"DOUG JENKINS: 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. After getting the tire pressures equal on all 4 wheels, Ralph is going to start by measuring pretty much a line straight through the center of the wheel to where that line intercepts the fender. You don't want to try to guess on each fender, where the high point is or where a particular body line is, you just want to measure a straight line through the center of the wheel, and he's going to record that on a piece of paper for each corner and see how they compare. So I hope you're impressed by watching Ralph's work, he's the slowest-moving, most accurate guy in the building. He's always very careful, he's always very thoughtful about every job he does. He doesn't run around and he doesn't make many mistakes. A very nice guy to work with."
