Pretty funny how this all goes from "they don't show enough Mopars" to "he needs to show more of his daughter"!!!

Cause you guys are..... Guys   

[TUFCAT]

C'mon, Tuffy. You would've hit it before, too. You know it.    

No doubt.

[thedodgeboys]

LOL this last show was kind of ok all in all Mark left and they worked on some cars with out much BS. The scratch thing went on way to long.
Know if they would explain some of there tricks on how they align the body panels

Does anybody know on these high end frame machines cant they just program the factory touch points without using a real car first?

[bill440rt]

Yeah, and after 40-plus something years, who's to say that frame might be a little tweaked also??
IIRC the factory dimensions are in the FSM.

So I've now watched approximately 7 minutes of the show. As it turns out, that's nearly 6:56 more than it deserved. To reiterate, I rarely watch TV and pretty much HATE "reality" shows so I don't fit the demographics any way. That doesn't make it suck any less though.

I just watched this week's episode for the first time in 2 weeks. In fast forward of course. Along with even more stupid and made up drama, they installed 2 fuel lines and an e brake cable, and that's all there was. That & 2 more sponsors; the energy drink & repro line company. Speaking of which; wouldn't it have been easier to install all of the brake & fuel lines prior to the drive train & suspension? 

Because it's about Mopars, I want to like the show, but there is absolutely nothing there. Zero, zip, nada. It's really a shame because it had the potential to be a great show, but instead, it's just a complete disappointment and a waste of everybody's time.

Yeah this weeks episode was hands down the worst show in GYC's short 2 season history! Way way way overboard with the drama, fake or not, and man just a few minutes of installing some break and fuel lines, it was a bore! I hate to say it, i really do, but it's not looking like it's gonna get any better this season, maybe next season? Up untill this point i have been very optomistic about the show, thinking "it's gonna get better, it's gonna get better" but alas, it has not! Why is it asking to much to see/hear more about the cars histories, and i mean both the particular car they are working on and the history of that particular model, more on the actual resto process of classic Mopars, and less of the filler pointless stuff and drama?? I'm glad i play guitar, i had one of my guitars in hand all thru the show for something to do because the show just wasn't holding my attention (unlike Royal I know a few more than 6 chords LOL). It's also kinda of embarassing when a freind, chevy guy, texts you and says "hahaha this show sucks!", it's definatly not making us Mopar guy's look good! I hate to sound like i'm bashing the show but I dunno, yes i'll be tuning in next week to see what happens, ONLY becuase there are a few Mopars on the show, still hoping it's gets better. Please Mark, if you are reading this, give us Mopar guy's what we are looking for!  

[projectanimal]

You guys forgot the 8 minutes of adjusting the rear brake pads, and taking the wheels off/on 10 times!!!   

I will continue to watch, but I would like less of the "game" and get back to working in the cars and seeing them deliver a nice finished product while completing the story about bringing it back from the dead!   

Different show, but on the TV show Castle from this past Monday the Irish mob boss drove a sweet 68 black with red bumble bee stripe!!      Was this a members car??  They film in Cali even though they pretend they are in NY..

It seems as if they are struggling with the "Reality vs Informative" aspects of the show.  The producers are obviously pushing it towards a "Reality" show and with that you get your fake drama and BS.  Reality shows are a waste of time by and large and this one will be no different if it goes down that path.  Dare I say... even with the drama aspects of American Chopper they would still show tanks/fenders/handle bars/ etc etc being made.  Although repetitive, you at least got to see something worthwhile.

I have watched all of this season and I cant even remember seeing a welder in use.  I don't doubt one has been used it just wasn't "tv worthy" based on the producers opinion.  

I for one, would rather watch an hour of tv about how to correctly replace a trunk pan in a MOPAR then the fake drama.  Show every spot weld drilled out.  Show the techniques.  Show the common mistakes I would make.  Show how to fit the replacement.  Next week move to the floor pan and repeat.  Those episodes would get saved on the DVR.  Instead, the car magically shows up with a new trunk pan and I have endured another subway trip with a midway acceleration burst from 20 to 35 MPH that is supposed to make me tune in next week.

i agree, i would be cool to show that stuff more. lets remmeber they only work on this on weekends right, so if nothing gets done by them guys theres no show. but why not show body work goin on, plenty of fill time right there
that stuff goes on all the time at the body shop. i did like the front end put together, stuff like that. talking about the story of the father and son.
i will still watch, waiting for the history lessons on the cars and the actual work.
if they worked on the casr all week, we would see major work being done each episode, just my 2 cents

I beleive that Mark is listed as a producer in the credits which I guess means that's how he wants the show to be & how he wants his business to be portrayed. 

[JB400]

It could be that the Mopar enthusiast is not his target audience.  Considering the fact that I haven't seen the show, but only miniclips of it, I have only one hope for his show.  I hope that someone wanting to get into the hobby doesn't see the show (or similar one), changes their mind, and goes out and buy some import or other car instead.  I don't want to see restoration shops getting a bad rap just because of someone's tv portrayal of one.

If someone decides to buy an Impreza instead of a Mopar because he saw the show, he deserves it.  But that's just me.

I tried watching this show but you guys weren't kidding.  What a load of crap!

Doesn't change my opinion on any of the cars though.  I also do not feel I need to associate myself to this tv drivel just because I have a Charger.  But again, that's just me.

From the look of things you are correct.  It just doesn't make sense to me why the stars of the show (AKA THE CARS) are the ones getting the least amount of screen time.

[RJS]

I do like the show, but I guess I'm easily pleased. With that said yes he continues to show how amateur he really is, the lines should have been installed before the rear suspension, the customer that owns those incorrect wheels for the Daytona must love seeing them being impacted on and off the Cuda.
They assemble after paint like a GM and then don't even tape up the edges to protect from nicks and chips. He's forever missing stuff as they are assembling a car so they take it off a junk car strip it and spray paint it "just like the factory did"!!!!

I did say I kinda like the show right?

Fast and Loud teaches novices that watch more stuff than Mark ever could.
Oh and they have fun doing it.

[Nwcharger]

I still would load my tools and go work for mark if I had the chance. I wouldn't care about being on tv or any of that bs. I would just like to work on mopars for a living, not Honda or now the Korean copy Hyundai. Best part is he's here in Oregon so I wouldn't have to move far. 

[nvrbdn]

camping in a park?  no tent?  thats funny. one saturday to put brake lines on, and one week to finish everything else.

           you guys are right, its a car show about restorations of cars that are brought back from the dead with stories of those cars finding out how they died......................but never work on cars.

     and if im only tuning in to these shows to watch the restoration part, this show would be off the list.....well, im taking a different approach with this one and calling it a show about guys that like mopars, and actually work on them once in a while. and im enjoying it more. there is good humor, robbing peter to pay paul stuff, and some nice cars. and "CHIP" is getting his car worked on.

[rooks]

Did you see her on the pumpkin carving show in the first season she was a little chubby and had dark hair.

She must have went to a body shop herself  

She'd just given birth, have to cut her some slack.


Next weeks episode is the "Season finale".

[hemi68charger]

I liked how Mark and "Chip" made up.. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...  Plus, Mark wasn't too proud to ask him what he needed to do to get him back.. Such a humble lad.

[Mytur Binsdirti]

How about when "Chip" opens his hood up and complains that his paint is flaking off.

Those Guys are awesome!! I am going to quit doing this crap myself and farm it out to them...........
