Hi Guys,
This is just a test as I'm having trouble posting here. If it works I'll be back on later to update everyone on the Show and the carz! ~Mark
:cheers: :2thumbs: Sweet!
I really want to watch the show, but like many other "occupation" shows, the fake yuks & fake drama are just too much for me. Please make it more like "Chasing Classic Cars" and less like "Swamp people". :Twocents:
I think I should be on the show. Just ask the guys on this site how much of an idiot I am. :icon_smile_wink: I've been driving these guys crazy for years now and they haven't canceled me yet. Here's a few things we need to talk about first. I will need to be paid in cash due to a small legal issue. Will I need to have a drivers Lic? Will I have to be drug tested? I will need my own hair & makeup people. There's more but we'll talk later... :callme:
But Skip you would have to engage in drama.

watched all your shows. as a tv person, that is a lot to say, since after being in the tv industry for 20 years, it is hard for me to watch much of it and forget about details and just watch(the cars helped with that). I can appreciate your knowledge and talent, but you wouldnt like me very much, we havent done much stock on my charger.
glad your here on the site

i know last time they charged the date several time before it actually aired so we will have to wait and see ?
Glad to hear it will be back on soon and in the dead of winter up here. So I will have no reason to miss it(not apt to be out playing around in the garage this time of year) :2thumbs:.

Great to hear its coming back on sooner than expected! :cheers:

I would be surprised if he comes back.

He has been back several times. I expect he will drop in after the first episode of season 2 airs for a bit. Apparently there are a few on the site that talk with him frequently and provide updates to their work.
I just bought one of these to go on the front of my rat rod

I'm friends with Mark on Facebook, and I believe he is still looking for it. know he was posting pics of it a few months ago talking about it. I hope he did.
i agree! no drama! not another "OCC" enough of that "type" of show, "JUST THE FACTS MAME"!
Don't stand a chance with the "No drama" thing today. Drama sells. Look at all these reality shows. Believe it or not, the TV people are interested in making your ol ladies, neighbor who knows nothing about musclecars, etc. watch the show too. No TV show is geared towards actual "Car guys".

You sir are correct. There has to be drama in order for it to even make a chance of airing. There will likely never be a how to car show minus the drama, which is what I would really want to see. I don't have Velocity anyway so moot point...
I Don't know, It seems that shows like Chasing Classic Cars and Wheeler Dealers seem to do quite well (still around, quite a few seasons) and they don't seem to have all that drama. :Twocents:

Watched first episode... cool cars, too much drama.
You must have seen last seasons stuff.
Hopefully they'll put more seasons on YouTube as I don't have cable and not willing to pay $$ for drama show.
It is a good show. I saw a few episodes last year. Mainly because it is all Mopar. Something I know a wee little bit about.
I just checked their website I've never watched this show. Is it all strictly Mopars? and I see they are gonna have a marathon to catch up on the past seasons. Did the V code Cuda ever get finished? Lastly, is this a good show to watch?
In my opinion, it's a very good show.
in the beginning i felt too much time was spent on the characters and not enough on the cars. they built some beautiful mopars. word is that now that the characters have all been introduced, they will spend more on the cars. plus doing a daytona this year. im saying a must watch. plus they really try to get every detail right on their restorations.
After seeing this thread I searched out and watched a few episodes from season 1. I will say i agree with others in that there does seem to be too much drama. However, I understand based on the current success of so many reality shows - and for that matter the success of OCC - the chances of the show appealing to a broad audience beyond just "car enthusiasts" would be an import factor to it being picked up by a cable network. The need for the show to have characters and story lines beyond the cars obviously drives the direction and content of the shows. I do hope going forward they more evenly balance the technical and detailed footage of the actual restoration. Even OCC showed Junior tin bashing a tank once in awhile!.... although it did seem to be less and less as the series matured.
Let's just hope the drama is a big enough draw for the larger audience and they don't resort to restoring a Camero or Corrvette to get the "numbers" up!
Hello guys, I think most, but not all of you know this, but I am having my Daytona restored by Mark. I found out it, and my beautiful face (LOL) is going to be part of the first episode. I'll agree with most, I was a bit disappointed that there wasn't as much about cars in the first season but as I was mentioned in a previous post in the areo cars, Marks original intent was that the show was about characters that happened to restore Mopars. I believe, and Mark has told me that you will see more about cars this season and the next. I can say this since I was at the shop and hung out with those guys... they are a bit crazy/goofy and insulting ... even at dinner. But just like we all have our friends that we make fun of and bust each others balls, they have respect for each other. Heck, Mark and I rip on each other when we're on the phone but we respect each other. I give him alot of credit because when he filmed the first season 2 years ago he had no help from any network. No financial and I believe no technical help. He's figuring this out and listiening to all of your advice. And yes, he is trying to appeal to more than just the "car guys". Lets face it, thats just smart business. I'm looking forward to this season and curious to what i actually look like on TV. Mark says i look like Uncle Fester with a gotee! lol I'm most looking forward to having my car and driving my dream.

I disagree. Just about everyone that watches car shows hate the created drama. These types of shows don't need it. The funny thing is that TV bigwigs wouldn't use this show until they created some drama,from what I hear. That's the only part I dislike about the show. It goes to show that they don't really know what the audience really wants....

You are right, these types of shows don't need it, but that's how we the car guys feel and according to the big wigs not how the 99% feel. I really can't take any of the drama, don't care what show it is and that whole fake reality crap is too much for me to take but yeah sadly that's the whole point of these shows, the car stuff seems to be on the backburner.
I used to watch American restoration as you could see the guys actually restoring this stuff but it seems to me that that got faded out more and more to make room for drama. Fake drama at that. WTF???

I would tell Mark that his nose looks like a twocan sam parrot.
I watched the first season on youtube, but never saw the Cuda that got a acid dip (finished). The show is 10 percent car and 90 percent B.S. Drama. I have yet to see any real work being done.
believe me, mark gets it right back from me, but all in fun. His work speaks for itself. That purple roadrunner and 71 charger were awesome.
I never saw before pic's of the 71 Charger and the 70 Road chicken. :brickwall:

I love the show, if it wasn't for the drama it would not be a TV show.
You can not fill a TV show with 100% car stuff, no one would watch it, just my opinion :icon_smile_big:
You are so correct! In the big picture, the car demoraphic is very small. Mark has been listening to the comments and trying to please the car guys and the non-car demographic. I think you'll see more car this season and with your guys continued input and some positive comments on the Velocity Facebook page (thats a hint to go there and do that if you could) you'll probably enjoy season III even more.
I watched a couple of shows...didnt show much car stuff at all..got a little bored, just a bunch of guys talking, looks like a nice RR they painted a stripe on tho!
Tonight at 9 season 3 begins!! We'll see how it's changed, I like this show. :2thumbs:

Oops..... I meant season 2 starts tonight! I guess I'm just hoping there will be a 3,4.... :2thumbs:
They have a great shot of the Daytona arriving for a NY client! Going to be a hell of a build!
Mark - LOVE your new ride!!! Great choice for an upgrade from the Magnum!!!
And nice drift when you surprised the guys!! :cheers: :coolgleamA:
Great show last night, almost missed it but rushed home to see it. :cheers:
Glad you like the show last night. I am the guy from NY with the Daytona. Hopefully people will see that Mark did listen to peoples feedback and there is more about the cars and mixed in is a bit or the "reality" stuff to appeal to a wider range of people other than just a car guys. He actually does a better drift coming out of a bridge for a commercial he did for Chrysler. How did you like my pinewood derby daytona? :icon_smile_cool:
Mark needs to release the show on more channels though, that more people actually get. Or release the shows on DVD's so a guy can but them and watch them.
Hi, right now,from what I understand, Velocity has the rights to the show -- just the way the business works. He is though planning on making DVD's to sell. If enough people wrote some nice comments on the Velocity Facebook and "liked" the Graveyard Carz facebook, all those little things add up and maybe some channel like History or TLC would take notice ?? Worth a shot.
I'll have to find this to watch.
i knew we were going to see more of the drama stuff, but really? only work we saw was cutting a few panels out and a frame rail? I watched the whole show, and I'll probably watch the whole season, you do such great work, dont skip out of showing it to us.
(ps, i know it's already in the can, just wishing)
I really hope we see more of the daytona being built, i like chargers more than challengers
Kudos for getting a show together and getting on tv, been there tried that, know what kind of hell that can be
They don't show much on any work being done.
Trick my truck and overhaul show 100 percent more work than these clowns.
R4daytona - nice project and VERY cool you were able to give GYC a chance to make it better than Factory! Can you post some progress pictures on here? I assume we will miss a lot of the progress on the show.... :shruggy:
I know they most likely have filmed A LOT of work on the cars In the shop, but the editing is a bitch to make the show fit in the time slot.
Last night was a good mix, but hopefully once they get their feet planted better they can show more details of the cars! :cheers:
Animal -- thanks, he has not sent me any pics, but I will try to get some to post. I do know Mark has tried a couple times, but gets some kind of error. Their skill is incredible and I'm very the joke I made to kim at Passion4mopars led to me meeting up with those guys. He is trying to find that balance to make as many people happy as possible. However he knows he won't please everybody. I'll try to get some photos.
The guy may be really good at what he does and a vast wealth of knowledge, but I hate how it always seems like hes talking down to people. like his quote about only a handful of people in the world can do that......maybe that's part of his plans for the show. To be the Jr Ewing of the mopar world. Just rubs me the wrong way. sorry.

I assumed it may be tough to have progress pictures posted since they are building a show, but maybe a few would be okay! Either way you're gonna have one killer Daytona when it's done! my wife and I hope we run into you since we live in CT, but of course we have another year or 2 before we're cruising in ours.... Although once you have it back you'll probably have to go on tour as the GYC Daytona!! :rofl:
I can see how some of Marks comments may rub people the wrong way, but it seems like a lot of that is just for the show! How was he when you visited?? It makes me laugh to hear him talk like he is the "only" one who can do that work! For his own show, he is the only one!! :nana: :smilielol:

he comes off as an arrogant bastard , but you can tell most of his comment are sarcastic and tongue and cheap stuff.
Animal, CT is not that far. Have you ever heard of the Syracuse Nationals? It's a hugh show (about 7,000 cars!!! ) it is all makes and models though. It's about mid-state NY. Anyway, right now the plan is to go to that this year. I realize this may be a drive, but perhaps it's something to consider? We could probably meet if you like. As to how was Mark when I was down there? Very welcoming and down to earth. In fact all the guys were like that. Mark does have the sarcastic sense of humor, but can take it just as well as dish it out. Daren, very dry and quiet sense of humor. One of those guys that plants a seed in your head. Here's an example: I called this weekend about some stuff, Mark put me on speaker phone and said : "say hello Daren" ( he was in the shop also) Daren said to me "Hi Tom, you know scrap is pretty high right now, you'd probably get more for your daytona as scrap than what it's worth" I told him (tongue in cheek) "now you've hurts my feelings" Daren said: "It's all bondo,it's worth nothing" I said " oh, so then it's still worth twice your challenger" I knew it was all in fun and and mark called him a jerk, again, all in fun. Royal, pretty quiet, more serious, best friends with mark since they were kids. Josh, nice guy, younger and learning as he goes. My best friend and i are horrible to each other when we are together, but we respect each other because we know each other. Perhaps it comes across as egotistical, but Mark is the first ones to ask questions if he doesn't know something. I think we all get "pumped up" when we do something right or get the "man I nailed that" when we do something good. Like when i was with this chick... oh, thats another story :smilielol: Like I've said before, it's not staged, it's just four guys busting on each other. Some people are way to serious about this. Lets put it in perspective, he's not solving global warming or performing brain surgery, He just a guy that loves Mopars and is trying (with no financial or technical help) to develop a fun show about Mopars. And whats the harm in that.
The shows are excellent.
I agree they are excellent!
Hey Tom, I have heard about the nationals from on here and Muscle Car Magazine and would love to go! May have to plan a trip next year in our daily driver first as our 70 project may not be ready for that trip yet... Our goal is to take our car to many car meets in the future and maybe hit the big road rally in Michigan (big dream) at some point. :2thumbs:
I had a feeling that the GYC crew was just like my buddy's, just having a good time and getting shit done with lots of ball busting in between. Good to know its not just for TV! Great quick response to Daren as they will definitely have another dozen cars complete before his is drive able! :rofl:
Will reach out with a PM if we get a chance to hit NY! We hope to catch up with Bill440 in NJ at some point as well! :cheers:

I think I should be on the show. Just ask the guys on this site how much of an idiot I am. :icon_smile_wink: I've been driving these guys crazy for years now and they haven't canceled me yet. Here's a few things we need to talk about first. I will need to be paid in cash due to a small legal issue. Will I need to have a drivers Lic? Will I have to be drug tested? I will need my own hair & makeup people. There's more but we'll talk later... :callme:
LOL ~ you got my vote!

Tonight at 9 season 3 begins!! We'll see how it's changed, I like this show. :2thumbs:
so was it as good as hoped or was it 80% bs and 20% cars like last seson
It was a good show with a better balance.... Seems like they are setting up for more car coverage. :2thumbs:
I've been watching the Brit show 'Wheeler Dealers' and would love to see some of it's format introduced (especially an American all muscle car version of the show). Very minimal drama and the repair part is done top-notch.

There was a show they fixed up a 70 Charger from the U.S.
Wheeler dealers is one of my favorite shows, but since GYC doesn't just spin the spanners and shine the fiddly bits to flip a profit :smilielol:, it's hard to compare.... :cheers:
It would be great If GYC did shoot a little more of the cars on the lift while they switch old for new/reconditioned parts though..... :2thumbs:

that's exactly what the automotive hobby needs a show where you get to see the "hand on" side of it not just the rusty heap/finished beauty, need more of the in between bits :2thumbs:
I did see the Charger episode of WD as well as the Mustang.
Counting Cars is sort of similar and is really cool that they talk numbers and don't make that a mystery. But the work on the cars is really hidden.
WD can make rebuilding a distributor, replacing a window, or a wheel bearing interesting. Contrast with GYC where Mark "has to" become super-egoist and Darren super-annoyer. I say "has to" because I believe it is all lowest common denominator/race to the bottom BS. Present an entertaining and intelligent show and people will watch.
Here are4 pics Mark sent me. I know he's been swamped (contrary to what you've seen on the show). One of his goals is to start and finish one or two cars each season so you won't have to watch the start of a car in one season and then the finish in another. It's going to take some doing since he produces the shows with his own money. He's hired a couple guys to help, so just know he's working on it. I still say, (of course I'm biased) lets simply enjoy a show about mopars and watch it develop. Lets help him out with some decent comments on teh Velocity facebook so a chevy or ford show doesn't happen! OK, yes I like some of those too. You'll notice my swiss cheese floor that I was starting to drill the spot welds out then stopped so I could keep some of the structural integrity while being shipped. I'll be glad to try and answer any other questions I can. This shell is the way I got it. I told mark that i prefer he blast it rather than dip. Just my personal preference.
I see he cut the frame in half. :scratchchin:
Those were actually from the shipper that first brought it to my house in 2008. Needless to say i was not happy about that. If I don't drive the car back it's going to be tire strapped when it's shipped.

Where do you see that the frame is cut in half?
The rear frame?
I know what you mean about the terminology, I don't see the frame cut in half either, I was figuring it was about the tear marks from those three frame holes. I will never use that shipper again. Showcar Services hauled the car out to oregon and they were great. This first guy, not so much!
3rd picture down. No frame..Maybe I am blind.
The car is a unibody, thats where the frame ends and the floor pan starts.
I think he's talking about the crossmember. I'm guessing it's still attached to the floorpans.
Not sure either I guess, there is a difference between removing a cross member and cutting a frame in half. If anybody wants to call me with any questions, feel free, I'd be glad to talk. I'm sure I'd learn a few things becasue there are guys ALOT more knowledege than I am about these cars: (716)549-1756 Tom
Found this picture, perhaps it helps? :scratchchin:

So how did the shippers tie your car down using the 3 holes in the rear frame?
Oh, that picture helps 100 percent. :2thumbs:

Look at underside of the rear rails, the holes ain't so round no more. :rotz:

After watching this weeks episode I have come to the conclusion that GYC is a reality show no different than any of the others. It is primarily about the personalitys that make up the crew, how they interact, and how they mis behave. It has very little to do with the cars, very little. And that is a shame. It is very evident that they have great knowledge of how Mopars should be re built. That is what I, and I would think most of us on this board would love to watch them do. But instead we get to see them act more like the tow truck hillbillies.
I agree. They need to gear towards Trick my truck and overhauled. At least there they have before and after..Body, engine ect....

USA cars they've done are a Ford Mustang, 68 Charger, Chevy 3100 pickup, 57 Chevy 210 and a Willys MB.
list of cars they've done here

it's a much more informative and useful show than most other 'restoration reality' tv shows.

I'm still holding out hope. Mark has a wonderful daughter, but I don't want to see her wedding. :rotz: I almost deleted the recording right there but I really want it to work so I punched the skip ahead button. It got better after. I am going to give this week a shot and go from there. My boys couldn't deal with last season and stopped watching. I am trying to bring the back but they have absolutely zero tolerance for the dramitics.
its recording right now. :popcrn:
yep, i record, then watch later. so we will see how the next episode fares.
OK, I watched an episode last night & saw 10 minutes wasted in a pumpkin patch which I thought was a complete waste of time, but i understand the producers want dopey drama. In another segment Mark & the "Holes In His Earlobes" were clearly seen leaning over unprotected fenders installing a clip in the air grabber hood of the green '71 Charger. Maybe they do good work, but in my opinion, that is something you do not do on any customer's car, let alone a fresh restoration. Totally unprofessional.
Imagine how much work would get done on the cars without all the unnecessary drama crap going on. :scratchchin:
Watched the latest show and it seems they are showing more details on the cars!! :2thumbs:
Would like to know what the story is on the 69/70 red charger they walk past In the back area.... :cheers:
There's enough drama at my workplace, I don't want to watch it and PAY for it.
just watched the second episode. yes, there is more working on the cars. got some goofy stuff in there. im still on the fence and waiting for episode 3. :scratchchin:
Saw 2nd show,the 15teenth, missed the 1st was sick.lot better this year and still have high hopes. put pumpkins again come on,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,please more cars and wing cars,less crap an screw ups.
Watching at poor HOUSE,20 some blocks from welbys shop,drop in.. east coast may bee a bit of a drive,haha. well great show cansidering the big times here in springfield,oregon,haha :smilielol: :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :popcrn: :popcrn: :popcrn: :drool5:DJ/S REVIEW :rofl: :D
SEARCH---- VELOCITY TIMES,,,,,,,,,,1ST AN 2ND WILL AIR AGAIN THE 17TH AT 9 AN 10 ESTERN
COMCAST,,,CH711 IS VELOCITY ON WEST COAST???? DJ
I watched the last episode and it was MUCH better IMHO. More car stuff, and I don't think they went overboard with the drama. Yeah, they still snip at each other. But as long as they're working on a car while they're doing it, I'm good.
Oh...and the fact that they were working on a '71 Charger R/T...my favorite car...didn't hurt! :icon_smile_big:
still loving it as alway :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs:
at 52 minutes in, they showed the gauges with the motor running.....there was almost no oil pressure. something isn't right!!!!!

Could be the gauge. After I refaced mine the oil pressure went from 60 to 20. Go figure.
I'm sure that was Darens fault too!!! LOL. :smilielol: :smilielol:
He was torn between hooking up gas or finishing gauges and skipped both to mess with the son in law!! :slap:
Since I have this recorded I watched it a 2nd time and its cool to be able to see more details on the cars! The ball busting is funny! Not sure how Mark found that tiny spring clip....
Great show last night!! :2thumbs:
Amazing private collection, and look forward to seeing the AAR Cuda completed! :cheers:
Nothing like doing a bunch of cabentry with a restored car at risk.
I cant understand why he tries SO hard to showcase his crews inadequacies...... Bring your cars here My crew sucks. Thats what it seems like hes saying.
I was a little surprised that the car was still in the room when they I stalled the cabinets....
The show has mopars in it so I'm happy!
i have to agree with the cabinets being put together with the 71 setting in the garage. that did seem odd. the show has improved though. marks evolving. :2thumbs:
Love the show, wish they had a shop on the east coast. would love to apply to work there

If it wasnt there you guys would be whining about there not being any mopars in the scene .
really like the show and either i'm getting use to it or they are toning down the horseplay. but last week, to punish the guys, he gave them "wiener shots". what grade are they in? i knew an old army guy that always said, "you don't mess with a man's woman, pay or chow", i would add a 4th, you don't mess with a man's wiener!!!
Mark is "Buzzard Beak" lol
I was just down at Marks shop last week and they have an amazing set up and they do amazing work. You guys criticizing them about putting the cabinets together with the Charger in the room, that room is a lot bigger than it seems on TV, so no worries.
There is a lot of very cool Mopars there that will be saved and are going to look amazing when finished.

Yeah my area of the mid atlantic would highly welcome a shop like that, Id love to work in such a shop. guess ill just have to wait on the lottery
Anyone know how far they got on the Orange Cuda?
found this cool clip(s) on the velocity page. Hopefully it opens...not to computer savy I have to say. There is another really cool one about suspension markings. Anyway, hopeully it works. http://velocity.discovery.com/tv-shows/velocity-presents/videos/replacing-panels.htm
looking forward to tonights show
I gave up on this show. Watching a bunch of goons bust each others balls for 70% of the show time just doesnt do it for me. I want to see details on how the cars are put back together and why. I have better things to do with my time than watch "another" reality show. There are better programs that get technical and hands on, maybe not Mopar specific, but cuts the crap and gets to the meat and potatoes. Come on, two guys have to run to Napa for a universal joint. Get real.
:iagree:
I never watched any of season 2 :icon_smile_blackeye:
i think it may be getting better :Twocents:
luke
It is getting better but there is still a lot of extra crap. Each show has had less so I am still hanging on. Its really cool when they stick to car stuff.
taking the good with the bad
it fun to watch most of the time. im eager to see more on the cuda
the cuda will be a big job. im interested in watching the daytona get going.

I really enjoy each show, but I do record them, so I can fast forward if the joking around takes to long! :shruggy:
It was cool to see the tear Down of the Daytona and the paint looks amazing on that purple Cuda! :2thumbs:
Seems like they are showing more details, but it does take time for them to settle in. Unfortunately they have to reach out to non Mopar folks to make it a "show"... :scratchchin:
Big :2thumbs: for the show!
Would like more details on the other cars parked In the back
I watch the show, but it has turned into an infomercial this season. This episode they even went as far as to promote a paint ball company. I understand promoting companies will help with the show, but I don't need to see 5 minutes of complete dumbness while hanging a banner of the lift company...just promote it and be done with it. :Twocents:
my buddy from work wanted to talk about the show. he's trying to break into the mopar car world. he has a few old mopar trucks. anyway, he was saying what great work mark does and him and his wife enjoy marks humor of feeling genius above the others. he says they both laughed at the show, and enjoy mark. thats pretty cool. :2thumbs:
Great show this year!

Yah and they had to take the slip yoke with them WTF...
Isn't the 1350 the big u joint?
Both season #2 episodes are recorded on my DVR but I haven't watched them yet. Season #1 was just to much for me. :brickwall:
Mark seems like a nice guy. But the plot and characters seem to be exaggerated just to appeal to the producers. :scratchchin:
I've also watched to many so called "Car Shows" with the exact same character traits to nausea. :smilie_help: Were's the F-ing originality Mark? :shruggy:
For example, you'll always have the fearless hero (the owner). Then the sidekick. The villain. And someone who annoys the villain. Don't forget the stooge or scapegoat....he annoys everyone!
I hope season 2 gets better :Twocents: :Twocents: Ultimately I'd like to see this turn into something like "Dream Car Garage" when Speed TV followed cars built by Peter Klutt of Legendary Motorcars. :2thumbs:
Mark: aka : Buzzard Beak ...Has yet to show back up here after starting a thread. Maybe we should call him Chicken Beak. :hah:
nvrbdn, thanks for appreciating the show for what it is, simply a guy trying to get a show going about mopars. C-stripes, glad you made it to the shop, it's pretty amazing the cars and facilities he has. Mark is a decent guy despite what some may think. I actually thought it was funny that Royal put him in his place with the paintballs! It is true though, he needs to try and appeal to a bit wider range of people that just "car guys", Thats why he has some of the non-car stuff. I will glady take 6 minutes of a wedding or 10 mintues of paintball to see a show about mopars. If people want to complain about little things like that, then maybe the show will get replaced by a show called "All Chevy all the time". Yes I am a bit biased because thats my daytona and perhaps I may have the wrong thoughts about this, but when guys knock Mark and the way he does stuff, I take that as knocking the shop I chose and the way my car is going to be done. I've seen the work and the car is going to be awesome and I'm hoping to meet people at some shows and I'd be glad to let you take it for a drive. I understand and can appreciate what some may think about the sponsor stuff but when someone donates or deeply discounts something like the Shopcrane or Metal building he has to give then a plug. I thought it was kind of interesting watching the crane be assembeled. I know when I do my final interview I will be thanking Coker, Napa, Classic tube, Retro Radio, Passion4Mopars(great stuff by the way), AMD, Metro Moulded parts and Legendary. All of these people helped make this happen. In fact, as of now, Legendary is going to fly out and do an install of a complete interior. Now how can we not give them a thank you plug for that. ACUDANUT, your right Mark did start this and it would be nice for an occasional post and I will glady tell him that. Not that it is an excuse, but I know that they are starting to film season 3 and he is super busy. I will though email him and call him to let him know. He is very interested in feedback to make the show even better as is evident by this season being better than last. Cudanut, what kind of cuda do you have? Prior to the daytona I had an AAR. had to sell it because I couldn't afford both. I know it wasn't fastest, but I just liked the paint scheme, side exhaust, just a cool looking car. I'll have another one someday.
I agree! :2thumbs: :2thumbs:
R4daytona
Mark and crew do excellent work and you should be proud to have them working on your Daytona, it's looking pretty good by the way. I actually shared a whole bunch of photos I took of an unrestored R4 Daytona with him for reference.
All the critics
I find it funny that all of the critics here say what they do, yet they have never tried starting their own show. Look at Top Gear for instance. It is listed as the most watched factual show in the world. Also the most watched automotive show in the world. Have any of you ever watched the first several seasons? They have changed a lot. TV shows have to grow and change to get into that nitch that pleases the most people. Give it time and give them support and it will be the best television show on.

Top Gear UK is my favorite TV show ( and those guys are a bunch of clowns ) :icon_smile_big: :2thumbs: Now the US version that thing is just a very poor wannabee copy train wreck . :Twocents:
C stripe it was great chatting with you and Mark on facebook last night i hope you get to continue to help mark research and search for original parts and document these awesome cars .
I am by no means trying to be a critic. I record the show and fast forward through the "entertainment" parts to get to the car parts. Its was great seeing the Daytona taken apart and the Challenger being painted. I like the show because I feel like I learn something every time even if I only watch 15 actual minutes.
Love Top Gear UK and agree that their show changed dramatically over the years. Same thing, they do entertaining things but still provide some great info on cars! :cheers:
I had to rewind and watch the end of the last episode of GYC as I was laughing so hard about the slow motion shooting of Mark! They all took some good hits! Royal is a tough son of a bitch to rip up his hands and then still finish the day! Probably smart that Daren skipped as you know they would have all ganged up on him ambush style...
R4daytona - It was great to see them unload and start to roll with your car! Super jealous you're getting hooked up with A new interior! Hope they show more of patching or switching panels! :2thumbs:

And the metal awning company, and Rockstar energy drinks. To me the blatant advertising is more annoying than Daren.
In the first season I didn't mind the visits to the exhaust shop and engine builder, they are directly related to the car. This other stuff is BS and if it continues I'll quit watching. :'(

For any fans that missed the first three episodes of Season II on Velocity, they are replaying them tonight. Starting at 8:00 mp ET it's "Hey Charger", then at 9:00 it's "Six Pack To Go" and at 10:00 it's "Wet Paint"!
Mark at GYC started this thread, but never came back with any feedback. :shruggy:

Stuart,
It was a pleasure, always fun talking to mopar guys.
I hope I can as well, I love tracking down cars, parts, and history. If you ever make it out this way, let me know and we'll have to meet for lunch or something.

