No disrespect to Dave but all he does is install new and refurbished parts i.e. wiper motor, fuel tank, fuel lines, brakes, brake lines, cables, rear diff and springs and install a rebuilt powertrain. They out source headliner ,vinyl top, glass, seat upholstery and all dash components.  :Twocents:

Yeah, in my opinion if a "restorer" farms out all the metal work, all the body and paintwork, all the restoration of components, purchases all aftermarket stuff, farms out the engine, trans, rear end, brakes and front end, the electrical wok and everything else, he's simply a Mopar assembler.

I've disassembled  and reassembled my Charger and Challenger and frankly it's a lot of work but not all that hard.

Its the only Mopar show we have to watch.  Good eye candy and you get some helpful tidbits now and then.  Ya, Mark can be a bit much at times, but I'm thankful for the show.  Many thanks to the Producer and GYC for putting it on.  Gives me something to watch in the off season. :cheers:

I have noticed that, if I had the money, I may go that route. But at the same time, like many of us, if I wanted something fixed/restored/repaired I had to do it myself, or it wasn't going to happen.
I have picked up, and improved a great many skills that way.


I like the show. Its fun to watch, and its the only all MOPAR show.

Lots of people don't know it, but lots of Resto shops farm out or out source stuff. LEON.

The guy George, in the metal shop, seams to be doing good work, he also seams to be taking his job seriously.

The new season has been really good so far. I like the show. It almost lost me last season but they turned it around. I'm fairly new to Mopars so I do actually learn a lot of tidbits which is good.

The show is a great example of how any show can have critics and fans.
An all Mopar car build show and people still bitch about it!

GEEZ! I agree! Find an ALL Chevy or Ford show that's currently running after multiple seasons...oh wait, you can't! Yes, I agree, Mark's antics may only be silly for some, but it's ENTERTAINMENT people!  :2thumbs:

I like the show, though I don't watch it religiously.  When I do watch it, there are parts I'll skip through, like the animated segments, but I figure I enjoy over 75% of the show.  They have dialed way back on the conflict and some of Mark's more rude/demeaning behavior.  I don't mind that he acts like a goofball. 

I like watching gas monkey too, and feel the same way about it.  There's some pointless segments in that show as well that I skip through, too.

Overall, I enjoy GYC.  It's TV, you just can't take it too seriously. ;)

Love the show but I often have to wonder how much (including the antics) is ad-lib and how much is scripted.
Pardon me but my karma just ran over your dogma.

Not judging or saying I could do any better 'off the cuff', but I'll bet 80-90% of it is scripted...

I don't worry if I miss an episode or whatnot.   It'll be on a rerun sometime or another.   It's fine entertainment for an hour.

Too many people are critical of the show...  I kinda get it.   But it's this or another show featuring chevies or fords.   Take your pick.  :Twocents:

What GYC needs is competition.  If a show like Fantom Works went all Mopar, Buzzard Beak would be finished once and for all.

Why do you have to insult Mark every time you make a comment? I thought you were a man of GOD.
