Big Oak Garage which landed a spot in the Great 8. Oh yeah, and a little about wild kustoms of the past, a new take on the toilet seat car, and a comparison of 1969 Camaros to classic rock albums.

On this episode, we hang with Brian Stupski, the artist behind Problem Child Kustoms and Studio PCK hot rod design. The episode starts off innocently enough, discussing car design renderings, big shows like SEMA, and building cars... then takes a fowl turn into custom van weirdness. At any rate, Brian is a good friend of ours and a tremendous designer, and we're lucky to be able to spend some time with him... no matter how weird things get. Check out the gallery of his work at http://www.problemchildkustoms.com.
