This week on Oil & Whiskey, we’re joined by Kenny Davis of Kenny Davis Hot Rods.Kenny has been around the Roadster Shop crew for a long time, long enough to remember picking up some of the first RS chassis back around 2008/2009, including the one still under his dad’s ’55 Nomad.

We get into Kenny’s history with Tri-Fives, growing up around his dad’s cars, road-tripping Nomads and ’55s all over the country, and why those cars still have such a hold on him.

The guys also talk about the evolution of Roadster Shop chassis, Kenny’s current builds, Suburban and Blazer projects, the collision side of the business, hot rod shop realities, customers, craftsmanship, and how much the industry has changed over the years.

And because it’s Kenny, there are plenty of stories: the coma, the steamroller, body shop conferences, Arkansas vs. Yankees, Kenny Davis jeans, American Graffiti, Ferrari 308 dreams, music comparisons, and a whole lot of ball-busting between old friends.
