The Subtle Art of Thrashing a Build - David Newbern | 28

What Moves You | Speedway Motors Podcast

David Newbern was always into cars, but he wasn’t always into cars on-camera. That is, until someone named Mike Finnegan moved nearby and needed shears and a finger brake.
Growing up, David tagged along with his father to every car show possible, watching while his dad worked a kind of car guy magic to trade cars on the spot. They’d show up in one, and drive home in another, which happened as many as 20 times. His father’s habit of swapping cars on a moment’s notice gave a young gearhead practice on the idiosyncrasies of various cars and engines.
Before his television career, David made a profession out of installing gates, security cameras and construction. On the side, he was always building something with a passion to get it rolling as soon as possible. After trading his ‘71 Camaro for a ‘26 Essex Coupe, the Buick nailhead began knocking as soon as he got it home. He had a 2004 LS1 on the garage floor before LS swaps were common and made it work.
That old spirit of getting it running no matter what made David fit right in with the Roadkill crew. The rest, we already know. We’ve always been big fans of David and it was a pleasure to have him on the podcast.
