And it gets WILD. Strap in 😂From starting in a garage doing paint work for material costs to building some of the most talked-about cars in the industry, Buddy shares the path, the risk of walking away from steady work, and what it really takes to bet on yourself.We get into the builds that put Type One on the map, including the cars that had everyone talking at major shows, and the level of detail and execution that’s helping them make serious noise in the industry.There’s also a real conversation around what it takes to compete at the highest level. The right team, the right customers, and the kind of mindset where nothing gets skipped if you’re trying to win.If you’re into custom builds, shop stories, and what it actually takes to grow in this industry, this is a good one.\n"},"annotations":[{"startTime":110.1,"endTime":115.0,"type":"company","title":"Type 1 Restorations","url":"/glossary/type-1-restorations","quote":"This week we have Buddy Hale of Type 1 Restorations and crew.
