    I like Mike bellows work a lot. Also Karl at make it kustom. And Jordan, Bennett’s customs. And of course this channel. Over here we put jag front ends in trucks. The problem is finding good lhd racks. I got mine from Belgium. Looking forwards to episode two. How’s Shannon? My daughter is due in July. Her fourth boy. It’s not been an easy pregnancy as she has been so unwell. But it’s all worth it to have another little hot rodder helper as I get older. He will make number eight grandchild. Love the content keep it up.

    Have to agree with Tim Ferris's viewing choices, but I'd also include Brent at HalfAss Kustoms, and Matt
    at Iron Trap Garage. All you guys do spot-on work, without necessarily producing "show quality" vehicles.
    Drivability is the keyword [in my opinion]

Sadly Pick a part in Chilliwack closed down , there you could get one for $200 . I got a good laugh at Jim for showing some attitude at the end there . Shannon must be ready to pop about now eh ? .
