Jasmine Green, known as 6-4 Stout on Instagram, joins the Oil and Whiskey podcast to discuss her groundbreaking Toyota Stout build, a project that has captivated the global custom car community. Born from a passion for mini trucking sparked at 17 with her first Hilux, Jasmine’s journey into metalwork began organically—learning through trial, error, and a deep love for artistic freedom. Her build, housed in a sprawling Australian paddock (a field with cars and crops), is a masterclass in hand-formed sheet metal, bead rolling, and intricate detailing, blending 1960s styling with modern fabrication. She shares her creative process, emphasizing the joy of improvisation, the importance of patience in finishing, and the challenges of navigating Australia’s strict vehicle regulations. Despite working full-time as an auto trimmer and collaborating with her partner on his business, WasFab, Jasmine balances her personal project with relentless curiosity and a willingness to fail. She discusses her future aspirations, including mastering engraving and custom paint, and reflects on the evolving culture of car building, from the wild days of mini truck shows to today’s more mature, technically rigorous scene. Her story is one of resilience, artistry, and the quiet confidence that comes from mastering a rare craft. The episode also touches on practical insights, including her use of affordable Australian tools like Metal Masters, her clever methods for transporting parts (like hiding chopped truck beds in sleeping bags), and her admiration for legends like Adam Banks and Ray Covers. Jasmine’s advice to aspiring fabricators—don’t fear mistakes, embrace the scrap, and keep creating—resonates deeply. With a dream of building a classic 1950s Chevy or Cadillac, she remains grounded in the joy of the process. The conversation ends on a warm note, with hosts inviting her to visit their shop in Mundelein, Illinois, underscoring the global camaraderie within the custom car world. Jasmine’s work stands as a testament to what’s possible when passion meets precision.
