TMCP #547: Mike Good – The Science of Dynamat! How to Choose Sound Deadening and Heat Insulation Without Going Crazy.
This week on The Muscle Car Place is with a great industry insider Mike Good, the CEO of Dynamat! I enjoy learning about the science and history of brands that I have used before, an Dynamat is one I’ve used numerous times for numerous reasons. I always new it to be in the sound deadening space because all of the guys in my high school used it in their “thumper” cars with the huge stereos. I’ve used it for different reasons on my cars; specifically heat abatement (headers are hot). This was my chance to learn the brand and the tech in one shot!
Mike has a long history of business leadership at the executive level across a number of different genres, even academia. He was previously the CMO of FinishMaster (automotive paints) and started a communications company that was really good at tracking things through software and GPS. He has been interested in cars his whole life and has been in the industry for decades. Today he’s proud to be the leader of Dynamat, a place that can tinker with car products (and other things) day in and day out.

Note: This movie review originally aired in Episode 99 of the Kibbe and Friends Show!
K&F Show Summary: In the mind of Corndog, this movie is the ’69 Charger movie of movies. I think he’d even rather have a DMCL (screen used) Charger than a screen used General Lee. He’s crazy, because this super weird 1974 box office smash starring Peter Fonda is a whacked-out example of what happens when directors and actors all use drugs while making a movie. The only redeeming thing is the stunts and the Charger. Al Wyatt, Jr is in it though, so maybe this is where he and the Charger first melded together to form the most dynamic duo ever on automotive cinematic history. Watch it for the car stunts and the helicopter flying and skip the rest. (Editor’s Note: Kibbe is the only one of the three of us that feel this way, but since he’s the guy that types this stuff up his opinion is what counts the most, apparently.)

KF Show Summary: If there were ever an episode where I learned the love of a good car, it was this! Luke gets hypnotized into selling the General Lee so that Boss can have it demolished (i.e. murdered) and out of his life, once and for all. And as the smartest and best shot Duke boy….he does what no one else could do; not Boss, Rosco, Uncle Jesse, the President of the United States, or even Bo…..he gets rid of the General. And by doing so unknowingly sentences the General to death. And when it looks like the General is indeed doomed, Cooter without hesitation gambles his life to get the General back – and wins. And then Luke comes to his senses. And then he without hesitation gambles his life to save the General. And wins. All to save the life of a car….that as we know is just an inanimate object, but for some reason seems as alive to us as our dog. We’ve all had a car or a truck that we knew we loved and that loved us back. This episode sends that home.This is also the episode that we see the new look of the General that will last until the show ends. 10 Dogs.

KF Show Summary: If there is a car movie more cultish than the original 1971 film “Vanishing Point,” we don’t know about it. This is the movie that listeners have requested we review for years and for absolutely no reason it’s just never happened. Until now. With the recent passing of Kowalski himself (actor Barry Newman) we decided the time had come to give it it’s due. The thing is, of our trio none of us was really a hard core fanatic of the movie. We all had seen it at least once, but that was about it. Thankfully Greg Hagemann, our expert from the KF Patreon gang, stepped up to help…..and then just took over so we wouldn’t screw it up. He knew the movie inside and out and was armed with facts for days about the artistic side of the movie as well as the nerdy automotive side. He even owns and drives a “modern” Kowalski Challenger to back up his street cred. 10 Dogs.

KF Show Summary: On our quest for a Father’s Day episode we decided to review this one! This is the episode where Luke, an ex boxer in the Marines who nearly accidentally killed someone, has to choose his Uncle Jesse’s farm or to trade his soul. And he can’t choose either. Uncle Jesse knows that he has a dilemma to help Luke with, but instead of giving him the answer (which he COULD d0), he helps Luke learn how to make an impossible decision on his own. Because that’s what fathers do best; teach their kids how to make the tough decisions and be better for it. And then Luke punches the bad guy out, wins the farm anyway, and Jack Gill makes jumping history in the General Lee with the first ever “bungee” suspension vest. 10 Dogs.

