[DRJDVM's '69]

A majority of the builds on a lot of these shows are all staged and paid for by the network.... The "owner" is just part of the script.

If you keep your eyes in the background, a lot of these builds are still sitting in the shop during filming of episodes months and years later.....they never actually go out to the "owner"

GSM took a huge jump in the shop and equipment... That wasn't paid for by flipping cars over 6 months

The F40 episode is a perfect example...... No way GSM actually planned and paid for that....
