Automotive Education Stories - Makenna and Brandon - University Restoration Program Journey

Click here to share your favorite car, car story or any automotive trivia!In this inspiring episode, we shine a light on the next generation of car enthusiasts represented by Makenna (a top student) and Brandon (an instructor) from Weber State University’s renowned automotive tech program. Together, they share uplifting restoration stories from the shop floor – from resurrecting a vintage Mustang GT as a class project to fine-tuning a classic Pontiac GTO’s carburetor that had stumped even seasoned mechanics. PBS NewsHour even featured their work, and now we get the behind-the-scenes look at how these projects double as rolling classrooms. Makenna talks about balancing academic life with greasy hands, and how working on classic cars has given her confidence and a deep appreciation for automotive history. Brandon adds perspective on teaching: instilling not just technical skills but also automotive passion and patience in his students.Makenna and Brandon's favorite episode is "From Mustang GT Builds to Pontiac GTO Restorations: Weber State Automotive Tech & Education" https://www.buzzsprout.com/2316026/episodes/16548659-from-mustang-gt-builds-to-pontiac-gto-restorations-weber-state-automotive-tech-educationListeners will learn how modern educational tools meet old-school cars – think 3D-printing parts for a 60’s muscle car – and the fun “auto adventures” that happen when college kids road-trip to car shows in their freshly restored rides. “Campus of Cars” is equal parts educational and heartwarming, illustrating how the torch of car culture is passed on. It’s a must-listen for anyone curious about the future of car restoration and the young people who will keep our classic car memories alive. *** Your Favorite Automotive Podcast - Now Arriving Weekly!!! *** Listen on your favorite platform and visit https://carsloved.com for full episodes, our automotive blog, Guest Road Trip Playlist and our new CAR-ousel of Memories photo archive.