Hamster (Richard Hammond) owns a 68 or 69 for a while! There is a YouTube clips of him backing out of the set and driving away! May e he's on here?!?! :cheers: :scratchchin:
I know i'm a little late to this party (thread), but i have watched every episode of GYC since it came on the air, season 1 and all 3 shows so far on season II, i will continue to watch and support the show in future becuase it is Mopar based, something that's not common in automotive TV! However, there is definatly plenty of constructive criticism to be brought up towards the show, not nescisarily slamming the show, just pointing out some issues. Season 1 was pretty brutal, some of my Mopar buddies laughed and gave up on the show, it was bad let's face it. So far, season 2 has been alot better, not great, but better none the less. Still tho, fake "American Chopper" type of drama is just not nescisary, American Chopper beat the drama crap into the ground, it's old now!! Goofing around and busting each others balls is actually ok and i don't mind it, that's typically how a "shop" environment works, myself and co-workers at the machine shop i work for bust on each other all the time! It's all in good fun, nothing wrong there! But, some things just don't belong in a car building TV show, really what does a hay ride in a pumpkin patch have to do with building Mopars?? Nothing, and 10 minutes of it was way too much! Same thing with the paintball, cool sport, but not for car TV show! Do you think a paintball specific TV show is gonna go off track and show a segmant on a Mopar restoration?? LOL I don't think so! OK, if Mark wants to go off on other segmants non car related with his guy's, that would be fine for a minute or 2, but not 10 or 15!! What i would like to see, and i'm guessing the majority of the members here feel the same way, more about the cars histories, the cars dis-assembly process, why and how certain building tecniques are done and used, the body work, and re-assembly of the cars, things of that nature! When the son-in-law Josh was documenting all the assembly line markings on the rear end and suspension out of the Daytona, that was great, and something other guy's restoring old Mopars could learn something from! Honestly, i think of the old Boyd Coddington show "American Hot-Rod" as a great template for an entertaining car building TV show. It had everthing, yeah some stupid drama but not much, but it focused on the car builds and most of the steps involved in bringing a car back to life. Even when the crew left the shop for some "relaxation", it was always car related, like drag racing or the salt flats, or a big car show, not a pumpkin carving contest lol! Mark has an awesome knowledge of classic Mopars, i want to see more of that on the show! They do great work, no doubt, so let's see more of it, plain and simple!! The show is still pretty much in it's infancy, i hope it continues to get better in the future!
I think this seasons shows are better than lasts. I enjoy watching the show and am glad there is a show based on MOPARS. I know they are not popular but wondering if they get a chance to restore 1st gen Chargers. Keep making them and I will keep watching.
I saw very little improvement from season #1. :brickwall:
Mark and his crew seem like nice people but the producers obviously think this show should be made into a "Drama"! :P
I hoped it would evolve into a more serious show like "Dream Car Garage" and weave each car's unique history into the program.
Unfortunately, its still a Mopar version of Boyd Coddingtons "American Hot Rod" and "Three Stooges" with typical mellow drama we've seen over and over again. :pullinghair:
Was I the only one that winced a little as they lifted that daytona by its roof with a forklift? I can only imagine that shifting and having a fork go through the roof skin... Also, I think I saw only about 10 minutes about the cars and the rest was advertisements. :shruggy:

Ya see what I'm sayin'!
MoparmanO1, thanks for the suggestions/input. You're right, the show is still developing and improving and Mark is more than happy to listen to input that is rational and constructive like yours, as is seen by the improvements people are talking about this Season. I think you have to admit though some of it is a little picky ex: there was a comment about the two guys going to get a u -joint .... so what! I go to the store with my friends sometimes to get stuff AND take the part to make sure I'm given the right one! Let the show grow and develop before people cut it down, or better yet, perhaps they can shell $$$$$$$$$ and hire all the people and make their own show. I can't even imagine how much Mark has invested in this and people complain about a few minutes of non car stuff. :brickwall: I timed the non car stuff I saw so far in the last three shows: 2 minutes about cabinets, total of 10 mins on paintball, 3-4 in the pumpkin patch, 7 mins. on the blaster and 6 mins on the crane. Oh, and less then 1 min hanging the banner. Commercials or not, I thought the crane and blaster were pretty cool. So he's letting people see a little of his life, big deal. I'd glady take that over seeing british guys talk about cars I won't buy and can't relate to or Wayne showing me foreign cars I can never afford. I watch those shows and there's stuff I don't like, but I take it for what it's worth. As far as "drama" goes and this is my opinion only, I think drama is American Chopper lawsuits and throwing chairs through windows, or drunk chicks from the Jersey Shore getting in fist fights or The Real Housewives and their Botox talking about how much their shoes cost and getting in an fight because they didn't get invited to a certain party. As i've said, I know I'm biased but people really need to lighten up! Constructive criticsm is no problem, but some are just a little bit picky, IMHO.

The show has mopars in it so I'm happy!
thank god someone has enough sense around here to get it .
I hope these other clowns are happy watching the other 20 all chevy automotive related shows on TV :Twocents: :nana: :nana: :nana: dumb asses :nana: :nana:
I'll say it again :Twocents:
Well said R4daytona....
Great comparison with what real drama is with the other "reality" shows.. Mark should cut back on the Botox. :smilielol: :smilielol:
Drama is the wrong word to use for this show....
The crane and blaster box were cool to see as well as useful tools for the trade!
:wave: ok, i will have to admit right here that every time i take any part off i take it with me. i have had too many times where i come home with the wrong part because of an employee reading the wrong line on a computer. my son works the counter at NAPA, and i even make him match my parts for me before i leave. :shruggy:
hey, there was a NAPA commercial. wonder if i will get paid :scratchchin:
Never
Any
Parts
Available
i ALWAYS have bad luck in this place :eek2:
The thing that irks me the most is I am looking at a perfectly restored car... and all I hear from Mark is that the people working there are complete morons. There is obviously a lot of talent in that shop and it is not just the one guy.
I can't wait to see the wing cars finished.
You're right, there is alot of talent there. However it is true, Josh is learning, like we did at that age, Royal and Mark are friends from High School and Royal is very smart, Daren knows a little about alot I'd say.. also very talented. But my best friend is WAY smarter than I am, in fact he built the tranny that is going in the car and I call him alot worse than a moron! Just his style of humor. If I can afford it I may actually go there in April to work on it. That would be pretty cool but may make the finished product "surprise" a bit anti-climactic I think.
That's awesome r4daytona that it is your Daytona featured on the show, i can't wait to see them get into that car a little more! Like i said, i don't mean to bash the show, i know it's still in development basically and hopefully us Mopar fans can help shape the show as it goes! I would just like to see more about the cars, ya know more meat and patatoes and less veggies LOL, I love it when Mark rattles off all the option codes off the top of his head, that's cool! I'm a big fan of the history behind the cars, most old Mopars have a great story to tell, with Mark being heavy into that as well it would be great to see more of that too, kinda like they did with the totalled '71 6BBL 'Cuda!!
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! :punkrocka: Thanks.
You're right, I do have a problem with being long winded. Just trying to explain things. Point taken.
I really didn't remember people here being so ... Moparts'ish. Starting to remember why I left. R4, I understand what your saying
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. :smilielol: but there is a bit of information to absorb from each show.
what did you see that was helpful for your restoration? :shruggy:
Found out the brand of paint to use is what I learned.
difference between a ramcharger and air grabber ... thought they were all just called air grabbers.
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 :smilielol: 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!
Mark

I have to agree 100%, last nights episode was excellent!! :2thumbs: :2thumbs: 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?" :rofl: Good one!

recorded last night, and watching right now. :2thumbs: you guys got me psyched up.
I've never seen lower control arms done like that!!! I'm not talking about the Cosmoline or a paint substitute but you painted them backwards!!!!!
watched the show. great job. the crane was insane. so much help. congrats mark. it was first class entertainment.

I'm in newcastle nsw Australia
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.
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. :brickwall:
Mark said "lower control arms were always cosmoline dipped".... :nono:
Not true. The lower control arms on my 1967 Coronet aree painted black and they're original.
Survivors cars have been documented with black painted lower control arms, and others have been documented with cosmoline dipped LCA's. You really have to know what is correct for YOUR car, Year, and assembly plant.
I have found that the only way to watch that show is to record it & then fast forward through the made-up nonsense & drama.

Did you see the K frame almost fall out of the car after they put it on the lift? :shruggy:
Why bother with the crane when the lift can do a much better job :brickwall:
They do nice work and the advertising plugs are part of the show,must they go on and on the new drawing thingy was way too much, hey you gotta get new tools somehow I guess :2thumbs:
I wonder if any of there cars have won OE certification?
Season 4 should be about right :cheers:
The end product looks VERY nice. However...
They do keep referring to things as "factory correct", but painted nuts & bolts, clear coated components, paint to duplicate the "look" of cosmoline is NOT factory correct. It is over-restored. Like RJS referred to before, the cosmoline "finish" on the lower control arms of the '71 Cuda were done incorrectly (backwards).
This is not to bash their work in any way at all, the cars are coming out VERY nicely. But not one would call "factory".

I saw that to,the lower arm painted backwards !!!! One thing I didn't like is how,is it Deren,hung parts off the bottom of a customers vette to rattle can paint them?I'd be pissed,don't know if that vette was nice,but come on,even though it's a rattle can.............OVERSPRAY !!!!!!!!
Great entertaining show and i look forward to it every week. when compared to other shows on or other car shows that cant seem to stop replaying the same crap , im happy

Did you see the K frame almost fall out of the car after they put it on the lift? :shruggy:
I was seriously WTF, the K frame only has 4 bolts - why was it so difficult to tighten them up? I wonder how distracting having a camera crew, being 'on set', and Mark 'in character' must be.
Other little stuff like the axle yoke falling, the mentioned impact wrench on chrome lugs, and the antics while the green '71 was being fired for the first time are just heartburn inducing. I'm just waiting for them to fire up the 340 and have it run for about a minute and stop, then Mark go off on the crew because they forgot to put oil in it!
I agree with the folks that say last weeks show was the best one yet. Great details given and great camera work to capture the process. The amount of fluff was at a tolerable level for me. Looking forward to this weeks episode.
It keeps getting better!!! :2thumbs: :2thumbs:

Love at the end of this episode Mark says "Josh learned some stuff about AAR's",Mark himself should have learned something to about AAR's,he told Josh that someone had put the 11" rear drums on it cause it should have 10",....NOT,all AAR's had power disc front with 11" rear drums.For someone so deep into Mopars,how do you not know that.
Imagine if he restores the car for that guy and puts on 10" drums !!! :smilielol:
But hopefully by the time he gets going into the AAR,he will have done his homework on them.

He turns out nice cars and his metal work is pretty damn awesome....but I'm not ready to label him as the "highest quality" or "most correct" restoration out there.
Well said Tom . :yesnod:
I would find it a lot easier to raise my opinion of Mark.if he didn't already have such a rediculously high opinion of himself. A little bit of humble would go a long way.
The show is getting better though.
Let me say, that talking to Mark in person, he is very humble and a very knowledgable guy. Have any of you ever heard the word sarcasm? Do you know what it means? He is a joker and the more you get to watch him, the more you understand him. The show is humorous if you let it me. It's like watching top gear, you have to go into it with a sense of humor and know that yes, it is a "factual" show, but it's also for fun. You guys need to lighten up some and just enjoy the show. Yes, he has made some mistakes. But who hasn't? Even Chrysler made mistakes. I know of a 71 383 road runner survivor that the 383 stickers on the fenders are upsides down so it says E8E. Been that way since it was built.
The show is getting better, and will continue to do so. :)

C_stripes, many people onboard agree with you. The show is much better now, and Mark's love for Mopars can be addictive. :2thumbs:
He seems to be an all around nice guy (when the producers show him the right way).
My vote is for more of the "nice guy" Mark we've seen in season 2.
The entire crew also appears happier now, and it works much better for the audience. :icon_smile_wink:

I dont know why so few people pick up on the fact that everything he says is so tongue and cheek , he is so sarcastic and you all take him so serious . I picked up on it from day one and have been laughing ever since . I love his sense of humor its dry and kills me everytime.

i agree he's not perfect and makes mistakes but look at the OEM gold winners they are full of hard to find NOS parts and the standard change as we in the hobby
find out new and more info on unrestored originals . Mark also had to deal with his customers wants and budgets ,or what there purpose is for the car . If his customer is going to drive it , drivablity and durabilty of finishes are more important . Mark also can see his mistakes and leaves them in to show he is human . :Twocents:
I usually don't post my thoughts I just read all the ignorant thoughts people write and think they have way to much time on there hand because it generally seems to be the same people posting, Everytime I log on which is not often the same people post comments either to get there post count up or they again have way to much time on there hands compared to the rest of us. If you post allot you know who you are! People its a show, it has cars we love, who cares... get a life if you don't like it don't watch it, it's just as simple as that.... I have grown to like the show and all the MOPARS in it even the rusty ones in the parts parking lot behind the shop....

Most people here may think of me as sophisticated, suave and debonair, but in reality, I have a similar personality to Mark and I do get his brand of dry & sarcastic humor. But, on the other hand, I do realize that there are those who are void of that type of humor (plus the personality that goes with it) and will never get it.
Well,if it was directed at myself,then I can say the same back,you don't know me off this forum,as I to am very humble and sarcastic.You are reading my responces in type,not hearing my tone of voice.Do I hate the show,well I obviously know what is shown so I must be watching.Heck,a show about Mopars and restoration !!!! That's right up my alley!!!!!As you know I do paint/body restoration,and use the same products(PPG) as Graveyard,so I probably pay attention more than others as to what/how he is doing things,all body guys do as well.
So,as fast as I can pick apart his mistakes,I get it,he has a lot going on dealing with the production of the show cutting into the time he should be working on these cars if they weren't there filming.As well as,he HAS to create a drama/conflictions/comedy/etc to make the show interesting for the producers or he wouldn't have the show last.
I geuss I take it to heart more than I should as to how condescending he is to others,created for drama or real,becuase I can honestly tell you,alittle fun and criticism is fine,we do that naturally at the shop I work at,very similar to Graveyard,a bunch of tight knit friends,but being on a TV show or not,there is only so much I would take before walking away.It's not that important to me in the spotlight vs. being portrayed as an idiot or dumb and dumber.
Would our shop like to be in his place?Who wouldn't,all the contributions expanding his building ,equipment etc,as well as some clientell list growing wanting to have their cars done by the crew at GC's.
So with that,if you were referring to things I commented about,I don't think I was out of line or bashing the show or Mark,just picking apart some things I noticed he goofed on.
Part of trying to be top notch at paint/body/restoration is being very detail oriented,so I pick things out fast when I see them,habbit of nature,sorry !!!! :shruggy:

Most people here may think of me as sophisticated, suave and debonair, but in reality, I have a similar personality to Mark and I do get his brand of dry & sarcastic humor. But, on the other hand, I do realize that there are those who are void of that type of humor (plus the personality that goes with it) and will never get it.
100% :iagree: What? Did I just say that? :nana:
Well,,,, not so much of the "

So I finally saw part of a show last night (not sure if it was the latest as I was too tired to click on "info" and see). I saw the Daytona - which they kept calling a "Charger" - and the sunroof Challenger. The thing that bugged me was the stripe on the Challenger. I would have assumed he had that car memorized (as much as he seems to go on about factory correctness) and it should have never gotten through paint and clear without the stripe. After harassing that one guy about documenting every paint mark and stamp on the rear axle it seems like a major goof to have not known how to paint the stripe - or that it was even required. On my Challenger, the factory painted the car black all the way to the rear window - including most of the inside of the trunk - then masked and painted the rest of the car. It's totally obvious (to even people with little Mopar OR paint knowledge) when a Challenger bumblebee stripe is painted on last. Ok, so someone will probably point out that maybe the owner had decided they didn't like that particular stripe and only decided at the last minute to add it so the car matched the tag. Those things happen and maybe the shop was protecting the customer. However, it's annoying to see the disrespect for the other guys (especially on details that aren't nearly as obvious) after a screw up that huge.
I hardly ever watch tv so it's unlikely the show will either gain or lose me as a viewer. Just my observation based on about 20-30 minutes of watching.

I will say I am liking the show more since this last week Mark didn't seem as mean to the guy's. I think Holley may become a big help.
Watching all the car's is always cool.
Just don't care for all the I'm the best type remarks he is always saying. I think if he had at least one OE Gold car under his belt he could get away with all of that boosting.
I will continue to watch and hope it is more like this past weeks show.
Ron
Glad you guys are appreciating the show more and his love of the cars. I get what you guys say about the "being mean" thing and in fact I told him about that a few weeks ago. Believe it or not Mark already recognized that. Don't get me wrong, he is sarcastic, cutting and a ball buster and he's not going to change, however, I believe you will see in season III the same sarcasm, but perhaps less of the "meaness" you guys are talking about.
Just know he does listen to what people are saying, and is always looking to improve the show, but he still needs to be himself.
Maybe I'm going to show my age here but here goes. Remember the Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts? Remember how mean Don Rickles was to everyone on the stage? He was mean and cutting, but it was all done in fun and that was evident by the end where he finished with a compliment to the guest. Well something similar could be said about Mark, he's cutting, mean, but always finishes up sitting next to Daren wrapping up the week. I few weeks ago I told Mark that if Don Rickles had a mean brother it would be him thats how I came up with that analogy anyway, thats my :Twocents:

Good point.
He [proclaims to be] the the brand expert for OEM restorations... :D But I don't recall ever seeing a feature car in any major Mopar magazine affiliated with Mark or Welby's collision.
I could be wrong... :shruggy:
Why don't all you haters take it elsewhere before you chase people off watching the show. I for one am pumped there's a show on TV with Mopars on it. You nitpickers kill me. It's a TV show. Don't ruin it for the rest of us, sheesh.
i really dont think that negative talk will drive watchers away. the show is for some and not for others. but in an open conversation board i think it would be a little boreing for 25 guys to keep saying to each other how great the show is. positive thoughts and negative thoughts spark conversation. without both, this thread would have been dead. also, if the guy took the time to watch the show and 20 minutes in still hadnt worked on a car, 2 minutes of welding, 10 minutes on holley, 2 minutes walnut shell blasting, 5 minutes removing the gas tank, rear end, front suspension,10 minutes meeting an ex owner of the cuda, 3 minute recap, i think he has the right to express his opinion on the show in an open forum about that show. :shruggy:

I'm watching the show so I don't hate it :D
I also listen to Howard Stern and I'm not a huge Stern fan. :shruggy: Does that make me a Stern Hater. No. I think Howard can be an asshole to his crew and listeners sometimes..... but I'm a big boy and can take it.
Stern puts on a entertaining show designed for his target audience....just like GYC. I "get it". Because I listen or watch a program doesn't make me a "fan". Stern and GYC could vanish tomorrow and it wouldn't kill me.
You can never satisfy everyone. Buzzard Beak kills the show imo. hugs.

HORSETOOTH JACKASS! :nixon:
We should get Mark and some of the 'experts' here and lock them in a room for a couple of hours. How long would it take till blood is spilled? :smilielol:
show was kinda slow this week.holly in a empty office boring,and another damn coffee run waste of time .some good work on the cars,just not enough. still enjoying and hope for more wing time.
as for the paint ball show,many may not of seen the yard sign. auto wrecker since 1949 an still in business. that yard ive gone to for over 30 years .was one of the few that held the cars for a very long time ,lots of mopars .the yard was newer stuff by the office and project too the far right when entrying yard. and way down to the left were parts cars back to the 30es and 40es. like once a summer they wood have a all you can carry sale $25 bucks. till few years ago ,new oregon rules and laws. they had afew sales and crushed bout 200 old cars and pickups and 8 dodge panels 55 -65.
that yard use too have afew good old ,semi retired guy working the phones in a separite office to sell rust free parts . many of the mopars and chevys in the part car yard wood get the back rails trunk and quarts cut out an shipped east. before new replacement panels the yard helped save a lot of rust belt and east coast rides. it wasnt just paintball as that was not the safest place to do it,but apart of car history and past,i guess?dj :Twocents:
I still think they should make a show like "American Restoration ". From beginning to end on a car.

Better yet, give us access to the new security cameras. We could help watch the shop and watch the progress on the cars ourself.
Curious what the whole story is with Josh.....
I like how the cameraman found the cowl while the guys gave up and went to break room!! LOL.
Nice to see so many cars all at work at the same time. Look forward to more on the Daytona!!!!
I personally enjoy the show. I have my children involved as well (when they're not in bed since it's on a school night) It is nice to see all those Mopars being brought to life again. There's no way Mark could focus only on one car from start to finish in one episode, the process takes too long. It is nice seeing as it is in real life, a process of hurry up and wait. Even in a professional business, things come up that put things on hold (hence its nice to have multiple projects - wonder what the scoop is on the apparently F6 A12 Superbee I see). It's a show, but I know 1st hand he's a big fan of Mopar and always willing to learn. I have spoken to him about Tom's Daytona and forwarded references I have found over the years to help him. He's very open-minded....
I hope season III is sold ( can't remember if he's approached Velocity yet on it ) and he has continued success. I take the banter with a grain of salt and chalk it up to entertainment. Hopefully Josh will be able to find something in his work life that will make him happy ( it is tough being a responsible Dad and husband )....... It's cool Mark was able to start something with his best friend Royal. Best friends are priceless...

It seems you can only get short clips about 2:30 min. long on the Velocity website and a few on the Graveyard Carz site as well.

I did like seeing that Mark left the wing washers attached to the trunk gutter so the original spot welds were maintained. It will be interesting to be down there working for a week. If I can, I will try to record some behind the scenes stuff. Also going to have some candid talks on improvements for S3. We're still looking to improve!

That's one thing that you need to keep in mind when watching this show. These three guys have been best mates since high school (Mark & Royal at least, not sure about Darren). If anybody on this site was spending their days with their best mates of 30 odd years, restoring some of the coolest cars ever made - how would they be any different? Jokes, laughter, piss-taking, pranks - arguments and fights that you brush off after a few minutes.
Show could be better, but there are many, many, many shows that are much worse - and their cars aren't Mopar's.
Trust me I am use to the guys and their pranks. Like when my Challenger was at The Rod's Shop. I went over one day and Rod wired a Chevy Bow tie to my radiator support. Just to see if he if could get a rise out of me. There is a pic of it in my thread. So , I put a Viagra pamphlet on his rustang's windshield for all the customers to see. :smilielol: I get the pranks. Just thought the phone calls were a little over the top for the show. :Twocents:

The part I disliked most was Mark coming up with all sort of creative names for Josh, just downright rude. If my boss did that I'd tell him to take the job and shove it. If my father-in-law did this we would be 'estranged'! Combined, it's all the worse.
I'd tell Buzzard Beak (Mark) to F_ _ _ Off if he treated me that way too.

Yep,The belittleing is what I dont like too. He has the opperatunty to showcase his staff,his facility and his own knowledge. Instead he acts like a 2 year old.
"Flame on" I know..... Just his style of humor.....blah..............blah..................blah.
Believe it or not, I agree with you to a point that it does get a little old after a while, but I live with it. Also know this though, Mark and I had a lengthy discussion about this after teh 3rd episode and as I mentioned once before he realizes that it can come across the wrong way. He means for it to come across as sarcastic as his humor is but he gets that it may not be taken as that.
Oddly enough, I pulled a similar phone prank on a friend and kept setting up an appointment to get an electrical estimate from him, but always cancelled at the last minute. I kept it going for 3 months!
I guess I would offer this, take it as a compliment that he listens to the input and wants to develop the show into something that you guys would appreciate. Alot of people developing a show might say "F@#*k ya" but he's not like that. I think last night you guys saw that he does have a humble side. Oh well, thats my :Twocents:

Completely agree, 100%.
There's NO way I would work in an environment being treated like that, much less by a father-in-law. Perhaps Josh is MUCH smarter than he is portrayed to be. :scratchchin:
Yes, his "sarcastic humor" is definitely coming across the wrong way. It looks like immature, incompetent children on screen.
For his sake I hope that it's just hamming it up for the cameras. I really like the content, but the presentation could use some tweaking.
:Twocents:
I really liked Wrecks to Riches, which apparently ran two seasons and vanished. Barry White's work was awesome, they actually showed them working on the cars and there was a reasonable amount of "TV nonsense" involved. I love Mopars and I am watching Graveyard Carz, but for crying out loud Mark (he has been on this thread) can you guys actually work on the cars? It is turning into a bad ripoff of The Three Stooges set in an autobody shop.
Without Josh the show was literally unwatchable. With him? I will keep trying...but if Wrecks to Riches was still on I would pass. I also tried All Girls Garage, but that was just basically a joke.
The story about the Cuda was a step back in the right direction. You make a big deal about the history of the cars, but then often ignore it completely.
I loved it when Royal an deron were riding around in the cuda convert ( like they were driving it ) , and then they cut to full screen shot they were on the back of the Roll back :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
Humor is subjective. Unravelling the mystery of how a rare muscle car ended up wrecked, rusted, or left for dead is pure genius.
The initail hype of Graveyard Carz was the backstory (tracing back the history of cars demise by retelling owner accounts) with Mark "leading" his guys in the shop to complete a factory correct reincarnation of the car when new.
This storyline only lasted a few episodes. :brickwall: Instead of shop segments that highlight the details and challenges involved to create the perfect car, we get more and more segments with unecessary goofs, pranks, blunders, personal attacks, and insults.
I don't think it can be called "Graveyard Carz" without learning about the cars past, and how it got into the graveyard in the first place! :shruggy: Do you recall the "every car has a story" opening line?
Here's a question... If the current format of Graveyard cars was about Fords would you still watch it? :scratchchin: :scratchchin:
im enjoying it , just enough tv crap most of the time and the car stuff is great. Id love to work there with mark, im sure its not as crazy as it looks. Too bad im on the east coast. Id like to hear more about the restorations process and things that take these cars to the next level. we all see, know and have heard many times the basics, its the stuff you can learn from guys that have done it for years that makes a car better then average. ill keep looking forward to the bits and pieces that you can get from the show.

I agree 100% :2thumbs: If you focus on the things you learn it makes the 40 min of your life spent watching the show worth it. I start out with the intent to watch the whole show every week. Once I reach my limit of TV drama I hit the FF button and only stop if I see a car/part in the frame. It works pretty good that way. The cars are freakin awesome and I love the back stories.

If they would stick to the original format of the show. Shelby 's Super Coupe" would have been perfect ." Just because of the back story of the car. Plus all the original owners paper work is in the car. " every car has a story " . They need to stick to that. :Twocents: Plenty of Mopars out there with great stories.
i have actually talked to a few people about this show that do not own mopars. including today at the insurance office where the people asked me if i have been watching. they love the show. they like the humor. the really like the cars. there are quite a few people following this show that dont own the cars. :yesnod:

Also,from last week with the red cuda having a wavy driv quarter that should not have been painted,anyone catch the view thru the plastic curtain,geuss the pass 1/4 was screwed up to,you can see a big section primed over the new red paint on that panel as well,geuss alittle premature to go to paint huh ?
I hope this was just a bloop,and they keep on track for the quality of cars and not the spotlight .Would'nt want to see mishaps like that on a Daytona.
I like the mopar stuff but the drama is getting out of hand.I record the show now and fast forward through the bs to the car stuff.
:popcrn: :popcrn:
The last episode had about 3 minutes worth of worthwhile content. ::)
Thank goodness for the fast forward button.
Is it possible to unfollow a thread? I see no need anymore of keeping an eye on this one and the daytona thread, as they have both turned into the same thing

the wife says, why is he letting those two guys drive the cuda around? wouldnt the owners be upset when they see their car cruising around? well, we laughed our buts off when we seen it was on the back of the truck. :smilielol:

Anybody else notice how low Mark was sitting in the driver's seat of the Cuda? I know he's not Shaq or anything but it looked unnatural, like there was no seat bracket underneath the seat or something.
It's a show getting better in my world of TV, which is worthy of getting DVR'd. There's a bunch of fake and rehearsed scenes, but it beats a bunch or garbage on TV now.
:2thumbs:
Pretty good show last night! :cheers: Cool info on the superbirds and putting front end together on the Cuda!

I believe he's corrected these inaccuracies. I spoke to him a few weeks ago about Tom's Daytona and lower control arms in general ( saw the ones he did for the Phantom 'Cuda ). He was very receptive to input. These episodes we're seeing now were filmed last year..

