John from 40 Grit Design, and Nick from Detroit C10 chat it up about John's killer OBS Race "Sweet and Low" truck  - its more than meets the eye, that's for sure! 

What a treat, I dig reaching out to guys like George Trosley, they are such enthusiasts that they can't help themselves but be exited, even after 50 plus years of drawing Cars and Trucks.  George has a great story and I'm stoked I can bring it to you guys.  If you would like to have George draw something for you or would like to reach out about something his website is www.georgetrosley.com Thanks again George for the years of laughs, and CARtoons - much continued success in the future and I look forward to meeting you in person some day, Ronnie This was originally recorded and dropped in early 2020, on C10 Talk.

Sure life changes and you have to make sacrifices, kids family life stuff!  Well fast forward a few years and John finds himself owning a few classic trucks, a C10, 2 OBS, and his son just bought his first - a 1991. So the Tyree family is all in.  Check out his IG and I hope you like the pod, thanks Ronnie

Carey Bewley and "Project Indy" started with a kid just looking to let the world know what he could do, or what he thought he could. At the ripe ol' age of 21 he probably wasn't sure himself. So in 1995, yep 1995 Carey with the help of so many others started on their SEMA '96 build and little did Carey know that Project Indy would take him on a few Roller Coaster rides throughout his life!  We were able to site down with Carey and connect on some great stories that have led Carey to who he is today with his family by his side and his truck safely stored in the garage.  Great Pod!!!   

Quick Bonus chatting it up with Chris Stafford about the first OBS Take Over, meet up at Battle in Bama a few weeks back. This looked like a great gathering of some of the baddest OBS Trucks out there and they converged into Battle in Bama.  Devil Boy Media captured some amazing images for those that weren't able to make it.  It sounds like this will be a tradition that will continue, so 2023 might be bigger and better, if that is at all possible.  I hope you enjoy the bonus pod, and have a great Memorial Day weekend.
