The Beat Goes On! Words by Jimmy B Photo’s by Marty Crain—Southern Wheels In Motion—Street Rods by Michael
Michael also had another love that was as strong as music….that’s right...CARS!
Life is funny….you never know where it’s going to take you. Just ask Michael Young.
After settling in Nashville, Michael decided to open a hot rod shop. In between bad deals, he was working on and building cool cars. Street Rods by Michael was officially opened in 1990.
Michael grew up in the great state of Oregon. While growing up, he discovered drums and that he liked playing them. He plays them very well as he has toured with and played with some of the big name bands and artists out there. That music eventually brought Michael to Nashville TN.
Over time, the shop location in Nashville became too small for the amount of work that was coming in the door and the decision was made to expand and grow Street Rods by Michael. Next stop….Shelbyville TN. Over the next 27 plus years, a lot of parts and cars have gone thru the SRBM shop. Multiple NSRA Give away cars have been built by SRBM. ISCA class winners have been put together and an AMBR contender also! The resume speaks for itself. 48
49
To celebrate 27 plus years of Street Rods by Michael, Michael and his wife Rose held an open house event. Gearheads from the middle Tennessee and Mid-South Region came out to enjoy a day of pure hot rod fun. (check out just some of the cool rides here) The event had giveaways from some of the major hot rod manufactures, free food and drink, learning how to punch louvers and a whole lot more was going on and a good time was had by all. As SRBM heads towards 28 years and more Michael is still enjoying his two loves, music and hot rods...not a bad gig if you ask us. For more info feel free to contact Street Rods by Michael at http:// www.srbymichael.com/ or give them a call at 888-680-0011 or check them out on Facebook or Instagram too.
