"Hi, I'm Doug. I work with 20 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. Next thing Alex is going to do is clean up the edges from his cut. He needs to custom trim the trunk floor and the car where he has cut it to fit exactly. These grinders are easily available, you can get them from $60 - 100.00. They are easy to use, they spin real fast. You will want to get a Roloc base for it, so that you can easily change the grinder pads and get to work grinding! This grinder will spin 15 rpms. It will only go one direction. It has a safety here, so you can't accidently cut. You will have to push the safety, in order for it to work."
