Summary

This week, marks the official return of summer and the one interview you can count on, Rick Love of Vintage Air! Rick has been on the show going back to episode 144 and Vintage Air was key in providing the Chevelle with its crisp cool breeze. I look forward to seeing Rick at SEMA every year. 2020 was a full year for us all, but especially Rick. He is now the President of Vintage Air and will soon be inducted into the SEMA Hall of fame!

I also asked Rick to speak on the state of the aftermarket as a whole in light of 2020's effects on everything (supply chain, material costs, shipping, etc.) and discuss the rise in quality we've seen the past 10 years for parts in general. In addition I had hoped he could speak to the impact and legacy of the late Craig Morrison.....which he did gracefully. Craig and his father Art worked hand in hand in growing Art Morrison Enterprises of course, but Craig was a friend to all. He'll be deeply missed and our sympathies go out to his wife, son, parents, and all extended family and friends.
