Dan will treat you like the garbage he believes everyone is, He and his shop have no clue and what the true meaning of custom metal work and design is and they will never be as good as they think they are or as good as the show sometimes depicts them to be as a whole...

I was vacationing in the area of FW so I stopped in to see what the place was like. I have been a fan for a while and am a big car buff. My wife and I went in the front door and we were immediately confronted by Audrey, the office manager. I mentioned I am a fan and...

I love this guy. Finally a show about what realistically happens during a restoration. Anyone who’s done several restorations will agree. Always problems!
