Got interviewed by the local TV guy

[Mopar Steve]

The show airs in different parts of the country, but some of the videos are posted on his web site. www.JimmybiggsTV.com . My interview is under 2005 videos, Shop stop with Steve Gray. TV is much harder than one would think. I felt like a real tool. Ok let the jokes begin.

Go to "on Demand" then "new"

Congratulations-was this a human interest story, or beause of a recent accomplishment(i.e., what was the reason for the interview)? For the benefit of us dial-up only low bandwidth surfers who don't get the TV program, how about a recap, that is with less of the being a "tool" (j/k).

I am building a '68 HEMI Dart. We breifly discussed my nitrous shot on the viper then talked about the build up of the HEMI Dart. It is currently bare body tub in primer. I should have most body work done and doors and front clip installed in about a week. I hope to run it in the "factory apearing stock tire class" FAST. Second part of the season.

Sounds like a blast-just like Overhaulin' or American Hot Rod. So you're going for the authentic Concours off-the-showroom "stock" look? Is Year One helpful getting parts, or are you using Mopar Performance mainly, or hundreds of different sources? Not to be nosy, but what kind of budget are you anticipating? Can you keep it under $20k? $50k? The TV show guys seem like they drop $100-$200k without batting an eyelash. What are you going to do yourself, and what are you going to send out?

What kind of "tool" do you feel like? There are some that get handled a lot and there are some that just lay in drawers and never get used at all. There are also some that blow, remove bolts, and grasp nuts. Which one do you feel like Steve?
Just kidding!! Congrats Steve! You are on tv alot for just being a "tool".
