The Big Mike Interview

How It's Done Podcast

For the seventh episode of my podcast, I flew out to Southern California for a weekend and during my stay got the chance to sit down with the one and only Big Mike. Mike has been building cars for many years and is known around the world for his award winning SEMA builds; most notably his 1992 Honda Prelude. Mike also MC’s and judges at car shows, freelances for print magazines, designs and builds cars for other people and was recently featured on Fast n Loud- a tv show where Richard Rawlings and Aaron Kaufman search for forgotten and derelict classic cars to restore. We talked about Hondas, the state of the car scene now vs back when he started out, car magazines, quality parts vs fake parts, SEMA, his relationship with Ryan Basseri aka Rywire, hard work, being on TV, car show tours, advice for the youth and much more! Mike is on of, if not the smartest person I’ve gotten the chance to sit down and talk to. It was really nice to get to hear his insight and experience. The car community needs more people like Mike in it! INSTAGRAM: @thebigmike @canibeat_cristian @canibeat_crew @howitsdonepodcast ADDITIONAL SUPPORT BY: @mkoziel @porchhousepictures @sup_koolaid_chris
