"Hi I'm Doug. I work with twenty great guys in St. Louis at Doug Jenkins Custom Hot Rods, and we're going to do some work for you today on Expert Village. Okay everything's nice and clean. Now the crew will be pushing the car into the shop and getting it all ready to work on. You can see it's nice and shiny, everybody's having to be careful of the paint there. We've got the stick them vinyl paper stuff on the fenders and on the rear, so that it protects the paint when we're working on both the convertible top and the engine. We did a convertible top on this car as well, so we had to protect that rear fender. Mark will center it there in his lift area. By golly, doesn't this look pretty? It looks like we keep a real clean shop, that's how it should be. Don't work with a bunch of junk. If you've got junk in your garage, box it up, put it in the basement, have a nice clean work area."
