Graveyard Fraudz- New Season

[NHCharger]

Anyone catch the the new episode of GYC last week??
Mark and his lead painter admitted that they had some sub-par employees do some shitty work. They highlighted a blue R/R. Said they had to tear the car completely apart and start over again.
I was dozing off and on thru the show (as usual). But I thought I heard Mark say that he was putting his daughter in charge of the shop and quality control    This is the same daughter that just last year he was showing her how to install parking lights and side maker lights.

I feel asleep before the end of the show so I don't know if at the end of the show Mark yelled "April Fools" or not. Anyone else see this and verify that I wasn't dreaming? If true if I had a car in line there for any work I'd be yanking it ASAP.

That statement right there, shows that no one is watching nor instilling any quality control, besides the show is just smoke and mirrors anyway, just check out some of the finished work when it shows up at SEMA or other events, the lack of skill and quality, as well as amateur/rookie mistakes abound on their finish work...

I'm not ready to bury the guy BUT when he had the hippie idiot from Magnum Farce suspension there to aid in installing his shitty front end parts, Mark's standing in my opinion fell several notches. Unless you are in a band, there is no sensible reason for a man in his 50s to look like that guy.

[ACUDANUT]

 That show is all about "Buzzard Beak". (Mark) ..Worthless stupid talk. If they aired one car at a time, from start to finish I would watch it more.

[Homerr]

Wow, I was tired of Mark and his show YEARS ago.  I'm surprised GYC, let alone the show, are still around.

I use to like Bodies by Boyed. Yes I know it wasn't a Mopar show. They showed you how to do things yourself. Then it turned into a soap opera. I also liked watching Stacey David. Showed you how to do stuff also. I guess people like soap operas and not things you can learn from.

Is Dane's son still working with the show ?

[John_Kunkel]

I was surprised that Mark hinted the business couldn't survive without the show.

Interesting, yet others claim he's paying for the show out of his pocket.. so which is it! LOL

Hmm, I must have been snoozing when he said that.
There was another show on MT called Fantom Works which I liked. The owner chose to cancel the show stating it was too intrusive and cost him time and money. claims he is almost a million dollars in debt when he ended the show. That doesn't ring right to me. At anytime they had 50 to 90 cars in the shop.

[ACUDANUT]

Fantom Works was a great show. 1-2 cars at a time (beginning to end) and no B.S. clowning around and no worm-man dancing around and solving anything.

[Mopar Nut]

Dan from Fantom Works is a drama queen.

You're not kidding. Every car that comes in has "hidden" surprises, but to him, they are catastrophes, which makes him angry, and then it's time for a commercial break. Such false drama.

[b5blue]

I agree, he pretends to be upset at making more money.

I've worked some side jobs with a guy that refers to every job as a "Nightmare".
Really? EVERY job is a nightmare? Not one of them was an easy or a fun job ?

Scripted drama pays the bills. There will never be a series of successful car restoration documentaries.

[Mopar Nut]

I don't know, Wheeler Dealers takes their work serious, no drama on that show.

[jakeallcars]

Iron Resurrection, didn't contain much comedy or drama. I don't know if it will be back. though.

Joe Martin is a awesome metal fabricator.

[JB400]

I'm ready for some new content.  How about some comparison tests between makes both old and new?  What new parts actually make a difference in performance, or are fodder.  Are the new 392's better than the old 440?  There's plenty to discuss

The best car show on television is full custom garage. The guy us an amazing metal fabricator! He inspired me to repair the roof on my 70 Charger R/T.

One of the best car shows on tv in my opinion. GYC was fairly decent the last 2 years only. Now this season, they went back to the bullshit bickering, but now with the show producer and crap. I am going to unfollow the show once I see how the "Christine" car turns out. And I LOVED Fantomworks.

If you wanna watch a show that's just about the cars, fabrication and repair with ZERO drama...this it it!

And what's funny is all these guys talking smack usually fit in one or both categories:

1) they have never done any restoration or fabrication work in their life.

2) They aren't good enough at a sales pitch to get a TV show. 

Seriously, after reading Richard Rawlings biography, I came to realy respect the man and appreciate how many of these shows get on the air. They man has been desolate broke five times over in his life. By his own admission, because he was a lecherous shithead. Through all that, and his love of cars and being a damn good salesman, he sold a network on Gas Monkey. My guess is that Worman is't much different. He sold the network on just what you said, [art drama, part comedy, mixed with is obvious love for cars and a pretty solid knowledge of all things Mopar. Love him or hate him, he has a show and we don't
