For those of you with cable/dish, check out Hot Rod TV this Saturday morning at 10:00 am EST. (http://www.hotrod.com/tv/). I don't have cable, so I am going to pester someone to let me come over and watch. My company was part of a really killer Mustang build for Hot Rod TV. Gateway Classic Mustangs and the Alliance of Auto Artisans built the car with the help of two high school kids. I dropped in for the build shoots and the unveiling in Chicago. I saw the rough cut and I get way too much face time. If was a lot of fun though and hopefully we will do more stuff like this in the future.

Here's some behind the scenes pics: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.241817122537570.79151.100001278515577&...

Well done man! Did you have cue cards?

No cue cards, just my quick wit. The director said I was a sound bite machine.

I ended up using my Google-Fu to find a bootleg stream of Speed Channel online to watch it.

Very nice, at least it wasn't Cops.

Well, it was the most eloquent use of Good Grief since Mr. Charles Brown.

Ideally the mentoring program that the two kids got while building the Mustang will keep them from being on Cops. The girl pretty much turned herself around at school while building the car and now has college plans.
