Anyway thanks for everything.

  • Cornwell well tools

    First off I love your energy and enthusiasm. I have watched and listened to you Mr. David for years. After I was Honorably Discharged from the Army. I worked as a mechanic in 1993-94 I bought from a Cornwell Truck a light blue handled No.2 Phillips screwdriver.

    To this day that screwdriver 🪛 is one of the most prized tools in all the tools that I own. I pray that nothing ever happens to that screwdriver lol id be deviated. Thank you for ALL THAT YOU DO SIR.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

FAST Talk with Ford Racing and Retroformance
Q: What makes Ford's crate engine program different from others in the market?
Ford emphasizes robust, high-quality components— forged pistons, rods, and a forged steel crank— backed by extensive dyno development and long-term reliability, with options ranging from bare blocks to complete assemblies and a warranty, ensuring you're buying value and longevity rather than a race-to-the-bottom solution.
What's next for the Catalog Camaro?
Q: What is your approach when starting a project with a new customer?
Establish a relationship and bond with the customer from day one; if that connection isn't strong, the project is unlikely to succeed, especially when parts or visions change.
Automotive Legend Peter Brock!
Q: How do you feel seeing replicas of cars you designed?
Brock feels honored that people recognize his designs in automotive history and notes the contributions of his team.
Automotive Legend Peter Brock!
Q: What are you most proud of achieving in your career?
Brock expresses pride in working with talented people but acknowledges the compromises made along the way.
Automotive Legend Peter Brock!
Q: Through BRE Racing, do you think the 240Z would have been as popular as it was if it wasn't for your success on the racetrack?
Brock believes that while BRE Racing helped, the beautiful design and affordability of the 240Z contributed significantly to its popularity.
