This is the 4th episode of our Midwest Road Tour and it sure was a special shoot for all of us on the team. Spending the day with Troy Trepanier and learning why every builder I know says "Troy is the best" was one of the best days in my automotive career. The artistry along with sheer mechanical genius gives you the builds that only Troy and his team could build. This 1929 Model A Tudor is truly one of the finest builds I've ever experienced in every way possible so sit back and enjoy the ride...

Top of the game, also Steve Moal! Great that Troy gives his right hand Adam the accolades! Love the first 2 minutes, no talking, just look and listen to the ride!

While Southern California custom vehicles are cool, traveling the U.S.A. with Sean, to visit custom build shops, shows there are award winning builders across America! More road trips Sean!!

Troy has and will always be the best automotive designer/ builder. End of story! He surrounds himself with the best and attracts the best. Truly my hero in the automotive industry.

@AutotopiaLA Ай бұрын

I’ve heard that from a lot of the top builders in this business and having been to his shop I get it now. Troy and his team are truly next level on design and execution plus their builds actually drive ALOT! Truly an honor getting to spend the day with Troy and his team

I watch A LOT of auto content. From F1 on Netflix to Bad Chad and everything in between. I have to say this Autotopia LA Western tour is just about my most favorite series I’ve seen in 40+ years. It’s just the kind of rides I like the most presented just exactly the right way. So thank you thank you thank you! So this latest review. Whoa. The design, engineering, build quality, and artistry is just freaking mind bending. Good gracious what I wouldn’t give to personally see it. The vicariousness will have to do for now. Stoked!!

Troy continues to blow my mind. Still at the top of his game after all these decades. Still innovating, still pushing the envelope and still has the passion and drive of a guy just starting out. Gawd do I wish I could afford to work with him.

@AutotopiaLA Ай бұрын

Still pushing everyday. Wait til you see the 3rd gen Camaro they’re building…wow!!

@ChasingPerfection Ай бұрын

My favorite Builder. Adam's metalwork is what everyone strives for. I follow him and Casey on IG. The quality of builds turned out of that shop is the best of the best. I could listen to Troy talk about the cars for hours. This car was in a WheelHub issue I have. Notice how all the hardware is clocked. Details, details, details

@jeffhanson3046 Ай бұрын

Troy is the absolute goat of hot rods with not only the vision, but the skills to complete whatever he attempts.

@CyberDocUSA Ай бұрын

Love the steampunck element with the exterior mechanicals. These guys are engineering and fabricating geniuses. That electric rear window is such an incredible touch (and practical). And Shawn, if you're finishing this tour in that Classic Chevy truck, you need a straw cowboy hat, braj. 😄 Have a great weekend.

We are in, quite literally, the most amazing time for hot rod builders. The capabilities using modern manufacturing techniques and technology has changed the game to an extraordinary degree.

Every time I see one of Troy's cars it takes me about three runs thru the specs before I can understand what he did with his rides. Shawn....I'm 77 y.o. and haven't seen a Halibrand rear end in nearly a thousand years.....you certainly get to work with great rides. Whaddajob!!!

Troy is the cat's meow. Humble as you can imagine. He is one of THE best car builders in the world. If you haven't been to a Goodguys and seen his cars in person - I highly suggest going to spend 30-45 min just staring at his cars in person. There are things that you might not see anywhere else. I've been following him many years. They are selling parts and cool items on their website too. Bolts and cool clamps.

@vintagespeed Ай бұрын

first car of troy's i ever saw was the 'chicane', and he's been an inspiration of mine ever since. truly one of the best of the best, of the best.

@Far2hip Ай бұрын

The most poignant statement I’ve ever heard about creating a clean looking build is “The cleaner the look and the lines the longer it takes to build. If it’s going to be genuinely functional, you can automatically double that time to create a finished build. And that is for the talented and experienced craftsman.” This car exemplifies that statement. But the coolest part of all is this thing gets driven REAL distances often. Very cool. 👍🏻😎👍🏻
