Talk Cars Radio, Dave Polage.

Speaker 2: Is that any.

Speaker 3: America you're listen Let's Talk Cars Radio and WKQA for your radio, I'm host Big DAVP, hangout camera, KAOS and AVB. Hey,

as I always tell you guys, it's probably a great day for a car show. It's definitely a good day

for a radio show. Just exactly what your weather always is, right,

so fingers crossed, your weather is really good where you guys are at and you're out and joining a car show, or if not, you got yourself a little drinking drinking, you found yourself a comfortable, comfortable chair and you're hanging out with us listening to the show, So I'm gonna jump into it this week. I would like to let

you guys know that White Noise is coming out of the Body Shop. So that is happening. We're excited.

Speaker 2: It looks really good.

Speaker 3: It does. It looks it came out nice. More stuff

to be done, so I think I told you guys, I never know where to leave things alone. Originally we

talked about just doing some quick things on White Noise.

If you don't know what White Noise is, because the first time you guys ever logged into the show, checked it out, heard on the radio. Whatever it is wherever

you guys are listening. White Noise is our nineteen sixty

nine Nova Project car that has been sitting in the body shop since basically right after Christmas. So it is

coming out. It's finally done. It's called White Noise because

the car is white, so yeah, that's the reason why.

And it's black and if you remember White Noise static on tea white and black sh yep, So that's kind of how we came up with the name for it.

So I was gonna leave it alone. I was just

gonna go to paint. It was gonna be the end

of it. I was gonna do just a couple of

little things to it. We clearly, yeah, welely decided we're

not doing that. And here's the reason why it makes

sense to us, and hopefully it makes sense to you guys.

We've already kind of missed some of the marks on some of the shows we plan on taking the car to already, because things to go a little longer than we thought, which is really nobody's fault, you know, getting parts, making sure we had the right parts, getting things order, waiting for them, things on back quorder, you name it.

You guys don't know how it is when you work on cars. So some of the shows I really want

to take the car to to show it off have coming gone, And since that's the case, why not just go ahead and do some little extra stuff to it and then maybe, if everything goes all right, hit some of the last shows at the end of the year with it. If we don't, no hard feelings.

Speaker 4: Just always next year.

Speaker 3: You guys will see it as one of the first cars that come out in the beginning of the year once we hit our February show. Because I have news

for you guys, February is gonna come around very quickly.

I cannot believe we're already rushing very very quickly into the end of the summer. Before you know it, it

hits October, and then Christmas is right on the way.

So it's gonna go by fast. Trust me. Seema for

Us is right around the corner. We're already, Like I said,

we've been planning for months now for our semi trip in Vegas. If you guys are gonna be out at

Seema in Vegas, come look us up. We'll be out

there like we all usually are. You can't miss us.

You're gonna see the cameras. You're gonna see us. We'll

be doing an interview, So stop in, say hi and do me a favor. Don't do anything in front of

the camera like y'all did last year. We can't put

it that. Can't go on the air. I know y'all

think it's funny. Can't go on the air. Nope, cameras

are they're going no, because Zach what I'm talking about. So, yeah,

what we're filming. Love it like hanging out with you

guys and talking to you guys, But yeah, I gotta be careful what you're doing. In front of the cameras

because yeah, it'll never make the air.

Speaker 2: I don't let it.

Speaker 3: You can't don't let it. But yeah, we will be

on semens. So hope we see you guys out there.

So anyway, back to white noise, I told you guys that we had planned on possibly tubbing the car. I've

decided to go ahead move forward with that. And there's

reason why. I want the car to have a certain

stance and a certain look. Nathaniel and Cameron want the

car to have a certain look and stance to it, and we kind of want it down in the weeds.

We want it low, and the only way that's gonna happen is to tub that car. And on top of that,

I may have to do a little modifications to the front wheels as well to make that work. So the

car gna sit as low as I want to, but I want it to have a nice, mean stance to it, and the only way that's going to accomplish is to do some metal work. I don't have the metal work stuff.

I don't do it. I have a little bit of knowledge,

I've done some metal work in the past, but I don't have all the equipment to do it, and I think I told you guys before, I don't desire to own any of it because I don't want to store it.

So it's gonna have to go to somebody and they're gonna have to do it. I've reached out a couple

different people, think of a zeroed in on who's going to do it here in the area. I'll let you

guys know how that works out and what we decide on it. But yeah, so that's gonna be the first thing.

Second thing, I was going to leave the motor alone because the motor was pretty wicket. It's in the car.

It's nice little set up. It's nothing like super duper

insanely fast, but it's got a nice motor. It was

set up for drag racing stuff, and it's more than probably really what we need.

Speaker 2: We're working on the letter now, we are.

Speaker 3: Yeah, your brother, I've been talking about it. So we're

gonna do probably something in the motor. I don't know,

you know, I'm it's going to put a turbo kid on it. I don't know, but we'll see what ends

up happening. Which way we go. It really depends on

dollar and cents for the car because now we're gonna get up in the value of the car. So you know,

originally we picked this thing up. I picked up as

a good price. We're gonna throw what I say is

a little money at it and make it a nice driver, fun play toy. But if I start doing more of

this stuff to it, now we're talking about putting real money into the car. I mean, let alone, just the

wheels alone for the car are probably almost ten grand.

So you know, now it's got some money and wheels in it. And now if you're gonna tub it's got

all that metal work done to it, and that's gonna be more money. And now we're gonna play with the motor,

and that's gonna be more money. Before you know it,

my little simple, twenty five thousand dollars car that was gonna make a play toy be somewhere probably in the sixty to seventy range by every time everything's said and done, so.

Speaker 4: Still be a play toy.

Speaker 3: Yeah, a play though, But yeah, you guys know how this works. You guys have done this bunch of times

for people build car. I can never leave well enough alone.

I know you guys can't either, because we talk about it all the time. When I run you guys at

car shows, it's I don't know. It starts off something simple.

It was good like said, it's gonna be a very simple project, a very simple, low, low budget build car that is still going back into the y. Yeah, so

our our our truck is headed. So if you guys

that know Old Blue is sitting out in front of the barn, uh waiting its turn, it is going in.

