    Andrew Totolos blends the old with the new when he uses a classic hot-rod technique to customize a Honda Civic show car. In a technique called "shaving", Andrew replaces the factory door handles with hidden electronics that will open the doors with the push of a button. The Civic handles are removed along with all of the DIY things that can be done to the car to save some money. Then it’s off to a body shop where the professionals use a metal gun to fill in the missing handle area and re-paint the doors to match.
