  3. It All Started In A Basement - Matt Lasszaic & Bill Butler

    Season 5, Episode 36

    Show notes

    From a Basement to a Nationwide Leader, Today’s Trucks & a Mustang Ghia Comeback!

    In this episode, we sit down with Matt Lasszaic of NPD (National Parts Depot) and Bill Butler of Ford Performance for a conversation packed with automotive history, industry insights, truck talk, and classic Mustang passion!

    We kick things off by looking back at the humble beginnings of NPDLink.com, starting out in a basement and growing into a nationwide industry leader in the automotive restoration parts business. Matt shares the story behind that incredible journey, while Bill brings his Ford Performance perspective to the conversation.

    Next, we shift gears to today's pickup trucks! If we had to put our money down on one truck to drive home, which one would we choose? We break down the options, discuss what matters most, and explain which truck we'd buy and why.

    Then, we get into a special Mustang project with Gary of KASL Customs: the restoration of a 1979 Ford Mustang Ghia powered by the original-style 3.3L (200 cubic-inch) inline-six. The mission? Get this classic Mustang back on the road so Gary's daughter and Mom can drive it to Foxtoberfest 2026 in Charlotte, North Carolina! We talk about the car, the restoration, and what it takes to bring a unique piece of Mustang history back to life for the next generation.

    From a basement startup to a nationwide automotive powerhouse, from modern pickup trucks to a family-focused classic Mustang restoration, this episode has something for every Ford fan and car enthusiast.

    🎙️ Tune in, turn it up, and join the conversation!

  4. Granatelli Motor Sports: A Legacy of Horsepower, Innovation & Family

    Season 5, Episode 35

    Show notes

    From the golden age of American muscle to today’s high-tech horsepower wars, the Granatelli name has been synonymous with innovation, performance, and a relentless passion for speed.

    In this episode, we explore the legacy of Granatelli Motor Sports, founded in 1989 by JR Granatelli, son of legendary automotive innovator Joe Granatelli. Building on a rich motorsports heritage, JR helped bridge the gap between classic muscle and modern performance, pioneering advancements in ignition systems, throttle bodies, electronic exhaust cutouts, high-output coil packs, and emissions-compliant engine technology.

    Now, the next generation is taking the wheel. Led by JoJo Granatelli, a fabricator, builder, and visionary in the digital era of motorsports, Granatelli Motor Sports continues to push boundaries, bringing together cutting-edge engineering, bold custom builds, modern muscle, and extreme turbocharged performance.

    Based in a state-of-the-art, 42,000-square-foot headquarters in Oxnard, California, Granatelli Motor Sports designs, engineers, tests, and builds performance products for racers, tuners, and enthusiasts who demand more from every horsepower.

    Join us as we dive into the stories, technology, people, and passion behind a family that has helped shape automotive history for generations. From the streets to the strip, the garage to the racetrack, this is more than a story about performance parts. It’s about family, heritage, innovation, and the never-ending pursuit of more power.

    Granatelli Motor Sports — Built on Legacy. Driven by Innovation. Fueled by Horsepower.

  5. Should We Modify OR Preserve This Low Mile 1993 SVT Mustang Cobra

    Season 5, Episode 34

    Show notes

    🚨 WOULD YOU MODIFY A PERFECT 1993 SVT COBRA? 🚨Only a handful of pristine 1993 Ford Mustang SVT Cobras remain like this—untouched, original, and completely unmolested by the aftermarket.But now we have a problem…🔥 Do we preserve this collector’s dream… or turn it into a street monster?This immaculate Vibrant Red Foxbody Cobra still wears its original parts, factory welds, tags, and low-mileage condition. It’s a genuine time capsule—and with Foxbody values climbing in the 2026 collector market, one irreversible modification could have a serious impact on its future value.But there’s another side to the argument…The factory 5.0L V8 made just 235 horsepower. By modern standards, that’s enough to get embarrassed by some modern family SUVs minivans. So is keeping it 100% stock really the best way to experience this legendary machine?In this episode, we present both side of the argument:🔧 THE MECHANIC: Preserve the Cobra exactly as Ford built it.🏁 THE OWNER: Make it faster, sharper, and drive the heck out of it.💰 THE BIG QUESTION: Can you have modern performance without destroying the car’s originality?We’ll examine high-end reversible upgrades, modern suspension and potential performance modifications—including stealthy upgrades that could transform the driving experience without permanently devaluing the car.Then comes the moment everything changes…Will the first wrench finally turn—or will this Cobra remain completely untouched?
    A Huge thank you to Matt - the owner of this stunning 1993 SVT Foxbody Mustang Cobra for sharing his cars story and thoughts/theories surround modifying this incredible car!

