Tony Thacker

Rodcast Episode #25 // We are excited to announce a new episode of The Rodcast is now available and features Part 1 of a multi-part series of interviews with author and automotive journalist Tony Thacker. Tony’s career spans many decades and many disciplines, as he started out building custom choppers in his parent’s garage in Kent, England in the 1960s before entering the world of journalism during the era of Swinging London. By the 1980s, he would see himself move to America, where he became a shop manager for folks like Boyd Coddington before helping to build brands like the revived SoCal Speed Shop during the 1990s. Tony has seen and done it all, and his colorful telling of this journey has made for one of our most entertaining episodes to date. We hope you tune in and enjoy!
