Bling Performance, a longstanding automotive detailing business in Penticton is being featured on Discovery Channel鈥檚 newest docu-series Bush Wreck Rescue.
Bling Performance owner Rod Tamminga is thrilled they got to be part of the show.
鈥淚t鈥檚 awesome. To see us on TV was very cool and helping out my buddy Bill Desrosier with a wrap of a van,鈥� said Tamminga. The two went to school together.
Bill Desrosier of Wreckless Restorations and Car Craft Automotive 鈥� based out of 麻豆精选 鈥� is one of the stars of Bush Wreck Rescue.
The TV series follows wreck hunters, auto restorers, hot rod and custom car builders like Desrosier as they drag out run-down cars, trucks and vans from farmers鈥� fields and other locations while viewers watch them turn the vehicle wrecks into 鈥渧aluable pieces of automotive art,鈥� says the show.
For Bling鈥檚 part of the show, a 鈥榟ippie鈥� 1969 Chevy V10 van needs to be ready for a client in two weeks.
鈥淭he deadline for the van is super tight,鈥� said Desrosier in episode 3 called 鈥楽howtime.鈥� There is no time to paint it, so Desrosier calls up Tamminga to see if they can wrap the van in military green vinyl.
