Project Car Chronicles
About this episode
Spring car-season is the focus, with Kevin Byrd and Willie B swapping stories about what happens when projects sit too long—gaskets, varnish, fuel issues, and dead batteries. They compare prep routines for coming out of storage, including tire checks, fluid refreshes, and why carburetors often fight you after years dormant. Kevin also recounts a long repair saga on his 69 Charger after an oil-pan hit, while Willie updates his widebody Mustang fastback build, including a tricky chopped-top glass problem. They end with build talk, weight balance banter, and upcoming plans.
