I would get up early on saturday or sunday to watch powerblock, muscle car, etc..... but they all turned to crap. like many have said they were 1/2 hour armorall and duplicolor commercials they would even paint whole cars with spray paint are f.... kidding me. two guys garage, and rides are also crap.
I think it was muscle car that had lou ????? ( dude with beard) he was good but had just a few episodes
they need to have a LATERAl G TV with some of the members rides being built at home/shops. first fire ups, 70% fabrication coverage, cover some of the events . they could never run out of new material with so many great (REAL) builds going on here. commercials on regular breaks only. just bring the project updates section to the big screen. you will still get the drama with ordering wheels and not getting them until 8 months later and causing a divorse over it etc. we can start with doing a story on WAYNIEZ (fnquick) and his long and patient battle with getting his car home.
man Ill watch it. ohh and throw in some good looking hotties ( not overdressed like they just got home from the club)
yeah ok keep dreaming.

Bring back "Rides"!!!

Its interesting that although everyone hates the "fake drama..." the forums light up when JJ is "talkin smak"... :rolleyes: To each his own...I still like alot of them, and some actually show good tips and tricks. I think Dan Woods Chop Cut Rebuild is my favorite right now because they actually go into working shops.

We had a show here in florida called musclecar work out that was put on by Daytona Community college.It followed a shop in daytona area that restored musclecars and built some hot rods.It was good but then it turned to all reruns.I try watch every episode of Chop,Cut,Rebuild but wish it were a little longer.Dan needs to work on his one liners.He does drive up in some cool cars though.:thumbsup: I liked pretty much all the "Rides" especially the episodes that featured Rad Rides by Troy.

You can still find real tech without the BS on V8TV. We recently grouped many of the tech features by category into a tech library.. check it out here:

We'll be launching some new TV episodes on TUFF-TV soon, and all of our video is on the web as well.

Look for more videos on the build of the '68 Camaro "Reloaded" soon, and a couple new projects to start soon.

:cheers:

One of these shows should pick up Lou Santiago (formerly of Musclecar). Great guy.

I am continually amazed that West Coast Customs manages to keep growing and expanding, even to the extent of having operations in other countries, in spite of the horrific build quality for the money spent by the client.

They clearly succeed because their typical customer is an entirely "new money" kind of person with cash burning a hole in their pocket (like a pro athlete that just got signed, etc) and they have no idea what they want, or what real quality is, but they want it NOW!

Their key customers are also marketing companies that decide they need a promotional vehicle and they want it in three days and could care less about the build quality, because when the promotion is over they are going to sell the car or give it away, etc.