It may not go exactly next. So yes, you guys

can send me the messages and say debut light. There's

a couple things I think. I I all right, So

the bad Am is I told you guys, parts came in which T had time to throw the parts on it put it back on wheels. But it is ready

to be put back on wheels as long as everything works.

I think I want to spray the firewall on it to match the paint before I dropped the motor and it.

I wasn't originally going to do that.

Speaker 2: I know we talked about.

Speaker 3: I was going to leave the firewall on the bad Am, just the regular color standard black on the back. But

I think I'm gonna go ahead and have it painted.

And since the engine's already out of the way. I

think I'm gonna roll over to the boys, let them go ahead and sprayed out and do the firewall, and then then the Chevy truck will go in and get begin it's work. But yes, it's already on the schedule

of Old Blue is going to go in and get completely redone. If you guys don't know the story on

Old Blue, it's a truck that was my basically daily driver that I raised my kids in, and pretty cool little truck, little five to seven shortbed truck.

Speaker 2: We learn that.

Speaker 3: I tell them how to drive truck. Everything I sold it.

We managed to get the truck back. We have it,

and I've one to do something cool to it. That's

another thing that's probably going to sit down on the weeds and gonna have a lot of horsepower thrown at it just to make it a fun truck as well.

I already have a motor built for that truck that can go into it. I think that's probably what it's

going to get, even though it has a fairly brand new stock Chevy three pot fifty in it that came out of the dealership. We put a dealership short block

in it years ago before I sold it, but it only had I think he's only put three thousand miles on the truck since we sold it and we got back, which I.

Speaker 2: Take the short block out, put it on the show.

Speaker 3: I'm gonna take a complete engine out and probably just going to drop this souped up motor I have sitting there.

We're going to drop in it that is already ready to probably do a turbo system on it because it was set up for that originally. So I think that's

probably what we're gonna do it. But keep an eye

off of that because, like I said that, we're excited to get that one started. I'm really kind of hoping

that it's almost gonna kind of go around the same horn that we did with this one. I can drop

it in and within about the next month and maybe have it back within about four or five months. So

that's that is the plan for it. A little bit more.

There's not a lot of bodywork to use it on it, but it's it was. It was a shop truck, so

it's got its little dents and dings and stuff that it got being a shop truck. And it's a farm truck,

and then it became a farm truck. So it's it's

definitely seen. It's it's it's trip around the world for sure.

So but I want to bring it back to something really nice. I want to put a pretty cool page

job on it. Like I said, I want to soup

it up, make a cool, just little it's probably gonna be it's gonna be our hot rod shop truck for the Mega garage based you know what I mean. It's

gonna be something we're gonna use it to if we need to hold parts or whatever and stuff like that, we can. But I do kind of want to. I

think I want to do something custom in the bed as well, So I got to figure out how I make all that work. I wanted to have something nice

in the bed but still make it or still functional, So I got to figure out how that all comes together.

I got some ideas. Nathaniel and I were arguing about

it earlier this week, but some of the ideas I had.

I still think one of the cool ideas I had would work. Nathaniel thinks maybe it won't work, and I

think we come to a compromise. But I wanted to.

You guys want what you guys see this idea Nathana was already giving me the mug face over there. You

guys can't see them off camera. I thought it'd be neat. Okay,

So you know trucks have wood wood beds, right, I like the wood beds, and Cameron loves trucks.

Speaker 4: You just wait then I like them.

Speaker 3: So I like them. I think it's cool. Now, did

our truck come with one? No, our truck's too new.

It wouldn't had a wood bed in it. But I

thought it'd be kind of cool to do something.

Speaker 2: In it, like the whole bed.

Speaker 3: Wood isn't No, no, so no, no, that's no. I

would never do.

Speaker 4: I hate he seed throw some hardware.

Speaker 3: And what I wanted to do was I saw I came, I don't know, the deep dive looking at weird things online, and I didn't know you could buy you skateboard decks.

They're already used. Okay, follow me here, give me funny looks.

It's okay. I saw you skateboard decks and they store

the pictures on the back side of them, you know what I mean. They're kind of scuffed up and stuff,

but they stole the pictures. I thought it'd be neat

to buy, like I don't know, sixty or seven of them and cut them down and make wood planks out of them, and then it'd be just different skateboard decks for the wood planks make up the bet of the truck.

I just thought that'd be kind of meat.

Speaker 2: It would be cool, but we'd have to throw in like some used ones from like the pro skaters, like Turn.

Speaker 3: It was like, you know, it was gonna be all like name brand, like high end name brand boards that are used they have the pictures on the back of that as what I was thinking, and I was gonna send them out to have the boards put to, you know, the decks put together, make planks, make the wood planks out to use it for the bet. I thought it'd

be kind of different and neat. Nathaniel kind of went, uh,

I don't know which I get it because I've never seen it done. And maybe if I I'm sure, it's

gonna would cost some money to have those planks made, and then what happens if you don't like it? Stuff

like that, So then we can.

Speaker 4: Define a cool idea and I will do that.

Speaker 3: I you know, I think it'd be a cool idea.

And then Nathaniel and I were like, what if we take the boards and we have a picture like burnt into the wood, and then when you slide the boards and it makes the picture in the bed, maybe that too, I don't know, like we're gonna comp with something. I

don't know. Camera doesn't like that either.

Speaker 2: He's like, that's cool, that's cool too, But I would I mean the used boards I do think is cool, but I think it would be cool as well as like with the picture like Nate recommended, and then you also threw in some boards like used boards, like out of the pro competition stuff.

Speaker 3: All the boards would be I don't think you say what right?

Speaker 4: I think boards?

Speaker 3: You think I'm gonna use.

Speaker 2: Like I'm talking about, like like what's that one competition called?

I don't I don't think that means yeah, X games, Like it'd be cool if you got like some want to find that many games pro people and then.

Speaker 3: Tons of boards are used boards. They come in, they're blanks.

They just stay there stacked with pictures on them that we use them and donat or they get your idea.

Speaker 5: But you're going to ruin the boards anyways when you come down and make planks out of them. So you're

not like you could say, oh, this was owned by so and so, But I mean what you're gonna pay for it and you're just gonna, you know, kind of damage it.

Speaker 2: The bed floor used used? Are you going to make

like the tail gate?

Speaker 3: No?

