I've been watching the Brit show 'Wheeler Dealers' and would love to see some of it's format introduced (especially an American all muscle car version of the show).  Very minimal drama and the repair part is done top-notch.

USA cars they've done are a Ford Mustang, 68 Charger, Chevy 3100 pickup, 57 Chevy 210 and a Willys MB.

it's a much more informative and useful show than most other 'restoration reality' tv shows.

After watching this weeks episode I have come to the conclusion that GYC is a reality show no different than any of the others. It is primarily about the personalitys that make up the crew, how they interact, and how they mis behave. It has very little to do with the cars, very little. And that is a shame. It is very evident that they have great knowledge of how Mopars should be re built. That is what I, and I would think most of us on this board would love to watch them do. But instead we get to see them act more like the tow truck hillbillies.

I'm still holding out hope.  Mark has a wonderful daughter, but I don't want to see her wedding. :rotz:  I almost deleted the recording right there but I really want it to work so I punched the skip ahead button. It got better after. I am going to give this week a shot and go from there. My boys couldn't deal with last season and stopped watching. I am trying to bring the back but they have absolutely zero tolerance for the dramitics.

its recording right now.   :popcrn:

OK, I watched an episode last night & saw 10 minutes wasted in a pumpkin patch which I thought was a complete waste of time, but i understand the producers want dopey drama. In another segment Mark & the "Holes In His Earlobes" were clearly seen leaning over unprotected fenders installing a clip in the air grabber hood of the green '71 Charger. Maybe they do good work, but in my opinion, that is something you do not do on any customer's car, let alone a fresh restoration. Totally unprofessional.

Imagine how much work would get done on the cars without all the unnecessary drama crap going on.  :scratchchin:

I watched the last episode and it was MUCH better IMHO.  More car stuff, and I don't think they went overboard with the drama.  Yeah, they still snip at each other.  But as long as they're working on a car while they're doing it, I'm good.

Oh...and the fact that they were working on a '71 Charger R/T...my favorite car...didn't hurt!  :icon_smile_big:

Could be the gauge.  After I refaced mine the oil pressure went from 60 to 20.  Go figure.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

I'm sure that was Darens fault too!!!  LOL.  :smilielol: :smilielol: 

He was torn between hooking up gas or finishing gauges and skipped both to mess with the son in law!!   :slap:

Since I have this recorded I watched it a 2nd time and its cool to be able to see more details on the cars!  The ball busting is funny!  Not sure how Mark found that tiny spring clip....

i have to agree with the cabinets being put together with the 71 setting in the garage. that did seem odd. the show has improved though. marks evolving. :2thumbs:

really like the show and either i'm getting use to it or they are toning down the horseplay.   but last week, to punish the guys, he gave them "wiener shots".  what grade are they in?  i knew an old army guy that always said, "you don't mess with a man's woman, pay or chow", i would add a 4th, you don't mess with a man's wiener!!!
