DOUG JENKINS: Hi. I'm Doug. I work with 20 great guys in St. Louis at Doug Jenkins Custom Hot Rods, and we're going to do some work for you today on Expert Village. So to make it easier to get to the engine, because it's probably coming out, it's really easy to get the hood off of this car. So we'll go ahead and pull the hood. That will give him more light, make it so that he's less likely to damage anything on the hood as he's doing his work. I'll hold this side. You can go ahead and pull it out if you want. DAN: You got it? DOUG JENKINS: Yeah. DAN: Take it all the way off? DOUG JENKINS: Yeah. And then we'll find a nice, safe place to put it.
