This is the email I just sent the show
WOW UNBELIEVABLE I just watched the first few episodes of your new show called Kit and I am just blown away, an employee of mine recorded it for me to see being I work Saturday mornings. I was just flat out appalled, I cant even put into words how I feel about these first few episodes, frankly it pissed me off more than I could convey. I have never seen such a piss poor representation of how things are done in the so called Kit car world. You should be ashamed of your self's for airing this and making people think that is how its done out there and letting people believe this is how they should build a car. The safety issues were to many to list, these clowns had no regard for there own health let along the others in and out of the shop and the person that my own this car some day. Think about the image you are trying to put forth, take a good look at the episodes you have aired sit down and watch them with some real professionals and may even someone from the DMV and OSHA there were little or no regards for safety.
The build was a out right hack job, I was just blown away that some one would even want someone in TV land or a potential customer to see how they butchered this job. This is not how things are done in most shops and if any one on my shop did anything like what I saw on your show they would be walked to the front door and fired. You really need to be real care full how you represent the rest of us out there doing things right. Not only should the show air a public retraction for that horrible representation the shop should be investigated for safety concerns.
Remember your putting your self's in a position to educate the people that watch your show so do it right, don't let people think they can build that car for 24k and not mention the cost of labor that is just wrong, tell them the real facts, don't mislead the watcher, don't let them think its ok to snort fiberglass dust, do fiberglass grinding with out a respirator, lay up resin and mat with out a respirator, spray primer outside and blow all those chemicals in to the air for the neighbors to breath, Weld with out a gas nozzle and getting porosity in the welds, and so on.
You have put yourselves in a position to help the kit car community don't air any more of this carp and hurt it any more than you have. The industry has gotten a bad name from hack shops like the one you were so willing to put in the spot light now do the right thing and do your home work and show how to do it right with the upmost safety for the customer and the shops employees.
