does anyone know if he (mark) has made any progress on finding his old charger?

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.

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:

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.
1972 Charger Topper Special, 360ci, 46RH OD trans, 8 3/4 sure grip with 3.91 gear, 14.93@92 mph.
1973 Charger Rallye, 4 speed, muscle rat. Whatever engine right now?

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?
1970 Mr. Norm's Challenger T/A

Mopar Nut

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.
