Hot Rod Blues, Episode 9, Skittles Paint and an Irish Breakfast

The guys make a visit to Shawn Brereton’s home bar for episode 9 of the HRB Podcast. With no special guest, the

guys update everyone on what they’ve been up to since the last time alone. They start out talking about the epic

episode 8 with legendary Memphis Rodders Marshall Robilio and Eddie Wilbanks. After talking about how they

used to roll the start at their drag races, it brings up the subject of import roll racing. Javi mentions an S2000 that

has a Model A body, which brings up Shawn B’s friend who has an LS-swapped S2000 that he made into an

Exocet-type of vehicle.

The guys get to telling stories about garages and the lack thereof. Then the conversation turns to having to

Maguyver things together on the road and how Raymond Godman drove his cars after becoming a paraplegic.

Finally, they start updating us on what they’ve been up to at Steel Rose. Mike tells that the Camaro should be

leaving shortly and they just received an El Camino that they plan to make into a dedicated motorcycle hauler. The

UTE is seeing a lot of work, but still has a way to go seeing there are so many handmade pieces on it.

The handmade aspect turns the conversation to how much things cost and what you are paying for - in any

business. Shawn Y explains his sign business and they start talking about the building that he and Javi have bought

together. They are in the process of getting the building in shape to move in. The building is a Quonset-hut-style

building that was built back in the war era and was once a plastics plant that pressed records for the recording

industry in Memphis. This reminds Shawn B that his car was originally painted in a Q hut and leads him into the

story of the paint jobs the ‘55 has had over the years. Any talk about paint always leads to everyone talking about

different colors to paint cars.

Shawn B talks about his trip to Lone Star Throwdown and how cold and wet it was. He shot 4 trucks for features in

Classic Truck Performance. He also got a call from Mustang Hub to shoot a Mustang up in Nashville. He also got

the green light to shoot another Mustang GT500 in Memphis. He’ll be heading to Las Vegas for Musclecars at the

Strip next! He’s got plenty on his plate.

Lastly, they announce that the Memphis Legends show will benefit Camp Light this year. It is an amazing place that

helps special needs children in Virginia much like the Victory Junction Gang Camp. They finish with a teaser of

episode 10 which will feature the one and only Preston Davis. Stay tuned, it should be epic!
