Shawn Fowler from Modified Auto Sound sits down with Matt for a deep, wide‑ranging conversation that hits every corner of his automotive journey. Shawn shares what first pulled him into the auto industry, the phases of car culture that shaped him over the years, and the spark that led him to launch Modified Auto Sound.

They dig into how the industry has evolved from generation to generation, how social media has changed the way builders debut their projects, and why passing knowledge to younger generation matters more than ever. It’s one of the longest episodes in the show’s history — and every minute is packed with insight, nostalgia, and real talk from someone who’s lived the culture.

Tonight, Matt got a chance to hang out with Gary from Sinister Stitches Custom Upholstery! They dive into what originally got him into doing custom upholstery, the advancement in skills and quality through the videos and photos on the internet, friends that came from asking for advice and trying to make the next job better than the last! The current "shop van" and Coronet project that was put on hold, and other sacrifices of growing in the industry. We look forward to working on an over-the-top design for the Caddy and possibly a more subdued interior redo on the '54.

We finally got the new setup dialed in enough to record in the bus! We look forward to catching up with everyone at PlayLoud 13 Car and Truck Show this weekend! The Caddy will be there, so come say hey!

This episode is a little different than the usual...Dalton came over and we just hung out. Talked about the Burton Brooks show last weekend that he put on, the current state of our projects, the benefit of having family/friends that support you and what we hope to see in the future for the car community.

Pretty raw, mostly unedited and still trying to get the bus podcast set up dialed in!
