    I cant speak for Mike, but I can tell you there is some reality to the time crunch. For instance, on the show at the auction, it is not uncommon for cars to get detailed at auction sites. In fact, Mothers has a team at Barrett Jackson doing just that! For the Petersen museum, my guess is those cars were not brought out of the vault until the last minute so they wouldnt get damaged by any construction. For SEMA, if I were Kyle Tucker, I probably would want my car detailed at the very last moment as well for the battle of the builders show. So it might be a little exaggerated, but not totally

    I get LOTS of feedback, some negative, the majority is positive.


    Im sure anything negative people have said is beyond what you are able to control. Your doing a great job!

    This may be a late response, but I was on vacation last week and just saw this...

    For the Ridler episode, the time crunch was real as well. Derick Sampson was headed for Detroit very early the next morning. In fact, when we were done he had the transport trailer sitting in front of the shop ready to load the car. Other employees had already loaded the display stand pieces on the truck. Since the show started a day or two after we completed the work, I have no doubt that car went in the transporter as soon as the TV production crew left the shop.
