"Hi, I'm Doug I work with 20 great guys in Saint Louis at Doug Jenkins Custom Hot Rods and we are going to do some work for you today on Expert Village. Now Alex is going to reproduce the structural piece that little cross brace that was cut out during the exculpation process. This piece would be a little harder to make because we don't have the entire thing to mimic. But a lot of the stuff is pretty normal and he would be able to take from the little bitty piece that he has here to get the rest of it built. So he is just going to run the end of it while we would go to the plasma cutter and make those few cuts there and then he would be able to trim off the excess after its rough end. "
