TMCP #450: Jeff Allison – SEMA Cars, Mustang Restorations, And 80MPH Go Karts – Ask Rick, Can You Restore The Soul Out Of A Car? Dec 04, 2020

Show notes

This week I had the pleasure of once again talking with my great friend, my brother from another mother, and the owner of Allison Customs, Jeff Allison! It has been a little while since we just talked and ten years since we started collaborating on the build of my Chevelle. Jeff launched his business (officially) in spring of 2011 and my Chevelle was the first car his company took on. 10 years later it's been a life changer for us both! I asked him on to discuss the journey, how 2020 has affected him, and also....how to REALLY set up 2-stroke racing go-kart I bought from him to enjoy with my son!

Show notes

This week is the third of several interviews from the first ever Holley "MOPARTY" event held in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Friend of the show (and Holley marketing superstar) Blane Burnett was able to line us up with some great interviews at the event with some famous people. MOPAR lovers young and old will recognize the names of many of our guests. Since SEMA was a no go this year, I was determined to make the Holley MOPARTY a better than fitting replacement to our yearly special segments live from the event. The episode features the VERY FIRST Charger 500 ever built as well as the world famous (and Bonneville record setting) K&K Dodge Daytona!

TMCP #443: Tyler Gibson’s Secrets About His Tail Wagging Autocross Dominating Scout II; Pro-Touring Update With Larry Callahan Sep 17, 2020

Show notes

This week I spoke to Tyler Gibson, someone I have interacted with for a decade at different Good Guys autocross events...but have never really met. I've watched he and his sister utterly dominate while running their Scout II, and couldn't get over how it was always dialed into the track while simultaneously being aimed with the nose and steered with the tail. I love Tyler's driving style as well (all out) and decided it was finally time to learn how they've done it! It turns out....the car events were (and are) just a chance for the family to hang out together!

TMCP #441: It REALLY IS Possible! Chris Holstrom Customs on How to Create a PROFITABLE and FUN Custom Car Shop! – Ask Rick, How To Choose a Catalog Cover Car Sep 04, 2020

Show notes

This weeks interview is with Chris Holtrom, longtime friend and many time repeat interviewee dating years back to TMCP Episode #50. Chris is also famous as the owner and namesake of Chris Holstrom Concepts and the creator of many show winning automotive creations at huge venues like SEMA. Just recently we asked him on The Kibbe and Friends Show (K&F Episode 159) to discuss the experience of his entire family contracting COVID-19! It was a remarkable insight into his realities of it all. At the end of that long interview he dropped a tiny comment about changing his entire business from a fun but (at times) consuming job into a highly profitable and life-fitting business! And then "with that bombshell, goodnight!" the show ended. I knew in that second that Chris was coming back on to explain himself. This is that show, and believe me it is amazing! If you own a shop, a business, or would like to this may just be revolutionary for you.
