On this episode, we are joined by Chris Steinbacher. Chris is the content creator behind the wildly popular YouTube channel ” B is for Build “. Chris’s journey has documented one man’s love for cars while showing what it takes to do some serious DIY automotive magic from your own home.
The journey has developed a cult-like following and captured some incredibly candid and pivotal milestones that have helped to shape the channel. Things like Chris getting laid off from his original full-time job and making the jump to a full-time content creator.
If you’re a fan of B IS FOR BUILD take an hour out to listen to Chris’s story, being a professional poker player, how is started B is for Build, getting laid off, his favorite builds, how he is off camera, what builds are next and even thoughts on some of his builds such as the GT-R, 240sx, and so much more!
Thanks for all of your support and listening!

In Pro1 make sure to look out for Kevin Lawrence and Matt VanKirk as they attempt to qualify.
In Pro 2, FIVE out of SEVEN Konig Drivers qualified into the top 16. Travis Reeder, Kelsey Rowlings, Adam Knapik, Ryan Litteral and Geoff Donati.
Travis Reeder is your #1 seed as he qualified with a 95! You should also note that Travis won this event last year so he’s looking for a repeat victory!
