Thanks so much Kenny for including me on this project. I had the honor to work on the murals at Lions Automobilia Museum with Kenny. It’s a MUST SEE. Actually saw grown men get choked up walking through there.
Why aren't there more Subscribers? Stories 'n Steel is, by far..... The best channel on TH-cam. It's as if the rest of the car-heads are going to catch on .... In a while!!!
Legendary person. He's an interview you don't need to ask any questions of, that was his abbreviated history in one speel! :) Loved it, such a huge influence on my illustration life.
DAM!!!!! You got The Man "Kenny Youngblood" on your show. HOW COOL IS THAT!!! Excellent Excellent interview. I've been freaking out over his stuff for YEARS. Thanks 😊
I met Kenny at his studio years ago at his studio. As I opened the door he was coming down stairs to go to lunch. He took me upstairs and told me I could look around and if I had any questions just ask. He was so cool. Since we crossed paths many times and when I worked for PPG I was able to have him at our booth a SEMA signing art work for the fans. What a great friend and mentor to me. Excellent Storie Thanks!!!
What a cool human. To have been able to experience the things he did, create what he's been able to create, and yet to remain so cool and so down to earth. Thank you Kenny. Your work inspires me to push beyond what I've been doing, and to grow as a person and an artist!
Kenny... I had the pleasure of meeting you years ago, I think you had an office on North Tustin? I just wanted to say that your talents (and several others you have noted) are a HUGE contributing factor in the explosion of the funny car in the 70's. It's one thing to have a pretty car, it's quite another, more infinitely marketable, thing to have created a "name", a personality and character for the car. It was a stroke of genius. The CAR was the star. You could book three different "Jungle Jim" cars at three different tracks the same weekend. Didn't matter as much who was driving, if it had the graphics! The idea that the CAR was the star, it could sell T-shirts, posters, and the beautiful creative graphics and characters you adorned the cars with facilitated that entire movement. The drag cars were already cool, but you guys made 'em the COOLEST! Thank you for your artistry. The world of drag racing owes you BIGTIME!
I visited Kenny's shop about 1991. At the time he had the Cadziila and the Hogzilla at his shop. They had done a photo shoot the day before. The reason why I went there was because I wanted to see for real how he painted the chrome the on fiberglas front ends of race cars. Very nice man.

Kenny is a legend. His funny car paint jobs in the 70/80s were amazing.
Thanks for the interview! I’d only known of Kenny’s automotive art before this interview.

FCM was a premiere online magazine, not just car related, all subjects.
I sure miss it.
Thanks Kenny
