  • TALES from the JUNKYARD with Jonas Lach and Daniel Harrison
    Nov 20 2024

    Let us take you inside one of the most bizarre classic car auctions ever: RM Sotheby's JUNKYARD Auction (AKA the Rudi Klein Collection).

    For decades, the reclusive Mr. Klein tucked away scores of desirable European sports cars. His Los Angeles salvage yard, "Porche Foreign Auto", was known for harboring hundreds of rare machines behind its walls, many of which had met with an untimely end- smashed seemingly beyond repair. But the decades of dry storage paid off, because most went far beyond their one-time scrap value in what was certainly one of the most unlikely auctions in the history of classic car culture.

    In this episode, Jonas Lach of Jonny's Garage and Daniel Harrison of Limit 55 join Maurice to recount their impression of the Junkyard, as well as sharing their personal car stories and how they see the future of the hobby.

  • Ryan Fielding of RINGBROTHERS
    Nov 6 2024

    It's time for SEMA 2024 and that means that all the top builders are revealing their latest creations. Mike and Jim Ring of Spring Green, Wisconsin bring the heat every year!

    RINGBROTHERS continues to push the boundaries of Restomods, and Ryan Fielding plays a critical role in that effort. He's the Chief Fabricator, leading a team of skilled technicians who take high performance dreams and hammer them into reality.

    Ryan did his turn in engineering school before committing to customs motorcycles, hotrods and sculpture as his vocation, but he always kept touch with Mike and Jim. Finally, they recruited him into the fold and it's been full throttle ever since.

    In this episode, Ryan shares his personal story, some behind-the-scenes shop stories, as well as a big reveal on the three Ringbrothers customs debuting at SEMA 2024.

  • Brandon Hegedus, Master Craftsman
    Oct 23 2024

    In a suburban garage in Alberta, Canada, Brandon Hegedus builds eye-popping replicas of some of the world's rarest and most desirable performance cars.

    We're talking cars that virtually no one can own because they are either so rare or valuable that the only option is to recreate them.

    It all started as a personal challenge to replicate a 1961 Ferrari Tipo 156 "Sharknose" Formula 1 car (the originals no longer exist).

    Using modern materials like carbon fiber, Brandon recreated the iconic Sharknose bodywork. Underneath, he used modern mechanicals that approximated the original performance of the Tipo 156, all tied to a scratch built frame. The result was a screamer of a car with stunning looks.

    That first build got the attention of the media and created fantastic opportunities. Brandon is now a full-time builder who's bringing his clients' dream cars to life.