KF Show Summary: There was a time in this country where you could do anything and subjective morals said that drugs – like marijuana were evil, but objectification of women…..was a good thing. Smoke em if you got em, right? Times have changed. Anyway, this is the one where Bo and Luke accidentally pick up a water heater that’s really a giant box of marijuana meant for a crime Lord (that old chestnut). In 1980, that meant sexy private detectives in a convertible Trans Am were comin’ after you! It also meant that in 1980 the Dukes of Hazzard had so much juice that this was the SECOND time a new spinoff plot would be introduced in an episode. The Dukes partner up with the detectives, take down the bad guys, right the wrongs, wear the tight jeans, climb the mountains in short shorts, and all’s right with the world. Except the spinoff. Didn’t happen. Thought it was no fault of those jeans. 8.5 Corndogs.

Check out the brand new KF Show Shirt! It’s the CNH 320 Edition: https://teechip.com/themusclecarplaceKF Show Summary: This is the episode that will make you say the N-Word, 3 times! That’s right, I’m talking Nitrous, Nighties, and Nathan Warren. This is the episode where Cooter tries to prove he can build the fastest car in the county…..but only by ripping Bo and Luke apart to do it. Cooter trips on a pebble and shatters his ankle, forcing Luke to Drive his ‘68 Chevelle against Bo in the General Lee. Cousin against cousin. Car against car. Mone e mono. And while their egos started writing checks their butts couldn’t cash…eventually they had to concede that while they couldn’t not try their best to win, the each always wanted to see the other succeed. And they ended wit two broken cars crossing the finish line, one forward, one backward, in a photo finish tie of cousinly love, making all the wrongs right. Also, nighties need to make a comeback. Rating: 10-Perfect Corndogs.

K&F Show #262: We Don’t Have Friends…we have Family. The OG Movie Review of “The Fast and the Furious”
Presented with Holley! https://www.holley.com
Holley is the company behind Nitrous Oxide Systems…..but thanks to the FF Franchise it’s better known as “NOS” (pronounced “nawsss”). It’s exactly what you think it is, and it does exactly what you think it does. Need a 125HP shot on your 200 horse daily driver? Go for it. It’s America, bro!

Check out the brand new KF Show Shirt! It’s the CNH 320 Edition: https://teechip.com/themusclecarplaceK&F Movie Summary: With the premier of Fast X this weekend we decided that it was time to feature, nay, prepare for the onslaught of awesomeness that is coming. Accordingly, please enjoy our fully loaded rundown of Fast and Furious franchise trivia followed by the original review of the original movie (from Episode 44 of the Kibbe and Finnegan Show. ) Finnegan loved the movie. He also loved mini trucks. You be the judge.
This of course is a 20-plus year automotive franchise that took bunch of VCR and DVD player thieves to the stratosphere of international spies…..and proved that you can somehow do a burnout – AND a wheelie – and the same time. Jack Gill – who got his bones in the stunt world via the Dukes of Hazzard – has been the stunt coordinator for this series….and even Dukes stunt man Corey Eubanks was involved in the flipping of the bus in Fast 5. More importantly, this series pays attention to US. You’ll always see a car or two in here – sometimes in a major roll, that came right off the SEMA Show floor.
Fast X was supposed to be the finale of the series….but, just like those damn Marvel movies, this series prints money.
Picture Car Coordinator Dennis McCarthy has basically figured out how to make ‘68-’70 Chargers from carbon fiber and cheez-whiz at this point, so we say keep e’m coming!

Presented with Holley! https://www.holley.com

Check out the brand new KF Show Shirt! It’s the CNH 320 Edition: https://teechip.com/themusclecarplaceK&F Movie Summary: If Corndog were transported in time, this is where he’d end up. I get it now. American Graffiti is about a time when cars, car culture, cruising, and podcasters – which back then were called Radio Disc Jockeys – ruled and ruled supreme. This movie made actors into stars, in many cases – lifelong big time MOVIE Stars. Featuring Ron Howard,Paul Le Mat, Richard Dreyfus, and a young carpenter pulled back into acting by a friend – Harrison Ford, this is the tale of a yellow ‘32 Deuce against a big block ‘55 Chevy. Or is it? By the time this is done, you might be wondering if ‘58 Chevy’s are on the comeback….or if the whole movie was a setup for the 1980 Disney Classic “Herbie Goes Bananas,” co starting Terry the Toad himself, Charles Martin Smith. More so, American Graffiti is the launchpad of Star Wars….because as a result of this movie, George Lucas would have a blank checkbook for the rest of his life to do whatever he wanted. 10-stars.
