    I'm supposed to be going back out there for another vehicle pretty soon. So far, I've done 4 of his, and have 3 more to go I think. Yes, he has quite a few vehicles. I'll get some pictures when I go back out there.

    Sam(part time helper) was working with me. I only have 1 Flex, while I was cutting with the Flex, he was right behind me with the Menzerna on the DA. I prefer using the DA for finishing work, but the Flex would have dome just as good of a job. Comes down to personal preference.

TThis is the 3rd Subaru I've worked on within the past month. I'm starting to get them figured out

    Yeah, when I first saw the blue carpet, I was like....ummm no thanks. But by the time I finished the car, the blue really grew on me. I like how different it is. Original. I wouldn't mind having it