Speaker 4: No, no, no no.

Speaker 3: I don't want a wooden tailgate. I wanted to be

a truck complete wood. But just so we're all clear,

I don't like when you take the bed off a truck and replace it with like a planked bed would bed.

I don't understand that. Yeah, I never understand. I talk

about they take the whole bed of the truck off, not just tail gate, and they made a whole wooden bed.

I just always I see it done a lot of trucks.

I know people think it's just like if it's your stock's let me be your stock. It's not my style.

Speaker 2: And then my question will also would be would be like, if you're going to put use the wood decks, are you also going to put the metal trim through the middle.

Speaker 3: Or you have to okay, because that's the way it might look. I know that's want to be something different.

I will call it something maybe I won't do what you're.

Speaker 5: As like's covered with in and do like a resin floor type of deal. What do you mean like you're

talking about like are you talking about just like like between each and you're gonna do a metal t if you know, if.

Speaker 3: I thought so. I one of the things I thought

would be kind of different was if I h you've seen resin boards where they do like the wood and they pour the raisin and they it's clear you could take a bunch of Chevy trucks and put them in the resin and then resing them in so you're looking down it's like a landscape and you're looking at it like trucks in It would be something different to different ideas.

I mean, I mean, I don't know what I'm gonna do.

All I know is we're gonna do something. I know

that the truck has to be has to be cut up for me to get a little lower down as low as I want the truck decks.

Speaker 6: There's a lot of techs are like with the little wheels and stuff, you know, and put them in there.

Speaker 2: That would be cool.

Speaker 3: Just the truck is it's cameracross the sea. Ten it's

it's it's a ninety four. I mean, it's it's it's

it's an obs. But I understand what he said this

last show cars. No, No, it's you know so. But

I wanted something that kind of threw homage to early nines, late eighties, early nineties something. So I was trying to

think about what to do. I mean, if anything, you

could just take the boards and just you know, do paint across all the different boards and then go ahead and seal it up and just be splashed paint across all the boards.

Speaker 2: That would be you also, because you do like doing art, I do, that would.

Speaker 3: Be Yeah, that would be something would probably look cool if it was done in the right blues and stuff like that. Because the truck's blue. It'll be kind of

cool for the Florida you.

Speaker 4: Have to carry it.

Speaker 2: Thought about you wanted itself. I know we were talking

about we could probably redo that bed, but have you thought about just getting a complete new bed?

Speaker 3: And no, I think it is I think I did.

You could just come with the idea just literally right.

I think what if I did that and then we carried it into the fenders inside the truck and all the fenders were done the same way like the inner fender.

Speaker 5: Well, right, well, do the same thing. But I was like,

I know you want to go show car style. You

know I'm saying this be more like artistic style.

Speaker 3: I would definitely show car stop. I had to show

it to you, guys, we might have come up with the idea. Hold on, I gotta course of break win.

Speaker 1: Welcome back to Let's Talk Cars Radio. You're Automotive specialist.

Now back to your host, Dave Polach.

Speaker 3: Welcome back, guys. I don't even know what that was.

During the commercial break, you had to listen to it.

There was Cara Cameron isms. That's what I'm gonna call him,

Camera Cameron isms. He was giving us his wise advice. No,

if you're on a turtle. If you guys didn't catch

that last segment. I think we came up. We might

call it an idea of what we're gonna do with blue.

I think we're gonna check that out and see what we think of that idea. I think had like three

more months to the Yeah, it would be pretty good.

What do you think I think it would be.

Speaker 5: A good idea, Like you said, like a paint splatter, would you know theme you just you know, throw it on some wood planks and you know, metal frame, right.

Speaker 2: I think I think my idea was doing the resin thing is cool too, you know, taking like tech decks.

I said, you know, since it's our family cards like taking, because we grew up with if you're going to do the skateboards, it would be cool to do the tech deck wheels and like little like things.

Speaker 6: I say, skateboard idea, Okay, Well, still.

Speaker 2: Put in stuff in the resin, you know, like from our childlhood, and.

Speaker 3: I think if we take it because late eighties early nineties, it was a lot of splash paint design and stuff like that was on a lot of different things. It

was on shirts, all kinds stuff I took. If you

took that and incorporated that in the truck. I think

would actually look pretty good if it was done on the right colors and stuff, and that we kind of and it wouldn't be that hard to pull off.

Speaker 4: I mean I also thought, like a sticker bomb a picture.

Speaker 3: Let's see that's a skateboard style.

Speaker 2: That's a skateboard style.

Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, yeah, so yeah, that would be that would be technically what you were talking.

Speaker 3: Splash paint ideas. So it comes up like blues, greens,

stuff like that. See what I come up with Cameron's

using his generators ai generator full up ideas.

Speaker 5: I mean, I even think like a sticker bomb would kind of look kind of cool because it's close to like, you know, a paint.

Speaker 3: You're right, yeah, if but you would have to reson it afterwards.

Speaker 4: Well, I mean you're reson at all anyway.

Speaker 3: Resident nothing, but yeah, you would have to find the right stickers from.

Speaker 2: That era said blue green, what other color? Red?

Speaker 3: You throw a little gold in there, a little yellow on there. I don't know, see see what it comes

up with something like that. But no, I mean that

would work, sicker muhamed if you had the right stickers from the right air. But that would that would kind

of work too. I don't know. Like, so we'll come

up with the idea, we'll come I don't know, Look two weeks from now, we may come up with a completely different idea. That's just the way we work. We'll

sit there and talk things through before we know what.

The idea of morphs into different things. Because at one

point in Tom I thought that truck would look cool it was done up in Notre Dame colors because of the blue it is. The blue is like almost like

the Notre Dame blue. And I was like, man, you

do it up in the door door Dame clothes that kind of with gold and blue stuff like that. It'd

be really hot in that truck too. And we've kind

of leaned a little bit away from that. So I

don't know. Anyway, new topic. You guys know that tuning,

doing a lot of tuning is to cars is pretty risky.

Not really, Well, yeah it is, but that's not where I was going at first. It's it's just part of

the new way. If you have anything that has a

computer or it needs to be tuned and you're messing around with it, it's just the new way of doing things, right, especially if you have what two thousand and nine and up.