Seriously???? They must have had a different episode on my tv because what I learned was that it takes 3 guys to assemble a K-frame and when you get down to it, barely anything was actually shown of the assembly. Worthwhile content: 45 seconds. Fluff: 5 minutes. Yes, the 4 minutes of the Superbird story(near the end) was very good, but other than that, there was nothing but fluff and nonsene in between. I kept waiting to see something of real substance, but once again, the show didn't fail to let me down. Oh wait, Mark did manage to mention a new brand name; Outback steak house. I wonder how many free meals that got him. ::)
As mentioned I like this how. I understand the need for "drama" to capture the casual TV audience, but the last episode was the most complete waste of potential awesome in the history of ever.
They had this great story about how a dude growing up heard an urban myth about a Plymouth Superbird sitting on some dude's property in his neighbourhood. Some guy that would apparently shoot you if you went near his house. This dude, building a clone Superbird with some original parts, decides to knock on his door and ask for some help/information - they start to talk and discovers he has 2 (yes, TWO) Superbird's sitting side by side on the same property (and a bunch of other cars). He decides to sell both because the buyer promises one will be for himself, and the other for his son. All this magnificent history, and GYC even have one of these Superbird's sitting in front of them in their workshop, untouched for however many years, waiting for an expert to give the world a history lesson - and these <expletive deleted word starting with a C> spend 95% of the episode carrying on with some stupid crap about a <expletive> birthday party.
Shame. Shame. Shame.
I know it's TV. I know I'm not supposed to get invested with fiction, but I've never been more disappointed in a TV show. The episode finished with the story that it should have started with.

Turban, you beat me to it. I was thinking nearly the same thing. The only time I was just about "glued" to the TV was watching the history of the 'Birds. Which, ironically, isn't THAT what the show is supposed to be about in the first place??
I kept wondering why it takes 4 people to assemble a front suspension, 4 people to disassemble a rear end, or 2 people to read a VIN (which could be done with one and a digital camera...)? ::)
I'd much like to see more work & less banter, that's just me. But, it IS the only show that is nothing but Mopars, so I continue to watch it and inflict self-abuse. :D

I guess both cars are owned by members on here...

Yea, I get it, 5 minutes worth of product placement is rough and other shows seem to be able to move through them faster (like 20 - 30 seconds) but gotta pay the bills somehow right?

I too agree. They could have spent all of 2 seconds with the "surprise" birthday party. We all know Daren plays games, so lets skip that part! :cheers:
It would be cool to have Holley contact some of us from the the forum and do quick histories on our cars with a few photos.... That would take 1-2 minutes and be great to see.

I taped it, but for those who did watch it, can you please tell me if it's even worth my time watching the show in fast forward hoping to find more thasn 3 minutes of substance, or should I just not bother and delete this episode?
Ive seen worse episodes. If Mark would fire himself hed have a lot better show.
Wow,chipped the Cuda door !!!! $$$$$ fix,take door off,feather out chip/prime,remove billboard decal(order new one),prep door,repaint,sand/buff again,re-install/decal !!!!!Be more carefull guys!!!!And don't be putting on stripes/decals until last for unfortunate occassions like this !!!!!!
They seem alittle more complacent working on and around unprotected finished cars than I would do,ntm,fooling around near them to !!!!!
Am I getting this correct after watching a few episodes now?Do Mark,Deren,Royal,and Josh just disassemble/reassemble these cars?Don't ever see them actually doing the bodywork.....plastic/primer blocking/painting/sanding/buffing?I know the episode where Mark said he was the only one on the planet that can paint an engine bay without getting runs and showed him doing it,but that's all I recall of him doing the physical work?
I'd like to see more of the actual bodywork happening,not just a shot of the Daytona with plastic down the quarter.Then there was episode where two other guys came out to take the Cuda door in for the bodywork,...why not show them?
I've been watching Fast and Loud every week now to,and think that show is great as they all dive in,plus Richards humor to me is funnier than Marks.To me Richard Rawlings is more real life without scripts.

If you can't paint an engine bay without runs, you're not a painter. Pretty lame of him to make that statement.

Yep, Decals last. You cant be 100 % sure that the doors will still be in that exact same spot when its all together. Meaning if anything changes at all,the stripes wont line up right.
What is the deal with Marks shoes ? They look like spring loaded high heels. He must just wear them for the show to add height. I think he has little man syndrome. I do get a kick out of this show.
Did you hear Derens comment about the red Cuda quarter panels that had to get redone? "they finally got them straight,third times a charm!! " Thought that was funny.I was pissing myself the episode when he kept saying to Mark,"I need some Dramamine!!!!Mark was getting pissed.
I get the impression that the shop is a regular collision shop during business hours of the week. Then on the weekends the 'on-camera' staff come in and shoot 10 hours of high-jinks and 10 minutes of turning a wrench which is edited down to a show.

Seems to be the case for sure. That's how American Chopper was, especially when they started and Sr was still running the Steel shop. With a lot of the additions and separating doors at GYC, it's seems like he's hoping this will become more of a solid business and not just a "nights and weekends" affair. Takes a lot to make that work!
For some reason my DVR didn't record last night, so now I have to wait a week for the re-run...
Fast and loud at least shows before and after results. GYC is a secret joke to lure us Mopar guys into their trap of stupid. worthless and non productive BS

Yeah, that about sums it up. :smilielol:
I watched the new episode last night. Save your space on the DVR. I almost can no longer read the "FF" on my remote.
First 10 min of Mark snapping on rear window trim. Uh, OK. Then 20 min of him out getting a haircut & going to a Dodge dealer while it takes 3 guys to install hood hinges. :scratchchin: (OK, the fenders, hood, & deck lid too).
Eclipse frame straightening equipment is the new product plug, but I'm baffled that as an owner of a collision shop he does not know how to measure a frame. :scratchchin:
To sum it up the banter far outweighed the car stuff this episode.
Aside from seeing the Mopars on the show, there is VERY little actual work to be seen. Other car "reality" shows such as American Hot Rod, Overhaulin', Fast-n-Loud, even American Restoration at least show actual work, it is most of the show. The average viewer does not need to hear every single trim code or number: "Today we're working on the FC7 Plum Crazy TX9 Black 1970 Challenger R/T factory sunroof car". :brickwall: Yeah, OK.
My wounds will heal this week, so I'll watch the next episode anyway. :2thumbs:
Thanks for saving me the time. I just deleted this week's episode.
Great recap Bill!! :smilielol: :cheers:
I'm still hopeful Mark will swing the show back to talking about the history and actually working on cars.... I know I shouldn't hold my breath. :slap: Definitely glad they brought back Overhauling! All around great show!! West coast customs seems to show more work being done and still plug a bunch of product shit too! :2thumbs:
Anyone see last week when they took a 4 door jeep and made It I to a 2 door lifted for Shaq!?!? Cool stuff! He sure came a long way from pimp my ride!!! :cheers: :yesnod:
Yes its a shame. It realy could be somthing. I know fast and loud only flip cars but they do make it a car show about cars. You can see them do a lot of the work good & bad. I have watched GYC all along but am about done with it.
I wrote my last post here before watching this latest episode, which I have just watched. This episode more than any other confirmed that they are just there on the weekends filming. That's fine, probably quieter for filming without hammering and air tools.
This episode was okay, not as retarded as some. Less Daren playing the game, some work done. The 'chips' thing was funny the first 3 times, then it lost value. I like Mark's enthusiasm for Mopars, but every time I start feeling the love he starts in with the insults and ego BS. Turd this, turd that.
Mark, you've got to let it go. I end up feeling a bit used after most episodes - used as the laugh track for the insults. But I'm not laughing.
As far as I'm concerned Daren and Josh can be let go and a couple of real craftsmen take their place. Showing actual restoration processes, detailing, assembly, etc. can all be entertaining if filmed and presented well. It might be interesting enough that even Ford and Chevy people could relate. I'm close to throwing my arms up in the air too.
wheres all the "new members' defending the bs etc :stirthepot:

. He was married when the 1st season started. A little Facebook stalking . Looks like he still married. He just doesn't advertise that fact. His wife does though. :shruggy:

the first step to recovery is to admit you have a problem :2thumbs:
Yes Mark is married, his wife is very nice. I'll try to be positive despite all the negativity. As I've said before, I'll be heading down there next thursday and staying for a week to work and hang out. We (Mark and I) understand and listen to the constructive critiscm and suggestions. But do people need to keep raggin on him for stuff that was filmed last year? As Mark stated from the beginning he wanted to make this a show about characters that happen to like cars - and lucky for us it is Mopars. He didn't want another show about customs or flipping. He wanted to appeal to a wider range of people than just car people. Alright, perhaps his demeanor is being taken as it should. He and I talked at length about changes/improvements, one of them being his humor and perhaps lightening up a bit. Another one I will mention was Hotrod98's suggestion about looking at some other peoples cars perhaps at a car show. Now, that will involve taking all the crew to film and perhaps it can be done. I like it and plan on mentioning it.
A few members here have actually callled and talked to Mark and found out that he's a really decent, down to earth guy. But yes, he does have as some would say, a weird sense of humor. He and I banter all the time, but that because we've gotten to know each other and respect each other. Perhaps some others should call him and talk to him personally instead of just complaining about him behind the security of a keyboard. I've offered plenty of times that if people want to call and ask me anything feel free to do so. (716)549-1756
If people dislike the show that much, then don't watch it .... or.. take out a million dollars (just guessing), spend years figuring out how to do with no help from any network and then film it with money out of your own pocket not knowing if it's going to get picked up or not. Oh yes, and make sure every aspect of every episode is perfect.
Look, I know we're all entitled to our opinions and maybe I come across like a prick about this, but jesus, lighten up a bit. It's a show about mopars that guy is developing and improving each time. I've seen his finished product and it's great.

I'm sure the finished product is great, but the big gripe I have (and I'm sure that others share the same feeling) is that it's a show that's supposed to be about restorations, but very little restoration work is ever shown. It's 99% fluff & nonsense and 1% real content.
I hate to say it, but this pretty much sums it all up............

I fall in that category... He was real easy to talk to, loves mopars just like me and open to new insights and/or techniques about this or that. I pointed something out to him that wasn't correct ( awkward moment for me, but he was REAL cool out it )..... Now, please everyone utilize the "Rights" I have fought for for over 21 years now to protect, that of "Freedom of Choice". Just change the channel........ Easy...... :icon_smile_big:
I like to go out and tinker in the garage on my
GT^^%$,
HU^$FEVWQ or friend's
IIN*#$#F and watch the show... Great Mopar day.....
Tom, I met you at Carlisle and you are a great guy. I wish you the best of luck with your Daytona. :2thumbs:
I would have no problem with the show. But he belittled people from the begining and should expect it in return.
Everyone makes mistakes, nobody is perfect. But, If your going to claim to be the best in the country,you better have your bigboy pants on when someone calls you out about an error. That simple.
Fact is I will likely never miss an episode. Its about Mopars and it looks like they have a nice finished product, Lts just see more about the greuling work that it takes to make it that way. By that I mean lets see the guys who are actually doing the work once in a while. Even if its just a montage.
What about the 3 minutes of time driving to Quizno's to pick up a lunch order? That was a complete waste of everyones time
The original concept was genius - unravelling the mystery of how a rare muscle car ended up wrecked, rusted, or left for dead.
The "A story" should always be tracing back history of a cars demise. The "B story"shop segment should highlight the details and challenges involved to create the perfect restoration.
A great "C-story" would be the guys lives outside of their shop life talking about anything such as cool Mopars they own or have "owned", cars shows, bench racing,...general everyday stuff. BigBird Worman think the "C Story" shoudl be about goofs, pranks, blunders, personal attacks, and insults which adds zero value for me. :Twocents: :Twocents:
The show production is out of balance. Instead of giving us decent "A" and "B" storylines.....we're stuck with 70% "C-story" , 20% "B-story", and maybe 10% "A-story" on a good episode. :Twocents:

That doesn't sound interesting at all. All he could do is stand there and ask questions about a car, or just talk about it himself. What's the point? To do it he'd need to be able to spend 5 hours on 1 car, get it up on a hoist, and talk about everything unique to that car, why it was done etc - that's an entire new show in itself.
Mark doesn't need to add anything. He's got everything he needs right in front of him. The cars in the shop are awesome, yet we don't know crap about them. That black 'Cuda he was putting the rear louvers on in the beginning - It's now virtually complete, and we haven't seen anything significant about it. Sure they've been working on it, but most of the content was focused on them carrying on like idiots, not the work they were doing on the car. The only time you hear about it is when Mark rattles of some info like rapid-fire coming back form a commercial break - "so we've got such and such done on the Black phantasm car" etc - but we don't see the work.
Show us some stuff, explain what is being done & why - and we'll be happy! Don't show us a 40 second timelapse of work being done, then 4 minutes of Josh being a loud, disruptive idiot - switch it around. More work, less play. East peasy!
The thing that made me watch the show in the first place were the little clips that Mark released of him working & explaining as he went, like these:
https://vimeo.com/5545017
https://vimeo.com/5541390
https://vimeo.com/5540965
https://vimeo.com/5482221
Granted, they'd get old doing it for every car, but since it's a show specific for Mopars, get specific for Mopars. Doing some work on a car, show us what Mopar did that Chevy didn't, show us how the same thing was done differently for a 440 car than it was for a slant 6 car. He assures us he has the knowledge and skillset, and he's spent a lot of time & effort into getting the show up & running - make it worthwhile and not some run of the mill tripe.
Yet, you'll tune in next week when they go to the A&W and still continue on with the jokes and insults. Yeah, they might fit in 2 min. of car restorations

I agree pretty much too... Where's the damn Beef... I'm getting use to the format a little more, but IMHFO you can't put something on TV every week & not expect people to critique it, be it right or wrong... Most people here would like to see it succeed, it is about our beloved Mopars, sometimes at-least... But if they don't get rid of all the unnecessary fluff & BS or canstant product plugging, like the Quiznos, some many others, that's not really at all relevant products for the cars too, that type of crap, maybe good for Mark & the producers, but it will make more people tune out, turn the channel, then it will ultimately fail,
is that what the supporters/producers/Mark really want ??... IMHFO if it's just an 1 hr long commercial, or just the petty BS all the time {they have toned it down a slight bit} they will loose the little loyal audience they have now...
I personally would like to see it work, but they need to make it better, I believe we are all aware of it's filmed/taped a while ago/last year, the few here that think it's the" be all end all", seem to have a stake in the game, car being fixed/restored or are a friend/buddy, most people that comment on the nonsense aspects, don't have anything at stake in the game "so to speak", so you get an honest assessment of what they really think, not softball fluff &/or not trying to kiss Marks or the producers a$$es,
it isn't hiding behind a keyboard, it's peoples honest opinions... :Twocents:

..., it isn't hiding behind a keyboard, it's peoples honest opinions... :Twocents:
I have no stake in it what-so-ever, can do my own work and don't hide behind the keyboard............ I like it..... I have the ability to separate the real from the faux. It seems there are some with a high expectation of content. From the very beginning; it's a show, not a documentary ( this isn't running on PBS )..... From my point of view, there is absolutely NOTHING on TV that has as many mopars in a 60 minute timeframe on a regular basis... OK, maybe KFC does with their '70 Charger R/T..........
I don't think Mark planned this to be a psuedo-Roger-Gibson tech-talk............
Yes, there is scrutinity, but not badgering............ I'm not here to defend Mark, that he doesn't need. The man has created something very cool and it'll run its course. I don't think the majority of viewers are as "informed & educated" as those that frequent this or any other mopar-related Board.
Ok, time to head to the bus-stop for my commute home so I can go out in the garage and tinker.......... And turn on a recording of a show I haven't seen yet ( or, just see a rerun ).
"Look, I know we're all entitled to our opinions and maybe I come across like a prick about this, but jesus, lighten up a bit. It's a show about mopars that guy is developing and improving each time. I've seen his finished product and it's great"
But it's only 5 percent "about Mopars" 95 percent of worthless: Productivity, trashtalking and going out for food. Show me the beef. Start to end.
Rooks, tufcat, bunicks and anybody else I forgot. ( Sorry Guys, don't know your real names) I see your point on the "beef" but as Troy said Mark doesn't want it to be a Tech Talk or he'll lose the audience that the networks and he are also hoping to attract. However, I see your point that he's turning off the mopar guys like yourself and he does want to keep that audience.
Yes, I do have a stake in the show since my car is there, and I also don't think the show is perfect, nor will ever be for everybody but it has improved and people are foolish to think Mark doesn't want to make it the best it can be. Believe me I am going to spend some time with him discussing everybodys input and make suggestions.
As far as the "plugs", like Quiznos, perhaps they're sponsors, and perhaps thats what is needed now to keep the show going, especially since it's all filmed out of his pocket. Perhaps if people were more positive and possibly went to the Velocity facebook and wrote something positive, Velocity would notice. If that happened, perhaps Velocity would offer enough $$$ that Mark might not need as many sponsors. If thats whats going on. It's peoples choice. they can go to the Vel. facebook and post something negative, positive or do nothing at all.
But would it hurt to write something nice? Would it cost any money to write something nice?
I guess I'll warn everybody now, I helped get some sponsors like Coker TIre, Legendary, Classic tube, Retro Radio, Napa and Passion4Mopars. I fully intend to give a quick thank You for some things that they all helped with. I don't turn my back on people that helped.
No matter how many people piss and moan. The Mopar people are still gonna watch it just to see the cars. :Twocents:

It would appear they do nice work I think we all just want to see more of the cars maybe in a year or so we will.
@r4daytona I mean no offence to you or anyone else and Mark knows how I feel and he even said his wife feels the same way.

maybe Mark should watch some of Stacey Davids Gearz TV shows a guy insistent on doing car stuff tv out of his own pocket. Not the best ever but he tries to have balance and little drama

well, i just watched the new episode. i record it and watch when it is better for me. i actually watched the whole show. wish the camera man would have shown the scratch as it happened. think the hiding of the damage was pretty silly. but lets face it, 1. the cuda is fantastic
2. the daughter is gorgeous
3. the hair cut didnt help marks looks
4. the grand daughter is as cute as a bug

I don't know what the big deal about this is........... He's going out to get something to eat.

If I recall correctly, he was messing with the camera-man? Floored it, didn't he..... I've been in my Chargers plenty of times with a buddy and asked, "Wanna see what she can do?" :D His actions are no different than a lot of us already, he's just filming it ( Granted, a lot of us don't do the banter back-n-forth like he does ). Personally, I do, especially when I'm at the base around my Air Force buddies and at car shows with my Moparite buddies........ If we didn't rag on each other, we would think the other didn't love us anymore....... We all have thick skins and it's appropriate for the individual. I'm sure Mark
wouldn't rag on someone he felt wouldn't "welcome" it....

At least those product that you metion ed or helped to get, that will no doubt be plugged on the show, at least have some relevance in the Mopar car world, something to do with or about the cars, not some hair cut or salon {I get it, it's his daughter}, or some sandwich joint, or some stupid phone pranks, I know they had to add the fluff/BS for Velocity to pick up the show, but remember it's about pleasing or appealing to a target audience, or the show won't last, I do know if there weren't Mopars on the show, I for sure would never have even watched a second episode, let alone going into a second season... I don't do face book or twitter so there's no chance of any comments good or bad from me on them... At least there are some minuscule snippets of good information to keep the car people/Mopar crowd coming back for more... It is a little better than last year, at least the last episode had some work being/getting done, while Mark was out of the shop.. hopefully it will continue to improve & appeal to the target auience... good luck with you restoration

well, i just watched the new episode. i record it and watch when it is better for me. i actually watched the whole show. wish the camera man would have shown the scratch as it happened. think the hiding of the damage was pretty silly. but lets face it, 1. the cuda is fantastic
2. the daughter is gorgeous
3. the hair cut didnt help marks looks
4. the grand daughter is as cute as a bug
:2thumbs: now there's something nice about the show for the most part....
All that Money and Mark...AKA. Buzzard beak cannot afford a nose job. :smilielol:

Did you see her on the pumpkin carving show in the first season she was a little chubby and had dark hair.
She must have went to a body shop herself ::)
She's babalicious now! :drool5:
C'mon, Tuffy. You would've hit it before, too. You know it. :yesnod: :cheers:
Pretty funny how this all goes from "they don't show enough Mopars" to "he needs to show more of his daughter"!!! :rofl: :D

LOL this last show was kind of ok all in all Mark left and they worked on some cars with out much BS. The scratch thing went on way to long.
Know if they would explain some of there tricks on how they align the body panels
Does anybody know on these high end frame machines cant they just program the factory touch points without using a real car first?
Yeah, and after 40-plus something years, who's to say that frame might be a little tweaked also??
IIRC the factory dimensions are in the FSM. :scratchchin:
So I've now watched approximately 7 minutes of the show. As it turns out, that's nearly 6:56 more than it deserved. To reiterate, I rarely watch TV and pretty much HATE "reality" shows so I don't fit the demographics any way. That doesn't make it suck any less though.

I just watched this week's episode for the first time in 2 weeks. In fast forward of course. Along with even more stupid and made up drama, they installed 2 fuel lines and an e brake cable, and that's all there was. That & 2 more sponsors; the energy drink & repro line company. Speaking of which; wouldn't it have been easier to install all of the brake & fuel lines prior to the drive train & suspension? ::)
Because it's about Mopars, I want to like the show, but there is absolutely nothing there. Zero, zip, nada. It's really a shame because it had the potential to be a great show, but instead, it's just a complete disappointment and a waste of everybody's time. :down:

:iagree: Yeah this weeks episode was hands down the worst show in GYC's short 2 season history! Way way way overboard with the drama, fake or not, and man just a few minutes of installing some break and fuel lines, it was a bore! I hate to say it, i really do, but it's not looking like it's gonna get any better this season, maybe next season? Up untill this point i have been very optomistic about the show, thinking "it's gonna get better, it's gonna get better" but alas, it has not! Why is it asking to much to see/hear more about the cars histories, and i mean both the particular car they are working on and the history of that particular model, more on the actual resto process of classic Mopars, and less of the filler pointless stuff and drama?? I'm glad i play guitar, i had one of my guitars in hand all thru the show for something to do because the show just wasn't holding my attention (unlike Royal I know a few more than 6 chords LOL). It's also kinda of embarassing when a freind, chevy guy, texts you and says "hahaha this show sucks!", it's definatly not making us Mopar guy's look good! I hate to sound like i'm bashing the show but I dunno, yes i'll be tuning in next week to see what happens, ONLY becuase there are a few Mopars on the show, still hoping it's gets better. Please Mark, if you are reading this, give us Mopar guy's what we are looking for!
You guys forgot the 8 minutes of adjusting the rear brake pads, and taking the wheels off/on 10 times!!! :smilielol: :smilielol: :smilielol:
I will continue to watch, but I would like less of the "game" and get back to working in the cars and seeing them deliver a nice finished product while completing the story about bringing it back from the dead! :cheers:
Different show, but on the TV show Castle from this past Monday the Irish mob boss drove a sweet 68 black with red bumble bee stripe!! :drool5: Was this a members car?? They film in Cali even though they pretend they are in NY..
It seems as if they are struggling with the "Reality vs Informative" aspects of the show. The producers are obviously pushing it towards a "Reality" show and with that you get your fake drama and BS. Reality shows are a waste of time by and large and this one will be no different if it goes down that path. Dare I say... even with the drama aspects of American Chopper they would still show tanks/fenders/handle bars/ etc etc being made. Although repetitive, you at least got to see something worthwhile.
I have watched all of this season and I cant even remember seeing a welder in use. I don't doubt one has been used it just wasn't "tv worthy" based on the producers opinion.
I for one, would rather watch an hour of tv about how to correctly replace a trunk pan in a MOPAR then the fake drama. Show every spot weld drilled out. Show the techniques. Show the common mistakes I would make. Show how to fit the replacement. Next week move to the floor pan and repeat. Those episodes would get saved on the DVR. Instead, the car magically shows up with a new trunk pan and I have endured another subway trip with a midway acceleration burst from 20 to 35 MPH that is supposed to make me tune in next week.

i agree, i would be cool to show that stuff more. lets remmeber they only work on this on weekends right, so if nothing gets done by them guys theres no show. but why not show body work goin on, plenty of fill time right there
that stuff goes on all the time at the body shop. i did like the front end put together, stuff like that. talking about the story of the father and son.
i will still watch, waiting for the history lessons on the cars and the actual work.
if they worked on the casr all week, we would see major work being done each episode, just my 2 cents

I beleive that Mark is listed as a producer in the credits which I guess means that's how he wants the show to be & how he wants his business to be portrayed. :shruggy:
It could be that the Mopar enthusiast is not his target audience. Considering the fact that I haven't seen the show, but only miniclips of it, I have only one hope for his show. I hope that someone wanting to get into the hobby doesn't see the show (or similar one), changes their mind, and goes out and buy some import or other car instead. I don't want to see restoration shops getting a bad rap just because of someone's tv portrayal of one.

If someone decides to buy an Impreza instead of a Mopar because he saw the show, he deserves it. But that's just me.
I tried watching this show but you guys weren't kidding. What a load of crap!
Doesn't change my opinion on any of the cars though. I also do not feel I need to associate myself to this tv drivel just because I have a Charger. But again, that's just me.

From the look of things you are correct. It just doesn't make sense to me why the stars of the show (AKA THE CARS) are the ones getting the least amount of screen time.
I do like the show, but I guess I'm easily pleased. With that said yes he continues to show how amateur he really is, the lines should have been installed before the rear suspension, the customer that owns those incorrect wheels for the Daytona must love seeing them being impacted on and off the Cuda.
They assemble after paint like a GM and then don't even tape up the edges to protect from nicks and chips. He's forever missing stuff as they are assembling a car so they take it off a junk car strip it and spray paint it "just like the factory did"!!!!
I did say I kinda like the show right?
Fast and Loud teaches novices that watch more stuff than Mark ever could.
Oh and they have fun doing it.
I still would load my tools and go work for mark if I had the chance. I wouldn't care about being on tv or any of that bs. I would just like to work on mopars for a living, not Honda or now the Korean copy Hyundai. Best part is he's here in Oregon so I wouldn't have to move far. :2thumbs: :2thumbs:
camping in a park???? no tent???? thats funny. one saturday to put brake lines on, and one week to finish everything else.
you guys are right, its a car show about restorations of cars that are brought back from the dead with stories of those cars finding out how they died......................but never work on cars.
and if im only tuning in to these shows to watch the restoration part, this show would be off the list.....well, im taking a different approach with this one and calling it a show about guys that like mopars, and actually work on them once in a while. and im enjoying it more. there is good humor, robbing peter to pay paul stuff, and some nice cars. and "CHIP" is getting his car worked on. :smilielol:

I liked how Mark and "Chip" made up.. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... Plus, Mark wasn't too proud to ask him what he needed to do to get him back.. Such a humble lad.
How about when "Chip" opens his hood up and complains that his paint is flaking off. :o

your 100% correct on both parts... at that rate their going it won't be "done in a week", after the owner called pissed, because it still wasn't done, :slap: Mark said "don't worry just bring your checkbook" or something to that order...
Anyone watch a History channel show......American Restorations?
Not about cars at all. Most often restoring Coke machines, bicycles. etc. But Rick seems to know a lot about the history of what they do, the crew actually works, and a lot of the "how to" is shown. Disassemble, sand blast, paint. Very little fake drama. One of the few shows I watch.
So it IS possible to do a restoration show right. Would love to see cars done this way.

I've devoted enough time hoping the product would eventually get better. I've watch every episode waiting for some improvement since everybody said season 2 would be a better product. Ultimately Mark did not deliver on his promise and his perverbiable second chance was a joke because this show SUCKS! :down:
It's sad to say the only worthwhile (and memorable) segment of season 2 was the 8 minutes devoted to the Father/Son Superbird Project.
After two disastrous "seasons" I doubt we'll ever see a season 3. :badidea: He had a chance of a lifetime to make something great for the mopar hobby and blew it. :moon:

Is that your idea for a new and vastly improved host for the show??
I heard Stu's tranny swap was going as smoothly and quickly as a GYC resto. :nana:
Just because two members here are getting their car's done there doesn't make the show good. The show is mediocre at beast.
I've decided to tolerate the characters but not everyone is that forgiving. Mark comes off as a TOOL, I didn't make him that way nor did you, he's making himself that way. He may know how to do bodywork and paint but he is green when it comes to the details on restoration.
Again I didn't make him that way nor did you, he did.The couple of guy's that get all twisted when his lack of knowledge is brought to light act like they have a financial stake in this show's success.
Mark is the one making all the statements about his own accolades but I don't see any Silver, Gold or Bronze Certificate car's with his name on them.
The show would have fared better with less boasting. The antics can and should go on but only while showing PROPER procedures to the watching public.
Also I believe all the praise is Via Facebook but don't get me started on that womanlike hobby.

