Diggin' In The Tapes | Bob Bleed

In this episode of Diggin’ In The Tapes, I introduce you to my buddy, my brother the rock n roll machine Mr. @bobbleed . [Link in Bio]
In 2003 when I was looking for stories for volume 1 of mad fabricators, I remember reading a CK deluxe magazine that featured this great story about how this young guy in Wisconsin had taken his dad’s hot rod and rebuilt it. Then, when I was on the hamb that same guy started posting. I thought it was the coolest story ever, and I knew I had to go out to Wisconsin meet and shoot this guys story. Once I arrive and we hung out we were instabros [TM]. From that moment on Mad Fabricators was in full swing! Without Bob Mad Fabricators Society would not be what it became. His partnership in this made the videos unique and brought a sort of vibe that most viewers can relate too hanging with their good buddies, screwing around, having fun and causing a ruckus. So I figured this would be a start to Diggin in The Tapes official MFS episode with my buddy that made MFS shine with the story of his amazing survivor hot rod!

I can hinestly say Mad fabricators changed my life. The music, the videos, the images, the whole feel i got from it. I was in my early teens and kind of a loner, didn't fit in anywhere and it opened up a whole world to me. I really miss those days. Thanks Bob and Pierro!

So cool looking back at all these videos. After seeing this video back in the day and reading about the night, owl diner, car show on The HAMB, was stoked to visit Milwaukee. As fate would have it shortly there after my race team, I was working for went to Wisconsin and I was able to hook up with some of the cheaters and meet them and see all their cool cars at their houses. I feel like these videos all played apart in my formative years of traditional Hot Rodding.

[@MADFABRICATORSTV]

Man cool story.. The Cheaters are good people!

[@Woodbilly_Lifestyle218]

I met Bob 2 years ago at Flatout Friday in Milwaukee. I was so excited to meet him i accidentally hit the power button instead of the camera button when I took our selfie! 😂😂

[@2snow]

Been a fan from the start, love it! One of my favorite episode is when Bob chops a red shoebox

[@thumpershd]

A very cool episode and lovin all the vintage hot rod action. Hope you are feeling better Piero and can get back to working on Tweedy Pie again!

[@randyolsen8648]

Never enough Bob Bleed! Thanks for this one.

[@protc]

Bob is awesome, i picked up the stude duel carb intake from him that i have on my 30 A. keep the Digging in the tapes coming.

[@MADFABRICATORSTV]

Oh kick ass!! There so much more to come!

[@nickpappas4133]

Pretty cool to look back in time.

[@valhallakustom5307]

Cool to see this again with the updates. Met Bob years before this on the way to "Back to the 50s" show coming from Milwaukee to Minnesota. I was instantly drawn in by the pipes and was blown away by the car. He told me the story and was a very cool, understated guy. I'm happy for Bob's longevity and success and hope that you are doing better and improving every day.

Yuppers, just keeps getting better! Keep 'em coming, can't wait to see the next treasure from the vault! Go Mad Fabricators, keep moving forward!

[@joelstinson2886]

Haven't seen that footage of the cheaters cars in years, that part kinda gives me chills its just so cool i can't believe it!

[@MADFABRICATORSTV]

Them Cheaters were some special people haha

[@32road]

Ol’ Bob is hangin’ tough!! Good stuff!

[@1936fordcrazy]

Mad fabricators is one of the many reasons I'm currently building a traditional hot rod out of my 36 ford sedan. Glad your feeling better and keep up the good work!

[@MADFABRICATORSTV]

Hell yeah! Glad we can be some influence for you! And thanks feeling the best I ever have!

[@TrashcanGarage]

I think it was the random Tweedy Pie vid popping up here on YT that intro'd me to MFS. Went to eBay and found the first three DVDs and got hooked for life.

[@timferriss905]

There you go. The story I have to tell you has this very man at the hart of it. What fellow bob bleed is. The shot of him sitting on the John was so funny. Take care all the best. Tim.

[@MADFABRICATORSTV]

Haha good times!

[@johnagnew8754]

Fantastic! Great family history to go with such a fun machine, so cool to have them both on the show-beautiful!!

[@dinxsy8069]

When this started i thought i hope there's some Bobby Bleed on these along the line, read the description...boom. Also Alex Gambino, i don't know what it is about the fella but seems low key badass ha ha.

[@zepoletto]

Amazing story! 👏🏼👏🏼

[@bmcshane80]

Found your channel when you started Tweedy Pie, had never heard of Mad Fabricators but LOVED your style so I went looking and found the OG Mad Fabricators eps streaming on TUBI of all places! I dont think we got the DVD's here in Oz back in the day, i bought EVERY Car show DVD I could get my hands on back then but dont remember seeing it Absolutely LOVE what you do Piero, keep this series going! Reminds me of DJ Premiers TAPE's, which is AWESOME if you like 90's Hip Hop btw

[@MADFABRICATORSTV]

Well I’m glad you found us!! Haha I used to sell the DVDs in OZ a long time ago.. I had a few vendors I’d send them too.. Funny you mention DJ premier.. yes I’m an old hip hop head and totally stole this idea from “So what’s up” hahah I was watching it and thought I should do a similar thing with all my tapes 😂😂 I love that show and Premier!

[@dkcarroll13]

So awesome! You should make a playlist with all the music you include

[@marshallcrank]

I fucking love this shit . I'm building a 31 ford, about to chop it .

[@davidsoiferman5158]

@@MADFABRICATORSTV welcome

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Enjoyed!!! 🤜🤛

[@MADFABRICATORSTV]

👊🏼👊🏼

[@ohhhtom1]

Diggin' this series, keep it going. Your videos keep me motivated to keep working on my 30 Model A highboy. Is Bob Bleed still in Austin or did he move back to Wisconsin?

[@MADFABRICATORSTV]

Awesome glad we can motivate!! No Bob has been back in Wisconsin for many years now.. if you dig through my videos there’s a series we did when he came back “Midwest Speed and Power” that covers a bunch..

[@tertessa]

Really enjoyed your video...for some reason I can't like the video... Went back to the video and was able to like your video 👍

[@MADFABRICATORSTV]

Thanks and that’s weird? Been getting likes from others 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@knutbkristiansen]

Awesome episode
