      I am lucky enough to know the guys from Gas monkey and spent last week with the boys from the shop....Its a good car (the falcon) he built it with QA1 shocks because that is what it was set up for from the original builder, YES we built ridetech coil-overs for it now, I know the show is a love/hate for most but I will tell you...they are real down to earth cars guys putting in 12 to 14 hour days in, almost every day, they film the show during the day, and once the cameras leave(at 5:00pm) they spend hours every-night (we never left earlier than 9 at night) doing the real builds without cameras and the crazy looky-loos out side the gates all day! as a matter of fact Aaron even came out to goodguys on his Saturday to just hang out and then went back to the shop and was there till 10pm again

      Thats pretty awesome! I would like to meet Richard and Aaron one day. Here at Edwards we see celebs all the time, but meeting down to earth guys makes it that much enjoyable.

      From the very start of the episode it looked like to me anyway that Aaron had a difference in him from normal in regards to this car. He seemed much more serious and more intent on making it nice. I enjoyed that part of it.

      The car is awesome...'nuff said. Only thing I didn't really care for was the seats. They didn't look too safe to me for a streetcar type of application with no head rests or supports. Hopefully he gets that taken care of soon (if not already). The shoulder belts sliding off the original owner's shoulders during the ride along made me shudder as well. Rest of the car is top notch and I would have loved to see it in person.

      I've really taken a liking to the show over the past few months, from what I've heard Reality TV producers push manufactured drama and there is a bit of that here as well, but looking past that you can tell they all really are car guys and are loving what they do. Staying at the shop late into the night on their own like Rod says drives that point home as well. Thanks for sharing...

      remember Aaron and crew build 3 cars a week for the show(alone) and then they have REAL customers because as Aaron said when the show comes to an end he still has a shop to run..I think Aaron doesn't fall in love with them because of the turn over

      they do pump the Drama.. Richard is loud and funny, so they use sound bites from random things to "douche" him up but he really has a big heart

      gas monkey falcon

      The one thing I didn't care for on the Falcon was the light bar. It looked out of place and a little ricer to me. Other than that I liked the car.

      That was a very nice car. They get a bad rap, but I truly believe the what Rod said is true of why they don't fall in love with the cars. Although they are car guys, Richard is in business to make money. Like the Falcon, I'm sure they both have come across cars they don't want to let go.

      That was Sold a long time ago back when they had the Old Shop and they had the Guy working at GM who had started Aaron's Shop with him. He left GM a couple of years ago - I always got the Impression he did not like the Cameras. I saw Brownie last night on the Lift and I was wondering the same thing.

      I didn't watch the whole Episode ( I was flipping between FastnLoud & Hockey) - The One thing that doesn't look right to me is the Front Bumper.

      That is one car they really did right IMO. It should be fast and I hope Aaron pounds it like a rental.

      The only part of the Falcon that looks strange to me is the front bumper. The lower corners just look out of place to my eye.

      I started building a 1963 Falcon 4 door with my step daughter but she lost interest. Disappointed it never was finished. Maybe someday I will build one.

      ...and the rear could have been sported up a bit too.

      Why they didnt call me to help fix that, I'm not sure ;)

      I live here, and have had two different people on separate occasions tell me that they tried to take cars there and were told that they do not take work from outside. All the cars they work on they sell and/or are strictly for the show. They do not do any work directly for customers. True?
