This week on Oil & Whiskey, we sit down with Ben VanEperen and Zach Raddatz from No Coast Custom & Rod Shop.


There’s a certain alchemy that happens when raw mechanical passion meets the kind of relaxed, behind-the-scenes conversation usually reserved for a garage late at night. That’s the atmosphere you’ll find on Oil and Whiskey with Roadster Shop. Hosted by Jeremy Gerber, Phil Gerber, and Josh Henning, this podcast pulls back the curtain on the world of high-end custom muscle cars and chassis building straight from the experts who do it every day. You’re not just getting a polished show; you’re getting a seat at the bench in their shop. Episodes dive into the nitty-gritty details of current builds, break down emerging technology and techniques, and swap stories from the road and major events. It’s a mix of practical tips, industry news, and the unfiltered insights that come from a team with decades of collective experience. Whether you’re deep into a project of your own or just appreciate the craft, this podcast connects the dots between hard work and the camaraderie that fuels it. Tune in for genuine shop talk that feels like hanging out with the crew.