:lol:
I figured out the answer--- Stu and Mark Worman are both Junkyard Owners :think: This explains everything! :nana:
You guys do realize that as much as you want it, the show's main purpose is not to cater to anyone in the Mopar hobby, right?
Probably 90% of the people who watch this show are casual pseudo-gearheads who like the yuks and appreciate a few fleeting glimpses of some Mopars, and that's who they're going to pander to. Producers have to make a show that lots of people will watch, and catering only to Mopar guys (which are a small faction of the classic hobby) with an uber technical show will get that show taken off the air quickly.
That said, there could be a better balance between some of the resto stuff and the commercials. I get a little purturbed at the product placment when they go out of their way to eat 5 minutes of airtime to talk about a sandwich they ate at Quizno's. That's what commercials are for. Cutting that stuff out and injecting the same 5 minutes into a segment that just kind of diagrammed the resto at hand, what would go into it, where they were at, and cost estimates or something would go a long way towards bridging the gap. Hell they could call it 'resto breakdown brought to you by Hagerty' and flash a logo at the bottom if they needed sponsor dollars on those 5 mins.
Just my 2c

Here's a great survey question for the game show "Family Fued" :think:
Now introducing the "Velocity Family" and the "Graveyard CarZ" Familes. The top six answers are on the board. Here's the question.
"WE ASKED 100 MOPAR GUYS ON DODGECHARGER.COM THE FOLLOWING:
If the current format of Graveyard CarZ was only about FORD would you watch it?
#1 answer....NO WAY (31%)
#2 answer....MAYBE (23%)
#3 answer....MOST LIKELY NOT (21%)
#4 answer... HELL NO! (13%)
#5 answer....NEVER HEARD OF IT (7%)
#6 answer....I LOVE IT AND MARK'S A GENIUS (5%)
"Graveyard CarZ Family" rang in first. The board reveals the #6 answer: I LOVE IT MARKS A GENIUS 5%. The audience groans. :eek2:
The "Velocity Family" now has a chance to gain control and they answer "NO WAY". The audience cheers. :D
Survey says..... :popcrn: :popcrn: :popcrn:
"Velocity Family" had the #1 answer!
"Velocity Family" you're in control.... Do you want to play or pass? :shruggy:

Some candy (jelly beans, chocolate eggs, etc), & others we put money in.
Thought it offered much more variety than 3 people trying to figure out how to install brake/fuel lines.
"...the customer that owns those incorrect wheels for the Daytona must love seeing them being impacted on and off the Cuda."
That blew me away as well. :o

I have been biting my tong on this show, but your point is so true, hell these wheels go bad from not evan using an impact gun :rotz:
If most of us watch the show ''at times'' and we only watch it for the mopars. Then why would a Ford or GM guy watch it :shruggy:
His show could be a huge hit, if most the school girl BS '' no offence gals'' was left on the cutting room floor.

I had fun stuffing eggs as well. Best thing was, it really wasn't all that expensive to fill 100 eggs and the kids had a blast. Even better, they want to do it again next year.

Anyone watch a History channel show......American Restorations?
Not about cars at all. Most often restoring Coke machines, bicycles. etc. But Rick seems to know a lot about the history of what they do, the crew actually works, and a lot of the "how to" is shown. Disassemble, sand blast, paint. Very little fake drama. One of the few shows I watch.
So it IS possible to do a restoration show right. Would love to see cars done this way.
I like that show American Restorations too, his prices are high to me but I like the overall show concept...
exactly, great show with some really neat restorations. just priced high. :2thumbs:
Anyone watch American Pickers?
Some of the stuff they find is pretty interesting and they explain what it is.
It's mostly drama free and flows pretty good, maybe Mark should talk to them.
I'm still waiting for that Family Feud Question dammit! :whistling:
i've been trying to get into graveyard carz , cause i luv mopars but man they talk a lot and show very little of the work . who cares about a crappy birthday party or all the stupid banter . . i find my self fast forwarding through 3/4 of the show . not good :Twocents:
i dig American pickers :cheers:
I'm drawn to car building shows where the characters are essentially decent people and there is no character assasination - Wheeler Dealers, Fast & Loud, Counting Cars...heck, even Desert Car Kings is alright. What are some others?
One of my favorite car build shows was/is Overhaulin'.
Whether you like Chip Foose or not, the show was almost constant car build stuff. Very little drama, aside from the "gag" in stealing the car. And the premise is great: Make someone's dream car come true, for not everyone has the means to do so.
Tonight's show may have been one of their best!! All Cuda with lots of work! :cheers: :2thumbs: look forward to seeing them deliver this one!
Also great to see the Daytona sitting behind it ready to be worked on next!
Also love Overhaulin! Glad they brought it back! :2thumbs: :coolgleamA:

Bill, I agree. Overhaulin is my all time favorite car show. I do not always agree with some of Foose's paint jobs. But it is still a great show. :2thumbs: And Chris Jacobs is a hottie . :D. And a great guy in person too. :cheers:

You're killing me. I said I wasn't going to watch another shitty episode of Graveyard Garz - EVER AGAIN! :nono:
But, if this is a
really good episode like you say it is....then it won't kill me right? :think:
You've already got me fished in so I'm going to watch it. This better be a DAMN good season finale that blows away all the shitty episodes we've endured over the last two seasons.
My open mind starts right now. :violin:
Yes yes yes!!! :2thumbs: This show was by far their best ever! A ton of actual work on the Phantasm Cuda, and the part documenting that green 6 Pack 69 1/2 Superbee was great too!! Finally some good, usefull, worthy info for a change, that's how every episode should be! If they keep the formula from this weeks episode, GYC should be a big hit. Only thing I don't get was the "cliff hanger" ending, is the season finale a 2 parter and they are gonna finish up next week, or is it done and we just have to wait? (Not gonna throw out any more spoilers or details for those who haven't seen it yet)
Someone send a copy on a DVD
fantastic show last night , and cant wait to see the cast and director from phantasm on next season :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs:
Last night was their best show yet. Mark is still struggling with proper procedures though.
Why would you put exhaust manifolds on after putting the engine in from the bottom????
He was saying the 691/2 Bee was Super Track Pack but not exactly true, he should be saying all 691/2 cars came standard with a 4.10 Dana 60.
Hope the show continues this dirrection with less of his bragging and more work...

New Overhaulin shows are starting at the end of April, hopfully we might see a Charger.
I feel the Fast and Loud is by far the most entertaining with no fighting or one upping.
Car's burnouts and building.

Yes fast and loud is better.I watched the first few shows of graveyard carz on youtube, I have a hard time listening to mark wine like a baby.
I just finished the last half on Tuesday's episode tonight.
The Mopar community would probably give this episode an A+ grade....especially considering all the previous poor grades he's turned out over the past season 1 and 2.
Overall. my grade is much lower considering Mark is still showing the world his poor build assembly, inattention to details, poor working habits, lack of research, and lack of shop control to deliver a finished product without repairing damage.
I still give mark a passing grade of: C+ :icon_smile_dissapprove:

Yep, I love that show! They build cool different stuff each week. They have REAL fun doing it and their new welder hire rules.
Richard seems to be a real straight shooter,all around genuine guy.He has quite the funny one liners and comeback remarks.Although not a Mopar directed show,and most of what they build is far from my taste,I have to say I enjoy that show every bit if not more than GYC's.
I just watched the latest show. Imagine that - personal attacks and insults were down ... so they had more time to show car related stuff!
This show was the best of season 2, but they really did set the bar pretty low for themselves. I still don't know why Darren is on the show other than as a foil for Mark. I'd still much rather see competent work being done than cringing every time he's on camera with the 'game', excuses, mulling about, and generally not getting anything done. There Stu, I think I got my hater quota filled.

i liked the last episode but i still think when they went to the E Body guys garage and played Hot wheels was the best show this season :nana: :nana: :nana: :nana:
I hope season starts soon. Now that I'm out of a job I may just contact mark and see if he's looking for another shop tech. I'm only 2 hours away, and now that the inlaws will be here in June I think it's time to move :scratchchin: :scratchchin: :yesnod: :yesnod:
Yeah, that was a better one too Stu.
Does anyone else think it's weird that they pretty much stated that they just show up on weekends to work on the cars for the show? So they get paid chicken scratch for camera time and have their day job somewhere other than Welbys? I don't doubt for a second that all these car shows have other off-camera workers that move the actual progress on the car along, but it's odd that these guys don't even work there (other than Mark, of course).
I do see that Mark is pulling this all out of thin air to make a show on a budget, create an alter ego to Welbys, and run Welbys as a regular collision shop. Hopefully all sponsorship/advertising/propaganda crap is making life easier and speeding things up for the show. Ok, the optimist in me will hold out for a Season 3 makeover where some of the kinks have been worked out.
Well,it's apparent that someone else other than Mark,Derren,or Royal fixed the Cuda door(primed,blocked,painted,sanded/buffed).They never did say how the door got chipped.Kinda hard to get a chip right there and not hit the fender.If I had to geuss,being the chip was right on the edge of the body line,looks like the door was to close and chipped on the fender.
Back to what you were getting at,looks like there is behind the scenes people doing the bodywork and paint,then handing it off to the GYC's crew.So I say,why are they not included in the show ?????

Mark...aka Buzzard Beak logged on here to advertise, and that's it. when is the last time he posted anything.
I looked on Facebook also.
Mark Wormon needs to come forward with his list of Mopars restored to "Factory Original" condition to call himself an expert.
Did you know the "Phantasm Cuda" never had a shaker hood or a black billboard stripe in the movie...? So how in the hell does he call that the "Phantasm Cuda"?? :shruggy:
An expert like Mark should also know all Shaker Hoods were never painted flat gloss black on any car! Such an amateur mistake.

His clone isn't even close, fender flares sunroof hood wheels all wrong...
I guess they are bolth black that's close enough for the GYC builders :nana:
Why bother
I'm wondering if Mark Worman can even call himself "an expert" in Mopar Restorations. :shruggy:
I've searched through over ten years of mopar magazines and found zero articles related to Mark Worman or Welby's collision. :brickwall:
Has anyone heard of Mark Worman before GYC? :scratchchin: I'd love to see a catalog of "factory correct" Mopars he's restored for customers in the past. :dance:
Maybe somebody in Oregon or Washington can comment? :popcrn: :cheers:

The phantasm Cuda is a customers car that wants it built his way. We talk about that car when I was down there a few months back. Mark is a cool guy and I was pleased he let me check out his shop and all the mopars he gets to work on. He's really got a good thing goin.

I liken GYC to OCC, Sr boasted he was the best bike builder all the time. He was good and they made cool things, but best??? It's a show, they all say the same stuff, but at least it has a great Mopar background! :popcrn:
Tom, when are you heading down to spend time building your Daytona? :cheers:
Just caught the latest episode last night. While a VAST improvement over previous episodes, it still has a way to go. Two people to install an exhaust heat shield?? Really?? :shruggy:
But, at least some work was being shown. Although he does go into minute details (washers, nuts, etc), I think the vast public has no idea what he is talking about. It really is a niche market show.
Then I watched a DVR'd episode of Overhaulin'. A Chevy build. MUCH more entertaining. Constant car build action, with some humor sprinkled in & some very minor drama. Any product endorsements are just casually mentioned, just to get the product name in a sentence.
I do understand that Mark is producing all of his show, so for the "little guy" it's much harder.
Bottom line is that the last episode was much better, it has a little more to go. I wish he wouldn't be such a jerk to the people that are working for him, it REALLY does nothing to improve his image.
:Twocents:
I think overhaulin has staged drama as well. I watched an episode last week and it just seemed fake to me. It was a challenger or Cuda I don't remember. The son supposedly lost his car in a drag race and the winner tool his dads car instead. When he told his dad the reaction was not what expected. His dad didn't seem that angry which to me I thought it was staged. I can't type what my reaction would be if my son lost a race and cost me my car. I can say it would not be aired. Plus the paintjob was horrible. And they always seem to put big ugly wheels every car. Still better than that pimp my ride show that was on years ago. :eek2: :eek2: :eek2:

I think it's good now that they include the owner sometimes. So they can choose paint and rims. But I agree. Sometimes ugly

I don't hate the show, either. I find it entertaining. I watch it for the Mopars.
Will I be watching Season 3? Of course.
I hope Mark sees this too as constructive criticism. It has the potential of being a very good show. :yesnod:
looks like they have a 67 hemi gtx project on ebay.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1967-Plymouth-GTX-426-Hemi-Automatic-Original-Numbers-Matching-/330898754818?forcev4exp=true
not sure if its they own it but they are the ones selling it.
That GTX is a heck of a lot better than the Cuda (or what's left of it) that they have hanging from the rafters.
Well, just got back from a week at Marks shop. It was a blast. Once I get my pictures resized I will post them. I also took my video camera and had Mark do a small personal video message to all on this site. THAT I will have to have a friend figure out and post to youtube. Once I do, I will provide the link. To all the guys in that area, I apologize for not contacting you bit it was really busy. Next time I'm up should be a bit more relaxing.
I think most of you have the general idea about the show. Yes he is a small guy doing this on his own with his own money for very little profit. So yes of course you see sponsors that help in various ways. IF you were in his shoes, you ALL would do the same to get the help needed to produce the show. If you say you wouldn't you're lying to yourself. One of the first things I asked Mark when I got there last thursday was "what the heck was up with last weeks episode"? He chuckled and laughed and agreed that is wasn't that great but due to his agreement with Velocity and the fact that the parts he needed didn't get delivered on time he had to provide something. But it was true, Daren was pissed. SO instead of bitching, consider yourself a bit privileged on that bit of inside info.
My car looks great and will probably be painted in a week. I did alot of grunt work ie: grinding welds, using the DA to sand the inside of my lower valance so when It's painted the inside will look smooth like steel. Went thru my pod of stuff to help with the inventory and lots of other stuff. Also helped him with drywalling a building he needs to make for the whole editing part.
As far a the owner being upset of those "incorrect" daytona wheels being impacted on and off the cuda, I'm not. First, the trims rings are safely tucked away along with the center caps and I realized (correct me if I'm wrong) the the very lip should appear black once the trim rings are on. I believe I'm correct because the rim should be painted black steel? I think thats it anyway. Second, here's why I'm not upset ... Mark didn't get them, I did, in fact here's the best part Coker Tire gave them to me for FREE. Tires, rims, valve stems, center caps and air. All mounted and balanced and sent to Mark. I made the contact, I made the promise to give them a plug so I"M not going to complain. I couldn't be Happier.
You guys are correct that he does have two guys helping with the bodywork and he said he is going to show them more. Mark and his guys (derrick and Lucky) were great with me because they had my nose fit perfect to the Z-braces that came with the car but I changed it and ordered a set from Rick Fairless. They re-fit the nose with the new braces and didn't complain once.
Well its getting late and I have to go to friggin work tomorrow. Talk to you all later

Well, just got back from a week at Marks shop. It was a blast. Once I get my pictures resized I will post them. I also took my video camera and had Mark do a small personal video message to all on this site. THAT I will have to have a friend figure out and post to youtube. Once I do, I will provide the link. To all the guys in that area, I apologize for not contacting you bit it was really busy. Next time I'm up should be a bit more relaxing.
I think most of you have the general idea about the show. Yes he is a small guy doing this on his own with his own money for very little profit. So yes of course you see sponsors that help in various ways. IF you were in his shoes, you ALL would do the same to get the help needed to produce the show. If you say you wouldn't you're lying to yourself. One of the first things I asked Mark when I got there last thursday was "what the heck was up with last weeks episode"?

Thanks! I can't wait to hear from Mark. I'm sure a personal message would be encouraging :2thumbs: Actually any personal info from Mark could rallye support in the Mopar community. I'd love to hear his vision for season 3!! :wave:
awesome Tom :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs:
Finally got to watch the episode from last week on Saturday. Great show all the way around... perfect balance of the "show" aspects mixed with plenty of car time. Looking forward to the next season after that finale for sure.
I haven't watched last week's episode in FF yet, but are you guys saying that there actually was more than 3 minutes of worthwhile content? :o
If so, does anyone want to guess that this one good show in 2 seasons is a trend of things to come or just a fluke? :shruggy:
Fluke.

I am hoping that too. Hopefully Mark (the JR Ewing of Mopars) is reading these threads and season three will be a great season.
hopefully he sees the negative criticism as well as the butt kissing...

I don't hate the show, either. I find it entertaining. I watch it for the Mopars.
Will I be watching Season 3? Of course.
I hope Mark sees this too as constructive criticism. It has the potential of being a very good show. :yesnod:

Thanks I look forward to what he/Mark has to say.... I hope all is going well on your project...
Here's a few pics. Not the best, but better than nothing. Thie first is an older one I forgot to post. It shows that he left the wing washer attached to the trunk gutter, one to keep the original welds and two so no one could say "rebody" I know that's an ongoing debate and I don't say that to start one, it's just my own personal opinion. Next two are the front and rear floors as you can all tell. Last is inside the trunk. (sorry, best I could do)
OK, my mistake that last one was me inside the trunk working with one of the off screen guys. I can't spell his first name so he goes by "lucky" great guy, knows his stuff. You'll probably be seeing a little more of him and the other guy Derrick. I have a few more pics I get on in a bit, but have to do some work now
Hey look its uncle fester :icon_smile_big: :nana:
you should see me with a lightbulb in my mouth!! we're twins, of course I'm the better looking one
Is it just me or do they have the rear footwell floor pans lapping over the rear seat floor the wrong way? On the Daytona this is.

I have to have a guy here where I work convert it so i can download it to youtube. I will be the first to admit I don't know how to do this tech stuff. He is suppose to help me with it tomorrow. As soon as i get it done i will let you all know and provide a link as long as it works. The only time I can do this is when I'm at work because the other guy has the stuff to do it.
Making your own Youtube account and uploading is pretty cool, I'd encourage you to ask your friend how he is doing it. Youtube does a lot of the heavy lifting in terms of encoding and all that junk. I'd like to see more videos of everything Mopar, so give it a try if you can get some pointers!

I would just hammer him right back. In fact i did on a phone conversation. He was pretty funny about though. I couldn't believe how loud grinding those welds were in that small trunk!! That bare metal shell was one hell of an echo chamber!

Hi, this is Mark aka Buzzard Beak, and I never had intentions on posting anything again. I just wanted a free way to advertise and get some money in my pocket :yesnod:
I saw last week's show yesterday & I was amazed that they showed real work. However, two peope to install muffler shields is a little much. One thing I've noticed; from what we see of him, Daren is just a complainer who never does any work. I'm sure he must do something there, but I sure wouldn't want to be portrayed like that.

:iagree:
No doubt Mark is a much better in person in real life than the "bad-ass" role he plays on TV.
Mark's nasty arrogant character from Graveyeard Carz season 1-2 isn't relevant anymore....and really wasn't necessary at all. :badidea:
The plotline for season 3 should return to original. A likeable bunch of talented guys who discover dead mopars, research their history, share owner stories, and rebuild to original.
Mark had a genius plot which was abandoned midway through season one.
I'd like to see more Mark Worman and less "stooges" in future episodes. Showing people as themselves will be better for everyone involved :Twocents: :Twocents:
I'm sure you guys are funny....so let's see some genuine humor for a change. :cheers:
We'll just have to wait and see what happens :popcrn: :popcrn: :popcrn:
Maybe he just needs a new editor, I think the best parts are all left out...
:slap:
Or maybe the wrong footage was sent in mistakenly :smilielol:
Well I (my friend) got that video to the right file type, but it came out horribly grainy. You can't even see my tooth that broke the first day I was there which makes me look like a toothless hick! No offense to the toothless hicks. :smilielol: At work now so I can't load it to youtube so I may have my girlfriends kid try to make a better copy tonight and load that up instead. If it doesn't work, you'll have to watch the grainy/blurry one. I'm sure you're not watching it to see how attractive we are but rather whats being said. If i was 15yrs. old I"d have it figured out in 5 minutes!

I can relate on being computer challenged :brickwall: , I have a 13 y/o niece that knows more than I do I think, we've been using them for about the same amount of time too... looks like your making great progress on the Daytona in you other GYC thread....
24 pages and it's still a crappy show. Put some more effort into your posts fellas. :lol:
OK, hopefully I did this right. Not that tech savy as you can tell. About a minute long. Yes I look like a toothless hick! I broke my tooth years ago and of course on my second day there it just fell off. Oh well, we all made fun of it. My girlfriends son did the converstion so you get what you get like it or not. Hopefully SOME will as least appreciate this a little bit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynSIr9hut58&feature=youtu.be
Well, that sounds promising. It was nice of him to take the time to do that. :yesnod:

Congrats r4daytona, you must be one happy guy. Just owning a Daytona is cool enough, but doing a nut bolt resto and doing work on it yourself must be an
incredible feeling.
So you got the wheels and tires for free? I would be happy to, I just paid $1700.00 for a set of 14'' Magnums and red line tires through them. So you said you
are putting the trim rings on those wheels? do they not sell the stock 69 wheels that are not chromed like 68 style Magnums? the two sets of 69 trim ring wheels I
have are a silver color. I don't see them on Coker's web site.
We were only concerned your wheels lug nut holes will go bad, getting taken on and off lots of time's, will enlarge the holes, and the lug nuts will go
right through the hole, I have proof of that. . Specialty wheels will tell you be carefull of this happening. The way the wheels are pressed in that area, makes
the metal soft. Tom at Specialty Wheels told me this years ago, He also told me never to use impact, and also be carefull and to tighten by hand with a socket.
And also to be carefull to not over torque.
Good luck, were are enjoying watching the resto on your car :yesnod:

Hopefully SOME will as least appreciate this a little bit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynSIr9hut58&feature=youtu.be
Congrats r4daytona, you must be one happy guy. Just owning a Daytona is cool enough, but doing a nut bolt resto and doing work on it yourself must be an
incredible feeling.
So you got the wheels and tires for free? I would be happy to, I just paid $1700.00 for a set of 14'' Magnums and red line tires through them. So you said you
are putting the trim rings on those wheels? do they not sell the stock 69 wheels that are not chromed like 68 style Magnums? the two sets of 69 trim ring wheels I
have are a silver color. I don't see them on Coker's web site.
We were only concerned your wheels lug nut holes will go bad, getting taken on and off lots of time's, will enlarge the holes, and the lug nuts will go
right through the hole, I have proof of that. . Specialty wheels will tell you be carefull of this happening. The way the wheels are pressed in that area, makes
the metal soft. Tom at Specialty Wheels told me this years ago, He also told me never to use impact, and also be carefull and to tighten by hand with a socket.
And also to be carefull to not over torque.
Good luck, were are enjoying watching the resto on your car :yesnod:
Dan
it's great to see Mark respond to some of the DC.com guys, that he's paying attention or listens anyway, I'd like to see more of what he/Mark thinks & comments about the next GYC season & some of the other builds...
8WHEELER thanks for the info I will relay that. I don't believe Coker has the wheel/rim part in black and the center in chrome. Thats fine with me because once the trim rings are on it should be barely noticeable. The car did originally have the trim rings so they are going back on. If I feel like it I may get some black etching paint and treat the parts of chrome that show thru. We'll have to see what it looks like first.
Thanks again
Tom

I just feel bad for all these people that keep sending their cars there so that they will be built on TV. So far they have done two seasons and completed how many cars???? Yet Mark keeps bringing them in. Mark is an okay guy, but he is putting to much on his plate at the same time and a lot of these cars will never be finished on the show. Mark spoke with me about doing some work on the show and I helped him with a lot of history on the sunroof challenger, including getting him the original doors off of the car. Then he just for what ever reason quit corresponding with me. If that's how it works with people that help him out, I wonder how things work with the customers once he has their money... The black cuda that was supposed to be done in two weeks on their season finally, is still not done. They do pretty good work, for the most part. However they showed how well the prep work was done on Darrins engine compartment :o Mark REALLY needs to quit being such a dink and build the damn cars so he can get them back to the customers.
I don't care one way or the other on the "comedy", but the show has great potential IF he would just work on the cars. The information spots of the show are great, when he does it rite (lower control arms :brickwall:). I have a hard time with all the fake comedy and drama. I understand having sponsor plugs, but they don't need to be so extreme. Show the item, give the website, and be done with it. Mark says he listens to these comments, and reads what we want to see. But things hadn't changed. I will give season three a view when it comes out, but I have my doubts.
Mark did tell me when I was down there that the show is a character show, it's not about the cars. Well if your target audiance is car guys, specifically Mopars. The show better be about the cars...
No disrespect intended. Just voicing my thoughts...
well said :2thumbs: , I don't know Mark, I don't know his business practices or the real time line on these cars, but I think "most" car enthusiasts watching the show & hoping it will get better, are pretty much thinking the same thing... But some won't, the people that have a stake in the game or the buddy types, the rest of us would just like to see a "good MoPar enthusiast restoration show", with little drama & more information, even parts supplies information plugs, instead of all the made up scripted BS or non car related self promotional plugs, Mark seams so set on having to show... :Twocents:

15 Min. of fame? And to think, the GL lasted 30 plus years.
It would be cool to see a car completed at least every other episode.

Quote from: C_stripes on May 12, 2013, 03:56:23 PM
I see things getting really bad for him in the future...
OCC is a good example of what the TV show & fame did to those guys.
So does everybody that's bitching about the show actually think that they don't finish any other cars other than the ones you see on the show? I think what people are seeing is what is being done on the weekends at the shop. I believe they have a full crew that works m-f and they film on the weekends...I could be wrong but that's the impression I have gotten. It doesn't matter though because you will all find something to bitch about anyways. No TV show is perfect...at least there are some cool Mopars in this show. Believe it or not some people don't want to see and hour of nothing but working on cars. The only people that will watch that is the hardcore gearheads. Ok....you can all rant on about how you can't stand the show now. :)
Go Ram it.
I have actually been to the shop. They are a modern day, collision repair shop. The mopars they build are on film and don't get worked on as frequent as they should. Still, people are sending their cars out with the expectation that it will be on the show.
Thats how I see it anyway...
Ok, yes I'm biased so Plenty of people will disregard what i say. However, when i meet some of you which I do hope to do, you'll find out I'm pretty decent. And if there"s any good looking single women reading this, I'm pretty available too. lol
Anyway, yes alot of the filming goes on over the weekends and yes C Stripes Mark does need help getting the cars done. I know he's been super busy because they are doing the filming for Season III so thats probably why he hasn't gotten back to you. Sorry about that.
He does have two full time guys (Derrick and Lucky) GREAT guys, very knowledgeable that work full time. They'll work on collison jobs that come in and do bodywork on the mopars. Josh is there full time ,he does alot of the running around and some of the smaller work on the cars since he is learning.
I guess I'd say (to use a cliche) he's caught between a rock and a hard place. Hasn't made enough money from the show yet to hire more guys to get the cars done, but has several cars to do. I know I said it in an earlier response, Mark doesn't get any financial or technical help from anyone. This is all out of his own pocket and he and his guys had to learn how to produce it. It's not like other shows that the networks throw gobs of money at and help develop. Thats why he looks for input and listens to the good and bad.
Some need to remember that when you watch it for the first time, the filming was done MONTHS prior to that. So when some people say "I hope next week shows more cars", it's not like Mark can read that and make any changes. Season III is being filmed and i know he's read all the good and bad and when iwas there he and I talked about a bunch of stuff that could be improvements, many of which he had already thought of.
I'm confident next season will be even better. Hey, you'll get to see me inside my trunk and my broken front toofums!

ive been on both sides of the fence with this show so far, but im still there. they still show some good mopar shots. and as we all know, chop cut rebuild shows alot of the hands on stuff. last season was watched and enjoyed. this season had a nova in it. i even stated id watch. a 55 that was a complete, keep nothing that was original. new body, new fenders, new everything. i actually made it through the third episode and then just erased them when they were recorded. no matter how much hands on you see, if you arent interested in the show and the cars, you dont watch. so i will hang in there with mark and see where this goes. good luck with the new season mark. :2thumbs:

I wouldn't bet money on it, but I'd bet you dinner ..... as long as you bring a good looking single woman with you! :smilielol: Just for the fun of it, yes, $20 I'd bet you. Thanks for the compliment on the car by the way. It's still kind of weird though thats it's mine, hasn't quite sunk in yet.
Lets face it, all these reality shows have fabricated drama and over the top characters. That's what keeps many people watching. Overhauling, Orange County Choppers, American Hot Rods (Boyd Coddington) all had staged episodes and story lines for the most part........ I think Mark just needs to continue to work on the balance between that and what matters to guys like us - the cars!
I admit, I wasn't a real fan of the first seasons episodes but it is starting to grow on me a little. I think generally his work on the cars is pretty good but I cringe when I see him do things like remove a door from a freshly painted car without taping the edges, or stealing parts from one car to put on another.

totally agree , except when its darens car i hope he steals all the parts off it :)
Okay, I finally got a chance to check this out. I HATE the fake stuff. Yes - other shows have it but it plays out really forced and weird here. Theoretically the show's target viewing audience is the Mopar community and other car people - so it shouldn't need all that goofy shit to sustain itself anyway.
My advice would be: Don't let the suits have their way. Be like Mopar - break from the banal and put substance first. Focus on the cars, who owned them, their history, relevance, how the projects came to be, why certain decisions relating to the restoration were made. Showcase talent rather than half-hearted and contrived attempts to rip on one another.

