At the GYC series, they never act like professionals.  They, again should act like professional and do one car per show...like over hauling. If it takes 2 episodes to do this, so be it.  They have to have more than 3 employees there.

Because Overhauling is so believable and should be the example of how a car should be restored? That is like saying professional wrestling should be more like roller derby or something like that.  These shows should be taken for what they are, entertainment.   In the case of Graveyard Carz, its not a bad thing to be able to see Chargers being restored on TV, BS or not.

Problem is that the show ,when not bs , it is nothing but a commercial. Mark just needs to step away from the camera and let us see cars being restored. Oh yeah he can't because everything he has is because of the people sponsoring the show .

That is it right there......You have to find a proper format and have a balance to appeal to the whole captive audience.  The first couple episodes this season seemed to be moving in the right direction.  Less antics, more cars and some sponsors mentioned.  Since then it has just went downhill from that point.

It is a shame because it would not take much to make the show right!

I was testing a new model technique for creating damaged panels. I needed a very wrecked car to model, so i made the Graveyard's 'Cuda, Mrs Oregon.





I pressed aluminium sheet onto the panel of an existing model, then bent it up and back filled it with body filler to keep it's shape. The only kit part used was the chassis.



i used this technique on my Gone In 60 Seconds Eleanor

That'd be well and good, but if it takes 2 years to do a car (white Superbird that was driven alllllll the way home), then it's kind of hard to do a car an episode.

The quality of those cars isn't always the best, they often bring the car back in for fixing, and they also have a crew of about 50 with a mostly unlimited budget. GYC only works as fast as they get paid I'm sure.

I finally watched this last episode. I see they are finally starting work on the General Lee jump car.

I think the cast of gravelard cars should watch a few episodes of bitchin rides. So much more fun to watch. I don't care if it's all mopars or not. Bitchin rides shows the real comroderie of a shop.

Word Up!   I have said that a hundred times.......Dave Kindig is the man and his crew is awesome....They are a prime model for GYC to follow..

Sure Kevin can be annoying but at least he fits the role well and they all seem to get along :2thumbs:

Furthermore, the quality from DK looks the same in person as it does on TV......

Does anyone know what books Mark mentions that he uses for detailing our cars?  It's a book that covers details like correct bolts and paint marks. :popcrn: 

                                                       Thanks in advance :cheers:

I might be wrong now that I see you were asking for paint markings. Not sure he sells those

Yes. The Dave Weiss book is like 4 inches thick. Very detailed . The Galen books are what he memorized for the codes and part numbers.
