Millions Of Dollars Worth Of Custom Cars | Triple Crown Of Rodding Recap

Today is opening day of the Triple Crown of Rotting event. Supercharged something in there. I don't know everything about the truck, but I'll do what I can. This is literally Bumblebee. It does not get more American than this. The show to be at nicest hot rods you'll see on planet earth. The Triple Crown of Rotting. Triple Crown of Rotting. Triple Crown. This is the premier hot rod show in North America right now. Today is Thursday and it's the day before the Triple Crown of Rotting show. And so the team made it out here yesterday, got the trailer parked, now we're setting the display up, getting ready for tomorrow, going through the list of all the things we have and all the things we don't have. And so there's a lot of stuff that you're wishing you like, ah, we should have got that. Oh, we should have got that. We didn't. So, but that's the way it goes. It can't be perfect all the time. But anyway, so the guys are setting up, kind of staging, getting things kind of ready. We'll put all the outside curtain on, lock it all up tonight and then go get the few little things we're missing. But we should be done here in the next couple hours and we're super excited for tomorrow. It's going to be an awesome show, Friday, Saturday, so if you're local to Nashville, get here. If you're not local to Nashville, ah, I guess get a plane ticket and come out here and we'll see you tomorrow. Orange Isles. Yo, Spencer. What up? What is your favorite aspect of our booth? This is a hard one. This is probably my favorite we've ever done. Panels, a big hit this year. Not quite done, but getting close. Really big fan of our truck. It's the owner Jason's personal truck. Well, I'm a little biased. I definitely like the interior stance, but the interactive chassis is pretty hard to beat. Something about air ride, being able to hit the switch and watch it drop is pretty cool. This booth is definitely the Duomo. This has been a labor of love. Six panel has been coming together for a very long time. Very, very close. So we're excited for the owner to get it. Excited to show it off again. We did it once before in Tennessee in May. We're back in Tennessee to show it off some more, a little bit more complete this time. So I'd say that's definitely my favorite part. All right, so today is opening day of the Nashville Super Speedway, the Triple Crown of Rotting event. And so we're excited to be here. The booth is pretty much all set up. People are showing up and we're having a good time. It's going to be a little warm today, but hey, you know what? Got a couple of fans in here for you. Stay cool. But we're here. We're having a good time. We're excited. And we're really grateful to be part of this event. We're walking around the beautiful state of Tennessee. We're at the Triple Crown of Rotting. It's the third official year of the show. It's our first year having a booth here. Jason has come out by himself last year to check it out. And we reached out to Gary Case and he was awesome enough to hook us up with a booth. And here we are. Here to look at some sweet rides. Oh, there you go. This is a cool first gen Bronco. We were looking at this earlier. It's got like the modern Bronco emblems on them. Kind of like that perfect hybrid. It's got a gen three Coyote, I believe in it. You see like all the badges are modern. He's got a really cool like suede insert on the seat. Oh, it looks like they're heading out now. Is this also one of your picks, Logan? I think, yeah, yeah. I'm more of a, you know, I definitely love your 4x4 stuff, but I think this was a Spencer pick. This is a really cool GMC. It's got the US mags on it. Yeah, those US mags are sick. I think they can hear us back in Arizona. Oh, yeah. It's like God from the thundering heavens is like, 80s music. We're not forgetting about anybody. Oh, this wood paneling side. Supercharged something in there. Looks like a whiffle on it. Dude, it's a Ford SVT Supercharged. That is so cool. This is wicked, man. Literally wood on the entire inside of the... It's a Ford... That's cool. 46 Ford Woody. First of all... It's like the most unassuming car ever. Like if you close the hood on this thing, you'd be like, that's so cute. 700 horsepower, like... Easy, easy. And, I mean, dude, the wood on the side, like the condition that this thing is in is just absolutely insane. A 46 Woody? Yeah. That's cool. A literal Woody? This is the OG hot rodding. Yeah, your little 32 Ford coupe. The guy that helps run the show, Gary, I was listening to him talk about the coupes and like, back in his day, these were the hot rod classics and all the 60s stuff was brand new. It was like us driving like a modern car today. Like it's crazy to think the first things that were like slam horsepower motors in them were these. Sure, sure. So much surface area, dude. This is a beautiful car. This one's hard to go wrong on. Yeah, I know. Chrome, white, main color. It's a very simple theme that is like universally works well. For sure. This truck could be red, blue, green, orange, but all chrome, white interior, white wall tires. And wheel covers, man. Nothing like a nice wheel cover. Evel Midget approved. Evel Midget? Is that what he's getting at? Hashtag Evel Midget approved. I'm so sorry if we're saying that wrong to whoever owns this. This is f****** Bumblebee. This is literally Bumblebee. You said Bumblebee? Yeah. A thousand