Moparman, the criticsm/suggestion you make aren't taken as bashing, those are taken as well though out ideas and you are looking at the big picture and I do relay these to Mark. And don't get me wrong, every criticsm/suggestion doesn't have to be sunshine and rainbows but the show CANNOT be non-stop cars. There has to be some of the other "fluff" to appeal to a larger demographic than just car guys.  So as I said before on this thread, if I have to take 1 minute of a banner or 4 minutes in a pumpkin patch to see a show about mopars .. I will!  In fact I told Mark that I thought the stuff about the paintballs was a bit to long ... and he agreed.  As he put it though after he's seen hundreds to a thousand different clips of various things as they are editing, it's hard to keep it straight and sorted. Thats because after he sees a 15 sec shot here, five min. shot there and a 30 sec clip here it gets a little hard to wrap your head around it and form it into how much time it takes of an episode.  And NO ONE here, including myself can say he doesn't know what he's talking about or it's not that hard... because none of us have done what he is doing.  He is listening and has told me about imporvements he wants to do for season III.  So as others have said, lets give the show a little credit and ALL of us help it develop. OR, keep bashing it over stupid stuff and let it get replaced by a Chevy show.   I would like to ask, if anybody cares to help, go to the Velocity Facebook and simply write something nice about the show. Instead of putting the show down, lets build it up and help develop the show.  Heck, maybe if Velocity sees enough good stuff, they will actually lease/buy(not sure what they do) the show before he starts filming so he can have the cash like other shows and hire more guys to get the cars done quicker!!

Hi R4Daytona. I'm not trying to be a tool, but PLEASE! PLEASE! compose short paragraphs.

Its hard to understand your long single paragraph posts.

...So break it down!  Thanks.

[r4daytona]

You're right, I do have a problem with being long winded. Just trying to explain things. Point taken.

[C_stripes]

I really didn't remember people here being so ... Moparts'ish. Starting to remember why I left. R4, I understand what your saying

[nvrbdn]

well, lets try to turn this thread around. lets just watch the show and put down one thing that we actually learn from the show. and im not talking about finger touch on a paintball gun trigger. but there is a bit of information to absorb from each show.

               what did you see that was helpful for your restoration?

[Mopar Nut]

Found out the brand of paint to use is what I learned.

[r4daytona]

difference between a ramcharger and air grabber ... thought they were all just called air grabbers.

[C_stripes]

Ramcharger hood is Dodge, Air grabber hood is Plymouth

Six Pack is Dodge, 6 BBL is Plymouth

Magnum is Dodge, Super Cammando is Plymouth, and TNT is Chrysler

Hey guys,  Mark here.  Sorry I didn't get back sooner, you just can't imagine how busy it is.  We are starting to film Season III.  Just wanted to say thanks for the support and for the suggestions/constructive criticsm.  I want you to know that your suggestions do not fall on deaf ears. We are always looking to improve the show and try to make it appeal to a wide range audience while keeping it strong about the Mopars!.  I think most would say Season II has improved over Season I.  Just know that I am my worst critic and I watch and re-watch every episode. I already have some great things we are trying to work out for Season III.

I'm going to try and cover more on the history of the cars along with more details on the restorations while still incorporating some of the aspects of running a shop and being a human being.  That's why I'll even film some of my mistakes!  Most of them are Darens and Josh's though  I'll try to get back here as soon as I can and get a few pics for you but I always seem to have to have trouble sizing them.

By the way, those paintballs really did hurt!! Going to be a while before that happens again!

Anyway, that's for the suggestions and support and help us grow into a great show about the greatest cars!

GREAT show tonight!!  Lots of details and almost all car stuff!!! 
We'll be rebuilding our rear axle soon so it was nice seeing them put one back together! 
Definitely learned a lot as well as a few laughs.  Their new hoist worked awesome!! 



Keep up the great job Mark ( and rain man crew). LOL

[moparstuart]

I have to agree 100%, last nights episode was excellent!!   Keep on heading in that direction and the show is gonna be a winner! All the detail stuff and the Cuda coming together was great, but the best part, and i laughed like crazy, when Josh said "this fly won't leave me alone" and with out missing a beat Daren replies "have you tried wipping?"   Good one!

[nvrbdn]

This episode was so much better. I really enjoyed watching the Cuda go back together. The ball busting kept to a minimum, wrenching and tech skills having priority made it much better for me. That is the kind of thing I really enjoy I just hope the rest of the viewers agree and keep watching.

[ACUDANUT]

I ain't paying for the velocity channel. It's 25.00 more per month.
It seems Mark at GYC has locked up youtube with his 55 second video's.
