In this episode of prjct.POD, we sit down with the builder behind BSG Speed & Fab — a self-taught fabricator and welder who turned a passion for cars into real, hands-on builds.

Before YouTube car builds and viral swaps took over the internet, there was a wild, chaotic era of car TV — and it shaped everything.
