      New Restoration Show on History Channel

      Motorheads is a new show coming on tonight on the History Channel, I have not seen it but will know before long if its any good seeing as it comes on in an hour and a half and then again 3 hours later.

      In the fast-paced world of auto restoration, three friends have combined their talents to create a business called Motorheads. They're known for taking the absolute worst broken down vehicles, and bringing them back to life by turning them into automotive masterpieces. The high-pressure work of restoring cars has the guys at Motorheads on edge 24/7. But their greatest challenge is remaining friends while trying to run their business.

      Sorry to say, I am disappointed in the program.. Alot of staged B.S. Plus the fact that it takes for what appears to be hours to get a 302 ford running? Stressing over a crappy carburator not knowing if that is the problem. What trouble shooting skills...ha ha

      And apparently they dont test fit their body parts before paint...How professional is that..? And a crappy two-tone paint scheme...Wow

      I could have had that truck running in 10min. They prefaced the build by stating how simple & basic the truck and then apparently took hours to fire it, what a joke.
      Not a fan of the paint scheme but to each his own.
      I hope this doesn't turn out to be another Orange County Choppers with more drama than building cool stuff. I'll see how the next few episodes go before I dump it!

      I thought I'd be the only one not to like it. How can you go through an entire build and not notice the bent frame?? Then, after all of the time, money and work, they don't replace the air filter??

      You mean the hillbilly I just saw in a cut off tee chasing the muscle bound boy around with a shovel was fake?! ;) "Lets go to the neighbor's they've got shotguns." Then they just stand there kicking dirt. :bsjerk:

      I finally paid attention to the text at the beginning of the Operation Repo show, it basically says it is a renactment..

      It is sad to say these so called reality shows are scripted.. It seems the producers would know how phony it all appears..

      Bad paint scheme. Owner realy looked disappointed when he first looked at it. firewall was still brown. frame bent painter that cant paint (I bet thats not scripted I delt with a few of them this past winter) And Oh wow another hot headed Meat Head.


      But Ill watch it like its a train wreck or more so like a comedy
      Nothing says "I built this" better than tool marks and dykem blue..

      That was my thought exactly. I tried watching that show a couple times and just couldn't do it, "reality" tv my arse.

      Watching paint dry would be more productive. Calculating your taxes would be more enjoyable.


      I'll go back to overhauling and all of the asshattery.



      Honestly, I don't know why I have cable any more.
