Emma Sauve of Mobsteel and Detroit Steel Wheel brings the energy as she joins host Dan Davis and Josh Welton on this episode of The Fabricator Podcast, in partnership with Miller Electric at SEMA 2023 in Las Vegas. Emma talks about the history of Mobsteel and how its focus on customizing Lincoln Continentals from the 1960s led to the creation of Detroit Steel Wheel in 2012, which specializes in fabricating and designing custom wheels for big-body styled cars. Emma also talks about her job as the digital creative force behind both efforts and her love of telling the stories of customers in the aftermarket industry. She also discusses the importance of creating American-made products in Detroit, her favorite Mobsteel/Detroit Steel Wheel builds (including the 1966 Motorcity Vice Lincoln Continental), and working with business co-founders Pam and Adam Genei and lead fabricator Steve Ryan. At the top, Emma joins Dan and Josh to talk about the SEMA afterparty at the Sosa Metalworks shop, lowriders, and a metal sculpture of a skull by Luis Varela-Rico.

This Made Your Custom Wheels Possible Custom "Mag" wheels have been popular for cars since the 1970's.

Charles Hall, a student working in his parents garage inOberlin, OH changed all that. In 1886. In 1888 he founded the company we know as Alcoa. On the other side of the Atlantic, a French Chemist named Paul Heroult, developed the same process.
