I tried it after seeing this thread and they make it hard with the bs. Like the mopars, need no banter fellas.

Found one called CarFix. That one I can take seriously so far.


I want my fair share

EXACTLY!!^^^^^^^^

I watch when I can, and DVR the rest.

It comes down to this; where else can I see Mopars of all body styles being worked on, and most of which I will never be able to afford/own.
Having a T/A, I liked when they did about a 6-7 minute overview of the 70' T/A.

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.......

Yup.

If Worman didn’t constantly crow about being this amazing god of mopar knowledge and ability, I wouldn’t comment on his goofy show. I like Tony D, but his argument holds no water. Every premier shop has at least one build they hang their hat on strictly to show off their abilities. Worman’s claim to accuracy in restoration work begs that he put his time and money where his mouth is and produce an OE Gold certified car rather than boasting while cranking out budget restos. Constantly saying you know it all and never once demonstrating it is beyond annoying.


I’m listening.

Friday night, I turned on GYC while throwing some photos up on Flickr. Two episodes, one mostly on the '66 Hemi Charger, the other mostly on the '69 RT/SE.
On one of them, Worman did the entire trivia answer segment in his grade-Y Stallone impression, so roughly four minutes of the show taken up with "Urruh ruh ruh ruh, bluh ruh urruh urruh uuuhh." Not actual mumbled words, just "ruh ruh ruh" noises. rolleyes
(Grade-Z is just saying, "Hi, I'm Sylvester Stallone" in your normal speaking voice.)

I'm often unsure if Doug is really as dim witted as he seems or if it is an act. He really comes across as a competent tech but a complete dork.

I do not dislike Mark or anyone else on the show but would like to see less of them and the Dugie history. They should go i out and get a few cokes or beers after work and talk about old times between themselves.
The whole time thet are tellimg stores they could show some cars in various stages that would better fodder. You can see them in the background while they tell you about nonsense that no one cares about Even just a quick look see of them like when guys do junkyard walks would be better

Need to get rid of all the soap opera drama and get back to building the cars. One of the coolest episodes was when they showed a factory sun roof car with it working.

Yes I do remember what engine was in the 70 Charger, it was a Hemi, Mark's engine build failed and the engine was pulled out and had to be completely rebuilt since.

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.

iagree

Any idea what failed? I'm not looking to bash Warman but I'm going to be assembling my first Hemi in a year or two and if there are mistakes I can avoid........

There was a thread on For B Bodies Only that the owner of the 70 Hemi Charger R/T pulling the engine and sending it out to be rebuilt again. I don't remember the exact details, but I don't think that the engine had more than 500 miles on it.

No different assembling than any other B/RB engine other than it's unique head/rocker design and crank cap bolting, the only areas I can think of that cause some running issues are to assure proper intake sealing and proper re-torqueing of the intake after some time on the engine, and removing/deleting the spark plug compression washer before installation to avoid tube distortion/oil leaks/burning, there's little quirks here and there on assembly along with newer design/retrofit assy products to improve the HEMI on the market depending on your build.... and like any engine, esp today, proper cam break in is paramount... it's amazing how some have no clue to breaking in a cam, I actually watched one owner "idle" his newly built/installed $30K HEMI for "break in" for 30 minutes while he fiddled with timing, carb adjustments, carrot snapping/etc...would not heed any advice/warnings as he was one of those know it all experts, the cam was wiped and the results were fatal to the engine with no more than 3 hrs total run time.... total tear down/rebuild because of cam trash throughout the engine
