Stacey interviews his long time buddy Malcolm Pritchett from West KY Collision in Hopkinsville Ky. Malcolm uses his 30 years of experience in the collision & repair game to share his thoughts on the state of industry, staying on top of new technology & techniques, misconceptions the public tends to have about body men and how today's used car market is allowing people to look into project vehicles that would've been impossible just 5 - 10 years ago.
Stacey also shares his thoughts on automotive auction reality TV shows and how they can give people an inflated idea of their projects worth.
Finally, Stacey answers a listener question about ladder traction bars vs bolt ons for a '65 Chevy II. Which ties into a tale about how quick thinking and even quicker repairs to project that was done on the cheap, saved a shoot with Mario Andretti from certain disaster.
