    Going to try to get there during operating hours, all depends on if I can get out of the customer's shop early enough...

    If it doesn't look like what's on the show, it's because this is the new place they are moving to on the next episode...

    You guys down there really have those places filled with old cars? We don't have anything like that up here.

    I got a few minutes to pop in today, they are really nice, the new place has an 'observation window'- they were filming today so I had to be careful what got in the picture...

    'FRED', from the buildoff. A real nice clean bobber. You could jump o this bike and ride across the country- oh, wait- they DID!

    The Bronco turned out nice, considering the swiss cheese they started with.

    Interesting rod outside with a LOT of tire....

    The other side of the Swag Van...

    The paint is really sunbaked on it, you can see where they tried to wheel it out, but it's about as shiny as a 20 watt light bulb.

    They did end up fixing and selling the Mustang that got crunched, but took a pretty heavy loss on it.

    That's what I like about the show, they win some, lose some, and have a good time doing it.

    Beats the hell out of watching a family disintegrate while building bikes.

    I'd take that Swag Van in a heartbeat, sunbaked and all!
    Thanks for the cool pics. Aren't they giving away "Fred"? Thought I heard that on an advertisement for the show. If I won that, I bet I could parlait that into a really nice Econoline!

    I have been a fan for while myself. Oddly enough One of my fellow fabricator buddies just started working there believe it or not. He used to work at a shop next to ours and thats how I met him. His name is Dustin. I think he said he will be on 2 episodes from the last one.
