    Great episode! One of my favorites so far! Hope you can go back and get the last part re recorded. He deserves another hour or two. So interesting to hear all the great stories. Especially the Lil John stuff, can’t wait to hear the John Robinson stuff. You and Carrie are doing a great job. Keep them coming while our older industry leaders are still able.

Max Grundy: Hot Rods, Art & Doing Things Different | The Strange Motion Way Ep. 127
Q: What was your first car and how did it influence your later work?
His first car was a 1952 Chevy pickup bought by his dad, which sparked a lifelong love for 1950s trucks and mid-century design that reframed his art and car building ambitions.
Pinstripes, Hot Rods & No Rules: Skratch Unfiltered | The Strange Motion Way Ep. 126
Q: What was your experience like on television, and how did it affect your career?
Television opened doors and expanded my audience beyond local shop visits; it exposed me to larger projects and clients, but I stayed focused on craft and reliability, using the exposure to grow the business rather than chasing every TV opportunity.
Pinstripes, Hot Rods & No Rules: Skratch Unfiltered | The Strange Motion Way Ep. 126
Q: How did you end up moving to California and what drove that decision?
I quit my job, packed up, and moved to California because I wanted to chase opportunities in pinstriping, art, and custom car work; it was a high-risk move driven by a belief in the potential of the West Coast scene and the demand for traditional styling.