I mean, you could be probably a little older than that.

But I'm thinking about when I start seeing people really start messing with tunes and stuff on cars, and it takes something and knows what they're doing. I can do

small tunes on cars. That's as far as my knowledge goes.

You want to start getting into like crazy stuff, nep can't do it, and it's just not my cup of tea.

I have friends that do do it, and you know how to do it, and I'll take it to them because that's what they do. I mean, I got a

friend that writes complete programs, you know, for your car.

You'll write a whole program for you and it'll run and run great. And then even he's been limited on

what he does and he wanted to go bigger and better, and he sends it to the next guy. He knows

it does more than he you know, knows more than he does. But one of the things we've run into,

you know, within the last couple of years, or cars being locked, there's not a whole lot of stuff you could do. There wasn't a lot of technology. It seems

like we're starting to move past that a little bit.

I saw that this week. They were talking about that.

Now Nates Mustang that's locked has been you know, it can be jail break. Now you can break it, and

they're starting to play around with it, and so far, I mean they've I mean literally they just peak Pandora's box open a little bit, and they've already managed to find thirty extra horsepower and twenty pounds more torquing it just opening the boxes a little bit.

Speaker 4: There's pretty decent.

Speaker 3: Well, but I mean think about it, most bolt on things that you buy nowadays, as about all you're getting out of a you know, out of bolton thing you spend what twelve thirteen hundred bucks for, and that's all right horsepower?

Speaker 2: Think about it right when they start actually unlocking it, and then they start creating the tunes for where you can start doing boltons to it, you know, and in like stage two, stage three parts, you're probably going to get some horses out of that thing.

Speaker 3: I mean, well, I told you, you know, you guys hear me talk about it all the time. It's com

the show the guy that builds the Mustangs out of Ohio at the dealership at a good price, at a great price. I mean that guy. They've been playing around

some things and making some crazy and horsepower numbers out of these cars, so I know they must have pretty much already figured out how to do the tunes on it and stuff. But I mean, eleven hundred horsepower, you

know what I mean on a on a Mustang that you buy from the dealership and they're already give it to you out the door with that. I mean, that's well,

they're in the same numbers, you know. I saw something

the other day that guy was talking about the Mustang with the right setup and the right parts, and he didn't really go into what they were. He's like, you know,

you realize these these things are capable of like fifteen hundred horsepower really easily. And I'm like, oh, that's you know,

do you really want to be right right?

Speaker 4: Do you know?

Speaker 3: Okay? So I know I got a lot of Dodge

you know, fans listening to show and stuff like that, But did you guys know what was it? The is

it the arse? Are someone's gonna be the last Dodge

Viper that they made? I think that's it's an RC

something whatever it was, it was the last one. Do

you know that thing when you start throwing like twin turbos that you know what the horsepower rating is on that car if you put like a twin turbo kid on it, take a guess. We're talking this is a

street car.

Speaker 4: I was guessing like twelve hundred maybe can what's your guess?

Speaker 2: Well, from like once you start putting it on.

Speaker 3: Yeah, you put like twin turbo on a Viper on the the last Viper they made, and they do they do.

That's what my guess would be. They're getting like three

thousand horsepower out of those cars.

Speaker 4: You're never getting that.

Speaker 2: It was a fifth generation v X. I.

Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's R it's got like an r C something.

I'm not. I'm not s RT No, it's not. It's

I'm not the big Viper guy. I don't. I mean,

I'll be the first one. My my Viper knowledge is

very small, guys. But I remember it. It was the

Viper R. I want to say it was r CR,

but isn't that what that's roups racings or something like that.

But I want to say it's our something. It's it's

it's got it. It's got an R and I can't remember.

Somebody's gonna send me the message and tell me I can't for life ACR. Maybe that's what it is you're

talking about that.

Speaker 2: ACR trims and the GtC trims.

Speaker 3: Maybe that's say you guys, tell me if I'm wrong.

But like I said, I saw, like I saw this whole thing right up about it. And they're like, man,

you throw twin turbo kids in the right two and stuff like that, and these guys have got like three thousand horsepower all these cars. Like I said, not that

you're probably ever gonna put that to the street, all right, but how cool is it?

Speaker 4: I mean, how long does that last?

Speaker 7: For?

Speaker 2: Who cares?

Speaker 3: How many?

Speaker 4: How many passes are you getting with.

Speaker 3: That kind of money into a viper? First of all,

it's a viper. Yeah, did you put that kind of

money a viper? Do you really care? I mean it's

like so when we went to when we went to Seama that year, that guy had that twin turbo kit, huge turbos. One of the things were like seventy eight

millimeters turbos or something like that hook to a laborghini.

Remember that one that happened? I mean there was I

think we figured it. We sat and we looked at

the car, itself probably had almost one hundred and fifty two hundred thousand dollars worth of mods to it, and we hadn't bought the car yet. I mean, so do

you you know that guy didn't care? I mean, but

then we sat there and we looked at it and we were like, man, you know, you're this thing's never going to make traction. There's no way it's remember the conversations.

But I was like, but how cool did it look?

I mean, he had them the turbos were all I want to say that they had like that copper color to them. They were they were, they were you know,

I don't know what they did to them. I would

almost want to say they put him like, you know, in a machine or something like that and and tumbled them into different colors or whatever, and it got used a chmical reaction. But they all looked like they were

like bright polished copper, like almost like almost like not say copper or brass whatever. So and I remember it,

but they did that as the whole trim through the motor and it was really cool. But I mean, looking

at it, you had respected and then was it was it?

Last year we saw the guy. Remember the guy that

had the blower and it was all scribed metal, scribed with design and I feel like that one. I mean

that was probably twenty thirty thousand dollars worth of work just done in that scribing that on that on the engine.

But it was cool. Well it was a piece of

it looked like a piece of jewelry sitting inside the car, and that's what stood out to me. I got a

picture of it. I'll post at some point if you

guys remember I posted it when we saw it. I

saw a picture of it. I think it stood in

my phone just neat and then I saw that I saw that car at Sema and then I saw it pop up. I don't want to see it pop up

with a good Guy show too. Two different shows that

popped up that we saw it at. But I remember

the car. And then I saw like six months later,

I saw a snapchat or something like that that or TikTok what videos or whatever they are, and it was that car and it was driving down the street I think in like California or something like that, and I instantly remembered the car because for what it was, it was all gold plated, it was scribed metal and designs like that just looked like a big piece of joey and it was a neat car. So I think what

I'm thinking about building things, I start thinking about carrying that.

