Wilkey put out a new video of the car he's building. Apparently he used my buddy's shop to do some of the tube work fabrication. I hadn't seen his shop since they moved to Fontana. Their work and equipment is pretty impressive. Specially when you factor in they built and programmed their first tube laser all by themselves.

I watched that episode a couple days ago. Your friend is a very intelligent guy. I was impressed with what he’s doing. A lot is going to change for the off road industry and how these cars are built.

His new car is going to be bad ass. That's cool that your friend is involved 👍 , if he wasn't already slammed with work he will be once this car is done!

I remember going over to his Mom's house and helping them while I was drinking beer because they were underage and couldn't get any and his mom wouldn't let him drink. They were building our other buddy's Ranger with the very first front end kit they designed. Crazy to see where LSK is now.

BTW, I know Aaron (the owner in the Calwest shirt) and Id say he's a friend, but his partner Van (the chubbier guy that was with him for a couple minutes that looked like a drunk cowardly Lion) is my buddy. He just doesn't like to be on camera or talk to random people much. lol!

Kevin,

You grew up with some talented people coming out of Burbank. Most of your buddies that I have met through you have done some big things!

Yeah, Burbank has put out some talented people. After being there for a week over Christmas, I think those times are gone now though. Nowhere near as many trucks or younger people with modified cars of any type. Its pretty obvious the ol' Burbank Bubble has burst.
