its funny because on the Misfit garage spinoff, they also start talking about deadlines, but they dont even have customers, hahahaha

If its a breakeven point as far as labor cost, that is one thing, but dont call it a deadline

I kinda like 'Fantom Works'. They do nice work with a minimum of the fake 'plots' and 'deadlines'. I like the fact that they show that a restoration can take several months or years even and the fact that they include the charge to the customer in the show. He did a '41 Buick for a customer last week and the bill was $116,000.
I like the fact that people with that ol' rusted out hulk in the backyard can get an idea of what it costs to make a car like that worth $20,000.

Craftsman shifter? I wonder if it's the rare Phillips model?