percent, huh? Z28. What is it, a 70? Wow, that's a cool interior. Yeah, 1970 Z28. Does not get more American than this. USA won, baby. Let's go. I don't know a lot about Camaros, but my brother-in-law has this same year model. I think it's a 70 or a 71, but he has the same bumper. So they made a model where the bumper stops right here. It's called like the split bumper. And then this is your, I don't know, single bumper? Unibumper? Unibumper, yeah. I don't really know what they call it, but really cool car. This thing sounds fun driving off. Oh, that 3100. Based on the meat on those tires, that thing goes. Oh, that's that Bronco we were looking at. Well, it's fantastic. Actually, it was a little bit hot and muggy, so we're not really used to that from Arizona. But it was a spectacular day, a very good turnout. We had a lot of people show up, met some awesome people that follow Fat Fender Garage. And they love to come and see the booth. And really, the best part about it is just really the caliber of vehicles that are showing up is insane. And so it really is fun to go check out all these different ideas and trends and things that are happening. So super cool. We're glad to be wrapping up. We're tired. We're beat. It's been a long, hot day. And we're ready to go get cleaned up and go get some dinner tonight. But we're super excited about it, and we're looking forward to tomorrow. So today is day two of the Triple Crown. And we knew there was probably a chance it was going to have some rain here. And so we showed up. It's raining a lot, like not just a little. It's been raining a lot. Everything held up pretty good. It's mostly dry. You just got water kind of coming under the trailer and, you know, filling in a little bit. So we're hoping in the next hour, maybe we can start opening up and people start showing up. But, hey, this is the way it goes, right? You can't have perfect weather all the time, but it's exciting. We've had a great first day. We're excited about, you know, the rain. It's supposed to die down in the next hour or two. We can start opening up. Things can start drying out, and people start showing up. So rain delay, right? So Triple Crown rain delay. I think that's pretty common at a racetrack. If it rains at a racetrack, they will shut it down for a little while. Rain delay, that's what it is here. And so I'm sure we'll fire things up soon. As far as I know, this truck came from Texas. It was sat in a field for 30 years. Got the nickname Bushwack because, well, the patina is bushwack. So it was just sitting in a field for so long. So we started the project. Bryson actually bought this truck and had it as it was going to be a shop truck. Then he decided to sell it. So then that's how our customer, Chris, came along. He bought the truck sight unseen from Bryson, essentially from our business. We started the build with him. Yeah, it just came out beautiful. I mean, when it came to interior, he came to you guys. And I know he was not sure what color to go with. He's like, I think it'll work perfect. He's seen pictures. We sent pictures of the truck down there so he could get a taste for what we were doing. Spencer said, Jason picked something out. He says it'll work good. And he goes, do you want to see it? I go, no. If he thinks it'll work, just go with it. And I've never seen it until today. But now that I've seen it, I was like, oh, it's spot on. This is my first time here. And it's our first shop truck being here, too. So having this here and having all the business that we use for our business, it's cool to be able to go around and say, hey, come check out what you guys helped us do. I mean, I don't think you could have done it much better. So you guys knocked that out of the park. Well, appreciate it. It's a great build. So thanks for the help. Absolutely. All right. So day two, it's the very end. These guys are making a lot of noises over there. Everybody's breaking down. It's time to pack up and it's time to go home. And so you can see we're getting our booth cleaned up. That's the worst part about this whole thing is cleaning up. Luckily, I've got an amazing team. These guys have been working hard, cleaning up, helping. But it's been great. We're definitely going to be here next year. And so if you're thinking about coming to the Triple Crown of Rotting, definitely come next year because it's the show to be at. This might be my favorite show I've ever been to. Gary Case, he's done a fantastic job running the show. Bobby Alloway, same thing. Very, very good people behind this. And you can tell they really care about their customers. They really care about the vendors and they really want people to come back. Wrapping up the second day of the Triple Crown, it was an amazing show. They really know how to treat their vendors. Spectators seemed like they had an awesome time, brought out some really rad rides. Honestly, probably some of the coolest hot rides I've ever seen. So that's probably the highlight of the show for me. Triple Crown of Rotting is definitely something I think we need to put into the rotation every single year. Represent the Fat Fender Garage brand. And it was a lot of fun. So we're cleaning up. It was a rainy day today. Of course, the sun is shining now that we're leaving, which is awesome. But yeah, so great event. Really stoked to be here and can't wait to come back. All right, so that's it. And we'll see you next time. Have a good one.