  6. Find The Blessing In Every Challenge - Nine Finger Wrenching

    Season 5, Episode 33

    Show notes

    Meet Josh — a cancer survivor, garage nut, tinkerer, and guy who believes there’s always something worth fixing, restoring, or bringing back to life.

    After surviving cancer, Josh learned to look at life a little differently. Every challenge became an opportunity, every setback a lesson, and every day another reason to make memories and enjoy the ride. Now, he’s bringing that outlook to the garage, the road, the lake, and everywhere in between.

    Alongside his family, Josh dives into all kinds of adventures — from revving up Sea-Doos and restoring classics like a ’91 Ford Mustang GT to attending car shows, hitting the races, spending days at the lake, and tackling whatever project rolls into the garage next.

    But this podcast isn’t just about cars, tools, and wrenching. It’s about family, friendship, perseverance, laughter, and making the most out of life.

    With plenty of grit, gumption, and heart, Josh and his family invite listeners along for the projects, the adventures, the unexpected challenges, and the memories made along the way.

    It’s not just about what gets built or restored — it’s about the people, stories, and moments that make the journey worth remembering.

    This past week has truly gotten away from me and I've truly failed at being able to put together a new episode for you...

    This episode is a throwback to an episode we did back when the Shop Beers Podcast was called: "The Rollin In My 5.0 Podcast." It was an episode that both Chris and I didn't have a lot of spare time to record at the time but managed to put it together in true last minute format. I hope you enjoy!

    In this episode, KASL Customs sits down with Foxcast Media and 417 Fox for a candid conversation about where they came from, the experiences that shaped them, and the entrepreneurial journeys that brought them to where they are today.

    We dive into their upbringings, backgrounds, challenges, and the aspirations that continue to drive them forward. From building businesses and creative brands to pursuing passions that started as dreams, this conversation offers an inside look at what it takes to turn an idea into something real.

    We also talk about the upcoming Ford Take Over Event, happening September 10th, 11th & 12th in Jackson, Tennessee, and what attendees can expect from the event, the automotive community, and the people bringing it all together.

    Most importantly, this episode is about betting on yourself. Foxcast Media and 417 Fox share insight, lessons, and encouragement for anyone who has a passion, a dream, or an idea they want to pursue — but may not know where to start.

    If you're an entrepreneur, automotive enthusiast, content creator, or simply someone chasing a bigger vision, this conversation is a reminder that your background doesn't have to define your future. Start where you are, stay committed to the vision, and keep chasing the dream.

  11. The Rise & Fall Of The 90's Mustang Forums 1995 - 2026

    Season 5, Episode 30

    Show notes

    From dial-up internet and servers sitting in a spare room to millions of page views, press credentials at the Detroit Auto Show, and special access press deals with Ford Motor Company— this is the story of the early days of online automotive media.

    In this episode, we sit down with the founder of Corral.net and MustangWorks.com to hear how it all began in the mid-1990s, when the internet was still in its infancy.

    We talk about what it was like to physically host and maintain servers from home while trying to keep up with millions of visits every month, the challenges of monetizing an automotive website before digital advertising was fully established, getting invited to major automotive events, working directly with Ford, and building an online Mustang community from the ground up.

    It's a behind-the-scenes look at the wild early days of the internet—and how a passion for Mustangs helped create something that was far ahead of its time.

    In this episode:

    • The birth of Corral.net and Mustang Works in the mid-1990s
    • The reality of dial-up internet and early web technology
    • Hosting and maintaining servers from home
    • Managing millions of page views per month
    • The early days of online advertising and monetization
    • Press invitations to the Detroit Auto Show
    • Working with Ford Motor Company
    • The evolution of the Mustang community online
    • The challenges—and opportunities—of being an internet pioneer
    • Lessons from building an automotive media business before the industry even existed

    If you remember the early days of the internet, the Fox-body Mustang era, or the rise of online automotive communities, you're not going to want to miss this one.

    Special thanks to Dan & Chris for taking the time to share their incredible stories with us.

