    Video Transcript

    "Hi. I'm Doug. I work with twenty great guys in St. Louis at Doug Jenkins Custom Hot Rods and we are going to do some work for you today on Expert Village. When you are doing a structural repair, which this little job has sort of turned into, we are cutting away that inner body member. That's actually a structural member of the car. It's part of the material needed to keep the car rigid. If it were a more substantial structure member, we would have to brace the car. This piece here is more of a crash protection piece than it is an important key element in the car's structural rigidity. So we are able to do the repair here without major re-bracing of the car to hold it stable while we do the cutting. "
