Thanks for pointing that out. This video just came up on my feed...almost forgot about that fool. Couldn't happen to a better person. Really, it couldn't...Duane is a clown.
There were a bunch of good guys at Boyd's. But they either died (RIP Roy), got the sack (Bluebear, Mike and god knows how many others) or got so pissed off with Boyd and moreso Duane's bullshit that they up and left (Brad, Charley and countless others)
Sometimes there are two different ways to do something. One way might make something easier but something else harder. The other flips the easy and the hard task. Two different people might have a different idea of which task is best being done easier or harder, and that’s fine. The problem comes when the person not doing the work wants it done his way, even though the person who is doing the work wants it done the other way. At that point a GOOD foreman just says, “ok, I would have done it the other way around, but you’re the one doing the work, so do it the way you are comfortable with, just so long as you can guarantee safety and quality.” Doing things like that consistently is when enables a supervisor to earn the respect of his subordinates instead of putting everyone on edge every day. It will also mean that when you DO disagree and have to insist on things being done your way, your subordinates will be more willing to going along with you. Someone forgot to tell Duane that decades ago
When I worked in hot rod/ restoration shops, we didn't act like this. You gotta be professional cause you never know when the customer is going to walk in. That guy is no foreman . Just a bully..I've seen these types before. Just walk around looking important and belittling the shop crew and producing nothing positive or any real work at all. But men like thomas were always great to work with.
I’m a classical type “ A” personality, own my own business, hire seasonal help. I can feel myself being like Duane sometimes but this show made even me cringe at times. I know a lot of it was for dramatic effect but Boyd and Duane together seemed like the perfect storm to drive everyone away
All Duane had to say was "Are you sure you can still tack a nut on to that tab?" Thomas says "Yes". End of conversation. Have faith in one of your best workers.
I could never understand why Boyd had a person like Duane around. He’s was a jerk! Everyone watching this show back then and now has nothing but negative thinks to say about him which are all true. He has a arrogant sarcastic personality that is counterproductive to the shop or any shop for that matter. Regardless of one’s knowledge, good respectful behavior towards employees is key for a successful business or at least should be!
Duane could decend into bullying mode. People like him just need to be stood up to right from the off - they know where they stand then. Maybe easier said than done, but I know from experience, it works. Don't like the word ‘sociopath’ either. That's hurled around too much these days with not enough people knowing what it really means....
Duane should have gotten his ass whooped so many times. Boyd hired a bunch of push overs for a reason. They all never saw the show and seen how bad they were treated?
“I think when Duane wakes up he’s confused, so his whole day is confused”
😂
Duane was arrested for DUI 4 years ago. He was so drunk , he fell out of his car while it was going 25 mph. This guy is a real class act.

It used to be on UA-cam but can't find it now
Yup goes to show to many duanes in this world non productive lazy all mouth no go haha
I always hoped someone would club Duane in the head with a big wrench.
He kinda clubbed himself while driving drunk and partially falling out of his car on the move, laughed so hard at the pictures
Duane have the same head as i have. Only difference is, i'm pissing out of it.....
well said
Henny Verheij LMAO...
ha ha
Are you in the freak show at the fair?
And its cute to maybe ?
Wish somome would put this back on UA-cam I like watching it.
with any luck i will do that bet !
Duane wouldn't last 5 minutes in our shop
There were maybe about 3 really good guys at Coddington's. Thomas is one of them.
There were a bunch of good guys at Boyd's. But they either died (RIP Roy), got the sack (Bluebear, Mike and god knows how many others) or got so pissed off with Boyd and moreso Duane's bullshit that they up and left (Brad, Charley and countless others)
Duane was sick of walking around and having chairs hit him in the chest. Poor lil fella....
I do not think duane even knows how to weld or run a shop or do body work
I still watch American Hotrod and would like to know what all these guys ( Thomas,Dan,Charlie,Mike,Scott and even Tony Piro) are up to these days.