What's going to be cool to carry into a car, you know what I mean. So when people start talking

about doing crazy things to Mustangs and all the tuning in them and adding all these parts, like now that you jail break, like I'm using the Mustang as the example, think about the possibilities. Now you can really start to

tune that thing towards superchargers, you can really parts on it and stuff like that. It can now be tuned

to those parts. And everybody's like, well, I know, guy,

it's got a twenty twenty four. He's got twin turbo

kid on it. Okay, cool, But more time I'm not

using the full talk about actually doing full capability on it and doing it all right, you know, I mean, and doing it the way it should be. Now you

can really start to play with things and now down that in and that's going to be really crazy because you gotta remember, we've gone through this several times on cars where you couldn't do anything with them, and then once they finally you could you just saw these crazy numbers started to come out, and I think that's probably what you're going to run into with this. So I'm

excited for people to own one and sky For Nathaniel, if you'll ever get around to, you know, doing something to his we can just gotta get wheels and tires on.

I mean that'd be like the biggest hurdle for him right this second. Let's put some wheels and tires. And

I joke him all the time he does, I'm like, uh, your mustling is really cool. It wasn't for a stock musting,

So those are not the words I chose and I gave when I said it to him.

Speaker 2: Send your sponsorships to Let's Talk Cars Radio.

Speaker 3: If you're listening and you want to set a cool set of wheels and tires and the thanel for him to try out and do a product review on it.

I'm sure he'd appreciate it, because, uh, if not, he'll find some way to wheel them take care of him.

Speaker 4: But I never curved the wheel before.

Speaker 3: He said he sent me a picture of a set that looks really nice on his car, and I don't know who they're made by, but they are. I forget yeah,

they are. They are. They're hot. If any if anybody's

putting anything on his car, you should definitely do that set up on the car because it looks good and it's the right I think the picture he sent me the same color kiss car is with those wheels on it, so it actually pairs up. So I don't know, maybe

in the future and daniell finally getround putting set of wheels on it, and then he doesn't like to take it right now the car shows because like, well, damn, dad is stock. He's like, I haven't really done anything

to it. He's like, I don't know. Why might I

taking a car show. I'm like, I don't know, because

you know you bought your stuff a pretty cool car, and you know you should be enjoying it. I shall

be enjoyed it more if we put wheels on it.

He'll enjoys more. You guys to us what you think,

Like I said, if you got to set a wheels, you know you want to send our away. You guys

know where to find us. Let me take quick course

of break. When I go back, I got more for

Witlow and Sons Incorporated. Welcome back to Let's Talk Cars Radio.

You're automotive specialist. Now back to your host Dave Pilach.

Speaker 3: Hey, guys, welcome back So here's one for you. Did

you guys see the article in the time capsule. I've

seen a lot of artills on timecast time capsule. A

couple of weeks ago, I got, I got, we ran out of time to talk about on one of the shows and stuff, but it popped back up a conversation again this week. So if you guys didn't see, there

was a time capsule that it's in Sea Sea where Nebraska, I believe, is what the article was that was sent to me. And they had made a time a large

time capsule where they put a Vega Chevy Vega in the time capsule. I think, I mean they put a

they put a car in it. It had a Kavasaki

motorcycle in it, and I guess then they packed the car with stuff from that air inside of it.

Speaker 2: Not to do it from your story, but that's just like that one time capsule when they bagged up that whole time capsule and then they opened it up and the car was completely ruined.

Speaker 3: So hold on, and what he's talking about is miss Belvedere, I believe his name of the car, and that's where they put the Belvedere in it, and they sold raffle tickets to somebody to win that car, and they sold all those raffle tickets way back then when they put the car on what in the fifty like nineteen fifty eight or whatever it was, when they put the car on the time capsule yep, and then what was it ten years ago or whatever, they decided to open the time capsule and the everybody who I guess had a ticket to go in the car or whatever came and the car was completely destroyed. Now that car is being restored.

Last I saw, Yeah, they're restoring that car.

Speaker 2: Yeah, And they opened up the time capsule and it was coming.

Speaker 3: You've never seen if you've never seen pictures of it.

You want to talk about something going horribly wrong for like a giveaway slash, I mean, great, idea, awesome, I think great.

Speaker 4: Great.

Speaker 3: It was the time capsule filled with water, so the car basically sat submerged in water for all those years.

Speaker 2: Yeah, they even put plastic around it.

Speaker 3: They did it.

Speaker 2: Apparently it was really bad, bad apparent.

Speaker 3: Apparently this one didn't have that problem. Really Apparently this one,

this stuff was salvageable, which is kind of cool. But

I got to think. I was like, hey, is there

any more that we don't know about? Number is my

first question, which I have a feeling there is. This

niece cannot be the only two cars you're ever put in a time capsule. Start digging it that we've only

we've heard about undiscovered. Well, no, I mean were discovered.

The US is a big area. You just don't you

know what I mean, Like I grew I okay, So going back, I grew up in some smaller towns, guys, where we were cut off from like most civilizations.

Speaker 4: We just digs on the ground.

Speaker 3: We were cut off from like mainstream news. Like we

didn't have these things, right, I mean, we didn't have cell phones, and we didn't you know, you didn't have the newspapers. Your news, like your news was small town

gossip and then whatever the newspaper in your area showed and people talked about the weather, you know. And I

tell you, guys this, go look up the tag. When

I was a very small kid, I grew up in uh North Aurora, Aurora area. So and they were small towns,

I mean, and that that was just the news. When

was the last time you guys seen a newspaper? Nobody

was right, nobody was talking about like what we talked about news now because we didn't have that, so the news was small. So I very much believe that there's

more time capsules out there with more cars in it that just they never made it mainstream news, you know.

I mean, it still has it because no one's opened it up yet or whatever it is. You mean. I

I just believe that'd be the case. But like I said,

I got to think, and like, if we're to do a time capsule, now, what do you think, like car related stuff whatever? I mean, it has a lot of

stuff in it. They put like your favorite albums, all

that kind of stuff all went it kind of in there in the time castle. But what would be the

car to put in it? Now? Like the car that.

