In this episode Nic talks with Donny Welch and Bill Ganahl at South City Rod and Custom. It’s a fun conversation that is rich in custom car history, goes deep into hot rodding philosophy, and is full of great stories about working on such legendary cars as the Pierson coupe, the Breece coupe, the Lepesh pickup, the Calori car, and more! . Recorded 5/21/16 at South City Rod and Custom in Hayward, CA.
Last weekend was the grand opening of our friends at Deadend Magazine’s new flagship store in Salinas, CA. It was a great time, every time I make it down to Salinas I find myself wondering why I don’t make it out to this town more often. Their shop at 16 Midtown Lane seems to be in the perfect neighborhood, it’s a charming part of town that reminds me a lot of my hometown (as it was when I was a kid, at least). The street was packed with exactly the wide range of cars and bikes you’d expect for a Deadend event; customs, hot rods, and lowriders were parked in every open spot down Midtown Lane.
