I like Graveyard Cars.... I think Mark is funny as ****, and his final products make me want a Mopar, and trust me.... I am not a big Mopar fan....

The only other show I really enjoy is Chip Foose..... I love his eye for making alterations to muscle cars..... and he seems like a good guy...

He is. I've ran into him a few times and talked with him. He's really not a guy who seems totally comfortable with the spotlight, but in person he's the type of guy to shake your hand, and talk about what you're building. I talked to him at Del Mar 2 years ago about the Imposter, and some of the details of how he did some of the window trim, definitely a knowledgeable guy.

The other guy who's awesome is Dave Kindig. I've run into him at SEMA for the last 2 years and he always talks to you like you're one of his buddies. Definitely a genuine guy.

Rawlings on the other hand... at one point I would have been interested to meet him, but now I won't give him the time of day. Everything I've heard about him from people that have met him say he's just pure arrogant. Funny coming from a guy with no real talent, other than maybe investing in other businesses... but when GMG goes the way of OCC, who knows how he'll end up.

Does anybody like ANY of the car related reality shows CURRENTLY on TV????

Does Roadkill, Fennigans Garage and Mighty Car Mods count?

[Finnan]

im with this guy^^^^^^^^Leave it to a Texan to lay it out proper;).. Also throwing my lot in with iron resurrection. But I just want to remind everyone: most of these shows mentioned are 99% scripted. They WANT to invoke a feeling or reaction, and therefor hook us. That's the whole point, And another thing that sets shows like Roadkill apart. Love that one.

I had only watched a few Fantom works then i saw the early Tbird with the GTO swap....What a screw up that was. Putting the gto suspension on a hacked up 60yo stock frame was insane! Never watched it again.

NEVER watch worman he does know the cars but he gets under my skin instantly.........

He doesn't know that much. That GTO Ford was an atrocity and piss poor and anyone who paid for this absolute crap is an idiot. You couldn't find a mustang, there is a billion of them you know?

That car was junk... Seriously, a stock GTO suspension? Even West Coast customs "tuned" that junk up a bit when they transplanted.

You would have to be an idiot to take your car there and pay those kind of prices. Kindig does good work I must admit. Gas monkey stuff is junk also(or meh).

the only shows to watch are:
Roadkill and Roadkill Garage https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOhl...CEA3BC&index=1
Head To Head(sometimes)
Wheeler dealers(not bad)
Kindig(but it is painful with the fake drama and bs and ego's and that damn stupid facial hair)....
Musclecar and Engine power(depending on what engines they are doing) and those kinds.

Everything else is completely fake drama and ahole ego's to create fake drama(OH NOES I PUT THE DISTRUBUTOR ON BACKWARDS! IT WONT START).
Total bs and pure lies and setups and fairly crappy builds. Oh I just found a Mexican wrestling mask in the car! OMG!

Wow you pansies seriously think Dan from FW is a p rick to his employees? You should have worked for some of the guys Ive worked for in Commercial HVAC. Dan is an effing saint!

[vintageracer]

"I" find the most interesting car show on TV today to be "Full Custom Garage" with Fabricator Ian Roussell on MAV TV.

No drama just fabricating and building cars & trucks with custom METALWORK!

[nekkidhillbilly]

watch it all take it with a grain of salt but I think wheeler dealers is the best one on there. no drama bs of the wall fake comedian bs for tv. I don't hate phantom works but some of the stuff is over done. plus who pays 20k for a carb, intake, pitman arm and exhaust on a that 58 truck.

[xsboost90]

Full Custom garage! - that dude is awesome- not sure of his finishing abilities the cars look cool but the paint could be way better with some candy or colors other than burgundy.

Fantom Works- dont care much for Dan but he's ok- lots of un-necessary drama but the cars are good

Kindig- awesome guy, funny stuff and very very awesome cars.

Graveyard cars- the cars on here are beyond awesome but i cant take Mark for long. Getting better with the new seasons

Iron resto- pretty cool stuff but the prices seem alittle high- but hey....

[focused313]

I watch almost all of them. Kindig seems to do really good work and his lead engineer knows his stuff.

I used to think some of their prices were high....until I started going to local hotrod shops.

I don't know if this is true, but do shops charge you labor for doing something wrong? Specifically....let's say a shop has your engine installed (crate or shop build), they go to fire it and it won't start. They spend 2 hours finding out that they put the wrong wire somewhere (completely a tech's fault). Do they charge you for those two hours? If so, that sucks.

If you put my parts on backwards, install something wrong, etc... that's your fault. Don't charge me another billable hour because you messed up. On the flip side, if I do something wrong at work, I still get paid for the hour I essentially wasted.

[nekkidhillbilly]

I wouldn't pay for it but that's me. I also wouldn't pay 20k for something a that any mechanic could do and do it for like 3k tops including parts. ie the 58 apache fantomworks did. they did a carb intake a pitman arm an exhaust and a few things on the interior. all bolt on stuff minus the exhaust. they billed the old man 20k.

[mytmouz]

The 1970 Chevelle Fantom Works did takes the cake though for me in pricing. They kept talking about how great the body was. Changed the color from Silver to Blue, and swapped in a 4L80e trans. Total was $20,000 in parts, plus another $49,000 in labor...

[nekkidhillbilly]

50k for a paint job and a trans. nuts.

[XLexusTech]

Recent show, they took 72k form a guy to 1/2 rebuild and paint a 70 corvette worth about 30 if they had done a frame off restoration (which they didn't do) :-(

Not impressed..

[mytmouz]

50k for a paint job and a trans. nuts.

It is actually 69 grand...

[Richard454]

My favorite-when they "had to get it done" and were cutting a driveshaft w/ a sawzall- Really???

[shortrack]

All Girls Garage is the best!!!

Rachel DeBarros... Mmmmmhhmmmmm!

All Girls Garage is the best!!!

It is easy on the eye, but I liked it better when Jessie Combs was on it.
