I didn't see that episode, but I do like the show. They do some very nice work. Lane

You CAN do that-Just work slowly and carefully.

The problem isn't the first one, it's the matching one on the other side,....

Yeah, I saw it. Nice work, even if I didn't like the looks of the finished truck (I thought the bed line was too low with respect to the roadster cab, making the truck look stupid in profile). But they sure did some nice metalwork.

BTW, they did use bondo in a couple of places. There was a shot of one of the guys using a surform tool. The foreman also mentioned use of bondo to blend the lines in a couple of places. But they didn't use much, mostly they shaped the bare metal.

The other thing I didn't like was the flat black paint job. It may be the current rage in some circles, but I don't like it.

I also wasn't very impressed by their shop practices. They were plasma cutting and MIG welding using only *sunglasses* and wearing Tee shirts. That's just stupid. They're all going to get cataracts and skin cancer.

My brother has cataracts, he lives up north and wouldn't know which end of a plasma cutter is for what. I thought they made safety glasses that had a 3 or 5. At least sunglasses would have some level of UV protection. Unlike a certain show where the eyelids are supposed to fully protect them,...

Flat black. Looks good on my barbeque. I like the show with Boyd (American something?). He's got a killer bodyman at that shop.
