I guess I don't know all the drama behind it but for the first time watching!  SWEET!   Someone finally  doing MOPARS!   

[r4daytona]

I watched most of it & it met my expectations.




Just an observation; After drilling a hole in a painted firewall wouldn't it be prudent to run some touch up paint on the perimeter of the hole? 

For your information, they do touch up things like that.  How do I know Because when we drilled the hood pin locations in my hood,  Daren said to me .. " put some touch up paint on the bare edges"  I was actually thinking that, but he said it.  I don't really think something like that is camera worthy.  Someone would probably complain that they used the wrong type of brush anyway.

Your saying that after your car had paint on it they/you drilled the holes for hood pins?

When Mark came to Moparts he was welcomed and receptive to advice and correct knowledge. But you always have to say something in a finger pointing way that makes me want to throw up. GYC was there before you and will be there after you, your not part of the company or production. It's getting old in ALL of your posts.

I'm grown up enough to say .. point taken.  But, Hopefully though you can see where MY frustration comes from.  I've become friends with Mark and his guys and have been much more involved than people know and than I ever expected to be.  It's been a great experience and those guys have done a great job -- WAY more than expected. So as you find my posts annoying, don't you think I find it annoying that people nit pick every aspect of what they do? There's TONS of stuff thats done, that could be shown that isn't, or tons of things(information) that could be talked about that isn't.  Here's a prediction -- lets see if I'm right.  Consensus seems that most people liked last weeks show.  A few people here that always complain couldn't say one decent thing.  But watch -- next week they'll be the first ones to bitch if they get one ounce of something to complain about.  I see your point and will be more conscience in future posts, hopefully you can see mine.

See now that is cool of you to understand what I was saying
When typing, words can sound harsh at times.

I have commented on plenty of incorrect things in the past threads that they do, but after Mark came on Moparts and responded to things I saw him in a much better light. I do look forward to the show myself but do find myself still saying (this past Monday) I can't believe this or that is done wrong.
I realize though that this Monday was probably filmed a year ago so I won't beat them up.
In fact it was their best show to date.

I see you are passionate about GYC's and your Daytona and that's GREAT!  In future threads say what you want without the " I know guy's don't like Mark" or "I know people will say this or that". Let all that slide because IMHO why walk around with all that baggage on your brain?

Not sure if it was posted before, but without scrolling through 39 pages of this thread does anyone have a link to that Moparts thread? 
Sounds like some good reading.

I saw about two minutes where he was doing some fine filler on a door's edge before I had to go.  Then I heard him say 'chip'.  He didn't actually fill in a chip did he?

The material was so thick on that door where the chip was that he had to. 

That's what I was afraid of.

Is your car home.

Yes, as reported, it just arrived yesterday.  Unloaded all the parts that came back, pulled it in the garage, then ran to a friends cottage that had a broken waterline running for go knows how long.   Started to make a mental list of the little things I need to finish.  Yes, I told Mark I'd enjoy finishing some of the last little things so he left them for me. Thats why I finally bought a propane heater for my garage.  The car is dirty from the haul and the move so when I clean it up I will post some pictures.  I'm kind of looking forward to doing some more work on it.  My weeks this summer at the shop were spent with disassembly, cleaning and reassembly of suspension and a bunch of other stuff.  It will be nice to work on some of the "clean" stuff.  Still trying to find and electronic voltage regulator that looks like a correct original.

Cant Wait for tonight!

good show

[TUFCAT]

Much better product! 

[timmycharger]

Much better product! 

Agree!! 


surprised there was no bashing today, people must be on vacation.

[TUFCAT]

No need to bash. It's getting better.   Actually, I prefer to use the term  "constructive criticism" over the word "bash"...but its all good.

I finally watched the new episode last night & I was pleasantly surprised to see that there was actual content in this show. In fact, there was more car content in this one episode that there was in every single other show combined.

However, he still hasn't learned anything about the cosmoline look on the lower control arms as seen on the AAR Cuda. He "dipped" the ball joint end of the control arm & left the rest looking like bare metal. 

[69 OUR/TEA]

I thought the AAR came out pretty good.Maybe it was up to the owner,but they put radials on it instead of the correct 2 size polyglass.And,again maybe the owner wanted the undercoating look to it.
But, he did do the hood incorrectly and IMO takes away from how the car is really supposed to look.Supposed to be organasol(texture to it),he basically did a flattened black,or flattened  black/clear on it.
Not bashing,just sayin,doing an AAR,this big part to me is real important.
I don't care for vinyl tops on AAR's,but have to say that one looks real good with it !!!!!

Much better product! 

X2!   

love the part where he walked through the parking lot and gave a quick info sheet on each car!  good stuff.

[Grm2159]

 :especially love the 70 challenger 440 6 pack 4 speed car. Plum crazy. Sweet. Then again I'm a bit partial as it is my car. All the guys there are great and the work really is fantastic. My opinion.

very cool!!   

[ACUDANUT]

Too bad it was not a 71 Challenger. 

[bill440rt]

I'll be next in line to say it was the best episode yet. 
Better balance of antics vs content. A little unnerving still as to how he talks to his employees, but either it's hamming up for the cameras or just how Mark is. Bottom line is it was more enjoyable to watch. I thought the little trivia questions were a good touch, too.
