[quote]Okay, I'll put you on the spot. What do you think the total will be for your wife's car that Worman is working on?
Its going to be different for me since i supplied so much of the parts. buti can tell you that the costs are considerably less then most other shops

One question I have on GYC, what is the deal on the dozens of cars sitting outside? Are those all customers cars awaiting their turn getting restored at the shop? And if I was sending them my project, would I feel good about it sitting outside in the elements deteriorating for several years before he finds time for it? some are customer cars, some are Marks, and some are parts cars about a year or so ago they put up a HUGE outside tent/garage that holds dozens of cars, and, he just got a very large building to also store cars inside and any deterioration is really only affecting the amount of work GYC has to do, the price quotes are already locked in with customers, so there isnt any additional charge to them regardless if it suffers from any deterioration.

Maybe Mark is like some of us, myself included, and he can't help himself and buys up some Mopars with big dreams and that's why he has so many in his yard. I have to admit if I had a lot of space I'd have so many lined up.

Ive watched maybe an hours worth of the show ,,,,and that was spaced out over several shows over several years. So one could say Ive never really 'tuned in ' so to speak. at least not intentionally
I simply couldnt get past the clown act to feel it was anything close to serious The first several seasons were focused on drama and they’re difficult to watch. To Worman’s credit, he did listen to viewers on FB, Twitter, etc. and he added more technical information and less BS.
China is the enemy.

Can't remember the last time I watched it, then yesterday I saw it was on. Starting on a '68 GTX. Changed the channel after 15 minutes. Too much BS.

....., maybe cover some of the national shows and just talk to some owners.......
Worrman doesn't allow his employees to attend any car show, A cast member told me that. Beside, Mark is afraid to fly, he won't travel to any major shows.

Tony, I won't ask what you're paying to have your car done but what is the turn around time?? A few years Mark does allow his employees to make appearances at cars shows/events. Since they would be appearing as a member of GYC the arrangements have to be made through GYC, not a promoter circumventing GYC and contacting the employee directly.

Tony, I won't ask what you're paying to have your car done but what is the turn around time?? Bump. If you're interested why not call Mark? No two jobs are apples to apples, so Tony's turn around time is likely to be different than yours.

No two jobs are apples to apples, so Tony's turn around time is likely to be different than yours. Real turn around time is 7-9 years, yeah you read that right ,7-9 YEARS . My friends car has been there 6 1/2 years and that A 12 car featured recently was there since season 2 which was 9 years ago.

My friends car has been there 6 1/2 years and that A 12 car featured recently was there since season 2 which was 9 years ago. So you already had the answer you wanted. Maybe if you didn't have a hidden agenda and asked the question more completely, like "how long was your car there total?", you would have gotten a different answer. I took your question as how long did the restoration take, not how long has it been there. Dave's A12 Bee has been done for well over a year maybe 2. But i agree it was still too long. Do you also know how much the restorations cost? ALOT less then just about any other shop would have charged.
