2019 Celebrity Interviews
Shorty from Iron Resurrection
Javier Ponce
We spent more time with Shorty (Javier Ponce) than any of the previous celebrities and he is the same guy in real life that we see on the series. We split our interviews into two categories. In the first, we talked about Iron Resurrection and how Shorty met Joe and was asked to be a part of the tv pilot... and series.
About Iron Resurrection 22:33 minutes
Later we talked about Shorty's own shop which is called Elite Autoworks. He has a very inspiring story about how he left school, then returned and was directed towards a career that led him to the automotive industry. Shorty is also good at keeping up on his Facebook page.

2019 Feature Interviews
33 Ford Roadster - Timeless - 2019 Best in Show
Tim Kerrigan
For the first time ever, after walking through the whole show full of great vehicles we identified the clear show winner... that is how incredible this car is. We interviewed owner Tim Kerrigan and builder Leonard Lopez of Dominator Street Rods and got the details on the 33 Roadster called Timeless. This video is loaded with photos from all angles.
Interview at PRS 12:43 minutes
34 Ford Roadster - Maxwell House
Bill Maxwell
Bill is not only the owner... he is also the builder of this stunning 34 roadster. Its an all steel body with just the right mods and at the heart of it sits a flat head. Some of the sweetest photos we took this year featured this great looking ride.
Interview at PRS 8:37 minutes
Custom 63 Impala Lowrider - Bloody Rag
Gary Anderson
You may have seen some nice lowriders before, but we doubt you have ever seen one with the detail of the Bloody Rag. It's impossible to describe the detail put into this car, and to date - we have never seen a vehicle with this much engraving. In the middle of a show with so many incredible cars, this was a stand out.
Interview at PRS 5:23 minutes
1957 Corvette
Owner - Rhonda Ralph, Builder - Steve Frisbee
Steve built this custom beauty for Rhonda after she saw another one he had created. Her unique color had her excited to see it, and Steve arranged a really cool reveal at a car show without her knowing the car was done and would be in the show. He said he made her cry, so when we saw Rhonda we asked her to tell us the story... and they both do in this interview.
Interview at PRS 9:29 minutes
1969 Camaro RS Z28
Dana Wendel
We've seen rally stripes on Camaro and Chevelles, but the execution of the stripes following through the engine and other areas of the car really separated this car.

2019 1000 HP Hennessey ZO6 Corvette
Sgt. Lew Barnes
Lew wanted to make a tribute to the helicopters from Vietnam. He went to Hennessey to add a 1000 HP, then went to one of the best air brush guys out there... Mike Lavallee of Killer Paint in WA. After our car interview we hung out and chatted with Sgt. Lew about Vietnam.
