1. Model Car Culture Podcast focuses on Big Dave and Blvd Resin planning the Left Coast Scale Classic. 2. 65Lokes hosts Big Dave and Frankie, also known as Boulevard Resin, because both have long histories in model cars and show promotion. 3. The episode asks what kind of event can keep scale-car culture moving after NNL West talk turned uncertain. 4. Frankie says he first met Dave about 20 years ago at the International Primer National while vending die cast, T-shirts, and tiki items. 5. He says the friendship grew through shows, and Dave says he still has the engraved glass award from Winfield. 6. Frankie points to an article in Lowrider magazine and says he was in it twice. 7. The hosts connect that history to the idea that the new show is built by people who have spent years in the hobby. 8. Frankie says his taste has changed from chasing vintage 1964 and 1962 kits in boxes to valuing different grails. 9. He says he has not been casting resin much lately because his day job got more intense and his commute got longer. 10. He adds that the new show has re-inspired him to finish builds, including a 1953 Chevy started last month. 11. Dave shows a Corvette built for the FFA build-off and explains the paint as pearl white, cobalt blue candy, and Mr. Clear. 12. Frankie says his first time airbrushing came out well, and Dave agrees the finish looks good. 13. The venue discussion centers on Ventura County Fairgrounds, a 21,000-square-foot space with two large quonsets. 14. Dave says the team looked at Santa Maria first but found it too small and too far north for most Southern California builders. 15. Frankie argues that the format should include 1:64, 1:24, 1:25, 1:10 RC cars, Hot Wheels, Matchbox, and 3D-printed accessories. 16. Dave says the show is meant to be a three-ring circus under one big top, with different scale communities in one room. 17. The tone is conversational and promotional, with the hosts trading stories, reacting to builds, and answering live questions about the show. 18. The format mixes interview, hobby talk, and practical event details such as admission, theme, awards, and travel logistics. 19. Model builders, Hot Wheels collectors, RC fans, and Southern California road-trippers will get the most value from this episode. 20. Listeners wanting a tight technical tutorial or a non-car topic may skip it.