Speaker 2: New car or or car that way.

Speaker 3: Okay, so let's just say you decided, okay, this year we're going to start a time capsule, right, what car do you take now right now and put in the time capsule?

Speaker 5: And maybe more like a common car, I mean, because you're now depending like a supercar and.

Speaker 3: You're not gonna put supercar in it. But maybe if

you've decided to do a muscle car, just America, because you're in America. We're not talking about supercars. Would you

put a muscle car in it? Or would you take

it just a cool car? I don't think anybody.

Speaker 4: I don't think anybody's like.

Speaker 3: Okay, ivoluntary to give their muscle car away to be there.

First of all, they didn't dealerships skate these cars up. Okay,

I got all those cars went out, they were supplied by We were probably like whoever was doing it bought it and then put it in there.

Speaker 2: I think we would probably take the Dodge Demon and put it in there.

Speaker 3: Okay. So I got to think about this, and I

don't completely disagree with you. I thought, and I thought

it probably not being a musting. But I was getting

ready to say, I say, cool car. There's not a

lot of cars out there that I think are cool's.

Let's you know, like I look at cars and I'm sorry, guys, cars to me nowadays are just kind of black. I

mean they start like you go back and you look at cars from the sixties and the seventies, even though they weren't like the muscle car of that, they're cool for their they were still cool for they were they were you know what I mean? Now, I kind of

look at cars and I just go it was like one of those things, right, It's like you go to stop light and everything looks the same.

Speaker 2: If we were talking about like basic basic cars, you know, there'd be two cars that would probably put in the time caps would be from now from now? Okay, right,

I probably you guys are gonna jerk me for this.

I'd probably put a Toyota camera in there, you know, it.

Speaker 3: Would make sense to be a certain degree. And I

thought about that the second.

Speaker 2: Cars where you guys are gonna jerk me. I put

a niss On Ultima and everybody's like.

Speaker 3: What everybody has one?

Speaker 2: Everybody?

Speaker 3: Everybody makes sense because everybody had one.

Speaker 2: I kind of want to see, like from what what our basic car would be in like twenty years, you know, watch it be like a super.

Speaker 3: Everybody question now right, I hope this question now shortly into a small little uh you know, answer blog thing and believe it or do you can you this probably shouldn't shock anybody. H camer was mentioned, but it was

nothing like the number one pick. Do you know what

the number one pick was?

Speaker 2: Kia?

Speaker 4: Nope, no, no, it wasn't k number one pick.

Speaker 3: The number one pick for a car. What do you

think it was.

Speaker 4: Trying to blame how this should.

Speaker 3: Be easy because it's it's a it's a i'll give you, I'll give you an it's a hate it car.

Speaker 2: Ultimately, those people really hate this, can Santa Fe Nope, I'm gonna get so much hate mail because there's anything like, Man, I want to.

Speaker 4: Let you have the hook on it, because I'm trying to blank.

Speaker 3: Of people said put a Tesla in there. Really yeah, yeah,

they like put a Tesla in it because it covers current things in the news, right right. It is a

car of this error. So it had a little bit

of everything. It had controversy, it had a car from

the era it had. It kind of made sense. It

wouldn't matter. I mean, look, look what everything that's going

on with Tesla. Look everything that's going on with with

Elon Mussels, everything everything. So it makes sense to you

when I just put like just regular, just one of the cars. It ain't got to be their sports car

or anything like that. Just put one of the cars,

and it made sense to me. The camera made sense

to me because camri Bean so long number the number one car and STFF like that. That made sense huh.

Speaker 2: Would the battery even last?

Speaker 3: Well, I don't think that's the point though.

Speaker 4: It'd be like a show a show piece.

Speaker 3: Yeah, it would be. I mean, what do you think, Yeah.

Speaker 5: I mean Tesla, Like I understand the point on it.

I don't think that's probably the best car to you know, put as a time capsule, right, I mean, I'm trying to think of though it does like like you said, controversy in the news, you know, the future upgrades that probably contact we are.

Speaker 3: Now to where we could be in twenty three forty years now.

Speaker 5: I still think that electric cars are still so new that it doesn't you know. I guess you're thinking like

just like right like this year per se like cars rise.

But I was saying something like more like like you said a little more you know, loved upon that you know, really made market.

Speaker 2: You do kind of just say something though like that wouldn't make it make sense. It is kind of still

new to us. You know, it's not new, but it.

Speaker 3: Is still even technology side, here's where we are with what is current technology, that's where we are. That made

sense in that That's.

Speaker 2: Why I would be like, so it is kind of new still because people are still kind of getting people are used to it, but they're still kind of sense.

Speaker 3: So it's like you want to pick a loved car, right.

I can't think of any car that's a just overly loved car right this second. I mean, if you guys can,

please let me know if I'm missing it and I can't think of it. I cannot think of one car

out there everybody goes Man where everybody goes. I love

that car. I love that car. Now you could have

I'm y'all are gonna steal last time I talked about this.

I got the messages. But if it was the right error,

I would say, you put the Caprice in there, because the Caprice, I'm sorry. Caprice was a loved card. I mean,

it was used for so many different things. It just

was everybody loved it. I'll give you another one that

you guys cannot argue with me. If we went back

to like nineteen eighty seven, you put a Buick century in there.

Speaker 4: Century people make sense. People make sense.

Speaker 3: Everybody everybody's mom, grandma, everybody had a Buick century. It

seemed like rather it was the wagon or the sedan.

Somebody had a buick century. You don't see them anymore.

I saw one two months ago or something like that.

I was like a bug century someone still got one.

Speaker 2: But yeah, it was a.

Speaker 3: I mean, you don't see where you're going. But if

you're gonna do that, you might as well just go ahead.

Put a Honda cord. And if you're put in a

Honda cord, you put a camera. It's almost right, I mean,

that's what you're doing. I mean, I get it. I

don't know. I almost got to agree and say the

Tesla was the best choice to put in there, just for the reasons, like I said, because of technology, technology, the controversy over the car, the technology side of showing technology there. I mean, I think, I know you are

going to sell me hate. It happens every time I.

