Starting back in the 1970s my dad hung out with a group of guys that lived and breathed hot rodding and changed the way the rest of the world looked at custom cars. They were friends and they pushed and influenced each other. At the top of that group was Bob Bauder. A true hot rodder in every sense of the word. Since Bob's passing in 2017 we've really taken some time to reflect on his influence and appreciate it. For the first time in many years the Coddington and Bauder boys got together to sit down, reminisce and share stories of our fathers and what it meant to us to grow up around hot rodding. Gregg and I had a great time talking with Danny and Brad Bauder. Hope you enjoy too.

Bill Hancock sits down with us to discuss the time he spent at Boyds wheels working closely with Boyd and crew as the wheel business was taking off in the late 80's. It was that time at Boyds that Bill learned the tricks of the custom wheel business and then went on his own to start Colorado Custom and spend almost three decades in the custom wheel industry. Bill shares some great stories with us about his career in the wheel industry.

We sat down with long time friend and car builder John Robinson. John is the oldest son of hot rod builder and long time Boyd friend, Fat Jack Robinson. We went down memory lane from the early days of the 1970's in Cypress and Hawaiian Gardens to where we are both at today. From Fat Jack and Hot Rod shop antics to Barrett-Jackson shenanigans. Have a listen.

For 15 years Dick Brogdon was Boyd's right hand man and supervisor of Hot Rods by Boyd. Dick along with his wife Melba helped Boyd and crew manage the business and oversee the operations at the shop. Leaving Illinois in 1986 Dick and Melba moved to CA to work for Boyd. During their 15 years with Boyd a lot of iconic vehicles were built and a lot of stories accumulated. We sat down with Dick to talk about some of those times.