On the show he's on the www all the time, why not try to drum up some business here too, or maybe help some people with questions &/or problems, if he's such an expert, like he's always saying that he is... we are supposed to be his demographic... aren't we ??... :slap:
I sent Mark a PM last month with a few questions about my 70 and he wrote back within a few days! :2thumbs:
He's a busy guy and I'm sure he looks at this site, but spends most time working on show, work, family, Facebook, and building his own site...
It appears he is spread very thin but managing.....
I dont think we are his demographic at all. We know Mopar here, very hard to fool us, and if he makes a mistake he gets called out on it. I think he is after the Honey Boo Boo crowd, or hillbillies, hillbillies are the hot ticket right now.

Some of us don't like the DRAMA of either. :icon_smile_blackeye:
I would love to watch how parts get restored. Of all the car shows today, the only ones that really show "HOW TO" are in the POWER BLOCK. Of them I think they show more on bodywork and panel/patch making and welding. I don't understand why it is this way. Most of the HOME IMPROVEMENT shows are pretty much hands on. New Yankee Workshop has always shown everything you would learn in a wood shop classroom and more. NO DRAMA....
I feel most of these REALITY/HOW TO shows are more about making people look like morons. OCC probably being the leader of WHY BOTHER TV.
What drives me crazy the most is when they do one little thing on a car and then (TIME FOR THE "I WENT AHEAD AND", INTERVIEW). You know, John set a part on the top of the bench and went to get a tattoo, so I went right ahead and made the decision to go ahead and more that part from the top of the car to the bench and had that done while JOHN was off getting a TATTOO!!! Yeah, that is exactly how a shop runs!!!!! If it were my car in that shop and I were being charged 3 arms and 8 to 10 legs, I would want a camera on it 24/7 to prove what I am paying for... I owned a repair shop. 2 as a matter of fact. I can tell you I never ran out in the middle of a work day to get a tattoo or a hair cut or just go for a ride on my Harley because I was having a bad day... They make us look like a bunch of morons.....

I think it's fair to say that most here don't like the fake drama.
The truth is very little of so called reality shows is real.... Some shows are very clear that they are real with normal people doing normal reactions with normal drama like Survivor and some of the cooking shows. You still get a few that play for the camera but most are trying to get that million dollars or be the winner.
Now, Honey boo boo.....that's right up there with Springer, the kardashians Jersey shore and on and on and on........................Just trash TV but some find it fun to watch... NOT ME! It was funny but I saw Honey boo boo and her mom on a late night talk show. Honey boo boo"s mom was talking pretty clear and did NOT need captions at the bottom for us to understand her. I'm thinking WTF? :rofl:
The only thing I find real about "reality TV" is the production and camera's are real. :smilielol:
I always watch these shows in hopes of learning something. Seeing a new way to do something and to watch something great come from a pile of rust. The last thing I want to watch is friends treating each other like crap for stupid directors. We all bust each others chops, but some of the crap with OCC's constant door slamming and that kind of crap.. Who needs it????? :brickwall:

It's that brand loyalty thing, that keeps people looken' at the damn train wreck, over & over again...
Agreed... Love the cars.. Want to here them talk about rare and how they find things to prove it's a rare car. Want to watch a real restoration take place and see why it is so expensive to have done...
It's not as simple as DON'T WATCH IT!! I don't watch air, but I can't live without it!!!!! lol..
Really I am only putting my .02 in with the hopes that these shows will take notice and show us what we really want to see....
Two guys under a tree was very informative until they started doing the same projects over and over.. The short guy on that show was a wizard with electrical. (Or at least it looked that way on the show)!! But he taught how to trace problems down.

Excacly. And the worst part is that they had it planned out to be a more hands on show,but the netwerks wouldnt have it with out drama. THey say people wot watch without drama. Hello! We are the ones watcj=hing and could all live without that crud. It just shows that they are out of touch with what we want.
:iagree: :iagree: :notworthy:
I think we should just enjoy it for what it is, a car show with a bunch of cool mopars on it. I'm sure Mark is doing what he needs to do to keep the show on the air, there are alot of women that watch the show and they might enjoy the drama part. Personally I like the show and love the cars. :Twocents:

I'm sure Mark is doing what he needs to do to keep the show on the air, there are alot of women that watch the show and they might enjoy the drama part. Personally I like the show and love the cars. :Twocents:
But there are others that think differently & are merely expressing their opinion on it.
I think the show has massive potential. There is a fine line between a few jokes here & there and overdone drama.

:bow:
I'm sure Mark is doing his best to keep it alive also, but it may be at the expense of his business!!
Like I said, we all bust chops, but chasing people out and slamming doors. Father and son hating each other. FOR WHAT??? How many tattoos did Paul Sr. get throughout the show?? How many times did he get pissed and show his ignorance. How about the idiot DWAYNE on Coddington? What a buffoon!!! But they went to the shop down the street and the meddle workers there had PURE TALENT!!! Or the GAS MONKEY dork? He suppppossssssedly spent $4500.00 on a 85' Charger because he had a few beers!!!!!!!!! I don't give a shit who you are. NO ONE that does that stuff for a living pays more for a car than they can get after they are all done dumping a ton into it!!!!!
I love cars. I want to see the cars.. I don't want to be treated like I am a moron for watching shows that are supposed to be about cars.....
Give me a show I can learn something watching..
I hope now that Mark has a few seasons under his belt they will allow him to actually show how some things are properly done. Like reinstalling windows and adjusting them the right way.. That is something I have paid someone else to do.. Installing a vinyl top. Hell, taking off brightwork without destroying it!!!!!! I would be glued to the TV......

He already does it how he wants to, he owns the show and produces the show. He sells the show to Velocity though. Its done how he wants it...
Same here, but it's a damn shame.. It surely will not bring more people into the hobby.
It has a huge following and huge fan base , you guys are the ones losing out , people are great and so positive on the velosity page and the graveyard carz pages
also on marks person pages . You guys here are the negative downers . I get the humor and love the show and so do alot of other people out there . You guys just seem to think that
mark is a serious guy and you take it the wrong way . Dont take him serious at all and you will laugh the whole time watching the show . The cars are fantastic and he has lined up alot more great ones to come .
Sorry Stu. It's just not for me.. You know how much I love cars. Especially old mopar muscle cars. I also love humor and often go to SNAPPERS COMEDY CLUB in Tarpon Springs, but I don't go to the hospital expecting a circus.
Maybe it's just me, but I was hoping for a real professional restoration shop with tips and tricks and knowledge.

Bingo... I still have DVRed/watched most, if not all of the episodes too, I would like to see it be a much better show,
I know I only watch because it's the only show about Mopars & I'm not one of his butt kissers, I don't know the guy, I don't do business with him, I don't think I ever will either from what I've seen, he's not my buddy, I don't "Like him" on Facebook or any other social media, he doesn't even rarely share any of his knowledge here or any other Mopar sites that I'm on... I don't have a car in his shop either, I know we have a couple guys that do, I like to see the progress on their rides... But there's way too many of the posters on the other sites, like Facebook & Velocity, that kiss his butt & like all the, fake drama crap, some also have something at stake too, I don't get the rest {IMHFO it's the Jersey Shore of Car Shows}... I would say allot of them aren't real Mopar &/or car guys, some are I'm sure, I guess you need to appeal to all types, even latchers on, wantabees & the butt kissers too... But some people think all the contrived BS & denigration of his help, degrading his son in law & other employees is funny or hilarious, I don't... Also all the fake sponsor plug crap constantly,
usually not Mopar or even car related either... I don't think it's funny, a little of the shop banter is funny, they're car guys that crap happens... But I personally think it hurts the show too, if it's too much, it won't last if you can't keep a real viewer base, the car guys/gals... I know it's just a lame TV show, I shouldn't expect much or gripe/complain/bitch as much as I do... But I also think for the most part, it can & should be a much better, a much more informative show & a bunch more about the cars, more even the employees, not all the "I'm the All Knowing Mopar God"
crap & all the bad acting, tough guy, lame jokes from Mark... I have a good sense of humor & get most all the jokes, enjoy a good laugh most all the time, but enough is enough, people don't tune into a car restoration type show, to see a majority of that crap, but they aren't really all the damn funny, they aren't really showing any real restoration tips.... I only hope it will get much better, I am a diehard Mopar guy & if it doesn't improve, I know myself & many, many others, that won't continue to watch, then it will just go away, go by by, be back to just an internet program, like it use to be & there will be no more
Mopar Only show on TV yet again, it really too bad it had such promise, I can & will
"hope it gets much better, with far less BS next season".... :Twocents:
Bingo & Bingo.

Hi guys, Mark here. Just trying to make an effort to keep in touch once and a while. I did post in the car guys that it's just been crazy busy with the phone calls and starting to film Season III. Your suggestions/comments don't fall on deaf ears. I think you can see that since I think most will agree that Season II is better than Season I. I watch myself and what we do over and over again to make improvements. We are working on some really cool things for Season III. Hopefully the stars will align and we can make things happen. Thanks for your support and constructive criticism it is taken to heart. With your help we can make this the best show about the best cars!! Hopefully these pics of Toms Daytona come through. I'm still learning!
Mark

I can say I have read all of this and been a large part of it.. There is no trash talking going on here. There are many who believe as I do that the show is very worthy of air time. It is all mopar, so it SHOULD interest ALL OF US. I personally had HD installed here just to be able to watch this show. I have watched many episodes that I VCR'd and was happy to be able to FFWD through the ridiculous name calling and fighting.. I understand that some LIKE that. Well, OCC and many other shows are FULL of that. Why do we need another specialized show to be the same? We all have enough trouble in our daily lives. Would it interest you guys to watch me have trouble walking around a store?? How about picking up my keys when I drop them?? HELL NO.. Why would you want to watch me dealing with my problems??? I could set up a camera for those who want to watch me struggle to get out of bed sometimes!!
No. I watched this because people I know like the show. It is ALL MOPAR. It is about restoring OLD MOPARS, or so I was lead to believe...
I am not talking trash at all. I am expressing my opinion about something that I care about. I firmly believe that is what the rest of us are doing as well.
C-Stripes, thank you for pulling up those last quotes from Mark. If he is being honest about what he said we may just see a change in the show and really see what I was told the intent of the show was..

You cry babies whine about all the drama , but you guys are making way more drama and are way bigger drama queens then mark could ever hope to be . :nana: :nana: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
In my opinion we expected too much from this show. It has been on what, two or three seasons now? It is not a "how to restore a Mopar" show. It is a show about people who restore Mopars. It is about the people, not the cars. Once we get that through our thick skulls, mine included, we can get on with it.
Power Block is a series of shows on "how to rebuild a vehicle", Chop Cut Rebuild, Two Guys, All Girls Garage, Car Fix, Truck U, etc. are all shows about how to do things to vehicles. Hands on shows about the mechanics of car rebuilding. Graveyard Cars is not. It is a another OCC type show. I hope Mark is successful in his endeavor at producing a TV show, I really do, but the Mopars are just the props, the show is about the characters. Took me a while to get that through my thick head. But now I understand.
I'll be quite honest, I haven't watched it but I'm going to look it up and watch a episode this morning. I will say characters are important in any show. It keeps a show from giving you that boring class room feeling. Finding the right balance is key.
To much and it becomes honey boo boo trash. To little and it's like watching grass grow. It needs to be entertaining as well as educational to keep you from falling asleep if it's a car you aren't really interested in.
The show just needs to mimic overhaul . Hell they show everything from beginning to end. If you have to have drama, then The "Drama" should come from the customers, not the employees. :Twocents:
We are only expressing our opinions Stu. Just as we do on most things we care about. None of us are trying to hurt anyone's feelings. We are expressing our opinions in hopes that with enough votes it might become the cars show we had all hoped. If everyone it's great when they don't think so and won't watch it, the show will be cut. If it has more watchers than the next show, THAT SHOW will be the one getting cut... So why not tell Mark the truth and maybe it becomes one of the greats??

Mark may restore Mopars, the rest of 'weekend' team are barely able to screw on 2-3 parts per episode that the weekday team has prepped/painted/refinished for them. It's pathetic at times. I'd much rather see the weekday team in action.
Mark seems to be a great guy... He is also doing something that he has passion about - I commend that! I wish Mark would come back to the site because this site is about knowledge. If Mark didn't have the spotlight of the show, he would probably be on this site gaining more knowledge and utilizing it.
I'm personally 50/50 about the show, but will watch each episode. Mark even said, he needed feedback for the next season, and he was going to make it more about cars, less about drama crap. :2thumbs:
If he was an average Joe on here posting pictures, everyone would be helping and guiding, but since he has the show, it's negative criticism. Mark can't make everyone happy with the show, it's impossible. The show is what it is, and getting better. :2thumbs:
Here is a cool ass video he put together due to his love of Mopars - LOVE IT!

BIG NEWS! Mr. Bill Goldberg has selected Graveyard Carz to finish the assembly and detail of his 1968 GTX Convertible. This is the first Mopar Bill ever bought and he's trusting us with his baby. I have decided that I will let Daren aka Chips be responsible for his car. Let's see him chip this one:)

Perhaps people should check this out first before they start with comments. Check out his Mopars. Then again, I'm sure they won't be as good as other peoples on this site. Yes that was sarcasm for those that missed it.

Goldberg has quite a car collection. He is also a big advocate for animal cruelty. Does a lot of good for several causes.

r4daytona posted too....
I was under that 65' in the top pic. Whom ever built and prepped that car did a GREAT job.. That was a few years back at the MATS and I'm sure before that big smoker.... :2thumbs:

As most of you I am a MOPAR guy. I really wanted to like this show because it was about MOPARs. After just a few short episodes I really began to hate it. :flame: I would not let these idiots touch my babies. How in the heck are they staying in business after this fiasco? :confused: I realize Mr. Worman has a vast knowledge of MOPARs which is impressive, but I would not work for him for any amount of money. I would never put up with that kind of mean downgrading from anyone. Dene and Josh are just idiots, and I would have fired both of them long ago.:brickwall: Royal is the typical employee. The secretary is the smartest of the bunch (she should file harassment on Dene). (I have also said all this on their Facebook site, so it is no secret to them how I feel.)
I will not watch this show again until they stop all the stupid acting or whatever they call it. It just makes all MOPAR guys look like buffoons.

As our beloved AAR Cuda heads home tomorrow she makes room for more Mopars return to life. It's been fun old girl, you stay beautiful for Chris and we'll see you again soon
Oops. Thanks hawkeye. Good eye.
Just my 2 cents but ...... The clique strikes again! Ha! I am no real fan of the show because of all the staged drama between the employees and the boss but, they do seem to eventually get it right on a restoration of a valuable old MOPAR.
To ACUDANUT: yep, life is NOT fair! Figured you should know that by now but, unless you are rich and famous, you just aren't going to enjoy the benefits of such. It sucks, I really know and sympathize with your opinion but .... life just ain't fair for us mere mortals! You have to make your own luck if you can understand that.
Mr. Goldberg is a real "car guy" and his '65 Coronet is awesome. I only wish I could own it but, I don't and can't. I hope the show turns to more about restorations and less drama between the workers and the boss or each other. I might start watching it again!
I will continue to post my own opinions and comments less often here.The blatant negativity of the anointed "few" here who have a "holier than thou" or apparent jealous attitude for anyone brazen enough to post objections to their posts are obvious. Especially if you post or speak of their own position on things that REALLY matter in life. Too bad as this used to be like an automotive "pantheon" of things CHARGER but, not anymore. Too many "little" people here that just want to gloat about their own knowledge and belittle the newby's, rich and famous or not! Some cannot post an answer to most any thread without mentioning what they have and what they know about all things Charger! What is funny is these are not necessarily the people I speak of as in the "Clique" but, generally, things tend to point in that direction.
I haven't followed wrestling in a long while, like the '50's and early '60's but I have heard of "Goldberg" and his love of cars, animals and lots of other things and I am sure Graveyard Carz will take good care of his MOPAR! Congrats to him!

As our beloved AAR Cuda heads home tomorrow she makes room for more Mopars return to life. It's been fun old girl, you stay beautiful for Chris and we'll see you again soon
Is it not supposed to be finished?
You are correct, the owner only wanted that car as a weathertight roller if i remember. He is going to finish it himself.
Maybe he saw the 'Chips' episode. :rofl:

Just my 2 cents but ...... The clique strikes again! Ha! I am no real fan of the show because of all the staged drama between the employees and the boss but, they do seem to eventually get it right on a restoration of a valuable old MOPAR.
To ACUDANUT: yep, life is NOT fair! Figured you should know that by now but, unless you are rich and famous, you just aren't going to enjoy the benefits of such. It sucks, I really know and sympathize with your opinion but .... life just ain't fair for us mere mortals! You have to make your own luck if you can understand that.
Mr. Goldberg is a real "car guy" and his '65 Coronet is awesome. I only wish I could own it but, I don't and can't. I hope the show turns to more about restorations and less drama between the workers and the boss or each other. I might start watching it again!
I will continue to post my own opinions and comments less often here.The blatant negativity of the anointed "few" here who have a "holier than thou" or apparent jealous attitude for anyone brazen enough to post objections to their posts are obvious. Especially if you post or speak of their own position on things that REALLY matter in life. Too bad as this used to be like an automotive "pantheon" of things CHARGER but, not anymore. Too many "little" people here that just want to gloat about their own knowledge and belittle the newby's, rich and famous or not! Some cannot post an answer to most any thread without mentioning what they have and what they know about all things Charger! What is funny is these are not necessarily the people I speak of as in the "Clique" but, generally, things tend to point in that direction.
I haven't followed wrestling in a long while, like the '50's and early '60's but I have heard of "Goldberg" and his love of cars, animals and lots of other things and I am sure Graveyard Carz will take good care of his MOPAR! Congrats to him!
Well said. We do have many here who think they know it all and have a comment about everything. :flame:
that AAR cuda is looking great an headed home allready,awsum.
was going past welbys tues at 5pm and saw the red tona outside.looped back too see a washed an gleaming Daytona and help roll it up an in the front show,office area. car is pretty shining in the sun an setting still in show area. wish the stripe an wing would of been on and wish i had a camera with me,darn-it. sure is looking awsun an Tom is a lucky owner of one hot red Daytona. :popcrn: :popcrn: :cheers: :2thumbs: :coolgleamA: :coolgleamA:
Hello everyone,
Sorry I haven't been on in a couple months. In full swing of making Season III which, of course you will see some revisions thanks to some input provided by some members here. I'd like to verify what Tom (R4Daytona) has said. The production of this show done out of my own pocket, with no Production or Technical help from the network. The help I get is from the viewers and people like yourselves so I takes a little time to see changes. Filming is done MONTHS before the show airs. Unfortunately, there are some, that for whatever reason, no matter what I do, will not like the show. They will hate it just for the sake of hating it. There are just some people like that. Just comes with the turf so to speak. This show has, and does, appeal to a much larger demographic than just us car guys (and girls). We are always trying to improve though.
I do run a traditional shop while building this show. That extra bit of business helps with the bills. I'm sure plenty of you have shops or have worked at one so you can understand what I mean. I'm not rich, I'm just a guy who loves Mopars who thought of giving this a try ..... and I had to learn everything myself! From knowing what kind of cameras to buy, to how to film, edit and produce it in the format acceptable to the network. The format that must be followed looks something like and video/ electronics physic's manual. I know, odd description, but it's very intimidating to read and understand.
As I posted on my Facebook page we do have Bill Goldbergs GTX convertible here. Very cool car and very cool guy! We also have the jump car from the Dukes of Hazzard movie and talk about a contrast, a 68 slant six to a 70 hemi charger! The AAR turned out great and I hope Chris enjoys the final assembly. He wanted to do that. The Black 71 is gone and burning up the road I hope and the Daytona is looking awesome!
You know that phrase "you gotta walk before you can run"? I guess you can say I feel like we've been walking but are starting to step it up a bit. Season III we will hopefully be running!

I feel you are doing a great job and its sad others don't know that filming is done way in advance. It takes time to make changes but if people took time to follow Facebook and understood how much of the production work is done by you, maybe they would appreciate the show more. I love the little details that I learn from the show as well as the big picture. Looking forward to season 3.
Ps. This thread has almost 28,000 views!!
Is there any where to watch them on line? I don't get the show here in Canada,I've seen some on youtube,but not all.

Well, I am heading to Marks next Tuesday for 5 weeks!! A bit torn though ... never missed a 4th of July at the beach with my daughters and being that they are 19 and 22 there may not be any more. I've never missed a B-day with my dad and he will be turning 81 while I'm gone. But then again, I'll never have something like this happen again. I don't want to be overbearing, but I'll see if the local Oregon guys can have some kind of get together. Dane, I want to see your car. I will try to post a bunch of pictures while there as long as they have a program to make them smaller. I finally figured out how to do it with MS Paint. If anyone wants to send me their contact info. I'll save it and call you.

He'll post how great the show is (including the fact Mark is a great guy) even though the first two seasons totally sucked and ultimately...our dumbasses will be watching the entire third season just to see if the show changes for the better. :pigsfly:

you guys are more then welcome to your opinions , I like the show !!! I have broad shoulder . Put me down all you want if it make you feel better .
yep, i will be watching also. i havent been as strong behind the show as you stu, but i will still watch. anything that gives a person any push to get back in the garage yourself is a good thing. i will back all the automotive shows because there are way too many alternative shows out there that will take the place of graveyard carz (like the reality shows that really suck like housewives of any city) if we dont back it. :shruggy:

not my buddy
Haven't checked in on this forum in a while.. glad to see all the old ladies are still alive and well and still complaining!!!
any word one when season 3 starts? cant wait to see it :2thumbs: im sure the complaining crowd feels the same way about there favorite reality shows like, gypsy sisters, the real housewives of orange County, the real world, honey boo boo, jersey shore, amish mafia, sister wives, supernanny. they can just stick to that list and have fun :eek2:
Obviously not all have read through this thread. Let me sum it up for them. Those of us "complaining" are simply saying we would like to see this show be about restoring mopars. We have also said: we have also made it very clear that we do not want to see yet another crappy reality show like those mentioned above.
I can personally tell you in all honesty that I have never seen ANY of the above listed shows and never would.

Obviously not all have read through this thread. Let me sum it up for them. Those of us "complaining" are simply saying we would like to see this show be about restoring mopars. We have also said: we have also made it very clear that we do not want to see yet another crappy reality show like those mentioned above.
I can personally tell you in all honesty that I have never seen ANY of the above listed shows and never would.

Saw a few reruns of season 2 a week ago sunday on velocity. seeing them again i noticed lot more of cars in back ground and caught some interesting stuff. waiting for new stuff in season 3.
Stopped at welbys yesterday,talked to mark ,josh and our own R4Daytona owner Tom. they are busy getting suspension and parts ready to put the daytona back on wheels .saw the stripe layed on roof and wing painted waiting to go on. will be back in afew days with a camera to get afew shots with wing on that awsum red Daytona.
WOW,i am still in shock and having flash backs from being at welby. there are so many cars there with hemi emblems and several with pistol grip shifters and like 8 cars with new paint. cars everywhere ya turn,RT'S,HEMI'S ,CUDA'S,CHALLENGERS,EVEN A GENERAL LEE,,1ST,2ND,AN3RD GEN CHARGERS,,OH BOY..Well time for another cold shower .. latter dj :drool5: :drool5: :drool5: :drool5: :cheers:
I'm currently searching for my original 69 Charger RT and so sent emails to several folks involved in the car business.
The only one who answered me was Mark with several suggestions of where to look and people to contact.
I respect his immense knowledge of Mopars and even more now for taking time from his busy scheule to try to help another Mopar lover. :2thumbs:
Looking forward to shows. all the little tid bits of info are awesome, would love to do an internship or volunteer for a week with those guys.
i wish i could watch full episodes in youtube.

if I remember correctly, they showed his 1st Charger on one of the 1st episodes, if not the 1st pilot episode maybe, I delete all of them from the DVR after watching, so I'm not 100% sure, I think they showed a still photo of it & him, when he was young, I think it was a 70 if I remember correctly, I don't remember the color I want to say White...

Hmmmmmmm? :scratchchin:......My 70 Daytona clone the "watermellon" was created using a rustfree 1970 Charger that came out of Texas in 2004, brown, with brown interior, white top 383 AC auto car....interesting, if it's his old car, I've thrown half of it away, besides, rather than waste time/resources looking for the exact car, just build a clone? :shruggy:

here is marks statement marks was not an A/C car , he knows the partial vin
Time of my quarterly call out to all GYC fans and friends to help me find my old Charger. While I have had some great leads I have not found anything definitive as of yet. Last seen in Oregon but heard it went to Texas in the late 70's. Burnt orange over Burnt orange interior with a white vinyl top. NON R/T and NON 500. I have a partial VIN but missing the last 3 digits. My old car did NOT have A/C. it could be anywhere, any shape, any color. Please share and help me find my first Mopar Love. Sincerely Mark

Sorry Stuart, but I don't have any respect for Mark, he's in this all ONLY for him and not one thing that he has ever said to me, or suggested to me has ever came to be. That's after meeting him multiple times, talking on the phone, emails back and forth, and getting him the original doors to the sunroof car... I know of a rather large handful of other mopar people that will say the same... Even Darren can't stand him and pointed out how shitty the work was on his own challenger in one of their episodes...
:nixon:
That was sold to someone in Vegas....why doesn't anyone listen? I even gave the vin number and it was correct he said that vin was stolen from his original and put o. Another car like his.
Oh we'll maybe people like attention?

I am completely ready to be impressed by some actual car work this next season! I'm ready to see some impressive work put in by Daren. I forsee Josh having some serious time to put in on all the awesome Mopars. Royal will continue to stay grounded and move forward. And Mark will embrace his inner spirituality and love for others as he spews out heart-felt compliments to others.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :2thumbs: :2thumbs:
Here's my prediction for season 3:
1. Some positive changes will be take place. Mark will actually incorporate our suggestions about less bickering and more vehicle construction content, only because its good for TV.
2. Spray cans will continue to replicate "exactly how the factory did it"....[instead of plating] on his supposedly "correct OEM quality restorations."
3. He will claim to "reproduce cars exactly as they were produced", but shoddy methods will continually speak for themselves (example: extremely glossy rear diff housing on Daytona)
4. The main characters will still not appear to care, or take the time to find out what was actually correct. Mark will still bitch "like he know's it all" - which we know is a total joke.
5. We won't see any "off camera crew" doing work on cars. This show was created by Mark Worman, produced by Mark Worman, and stars Mark Worman. Mark Worman is a Mopar God...

It's not about watching it or not watching it. It's the only Mopar show on so of course I'm watching it. It could easily be so less painful to watch however.
And Tufcat has some very good points, no need to gloss over them. Don't look in this thread if you can't handle the critique? :Twocents:

Is there somewhere on line that I can watch this piece of televised tripe,

I will reserve further comment until after my initial viewing. :scratchchin:

Direct TV ain't much better. They all suck you dry of money. I think if you pay 70-90 bucks a month for Cable or Satellite TV, you should not have to watch BS commercials. :Twocents:
I see our "buddy Mark Worm-man" is really concerned about us here at dc.com and the Mopar community . A whopping 10 posts.

