This is the first I've heard of her and I was impressed. Not necessarily because she's a girl but more because of her work ethic, enthusiasm, quick wit, knowledge/experience with cars, obvious intelligence, willingness to learn and ability to adapt so quickly in a "hostile" environment. She really has her S*** together it seems. I think it's rare to see that in someone that young (or anyone for that matter). And Daaayyyyum....that was a sweet burnout!
Al seemed to be impressed with her as well. I think he's a pretty accurate gauge of the quality of his coworkers. Everyone he "rolled his eyes at" in the past had a short employment there for whatever reason.
Good for her!
Duane is the shop foreman.
I agree, plus she's only 21. The asking for Scott to sponsor her may not have been the best idea, but then again she's a kid. The passion is there.

Im also only 21 and worked in a Hot Rod Shop at one time. The funny thing to me is that I feel that I have just as much knowledge and determination as she does, but because I am a guy, I wasnt "priased" for it, nor was I givin a partner with more experience to shadow and work with. I was thrown out there, and when I accomplished something, there was no surprise in anyones face. I see a double standard here.
Smart, witty, drives a real hot rod and is quite the little hottie... what more could you ask for??
Humility. And I sure hope she has it.
Personally I am turned off by the whole sponsorship thing and trying to sell herself out there. If you love hot rods then find a job or start a business that involves them and have fun with it. The minute you start making moves to gain noteriety for yourself and become a celebrity, then I think you've lost sight of what this hobby is all about.
Someone at Woodward told me that she had hired an agent for herself.
That's just stupid.

I'm betting she only lasts 2 more eposides until Duh-Wayne runs her off.
Nope, think like a TV producer who counts the numbers so they get advertisers - she'll be there a while, unless a bigger deal comes along for her - and guess what - they will do another Charlie episode and drama queen the entire show(s) around it.
Honestly, how the hell would Scott have sponsored her? I know she asked for it & what not. I am not 100% sure on how it all went down, but what does Scott have to offer her? Not trying to be a smart-ass or what not, other than saying "I am sponsored by Lateral-G.net".
I mean if she wanted money to put a "Lateral-g.net" sticker on her car & website, thats complete BS. Because, quite frankly, I'll put one on my car for free.
I love how our standards drop when a chick can weld, or wrench on a car. I don't think she's that hot. But....it always makes them a little hotter if they can hold their own in the garage.

I could see the girl form the 4x4 show now trying to rock crawl a 32 coupe she knows not the first thing about hot rods sure she can fab but not a hot rodder i think this girl here will do awesome and good for her to better herself through a great builder like boyd!
Not to mention if you watched the show you heard the best catch phrase i have ever heard on a TV show, when one of the shop guys told her he had a fast mustang, her reply was "isnt that an oxy moron" lol! a fast mustang
Good stuff
