Bitchin Rides
 
Gotta admit I like the styling since he's done more Pro Touring builds in 3 weeks than the other shows combined. Plus DSE is getting big play on this show!

The GTO owned by Ron Meis is on the cover of the new hot rod magazine, I looked it over in Deadwood at the carshow. It is pretty nice.

Word on the street DSE has a show coming out. :popcorn2:

finally a show with some fab going on. I've been dying slow since American Chopper and American Hot Rod went away.

DSE show would be great.

American hot rod was my favorite show since they actually showed the build from beginning to end with all the fab work, paint, suspension design etc. Bitchin rides is slightly annoying with there jokes and showing off but its a decent show. I think the show would be better if they showed one car instead of 3 and got more detailed on each build.

I thought fast and loud was going to show more detailed builds but that show is just a joke now.Arron doesn't even really help build the cars anymore . That show is more geared towards people who want to get in tv to buy an overpriced car.

I think if they took Bitchin rides and formatted it around how American hot rod was filmed they would have a great show. They build quality cars and there fab work and attention to detail needs to be shown more before the finished product.

I agree. Good show. builder seems cool and put out some nice stuff.

Rides was the best car show Hollywood ever had on TV. It might have lasted 2 seasons. They built one car in a hour and showed just enough to make it interesting.

I'm not sure if Bitching Rides is supposed to be a car show or a Saturday night live skit.

Failing to see how those two statements are related. Both of those shows were not worth watching for the small snippet of almost fab work that they might show.

This.....times eleventy trillion. Rides was the only show that was truly about the car, even the Shelby one, Carroll was the backstory. Close second right now is How Its Made: Dream Cars.

Tv car shows have gotten away from the cars and focus on the personalities of the crappy hosts and made up drama in the shop. Maybe if they were real actors on a fake car show it would be more interesting.i watch em all regardless just to see whos building what. Kindig builds some bitchin rides

Both the shows early on had some great fabrication work going. To me interesting.
Then some ahole producer moved to show more drama. efthem.

Rides was great too but too short for what was going on. I'd love it if it was 2 hours long. The Rad rides and Strope builds by far the best.
