  • Ryan Fielding of RINGBROTHERS
    Nov 6 2024

    It's time for SEMA 2024 and that means that all the top builders are revealing their latest creations. Mike and Jim Ring of Spring Green, Wisconsin bring the heat every year!

    RINGBROTHERS continues to push the boundaries of Restomods, and Ryan Fielding plays a critical role in that effort. He's the Chief Fabricator, leading a team of skilled technicians who take high performance dreams and hammer them into reality.

    Ryan did his turn in engineering school before committing to customs motorcycles, hotrods and sculpture as his vocation, but he always kept touch with Mike and Jim. Finally, they recruited him into the fold and it's been full throttle ever since.

    In this episode, Ryan shares his personal story, some behind-the-scenes shop stories, as well as a big reveal on the three Ringbrothers customs debuting at SEMA 2024.

  • Brandon Hegedus, Master Craftsman
    Oct 23 2024

    In a suburban garage in Alberta, Canada, Brandon Hegedus builds eye-popping replicas of some of the world's rarest and most desirable performance cars.

    We're talking cars that virtually no one can own because they are either so rare or valuable that the only option is to recreate them.

    It all started as a personal challenge to replicate a 1961 Ferrari Tipo 156 "Sharknose" Formula 1 car (the originals no longer exist).

    Using modern materials like carbon fiber, Brandon recreated the iconic Sharknose bodywork. Underneath, he used modern mechanicals that approximated the original performance of the Tipo 156, all tied to a scratch built frame. The result was a screamer of a car with stunning looks.

    That first build got the attention of the media and created fantastic opportunities. Brandon is now a full-time builder who's bringing his clients' dream cars to life.

  • The Mysterious Case of Rudolf Diesel (Encore Presentation) with Douglas Brunt
    Oct 16 2024

    You've probably never thought much about Diesel fuel or Diesel engines beyond the mere technical- but how about the man who invented the power plant that moves the world?

    Few people realize that he disappeared without a trace on the evening of September 29, 1913 from a passenger ferry crossing from Antwerp, Belgium to London, England.

    In his book "The Mysterious Case of Rudolf Diesel", New York Times
    best-selling author Douglas Brunt plays detective and weaves a true story of innovation, intrigue and "Great Power" games- all culminating in the fascinating reveal of what happened to Rudolf Diesel.

    This encore presentation has been released to mark the paperback publication of Doug's terrific book- so if you missed this episode the first time, you'll surely enjoy this interview.