Speaker 4: Think you get away with trucks to though, even.

Speaker 3: Like in there, Okay, sure, I started to wait for the truck. I stayed away from the trucks for a reason.

Speaker 2: I know, Elon, I'll send them a message message, we can put it, we'll.

Speaker 5: Get together, we'll have it, but we'll do technically, definitely, he's already stay one in the space.

Speaker 3: So that was the same thing, right.

Speaker 4: The time cast is already flowing around.

Speaker 2: Technically that is a time cap. So I mean, whatever

happened to.

Speaker 3: That aud they're flying around to look up.

Speaker 4: It's like they're supposed to make its way back as some maybe I don't know.

Speaker 6: I don't think that's the way that works unless it tries to come back and that and I love Tesla. Okay,

so I think we're still three to show up, just in case you were. I know you're real busy right now.

Speaker 3: But you know, just in case you find a little free time and you can box those things up and send them to us. We are still waiting. They're supposed

to show up and they just did not know what happened.

They got lost in the.

Speaker 4: Mail, still off for delivery.

Speaker 3: That's still out for delivery. Oh you just pushing those

buttons this week, aren't you?

back to Let's Talk Cars Radio. You're automotive specialist. Now

back to your host, Dave Polach.

Speaker 3: Hey, guys, So I've told you guys over and over again about my uh, deep deep dark sea. It's of

scrolling marketplace late at night, your obsession. It was like

even your obsession, it's a dangerous place. I'm not gonna lie.

It is a very dangerous place if you are a car guy. I've told you guys to go scrolling. Definitely

don't scroll late at night.

Speaker 2: What's the nic.

Speaker 3: It's funny? Keep here, like, what are you looking at there,

I'm like, sh you see nothing. But I did scroll

across and I'll be wanting to admit somebody led me in the right direction and said, hey, you need to go check this out. There is a Ferrari F forty

on marketplace for sale right now. It's not a real one,

not a kick car, five million dollar one, like five million dollars. It's gonna be like the asking. It's an

amazing price, right I'm sign ups the name too.

Speaker 5: There was a gentleman who did something recently, not recently, but a couple of years back where he got a loan and he made a business proposition where.

Speaker 4: He like rented it out or you know, he like did like side of.

Speaker 3: The car or marketplace.

Speaker 5: No, the car, Like he he bought like a like a couple of million dollar car, and then he used as a business proposition and he like rented out for shows or you know, like he took it to events and you know, and he kind of recouped his money there.

Speaker 4: I don't know how well he did on it.

Speaker 3: I have a friend that I will leave nameless because I think he wants to be left nameless because he owns a business and he has luxury cars.

Speaker 5: He's got about that years ago, about like only like an exotic car dealership.

Speaker 3: Now he's given me the the ins and outs of doing it. Now he doesn't. He no longer rents where

you can go and you can drive him and all that kind of stuff.

Speaker 4: Right, he has like an individual.

Speaker 3: Yeah, he's just he's doing that very bad. Yeah. They

did work out for him very well in that manner.

So he started with that. He had some nice he

had Aberghini at Ara. I think he had tw Laborghinis

in a Ferrari. He had a lot of nice vets

and stuff like that that we had nice stuff to and they weren't stock, they were nice, but he had a lot of I think at one point in time he had a Brigotti. I don't think that lasts very long.

But he was renting you could run them, and he ran them for big money. I guess depends on what

you call big money. But you know it was right,

and he was able to recoup some of his money for purchasing and stuff like that. But then the cars

start to get a little tore up because people everybody who wants to drive a Laborghini probably shouldn't be really honest with you, guys, and I have been honest about it with you guys. I have had the luxury of

driving a lot of really nice exotic cars. I've done supercars,

I've done hypercar. You know, I've been had the chance

behind the wheel of some really nice stuff in my life, and I can tell you that I don't think any of them, particularly are for me to own, if that makes sense. And I'm a car guy, I think I

told you guys, Kuntash is a very hard car to drive.

I was so ecstitic when I had the opportunity to drive one. It's not a fun car to drive. It

just isn't. If you, guys, I've ever been behind the

wheel one, you've sat down and drove one. Those who

really have been in one and drove it will one.

Most likely, I'm going to say ninety percent will agree with me. The other ten percent is just gonna argue

to argue they're not a comfortable car to drive. They

are cool as can be. They are at the top.

You guys know the list of car I would love to have, and I explained to you a reason why I won't own one. But I still think they're cool.

But I had this big, huge, I think play in my head of what it was going to be like, what it was going to be like, and it's it's it is a very cool car, and you do feel like the biggest baller on earth when you're driving it.

I ain't gonna lie, But it's not a fun car to drive. It's it's it's not a driver's car. It's

worked to drive a Kuontash. There's a lot of work

in Paul to drive that car.

Speaker 4: It's more work.

Speaker 3: Is it's more work. You are paranoid number one when

you drive it because what now? What the prices are

on them? And that was I drove it before the

prices really drove it to what it is now. So

that's the problem. I drove a lot of different Ferraris

in my lifetime. I've never drove an F forty. Yeah,

but I'd love to, but I never have. But I

drove a lot. I drove quite a few tesse rosas,

some benches, and I can't tell you all the different numbers, but I drove quite a few of the three oh five's, uh what the three point fifty, the GTB. I've drove

one of those I told you, guys, I worked for an auction house when I was a very young man, still in my teens, and got to drive a lot of those because they were stupid enough to give us the keys to them and let us drive them to bring them from where they were stored into the auction And of course, like I told you, that turned kind of into racetrack more than anything else. But I like said, so,

there are some cars I've driven, but once I drove them, I was just like, I don't you know, I don't think i'd ever want to own this thing.

Speaker 2: Now.

Speaker 3: I did drive the Kuntash as an adult, not as a kid, so it's not one of those Well you were a kid, you didn't know what you're doing. Now

I was an adult, and it, like I said, just wasn't a fun car to drive. I drove a vintage

Ferrari that was one of the coolest things I still think to this date that I've driven. And I want

to say it was fifties.

Speaker 4: That's cool, and that it was.