I was wondering when that train wreck was going to start again....as usual I'll probably watch the pile of garbage just for the Mopars.
Strangely enough when I was at the MCACN show this year this topic came up many times with different groups of people. It happened so frequently that I was going to post something about it on FB but good judgment suddenly overcame me. :2guns:
The consensus at MCACN is I'm not alone - not a single person liked the show! In fact I'm one of few who watch "only for the Mopars". :flush:
I'm looking forward to Jan and the new season. :2thumbs: Great to see a show about Mopars and see the shenanigans. It's no different than any other show at this point, but offers the cars we love. I wish I could have a show about playin with these cars... I'm sure I'd piss a few hundred people off too....
Anyone see the new OCC show? It's worse than before.... But each week I think "maybe it will get better".... It's a big joke.. He hires a kid who looks like Jr to be the "creative director"..... FAIL..... :slap: :smilielol:
are all the seasons avail on DVD ? if so putting on my X-mas list. :icon_smile_big:
Just seen the commercial for the new season. :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs: less than a month away.

The commercial for the upcoming season looked really promising, however, I can't help but thinking that if you edited out all of the bs from each episode for an entire season, all that would be left is those 20 seconds that was shown in the commercial. :smilielol:

I am completely ready to be impressed by some actual car work this next season! I'm ready to see some impressive work put in by Daren. I forsee Josh having some serious time to put in on all the awesome Mopars. Royal will continue to stay grounded and move forward. And Mark will embrace his inner spirituality and love for others as he spews out heart-felt compliments to others.
I'm self-quoting here...I'm still looking forward to this.
:pigsfly:
There are some short clips from the show on their website with some actual tips on how to do things. Perhaps more valuable than an entire episode of fighting.

"A '69 Dodge Charger, this is a

:iagree:
An average TV idiot watching this garbage will think Chrysler actually made a "Dukes of Hazzard" Charger. These same idiots (with no real Mopar knowledge) suddenly think they're "Mopar experts" because a self-proclaimed restoration guru named Mark Worman in Butthole, Oregon say's its real.
That's why I dislike the production of Graveyard Carz. These type of mistakes would only be acceptable if it wasn't a Mopar specific show, and if Mark Worman didn't tell his viewing audience he's an "expert" on all things Mopar... which he definitely is NOT. There's many guys right here on DC.com that could make him look utterly stupid - in about two minutes flat.

Hate to burst your bubble there tuffy but they release a set of videos like that before season 1 and we still got a bunch of drummed up reality show antics and BS for 2 seasons.
I convinced my 11 year old boys that this season was going to be different and that all of the bickering BS would be missing so they said they would give it another shot. Here's hoping.
I've come to the conclusion that no matter what Mark does someone will bitch. Comes with the turf. You will see more about cars, and you will also see, as some put it, "bickering BS". And you will see some of it between me and Mark and I have to say it was alot of fun. That's the way he is and that's the way he treats friends. Yes, friends. Just like the friends we all have that we bust on when we get together with them in our garages. The difference is you haven't met or hung out with him/them so you don't know them. The other thing you don't see is him taking the guys out for breakfast every saturday or taking us all to dinner on friday night. Is Mark perfect, no, and he'll be the first one to admit it. Do I worship him like Jenny McCarthy, no way :lol:. Take the good with the bad, so to speak, and lighten up. Enjoy the show for what it is, a fun show about guys that restore mopar muscle.
I'll go on record as saying I like Mark. He had to grow on me for a few episodes, but I realized it's just his sense of humor. I've known a lot of guys who have that offputting sense of humor and just like to mess with people and talk crap, but are really good guys deep down. That's the way he comes across to me.
I come from family and friends who just slam the crap out of each other all the time and it's all in fun. I like to think those who know me know how loyal I am and that I'd give anyone the shirt off my back if they needed it. Lots of people probably think I'm a know-it-all asshole, too, so I can identify with Mark there.
I can't wait to see some actual work on the A12 & the Daytona, :sarcasmalert: I'll just mute or fast forward thru the A-typical Reality BS grab a$$ crap, like I always do... It's pretty bad when my ol' Pops won't even watch any more & he's a WWE fan {I can't stand WWE, but suffer thru it for him or go on the 'puter, it's not worth the argument with a stubborn old man} & he thinks GYC's is much worse, more fake :horse: , I've tried to tell him it's all in fun, Mark is just plugging stuff, just to get free stuff, like most any Reality TV show would & the guy just thinks he's a know it all, he's a total smart a$$, or at-least comes across that way {"only a handfull of people in the world, can do that", type comments}, with a weird/different sense of humor, it's just car guy/garage crap... But he still moans/gripes, since I have to deal/live with ol' Pops, so I am forced to just record it & watch/fast forward thru it later, even the reruns... If not for it being about Mopars I wouldn't deal with all the hassles... hoping for a better show & a good season, now that I know of someone with a car from that show, maybe I can see it in a different light... I'm not a hater, like many here will say, just Optimistic at best, that the show will be/get much better... :Twocents:
I hoping for the best...and preparing for the worst. I truly hope its a watchable show!
How come they are not on youtube like the rest of the car programs like Fast and Loud ,Counting cars and the rest!
Or is it just me that can't find it anywhere!Do you guys have a website i can watch them,because over here they don't air this show!

The whole first season was on YouTube or Hulu I don't remember. I watched almost the entire first season almost a year before it made it to television.
we're getting reruns of season 1 over here on A&E tried again just can't get past the crap :shruggy:
Just checked again on youtube and there are only some 2-3min clips not the entire show! :shruggy:
I don't think you'll be able to find full episodes on the internet. I believe, but could be wrong, that it's because the network may still have the rights to the shows. Personally, I didn't think season 1 was all that great myself, season 2 much better because Mark got some constructive feedback, I'm sure more people, but not all, will agree that season 3 will be better. Yes, there will be some antics and name calling - some by myself - but all in fun.
There are some that for some reason want to see, and hope, the show fails, and won't stop knocking it until that happens. That way those people can pound their chest and say "see I was right, he should have listened to me". Well, keep it up and maybe that wish will come true -- then we can watch Flame my Ford or Pimp my Chevy. Some people just can't see the forest for the trees.

good , bad, or indifferent, the bottom line is this. we can back this show and have the chance to see it, or we can decide to avoid it so they can replace it with more pawn shop shows, or kadashian shows, or how about another honey boo boo? what about those stupid kid pagent shows?
i see enough crap out there taking up all these channels that i have to pay for just to get the channel that has a few shows i want to see.
i will back this show no matter what, if nothing else, just to keep another crap show off the air waves.

Yes its cool to have a mopar show on network cable TV, and most of us are happy....but are we all supposed to feel warm and fuzzy and pretend the show is great? NO.
I'm willing to bet that, given the exact same show (but replacing Mopars with Ford or Chevy's exclusively) most of us would be laughing our asses off and making jokes about GYC.
This show must first appeal directly to its small demographic of Mopar fan/viewers as a "base" audience. If it doesn't entertain us, how do you think it will entertain thousands of other people watching Velocity? To be really successful it has to appeal to a much larger demographic than just car guys like us....including young, old, in-betweens, and even women.
Obviously a TV show has to have drama and exciting moments, but people can only take so much of Mark's arrogant TV persona (bragging to the world how awesome he is). That part of the show is neither funny, nor entertaining. He's become the most arrogant person in the car restoration hobby. This valuable airtime should be replaced with more technical aspects of the restorations, as well as historical facts about the cars and owners before restoration...what was promised in the first season.
The second problem is that Mark doesn't do his homework with the information he provides on the show. Much of his so called "factual information" is bullshit. He has an obligation to provide correct information since he claims to be an expert - which he obviously is not. "Not-so-mopar-inclined" people of the world might quote/copy what they learned on TV as being "correct" just because Mark Worman said so. Keep in mind just a couple of years ago NOBODY even heard of this guy. Several dozen members on Dodgecharger.com have much more knowledge of all things Mopar than Worman could ever hope to have.
I love watching the show for the Mopar eye candy. People who met Mark in person say he's a nice guy and I believe he is. I realize it takes lots of time and money to shoot, produce, and edit this show which is produced entirely by Mark using his own money. He controls the content, and calls the shots. So do I care if it succeeds? Yes. Do I personally care if the show fails for reasons described in this thread and goes off the air? Nope. Do I care if Mark Worman loses his dream and investment? Not my problem. I truly hope it doesn't happen, but if it does, its because he didn't listen to his audience.

I'll be watching season III premier @9:00 tonight. Hopefully its great! :2thumbs:
I didn't know they were going to show me at the end with Mark rubbing my head -- go I look fat ! I want to say the camera adds 20 lbs! So what was the consensus tonight? Good or did they show someone blinking to many times so therefore it was horrible? I'm sure someone will bitch about something.
I thought tonight's show was really good. I would love restoring mopars for a living. Maybe someday I will :2thumbs: :2thumbs:
I watched most of it & it met my expectations.
Just an observation; After drilling a hole in a painted firewall wouldn't it be prudent to run some touch up paint on the perimeter of the hole? ::)
My prediction is that this season is going to provide us with loads of entertainment.
:popcrn:
I'm an educated cultured-gearhead that enjoys the fine arts and world travel.....
When it comes to Mark and his "Graveyard Carz", I likey :2thumbs:
Would prefer this to the crimeshows of immorality on network TV any day of the week... Plus, I enjoy the Mopars and the occasional "Whatcha doing there Mark?, that isn't the way it goes.". I've even spoken to him on the phone and discussed Tom's Daytona and pointed out the improper way he did the lower control arms with the cosmoline treatment. He was very receptive and appreciative, nice guy, nice conversation.... It's a show........... This isn't North Korea, you have a choice...
I'm looking forward in seeing Ray Evernham's "Americana".
had stuff going on last night and recorded it. will see it tonight. now street outlaws, :D cept for the alpaca.that is stupid.

For your information, they do touch up things like that. How do I know ??? Because when we drilled the hood pin locations in my hood, Daren said to me .. " put some touch up paint on the bare edges" I was actually thinking that, but he said it. I don't really think something like that is camera worthy. Someone would probably complain that they used the wrong type of brush anyway.

But, they were filmed running the shaker cable through the hole & the edges of it were still bare steel. Maybe it's not film worthy, but it is educational worthy.
This was my first time watching the show and some of it is goofy but I still enjoyed the show and would watch again! :yesnod:

Your saying that after your car had paint on it they/you drilled the holes for hood pins????
When Mark came to Moparts he was welcomed and receptive to advice and correct knowledge. But you always have to say something in a finger pointing way that makes me want to throw up. GYC was there before you and will be there after you, your not part of the company or production. It's getting old in ALL of your posts. :brickwall:
I saw about two minutes where he was doing some fine filler on a door's edge before I had to go. Then I heard him say 'chip'. He didn't actually fill in a chip did he?

I'm grown up enough to say .. point taken. But, Hopefully though you can see where MY frustration comes from. I've become friends with Mark and his guys and have been much more involved than people know and than I ever expected to be. It's been a great experience and those guys have done a great job -- WAY more than expected. So as you find my posts annoying, don't you think I find it annoying that people nit pick every aspect of what they do? There's TONS of stuff thats done, that could be shown that isn't, or tons of things(information) that could be talked about that isn't. Here's a prediction -- lets see if I'm right. Consensus seems that most people liked last weeks show. A few people here that always complain couldn't say one decent thing. But watch -- next week they'll be the first ones to bitch if they get one ounce of something to complain about. I see your point and will be more conscience in future posts, hopefully you can see mine.

See now that is cool of you to understand what I was saying :2thumbs:
When typing, words can sound harsh at times.
I have commented on plenty of incorrect things in the past threads that they do, but after Mark came on Moparts and responded to things I saw him in a much better light. I do look forward to the show myself but do find myself still saying (this past Monday) I can't believe this or that is done wrong.
I realize though that this Monday was probably filmed a year ago so I won't beat them up.
In fact it was their best show to date.
I see you are passionate about GYC's and your Daytona and that's GREAT! In future threads say what you want without the " I know guy's don't like Mark" or "I know people will say this or that". Let all that slide because IMHO why walk around with all that baggage on your brain?

Is your car home.
Yes, as reported, it just arrived yesterday. Unloaded all the parts that came back, pulled it in the garage, then ran to a friends cottage that had a broken waterline running for go knows how long. Started to make a mental list of the little things I need to finish. Yes, I told Mark I'd enjoy finishing some of the last little things so he left them for me. Thats why I finally bought a propane heater for my garage. The car is dirty from the haul and the move so when I clean it up I will post some pictures. I'm kind of looking forward to doing some more work on it. My weeks this summer at the shop were spent with disassembly, cleaning and reassembly of suspension and a bunch of other stuff. It will be nice to work on some of the "clean" stuff. Still trying to find and electronic voltage regulator that looks like a correct original.

No need to bash. It's getting better. :icon_smile_cool: Actually, I prefer to use the term "constructive criticism" over the word "bash"...but its all good. :cheers:
I finally watched the new episode last night & I was pleasantly surprised to see that there was actual content in this show. In fact, there was more car content in this one episode that there was in every single other show combined.
However, he still hasn't learned anything about the cosmoline look on the lower control arms as seen on the AAR Cuda. He "dipped" the ball joint end of the control arm & left the rest looking like bare metal. :shruggy:
I thought the AAR came out pretty good.Maybe it was up to the owner,but they put radials on it instead of the correct 2 size polyglass.And,again maybe the owner wanted the undercoating look to it.
But, he did do the hood incorrectly and IMO takes away from how the car is really supposed to look.Supposed to be organasol(texture to it),he basically did a flattened black,or flattened black/clear on it.
Not bashing,just sayin,doing an AAR,this big part to me is real important.
I don't care for vinyl tops on AAR's,but have to say that one looks real good with it !!!!!

I'll be next in line to say it was the best episode yet. :cheers:
Better balance of antics vs content. A little unnerving still as to how he talks to his employees, but either it's hamming up for the cameras or just how Mark is. Bottom line is it was more enjoyable to watch. I thought the little trivia questions were a good touch, too. :yesnod:
What bill just said
Luke
Add me to the list of very happy with how the show has progressed!! I thought last season was a marked improvement over season 1, this season is looking really good!! It's nice to know that for the most part Mark has listend and made changes based on what many, me included, have complained about in the past. Also, Mark defiantly has shown more of an appreciative side towards his employes which is cool, and a little ball busting here and there never really hurts either! Looking forward to the rest of the season!

Yeah for all you haters who have given up on the show - the second show of the season really has the feel to it everyone has been asking for. If the old format was 75% drama and 25% cars, this new one was the exact opposite. I was very impressed.
I think they may have some of the Daytona tonight. This may be when I was there last April. Just my guess. I'm glad to see some are appreciating the show more. I'm sure some will dissapprove if there's to many "games" but hey, just sit back and enjoy the cars.
On a side note, I'm a Facebook idiot so my daughter posted the news story and it showed my car pulling out of the garage and a shot of it in my driveway. My daughter was amazed at all the comments about me driving it in the snow! Are people really that clueless to think I'd drive it in the snow? Even when I had to drive it from the trailer into my driveway (about 50 ft.) there were comments like that. Am I suppose to have a magical levitation device so the tires don't touch the road? Maybe I can get Yoda and use the "force" to lift and float it into my garage.
looking forward to night and seeing your daytona as well :cheers:

I heard the same thing from two guys I know, one of which has built hundreds of engines. I'm sure it's a debatable point to some. Glad you mentioned before me.
My hunch is that there is no way a stock set of HP's will flow like a set of TTI's or other good header. :scratchchin:
The show is definitely making an improvement. :2thumbs:
The scenes between Mark & Holly were a little creepy, though. Awk-ward! :lol:
Still a decent show . . . yeah the header vs manifold got me as well. And then the cost of the manifold at $500 threw me some as well. I think I have a set in the garage from when I installed the TTI headers. :eek2:
I wished I got velocity. I watched season 1 back when they was showing it on the net.
I liked it.

yep, benny hill was awesome. :2thumbs:
cool to see the daytona get rolling along.
fun to see you travel across the country to sweep the parking lot. :nana:
So in a few episodes, or next season, we'll see Mark taking a tour of TTI Headers, talking about how great they are and how much more power they make, and a giant TTI Headers vinyl sign displayed prominently in the background?
So true.... If there's an ass to kiss (and money to be made) he'll be there. :yesnod: :yesnod:

Great episode this week.
Mark was trying to be like the boss from the office with the uncomfortable talks.... Pretty funny.
Enjoyed seeing the Daytona get painted as well as Swim Cap working in the trunk! :smilielol:
The blaster is crazy big.... Looks like is would be a little tough to handle some of the big parts, but hopefully they show it in use.

It was better yes, but IMHFO it's much more like 55% drama/grab a$$ & 15% product plugging & 30% cars, just because people have criticism of the show, characters & format doesn't make people haters,
I'd like to see the show make it :Twocents: I thought the parts with Josh teaching Heidi {Holly} ? about documenting & cleaning parts, was that he's a pretty damn patient guy & taught her pretty well, much better than Mark, his insults or lame movie references {she was clueless, so was 90% of the audience too}... the run in stand plugging & the arguing with Darren & Mark, blown fuse rant, is still a little much, somewhat humorous... It was
Really Good to see an esteemed member Que-ball now DC .com's TV star there...LOL, but not really much on the Daytona, but it was really nice to see it anyway... Mark actually fessed up, about being late with the paint & customer being upset... :brickwall: still had to fast forward thru about 20 minutes of Markisms :slap:
Saw first 3 this season,,2nd an 3rd were very good i think.... :Twocents: 1st too much not- clone black cuda an sad try too tie it to old movie crap... :Twocents: :Twocents:
have to go to bar to watch ,with 2 sick uncles an my kid moving out have been in down mood an staying out of the bar for few weeks now.. do plan to watch some back show 2-17 looks like GYC catch up day an will bee taco nite at pour house bar on 42nd st,, come on by,ha ha ho :Twocents: :Twocents: :2thumbs: :2thumbs: DJ west

The show is definitely making an improvement. :2thumbs:
The scenes between Mark & Holly were a little creepy, though. Awk-ward! :lol:
Well, in context, he was saying that people threw away perfectly good HP manifolds for a set of bolt-on headers with no other head work assuming a horsepower boost - and this was in the pre-CAD design era he's talking about - so they probably added very little back then if you did nothing else to the motor. And you know 99% of those guys never actually dynoe'd them. And to his point, nobody could know a stock HP manifold would be worth anything more than scrap 40 years later.
I added a CAI to my 2011 RAM and didn't realize until I went to install it, that there was a pretty damn good CAI setup already on the truck. I probably added a little flow and it definitely rumbles harder, but I made the same assumption a lot of people probably made about the HP manifolds - aftermarket HAS to be better - but in this case probably wasn't. I'm not paying for a dyno to find out, I'll just be happy with the extra boom and move on.
I do love downshifting and passing Fords and Chevys and loudly blasting by them with all ~400ish horses. Can't wait to do the same thing in my '68.
Last week mark said the 69 Daytona was a transformed charger r/t. Didn't creative industries use the concept of the 500 charger? IDK maybe they did transform the r/t's :icon_smile_question:
The 500 was the first attempt at an aero car but they had issues with aerodynamics. The Daytona was the solution and yes they used R/Ts.
Good to know. Thank you !!

I'm hoping Mark just didn't have time to provide the whole explanation. A Charger 500 was born, went through, and left the factory as Charger 500 and a Daytona as a Daytona. Creative made the final modifications but the cars were never designated as R/Ts. Technically, the standard equipment was the same/based on the R/T but it wasn't like they randomly pulled an R/T off the line and said "this one will be a Daytona".

Much better explanation, thanks. :2thumbs:
Yes very good. I learn everyday :2thumbs:
Here's a comprehensive explaination:

That's a good read, thanks for sharing that.
Watched an episode last night, and was surprised to see a Superbird that belongs to a friend of mine shown as part of a vinyl top trivia question.
I called him up.....he had no idea they were going to use a shot of his car, and doesn't really mind. He's proud of it and doesn't mind showing it off.
This pic does get around. :yesnod:
deleted the last two shows and probably taking it out of my dvr schedule, not wasting my time anymore after the popcorn crap :slap:

...is key. That way I can fast forward through all the commercials and the BS if it gets too much to deal with. :Twocents:
this episode had a lot of good info. in it. And I think I am starting to understand the humor between the guys. Darrin made me laugh out loud at the end of the show.

Either I'm kind of getting use to all the lame Markisms & grab a$$ BS crap, or the show is actually getting a smidgen better... after season 3 now, getting to know the characters better... I didn't have to FFWD thru too much last night... Mark was ever so slightly, a little more respectful to the guys... {my ol'Pops still refuses to watch it at all, so I watch/DVR after he goes to bed}... Maybe Mark/he's actually listening to many of the constructive criticisms... The Darren & Mark banter grab a$$ BS, is still way too much of the show, too much of the lame Three Stooges routine... IMHFO Royal, the very little actually ever seen Derrick (?) or Holly, are the only decent workers in that shop, they just puts their heads down & actually work... Josh is young & still learning, I expect less from him, he's still green & has to work for & with his father in law, kind of a different dynamic there... There's nothing wrong with having fun, needling each other, especially with your old HS friends &/or a few lame jokes, but not the main format of the show :Twocents:
Ummm, what.... "Either I'm kind of getting use to all the lame Markisms & grab a$$ BS crap, or the show is actually getting a smidgen better... "
i thought it was fine. darren made me laugh.im good.
Mark has mentioned on Facebook that he reads the comments and will continue to make changes. However, season 3 is all done and he can't change that at all. I think overall the show is much better and more informative this season. Season 4 should be the best. Then again, that's my 440 6 pack challenger they took apart the other night. Won't see more of it till season 4 now.
They sure do drop alout of cars off of jacks,all that clowning around on tv might be bad for business?
Well, they break it, they have to fix it. And as long as there are no signs of damage ever, then I don't think so myself.

It's no big deal,they only dropped the Challenger that Mark owns & uncle Festers funny lookin car with a airplane wing on the back. :slap: :slap: :smilielol:
That would be Uncle Fester with a capital U please. :lol: I did see that episode with my car dropped and laughed a bit because I really didn't know that happened. When I was there with Bill Goldberg in October no one said a word about it. I hope they show these things I showed them how to make called , up here anyway, Amish Bombs. It's a fun little explosive that I showed them over the summer and they had me talk about them for a skit. I believe you may see a skit on the show using one that was filmed in October. I was off camera, made it and gave it to Bill.
Finally done with my friends flooding disaster - put in 96 hours in 10 days to finish, then worked on my car. I will post pictures soon but we had to load it last night into a trailer for an indoor show up here called the Cavalcade of Cars. Once I get it home, or at the show, I'll pull it outside and take some pictures. I'm looking forward to doing the underside marking myself. I like the puzzle of figuring things out and doing them -- NOT to the extent that Gene did though.
Depsite the horse play mishaps on the show the daytona turned out very nice

I wonder how that 440 ran with the main cap bearings installed on the block side? :eek2:
I actually laughed out loud for the first time ever watching this episode.

Josh's answer {to keep oil away from the crankshaft rotation {& keep down foaming} & keeping oil from splashing on the cylinder walls} was just as right if not more correct as Mark's answer too {for cornering to keep oil away from the cylinders ?? or something along those lines} IIRC...

no sarcasm on my part,they had put the bearing half that does not have the hole drilled in it in the block,so if it was started up it would not run for very long.

It only took some positive movement on the show Stu, I'm happy to compliment when it seems appropriate. :icon_smile_wink:
I'd still be happier if Darren, and probably Josh, never appeared on camera again. But this show was meeting the minimum standard in my book for a truly watchable show.
.......Oh man...they went back to the pumpkin carving thing again... :rotz: LOL at least the carvings were supposed to be Mopar related... :icon_smile_big:
They just took two steps back. :-\ :rotz:
Awful this week.....way to much on the pumpkins. My only joy was bringing Holly back! :icon_smile_kisses: Goldberg seems cool also.
Street Hemi orange.
Goldberg was cool to be with. I think you guys could have enjoyed that bomb more if they had shown one of the ones I made this summer when i was there. They did show a quick clip but it would have been better with sound. It was fun though. I have something else thats really cool that I plan to make next time I'm there - which I hope is soon, just don't have the cash right now since I'm saving to make it to all the car shows this summer. Maybe Mark will buy me a ticket - he'd definitely get his money's worth and a funny clip for the show !

Bill Goldberg is a pretty cool car guy, kind of a spot-lite type guy too, likes being on TV it seems... I've talked with him a couple times, he also came thru up here in Twain Harte Ca. just up the road from me, with that show Bull Run for one of the episodes a couple years back, he came over to talk to me, I was driving my still not finished 68 RR, he even remembered me from a show & race a couple years prior to that too... we talked about cars & football, he's a MoPar guy but owns allot of different stuff, we both have those things in common, not any really about the fake wrestling thou... Not as big as he looks like on TV...

Sadly, Lennard, it isn't. I can't recall just where it may be, but there was a "Photoshopped Or Not?" Type thread making the rounds. There are a few "shopped" pictures, including a van and 71 Road Runner morph, a red Daytona wagon, and others I cannot recall, but this one is apparently as real as it is.......unique.

Once upon a time...
These were just cars.
Cars that most people didn't want anymore.
They called them " Gas Hogs "
Hundreds of thousands of them got sold cheap or went to the crusher when gas prices shot up to over $1.00 a gallon.
Many of the remaining cars were customized like this one.
IMO (if I am allowed) the show still sucks. A 50 year old owner of the show, acting like a 12 y/o.

That car is not even in their yard no more if you watch the recent re-runs of last season. I wonder if he decided to not do it with all the crap with the confederate flag stuff. Or if there was some legal issue that came up.
He only works on OE stuff (most of the time)
I kinda like the show, although I do wish they would show more of them building the car. Maybe do one car per season?

They actually did this for the most part with the '70 Charger this past season.
I don't care for his bitching about the employees. I'm old school - keep the complaints behind closed doors. I think he's a douche in that regard. And by the way you hired the crew, so likely you are the problem.
Is there a new season coming? :popcrn:
I think the next season starts in October. With 26 new episodes

Dang, I was talking about the owner. Did I get that wrong? Mr Worman....
I'm 50 and even after working in the sun for 29 years, I don't look that bad.
Hes still doing the general lee i have seen it on the Facebook page pretty sure it will be in the next season.

Keith, have you seen the latest issue of mopar action? It has a big write up about a LEE 2 clone and lots of neat dukes/general lee info. Who knows how much of it is actually accurate but alot of it seems to be. It's a good read and I think it's the june issue but i'm not sure.....
Yes i have it ..good article although it not all accurate, but close. :2thumbs:

From what I heard before seeing this video is they saved the rockers and the body numbers.
How much of the Phantom Cuda is original? It seems strange that he did all that work to the Phantom Cuda car but then he wouldn't touch the T5 daytona from Canada?
This show is only cool, because it is Mopar only. Mark Worm man, is a total douche. :Twocents:
I like the guy, ya just gotta understand his sense of humour. Once ya get past that and watch what the crew is actually doing and producing, it's understandable they're a little crazy. If it was all serious and sh*t it would be boring.

Yeah I remember him saying about the Daytona; "we don't do re-bodies here."
If all that AMD metal they use isn't re-body material, I don't know what is.
I'm all for getting these cars back on the road with AMD metal or whatever, but let's call it what it is.

I watched it last night for the first time.. they were doing the white Superbird decals. Too much drama from the guy that took the jeep for a ride, but some nice cars.
Have never seen anyone pour a full margarine container of fuel into a carb in hopes of burning a fresh hood paint job though! :brickwall:

The [outer] rocker panels included the front panels that the doors bolt on to and also the panels that the doors latch on to. I don't remember the correct names of these panels but when you open either door you see them in the front and rear but are both hidden when the doors are shut. Also the front "frame rails" were from another Mopar that was hit in the rear. I believe everything else was AMD metal. It looked pretty good in the video but the hood needed some adjustment I noticed.

Did Worman pretend to punch you in the face when he showed up?
(Disclaimer: My experience watching the show only consists of seeing the stupid commercials, and that one time I saw three minutes of it where they did a full three min montage of them cleaning up the shop. Worman spend the whole time air boxing during both. I'm assuming he's still getting off on punching the camera.)
That is funny. :smilielol:
He sure is a playful guy.
I just started watching the show, it seems that they contract out a lot of the work i.e... headliner install, vinyl roof install, engine and transmission rebuild, complete dash restoration, seat restoration and glass installation.
Quote from: cbrestorations on January 29, 2017, 12:11:27 PM

Why would they buy anything. ? They have customers cars that have been there 3 years waiting to be fixed ? I hope you got 10x the money for your car, selling it to Worman. !!