Talk talk talk complain complain right duane
I never fabricated anything, but if I owned a shop I would trust my fabricators, welders and body man that's why I hired them!
Duane must not have gotten any approval from his father. People how have bad relationships with their fathers are always bullies....like Duane.

this show should of been about cars instead of why there should be abortion's starting with duane...
Duane was an asswhole and so was Boyd.
Duane is an Abortion
Lmao. Golden.
Shops I've worked in, Duane would of been in some real danger.
dwayne shouldve stayed in boyds office being the ball chinion to boyd
Everybody hated Dwain but hell I see his point on a lot of stuff. It’s good to go over and talk about a build
Duane's just a 4 foot troll. Which is good because he won't have to bend down so far to slobber on Boyd's crank!!
Talk about ruff as guts with the ply boards . Dwayne to expert of everything .
Looked like duane just wanted to talk and push his weight around.
According to linkedin, Tony Pirro graduated from the University of Wyoming and is currently a mechanical design tech, so he is doing okay!
Duane and Boyd are the main reason this shop has such a high turnover rate. It’s always someone else’s fault..
Duane was the CANCER in the shop
Man, these young men are all in their late fourties and fifties now.
duh-wayne, cry cry cry!!!!!!
I worked with a Duane once. His name? Dwayne. Imagine that.
And yet I hear that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is a wonderful dude.
Aww come on guys, it’s Dwayne’s time of month, oh yeh it’s always his time of month
Does anybody else know if that shop is still even going or did Duane drive it into the ground.
It closed in 2008.
Duane in a bad mood. Wow news flash....this guy was born mad
All Duane had to say was "Are you sure you can still tack a nut on to that tab?" Thomas says "Yes". End of conversation. Have faith in one of your best workers.
I wonder what dwayne's doing now since Boyd is gone. Like where can you go and see a help wanted sign that says 'assholes apply'.....
Duane is a dose
Express your thoughts to Duane directly on Facebook. Hes the hands down King of GOOFS...................facebook.com/DuaneMayerAmericanHotrodsInc
THANK YOU
duane is in a bad mood cos he sold all his bitcoins for 50usd `each
Duane needs a wake up call. Stop messing with the guys in the shop.
Duane was pissed at life and took it out on everyone but Boyd and his gold digger wife!
Let's hope Duane gets sent to jail for his drunk driving behavior.
Sancho must've been at Duanes house every day he was at the shop. he was always in a bad mood.
He didn’t even have a wife lol
After the show went off the air Dwayne was working at a hot rod place and he was too slow and he had to leave
And daway goes Twouble down da Duane.
i think Duane overdid it when it came to the show. I cant see a manager talking to the employees like that and still have his teeth in his mouth.
Lol-yep!
Now that Boyd is gone. r.i.p. Boyd, Duane is the Main Man.
Gary Dunn
Fuck Boyd's RIP
Dickuane is the most whining little bitch I've EVER seen on any show, the only main thing about him is bully, no good pos!!!
Ugh. SN95 Mustang seats. I owned one of those and the seats were the worst.
I could never understand why Boyd had a person like Duane around. He’s was a jerk! Everyone watching this show back then and now has nothing but negative thinks to say about him which are all true.

Critiques someone’s work but won’t ever help them if should of never been manager

No wonder everybody left this sinking ship ..
What a flog this Duane is ....
Duane doesn't understand there more than 1 way to skin a deer.
thomas is funny
This dude Duane was the reason i stopped watching this show...smh
Duane, your job is to swallow... now leave me alone to my work. please....
Dwanes whole life is dazed and confused
Duane should have gotten his ass whooped so many times. Boyd hired a bunch of push overs for a reason. They all never saw the show and seen how bad they were treated?
I wonder if they acted like this before the show.. My best guess is no
I would punch Dwayne in the face
I would say make it better. An I leave him for this day.
Duane’s value? Double the a-hole factor over Boyd
This was a great show, but you had one or two guys that were a**holes and making great workers leave
...Thomas was a whiner all the time but he is ok
Duane is always in a bad mood and I never saw him do anything but walk around and be a little bully
Duain the brain drainned pain.
He hates Duane
Get tony out of that damn shop!!!
Boyd and Paul senior drove there best staff to quit and then run there own business into the ground
Duane shut it didn't you.learn your lesson when you got in the car.accident. quite taking it out on. The employees
Duane the manlet Mayer. Wishes he was a real man but instead he just pretends x sad little man
Sväje
Plz Americans, Dont tell a Swedish how to work. You will lose every time.
True u those guys have awesome workmanship
@@luisvilla799 I need a job, have one for me? And I will put my words to action.
@@darthcrowley5561 lol unfortunately no
This stupid show was all, HURRY HURRY....why? It's a fuckin car.
thomas is a wanker.
