    This is probably the most bad ass video I've ever seen done in a shop. I plan on a week to do this job by myself lol

    I watched a bit of the livestream of this and Dave ripping his shirt off was the best part lol. The crew is amazing everyone working hard and not giving up.

    I’ve been waiting on this video since I watched the live. I could see them filming other things while the live was going on a whole lot of fun. One of the best videos I’ve ever seen for mechanic these guys are animals. They are true beast Mr. Dave, you are very lucky to have these guys you have, I really enjoyed this and thanks so much for putting it out there for us❤❤❤❤
