        After getting screwed by my restoration shop, I decided to bring my car home and do it myself. I heard mark from Graveyard Carz likes 70 Chargers, so I sent him a picture for the hell of it........he picked the car up four days later and says it will be on season 3 and 4.  I got lucky, let's see how this turns out! :shruggy:

Thats amazing I hope it works out for you, just checked out the web site and it looks like they do nice work not like those other car reality shows that splash some paint and put shiny stuff on in the 3 days allotted! Best part too is they are all Mopar :2thumbs: Keep us posted :popcrn:

Can you give us some particulars on your 70?  I love 70 Charger R/T's.  Hell, who am I kidding.... I'm a whore for all 68-70 Chargers :icon_smile_big:

Well, there's another nice car that they'll only show glimpses of in between the endless buffoonery and nonsense that is Graveyard Carz.  ::)

You still gonna take it back by that girl's house who you bought it from when it's done? (At least I think this is that car I Read about?)..Daughter of the original owner? Had a BUNCH of Mopars, but this one was the only Hemi?...

They do appear to do nice work, however, the show does not chronicle it and I think that most here would agree.

Ok, Thought I read somewhere that some dude bought a car with Hemi engine that looked EXACTLY like yours from the daughter of the original owner.

             Drive train out, engine going to machine shop monday.

So how does this work when a car gets restored on a TV show? Do you still have to pay all costs or does the network pick up some or all of it? Does the show pay and then it's considered taxable income like a game show?

            I have a contract with Mark with a not to exceed price. Not sure if he gets any breaks from sponsors or the network.

I am not able to get graveyard cars so I will be following along here.
