"Hi, I'm Doug. I work with twenty great guys in St. Louis at Doug Jenkin's Custom Hot Rods, and we're going to do some work for you today on Expert Village.

Little chunks of metal that fell off when he was welding. So he cleans all that out of the trunk. No dirt in here at all when you go to paint.
