is it just me or did anyone else think that skinny guy that worked there looked extra goofy... You could always see his upper front teeth and he would talk as if only had 2 functional muscles in his jaw... I think he was one of the first to be swiped up by Chip Foose.

He was their top machinist - ran the CNC operation - very skilled. He was partially paralyzed in the face from a bad wreck he was in testing one of the cars.

Appalachian blood? Lol. About 15 years ago, Mike (the machinist in question) was racing (not testing) an open top Duece coupe at the Salt Flats. He lost control and the car tumbled around. He's (Mike) had quite a number of reconstructive surgeries trying to realign his facial muscles since then.
