Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- You've probably seen his cars and projects but had no idea who the master was behind the whole thing. Being just a stones throw away from one of Southern California's original speed shops didn't help the situation either.
On this episode we sit down and talk about being a curator of history regardless of the era. We also talk about his life of racing beginning with go karts and transitioning into top fuel dragsters. What it was like working around his father and brother while growing up, the influences in his builds and carrying on traditions that were a huge part of his childhood. We also talk about watering lawns...

Thank goodness there is a Pete Eastwood! He's had the life that so many of us would choose.
That was a lot of fun listening to Pete tell his story. Thanks.
Awesome episode, I could listen to these old stories all day long. Thanks for sharing them.😮😮😮
Great episode! "The rarest car in the world is a T bucket without a for sale sign." HAHAHA!
I would also add a T-Bucket without a tunnel ram!
Pwood a Hot Rod Icon I always admired, great interview!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great interview really enjoyed it, thanks for posting.
Incredible !
That was a great listen and images/video to go with it. Thank you!
Our pleasure!
Definitely my favorite show to date. I’ve always been a huge fan of Pete’s work. I too am drawn to the chassis’ when looking at cars so I can appreciate his passion for learning from the pioneers of drag racing & hot rodding. Really cool episode…y’all are recording history for the generations to come!👍🏼
Thanks that was great
Thank you for taking the time to interview Pete . Certainly an icon in the sport, he was connected to some of the people who grew the sport to were it is today.I have the copy of The Rodders Journal with the 32 tear down article , it has so many funny spots I get it out reread it. A picture of the way hot rodders were and the funny antics as a group they did.Very interesting , the kind of guy that is fun to hang out with !
The coolest by far and a treasure of the car culture that defined an era with lots of respect and admiration . simply amazing how much knowledge of the pioneer beginnings of a time when cool cars were hand built and every thing was done with love. I'm sure all the projects still on the list will get finished .
Really inspiring to hear Pete’s story ! I have seen some pictures of his work and remember reading about the 32 tear down in the parking lot I think in the Robert Williams book ? But this makes it real to see and see hear the man himself. Well done !
That was fun.
Wonderful, thank you ...monte

That was AWESOME!!
Someone who can actually say , been there done that ! I know what you mean about saving money for the front wheels! Luckily , I had a friend pick me up a pair of 12 spokes, 3x15 , $350 for the pair , 1990 price ! Very nice pair! Of course a nice project car is no longer $1200 ! Still looking for a pair of the tall 17”, 18” 12 spokes! What a great assortment of great cars ! Very enjoyable interview! Nothing like living in the middle of the action! Thanks!

Imagine living a Great Life then getting Drafted into a Global Bankers War. I guess I dodged that bullet being 9 years younger Pete. Also living in Michigan, all the older cars probably already rusted away and thus we had to run 1960's Muscle cars.
Unknown?
Why is his hat on backwards ?
Because he ignored the advice of his witness protection handler. He's not too bright...
He used to be a catcher for the school baseball team----@@StoriesnSteel
