DOUG JENKINS: Hi, I'm Doug. I work with twenty 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. You can see how they used this original steel piece here to do some reinforcing of the wood corners. Now Ralph's got the--you know the inside pieces pulled out of there. He just got a few more pieces to remove before he can get the seat frame out of the car. He's getting some help here to remove the driver side seat back and it doesn't have that panel on the side like the other side but the car did. And then there's the wooden structure built into the floor, it's got a metal bottom to it, removing that. Now we have you know good access to the frame of the car and across members so we can get them straight. This customer did elect to have the job properly done, you know straightening the frame, reinforcing the wood where it was cracked so that everything will work nicely when it's done. You can see here--there's everything, what it looks like with the floor removed.
