Builder Series Episode16 - Darien White

Darien White joins the show to talk about a journey that started at just 14 years old, wrenching on an old S10 with a blown head gasket and a grandpa who was willing to teach him the ropes. That early spark turned into a lifelong drive: autobody school, self‑taught welding, and a passion for building cars the hard way — by learning every lesson firsthand.

Darien breaks down the first full build he ever tackled and the mistakes that shaped him. Now he’s stepping into the Outlaw Class for the High Class Trash Invitational, choosing freedom over restrictions so he can push his skills — and his creativity — as far as they’ll go. His project for the build‑off? A 1940 GM truck that’s already testing his limits in all the right ways.

Matt and Darien dig into what it really means to drive low, the quirks and hazards you only learn from experience, and the truck sitting in the corner that Darien’s wife has her eye on for a future build. They also get into how auctions are reshaping the car market and what that means for everyday builders.

At the end of the day, Darien reminds us why this culture matters: car people are down‑to‑earth folks who just want to keep the scene alive — one build, one story, one late‑night garage session at a time.
