its local to me. its scripted tv. nothing is real, not many sales are real, cars are not built by mike and avery. some of the cars are not even the cars they start with. Like most tv shows, its fake. the producer is standing on the side telling the actors what to say. mike has lots of mopars and is buying up everything around here. the work is average at best
good for him. armchair idiots eat up the show and the only reason he got into it was to sell the cars. people are beating down his door to buy projects for WAY more than they are worth just because he is a tv "star"

i blasted one car for them last year. they dont do the full resto thing. just lipstick on pigs mostly.