Imagine how difficult it would be to find workers that are that skilled at that many tasks. Even some of the talented guys here have areas where they are not as skilled as others. I've known body and paint guys that are clueless about engine building and vice versa.

I personally love the show. They are the reason my Mopar Passion is boiling again. I would work there for free [cleaning toilets]. I didn't even have to think about it. The only thing holding me back is my health. I have IBS and Celiac.
Who was it that said "If you get a job that you love you will never work a day in your life" ?
I like your Challenger CB. Obviously so did Graveyard Cars' acquisitions department.
In fact it was Mark who pulled out his White Books one episode last year that got me to ask my mother to get them for me for Christimas... igniting my penchant for more information on decoding Pentastar Pavement Pounders.
One of my passions, when I was younger, was to write a book on the 440 cid engine; arguably the greatest street wedge of all time. E-Booger, as he is called in my Mopar magazines, filled my head with all sorts of cool ideas back in the 1980s.

That's one of the reasons Steve and I do just about everything involved with our projects. For the very few items we do "farm out" it seems like we have to redo their "completed" work before it meets the standards we're looking for. It's amazing the shortcuts some manufacturers take with their products, because they don't think their Customers will dissect the items and see how they've been "restored".

GYC posted a video on FB showing them dropping the car off today.
Watching a rerun of a season 5 episode now. This show has improved immensely.
Glad to see Darren gone. Way too negative of a guy and constantly complaining and undermining. I'm sure he's not that bad in person but the editing really made it seem that way.
No Josh either. Meh. Not a big loss.
Dave seems to know his business and genuinely care about the cars.
I'm amazed that only Dave actually has a classic Mopar of his own that he's doing. Hope to see more of it.
Will looks like he knows his stuff in a paint booth.

I think that Daren was trying to be some kind of comic relief or a foil... whatever. His presence distracted from the show. Good riddance.
And frankly... Alyssa is no doubt about it HOT.
So... bich and moan if you must... but it's better than watching another chevy resto on TV. You get to see nothing but mopars and maybe even learn something. It's not all bad. :2thumbs:

New shows start March 21st.
They are going to find out it is a lot harder to buy cars and fix them and make a profit, than just billing a customer for their work.......
But who knows, maybe like on Counting Cars, people will pay twice the market value of the car just to get on TV :)

Ohhh and they will pay in triplicate to have the bragging rights that their new acquisition was built by GYC....That's not something I would want done, nor admit too owning a GYC's perfumed pig resto, but some people live blindly for the "attention" that would bring them as they stand blindly and proudly along side their abortion of a restoration

Or maybe they bought it to sell as is to someone who was looking for that type car and will then pay them for doing the restoration.

Exactly!!! All because they got a cheap "All In'" restoration price...Hence, all the mistakes and junk repop parts.....Funny, some of those abortion owners say, "Well wheres your Hemi car" or "They are restored to OE."

Some of the prices some owners are paying to have GYC butter over their ride, isn't exactly chump change, for the amount of mistakes made on these restos, shows you that the "semi-professional" level they "display" is sometimes quite amateur, in this day and age of info, there's no need for the mistakes made, as far as the actual work quality, that borders on 2nd (at best) to 3rd rate bodyshop work, I have no issues with the use of repro parts, as long as they fit and look like original
Most restoration/fabrication shops or individuals nowadays have to have had built one or more true "show stoppers" to actually obtain a standing in their class they purport they rule, GYC is more concerned with smoke and mirrors for the viewing public rather than unveiling a level of restoration/fabrication never seen or achieved, so you'll never see a GYC resto/fabrication take OEM Gold/Bronze/Silver, or a Riddler award, or anything else

I am not disagreeing with you and they are all key points. My reference to a cheap "all in" price is cheap in comparison to restorations of similar scope. In other words not the guy doing it in his garage but someone farming everything out to do a little himself or have another shop do it all. That persons price is probably more than GYC all in total....I am not speaking on a whim I am very familiar with what the actual costs are...Of course it does not even come close to the cost of a true Gold OE type restoration....
As you said, it is all smoke and mirrors......and the lay public buys into that BS!

Maybe some people don't feel the need to have their car judged or have every hose clamp NOS and costing $$$. In my case my dad was the second owner of my car and I had great memories with him and the car. I promised him I would have it restored and when he passed away I did just that! In my opinion the car is done the way I wanted it safe ,reliable and it looks pretty good. Did it cost less than an OE restoration ,of course it did but some people put all that money into a car so they can win an award and be upside down if they ever wanted to sell it. Not that I would ever sell my car but if I did it would be worth twice what I have in it. GYC may not to be to everyone's liking ( hell I fought with Mark everyday) but they perform a service that some of us like, they put our cars back on the road for a reasonable cost so we enjoy can them and drive the hell out of them (which i do)! Just for the record i was asked to come on the show for the reveal but I declined,i just wanted my car done and back home. And by the way a GYC "perfumed pig" restored Challenger sold at auction for 120,000.00 , a lot higher than a 70 six pak challenger would normally sell for and probably a lot more than certain cars on this forum would bring.

Perhaps you missed the point, GYC likes to boast "There's only a few that can do this" and that they only do "OE restorations", basically best of the best, if that's the case, then you build a car or cars, like any other shop does that wants to show the masses they have indeed reached that plateau that only a select few can achieve, sure the Gold OE certificates are for owners who never layed a finger on the car to boast "see what I have!", but the Gold OE achievement for the restorer is a validation of achievement that shows his peers and the automotive enthusiast his/her level of skill that has been obtained...
As far as your mention of a GYC auction sell, again you may have missed what I and others posted about that?....
I'll give GYC credit, I'd love to do what they do for a "living", TV coverage or not, but there would be no "smoke and mirrors" pulled over the hobbyist's eyes, or 2nd or 3rd rate work performed...
So basically IMHO, if GYC's is going to do the "talk", they have to show they can do the "walk"

Perhaps you missed the point, GYC likes to boast "There's only a few that can do this" and that they only do "OE restorations", basically best of the best, if that's the case, then you build a car or cars, like any other shop does that wants to show the masses they have indeed reached that plateau that only a select few can achieve, sure the Gold OE certificates are for owners who never layed a finger on the car to boast "see what I have!", but the Gold OE achievement for the restorer is a validation of achievement that shows his peers and the automotive enthusiast his/her level of skill that has been obtained...
As far as your mention of a GYC auction sell, again you may have missed what I and others posted about that?....
I'll give GYC credit, I'd love to do what they do for a "living", TV coverage or not, but there would be no "smoke and mirrors" pulled over the hobbyist's eyes, or 2nd or 3rd rate work performed...
So basically IMHO, if GYC's is going to do the "talk", they have to show they can do the "walk"
I agree with you 100% .. GYC does what they do to make money, I got what I needed out of them and I am satisfied with my car. If you ever got to see it in person I'm sure you wouldn't say it was a perfumed pig. My car does have a lot of sentimental value to me and I don't appreciate people putting it down without actually seeing it in person. I don't trash anyones ride and if I don't care for it I don't comment on it!

Ohhh and they will pay in triplicate to have the bragging rights that their new acquisition was built by GYC....That's not something I would want done, nor admit too owning a GYC's perfumed pig resto, but some people live blindly for the "attention" that would bring them as they stand blindly and proudly along side their abortion of a restoration
Exactly!!! All because they got a cheap "All In'" restoration price...Hence, all the mistakes and junk repop parts.....Funny, some of those abortion owners say, "Well wheres your Hemi car" or "They are restored to OE." It is funny when push came to shove those that stated this would not have the balls to place them in an OE judged event at Carlisle or the Nats.....
Maybe some people don't feel the need to have their car judged or have every hose clamp NOS and costing $$$. In my case my dad was the second owner of my car and I had great memories with him and the car. I promised him I would have it restored and when he passed away I did just that! In my opinion the car is done the way I wanted it safe ,reliable and it looks pretty good. Did it cost less than an OE restoration ,of course it did but some people put all that money into a car so they can win an award and be upside down if they ever wanted to sell it. Not that I would ever sell my car but if I did it would be worth twice what I have in it. GYC may not to be to everyone's liking ( hell I fought with Mark everyday) but they perform a service that some of us like, they put our cars back on the road for a reasonable cost so we enjoy can them and drive the hell out of them (which i do)!

Creston, Hemi Guy has a nicely restored charger....I do not think anyone here would disagree....Sure a #2 or #3 car but that is what you wanted as it seems...However, when you constantly chime in on a topic in relation to what me and Dayclona are referring to than you are off base here. When the show personality makes references as Dayclona mentioned and mind you have been discussed previously. Then the door gets open to the people who could give a rats azz to value/for sale BS and they own/restore these #1 examples to stand behind their cars and the Actual OE restorations....Just like you did for yours.....
I guess they are returning for season 7 in a couple weeks?

You should be very proud if you did indeed restore your car to a #1 example, it's not easy or cheap to do. The only reason I chimed in this time is that I noticed your post was kinda pointed at me. I don't really care what issues you have with GYC ,my car is home and I don't have to deal with them anymore. And yes I got the restoration I wanted, safe reliable and not bad to look at. I never had intentions of trying to win any of the awards that seem to be important to people that want that kind of thing. It was meant to be enjoyed and driven as much as possible. On the other hand not everyone cares that a car is a #1 example, I wonder if people had a choice between a #2 or #3 Numbers matching Hemi,4 Speed Charger or let's say a #1 440 Charger which would they pick? I am glad you guys are so passionate about what you do and best of luck in the future.

Again, your ohh my gosh I got a hemi car.....Kudos to you! I have had a few myself and the point is?....Ohh and two of those were #1 cars as well....Coronet and charger btw...
You like to throw in the award comment a lot as well. I have not been to an OE event in over ten years....Your point is what? I can care less about an award and value....How many times do I have to pound that into you.....I build all my cars the same period and tha just sot happens to be as close to TRUE OE status......That is what I like....I do not like someone whom makes false claims of doing those types of restorations and the fake supporters....
Interesting enough you talk about how people would chose your car over another that doesn't have a 426....Over on FBBO you reposted your pics recently and just how many people commented? 3 I think, wow. That is a big audience.....You may say, "I do not care!" but apparently you do or why else would you continue to post those pics of that #3 car in that thread you created......So stop with your BS......
Your car is nice and restored the way you want it......Was yours the only hemi car restored there? Maybe I am referring to that other hemi owner.....But I am waiting for that one to stop with the BS and to get the point....

He always misses the point CDR.....
It is the same comments he poses....I have a hemi car, blah blah blah.....Those OE gold people and their awards....
Frankly, he basically has the mentality that any car that is not a 426 is an abomination compared to his no matter what restored status it is in......That is the clear difference of why I never considered him a Mopar guy but just someone whom got a car and got it restored on TV.....
Where has he ever offered in any of the forum's any help, advice, commentary on others cars?.....But he sure the hell has been in every GYC thread....
Im a long time Mopar guy. Ive been fooling with, owning, and fixing up Mopars for more than 30 years, off and on.
But Im a little less than committed to the OEM fascination that has come into the Mopar scene since the 90s. I dont do it, and I dont worry about it. I still do my Mopars the old school way, restification.
Back in the day, our Mopars were "restified", which is a term we dont hear much about anymore.
We usually started by gutting the car, and chasing out the snakes and bees and rats, and so on, with a bug bomb or two.
Then we removed the factory steel wheels (Unless they were mags) and put on Cragars, or put a great big steel foot print thing where the gas pedal goes, and so on. Nobody cared about OEM. In fact, it was hardly ever done.
We just took an old car out of the junkyard, or a barn, or some other place where it was sitting and wasting away, and prices were cheap.
Ive bought Roadrunners for 500 bucks and driven them home. I once bought a cuda for 300 bucks and drove it home, and I thought I might have over paid!
And then we fixed it up,usually swapping the mills, slapping on some paint,maybe stripes, or whatever, some loud mufflers and a store brand static o matic radio, and down the road we went.
Cruising, a little racing maybe, going on dates,loafing around with our buddies,and of course, more junkyard visits. That was how we used our restified Mopars back in the day.
This obsession with OEM status is sort of a strange doctrine to me. I think it just came in when the prices of the cars went way up. But I liked it better how it was back in the day. :rotz:

Just like everything in life everyone has a different taste and opinion....Nothing wrong with that a bit......The point is do not be a Poser and claim you do something but in reality you do not......
Your builds may be "a strange doctrine to me"as well but I would never bag on them nor never make false claims in relation to them.....I have always like all types of builds and I just have my personal preference.....
GYC lost me when I watched the episode promoting their undercoating gun. "We do every car with this"....
Early into my restoration the shop I was using said " we like to paint the underside black".. I said like fuck, I didn't buy all that new metal to hide it in black or undercoat, otherwise I could have kept the patched / tarred and undercoated mess I had!

My comment isn't directed at any one person, it is directed to everyone in the "restoration" Industry. The word "restore" is constantly used incorrectly. I've read where people say that they "restored" their car the way they wanted to "restore" it. What they should say is that they "modified" or "altered" it to their liking. Saying that you're restoring your car to OE standards is a redundancy in grammar. The word "restore" means to bring back to original condition. Anything that deviates from "original condition" is no longer a "restoration". There's no such thing as something being "over restored". That terminology is an oxymoron that has been used so many times that it is now an accepted contradiction to the definition of the word. It's either "restored" or modified/altered. There's no degree or in between. It's like being a Virgin. You either are or you're not. Refurbishing is what most people are doing with their cars these days. They're making them look nice and presentable but they are not actually "restoring" them in the true definition of the word.

I've read where people say that they "restored" their car the way they wanted to "restore" it. What they should say is that they "modified" or "altered" it to their liking. Saying that you're restoring your car to OE standards is a redundancy in grammar. The word "restore" means to bring back to original condition. Anything that deviates from "original condition" is no longer a "restoration". There's no such thing as something being "over restored". That terminology is an oxymoron that has been used so many times that it is now an accepted contradiction to the definition of the word. It's either "restored" or modified/altered. There's no degree or in between. It's like being a Virgin. You either are or you're not. Refurbishing is what most people are doing with their cars these days. They're making them look nice and presentable but they are not actually "restoring" them in the true definition of the word.
Dave......
I take it you don't like the term restore....Lol....As I agree with you on the term refurbish may be more correct but it sounds cheap......Just a different flare I guess and the industry including myself for using the word restore....
Similar to people using affect or effect.......
Really, when it comes down to it restored or refurbished, the finished product speaks for itself!
Sounds like Rick Ehrenberg talking ....I agree though.
There just is no word that feels as satisfying to say as "Restore" when it comes to fixing up a car.

Hi Justin! Thanks for the input. We've had some great conversations and I always like hearing from you. I actually like the word "restore" but its use has reached far beyond its intended meaning. I completely agree with your assessment of why the word "restore" has been hijacked to mean something it's not. People don't like the word "modified" because it is typically used to identify cars that have blowers sticking out of the hood and/or giant slicks under the rear of a car. The same holds true for the word "modified". There's nothing wrong with being modified but in the Automotive World, its meaning represents a severe appearance alteration that most people do not want to identify with. "Modify" is a relative term. There are in fact, varying degrees of modification that can be used to represent the word.
I've been asked if my cars represent a "restoration" and I have to answer, "NO". The Valiant is probably the closest that I've come to a "restoration" but a few minor modifications/alterations keep me from accurately using the word to describe its transformation. It's very, very, very hard to "restore" a car. I would even go as far to say that there has never been an Automobile that can accurately use the word "restore" to describe the secondary work that was done to it. In the truest sense of the word, just ONE modification/alteration to a vehicle will knock it out of the realm of being "restored".

Perfectly stated......I completely agree......
Likewise, Dave.....It was an absolute pleasure to get to know the person behind the name! We need to chat more often....

Im a long time Mopar guy. Ive been fooling with, owning, and fixing up Mopars for more than 30 years, off and on.
But Im a little less than committed to the OEM fascination that has come into the Mopar scene since the 90s. I dont do it, and I dont worry about it. I still do my Mopars the old school way, restification.
Back in the day, our Mopars were "restified", which is a term we dont hear much about anymore.
We usually started by gutting the car, and chasing out the snakes and bees and rats, and so on, with a bug bomb or two.
Then we removed the factory steel wheels (Unless they were mags) and put on Cragars, or put a great big steel foot print thing where the gas pedal goes, and so on. Nobody cared about OEM. In fact, it was hardly ever done.
We just took an old car out of the junkyard, or a barn, or some other place where it was sitting and wasting away, and prices were cheap.
Ive bought Roadrunners for 500 bucks and driven them home. I once bought a cuda for 300 bucks and drove it home, and I thought I might have over paid!
And then we fixed it up,usually swapping the mills, slapping on some paint,maybe stripes, or whatever, some loud mufflers and a store brand static o matic radio, and down the road we went.
Cruising, a little racing maybe, going on dates,loafing around with our buddies,and of course, more junkyard visits. That was how we used our restified Mopars back in the day.
This obsession with OEM status is sort of a strange doctrine to me. I think it just came in when the prices of the cars went way up. But I liked it better how it was back in the day. :rotz:
Just like everything in life everyone has a different taste and opinion....Nothing wrong with that a bit......The point is do not be a Poser and claim you do something but in reality you do not......
Your builds may be "a strange doctrine to me"as well but I would never bag on them nor never make false claims in relation to them.....I have always like all types of builds and I just have my personal preference.....
Why do you say that I am a poser, or make false claims?
I never said that I ever did an OEM restoration, and I never did. I just fixed them up the way I like them.

Cool dude the portion of that post with "Poser" was not intended nor directed to you...That was directed to a particular person saying we build OE type restorations....it was just included....
As far as the "false claims" that is my personal opinion of certain elements of your post...take it or leave it... :2thumbs:

They are going to find out it is a lot harder to buy cars and fix them and make a profit, than just billing a customer for their work.......
But who knows, maybe like on Counting Cars, people will pay twice the market value of the car just to get on TV :)
Ohhh and they will pay in triplicate to have the bragging rights that their new acquisition was built by GYC....That's not something I would want done, nor admit too owning a GYC's perfumed pig resto, but some people live blindly for the "attention" that would bring them as they stand blindly and proudly along side their abortion of a restoration
Exactly!!! All because they got a cheap "All In'" restoration price...Hence, all the mistakes and junk repop parts.....Funny, some of those abortion owners say, "Well wheres your Hemi car" or "They are restored to OE." It is funny when push came to shove those that stated this would not have the balls to place them in an OE judged event at Carlisle or the Nats.....
Maybe some people don't feel the need to have their car judged or have every hose clamp NOS and costing $$$. In my case my dad was the second owner of my car and I had great memories with him and the car. I promised him I would have it restored and when he passed away I did just that! In my opinion the car is done the way I wanted it safe ,reliable and it looks pretty good. Did it cost less than an OE restoration ,of course it did but some people put all that money into a car so they can win an award and be upside down if they ever wanted to sell it. Not that I would ever sell my car but if I did it would be worth twice what I have in it. GYC may not to be to everyone's liking ( hell I fought with Mark everyday) but they perform a service that some of us like, they put our cars back on the road for a reasonable cost so we enjoy can them and drive the hell out of them (which i do)! Just for the record i was asked to come on the show for the reveal but I declined,i just wanted my car done and back home. And by the way a GYC "perfumed pig" restored Challenger sold at auction for 120,000.00 , a lot higher than a 70 six pak challenger would normally sell for and probably a lot more than certain cars on this forum would bring.
So basically IMHO, if GYC's is going to do the "talk", they have to show they can do the "walk"
That is what all of us have been saying all along.....It is the talk, the mouth of someone not producing what he is portraying to the public.
Creston, Hemi Guy has a nicely restored charger....I do not think anyone here would disagree....Sure a #2 or #3 car but that is what you wanted as it seems...However, when you constantly chime in on a topic in relation to what me and Dayclona are referring to than you are off base here. When the show personality makes references as Dayclona mentioned and mind you have been discussed previously. Then the door gets open to the people who could give a rats azz to value/for sale BS and they own/restore these #1 examples to stand behind their cars and the Actual OE restorations....Just like you did for yours.....
You should be very proud if you did indeed restore your car to a #1 example, it's not easy or cheap to do. The only reason I chimed in this time is that I noticed your post was kinda pointed at me. I don't really care what issues you have with GYC ,my car is home and I don't have to deal with them anymore. And yes I got the restoration I wanted, safe reliable and not bad to look at. I never had intentions of trying to win any of the awards that seem to be important to people that want that kind of thing. It was meant to be enjoyed and driven as much as possible. On the other hand not everyone cares that a car is a #1 example, I wonder if people had a choice between a #2 or #3 Numbers matching Hemi,4 Speed Charger or let's say a #1 440 Charger which would they pick? I am glad you guys are so passionate about what you do and best of luck in the future.
Again, your ohh my gosh I got a hemi car.....Kudos to you! I have had a few myself and the point is?....Ohh and two of those were #1 cars as well....Coronet and charger btw...
You like to throw in the award comment a lot as well. I have not been to an OE event in over ten years....Your point is what? I can care less about an award and value....How many times do I have to pound that into you.....I build all my cars the same period and tha just sot happens to be as close to TRUE OE status......That is what I like....I do not like someone whom makes false claims of doing those types of restorations and the fake supporters....
Interesting enough you talk about how people would chose your car over another that doesn't have a 426....Over on FBBO you reposted your pics recently and just how many people commented? 3 I think, wow. That is a big audience.....You may say, "I do not care!" but apparently you do or why else would you continue to post those pics of that #3 car in that thread you created......So stop with your BS......
Your car is nice and restored the way you want it......Was yours the only hemi car restored there? Maybe I am referring to that other hemi owner.....But I am waiting for that one to stop with the BS and to get the point....
Get one thing strait ,I will never get your point . You are the arrogant one rating cars #1, #2 etc. In my opinion they are all great on this forum from the one the guy dragged out of the woods yesterday to the so called #1 cars . I even think yours is nice. I see by the reply you gave cooldude that whoever disagrees with you gets the attitude and that's fine . I'm not sure with why GYC upsets you so much ? Is what he says or does costing you money, time or effecting you in any way. Yeah he says stuff, people agree and like what he does so what is it your concern? I come on this forum to look at these great cars that we have and enjoy them, I don't think you will find a negative comment I made about anyone's ride. And yes I post photos of my car because maybe someone else might want to check it out,if they don't that's fine too. I don't post advice because I know most people on this site have more experience working on these cars than I do. My dad had a car I wrote a check got it running and now I enjoy the hell out of it! So you and your crony should get off your high horse and maybe someday YOU will get point!

You sound just like a child with this..."lets get one thing straight" and "arrogant" but you are the humble one here right, lol...
It is obvious you will not get the point.....Heck, TWO other members here told you that very same thing as well in this thread, lol....Call me whatever you want but I do know your just a caddy little guy that got a 70 hemi charger restored. When someone points out a little truth to you or where that #4 car got restored. Here you come with the same statements....
Save your same old rhetoric, no one cares that you wrote a check be it small or large....Everyone here has done the same....
I think cooldude can handle himself...It is a forum and I have every right as long as being within the rules to post whatever I want and if not they can delete that. People disagree here all the time every day, hour, minute....So whats your point? Maybe if you pop into another thread you might see this...instead of posting pics and coming here and other forums just for the GYC threads.....
Your problem is you stick your nose into a part of the hobby where it doesn't belong....However, you said above you do not state negative comments etc....but you sure can pop in these GYC threads and knock down on people when they disagree with the OE statements being made. It is the same thing as knocking down someones car.......
Again, One thread on FBBO recently and 3 posts! I think that tells what people think of you versus the car......but you don't care right?....Then why even post if you do not care?
Ohh wait because your 3 pictures help the hobby out, Not! :nana:
You end your post with :nana: and I'm the child? Keep putting my car down it's okay. Some people would rather have a Timex that looks like it just came out of it's plastic box and some would rather have a Rolex that has some wear! I would rather the Rolex! Get over it, GYC makes alot of money doing what they do and they do it on TV. Im sure Velocity would give someone like you (greatest Mopar Reburbisher of all time who wouldn't settle for anything but perfection) a show ! Let me know what day its on!

lol....You don have a Rolex btw.....Maybe a cheap knock off!
I know you like to spin your assumptions but everyone you state you are incorrect.....
Btw I have a career that makes/made me all the money I need but in your eyes I need more because you have a hemi charger...lol So your point is..Yet, another wrong assumption.
Where have I stated/mentioned anywhere that I was the greatest Mopar Refurbisher? No where? Yet another one of your wrong assumptions.
I can tell you whom I believe is the "Greatest Mopar Refurbisher"...That is Dave Walden, ECS......Then there is about 5 or so names we all(but You) know below him....PS: Even then I am still not in that list......So your point is? Yet another wrong assumption.....
I could care less what GYC makes in revenue....Your point is? Yet another wrong assumption.....
When it comes to my builds why does it matter to you if I strive for perfection? Is it not your money, your time, or nor your worry? Yet again, lol......
See you always give up the reason why you are here 1. you have a hemi car and you want to gloat that you have one(A lot here including myself has or had one)
2. To defend GYC for the erroneous statements of restore only OE examples etc, Which you do not have? If anyone disagrees with the shows comment here you come spewing the same BS over and ovar again...
i have a Timex that has wear. it was my grandfathers.

See you always give up the reason why you are here 1. you have a hemi car and you want to gloat that you have one(A lot here including myself has or had one)
2. To defend GYC for the erroneous statements of restore only OE examples etc, Which you do not have? If anyone disagrees with the shows comment here you come spewing the same BS over and ovar again...
Hey Timex, Im getting bored with our little game. I'll be back in a few months to push your buttons again!! It' so easy!!

You end your post with :nana: and I'm the child? Keep putting my car down it's okay. Some people would rather have a Timex that looks like it just came out of it's plastic box and some would rather have a Rolex that has some wear! I would rather the Rolex! Get over it, GYC makes alot of money doing what they do and they do it on TV. Im sure Velocity would give someone like you (greatest Mopar Reburbisher of all time who wouldn't settle for anything but perfection) a show ! Let me know what day its on!
lol....You don have a Rolex btw.....Maybe a cheap knock off!
I know you like to spin your assumptions but everyone you state you are incorrect.....
Btw I have a career that makes/made me all the money I need but in your eyes I need more because you have a hemi charger...lol So your point is..Yet, another wrong assumption.
Where have I stated/mentioned anywhere that I was the greatest Mopar Refurbisher? No where? Yet another one of your wrong assumptions.
I can tell you whom I believe is the "Greatest Mopar Refurbisher"...That is Dave Walden, ECS......Then there is about 5 or so names we all(but You) know below him....PS: Even then I am still not in that list......So your point is? Yet another wrong assumption.....

For the record... the phrase "Could care less" is incorrect. If you don't care about something, you DON'T care. There is no caring at all. To say you "Could care less" means that there is by at least a small measure, SOME amount of caring involved.
I COULDN'T care less means that because I don't care at all, it is impossible to care any less. :cheers:

I love when people act as a grammar moderator. It provides great humor for me. No matter where one turns there is someone more intelligent or maybe less intelligent than oneself.
Or maybe a person had some medical issues that affected a certain brain hemisphere called the cerebral cortex. The time it takes to formulate a single sentence is twice as long as the average individual. Sometimes words or phrases get misused but the general point is expressed. I should know I deal with that problem daily.
So before you start ripping on people for being less intelligent because their grammar bothers you. You may want to rethink a bit next time because that person may be struggling with something out of their control.....
I have a bachelor's and a master's. That is not to gloat nor makes me better but I did not achieve those by being less than intelligent...
I see your posts and appreciate the intelligence behind them. I was unaware of any medical condition that you deal with. It never seems to show here.
We all have people that we deal with face to face as well as people online that we never meet. Reading the words of people, you never know that the author may be totally normal and healthy OR drunk, stoned, spun, have a stutter, is a SLOW talker, a fast talker, a spitty talker, one that mispronounces words or is just an idiot. I proofread everything I post and while some stuff slips by, I try to write as if my English teacher were standing nearby with a paddle. No, that is not a childhood fantasy. :scratchchin:
A really screwed up person can edit their posts and nobody would ever know their true condition.
A perfectly normal person can be lazy and post up stuff that makes them look as if they are far less intelligent than they really are.
I work with some great guys that still say pobly, prolly, parbly... :eek2: Let me AXE you dis... ::) Icould care less... :pity: But if they typed it, it would probably come out right!
Again, sorry for your situation.
I'm happy to see such a well educated guy so into these classics.... The cars that were primarily for regular Joes!

