Description

In this episode of Steel Stories, Hot Rod Magazine’s Senior Editor K.J. Jones joins guest host Rebecca Lindland for a high-octane conversation about the evolution of steel in performance cars. From classic ’60s muscle to today’s EVs and Hellcats, K.J. shares decades of insight into why steel remains the heart of automotive culture. Hear how lightweighting, high-strength alloys, and American-made steel are driving restoration, customization, and racing safety forward — all while keeping steel’s legacy alive for the next generation of gearheads.
 


Whether you’re a builder, a dreamer, or just love a good burnout, this one’s for you.
