John Wargo of The Custom Shop

This week on Oil & Whiskey, we’re joined by John Wargo of The Custom Shop. John has been at it since 1988, building everything from wild mini trucks and graphic-heavy show vehicles to muscle cars, SEMA builds, custom paint, and full-blown one-off projects. This one gets into the early days, building cars right out of high school, work ethic, the evolution of the custom car world, SEMA stories, magazine features, old builds coming back around, and what it really takes to keep doing this at a high level for decades.
