Description
The Stuff I Usually Cut Out... Ever wonder what really goes on inside a small hot rod shop? Come behind the scenes as I work on my 1964 Chevy II Nova Pro Street build with the camera rolling the whole time. No fancy edits, no TV magic—just real fabrication, problem solving, welding, and the occasional "what was I thinking?" moment.
If you're building your own hot rod, rat rod, race car, or just enjoy old-school fabrication, I hope you'll pick up a few tricks and have a few laughs along the way.
