maybe it is just the show, but I have never seen him work on anything he didn't screw up.  Dewayne seems to know his stuff but is a jerkwod!

He may have been a legendary HotRod builder at some point, much of that should have been attributed to his talented former employees.  TV has exposed him as a little self-absorbed tyrant who is an unreasonable employer. He is a prick, his foreman Dwayne is a bigger prick and I wouldn't let them build a chicken coop for me.

Don't sugar coat it, tell us how you really feel...I totall agree, though.  Just comes off like a douchebag and it looks like they take some shortcuts on the cars that don't seem to jibe with the prices they probably get.
