show me your mods

[grinner]

I need help from some of you folks in the midwest. I'm creating a new TV show called Blood, Sweat and Gears and I'd like to come out and shoot some of your mods while they are being done. I know some of you have some very rare gems out there. I don't mind traveling a bit if it's a big mod on a great car. You can be doing the work at home or having a specialist at a custom shop do the installation. I won’t play a role in this at all. I just wanna roll tape on the installation of some cool mods on some cool cars with the owners there sharing other things they have done to it. I'm a one man band, no red tape. I'll just need to clear it with any shop owners involved. I don't offer compensation and can't guarantee it will make it on the air but I will give you a VHS or DVD of whatever I shoot and put together of you and your ride.
This show is about real people doing real mods on real cars and the more I shoot, the more I will have to chose from when putting it all together.
Contact me at grinner@grinnerhester.com if you have a ride you'd like to have captured on high definition.
Thanks everyone.

What's a "mod"? Do you mean moderators? I'm sure we could drum up some pics of them if you really need them? This doesn't have anything to do with the '06 Creeder does it? Because we aren't a NEW car site...we're a site dedicated to OLD iron...the REAL Chargers from 1966 thru 1974.

Troy, is this site turning into a new car website? Let me know. I really would hate to lose the site that I've been following the last few months.

he's just not trendy.
Any customizations your planning.
Under the hood, aesthetics, whatever.

Well, before the edit and the reference to the LX platforml. I don't think many can help. However. I'm sure there are plenty of people that wouldn't mind their old" gems" getting some airtime

Good luck on your show.

CAREER IN THE '60s: At eighteen Peggy was a successful NY model. Moving to L.A. in the mid-'60s, she made early TV appearances as a young teen in "The Virginian" and in episode twenty of the new "Bewitched" in '64. Then she was a regular on the short-lived "The John Forsythe Show" in '65, she also did "The Invaders" in '67. That year she signed a contract with Paramount Pictures for $250 a week, but Aaron Spelling managed to "borrow" her from Paramount for his new cop show. The Mod Squad was actually Peggy Lipton's second regular TV series, after debuting on The John Forsythe Show in 1965.

Peggy took a few years off from acting after the show was canceled, re-emerging in 1979 for the TV movie The Return of the Mod Squad. She had supporting roles in several movies in the 80s and in 1990 she returned to series television for the hit show Twin Peaks, playing Norma Jennings. She has worked steadily since, mostly in TV movies like 1994's Deadly Vows, and with small roles in feature films like 1997's The Postman. Last year she took on the role of Gloria Steinem in the miniseries The 70s, as well as roles in The , Skipped Parts & Jackpot. She was Brooke McQueen's mother on the WB show Popular.

Peggy was married to Quincy Jones from 1974 to 1989 and they have two daughters, Kidada, an actress/model and Rashida an actress.

                                                                       Note: I just Bought the latest Quincy Jones Complation at Starbucks and it's GREAT!

Peggy Lipton's impact on the '60s was considerable, considering she was so young and considering she overcame a stutter (according to the Web site "Famous People Who Stutter"). She is # 5 in TV Guide's "50 Sexiest Stars of All Time"....9/28/2002. TV Guide calls her the ultimate California surfer girl who single-handedly opened the door to acceptance for hip, sexy chicks in the TV Squad Room. "The Mod Squad" did have quite an impact on America. Debuting in '68 and running for five years, "The Mod Squad" was a hip, happenin' police show that was based on the actual experiences of the show's creator, Bud Ruskin, a former undercover cop. Before "The Mod Squad," all TV cop shows had focused on older, white males, such as "The FBI" and "Dragnet." Producer Aaron Spelling hyped the new show in May '68 with a stark black-and-white full-page ad in the New York Times, the headline read, "If these three grab you in a dark alley, don't fight. They're cops." As Peggy later noted: "It was the first of its kind and everything was up to date, the clothes were in style, the words, the expressions, the issues." She told USA Today in 2000, the show "was pretty innovative for its time. It was one of the few places you could see young people reflected during that period." Topics included student unrest, anti-war statements, and other contemporary issues. Ironically the ABC research department wanted to call the show "The Young Detectives," but Spelling held out for "The Mod Squad" because it had a much cooler sound. Peggy's crime-fighting partners on the show were Michael Cole, playing curly-haired pretty boy Pete Cochran, and Clarence Williams III, playing the ultra-cool shades-wearing Linc Hayes. Julie Barnes was the daughter of a San Francisco hooker and had run away from home, to be arrested for vagrancy. All three were on probation and were assigned to a special undercover squad. None of them carried guns. Captain Greer, played by Tige Andrews, was the only one who knew their real identities. By season three "The Mod Squad" was #11 in the ratings, and by season four there were comics, board games, puzzles, and other memorabilia tied to the show. "The Mod Squad" received several Emmy nominations, including Best Dramatic Series. So significant was the show, American teens were copying the hip clothes and the up-to-the-moment slang the characters used, such as "uptight" and "groovy." (Edit)
