David Salvaggio, Co-Founder, Vice President, and Lead Builder of SpeedKore Performance Group, joins Robert Ross (online) to discuss the special cars David has worked on, the place of carbon fiber in the restoration and automotive design industry, and what David sees on the horizon for car enthusiasts.
Robert jumps right in by asking David to elaborate on what SpeedKore's philosophies are before focusing on the company's predilection for Chargers (1:03), before having David review the cars of note his company has built, rebuilt, and enhanced (3:50). Then David explains why car owners should consider carbon fiber as an option for restoring or upkeeping their classic cars (9:16), considers the need for artisan expertise in car making (10:25), and the importance of education for younger enthusiasts (11:35). Then Robert asks David to recount a story about one of his particularly 'super' clients (12:48).
After a short break, Robert asks for 'Carbon Fiber 101' to learn what processes can help car owners and what options they should consider in their car purchases and restorations (17:27). After the rundown, Robert asks David to highlight some of the most aesthetically superior work that SpeedKore has done (25:22) along with some of the work he's doing in partnership with Classic Recreations (29:42). Lastly, Robert asks David to discuss how to get the next generation excited about cars which prompts David to share his own story and offers his help to young people getting started (33:55).
