Rose BB11: This, yeah, the seat everybody was, my door and my seat were fighting I used that. I made inch spacers at the front and three quarter inch at the back. So it like. It kicks you back a little bit. It's much more comfortable.
Rose BB11: Yeah. Seriously, that glass has been traveling with that van for 58 years and I fucking broke it. I'm so pissed.
Rose BB11: Got an oil change done. That was great. Got that off the list. But yeah, I'm gonna, I wanna make my rocker, I've got some sheet metal, but I'm patterning out the tops for the Model T, the top sections of the body.
Emily BB11: Yeah. That looks cool.
Rose BB11: So then they called back and Haggled and they were like, what do you need? He's like, I need a front door. I drive this thing every day. And they were like, fine, what's a front door?

Rose BB11: That's why the whole thing about you can have whatever color you want as long as it's black. Because that's what they could do quickly. They could build the car, uh, in days, but it took like three weeks to paint it. They could build the car basically in a day.
Emily BB11: My specific question was just where did Pinstriping come from? Like you said, it was very broad.
Rose BB11: thing. And if you guys don't know what that is, what that story is, there's a really cool VHS video on YouTube of Ed Roth interviewing Dutch.