    What does it take to organize one of the fastest-growing Ford enthusiast events in the country? In this episode, we sit down with the organizers of Motor City Fox Fest to pull back the curtain on everything that goes into creating a world-class celebration of the 1979-2004 Ford Fox chassis Mustang community.

    From navigating venue changes and the ever-growing challenges of event insurance to balancing the expectations of thousands of passionate enthusiasts, the team shares the stories most attendees never get to hear. We also discuss why moving the event has opened new opportunities while creating a whole new set of logistical hurdles.

We dive into what makes the Motor City the perfect backdrop for a Fox-body gathering—from its deep automotive heritage and must-see attractions to the restaurants, museums, and hidden gems visitors should experience while they're in town.

    And when the sun starts to set, there's only one place to be: Woodward Avenue. We talk about the legendary cruising culture, why every Mustang owner should experience Woodward at least once, and how that iconic stretch of pavement becomes an unforgettable reunion of Ford enthusiasts from across North America.

    Whether you're bringing a pristine four-eye, a clean LX, an SVT Cobra, a New Edge, or simply love Fox-platform Fords, this episode is packed with behind-the-scenes insight, Detroit stories, and plenty of laughs with the people making Motor City Fox Fest happen.

  17. We Moved Our Family To The USA - Here is What Nobody Told Us...

    Season 5, Episode 24

    Show notes

    Four months ago, our family of five packed up our lives in Canada and started a brand-new chapter in the United States. In this episode, we're sharing an honest update on how the move has really gone—from the highs and exciting firsts to the unexpected challenges we never saw coming.

    We talk about the biggest surprises of living in the U.S., what day-to-day life looks like now, and whether the move has lived up to our expectations. We also share the things we miss most about Canada, what we've grown to love about our new home, and what we're still adjusting to as a family.

    If you're thinking about moving countries, are curious about life in the U.S. versus Canada, or just enjoy real conversations about family, adventure, and starting over, this episode is for you.

  18. Racing, Risk & Reinvention with Stephen Cox | Race Driver, TV Host, Author & Adventurer

    Season 5, Episode 23

    Show notes

    What does it take to build a life driven by curiosity, precision, and the pursuit of excellence?

    In this episode, we sit down with Stephen Cox—professional race car driver, television host, producer, author, entrepreneur, mountaineer, and aviation historian—for a conversation that goes far beyond motorsports.

    Stephen shares the incredible journey that has taken him to 15 countries across four continents, competing on some of the world's most iconic race circuits while building a career that spans endurance racing, television, publishing, and luxury product design.

    We explore the mindset required to compete in professional racing, from the physical demands of endurance events to the mental discipline needed to perform at the highest level. Stephen reflects on lessons learned throughout a career that includes 35 race wins, 134 Top-5 finishes, championship success, track records, factory testing, and victories in legendary endurance races like the 14 Hours of Daytona.

    The conversation also takes us behind the camera as Stephen discusses his work as a television host and producer, sharing stories from covering some of motorsports' biggest events for major American sports networks, including the Indianapolis 500, NASCAR, Champ Car, Mecum Auctions, and international racing series.

    Beyond racing, Stephen reveals another lifelong passion—the history of First World War aviation. We discuss the remarkable innovation, engineering, and pioneering spirit of early aviators, and how those lessons continue to inspire him today.

    One of the most fascinating parts of our conversation centers on Stephen's entrepreneurial journey. Rather than settling for existing luxury watches, he set out to build one capable of surviving the intense G-forces of the racetrack, the freezing conditions of mountain climbing, and the constant demands of world travel. The result was Sopwith Watches, a collection of high-performance luxury timepieces built with exclusive materials and inspired by adventure, precision engineering, and timeless craftsmanship.

    Stephen also shares insights from his career as an author, preserving racing history through books on Corvette, Porsche, Shelby, and motorsports legends, while offering practical advice on sponsorship, branding, and building opportunities in competitive industries.

    Whether you're passionate about racing, entrepreneurship, history, engineering, adventure, or simply love hearing extraordinary life stories, this episode offers an inspiring look at what can happen when you're willing to chase multiple passions without compromise.

    In this episode, we discuss:

    •

    Stephen's journey through professional motorsports

    •

    The mindset behind endurance racing and high-performance competition

    •

    Lessons learned from racing around the world

    •

    Entrepreneurship, resilience, and following your passions

    •

    If you enjoy conversations about motorsports, innovation, adventure, history, business, and the people who refuse to be defined by a single career, you won't want to miss this episode.
