What's the turn around time at your shop for a full resto?

Or maybe you shouldn't have asked TONY in the first place

I actually have come to enjoy the show quite a bit...In the beginning it was a little rougher but that was because I believe Mark or a non professional was producing it. The first few seasons had a lot of drama between a few main cast members but since they departed the show, it has become much more enjoyable to watch. I konw sometimes Mark likes to joke around and use cheesy quotes but I think it just adds to the show most of the time. Kinda like the show, "the office"...if you didn't like that show, you probably wont like this one. I konw some folks may not enjoy marks antics but at least you konw he doesn't take himself to serious. I like that he is committed to providing quality restorations of mopars whether it is oe style or modified. I konw that sometimes he makes some mistakes on what he says but Tony in the captions will correct him smile At the end of the day, there is no other shows going this indepth on any Chrylser products. There are tons of Ford and Chevy cars but not anywhere near that amount of mopar. I understand that not everyone likes the show but what is the alternative ? No mopar show ? Or a resttoration show just like every other show which features all makes ? I know in the more recent seasons , Mark has toned down the antics and tried to tailor the episodes to what viewers have requested. I will keep watching the show for as long as it is on.

I like the show and the cast/staff they have now. I don't mind some of the antics (movie quotes, etc) but the cartoons are not my favorite. I like to learn more about the cars and the hobby and I do learn some from watching the show. I do wish they would show more technical body/paint work such as when they replace panels how they ensure a good fit and how they fix paint issues such as debris in paint, or how they assemble a car and paint bolt heads after the fact.

I like when Tony is on the show as well. Seems like a healthy and fun rivalry.

Stop playing the cartoons. Stop showing the filming crew or behind the scenes guys. NOBODY cares what the pencil neck geek producer thinks. This is a car program.

I would like to see more in depth technical scenes on engine/suspension builds...and better trivia questions, than about what was shown on a past episode, as in: "do you remember what engine was in this1970 Charger we showed you eight years ago?" That needs to go! And what happened to the FE5 Ralleye Red '71 Demon they showed one episode? I know Mark doesn't care for A bodies as much as B and E body cars, but at least show more of the Demon you started to work on? shruggy

I think they apply the "looks good" @ 25 foot rule technique when assembling a finished car, dealing with paint issues, etc.....here the SEMA Superbird up close....rest of the car was pretty much the same.....

watched the show tonight with tony d and his wife, not sure why they put a black headliner in a plum crazy white interior white vinyl top white stripe challenger, mine is the same except with a factory white headliner and i chose to not put the vinyl top back on it, maybe it was there personal preference, also you guys do realize that part of his (mark) antics are aimed at some of the very people on various innerweb sites that make fun of him or nit pick his work, but those who do should not let that go to their already over inflated heads.

Probably relies on the same info/facts that he used when he applied the R/T decal in the middle of this Challenger's hood.......

How so? You said their turn around time was egregious, so can you do better? How can any of us complain about things we don't have the ability to do? We can either rebuild these cars completely ourselves and the quality is dependent on our own abilities, or source out work. If you choose to source out work, you forfeit your ability to complain.

I complained about body work taking forever as do most people...well if we don't like it we can buy sanding blocks and sealers and have at it.

i never tuned them in. Every car related show I've watched is nothing but BS with possibly the exception of Jay Leno's garage. twocents
There was one years ago ( 30 or so) on PBS called Last Chance Garage. It was a one man show with an old f-rt like I am now. He would take on problems that others couldn't fix, showed you where they screwed up and fix the problem. Great show wink beer

I don't watch it since I can't stand all the stupid stuff. If they just focused on the cars and cut out all of the stupid stuff then it might be interesting but evidently the guy who produces the show likes stupid little gags and jokes. He must think that stuff is entertaining and maybe it is to some people but I think it turns off more people than not.