Speaker 3: And I can't remember the model. I know you're augan

to ask me what model was. I can tell you

that the shifter was sticking out of the dash and That's what I thought was the coolest thing. It was

on the floor, it was out of dashing, had actually shifted up on the dash for to to shift, which I'd never seen anything like that. Was pretty neat.

Speaker 2: You know, Enterprise in Las Vegas rents exotic cars. Yes,

I didn't know that until Yeah, you weren't part of the show then. Do you not remember when we took

the show to Shelby in Vegas and got access to the edition. I handled all the media for that.

Speaker 3: But so, yeah, that was really cool and that did that happened. We were the first one to get our

hands on that car. No other magazine, TV show, nothing

had that car yet we got were the first ones that have our hand on that car. And that was

really really cool, but paranoid once again because at that point time there was only two of them that were running the guy and they were making the media, starting to make the media presence, and I had We'll tell you, I weaseled my way into that deal. I backedworded the

deal like you wouldn't believe through some people I knew and got access to the car, and it was really neat and I understand it's just the hurt sedition.

Speaker 2: Because we knew and nobody wanted to say it.

Speaker 3: We knew that the car had been made already and there was nothing released, and I knew where the cars were being stored at, so I know there was two of them that were made, and I knew they were being stored. Uh. Through some contact and I actually tracked

on the car and then I got permission to get possession of the car. If you guys never catch those episodes,

go back and look for my camera what episodes. They

were very early parts of the show, but there's pictures of us floating around with us when we got the car, a hold of the car in Vegas to play with, and it was really really cool experience to be part of that. Like I said, is anything over the top special? No,

But I still remember the first time I started the car and I was and it just had a It was really wicked. Now, I think Nathaniel's car is almost

really close to the sound in your stock configuration of what that was back then, but I think that one was a little louder, but it sounds very similar because they've done so much work to your exhausted in your Guys model, but still very cool experience. I said, So,

my buddy decided that he was going to stop renting the cars out for drive, and now he rents them for I want to say a probably a bad example, but say like a rat video or for them to deposed for weddings and stuff like that. And he makes

more money doing that. I believe the cars are safer

that way than he does for anything else. He gives

him out for advertising if they want to do commercials, all kind of stuff they want to fill in the cars with. That's what he does with the car. And

he says it's just it's more lucrative for him. He

doesn't have to worry about the cars getting torn up.

He's in control of the whole situation from start to go.

A lot of times the cars just dropped off. It's

locked and nobody can even get in the car. So

if the car's just a static display and they use him astack displays, he makes pretty decent money just let the car sit there for a weekend as a static there's a whole value too. But like it's crazy the

money that he tells me that he gets paid for some of these that car just to sit there, I mean, which is pretty cool. But he also rents about to movies,

but a lot of times they are static explay too, because the way the movie route works is if they want to drive in a car and stuff like that, then you know there's a chance that something could happen to the car, and then there's some free agreed pricing.

If something happens in a car, what they're going to pay for, and that gets a little tricky. He kind

of explained that to me a little bit to me.

But most of the cars he does with that are not his nice high end cars. They're actually everyday cars.

It's kind of weird the way that works, but uh, cool business idea.

Speaker 4: I mean they even did that back in the day too.

Speaker 5: They take every day cars they kind of modified a look like it, you know, they I had a camera.

Speaker 3: And I talked about it years ago. I had an

opportunity to buy a barn full of cars years ago that were like old fifties and sixties models, and most of them are in pretty decent shape. Probably really just

need to be washed some of them. If you wanted

to make them look nice, you put a quick painte ob and stuff like that. But if I would have

been set up at the time like we are now with the megagarage. That might have been an option because

it was big enough that I could have parked cars out on the street for a movie lot, and it would have been the right cars for the right air out out on the street for that error, and it probably been some money being made renting those cars for that.

Now the movie industry has changed a little bit, maybe not so much like it used to be back then.

I mean, back then they're making, you know, over three hundred movies a year, and now they're making like what twenty five, I don't know. It's like pretty crazy the

way that works. Not a lot of them A car movies, right, No,

they're just these are cars. There's back They're just street

just for the air. If you were going down like

a if the movie was filmed in the fifties and sixties and you needed twelve cars to put out like in parking spots on the street to make to make the streets scene perfect cars for them, there were nothing special.

There were cars of that era. They were in decent

shape that they weren't torn apart, had all the parts still hanging on them, and I could have had them for a really good price by just having place to put them. Just there was no place to put those cars.

Speaker 4: Left them in the barn, close it up. That's how

that worked.

Speaker 3: They were getting rid of that piece of property and they just wanted the cars to go. But like I said,

the cars were all complete. They were they weren't really

missing anything. I said, if we were set up the

way we are now with the property and the big garage and stuff like, that'd be a whole another story.

I'd probably a little more interested in it. But times

go by. But I think it's kind of cool that

you have that set up and there's a lot of that going on, and marketplace is starting to sell some weird cars and you start and see some things show up.

I told you guys, I still have a love for kit cars. Nathaniel not so much. Uh So, I'm constantly

looking to see what kit cars you're out there, because I truly want a real replica. I would like I

still I would like to have a real replica kuntash, just so I could play with it out on the street and not worry about being torn up. And I know,

once again, I know, I just said they're no fun to drive. But if it's a replica, then you don't

really care. I mean you care, but not nearly as

much of it was the real thing.

Speaker 4: I say, there's a lot more the cooler things to attain.

Speaker 3: There is, but I still like, look at toward you guys.

At some point in time, I'm going to own a GT forty replica car. It's gonna be. But you know,

they're built like the race car. It's not like a

I don't want one of those cheesy ones. I want

one of the ones that's built like the race car, frame, has the body over it, stuff like that. Also, like

the the MK was MK three Porscha was the nine seventeen Porscha that replicas that look like they're racing in some other countries somewhere. I really like that. By the style,

some of those pop upvery once a while. They're really

hard to get your hands on too, unless you buy a true full race setup. And I once been that

kind of because I just want to drive on the street and have fun with it, so I know we'll see what ends up happening. Like I said, there's go

look at marketplace. It's a very scary place. I highly

suggest you don't do it in the middle of the night because that's usually when I can't sleep. I'm finding

the next card that I should not buy. But no, guys,

I'm going and get out of here. That's the end

of our show. Hope you guys enjoyed the show. This week.
