In this episode, Levi Harrill joins Matt in the studio for a conversation that blends nostalgia, craftsmanship, and the pure joy of keeping hot‑rodding alive. Levi shares how his grandpa first pulled him into the car scene—starting with those 99‑cent Hot Wheels that sparked a lifelong obsession.

He talks about his soft spot for pre‑war iron from the teens, 20s, and 30s, the truck that slipped through his fingers, and what he brought to the Rat Stock Build Off. Levi also breaks down the lineup of cars he had to choose from for the High Class Trash Invitational and the inspiration behind the vision he ultimately chased.

Matt and Levi dig into how different generations approach their builds, the trial‑and‑error process of figuring out what works (and what definitely doesn’t), and the emotional payoff of hitting that magical “running and driving” moment. They also shine a light on the car community—how inclusive, down‑to‑earth, and genuinely supportive it can be when people come together simply to enjoy their builds.

And yes… they even talk about a town so small it has a dealership that sells both Ford and Chevy under one roof.

This one’s all about passion, people, and keeping the culture alive.
