Anybody else catch this show on discovery ( channel 79 ) on time warner cable ? Pretty cool show about restoring old classic cars.

Watching it now, working on a 55 Ford pickup.
All I can say is they will give any body a tv show.

I watch it. They kind of do half ass resto jobs. Like the F-100. Put a junk yard motor in it. Should have torn it down at least. Unless I missed that part.

Yea, seemed like a simple show with some questionable ideas, like the 66 chevelle ss convertible. Who would buy junk yard emblems for a freshly painted car when new ones are available anywhere, I would'nt buy anything from them, wonder if the chevelle ss was a real 138 car, probably not.

Not very impressed with them. And they really don't make any money from the auctions it seems like they always proffit about 125 from the car. I'm sure discovery pays them also but that's a little embarassing to do all that work for a hundered bucks.hell I made more than them Saturday moning painting a tractor and it only took me three hours.

Car warriors does a better job in 72 hours then those guys do. I admit I still watch the show for something to do but I would call it how not to do a restoration.

Yeah it was cheap entertainment on a saturday evening when its raining, I wouldnt mind walking thru a junkyard like that full of mustangs though. Minus the rattlesnakes of course.
