TMCP #485: SEMA Show 2021 Special #1 – Mike Copeland, Hydrogen Powered Muscle Truck – Chevrolet Performance, 1000 Horse Crate Engine – Clay Millican, Drag Racing and Doing the Right Thing – Mike Pennington, Meguiars Ceramic Paint Protection
The SEMA Show is back for 2021 and I decided to send two guests hosts out to Vegas for a week to get interviews. This decision has resulted in some interesting and diverse guests quizzed by these two “wanna be” podcast stars. As a reset, this will be the first of several podcasts we’ll release through December featuring great interviews from SEMA.
Our two interviewers were Kirk Hansen and Scott Stap. You know Kirk Hansen as a long time show friend and supporter, as well as Scott Stap show writer from previous shows. These two hit the booths at SEMA and met up with old friends of the show as well as some great new companies to talk to. Armed with a mic and a camera they brought back content just for you from the wilds of Las Vegas!
K&F Show #206: David Freiburger!
Presented with Holley! For some reason, this show and Holley go together like tires and smoke – a perfect fit! We are happy to announce that we have signed a long term arrangement with Holley as Title Sponsor of this wacky show for the next year. If that doesn’t make you want to buy an awesome speed part, nothing will! Visit Holley.com and make SURE you tell them we sent you!
FEATURE INTERVIEW with DAVID FREIBURGER: We’re as shocked as you are. Five-and-a-half years after launching this show with Mike Finnegan we have finally landed his (one time) boss, mentor, adventurer, and Roadkillinginly cool buddy David Freiburger! David has become a staple in the automotive media landscape having spent 20-plus years in print before he ever came to YouTube and Television. He just recently penned his final piece for the February 2022 edition Hot Rod Magazine and last year filmed 61 individual episodes for various shows on the Motor Trend platform (Roadkill, Roadkill Garage, Engine Masters, etc.).
In this discussion you’ll learn what we all really wanted to know about living life in the fast lane, working a seemingly endless schedule, and never getting the chance to completely finish any project. Like us, David grew up believing that 1968 and ’69 Chargers were it when it came to the all invulnerable muscle car, as powerful as it is cool looking, as desirable to others as it faithful to its owner.
He enjoyed the Chargers of The Dukes of Hazzard (and has stories to tell), Dirty Marty Crazy Larry, and others, but his favorite is the one that he and Finnegan built together: General Mayhem. If you’ve followed that car over the years you know it has gone from a motorhome powered drifting underdog to a Hellcat powered drag car. David loved the first iteration of it and he’s just recently put it back to it’s original glory.

TMCP #484: Ask Rick – Collecting; Should You Search For a Specific Car or a GREAT Car?
It is the first week of November, Thanksgiving is upon us, and it’s time for another great Ask Rick segment! Rick and his father Jim curated an impressive car collection by purchasing what they liked more than what was “in demand,” but in this discussion we’ll learn that their first desire was to buy the best car possible, not the best one available. There’s a difference!
We also have one last interview to present from the Holley MOPARTY event a few weeks ago. Garrett Daniels at RND Fab Works came on to discuss how he created the totally functional; “General Lee Hoop” roll bar. How does one make a functional 2 point roll bar suitable for race belts? Easy….make it a 4-point bar with a removable cross bar as well!
K&F Show #205: Shorty Header for Marty McFly’s TOYOTA; Dukes of Hazzard S6E19 Review “Close Call for Daisy”

Dukes Review: There’s a plot. Too much plot, some good shots of the General, a cool jump or two…..and then I forget. The IMDB guy got it mostly right. Daisy gets confused by a hypochondriac mobster for being a nurse because she was in a church play that required extra short nurse outfits. And she switched her book of lines for the play with his book of illegal business and ill gottenness. So there’s that. The General Lee had carbon buildup, which is dumb, backfired, and then the whole episode is dealing with said hypochondriac. Luckily, Corndog found a detail on a GL with a 273 small block and nitrous!

Dukes Review: Hey great. Just what i want to talk about this week. Death, funerals, and graves. Welp, here goes….here’s the good news. There’s a jump and a cool slide of the General that almost hits the camera guy. Here’s the bad news. There’s no more good news. Bo isn’t in this episode, Dewey Hogg who we’ve never heard of is the bad guy – who I am assuming was only here because they couldn’t get Jeff Altman to play Hughie, and it gets even too cartoony for me. And I like dumb. 4 Corndogs.

TMCP #482 – In Memory of Dallas Kibbe, My Dad
This week will be a very short show as I am occupied with an event that I hoped would never come, but knew it someday would. My father, Dallas Kibbe, passed away from multiple issues that eventually the doctors could not overcome and he left this world to be with my God and my mom. I loved the time I spent with my dad and he left his mark on my life and his grandkids lives as well as many around him. He always encouraged my passion for vehicles and loved the shows I created with my friends. The last couple days were a special gift and I did get to use the Chevelle to bring back memories for him even if he was not strong enough to take one last ride.
Thank you listeners, for the amazing support in this time of grief. The show will be back soon and on track so thank you for this short intermission as I spend time with close family and friends.
Thank you Dad, for all of the lessons in life and for being my best friend!
-Rob Kibbe
TMCP #481: MOPARTY Special #1 – James Smith, Jumping the General Lee – Blake Anderman DIY Hemi, Hemi Swapped AAR Cuda – John O’Malley Boosted Motorsports, Hellkota Hellcat Swapped Dakota
Today’s guest is a lot of friends that we got to catch up with at the Second Annual Holley Moparty event in Bowling Green Kentucky. Justin “Corndog” Cornette, my cohost on the Kibbe and Friends show, and myself attended the event and captured the feeling of the gathering in some great interviews with old and new friends.
K&F Show #202: Kibbe’s Dad’s Cameo; Dukes of Hazzard S6E17 Review “Undercover Dukes, Part 2”

Dukes Review: This is the show that convinced you that you can spy on any secret conversation simply by hiding under a desk. I hid under my parents bed once for an hour to hear what I was getting for Christmas……but they never left immediately after spilling the beans like they do on TV and I eventually had to crawl out and got caught.
Anyway, this is part of the “Dukes Infiltrate the Mob” episode by racing in NASCAR, in an Oldsmobile, that’s supposed to be a Chevy, that someone wants to replicate out of a Buick. Solid story telling, vintage NASCAR, good stunts…….that’s fine. The introduction of glamping is here, and that’s nice. There’s not enough General Lee in this episode of course, but this the episode that the PC culture should watch….because the Duke that wins the NASCAR race – in one try – is Daisy. And in a true sign of playing both sides of the aisle, the Dukes get another phone call from the President of the Unites States. Now they’ve had a call from a Republican (Reagan) and a Democrat (Carter). Good episode. More General Lee, please. 6 Corndogs.
