You're in for a treat. Our lively conversation with the Vintage Thunderbirds of Houston puts you in the passenger seat of their annual cruise-in at the Hemi Hideout. We delve into their philanthropic program, discuss their scholarship schemes aimed at fostering fresh talent, and explore the pressing issue of technician shortage in the classic car business. Plus, we touch on the Houston Mecum auction, an innovative venture where the club works at the auction and the proceeds support students' journey to trade colleges via scholorships.Buckle up as we switch gears and journey to the heart of Texas with Josh Kennedy, the first recruit of the new owners of Texas Timber Frames. He spills the beans on how he turned a 147,000 board feet of Douglas fir and 13 miles of Cyprus tongue and groove into the awe-inspiring Hemi Hideout. We also touch on the hot-button issues of layoffs and strikes in the auto industry, and how they affect the UAW strike fund. It's a thrilling ride, filled with fascinating insights and stories. Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.
