460: Too Many Projects, Not Enough Garage: Nathan Muntz is Back!

This week we're joined by returning guest Nathan Muntz, and things get gloriously out of control almost immediately. We start with garage therapy, project bikes, robot vacuums, and Dan's ongoing struggle to get rid of stuff faster than he acquires it. Along the way we stumble into a surprisingly interesting German parking light law, talk about Avants' new SwissTrax partnership, and answer a question about where Dan's Drives disappeared to (hint: https://avants.com/dansdrives). Then Nathan drops by with whiskey, stories, and enough automotive projects to make us feel better about our own. We dive into his collection, including a Land Rover Defender with a fresh Chevy straight-six swap, a growing fleet of rare Muntz Jets, and one of the most unusual support vehicles we've ever discussed: a Volvo military ambulance imported from Sweden that's now hauling race gear and serving as part camper, part toolbox, and part historical artifact. We also talk vintage racing, the challenges of importing parts from overseas, why every project somehow needs an engine swap, and the eternal question every enthusiast faces: Do you need a bigger garage, or fewer cars? Plus: Project bike updates Corks & Cars Off-Road Edition Muntz Jet history and registry stories Volvo race support vehicles Ferrari project car temptations Garage organization failures The growing bird welfare state at Dan's house Car-themed whiskey recommendations As always, it's less about the destination and more about the stories you pick up along the way. Don't just get there. Enjoy the drive. The Avants Podcast is brought to you by our friends at STEK USA and Carter Seattle!
