I'm confident next season will be even better. 

Would you be willing to put money on it? 

BTW, the car looks beautiful.

ive been on both sides of the fence with this show so far, but im still there. they still show some good mopar shots. and as we all know, chop cut rebuild shows alot of the hands on stuff. last season was watched and enjoyed. this season had a nova in it. i even stated id watch. a 55 that was a complete, keep nothing that was original. new body, new fenders, new everything. i actually made it through the third episode and then just erased them when they were recorded. no matter how much hands on you see, if you arent interested in the show and the cars, you dont watch. so i will hang in there with mark and see where this goes. good luck with the new season mark.

I wouldn't bet money on it, but I'd bet you dinner ..... as long as you bring a good looking single woman with you!    Just for the fun of it, yes, $20 I'd bet you.  Thanks for the compliment on the car by the way.  It's still kind of weird though thats it's mine, hasn't quite sunk in yet.

Lets face it, all these reality shows have fabricated drama and over the top characters. That's what keeps many people watching. Overhauling, Orange County Choppers, American Hot Rods (Boyd Coddington) all had staged episodes and story lines for the most part........ I think Mark just needs to continue to work on the balance between that and what matters to guys like us - the cars!

I admit, I wasn't a real fan of the first seasons episodes but it is starting to grow on me a little. I think generally his work on the cars is pretty good but I cringe when I see him do things like remove a door from a freshly painted car without taping the edges, or stealing parts from one car to put on another.

totally agree  , except when its darens car i hope he steals all the parts off it

Okay, I finally got a chance to check this out.  I HATE the fake stuff.  Yes - other shows have it but it plays out really forced and weird here.  Theoretically the show's target viewing audience is the Mopar community and other car people - so it shouldn't need all that goofy shit to sustain itself anyway. 

My advice would be:  Don't let the suits have their way.  Be like Mopar - break from the banal and put substance first.  Focus on the cars, who owned them, their history, relevance, how the projects came to be, why certain decisions relating to the restoration were made.  Showcase talent rather than half-hearted and contrived attempts to rip on one another.

GYC has not been here since December...Think he cares. NOPE

[hatersaurusrex]

February actually

Nope I highly doubt it unless your a customer or a sponsor, giving him something...

I would guess Mark may have been back here a time or two but that is it. He is running a small business. Anyone who has run a business can tell you he has time for work and family, in that order most times.

On the show he's on the www all the time, why not try to drum up some business here too, or maybe help some people with questions &/or problems, if he's such an expert, like he's always saying that he is... we are supposed to be his demographic... aren't we ??...  

[projectanimal]

I sent Mark a PM last month with a few questions about my 70 and he wrote back within a few days!   
He's a busy guy and I'm sure he looks at this site, but spends most time working on show, work, family, Facebook, and building his own site...
It appears he is spread very thin but managing.....

[Paul G]

I dont think we are his demographic at all. We know Mopar here, very hard to fool us, and if he makes a mistake he gets called out on it. I think he is after the Honey Boo Boo crowd, or hillbillies, hillbillies are the hot ticket right now.

If he has time to read, he has time to post.

Funny how many hate the drama in these Reallity shows, and it show be more about the building of cars, Blah,Blah,Blah..Yet, here, 'Drama' threads get 25 Pages or more, while a simple fun thread only sees maybe 5 replies and half of those are sarcastic bullsh*t.


Weird.

   on a sad side note Josh's apartment got broken into yesterday , robbed and they lost a ton of stuff

Some of us don't like the DRAMA of either.   

I would love to watch how parts get restored. Of all the car shows today, the only ones that really show "HOW TO" are in the POWER BLOCK. Of them I think they show more on bodywork and panel/patch making and welding. I don't understand why it is this way. Most of the HOME IMPROVEMENT shows are pretty much hands on. New Yankee Workshop has always shown everything you would learn in a wood shop classroom and more. NO DRAMA....

I feel most of these REALITY/HOW TO shows are more about making people look like morons. OCC probably being the leader of WHY BOTHER TV.

What drives me crazy the most is when they do one little thing on a car and then (TIME FOR THE "I WENT AHEAD AND", INTERVIEW).  You know, John set a part on the top of the bench and went to get a tattoo, so I went right ahead and made the decision to go ahead and more that part from the top of the car to the bench and had that done while JOHN was off getting a TATTOO!!!  Yeah, that is exactly how a shop runs!!!!!  If it were my car in that shop and I were being charged 3 arms and 8 to 10 legs, I would want a camera on it 24/7 to prove what I am paying for...  I owned a repair shop. 2 as a matter of fact. I can tell you I never ran out in the middle of a work day to get a tattoo or a hair cut or just go for a ride on my Harley because I was having a bad day... They make us look like a bunch of morons.....

I think it's fair to say that most here don't like the fake drama.

[skip68]

The truth is very little of so called reality shows is real....   Some shows are very clear that they are real with normal people doing normal reactions with normal drama like Survivor and some of the cooking shows.  You still get a few that play for the camera but most are trying to get that million dollars or be the winner. 

Now, Honey boo boo.....that's right up there with Springer, the kardashians Jersey shore and on and on and on........................Just trash TV but some find it fun to watch...   NOT ME!   It was funny but I saw Honey boo boo and her mom on a late night talk show.  Honey boo boo"s mom was talking pretty clear and did NOT need captions at the bottom for us to understand her.   I'm thinking WTF?       
The only thing I find real about "reality TV" is the production and camera's are real.   

[Steve P.]

I always watch these shows in hopes of learning something. Seeing a new way to do something and to watch something great come from a pile of rust. The last thing I want to watch is friends treating each other like crap for stupid directors. We all bust each others chops, but some of the crap with OCC's constant door slamming and that kind of crap.. Who needs it??
