I am sure they did not get paid much the first couple of seasons but I am sure they get good money the more popular the show has gotten. I read somewhere that Richard Rawlings on Gas Monkey Garage was getting $25,000 a episode.

The hat is reflecting the Latino-Black atmosphere of today. Flat brim. If the brim is curved down you're on the older white side. They're getting money, they got better trailers then most racers I know, did you happen to see the name on the valve cover of Chiefs engine last episode? From what I heard... $80,000 grand for them. Just like the duck show, a lot of jack. I bet they all have agents now. That do attract the goils, and maybe with today's society the guys too.

One of the New Orleans Out Law racers told me it cost him over $15,000 to switch from Nitrous to turbo

The hats cover his chemical burned eyebrow. He explains this in the podcast.

The group that is the creator of the show makes most of the $. Want your t shirt, hat, decal. banner name, etc mentioned or shown on the episode pay the producers $. That's how they make their $. Everyone else, if they are smart, cashses in on the merchandising.

"stock block" meaning it's NOT billet. it's cast.... word games, i know.

Cool setup. I like Pontiacs. They are my favorite, behind mopars of course. They make great torque, and even the moderate build runs hard.