KD, Thanks! No worries at all and I do not have any issues with you, just know that. Partly, I also understand what you are saying. Furthermore, I did not expect you to know but do to the situation I wanted to point that out. Dealing with this is a daily battle and I have self treated myself very well. Part of my background is in the therapeutic end in the medical field. Utilizing that and trying to improve my speech center has improved greatly in the past four years.
We all have some sort of story but rarely we relay them....

A. None of your business
what they charged a particular customer.
B. Every job is unique in regards to damage, rust, and quality of existing parts. Everything that has to be touched has an associated time cost.
C. Call GYC and ask what their current rate is. They may have different rates for different tasks (metal work, paint, interior, assembly, etc.). Some companies post their hourly rate right by the door or on their web site. That still doesn't help if your car requires twice as much work as the guy in front of you.
If you aren't an idiot, you can usually negotiate prices with a vendor. When you do this it's bad form to go tell everyone else the details of your specific contract.

Troy, I understand. I just was wondering what to expect upon sending my Charger all the way out there.
Sorry if I was out of line.

A lot depends on how it's being "restored", and by that I mean are you covering the full costs in full with a check, or like some, begging and borrowing from sponsors/donors to supplement/offset the costs with discounted/donated parts/services, in either case add approx $30K to your "restoration's" estimated costs for parts and materials

Sometimes people use a thread to archive their build. Now in the tech sections ,yes.
The guy that Bought my Charger was going to GYC restore it. He told me GYC told him $75-85k I think he said & I think Mark told me the same when I talked to him on the phone. And thats on a solid & complete running driving rustfree car. When he ask Julius a.k.a Restorations by Julius in L.A. area he told him $125k he said. That would should give you a idea. LEON.
I've seen a few of Julius' cars. Nice but not what I would expect for that kind of money.
Again proving the point, to make money restoring cars, do it for someone else!

Wow, now i see what dick you really are!! I have been getting a steady stream of PM'S saying what a cunt you are ( well they all didn't use the word cunt but they got their point across) my car is better than anything you have the day it came out of the factory and it's better than anything you have today!Even if you have a#1 440 charger that may be equal to a Hemi Charger that is missing the engine and just got dragged out of the woods!!
From Creston2592 Today via PM.....
This is what he really thinks of not only my car/cars(which he has never seen) but anyone who does not have a HEMI car........
:popcorn:
What a poor excuse of an attitude we see sometimes in this hobby....
Well...that was friendly of him...lol. I always find people a lot braver online than in the real world. I try and make it a rule that I don't say something in an email or post that I would not say to a man's face.....I'm guessing he can't say the same. :lol:

Yeah, he would not want that one! We have had words in the past obviously...I have stated some not so nice things to him and admit that but I have no problem whatsoever saying it to his face!
The thing is call me what you want, cut my car down all that you want(which he has never seen) but this attitude of "because I have a Hemi car and everything less is basically junk." That attitude whether he wants to be man enough to admit it but thats his attitude towards anything/anyone that owns a non Hemi car......
#######That is why I have a low tolerance for people like that#######
It all stemmed from him poking his nose into the OE gold crowd and defending where his car got restored.....I have stated several times that his charger is a nice car but he just cannot stop with his BS attitude....
Me world and Daddies money.. :yesnod:
Here is his recent pm after he saw what was posted here......I have no idea why he keeps sending me messages :scratch chin:

Hey you just proved they are right about you!! Go run and tell your girl friends someone is not happy with you. !!! You're a joke!

I find this very comical.....I guess anyone whom chimes in that agrees with me is considered a "girl friend." Whether I know them or not....and most that has agreed I do not even know??
The best thing for this guy to do is just simply leave me alone.........Thats it....let it go dude!
Wow, what a whiny dude. Sending bitch PMs bragging about his car??? :smilielol:
I have never owned a vintage Hemi car and never expect to own one. That is fine with me.
Elitist pricks are everywhere. Athletes that think they are better than their teammates, Politicians, even classic car owners. I've heard people talk about Hemi snobs, E body snobs, B body snobs.....Personally, I have never experienced that face to face but I sure have online. Why ?
I would rather see a well built wedge powered car that actually gets driven than a 100 point GOLD status museum piece.
:iagree:. Well said. They were built to be driven....not trailered from show to show with zero miles on the clock....should be a crime. Having said that some of the Gold standard rebuilds on here look amazing....but its like going out with a Supermodel you never screw....wasted!
Yeah....Imagine a trophy wife that can't cook, won't clean and you can't even bone every few days. :brickwall:
Guys that win Gold at the Mopar Nationals are stunning. The cleanliness, the detail is amazing. These Mark Worman restorations do seem to look nice but I like these cars for more than just their appearance. I want them to do everything better than they did when they were new. We have the ability to make them faster, stop quicker, handle and ride better and even quieter. When I hear Mark complain because a customer wants anon stock engine with a bigger cam or something, I shake my head at that. Why settle for a 14 second car? Thats what most of these cars did on a good day. If you are happy with that level of performance, thats fine. I am not a drag racer but I figure if I needed to rebuild an engine, why not step it up especially if the cost isn't much different?

Someone could tell you the hourly rate but unless your car is identical to his in every way AND you wanted the exact same result, there's really no help in knowing the final dollar amount. On top of that, sometimes rates change based on how busy the shop is. There's really no way to know without contacting the shop. You can't make them work on your car for what was in someone elses quote! :) Yes, knowing whether you can get it done for peanuts vs a kidney is helpful. These guys are famous AND built a gigantic expensive shop full of expensive equipment so assume you'll be paying handsomely for the privilege of them working on your car.

Helpful tip of the day: when needing to know how much something costs, ask the seller. And, if you wait a year or so, ask them again.
There's a distinct difference between "my air filter cost $X with $X for installation" and "the ground up restoration on my car cost $X". To fully understand the second part you'd need a detailed list of the condition of everything on the car, a bill of materials, and a comprehensive breakdown of the labor involved. Not providing that information doesn't mean a person is selfish. Way to make that leap though...

That's the great thing about owning a Car. You can do with it what you want. They're an inanimate object, not a Person. Enjoyment is certainly a relative term. I have many "Classic" cars that sit around and only look "nice". They remain in stock original condition and perform like new. If I want to feel "premier" performance from a Car, it's hard to get it from a Classic vehicle. For me, to drive them would actually ruin the perception of "greatness" they had for me when I was young. I say this because when I drove my 5400 original mile 1969 Z/28 Camaro, I was completely disappointed in how it performed. The same for my Boss 302 and Hemicuda. Their reality ruined the perception I had about the iconic performance I read about when they were just coming onto the scene.
Driving new Z06 Corvettes, Vipers and other modern day Supercars has put them in their place. When feeling the power of a sub 12 second "new" Car, it's hard to be impressed by a vehicle that runs a 14 or 15 second quarter mile times. For me, I'll would rather drive the Cars that start good, drive comfortably, handle superbly and run very fast. They will EASILY outperform the older Cars that smell bad when started, burn your eyes and have something go wrong with them on a constant basis. Perception can provide a comforting sense of reality in this particular case. I'm not saying this is the attitude everyone should have, it's simply my crazy opinion on the topic.
Mine does not have things going wrong with it on a constant basis.
Quote from: Kern Dog on March 20, 2017, 11:44:34 PM

That may have been the wrong words to use. It seems like they always leak just a bit or have to be adjusted on a regular basis. If you use original style tires, they drift all over the road even when driving on a straight path. I know MANY who claim their cars overheat if they sit too long in traffic. If you don't have air conditioning, driving in the hot weather can be miserable. An original style "maintenance free" Battery goes bad if you don't run a constant trickle charge on it. Those may not be an issue for some but after driving newer Cars that idle nice, have climate control, a great stereo system, excellent handling (even when you take your eyes off the road for one second) and can get up to triple digits in a flash, that's more desirable for me.
I like admiring them and wiping them off every now and then. For me, the comradely and people you meet because of these Classics are just as important as driving them. I appreciate and try to preserve them for what they were at that particular moment in time. They are now antiquated technology and no longer hold the top spot in the area of performance.
I appreciate how Companies like Graveyard Cars continues to promote the heritage and notoriety of these iconic Machines by "restoring" them.
I enjoy the show in small doses. I can't sit through 3 or more in a row though.

Dave, I would have thought you would use the term...Refurbish..... :o
When it comes to the show focusing on the crew(Dave, Will, and Alyssa) and the cars is great!...the other individual "mute" and thanks to dvr FF comes into play...
In my personal opinion the BEST car show on the tube is Bitchin Rides, Dave Kindig is the man and has an awesome crew...Kevin can be annoying at times but they represent what an actual shop out there runs like....The restorations/refurbs/Customs are second to none! One of the few shows that all I FF through is the commercials :popcrn:

You may be right. I've never seen one up close.
A picture is worth a thousand words...here's Worman showing off his restoration "expertise"
"Plasti Dip?" :shruggy:
So....
Are the critics so vocal because of the work the shop turns out or because they claim to be the best?
What is the big deal about claiming to be the best? Sure, it is bragging and maybe not good Christian habits but who is he hurting? I don't hear Worman talk trash about any other car builder. He "name drops" Tony D'Augustino, Scott Smith and Dave Wise without disparaging them in any way.
Maybe he feels that his work is the best OR he has no real legit competition in the general area where he operates? Does anyone know of a better shop in Oregon?
I have seen work from "Restorations by Julius" and while they do look nice, the ones that I saw did not look 100 point perfect from my eyes, admittedly a pair of eyes that are not trained to spot every nuance these cars have.
The plain truth is, the show is entertainment, NOT a documentary. Muhammed Ali claimed to be The Greatest! Pro wrestlers talked trash too. Entertainers do this to entertain.
The show is good for the hobby. It gets some people fired up to work on their cars a bit even if the level of work we do is far below "Gold" standards.

I agree with the above.
I figure Mark acting like a fool is for entertainment. I'm curious if he acts like that when there are no cameras on him.
I love seeing Mopars on TV.
And, it does get me fired up to work on my car.
I agree, I think it helps young enthusiast get a look at Mopar. I wish some of the clowning and the "I am a Mopar god" attitude would go away. As far as cost, I could never afford a shop to do my cars. Regardless of good or poor quality work. I have right at 14k in my restoration and i think it will be about 2k more to finish, but I have had my hands on ever aspect of it. If I had to pay for every man hour along with parts and pieces I have purchased, it would probably be 80-100k. I love my car but it is no concourse gold car or a hemi for that matter, but I think I'll keep her :cheers: :Twocents:

The plain truth is, the show is entertainment, NOT a documentary. Muhammed Ali claimed to be The Greatest! Pro wrestlers talked trash too. Entertainers do this to entertain.
The show is good for the hobby. It gets some people fired up to work on their cars a bit even if the level of work we do is far below "Gold" standards.
You did see the picture I just posted about 2-3 posts up?....anything that catches your eye? :scratchchin:
:2thumbs: Pictures are worth a thousand words.....and there are plenty of pictures around...
When it comes to Dave, Will, and Alyssa and the cars/restoration processes the show is great...I do not think anyone will disagree...
It is poor business practices to piss on a competitor or a vendor publicly and there are not many business that will do that. What happens when that unhappiness occurs they just don't use them anymore or the vendor doe not offer products anymore...

Yes, the lower control arm, right? I have read that some were all black while others were dipped in the goldish colored Cosmoline. This is certainly not my area of expertise but the black has a flatter sheen/shine and the Cosmoline is the wrong shade. Did I get it right? I know that they say that they build them just like they were when they rolled out of the factory but I also see what looks like Rhino-Liner type floors in some of the cars.

Nope...
Wrong end has the cosmoline applied. The finish is painted to mimic natural steel which is not as they rolled either. Where are the weld burns? It is more work on that one part and time to make it OE correct. The cost to do that would be astronomical for customer...Versus blasting, painting, and applying cosmoline.
Wonder if the date codes on the control arm are correct for that car as well....
I have yet to this day after the hundreds of cars to see a lower control that was originally black from the factory.
Most of that seen is from a previous spray bombing those components to look good again...

I am referring to what the factory did originally back in the day these were built. This topic has been debated through the years and it has always been proven they were never black originally....
Personally, I wish the factory painted everything on these cars originally it sure would make life a lot easier when building a correct car. I also think they look better in black anyhow....
What most do not know is there was not many parts on these cars sprayed almost all were dipped. The dipping process kept up with demand, saved time, and cost. Could you imagine trying to put on a LCA that was dipped and then make adjustments etc....? Or even get the torsion bars in?
I read that the dipping process saved money because they eliminated the waste associated with overspray.
What is the deal here. Mark worm-man has not visited his post in over 5 years. :popcrn:
IMO he could care a less about any comments we have here. :Twocents:
Even the "dip" looks like he shoved it in an elephants ass .. way too dark!
Mine I did with the correct Rust Veto and not some spray bomb... and offered before if anyone in Ontario wants they can come by and use my 5 gallon can for a few dollars. Cost me the plus side of $400 for 5 gallons!
Yes I dipped them deep.. it was Monday and the tank was full !! :lol:
RPM'd the very end.
As I said earlier.. GYC's lost me while watching an episode where they stated that they spray every cars underside with black "magic" !

Not every customer want's or can afford to pay for OE Gold or 100 point or 1,000 point show car, Sometimes you get what you pay for, & sometimes you get more then you paid for & still not OE Gold. Some people want to drive it & beat it & don't care for Factory paint marks & inspection marks & head bolt marking & some people (customer's) think all that is stupid anyways. LEON.

Everyone keeps missing the point. There is nothing wrong with the work gym is doing if that's what the customer wants and is paying for. The problem is that he is claiming that he's doing oe restoration and he just isn't........

Here's a pic of a "restored" arm that's more acceptable for comparison, but the entire point was missed, point being is you have an individual/group claiming to do OE restorations, an individual/group who at this level being on TV proclaiming their abilities "only a few can do this", having viewers blindly follow or believe some of the hype or drivel that the show produces does a dis-service to those in the hobby that have perfected their trade in true restorations
The mistakes made are amateur at best sometimes, and they shouldn't be, it seems a majority of the work borders on 2nd to 3rd rate body shop skill, and it shouldn't, the original pretense of the show was resurrecting dead Mopars back to life, but it slowly morphed into GYC professing they were the best of the best in Mopar restorations
If you want to put yourself out there as being the best, then do the best
How happy is the owner of this 71 RR done by GYC?
again mistakes that amateurs only make
"I have seen work from "Restorations by Julius" and while they do look nice, the ones that I saw did not look 100 point perfect from my eyes, admittedly a pair of eyes that are not trained to spot every nuance these cars have"
When I made my comment I was not specifically talking about GYC but more this comment above & any other shop that may not do all cars OE Gold or similar. The guy that bought my Charger had Julius tell him $125k. What if this guy say's my budget is only $50k & I'm looking for a Nice Driver not OE Gold Trailer Queen I can't drive for fear of getting a rock chip or newly painted exhaust manifold discoloring due to the heat. If Julius agrees to do for $50K then it's not going to be OE Gold winner Quality. Then people will nitpik it saying thats crappy work not knowing the circumstances. What episode or where & when did Mark Worman say he does OE Concourse correct work? I missed it. LEON.
That is true. I can see how some shops might refuse to do a lesser quality job for the reason that their "name" is forever associated with the car. If the work is not great, it may deter future customers.
If your a shop that say's My Resto's all start at $100k + then you get all the guys (Lawyers, Doctors, ect) That want to pay that amount. SO, what about the guys that only have $10k or $50k or anything less then $100k. Where do they go? If a guy comes to me saying he's only got $50k to spend & I do it, The guy is happy & off he goes. But at the local car shows the experts will say looks like crap because it not 100% correct to OE Gold standards. SO, Now anybody doing a resto should charge $100k+ to OE gold standards or else they look bad? I don't think Mark W. charges anybody $100k. I'm sure there are guys in here that will say they can do 100% correct OE Gold Resto's in there Garage or shop for under $100k & some will probably say they can do it for $50K. Not unless you do all or most of the work yourself. Many people would think all it takes is $50k for perfection & OE gold winner. LEON.
Every episode he states that they"bring the car back just like the day it rolled off the assembly line." Also, count how many times the "bring it back to OE" statement is used by them on the show.
As I and others have stated repeatedly, it is the claims being made and relayed to the general public. In turn they believe they are the best and the turn out perfect examples just like the day they rolled out from the factory....I have heard the people in the public make those statements....
Do we not hold people accountable for what they state.....or do we just let it slide and diminish the reputation and accuracy of OE gold restorations.....
Most do not care because they may never own or build one but for the ones that own or build one it is unacceptable.....
In regards to the lower control arm. Yes you're 100% correct about that lower control arm that GYC incorrectly restored. That was 4 or 5 years ago, and he has restored dozens of controls arms correctly since then, I'm sure you can find pics of those to post too to give the whole story.
Their work has definitely gotten much better and more correct over the years, because he cares and wanted to improve.
Yes, I have an interest in the show, but I'm not gonna come on here and post what I don't believe, I'd just be silent if that were the case
Has some subpar work left the shop in the past like that sublime 70 charger, yes? But Mark owned the mistake and offered to repair the car or pay for the repairs to be done, but the owner of the car choose to complain about it instead and eventually the car got repossessed from him. And btw, not an excuse, but all of the employees that worked on that car are no longer there, including the one who was supposed to be acting as a shop foreman and supposedly inspected the car during the repairs and after completion.
I also know for a fact, because I have been there when it's happened, that if a customer has picked up their car and has an issue with it Mark has either had a shop fix it or told the customer to have it fixed and send him the bill. Sometimes issues after the resto turn up, just as they do with brand new cars. But Mark takes care of them without making the customer to bring the car back to him for the repairs.
The last few years the work has been on par with most Mopar resto shops I've seen that aren't doing OE gold type work, and that's because that isn't the cliental that he has, those customers don't have and wouldn't be able to source the level of parts needed for an OE gold resto and they drive their cars.
Another issue is when Mark says he restores the cars to oe, he isn't referring to OE judging, he is referring to taking the cars back to original, not modified. OE has taken on a whole new meaning since OE judging came into play. OE only stands for original equipment, I don't see the repro parts company called OER getting hammered on regularly because of the name of their company
Mark also does something that I don't know of any shops that do. He gives a price before the restoration that includes parts, so it's an "all in" price. How many times have people brought their cars to resto shops with open ended billing that well exceeded the price they were led to believe the resto would cost? I think he should be commended on that point. Since when someone gets a price from his shop that's including all parts, when you're comparing his prices to other shops take that into consideration
As far as making statements like "we're the best" etc., remember it is TV and the networks want superlatives like that.
As far as not liking Marks persona, it may not be for everybody, but I think it's cool to have a Mopar only TV show that showcases the cars we're into and showcases them for the rest of the world to see, which I know for sure has garnered much more interest in Mopars because of the show.
I'm sure what I posted can be dissected and other restos they did that there were shortcomings can be brought up, but I'm not going to engage in a back and forth
Disclaimer, I know I have improperly used the term restoration or resto, but it's just the accepted term,
All is good :2thumbs:
Tony, you make some good points. The interpretation of "Back to the way they were the day they were born" has been assumed that it meant cosmetically restored to appear visually the same. When you take it that way, it does look like TV bragging. If you take the statement to mean Original type parts, it sounds more truthful.
Thanks for popping in to help out.
Thanks Tony! :2thumbs:

In the most recent episode Mark spent some time showing the differences in repop parts compared to factory. Most folks would never notice.
Tony, I am chomping at the bit to dissect your post and point out many innacuracies but I just cannot do that to a friend :2thumbs:
It might be a good idea for the "Statement" maker to tone it down a bit.....Maybe state, "We do our best to restore Mopars" When you add things to give it more flare then you pigeon hole yourself into sometime people will call you out to prove it......That is it....

He should think his work is the "best". No one can fault any self respected, dedicated and hard working person for saying such. I think Mark looks like he has a good time doing what he's doing and he's serving to the Industry in a positive way. How many Auctions have we been at where OE claims were made as the Cars cross the stage? Were they just lying and trying to mislead people? I really don't think so. There are MANY people who believe that what they are saying is true and their level of knowledge is relative to their perception. Before anyone feels I'm calling anyone out, please know that I'm actually referring to myself.
For example, when I did my black 70 Cuda in 2005, I really thought that it represented a "Factory" restored vehicle. Looking back, I was completely wrong in thinking such. My level of knowledge at that time (or lack of) had me completely misinformed. I'll even go as far to say that I would trade everything I don't know about Factory Cars right now, with what I currently know today. There is so much to learn and absorb. The finish line seems to move farther away when you think you're getting closer to the end of the race. It certainly feels that way for me.

For a moment there I thought you were talking to me! Just kidding Justin......I'll call you later about some of the small parts we spoke about. Thanks! :2thumbs:
I can honestly say, that back when I was a teenage kid, we really had no idea what OEM really was, and small chance to find out. There was no internet back then, so all we had to go by was the cars themselves, and a few magazines, such as Moperformance. And that was pretty much it.
We thought that OEM meant "like new", or"stock type".
We thought that if a part went out on the car, or needed replacing, just go down to the Napa and buy the factory type part,and there you go. Its a part just like what the factory specs called for, so it must be stock, right?
Believe it or not, that was pretty much the standard of what a stock restoration was, back in the day.
Honestly, I aint lying. Thats how it was, back before anybody ever heard of Year One, or had an internet to look stuff up on.

I will echo that............
I helped Mark during Tom's Daytona resto supplying copious amounts of pictures of my original sheetmetal Daytona. Mark was very appreciative and we talked on the phone for nearly an hour. It is amazing how long I can talk on the phone about Mopars... My wife points out I state I don't like talking on the phone,,,, But, when it comes to Mopars...... Nuff said...
As Tony has eluded to, Mark and the gang are always open to learning more accurate ways about doing things... He didn't get offended when I pointed out the lower control arms had the improper cosmoline treatment... And from that point it seems, he doesn't them correctly.
Then, I'm sure there is, the wishes of the customer. At the end of the day, it is the way the customer wants his/her car restored. I'm sure Mark would provide guidance on a project, but at the end of the day, it is up to the customer..
He seems to be enjoying himself..... And in all honesty, if I was in a financial situation where I didn't have to work for a living/medical benefits/retirement, I'd suggest opening a Mid-America version of GYC's..... I would love to do what he does.......
I just watched the reveal episode of the fantom cuda. What a joke. Do they really think people are stupid enough to think this car was saved. This is worse than a rebody. It's worse than a clone it's basically like 2% of the original body . At least be honest and say that they build a car from dust.
To brag that this car wasn't re-bodied is blasphemy.
A spades a spade.
That episode was originally aired in MAY. Where have YOU been ? :smilielol:
I agree though. When you replace as much metal as they did, it is hard to swallow the claims that it is not a REbody job.

Yeah. I'm not a huge fan of the show,so I don't generally record them. I saw that this one was about the fantom so I tuned in.
Overall i think the work they do has improved. Mark annoys the crap out of me with his antics,but the rest are ok.
But for this car to have evolved into a show because of his desire to show that it wouldn't be rebodied ,just to rebody it just sucks. Especially when they didn't even to the rebody themselves.

Yeah he ships it off for someone else to do the metal work , then he doesnt have to show it getting rebodies and can play dumb about it .

And that spade has infinitely more money than anyone here. :yesnod: :yesnod: And a TV show. He found a niche and ran with it.
We all know that there are many types of people out there with a wide variety of personalities. When I read of or hear from people that criticize Mark's actions or antics, I sometimes wonder how BORING those critics must be to hang out with.
I would much rather have fun and laugh with a friend than to play chess or talk about engine specs. Mark interjects movie quotes in his act and it is rare that I don't get it...I do find some of his stuff silly but most of it I do like. I am the guy on the job that plays games with others. It loosens the tension between people and gets laughs. I am no comedian, I just love seeing people have a good time. The show is not perfect but it is entertaining.
I like jokes just as much as the next guy, but too much of a good thing makes Mark more of a nuisance than a jokester. If you want a good TV show that models education as well as jokes and entertainment, than I'd suggest watching Tanked.

I totally hear ya about having fun with your day, but the way he acts obviously makes the people around him uncomfortable. That's the line that need not be crossed.
Maybe....maybe that is his point though. Personally I like saying or doing things that make people a bit uncomfortable just to see their faces. It is cheap entertainment. I don't mind when it is done to me.

I will agree that he has passion. But I think his need to cuss all the time makes an ass of him.

:iagree: he is such a drama queen too.
What if Phantom Works took over Graveyard cars. That would please me very well. :cheers:

Watched an episode yesterday and probably won't watch another one. The way he treats customers and acts is why I won't watch anymore. Granted it is probably "for the show", but the pessimistic attitude is getting old.
I enjoy the show just for the fact they show the cars and I can learn a few things. I'm also a mopar fan. Not everyone wants an original car and there is some good info on the show.
I started watching it. If I'm bored, drunk and I fast forward though 85% of it its ok, I guess. :scratchchin:

You so want John to be your friend. :lol:
Part of me keeps thinking that no matter the differences, people will have something in common besides being human.
HD you and John kill me as you follow along and rib each other all over the board! :rofl:
Some people are too serious and don't stop to laugh often enough.
And YOU know what makes me laugh.

Pulling the wings off of flies?
Jerking off midgets for nickels?
Watching old people fall down in the snow?
:pity:
No, seeing the pic of you wearing your necklace. :smilielol:
If anything about me stirs homoerotic thoughts in YOU, that is your cross to bear.
Homophobic is the word you're looking for.
No, I know what I wrote.
You can be a Homosexual and be aroused or be a closeted Homosexual and hate other Homosexuals.
If what I wear stirs up some repressed feelings that you thought you had well hidden from view, that is just too bad. I don't work at being a sexy guy, it just happens. I naturally put out a vibe that women like. Sometimes a guy like you gets the wrong impression. I'm not offended by it, I'm just not interested.
Hi guys
I still don't get how they can show a car as ALLMOST DONE with this tail lights bulbs HUGE mistake... and is not the first time they make the same!
Small details like this says a lot of them. Sorry I can't stand this stuff. And is the easier!!!
That is a funny thing. I just learned about how the inner bulbs are a different type even after having my red car since 2000! You'd think a restoration shop would know long before me.

The tailight bulbs are 1157 with the exception of 1095 being used on the inner lights, this is so you rear lights are all uniform when lit.....

Ah! Thanks Mike, I unwittingly have the right set-up
There are some other bulbs to install on the inner location. Even 1095 bulb would be the correct one, anyone with similar wattage of the low intensity filament of the 1157 ( 5.5-8.5 watts ) and same bayonet socket size of the 1095 will work.
This is a list of them
#67 MINIATURE BULB BA15S BASE - 13.5 Volt .59 Amp
#89 MINIATURE BULB BA15S BASE - 13.0 Volt .58 Amp
#97 MINIATURE BULB BA15S BASE - 13.5 Volt .69 Amp
While the original one is:
#1095 MINIATURE BULB BA15S BASE 14 Volts .51 amp
So the wattage will be about the same. The difference of these with the 1095 is the filament design/shape and the glove size.
So, with all those options, and being the 1095 still available ( Althought not growing from trees ) I CAN NOT and neither stand a restorer making this mistake every time I see a 69/70 built by them.
It is great to learn new things. There are times that I pick up something new from this show. Rarely have I seen them make a glaring mistake.
I don't see the show, just quite often some of the vids they post floating on on my Fb wall ( I follow them ) and is not the first time I see stuff like this, which shouldn't come from an "expert". Even less on the BASIC AND EASY stuff. Damn! How wouldn't you know the right bulb for it if it's even on owners manuals!!! And being SO VISIBLE AND OBVIOUS there is something wrong on it! You should at least search why! And on an ICONIC CAR and so popular car!
I think posted earlier on this thread about another mistake about how to know the diff between A and B/E bodies LCAs. A friend of mine contacted Worman to ask about this, and we found he replied with a wrong answer, being just right the opposite he told to my friend!!!
