This weeks interview is with stunt effects builder Elia Popov  of J.E.M. F/X inc.  Elia was the foreman involved with building the General Lee's and other stunt cars for the 2005 Dukes of Hazzard movie and prepping them for action! During the interview he shared the details of how nearly 30 Chargers were built for various roles in the movie and what it was like to be a part of automotive movie history.

Elia has been involved with the movie industry and fabrications since age eighteen and loves to create quality tools to protect stunt people in their careers. As a lifelong muscle car enthusiast (and race team owner), making cars fly fast and safe was something that suited his company well!
